《Curse of Muzan》Crisis Situation

Advertisement

Time continued to go by with me and everyone. UA continued to work with everyone becoming heroes while I continued to play my game as a hero in training by day and work as a Demon Slayer teacher by night. Today, we're taking a trip into the forest from what I was told by the staff. The area was changed last minute due to some dumbass villain group called the League of Villains. A group of humans wanting to destroy society. I did some background checking on them thanks to some networks I was able to get through Tengen and his wives. Apparently, he couldn't get much on them except they were starting to be a big thing after the Hosu city incident. I still wanna sock that dumbass Iida for almost blowing my cover for having to use Total Concentration to take on Stain bare handed. Was surprised Stain knew what I was and took disgust saying that those that protect the night are helping false heroes. Fortunately, Iida never pushed or found out for me to be able to keep my cover.

"Hey. Midoriya. You want something to snack on, bro?" I glanced over to Kirishima holding out a bag of chips.

"I'm good." I paid attention to a book I was given by Aizawa. From what the class believed, I was simply someone that liked books and Aizawa was someone that helped my fix when he finds one he liked. However, this was a ruse for him to give me information that I needed to know from Nezu without constantly calling me to the office. Not saying I wouldn't care, but several office calls will raise a red flag. I found a note on the side giving page numbers. Reading through them, I began seeing what was said.

"Forest. Pussycats. Demons present. Villains found information. Signs of Muzan."

'Oh, now that's something worthwhile.' I kept reading before something came up. 'Copy of me? Picture of suspects.' I saw another page numbef to keep going and find a picture. What I saw shocked me. 'No...it can't be.' The bus stopped for me to look up and see everyone start getting off of it.

Once I did, everyone started looking around for us to be in the middle of nowhere. I didn't bother that much for them to find out about what's happening and tried to think of what was happening before two pro heroes that looked like they had some kind of cat fetish with one having reddish brown hair and another with blond. They started talking about what was going on with them being the pro heroes helping them train this week. "Midoriya. A word, please." I went to Aizawa for the pro heroes to say they needed to get to the camp before the blond one tossed them off the cliff with an earth quirk. The only people not thrown off was myself, Uraraka and Yaoyorozu. We waited a few minutes before Aizawa spoke up. "Alright. We can talk freely now."

"Good. Because I genuinely want to ask. Why does every female pro hero look like they work in the sex industry!?" I shouted out a little for everyone to have Mandalay and Pixiebob look at me in shock of my blunt comment.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Pixiebob went right towards me to grab my shirt collar. "TAKE THAT BACK, ASSHOLE! I HAVE NEVER WORKED AS A HOOKER AND NEVER HAVE PLANS TO!" I stared at her blankly before looking at Aizawa.

"So is it something part of the pro hero criteria that women are supposed to be sexy?"

"WHAT ABOUT MY APOLOGY!?"

I glanced towards the girl and asked a serious question. "Take a long hard look at yourself and ask yourself if you do or do not look like a hooker or someone that you'd call to give a man a muscular soldier."

"...Getting off the topic. Let's start off with a run down of what you've encountered here, Mandalay." Aizawa mentioned this for Mandalay to speak up.

"Ok. So we have found in our forest severed body parts of humans. We've already reported this to the police with abnormal sounds and what looks like light coming from the forest at night. We were uncertain what this was to investigate before finding a girl looking around a year or two younger than you all. In a way to avoid any uncertainty, we decided to get a picture of her before a male came that looked like he could be a first year in high school. Judging by the fact they had similar facial features and hair color, we're going under the assumption that they might be related. We did however find them attacking a woman and cannibalizing her while emphasizing they were far stronger than any normal human being."

"Any chance it's a quirk?" Mandalay shook her head no as an answer.

"The girl could manipulate ice from what we could tell as well as the boy could use some kind of black fire. If this was the case, we'd be facing some kind of hybrid quirk user with the aspect not making any sense whatsoever."

"The fact that they only come out at night and the previous night we tried to confront them solidifying our belief that they're demons." Pixiebob added in for me to ask about the confrontation.

"What happened when you confronted them?"

"Tiger, Mandalay, Ragdoll and I were fighting the girl, however, she was able to overpower us so easily that it was scary. She snapped Ragdoll's arm like it was a twig before hitting Tiger so hard he was knocked out by one punch to the gut. To be honest, I was afraid we were going to die before the sun started coming up for them to panic and run. If we confronted them anytime before sunrise, there's no doubt in my mind we wouldn't be here." Uraraka and Yaoyorozu shivered a bit at this as I kept thinking.

