"Are you going to take the Demon Slayer licensing exam?"
When Luo Zhen's friends gathered after school and were discussing whether to go somewhere for a stroll, Luo Zhen told them about his plans, leaving everyone astonished.
Aurora in particular, though she was still timid by nature and afraid of strangers, had already integrated well into the group. She abruptly stood up and spoke in a panic.
"Are you going to betray us and become a Demon Slayer?"
Aurora wore an expression as if she had been betrayed.
It seemed the Artificial Island Management Corporation's scheme was proceeding perfectly.
To demons, humans who became Demon Slayers naturally represented people who would stand against them. They could hardly have a good impression of such people, and Aurora's reaction proved it.
Of course, this was a tremendous misunderstanding.
