episode 50 Demon hunter association

It's after school and all 3 of them are in the chemistry lab, "Yuji" is in there too drinking water.

Yuji: [sigh], man… it was so intense that I couldn't even focus in class up until now.

Keti: so, what was it that you saw? Just with one drop you puked out of nowhere.

Yuji: it's not from what I saw, it's just that the information I gained shouldn't have been shown to me.

Wreck: in detail, you know what is forbidden to a human being, this is not going to be easy for him to say anything since he won't speak about it.

Keti: we need the information, can you please or at least put it in details?

Yuji: I'm not sure where to begin…just with the first vision I see myself in the underworld, monsters feed on each other, beasts enormous and deadlier each bit, meteors falling all day long non-stop…it's like a no mans land except…no one were to last a minute in there.

Wreck: that sounds familiar… somewhere in the underworld lies a highest land there which no one dares to step foot in, "Purgatory" mountain, but that's not the place we're looking for, is there anything else you saw?

Yuji: yeah, there is…but you need to go to some organization that hunts demons, enter there then find someone by the name "Yarui". He or she might have answers.

Keti: great, another place to go through, "Wreck", do you know a place such as--?

"Wreck" gives a long face after hearing that they must go to the demon hunter association.

Keti: [worry]… is something wrong?

Wreck: so, we must go there, right? So, we're going right now, no need to wait another day.

Keti: do you even know where to find them? Why do you seem upset about it?

Wreck: I'm fine, we just need to find the 2 hunters we met last Saturday, they are likely to be searching for us too.

Fey: yay, we're going to find the hunters… do you know those hunters?

Wreck: the demon hunter association is a control party that take place in guarding the over world from the demons, in fact… they would probably hide the truth that demons are real and that they come here by any means to not frighten the whole city.

Keti: they're doing a great job, why are you not excited about this?

Wreck: let's just go, it's not like we have time to babble about it.

The 3 of them went walking around the city hoping to find the 2 hunters, they stopped by a crêpe shop for appetite.

Fey: so, "Wreck", quick question, do you have a nickname?

Wreck: fancy, but I'll answer it, as much as they nickname me many times, like "Wrecky", "Wrecker" or "Wreckster", I told them, if y'all gonna give me nicknames resembles to "Wreck" like that then how about I code myself as "Komi" to stop all these issues you're giving me.

Fey: ah, "Komito" it is.

Wreck: still fancy but I'll allow it.

Keti: not as fancy as you having nuggets instead of a burger.

Fey: [pout] no, "Keti" … you can't judge someone just because they love nuggets.

Keti: well, if you like nuggets so much then why don't you ask me to cook you one, because I can make better nuggets than you'd ever know.

Wreck: [excited] really? Please do, I would be dying to have one, [feel like being seen] huh?

Keti: is something wrong?

Wreck: … looks like we're meeting someone.

It was "Seth" who was trying to track "Wreck" for the last 4 days now meets up.

Seth: [surprised] hey, you're that deaf kid, I was trying to get you to the hospital, where did you run of to?

Wreck: I can here just fine, no need to concern yourself.

Seth: [surprised, confused] what? But how?

Keti: do you know him?

Wreck: we met like 4 days ago, long story short, remember when I said that I'm going to leave earth? I was launched here and landed in a dumpster in the haunted alley, that's when we met.

Seth: leave earth? Did you come from the underworld, disguised as a human or something?

Keti: can demons really do that?

Wreck: that's a simple disguise magic that demons use, but it kind of make sense that how much demons are enjoying their lives in the over world.

Seth: how will I know you're not a demon?

Wreck: that's because--.

Keti: [panic] that's because he is a skilled traveler who can go unseen through both dimensional worlds, he was on a treasure hunt.

Seth: treasure hunt? Was it a secret relic of the underworld?

Wreck: [un-impressed] … hell nuggets, I was trying to refresh myself with some nuggets, a little appetite should have filled the mood, but failed miserably.

Seth: … I'll provide you with some earthly nuggets.

Fey: wait, I thought we were meeting 2 hunters here, where is the other one?

Wreck: it's not him, last I remember, it's 2 girls working together.

