The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 62: The Exterminator of the Devil

In a city that looks peaceful, it's actually not as peaceful as it seems. There is a creature that is said to be the enemy of humans, they are demons or evil spirits. That is why there is a special organization that moves secretly to eradicate them, the people who are in the organization are called demon hunters. They use spiritual or occult science and borrow power from the spirits who make contracts with them.

Akatsuki Sena, one of the demon hunters who has contracted with the wind spirit in the form of a white ferret. Sena was able to use wind techniques thanks to the help of the spirit who made a contract with her. While saving Satoru, a huge spiritual energy emerged from the headquarters of the demon hunters in the city.

All the great families of demon hunters gathered there, Akatsuki, Inazuma, Mizutamari, and Tamashinohi. These four families were a large family that had countless great demon hunters of each generation. At the demon hunters headquarters, the great leader told me that the spirit fan had started to re-emit its power.

Because it will be held a tournament to choose the owner of the fan who is always on display. Of course all the demon hunter families were very excited to have that fan. A legendary weapon that contained immense spiritual spirit energy, anyone who could use it would be able to become the strongest demon hunter.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At the Akatsuki family residence, Sena returns to her family home due to a meeting. The elders gathered and discussed about the tournament that the leader would be holding. Each family can only send 3 members, not just a large family but all other demon hunter families, not least people who are not bound by the demon hunter family though. Which means this tournament is free to be followed by anyone.

The tournament will be held in a large field that has been prepared by the government. Demon hunters who are great at barrier abilities have put up walls so that people can't go in there or see.

"Sena, I want you to take part in the tournament" said one of the elders.

"Yes!" sena answered him.

"The other two we'll look for again, train hard and win the tournament, bring the fan of legend into our family."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At Inazuma's family residence, Ren is also called to a family meeting and selected as the one to participate in the tournament. "Huft~ is a hassle, even though I know that I am a sword user not a fan," complained Ren when appointed as a representative.

But even so he still had to attend the tournament because of his obligations as a family member.

On another sunny day Satoru went to school with Ren as usual. However, just then Sena came to block their path. "What's Sena-chan doing?" ask Ren. Sena walks over while doing hand seals to erase Satoru's memory of the incident on the school roof.

Ren immediately walked over quickly and stopped Sena's hand seal. "What do you want to do?!" ren said with a little anger.

"Your friend, he saw me when he defeated the oni that appeared on the rooftop of the school and I have not erased his memory because of the sudden call yesterday" Sena explained as she pointed at Satoru.

"Is that really Satoru?" ask Ren to be sure.

Satoru nodded and pulled out a katana that was on his waist. "I'll let you erase my memories if you defeat me" Satoru challenged.

Ren and Sena are shocked by Satoru's words. "Are you sure? A commoner like you would fight me who's a demon hunter?" reply Sena arrogantly.

At that moment Ren looked at Satoru's eyes which were so serious. A small smile was seen on Ren's face, "how about you just take it, Sena-chan."

"Can you guys make out later? I just want to hear the answer, whether you accept it or not. Is it possible that you're afraid of ordinary people like me?" sela Satoru with a cynical smile.

Sena who felt humbled accepted the challenge. "All right! If you die I won't care, that's what you should know when you challenge a demon hunter!"

The three of them moved to a field by the river, Ren put up a barrier so that people could not see their fight. "I've put up barriers, you can start fighting" he said.

"If you win you can erase my memory, but if I win you have to explain the devil and demon hunters" Satoru said.

"Alright, I can't lose anyway" Sena accepted.

They both took distance and Ren was in their midst to be the referee. As Ren's hand moved down, the fight began. Sena who underestimated Satoru was just silent on the spot and intended to get Satoru who launched the first attack.

Satoru smiled slightly and moved so fast and struck Sena's sword hard that it slipped away. "Take your sword! I am not someone you can take lightly," Satoru said as he brandished his sword.

Ren and Sena fell silent at the sight of what had happened, and they could not even see Satoru's movements until he was in front of Sena. "I know that Satoru was very good at the dojo, but I didn't think he was actually this strong...Is it possible that he was a demon hunter as well?" muttered Ren in his mind.

"W-Is it possible that you're also a demon hunter?" ask Sena.

"Stop that..."

Satoru drew his sword and took his distance back for the rematch. "I remind you, fight seriously! You can also use the wind like on the roof of the school" said Satoru.

Sena's gaze became different from before, she started to get serious and summoned the spirit that made the contract with her. "Let's beat him!" he told the spirit of the wind weasel.

When the match started, Sena was the first to strike with a wind tornado and a wind knife. However, Satoru was able to avoid it all with such a quick movement. Sena was in disbelief if anyone could move that fast and managed to dodge all of her attacks. The wind is hard to see.

"!!!"

Bam!

Satoru twisted behind Sena and kicked her hard until she hit the barrier wall hard.

Now I remember, what I experienced before was not a dream. I really am in another world, all the power in my body when it starts coming back. But, my access to the artifacts seemed to be blocked due to the world's transfer. I have to find a way back to that world, if these demon hunters have any information then I have to dig up information from them.

"What's wrong? Is this just the ability of a demon hunter?" said Satoru looked down on Sena who was slumped on the ground.
