(Rui's Pov)
The first six swings separated his six legs from his body, while the last one chopped his head off.
"That was fucking cool but why do I feel dizzy," I said while landing on the ground. Everything around me became blurry. I wasn't able to stand straight.
Taking support from one of the sidewalls I walked and sat beside the old man. His body looked completely pale now. I was hoping that he would be alive but from the looks of it, he was dead for sure.
"Haah, what is happening to me? Who are these monsters? What is this katana? I can't believe someone died in front of me," I mumbled while gripping my head with both of my hands.
Nothing was making sense to me right now. I was hoping that all of this was a dream but it felt too real to be a dream. I wanted to go back home and sleep.
'I guess I'll do that later,' I thought and closed my eyes. Fatigue took over me and I passed out.

"Wow, that was a nice fight. Don't you think so as well Reina Chan," said the tall man with a beard to the girl beside him.
The guy was muscular and tall with a lean body. He had a big beard accompanied by short black hair. He was wearing a white shirt with black jeans which looked really rugged.
Whereas the girl named Reina had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a white skirt with a blue shirt.
"Diego san, he isn't the person we are looking for. And the one we were looking for is dead. What should we do now?" asked Reina to the man.
"Yea, I know but we need to take the boy back to Raijin High. If we leave him alone yokais will kill him," Diego replied back to Reina while lighting up a cigarette.
"We can't take him back with this, he isn't an exorcist. Why don't we kill him and take back Kusanagi? It will be a waste to leave it with him,". Reina suggested.
"Nah we can't do that. Kusanagi has chosen that boy. If we kill him then there is no guarantee that Kusanagi will come with us,"
"Fine, let's take him," Reina said while sighing. She didn't want to take Rui with them. There were too many unwanted variables involved in taking him back.
The biggest one being that someone might follow them and sneak into the Raijin High. According to her, killing Rui and taking back Kusanagi is the best course of action.
But since her superior has told her to not do anything like that, she can't kill him.
"Now come with me, we need to clear this mess," said Diego to Reina while jumping off the building from which they were viewing the fight.
Reina followed after him and jumped off the building. Now they both were standing in front of Rui. Diego waved his hand and Rui started floating in the air.
After that Diego took out a piece of paper with weird symbols printed on it and threw it at the monster, the dead monster seeped into the ground and disappeared.
"We should take Jozu's body with us as well, or else the headmaster will nag us" suggested Reina while pointing at the old man's body.
"Ok, sure," said Diego while shrugging his shoulders. He flicked his finger again and just like Rui, the old man started floating in the air.
Taking Rui and the old man, both Diego and Reina too started floating into the air and started flying at great speed leaving no clue of what happened behind.

"Hmm, where am I?" I said while rubbing my eyes. I remember fighting a frog-like monster and then I started to feel dizzy. I don't remember anything after that.
And now when I woke up, I found myself in a room which I have never seen before. The room looked quite simple. Painted in white colour, it has a desk and a bunk bed on which I was currently sitting.
Other than this, there was a window with a flower pot kept on it. Sun rays were entering the room from the window and a cold breeze made the flowers flutter.
I don't know why but I felt extremely peaceful here. But this didn't answer the question about my whereabouts. Putting on the slippers kept beside the bed, I made my way out of the room.
In the hallway, there were many rooms like the one I was in.
'This place looks like a dorm,' I thought while looking around the hallway. There was no one except me in the whole hallway. It looked kinda spooky now.
I thought of going out of this place but before I could I heard a noise coming from the room I was in. So I made my way back to my room.
When I opened the door, a tall man with broad shoulders was standing in front of the window.
"How did you get here and who are you?" I asked while pointing my finger at him.
"I am Diego, Kuroshio Diego. Nice to meet you kid," he said while turning around and looking into my eyes.
'He looks strong but why is he dressed like a beggar? Even I don't have such bad clothes,' I thought while observing him.
"So Diego san, could you please tell me where I am?" I asked him with pleading eyes. I didn't want to be stuck here for all my life even though this place is peaceful.
"I know you are confused. There must be a thousand questions going through your mind right now. Come with me, I'll tell you about this place," he replied while jumping out of the window.
"What?" I shouted and followed behind him. Obviously not through the window but from the stairs.
"You should have taken the window, you know," Diego san replied to me while taking a puff from his cigarette.
"Thanks for the advice, but I don't wanna break my legs, and jumping from the window is too much of a hassle," I replied back in a lazy tone.