"Did you see anything strange on them? Maybe a number on their eyeballs?"

"Uhh...Yeah, actually. They both had one that said Lower One on it. Not sure what that means though."

"It means, you literally saved yourself with that sunrise. If you faced them during the middle of the night, those two demons could've killed you all without any chance of survival. You were facing one of the Twelve Kizuki. The strongest demons to ever walked this earth, the fact that you survived a nothing more than a miracle,"

"So something like that is in this forest. Should we consider moving the camp?" Aizawa asked me to think of our options.

'Considering Uraraka's blood will attract demons and this is one of the most powerful Lower Rank, I should be able to kill them without problem. But why are there two with the Lower One rank? Are they some kind of balanced power or something stronger?' I thought for a moment before giving my verdict. "I'll hunt the grounds at night. During this, nobody is allowed out of the camp under any circumstances. If they do, I can't guarantee their safety."

"Understood. I'll make sure everyone has a curfew before sundown to get inside." I nodded before going to the bus. Before I did though, I glanced over at the boy looking down at the side of the cliff most of the class went over.

'Something's up with him.' I used my Blood Demon Art to see two people trying to hug him muttering 'it's ok'. 'Poor kid. He must've seen some hell.' I went in the bus and sat down while continuing to look at the picture of the demons. 'This can't be. You can't be them.'

After everyone went to sleep, I began doing my rounds around the forest. Before I went out, I ran into a green haired woman with the same outfit as the two pros this morning. "Ragdoll, I presume."

"That's right. I heard you're a Hashira. Sorry we had to drag you out here, kitten." She laughed a bit before holding her forearm in pain.

"I'm gonna find these demons, don't worry about that much. Once I find them, consider their heads rolled." I walked out with Ragdoll speaking up to ask a question.

"I heard Demon Slayers join the order because they have nothing of value in life anymore. Is that the same with you?"

I turned around and glanced at her before walking away. "I do this more as a form of self punishment. Nothing more, nothing less." 'My decision to follow this path. My decision to damn myself. That's all it is.' I held the chain with Ms. Kanae's butterfly hand grip to take a deep breath. 'Time to go to work.'

Izuku walked through the forest looking around and setting up a vial. "Of course I have to use fucking demon bait. Fortunately, I can use some of Shinobu's knowledge to make a type of demon incense. Just add a little of Uraraka's blood, a bit of human saliva, and a few more medicinal herbs that act as an enhancer. This should now bring out whatever is in the woods. And maybe I can snuff out the Lower Rank." Izuku continued to look around and spray on a few trees and bushes. Once done, he calmed his mind before adjusting his eyes. "Blood Demon Art: Eyes of the Beyond."

He looked around with some question of what's present. "I'm sensing at least twenty. There's no way this can be serious." Looking at the souls around, he found them going towards a specific direction. "They're going somewhere, but where?" He kept looking until he realized the spot. "Oh shit." Izuku ran as fast as he could back to camp. "They know something and they're going towards the camp. This isn't good!"

As he ran away, two figures watched him from a distance. One being a woman with green hair and extremely pale skin dangling by her legs on a branch, and the other being a tall bulky man leaning on the trunk of the tree the other was dangling on. "That's him, right brother? Mr. Demon Hashira, right?"

"Yeah. Master Muzan said he wants him. Something about his blood being special." The woman began swinging before flipping in the air and landing perfectly to show her wearing burned rags on herself.

"So honest question. Did master Muzan say he had to be alive and in one piece?"

"Not exactly. Why do you ask?" The man pulled himself away from the side to show himself in similar burned attire.

"Well, call it my own personal desire but....

The brother smiled at his sister's idea before cracking his knuckles. "Then I guess it's time for a party. I'm sure master Muzan would understand if we lose a couple dozen demons in order to get this guy. It was his top priority to kill this demon after all. And those stupid pro heroes fell for our little plan. Hook. Line. and sinker."

Ochako and Momo began waking up to glance around the room. Everyone was asleep. They went towards the door to open it and see their teacher down the hall. "What are you two doing up?"

They shut the door and went up to Aizawa. "Sorry. We're just so used to getting up in the middle of the night, we just can't sleep." Ochako glanced towards the boys' room to notice Izuku wasn't there. "Where's Midoriya?"

