Kimetsu no Yaiba : Apocalypse of the Dead

The Imperial High [ Chapter 1 ]

This is another wonderful morning in Tokyo. Warm and pleasant. Monday, busy as usual, office workers going to their workplaces, children going to school, and there is a hustle-and-bustle on streets. Tokyo was, but for one thing, popular. High schools. Students from countryside came to the city, and joined the high schools here. Of course, they were good, but there was this one school, famous and a topic of chats between boys and girls of other schools. 

'The Imperial High...'

It is a dream of every Tokyo student to study here, even just for a day. World-class facilities, highly educated faculties, and state-of-the-art extra-curricular clubs, with their exciting club activities. What more does student desire for ? But when someone said the word, The Imperial High, it wasn't the school features that came to the mind of the common folk, but came prodigious and brilliant kids. Just geniuses. 

Every student was good in something. Doesn't matter you are not good in studies, just show us what you got. Turns out, the school focuses on nurturing and refining the talents of the kids, rather than discouraging them by labelling as failures, or forcing them with studies. Pretty Utopian, right ? Well, that's what everyone says, but the school does exist. And as a result of constant motivation from their teachers, the students, too, try to do their best as they feel obliged to do so, since their teachers are working so hard for them. And hence, the success rate of the kids in competitions, tournaments,  and their lives, as well, is very high.

This is all thanks to the legacy of Kiriya Ubyashiki, the former Principal of the school, and the founder of the institution. Even though he has retired now, and lives as the oldest man in Japan, his teachings are still life taught in the school. His grandson, now is the principal of the school.

Let's talk about the school. The school is spread in 205,000 sq. metres. Swimming pool, twice the size of an Olympic one. Horse riding club, Kendo club, Baseball club, Basketball club, Literary club, Music club; literally any leisure activity, they had a club. 69 clubs to be precise. They even had a Gaming club, and guess what ? This club had most number of members. Teachers were good as well. The school had a dormitory. And a very surprising fact is related to this. The school had most number of orphan and homeless children in Tokyo. The timings were simple. The school starts at 9 a.m., 5 periods of 50 minutes each till 2 p.m., and then 2 to 5 p.m. were free for club activities. Every subject had its own building. And every club, too. Since the school was so big, students had to use bicycles to go from one department to anther, and there was a 10-minute break between each period.

So, back to our Monday morning, it was time for the assembly, and all students were gathering in the Auditorium building. A boy named Inosuke, his hair tips in blue , was running towards a couple of students, one of them is redhead, yelling at them.

Inosuke : HEYYY, MONJIROOOO!!!!!!!! MENUKOOO!!!!!

Monjiro ? Menuko ? Well, the people he was referring to were Kamado Tanjiro, and his younger sister, Kamado Nezuko.

Turns out, Inosuke had problems calling peoples' name. He was the captain of the baseball team, and was fantastic at it. He was chaotic, and loved being a center of attention. He lived in the dormitory, as he was a orphan. He called his teammates 'minions', which they didn't liked, but he had leadership qualities, so they didn't mind that much. He had green eyes. And nice chocolate abs, which he liked to show-off whenever they won a match.
