Chapter 05 - Urokodaki's Hope

Urokodaki's POV

I am testing the boy that Giyu recommended to me. Right now he is climbing down the mountain.

The boy was helpless, he was showing empathy to the demons, he was showing them mercy even if his life at stake. He is slow in making decisions, but he had determination.

I was doing chores inside my house when someone, a human male entered my senses and I always trust my sense of smell. He is not the boy, his smell is different.

If he is a human then there's no need to be aggressive, I sense him near the door so I invited him, "You can enter..."

He slowly entered my house, He is wearing simple black haori, have snowlike hair, I can see in his eyes that he is in deep guilt. What does he experience before coming here.

I can smell a little bit of blood coming from him, I need to know why he is here, "Let me start by asking why you are here?"

"Demons," The young man said a single word to me, So that is why, He is a victim too, but he doesn't even have a single scratch in his body, at least not any visible wounds.

"So you met them and survive, how come?" I asked him, Seeing his built, Slightly muscular but still slim, He is doing proper body training, but body conditioning alone cannot defeat demons. He must have been practicing some kind of breathing technique.

The young man drops the bomb and his answer greatly shocks me to the bone. He said that he can turn demons into humans.

That is impossible but I can't rule it out, So I asked him to show me.

That night I use the best of my ability to sniff out demons. What exceedingly astound me was he can keep up to my speed, but his breathing is ordinary, he is not using any techniques.

I will ask questions later, The most important thing was showing me his claim to turn demons into humans.

After some throughout the searching, I manage to sniff a demon, "There is a demon, I will knock it down..."

Before I can finish laying the plan, the young man already dashes towards the demon and easily, suppress him by chopping the back of his head. He is fast, but his techniques are unpolished.

I didn't show him any emotion and just employ him to do his work.

There, I saw It, Power that shouldn't exist to humans, A glowing yellow halo appeared on top of his palm, then the energy that bare eyes can see flow into the demon's body.

The demon started to lose its horns, its black rough skin turns into brown, his smell turns into a human.

He is telling the truth, A demon turns into a human...I need to report this to the corps, there is hope.

After I asked him if we still need to kill the demon, I know we had, I just need to confirm it.

He said yes, so I volunteer to do the deed, I can see the tiredness in his eyes. I cannot bear to make him kill a human again.
