Arai: (today is a special discount at the supermarket)
"hey newbie, don't lose concentration" a demon hunter said to arai.
Arai: "yes"
Currently, arai is standing with about 20 other demon hunters in front of an abandoned building. They have been ordered to destroy the demon hiding inside. It seems quite dangerous that's why so many people are needed. . They began to enter the building, looked around and found the hiding demon
That demon is shaped like a clown with sharp and jagged teeth, its left hand holds a baseball bat studded with nails and its left hand holds two floating balloons.
"It's a clown demon" said one of the group "I killed it once, it was very weak"
But other people in the team heard that and started to despise the demon, but this time it wasn't like last time...it was too strong. The entire team was defeated in just a few minutes. Everyone had collapsed and only Arai was still conscious, hiding in a corner, trembling in fear.
Everyone else on the team was defeated by a single blow from the demon clown.
Arai: "I'm the only one left...no...it's impossible to win"
Demon clown: "You're the one left, right? So let me slowly devour you."
"If you want to eat then you can, but you have to live first" the old voice suddenly appeared along with the sound of footsteps, the person coming was kishibe - the strongest demon hunter of the security department, on his right hand. I am a knife, the other hand holds a bottle of wine, I am sipping it into my mouth.
Kishibe: "Are you okay? Newbie?"
Arai: "yes - yes"
"Deez, you're already weak and pathetic, how can you still be a demon hunter? Why don't people like you just die?" Kishibe said in an indifferent tone, but those words made Arai completely angry. completely damaged.
Feeling like he was being ignored, the demon rushed forward and tried to use the baseball bat to smash Kishibe's head, but he only slightly leaned to the side and avoided it completely. He immediately used the knife to pierce the demon's head and then made a series of stabs into its body, finally finishing with a slash along the demon's body and cutting it into small pieces. The battle ended completely in the blink of an eye, and then Kishibe left.
Arai stayed there thinking about what kishibe told him. He knelt down in helplessness, pounding his fist hard on the ground.
Arai: "DAMN!!! HOW CAN I FACE THAT THING WHEN I'M NOT AS TALENT AS YOU ALL! NO MATTER HOW I PRACTICE, I CAN'T BE AS STRONG AS YOU...IN THE WORLD" THERE IS NO PLACE FOR PERSEVERANCE, THERE IS ONLY A PLACE FOR TALENT!!! I HAVE NO TALENT AT ALL!!! THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU!!!"
While arai was blaming him, a familiar figure appeared from afar.
Arai: "IT'S INCREDIBLE! I WORK HARD!! I BET NO ONE OF YOU PRACTICES AS HARD AS ME!!!"
Denji: "sorry..."
Hearing someone calling, arai raised his head and saw that denji was there in gym clothes, and pochita wasn't next to him either.
Arai: "you are...denji? why are you here?"
Denji: "Because I heard that a ghost appeared so I came here"
Arai: "you're late, the demon has already been defeated"
"Huh? What is that?" denji pointed to the demon's corpse, arai followed and widened his eyes when he saw the pieces of the demon gradually gathering together, one of its two balloons had disappeared and only one remained. ball.
Arai: "No way! It should have died when it was completely destroyed! Are you kidding?"
The demon has completely recovered but is not yet awake, it keeps staggering around without standing firmly.
Denji: "It can heal itself? So I came at the right time"
"wait! stop!" Arai shouted, kneeling on the ground and holding Denji's waist tightly to prevent him from going to his death. "I know you're strong but you can't beat it!"
Denji: "it's okay"
Arai: "listen to the adults, you idiot! It's true that you're very strong but you can't really defeat it!!! Humans have limits!! That's what separates us from natural talent." bam!!!"
Denji: "who said that?"
"Don't throw your life in the trash just because of that stupid hero game!!!" Arai shouted loudly, that moment was the last straw that made Arai cry. The demon also gradually regained consciousness. It screamed in anger and rushed forward, but was given a basic punch by Denji that penetrated the concrete wall and exploded into pieces. Arai saw this scene and could only gasp.
Denji: "Who decides who is stronger than who? Who told you that practicing like that is already hard work? In my opinion, your problem is that you haven't trained your best yet? Is that true? Is this your strength?"
Denji then turned his head and looked straight at the trembling Arai "or do you really think you won't be able to get stronger anymore?"
Arai stood there trembling, in his mind he bet that denji was a specially trained tycoon or something like that. But suddenly, Denji turned and left with several coupons in hand.
Denji: "I have to go, let me remind you that today is sale day. Vegetables are on sale."
Arai just watched Denji's back as he left. After those words from the bald boy, he seemed to realize something.
Arai: (denji...same as me)
A few days later, arai decided to resign and started practicing, now he had a new goal. He wants to change himself.
"i want to become stronger"
"i have to become stronger"
"I want to be a hero"
