Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 87 - Suit Up!

June 22nd, 2030

The training hours have just finished, and everyone was called into the lobby for an announcement from Kagaya. He walked on-stage, patted the mic, and then cleared his throat. "It's great to see all of you who are fighting for this world. Now, this announcement is going to be short, as we're only going to be mentioning three things. First off, the upcoming war.

We need to double-time with our training, as we only have 9 days before many of us lose our lives. Remember, our mission is not to win, it's to secure and suppress the target, and return it to the main vessel. Hell will rain down upon us the moment we sound the horn, and it will not stop until one of us wins. Again, we are not to win, but we are to secure, suppress and escort the target.

Next, we have our lineup. Our infantry, the Slayers, will stand up front with blades ready to kill. Each fighter will be equipped with shields, which will hopefully serve as a sufficient guarding tool. Next, our marksmen, or ranged fighters. We will have the military, on the middle. They will constantly fire from the back, shooting down as many demons as they can. Then, our cavalry, which will be based off of the police department. They will be driving vehicles built to do roadkill with demons, and will be equipped with multiple marksmen. Our siege engines will consist of tanks and snipers from the military, and the marksmen of the Slayers Corporation.

We have assigned a leader for each platoon. We originally had planned for Lieutenant Marvin Rosa and a few others to become the leads of an infantry squad, but they were killed when our bombing outpost was destroyed. We are still finding a suitable substitute from the military's sergeants.

Now, lastly, for the gear. We're taking requests for the creation of any high-tech gear for the following chosen people: Kimetsu Academy's classes 1-A, 1-B, 1-D, and for the second years, 2-B, 2-D, 2-E, for the third years, 3-A, 3-C, 3-D, and for the fourth years, 4-C, 4-D, 4-E. Along with them, we will allow this for the Hashira of the Slayers. Any questions?" Kagaya explains, then asking for anything that one could say.

One raises their hand, and Kagaya acknowledges them. The student then asks, "Wait, why them specifically?" Kagaya coughed, and answered her. "The unmentioned students were chosen for other purposes, some of them being medical or aerial. Anything else?" Kagaya asks, crossing his arms. No one pipes up, and he dismisses everyone.

Outside...

"So, Tanjiro, what're you ordering?" Isekai asks, eating a tricolor dango stick. "Probably something that could help me with the Blood Magics that keep coursing through me. Apparently, one of them told me there was still four more powers I've yet to manifest. Hopefully it comes around soon..." Tanjiro says, drinking the soup from his udon bowl.

"I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. My powers pretty much give me the mobility, durability and power I need. What do you suggest?" Isekai asks, eating a marshmallow. "Perhaps footwear that could help with leg strength?" Aoi suggests, settling down with her food. She tosses a fried shrimp into her mouth and then quickly downs her rice. "Maybe that'll work. I'll check, see what can be covered with the equipment."

Every member of Class 1-A had just received their gear. Aoi walked out with gauntlets that have cables inside them, the end adorned with an arrow designed to act as a hook. Generally, it was to help with mobility. Murata and Genya followed, both wearing boots with mobility boosters that were modified to their liking.

Muichiro, Yuichiro and Yushiro walked out next, each one wearing a belt carrying multiple kinds of throwables to help them in battle. Smoke grenades, flash grenades, and frags that were modified with wisteria. Other than that, they wore helmets with digital visors on them, similar to the ones on the Paint-splat Battle Royale, only this isn't a game.

Wisteria (A flower, colored a bright, beautifully light shade of pink that has properties in which demons cannot stand.)

Ozaki, Nezuko and Susamaru walked out next. Ozaki didn't have a lot, just emergency smoke grenades and a bag containing medical objects. Nezuko had gloves that boost her explosive powers, and Susamaru had gauntlets and boots that double the impact whenever she strikes something. It's mainly for her mari ball shooting, but she knows how to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Kaigaku stepped out next, and he had a new nichirin sword, plus a second smaller one. Zenitsu followed up next, who had nothing on him, because generally, he didn't want any extra gear. "Huh, didn't know you were the type of fighter to use a Daisho..." Zenitsu mutters, looking at Kaigaku's swords. "Yeah, I decided to train with one when I got my sword knocked out of my hands by a demon during a mission. I wasn't even above Kanoto yet, so I obviously couldn't order a Daisho. Thank God they were allowing customized weaponry creation, or I'd never have an extra weapon at my disposal," Kaigaku explains, swinging his smaller sword rapidly.

Sabito and Makomo walked out next, with two kinds of ranged weaponry on them. They both had two close-range sub-machine guns, and a futuristic-looking gun that utilized burning electric properties and Wisteria to fire big waves. They unfortunately couldn't modify it with a more powerful cooler, otherwise it would expand to the circuits, which would end up causing conflicts with the coursing electricity, and then cause superconductivity, forcing the gun to break beyond repair, so the overall cool-down time was ten minutes per shot.

Masachika then stepped out of the room, with new secondary dual-wield backhand weapons that are built for literally the closest ranges possible. He would juggle them, even though Yahaba, who followed up wearing double-impact gauntlets similar to Susamaru's, kept telling him to stop. "Dude, can you quit it? You're giving me anxiety..." Yahaba asks, visibly scared. "Come on, dude, I juggle knives back home."

Inosuke then leapt out of the room next, roaring like an insane beast. "HUWEHAHAHAHAHA! Lord Inosuke has arrived! Reborn and reforged, these swords will be the very ones to end Muzan Kibutsuji!" he yelled. He was equipped with new clothing and gear that helped him with hand-to-hand combat. Nothing that could allow him to kill demons, but it could definitely help with keeping demons at bay. They also got him a new boar head that looked exactly the same, since the one he always wears disintegrated into the water when they tried to wash it, as requested by Inosuke. They also crafted Inosuke some new swords since he broke his trying to train on the testing dummies.

Finally, Tanjiro and Isekai walked out. Tanjiro had gloves that help with finger comfortability for whenever he uses Shockwire, boots for Rocket Jump, and there were also pressure builders for his Air Pressure magic.

Air Pressure (Wind explosions are set off at the user's will. Pressure can be charged before wind release, which can boost mobility and force. Manifested into Tanjiro via connection with Ayato.)

Isekai walked out with two guns. One stuffed with nichirin bullets, the other stuffed with drugged bullets. He was also wearing a black and purple mask that helped him with breathing regulation, should his oxygen intake pattern ever be disrupted in battle. It was decorated with short tubes on the front, which had no purpose. He also had pads on his biceps that inject adrenaline into his body if he ever feels like he's about to collapse.

"We got everything, right?" Muichiro asks. Everyone nods, and starts trying to familiarizing themselves with their gear. Then, the fated day rolled around. The day of the war between demons and humans.
