On the cloudy morning that Isekai received the letter, the entirety of the school's students and its staff were in the auditorium, waiting for Kagaya's announcement.

"Now, as you're aware, Class 1-A has been given a direct message that Kibutsuji has waged war on us. We have made adjustments to adapt to such a situation. His forces outnumber us completely, and some of my contacts who reside in America recently notified me that nearly a quarter of America was slaughtered by demons. We've already taken action, as we have already evacuated 1/3 of America's citizens and half of what remains of Asia. We're still evacuating more, and we're drawing in at least 80 citizens per return. As it is, 1/4 of the world has already settled themselves into our place.

Our engineers are constructing a large bunker that could support about 2/3 of this planet's population. We've already lost part of America, and nearly 1/3 of Asia has been lost to his minions. We're experiencing an unexpected outbreak of demons. The bunker's still in construction, but with all of Asia's engineers working at once, we should have it all done before the war happens.

As for us, we're going to be training for the war. Now, we've already made contact with the Demon Biologist Tamayo and are trying to create lethal weaponry against Kibutsuji's minions. We have also decided to collaborate with the military, and our smithy team's creating shields, melee weapons and guns that could help us with this war. We're even creating a large robot for young Kiriya to be using against them.

Do not panic. We will get through this. Though we may lose many lives, we must take a stand. If we go down, then we go down with a deathmatch against Kibutsuji's army! Now, go to the main vessel of MizuTech and make yourselves comfortable there. We're using the space in town to create a massive base where we're developing every resource we need to fight against the mastermind's army.

When the war happens, I want you to fight like your life depends on it, because it does, literally. We want to rid this planet of demons, and the Slayers Corporation was created for that. Now, leave this place and go to MizuTech's main vessel, and take residence there until all of this is over. Train like you're preparing for your climactic fight against a god. Good luck on the war, all of you. Goodbye, for now," the weak man announces, standing up from his chair.


10 hours later...


Every last person who studied and worked at Kimetsu Academy arrived at MizuTech's main vessel, where it looked like a literal military base. There were also outposts where other MizuTech vessels in Japan were, and citizens from all over the world took residence there. It was stable, and the high activity on the outposts was beginning to draw in demons, but they were swiftly dealt with, as within every outpost are 4 sentry guns loaded with the bullets that kill demons.

The students entered, and got themselves comfortable. There was one available room that could fit all 18 of them there. Makomo decided to ask Isekai if there was gonna be any events that come during their time in the safe area. "We'll be having daily training from 9 AM to 12 PM. We'll be monitored in our training by the Hashira. The soldiers in our military will be training under their respective generals. 12:30-2:30 PM will be lunch, breakfast is served from 6 to 8:30 AM, and dinner is served from 6-8 PM. We want to squeeze in as much training time as we can before the war, which is on June 31st. It's now or never, guys," he says.

"Although this war has come much earlier than I had planned, this only allows me to execute my plan faster. The objective of this war isn't to win. It's to suppress the curse implemented on Kanao, and retrieve her. I'm not backing down now. I will get her back. For her adoptive family, for Tanjiro," he muttered, determined to take back Kanao from the demons.


The next morning...


9 AM had rolled around, and every Slayer was outside training. Some just practiced with training dummies, others dueled each other with wooden blades, and few were trained directly by the Hashira. It was all a tight schedule, since it was 2 months before the climactic war began.

"Hey, Isekai?" Nezuko called. He turned his head towards her. "Are you sure this war comes into play with your plan of taking Kanao back?" she asked him. Isekai sighed. "I don't know. This just combines two problems into one, so technically we're dealing with one problem. But don't worry, winning the war isn't our objective. Our mission is to secure Kanao and suppress the Blood Curse that Muzan implemented into her. From there, we'll extract pure, un-oxygenated, extremely concentrated samples of demon blood from her, and we'll create a cure."

Nezuko turned her head back. She trusted him well, but even she had her doubts about if we could finish the objective or not. She got it out of her head for a time, and concentrated on her training.
