Whack! Slam!
A body hits the ground with a loud thud.
"Why the hell are you considered a curse hunter? You're a weak ass nobody." The arrogant blond-haired curse hunter says with a snarl.
He steps on the head of a black-haired, blindfold wearing curse hunter, however they do not react to the impact.
"Heh, You're one tough nut to crack aren't ya? It looks like I'll just have to take it up a notch…"
The blond-haired curse hunter takes out a switchblade from his left pants pocket.
Suddenly, he tries to stab the black-haired curse hunter, however they grab the blond curse hunter's hand.
"Tch, just what do you think you're doing?" The blond curse hunter said with irritation in his voice.
That's when the black-haired curse hunter finally spoke up…
"You're wastin' your time."
The Blond curse hunter jerks his hand away and he kicks the black-haired curse hunter in the ribs. "I'll show you wasting time!!!"
As soon as he was about to swing his exorcism blade at the black-haired curse hunter, another curse hunter parried it with her own weapon.
"Hey! That's enough! You can't beat on Kazu-San like that." the parrying curse hunter exclaimed.
The blond curse hunter scoffed.
"You really think I care about him? Just look at him, he's a freak!" The blond curse hunter said with malice.
The parrying curse hunter, who is a young female with long blonde flowing hair, scowled at the other blond curse hunter.
"The only freak I see is the one who beats on his colleague. Why did you even attack him in the first place, Aoto-Kun!?" She said with a bit of anger.
That's when the black-haired curse hunter, who is none other than Kazu, slowly stands up.
"Don't worry about me Aiko-Chan, I'm A-okay!" He said with a bit of a strain in his voice.
The female curse hunter, known as "Aiko," softens her gaze at Kazu for a few seconds before glaring at the blond curse hunter, known as "Aoto."
"This weirdo was caught staring at the other women in the committee. They said it was making them uncomfortable," Aoto said, staring at Kazu like he wanted to beat him all over again.
Aiko groans and face palms, "How can that be possible… if Kazu has a blindfold over his eyes?"
Kazu adjusts his blindfold and looks in Aoto's direction.
Aoto rolls his eyes and crosses his arms, "I don't know, how do you think he fights curses or summons with the thing on? Don't you find that suspicious…?"
Kazu sighs.
"I spent years with this blindfold on. When you lose one sense, all your other senses become heightened." Kazu says with a calm demeanor.
Aoto mumbles under his breath, which causes Aiko to nudge him in the side.
"That's a load of horseshit! I think… he's a curse in disguise." Aoto mutters.
Suddenly, the speakers turn on with a bit of feedback,
"Attention all staff of the Elite Safety committee, report to the main hall in approximately 5 minutes."
Aoto, and Aiko stare at each other, while Kazu already starts walking in the hall's direction.
"H-Hey, Kazu-San! Wait for us!" Aiko quickly makes her way towards Kazu, while Aoto lags behind.
The three of them make their way to the main hall of the building, the place filled with different curse hunters, informants, and officers.
"Where's Fumiko-Chan? She should be right-" Right before Aiko was about to finish talking, there's a loud commotion by the lounge area.
"Let me goooo…! I am in the 3rd Division of the Elite Curse Exorcism Team!"
The three curse hunters look in the direction of the commotion, where they see a feisty female with brown messy hair and ember eyes being restrained by what looks like security.
The female sees the trio and smiles widely before pushing the security out of the way.
"Oh my goshhh~ There's my bestie!" The female says with a funny sounding voice.
She practically tosses herself into Aiko's arms.
"Jeez Fumiko-Chan… you're getting quite heavy…" Aiko says with a slight grunt.
The female, known as Fumiko, giggles childishly and pulls away from Aiko.
"Are you calling me fat? I only weigh a measly 115 pounds!" Fumiko says with a huff.
Kazu and Aoto look at each other then back at the pair.
Fumiko looks at the two boys and rolls her eyes, clearly uninterested with them.
"Well Well, if it isn't dumb and dumber…" Fumiko said with an eye roll.
This made Aoto scowl and walk up to her, eyeing her down.
"You wanna go or somethin'? I'll kick your ass, you damn brat!" Aoto muttered through his teeth.
Aiko breaks them both up and sighs, looking back at Kazu.
"Hey Kazu-San, can you go ask the people at the front why they wanted us in the main hall please?"
Kazu nods and walks over to the sign-in desk.
"Hey uhh, you mind tellin' me why everyone is getting called into the main hall…?" Kazu asked the young lady at the desk.
The female looks up and adjusts her glasses, "I honestly have no clue… it was kind of out of nowhere, I can-"
Suddenly, the young lady's eyes widened at her computer screen, which made Kazu a bit confused.
"Eh- what's goin' on? You got an alert or somethin'?" Kazu asked while tilting his head slightly.
She nods slowly and she motions Kazu to come closer, "Y-You might want t-to take a look at t-this…" She stutters out.
Kazu walks over to the computer screen and his brows furrow.
[SUMMON SPAWNED IN LOCAL PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL.]
[Hunters claimed it "Overwhelmingly Potent With Execration Power."]
As Kazu reads the headline, his composure stays calm, but there is a hint of worry in his blindfolded expression.
"I'll take it. I'll take on the mission." Kazu said while crossing his arms.
The young lady's eyes widened, and she cleared her throat.
"A-Are you sure…? Where's your squadmates!?"
Kazu huffs, already impatient with the lady, "Listen, I don't need 'em because I can handle it myself. You can put my name in the registry."
The young lady nods hesitantly and types something on the computer.
"Alright Mr. Kazu, you are free to take on this commission anytime, but I advise you to please be careful and don't hesitate to-"
Before the lady can finish, Kazu takes the printed report and quickly leaves.
"It's time to kick some cursed ass." Kazu said while adjusting his blindfold.
