A day after your mission, you got another message from your crow saying that there's a demon in an open field area in the West. The place was known for being used for farming because of the open space.

The fields were vast and wide, the wind blowing the grass and grains. The breeze was cool and soft, but still strong enough to make your haori blow behind you like a cape. You gazed upon several people tending to the farming fields as the sun peaks in the sky.

The day got hotter as you continued the path to the village situated near the fields. Within the village was small and unsurprisingly filled with farmers doing farmer things. Until one such person caught your eye, they were a demon slayer just like you, he stared off into the clouds. With long hair that stood out to you in particular.

"YOU!" your yelling got the attention of the boy, which his blank-faced mood turned annoyed "son of a bitch!"

"We need to stop meeting like this" Muichiro walked away in dismay

"Oi! Don't just walk away from me" you gave him the pointer. The villager who was talking with Muichiro seemed to have caught on what was happening.

"Oh I see so you 2 know each other"

"Oh course dumbass!" both you and Muichiro said in unison, the villager stopped talking and walked away.

"Alright, so stay the hell out of my way! And we won't have any issues"

"Trust me I won't be in your way, it will be up to your stupidity whether or not I'll run into you"

"Why you..." you approached Muichiro "I can assure you that I'm not an idiot. Your repulsiveness would already keep me away from you" Muichiro scoffed "I wonder if you'll be able to remember that? Because your lightheadedness makes you ineffective and useless" your words cut deep, but that wasn't what Muichiro was focusing on.

'Where have I heard those words before? They sound so familiar' Muichiro didn't even realize that you have already left him.

'Idiot Muichiro...' you kept sulking through the village, the wind was really picking up the pace, your hair getting in your face because of the strong winds. You soon found yourself barely able to stand properly. 'What the-'

Soon the wind blew you off your feet and slammed you into a tree. You gasped in pain, you looked at the wind, it was swirling in a violent manner, the swirl then blew towards you at supersonic speeds, you could barely dodge before it absolutely decimated the tree behind you.

You caught sight of the demon, who was standing in the sun completely safe from the light. It was using the winds to create a shield from the sun. Drawing your sword and holding it tight so the wind doesn't blow it out of your hands.

"Impressive..." the voice sounded like it was coming from the wind, all around you "you dodged my wind. No fighter has ever accomplished such a feat... no matter, you will perish via my divine sandstorm" the demon's forearms began spinning in a rapid pace, the right arm spun left and the left arm spun right, creating a gigantic wind storm.

You knew it was dangerous to stay in one place so you jumped far out of the way. The wind barely scraped past you, but your ankle got caught in the storm which promptly tore it to shreds. The foot was still somewhat intact, except the wind caused dust to cut and pierce through several parts of the skin. You let out a painful scream.

"Your screams indicate that I have hit my target" the demon towered over you, the wind blowing stronger and stronger. Except you smirked, using your other foot to push yourself behind the demon to surprise him.
