Mission

I passed the exam. Though, I had to see the brutal happenings during the event, I have to forget about them so I won't get traumatized. I am the kind of kid that gets easily traumatized even if there's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm back at the meeting place but saw few people had survived. Poor participants, I even felt bad for Haiyu to fail. Then the two twins showed up once again.

"Welcome back." Said the twin with black hair.

"Congratulations. Being safe and sound is better than anything else." Said the twin with white hair.

A/N: Normal text will be the white hair twin while the bold text will be the black hair twin.

"You must first pay the cost of the uniform. Then you must get your body measured and have your rank engraved."

"There are ten ranks in total; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. You are now at the lowest 10th level."

"Today, you will each choose a chunk of Tamahagane alloy. Your blade will be completed within 10 to 15 days.

"Also, from now on, Kasugaigarasu will be following you all. Kasugaigarasu is a crow that is primarily used for communication."

"Now, go over there and choose the alloy that will be used to create your blade. The alloy for the blade will be used to destroy demons and protect yourself will be chosen personally by each of you."

After I chose my alloy I directly went back to Yasashi-sensei. I felt exhausted but I managed to get back. I saw Yasashi-sensei talking to his crow.

"Yasashi-sensei! I came back!" I yelled. He turned around and ran to me. He hugged me tightly as I hugged him back. He pulled away and carried me.

"I'm glad you came back, Tsuyoi. I'm so proud of you." He said as we enter his house.

He patched my bruises with bandages as well as my scarred left eye. I received multiple injuries mostly by Kague and Yurudo. He also gave me medicine which tasted very nasty but I got to drink it in order to heal.

We were silent in the next few minutes as I decided to come up with a topic.

"Yasashi-sensei." I said. He turned to me and hummed. Signalling me to go on.

"I got these injuries mostly by two demons, which they knew you had captured them. Do you remembered the demon's named Kague and Yurudo?" I said. He looked at me seriously.

"To be honest, I have captured plenty of demons each year since I'm at rank Kinoto. I didn't know any demon named by Kague and Yurudo since I'm not interested in hearing their names anyway. I tried to ask but they're too afraid. I'm sorry I didn't know about them." He said.

"Well, do you remember a demon who wears a Soryu uniform who fights with fists and a demon who wears a flowery kimono who fights with poison and nails? Both males as well." I asked.

"Hm, I do remember them. That Soryu demon was actually very risky to capture but it was so weak and it dashed pretty fast trying to escape. The poison demon wasn't that great either and his poison wasn't poisonous as well so it was easy for me to capture him." He said and handed me water.

"They said that they've devoured more than fifty participants. So I guess that made them stronger?" I said. He nodded.

"You can easily determine how many humans they've devoured by their power and strength." He said.

Days later, I received both my demon hunter uniform and my nichirin blades. As expected, I got yellow swords. Also, I requested to make two swords since I've already mastered dual wielding. But in case that I'll be needing my other hand, Yasashi-sensei gave me two sheaths strips so that I can properly store the other and wore them on my back. There is a buckle in front so that it won't fall off while carrying them. My haori seem to be uncomfortable while wearing them because of my sheaths so I only wore it on my waist.
