- Job Info:
Thankfully, his match with Nico had given him insight on his level of strength as of right now. His Demon Slayer Magic needed improvement, and so did his physical capabilities. On top of that, he wanted to learn how to heal like Illya… there were many things to consider. Al-Kidra hadn’t really done a great job and explaining the specific details, fields and limitations of Demon Slayer Magic, so JJ had to feel his way around from now on concerning what he could or could not perform.
JJ had never met another Demon Slayer before, though. And he never expected to meet another one as soon as in this first mission of his as a Dies Irae Neophyte. It all began when he woke up again, stretched, geared up with his brand-new Dies Irae uniform and went to execute a request sent to them from town elders of a small village in the Phoenix Mountains. They had reported the vanishes of young kids from their village, and they were getting paranoid and wanted to find the kids or at least find out what or who was the cause of these disappearances. The village was located around a rural area, and many of the townsfolk were accusing the rural folk who lived alongside them for the kids’ absence, vilely blaming them for having eaten the kids to have survived the winter. JJ couldn’t help but adjust his cap a little, letting the shadow it brought over his face cover more and more as the topic of young kids being taken away like that put him at odds. A lot.
Who the hell thought that they, too, could be the judge over strangers’ lives?
As a way to get more acquainted with the guild and its forces, he was to team up with Kenzo Yonokaze. Now, finding lost kids who - veeeeeeeery suggestively - might’ve been kidnapped by someone, at least from JJ’s perspective and hunch, he was a little worried of the possibility that they would find the culprit who was behind the mass kidnappings and likely have to deal with him in violent combat. That was why he asked Kenzo, during their late-game walk across the mountain roads towards the village after having sailed all the way from Amber Island, about his magic and everything - obviously having started off with a greeting and mentioning his name, assuring Kenzo that JJ was fine for a nickname:
“I… am a relatively new member of Dies Irae. This is actually my first official mission as a mage, so… please, I hope that you can bear with me.” His voice sounded low, humble and open for any kind of response, really. “… *sniff sniff*… Your magic smells worryingly lots like mine.” He quickly pulled up a notebook and readied a small pen to write down with, curious on why Kenzo’s magic smelled like his own.
“What kind of magic do you possess, if I may ask?”
