Chapter 4: Aokigahara Incident
"It has been 2 months since I've joined the organisation"
"I have trained a lot and improved my fighting skills"
"But it's still not enough"
"Not for Mirazawa San"
"She is too strong"
"Even if I use divine energy, I can't defeat her"
"Damn"
"I can't believe it"
"I have to become stronger to defeat her"
"You are still far from where you should be"
"I have some work"
"Do thousand pushups before I return"
"But"
"No buts"
"Do as I say"
"Yes, Maam"
"Hmm"
"Well, might as well start"
"1,2,3,4,5"
"You okay" Kazuma from behind asked
"Yeah I forgot to mention that he was also sent to train under Mirazawa last month but I haven't seen him doing such relentless trainings. Maybe she has obsession just with me."
"Yeah, I'm fine"
"Where are you going?"
"To the bathroom"
"Ok"
"You better start"
"Yes ma'am"
"Hmm"
"I will come in a moment"
"Ok"
After 20 pushups Tatsuya was unable to even move.
"Ugh"
"Why did I even agree to this"
"This is ridiculous"
"I can't keep doing this"
"I have no choice"
"Maybe I should rest for a bit"
"Yooo"
"Who is it"
"Ohh!! Risa San"
Risa San was an A class but retired and is now an investigator. She often visits third branch. Risa is not as strong as Tatsuya neither as fast as Yuki but her reflexes are insane and scouting skills are next level.
"What brought you here"
"An investigation"
"That might be related to an S class demon"
"What? Where?"
"Aokigahara Forest"
"Really"
"Not so sure but many missing reports have been filed in that area and when two policemen went in to investigate ....."
"They went missing ?"
"Yes"
"Then another group including two B class and one A class went to rescue the missing people"
"All of their bodies where found on the highway"
"This can't be the doing of a weak-ass demon"
"Even if we think that the demon might be A class but to defeat an A class with two B class is not possible for an A class demon"
"And you're discussing this matter with Ren?"
"Yes"
"He was also investigating the incident"
"I see"
"Well, I will get going"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Tatsuya went back and continued his training.
"Hey, what are you doing" Shizuka asks Tatsuya
"I'm trying to finish my 1000 pushups"
"You can't be serious"
"Yeah"
"But I can't move my arms anymore"
"Just take a break"
"No, I have to continue"
"You don't have to force yourself"
"I can't"
"She will punish me"
"What"
"Who?"
"Mirazawa"
"Oh"
"So, she forced you to do 1000 pushups?"
"Yes"
"What"
"Why?"
"Because I can't defeat her"
"That's all she cares about"
"That's why I have to become stronger"
"I see"
"I can't blame her"
"She is the one who is going to be punished if you fail"
"Exactly"
"Damn"
"You should not have to push yourself this much"
"I can't do that"
"This is all I can do"
"Hmm"
"Well, good luck then"
"Yeah"
"Thanks"
"Hmm"
Then he notices that Mirazawa is standing beside him listening the whole conversation.
"Hey"
"What were you talking about me?"
"Nothing mam!!"
"Well I have a mission for you"
"Yes,ma'am"
"Do you know about the Aokigahara forest incident"
"Yes"
"The mission is regarding that incident"
"Get ready and report to me in my office"
"Yes,ma'am"
"Oh"
"I'm coming too" Kazuma said
"Huh"
"But why"
"Because I'm bored"
"This is just a practice mission for the new recruitments you are already experienced so I don't feel the necessity of bringing you to the mission" Mirazawa said
"Hmm"
"Ok, then have fun"
"We will"
"So, what are we waiting for let's go"
"Yeah"
"Let's go"
"Where is the forest located?"
"The northern part of Yamanashi"
"I see"
"That's a 2-3 hours drive"
"It will be tiring"
"Well, might as well get started"
"Yeah"
"Let's go"
After 10 minutes Tatsuya enters Mirazawa's office.
"Jun san , Ito san and ,"
"Shizukaaa!!"
"Are you going to the mission too?"