Seth: you mean "Aika" and "Mirune"? that's weird, when did you guys meet?

Wreck: we just need to get to the demon hunter association as soon as possible, there is someone we should see.

Seth: how about we start with introductions first, hi, my name is "Seth".

Wreck: "Wreck Veganson".

Keti: "Keti Yamazaki".

Fey: "Fey Fujimori".

Seth: alright, first, you should know that you are not to talk about any of this to strangers not even your friends or family should know that this organization exists, in which case it has to be only for those who are awakened as hunters.

Keti: oh, that's funny, because I'm about to get my own awakening in less than a week [laugh].

"Wreck" was still not impressed, they followed "Seth" after eating their crêpes to an academy they are unfamiliar with.

Keti: is this the place? Looks normal to me, or maybe it's hidden underground.

Seth: don't get too excited, we haven't even entered yet.

They enter the academy and it's full of demon hunters, they all wear the same uniform but they don't seem to have their weapons on them.

Fey: [excited] that's amazing, do you all keep your weapons hidden somewhere? Or you all fight without tools?

Wreck: I believe they have something they call… a blaze gear.

Keti: a blaze gear?

Seth: I don't know how you know about all this, but yeah, blaze gears are tools that are made by the soul's will and pride, just by breathing we can manifest our own blaze gears to fight.

Keti: that sounds cool, just by using a blaze gear I could just protect myself just fine.

Wreck: a blaze gear has a flaw… the gear that you summon is part your soul itself, just by having your gear get smashed a lot of intense pain will mentally be receive because the soul and the gear are one and connected.

Keti: now you have broken the mood, and are you saying you don't have a blaze gear like they do?

"Wreck" pulls out his potential gear to show them, it is a revolver of 6 chambers.

Wreck: mine is way different than theirs, not that I'm challenging or anything.

Seth: so anyways, you said you want to come here to meet someone.

Keti: oh umm-yeah, we're looking for someone called "Yarui", if you know anything about this person.

Seth: you would like an audience with our captain?

Keti: your captain?!

Seth: yes, everyone can work however they want, either you follow someone who would become the captain, either you work in solo, duo, trio or even squads, I would take you to our classification room where you could test your own cores.

Fey: that sounds fun.

They follow "Seth" to the classification room.

Seth: "Wreck", you seem…unhappy about coming here, do you not trust us?

Wreck: …I'm fine, it's just that…I'm not very comfortable to how the rest of you do your work.

Keti: don't be an idiot, you consider hunting demons is a bad thing?

Wreck: no, they have the rights to guard the overworld from demons, I'm talking about what they have here.

Seth: here is where we can discover what rank you are when it comes to fighting a demon, if you rank up to A, B or C then you're good to go with fighting mid class demons, but if you rank D or lower, you'll be scrubbing toilets, even fighting lower demons… here just touch the sphere to start.

"Wreck" went touching the sphere and the information about his strength reads little, he got F on his ranking and "Seth" was surprised.

Seth: that's a bad luck, you just ranked F, it's not that I'm saying you'll be scrubbing toilets or anything.

Wreck: it's fine, it's not like I'm the biggest loser in the world.

They then moved on to the next room where they test their strength, a playground with white walls and floor, and the communication room on the other side where they can start the test.

Fey: this is my chance to see his strength.

Keti: [use mic] if you don't wanna do this we could just-.

Wreck: I don't have a problem with any of this, it's fine, even if I'm not comfortable in staying here.

"Seth" starts the test and an imp is being projected as an animated creature for training, it tried to attack "Wreck" however, he destroyed it in one kick.

Wreck: this projector system, can it also replicate a higher demon? Something like a basilisk or a giant scorpion.

Seth: [surprised] is he insane? As an F ranked, he's okay with fighting in that level?

Fey: [excited] do it, you're going to miss this.

Keti: sorry about that, but he knows what he's doing, I'm sure of it.

Seth: …fine, as requested…a higher demon scorpion.

As he summons the scorpion, "Wreck" Faught it with ease as he watched how he does it, every hunter watched in live and surprised thinking it's not possible for a child to even do it.