"Out. He's looking for the two demons in hopes to avoid unnecessary dangers. He did want me to pass these to you both." Aizawa tossed two swords to Momo and Ochako to open them and see they were their practice swords they've used in their training. "I still don't get how Nichirine swords succeed in their job. But if it works, it works."

The three walked into the Pussycats' main office to see the four sitting in their desks doing some work. To the side, they noticed class B's teacher Vlad King going over some things as well. "What are they doing up?" Mandalay asked for Aizawa to explain.

"Uraraka and Yaoyorozu normally do their training with Midoriya during the evening. They're so used to this routine that their bodies became adjusted to the lack of sleep they'd have."

"Interesting. So how skilled are they compared to Midoriya?" Vlad asked for Aizawa and the group to begin talking with something catching Ochako's ear. She looked to the side and remembered something Izuku said about her hearing.

'Focus on the sound and isolate it.' As she did this, a sound she knew all too well came to her ears to go pale. "SOMETHING'S COMING!"

"What are you talking abo-" Before Vlad could ask, a hand came out of the wall he was by to grab him by the neck. "GAH! WHAT THE!" He used hi quirk to stop whatever it was for it to not work and have the hand hold him tighter. "CAN'T...BREATHE!"

"STAY STILL!" Momo pulled out her blade to slice the arm off.

"AAAHHH!! DAMNED BASTARDS!" Vlad pulled away from the wall and gasped for air.

"*GASP*! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?"

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK BY DEMONS!" Ochako shouted for another demon to come through the window looking like a giant sumo wrestler with its skin completely gray.

It looked at Ochako and smiled at her. "Marechi blood. I can smell you. With you, I can become a member of the 12 Kizuki." It went for Ochako with Aizawa grabbing the demon with his binding cloth.

"URARAKA! GET BACK! HE'S AFTER YOU!" Several other demons began coming at them. Ochako pulled her sword out and began breathing as best she could.

"Total Concentration." She went right towards the demon Aizawa was holding to go for it's neck. "Wind Breathing: Sixth Form. Black Wind Mountain Mist!" She slashed the demon's neck off for it to turn to dust from it. "HOLY CRAP! I JUST KILLED A DEMON!" Ochako was so in shock that she wasn't able to hear the four others enter into the room to force her, Momo and the teachers to pull away and head deeper into the building. Mandalay had pulled away to open her nephew's door to pull the sleeping boy with her and keep him safe.

"AAAAHHHH!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" The group ran towards the sound of the shout to see a class B student Monoma about to be killed by a demon.

Momo noticing this, tries to attack as best she could with her Nichirine sword. Thanks to her own physical strength, the dark haired girl was able to slice off the demon's head with brute strength alone.Once free, Monoma ran over to his class with another demon coming into the room. "GET OUT OF HERE! EVERYONE! THIS IS BEYOND YOUR HANDLING!"

"WHAT ARE THESE THINGS!?" A girl from class B Kendo ran with her class for a demon to show up behind them for Vlad to keep it restrained with his quirk before Ochako came over to slice it down on the demon's neck.

"These are demons. Actual demons." Aizawa answered this bluntly for class A to regroup hearing the noise and run to herd together and avoid anyone being pulled away. "Uraraka. Yaoyorozu. How good are you with fighting demons?"

"Not as good as we need." Momo mentions before attacking and slicing off a demon's arm as it was about to take a student.

"Ragdoll. How many demons are we facing?"

"Fourty...no. Fifty....EASILY SIXTY!"

"EVERYONE! I'M OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZING YOU ALL TO USE YOUR QUIRKS! USE THEM TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND WAIT FOR MIDORIYA!"

"GO TO HELL!" Bakugou immediately heard this to blast a demon before it grabbed his neck and showed a partially burned off face smile at him. "Fuck!"

"First Love!" Momo was able to stop this with slicing the demon's neck using Love Breathing, getting Bakugou free. "Subdue the demons! You won't be able to kill them unless you have a Nichirine sword!"

"THEN GIVE ME A FUCKING SWORD!"

"WE ONLY HAVE TWO! MOMO AND ME ARE THE ONLY ONES HERE THAT KNOW HOW TO USE IT BETTER!" Ochako replied while avoiding a slash by a demon and slicing it's arms off before it's head. "Right now, our only bet is to hold out until Midoriya gets here."

And that finishes this chapter. See what happens next time with everyone with the class trying to survive. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