"Yes"
"But it's too dangerous"
"Being in the organisation means to save people for that you need to be strong that's why I want to bring her to this mission"
"But Mirazawa sensei"
"Let's start the briefing"
"As you may know many people went missing in the Aokigahara forest and later a team of 3 hunters was sent to the forest to look for them"
"They also went missing after entering the forest"
"Later their bodies were found on the highway"
"This is the reason that the organisation is also investigating the matter"
"But I have heard that the hunters killed were of A class and B class,"
"Which means they were strong, really strong"
"Then why does the organisation wants to send us newbies" Ito said
"It's a false news the team consisted of only three D class,"
"The organisation spread a fake news in order to scare the other lower class hunters from entering the area without permission"
"We are going to investigate the matter and eliminate the threat if possible"
"Hmm"
"Understood"
"I understand"
"So, any questions"
"No,mam"
"Let's go"
"Wait"
"Here are your uniforms"
"What?"
"Shizuka and Tatsuya are going to wear this"
"Huh?"
"Why"
"Because"
"The organisation has decided to officially accept you both into the organization"
"You are now full members of the organisation"
"Welcome"
"Thanks"
"Yeah"
"So, get changed and let's get started"
"Yes"
"Yes ma'am"
The five of them head to the forest.
In the car
"Jun and Ito san did you two know each other from before?"
"Of course we are siblings" Ito said
"What you two are siblings!!"
"I thought you two were dating"
"No you dumb ass"
"Also why did you two join the organisation"
"Long story short,"
"in a demon attack in which our whole orphanage was swiped off we somehow manage to escape alive but we still feel bad for leaving everyone behind just to be killed by the demon,"
"So in order to be pay for our sins we've decided to join the organisation and save people"
"Is that so"
"You all done" Mirazawa said
"We are going to reach our destination"
After they reach the destination.
"Wow, this is a big forest"
"Yeah"
"Hmm"
They enter the forest
"So, where do we go?"
"Let's split up and investigate"
"Yes, ma'am"
"Yes"
"Yeah"
"Be careful"
"Yes"
"Yeah"
"Let's go"
"Ok"
Shizuka , Tatsuya and Mirazawa went to the east while Ito and Jun went to the opposite direction.
"So, are you guys ready?"
"Yes"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
"Yeah"
"I've heard about the incident" Shizuka said
"What did you hear?"
"I've heard that a mysterious creature has appeared and it has been kidnapping people"
"Hmm"
"This must be the culprit"
"Hmm"
"Let's go"
"Hmm"
"We have to save the victims"
"Yeah"
"Come on"
"Yes"
"Let's go"
"Ok"

"It's time to execute the plan ,isn't it" Kami said

After walking for 15 minutes, they saw a strange figure.
"Hey, what is that?"
"I don't know"
"Maybe it's the culprit"
"Let's check it"
Suddenly an big eye pattern on the ground started glowing.
"Huh?"
"What is it?"
"What's going on"
"I don't know"
"Look"
"Something's happening"
Tatsuya is teleported and is sent to a different place.
"What"
"Tatsuya!"
"Where is he?"
Ito and Jun quickly come to check the noise from there as they were not far.
"What happened" Jun said
"Tatsuya just disappeared"
"What?"
"I'm not sure, but he just disappeared"
"Hmm"
Suddenly the figure dissected both of Ito and Jun's head.
"Huh?"
"Ito,Jun!?"
"What happened?"
"Did they die?"
"Yes and you will too" Mirazawa says from behind.
Mirazawa stabs Shizuka in her back.
"Ahhhh!"
"Why"
"Why did you"
Shizuka falls on the ground while blood is pouring out of her body like water.
"Good job, Uhh what was your name again"
"Oh yeah Ghost demon"
"Tell Kami that the first phase is done"
Then Mirazawa walks away while Ghost demon is watching her. When Ghost demon turns back to see Shizuka's body he sees a man standing near her body
"I knew there was something wrong when Mirazawa went to a mission without telling me"
"So she finally betrayed the organisation"
1 hour ago
"Hey Kazuma, where is everyone?"
"They went for a practice mission"
"What!? Where?"
"I heard them say Aokigahara forest"
"What!!"
"Why? Is there something wrong"
"No, nothing"
"Ok then"
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Anything for you boss"
"Go to the Main office and inform that,"
"Mirazawa has betrayed us"
"What!!"
"Make it quick"
"Ah ok"
"Be careful"
"Thanks"
"No problem"
Present POV
"You are Ren right?"
"One of the strongest of the organisation"
"Nope"
"What?"
"Not one of the strongest but the strongest"
"Lets see"
"Show me your power"
"OK!!"
