Another Life (Tokito Muichiro X OC)

~7~

Toshiyo's POV
"Hey! Teaming up is cheating!" I say to the demon fully aware of the fact that it precisely doesn't care.

"So when demons team up, it's cheating, but when you kids team up, it's not?" The demon asked tauntingly. Maybe even mockingly. Who knows.

"Well, yes kind of. Demons and us 'kids' are on different power levels right?" I made sure to emphasize on the 'kids' part. "We're merely kids with no experience while you demons live hundreds and even thousands of years gaining a lot of experience. So I think it's quite fai-" I blocked the attack that came from behind. Damn, I shouldn't get carried away. Ugh fighting 3 demons at once is tough.

Talking isn't my best option right now. What I need to do is decapitate them all at once...! Let's see. Ahah!

Using my 5th Form, I move in a zigzag, really fast but slow enough for the demons to be able to just follow my movements, confusing them.

Then one by one, in three consecutive blows, I decapitate two off the demons. They were close by, in front of me so it was easier to decapitate them together.

"Huh?" Both demons say in unison as they feel their head no longer connected to the rest of their bodies.

"Hah! Eat dirt!" With that, I use my 5th Form again and go towards the third demon behind me, who was confused as to what just happened.

"Breath of Snow, 5th Form, Snow Dragon." Boom. Decapitated, with his body in three parts, "What-! Hey! How did you-!?"

"Do it so fast? It's a secret."
I wink and put a finger up to my lips.

"You're a Snow Breath user! The last time a Snow Breath user took this exam, my mother was killed! It was a boy tho-"

"Yeah, nobody cares." Cutting off a demon felt amazing. But anyways, I sheathed my katana and left from there not sparing her a second glance as she kept sprouting nonsense.

It seems it'll be morning soon. Demons won't come out then. That means I can rest a little...!

'I can finally rest after a while...!'

Just the thought of being asleep for a while was intriguing and definitely amazing! Gosh I wish morning comes quickly now!!

~(\\{^=^}//)~

"Ryuusuke?!" I search for my friend, having been separated from him for some time now. Gosh where has he disappeared to??

It's the 4th day of the test and I'm already separated from him...! He said we'd stick together and now he dares disappear from my sight! I'm gonna butcher him when I find him again.

Well, anyways I keep my legs moving and search for him. Demons aren't gonna wait for me to search for my friend, are they?

'Man, these demons are weak...! Compared to my master's training, this is nothing!'

I indeed, did go through a lot while training so the final selection is nothing for me.

"Oop-" Damn, that demon attack caught me off gaurd. No biggie though.

He comes in for another attack. Running with great speed, I'll give him that, no more than that though, "You're gonna be my third one today!" It says, licking its lips like his meal is already Infront of him. Tch...I hate how pathetic he sounds, "Yeah? Well, the previous one was your last. You ain't getting no more." I give a quick retrot before finishing off the demon using the 4th Form of Snow Breathing,

"Too bad, mate." Shrugging it off, I keep searching...

'Isn't that Ryuusuke? Yes it is!'

"Ryuusu-! Huh??" As I was about to call out to him, I see that he's on the ground, seemingly unconscious. Two other boys are with him. One is with him, gaurding him while the other is fighting a demon. Oh god, I hope he's alright.

Uff that one is a LARGE demon! Just how many kids did he eat?

I quickly run upto him, "Breath of Snow, 3rd Form, Piercing Snow." With speed enough to outrun a cheetah, I sprint towards the demon from the back and go for it's neck. But right before I can decapitate him, he suddenly disappears, "Ehh!? What the-"

So, he sensed me, huh?

Then out of nowhere, as soon as I come to a stop, he's infront of me again, with his claws raised for an attack! I narrowly dodged it. Then I figured, using my 2nd Form would be the best and quickest way right now, "Breath of Snow, 2nd Form, Snow Serpent's Coil!"

With my opponent stiff and not being able to move, I quickly go for his neck and this time, successfully decapitate him. Ehh, I've faced stronger demons anyways.

I shrugged it off. No big deal really.

"Eat dirt." Turning my attention to the three guys infront of me, I quickly rush to check Ryuusuke's condition. Gosh, it seems bad, "What the heck happened?"

One of the boys, specifically the one who was with Ryuusuke, speaks up, "I was having some trouble fighting this one demon who was extremely fast and this guy came to save me. After that, we encountered the demon you just killed and he managed to injure him pretty bad. So I was gaurding him while Haru was defending us." He said in one breath, still pretty shaken up.

I crouch down beside Ryuusuke, "It seems he hit his head pretty hard. Any signs he'll wake up soon?"
Both shook their head. Great...! What am I supposed to do now?? God. "Guess we four are stuck together, then." I said, having found no better option...
