"Excuse me, is anyone here?" (Y/N) gently knocked on the front doors to the Twelve Kizuku's laboratory but there was no answer. The girl looked around her surroundings, she was the only one present in the area. Since Twelve Kizuki's laboratory is far from the main campus, there a fewer students that come here and barely any students would be willing to loiter around this block where the infamous school 'bullies' reside. Yes, the members of Twelve Kizuki all live in this block. This building is reserved for the Twelve Kizukis and anyone with Xeroderma Pigmentosum due to their need for extra care. Lessons, facilities, dormitories and even a laboratory are all conducted within this building so you can tell how dearly the principal treat the students.

It was currently 11.49 am, which means (Y/N) had around fifteen minutes to mentally and physically prepare herself before the trial begins. Thank goodness, Daki decided to come down early for once and was able to keep (Y/N) company.

"Hey (Y/N)!" Daki shouted as she scurried down the staircase. The female ushered (Y/N) into the building. Of course, Daki could not be out in the sun.

(Y/N) pushed the wooden doors open and entered the facility. The interior appearance of the building matched its exterior appearance. Unlike the other school facilities, the Xeroderman Pigmentosum sufferers' habitat resembled that of a tower. Ancient and historical are the words I would use to describe the wooden flooring, old-fashioned wallpaper, ancient-looking paintings that hung around the place. This is in contrast with the modern and high-tech environment that Kimetsu no Academy is known for. Perhaps the principal thought that those with Xeroderman Pigmentosum reminded her of vampires thus she decorated the building this way. Don't worry, no one was offended by this groundless belief.

I should also take the chance to introduce the almighty principal of the prestigious Kimetsu no Academy shouldn't I? The principal of this esteemed school bears the name Kaedehara Seiyo (Seiyo is actually how the Author's chinese name is pronounced in japanese. Author initially wanted to put her real surname as well but the pronunciation for Author's chinese and japanese translation is the same so she just went ahead and put Kaedehara (Kazuha's surname). ) Seiyo had been known to be a successful and highly valued person as she was capable of talking contracts with the Kocho family and create an ideal school environment which produced wonderful alumnis.

Anyways, back onto the main story, Daki brought (Y/N) to the lounge and sat her down with a plate of freshly baked cookies, two teacups and a teapot filled with herbal tea. Daki was looking forward to (Y/N)'s arrival so she took the initiative to learn how to bake to produce delicious treats to welcome her crush. Gyuutarou caught her mixing random ingredients together once in the kitchen and laughed at Daki for being such a hopeless loser in love. (get the reference please)

Daki stared with great anticipation at the guest as she gently nibbled the sides of a cookie and awaited (Y/N)'s comments.

"The cookies are delicious! Where did you buy them?" (Y/N) gasped and immediately questioned the lovesick senior.

Snapped out of her fantasies, Daki proudly announced that she made the cookies herself.

"If you liked them, I can prepare more for you to bring home. You can even ask for more after your done," Daki proposed, pleased that her hardwork was paying off.

"Really? Thank you! How should I repay you for these cookies?" (Y/N) asked, still shoving cookies into her mouth in a surprisingly well-mannered manner.

"Let's go out together, that is enough for me~" Daki exclaimed, careful not to say the word 'date'.

"Oi, Daki, hurry up and bring the guest to the laboratory. You are already twently minutes late and Muzan is not pleased." Gyuutarou entered the lounge and delivered the message in an annoyed tone.

"It's already so late? Let's go Daki, we shouldn't keep them waiting any longer." (Y/N) commented, checking the time on her phone hastily and then grabbing Daki's wrist and dashed out of the room.

"Thanks for reminding us of the time," the young female quickly thanked Gyuutarou while flashing him a quick smile before whisking away with Daki leading the way.

The second Gyuutarou's eyes met (Y/N)'s, he was awestrucked. He was paralyzed for a minute or so before he walked back to the laboratory.

"No wonder Daki was so in love with her..." Gyuutarou said under his breath.

"Sorry for being late!" (Y/N) apologized and bowed just as the doors to the laboratory was opened. Everyone in the room stopped their discussion to take a good look at this supposedly genius student. (Y/N) secretly peeked at the design of the laboratory and found it completely complementary to the theme of building. The room was nearly pitch dark with only a few candles illuminating the room. The tables and chairs present also gave off a dark aura. Gothic would be a suitable word to summarize this domain.

"... Take a seat next to Daki." Muzan ordered, his words still stern as ever.

(Y/N) nodded and trailed behind Daki and found that an extra chair was squeezed in between Daki and Douma's seats. Gyuutarou also appeared shortly after and took his seat across Daki.

Kokushibou had begun to give the new guest a well-written lecture on the team's final goal along with their discoveries. While (Y/N) was attentive and taking notes, the other members were quietly observing the young girl as if she was an unknown creatured, or should I say a goddess?

Even Kokushibou was glancing over at the diligent child every once in awhile during his lecture. Thank goodness he had memorized the entire script or he might've been unable to come up with anything on the spot with (Y/N) present.

"That's all, any comments (Y/N)?" Kokushibou commenced the long talk, sneaking his junior's name into the conclusion, as if he wanted to know how her name sound from his own mouth. Her name rolled so effortlessly and satisfying off Kokushibou's tongue that he found himself yearning to say this newly discovered word once more.

"Is the Blue Spider Lily the only source to a cure all of you found? Blue Spider Lily is closely related to Spider Lilies and other flowers. Perhaps the cure isn't the flower itself but the pollen or any other substance that the Blue Spider Lily produces. We can try to experiment with other flowers and try all the possibilities before concluding that the Blue Spider Lily is the only cure. After all, I heard that it is hard to obtain such a rare flower..." (Y/N) went on and on, taking everything into consideration and giving the perfect suggestion.

Both amazed by (Y/N)'s ungodly looks and intelligence, everyone in the room instantly developed a sort of affection and respect towards the female.

Even Muzan, whom was known as the top student and possessed incredible abilities, was stunned when a mere guest had pointed out points that he himself had missed. Muzan took a mental note of this girl, perhaps she really was a good addition to the team. Everyone else had already warmed up to her and, given her knowledge, could help bring the Twelve Kizuki pride and glory.

'Also, it would not be too bad to see her face daily," Muzan thought, analyzing the female's complexion with great amusement.

"Hey Douma, don't suck up to (Y/N) like that!" Daki shouted, breaking Muzan's train of thoughts. The leader returned to the present and focused on the rukus that was caused by none other than Daki and Douma.

"Why not? It's not like you own (Y/N) or something. Anyways (Y/N), you're fine with me being close to you right?" Douma said cheerily, clutching onto (Y/N)'s right arm while rubbing his cheeks against the female's jacket.

Pissed, Daki followed in Douma's actions and attached herself to (Y/N)'s left arm, glaring daggers at the Upper Moon 2 before also getting all close and touchy with (Y/N). Rest assured that permissions were given.

"Both of you, stop it! We're in the middle of a meeting here!" Akaza chided the two childish members. He himself had also wished to be this close to (Y/N) however given his dignity and his respect for females, he restrained himself.

"Enough." Muzan said, his voice had an eerie aura surrounding it. One word was enough for the two lovesick idiots to separate from the source of their foolish attitude.

"Your suggestion was good, we shall do as you say today. Everyone is to listen to (Y/N)'s instructions. (Y/N)," Muzan glanced over at the recipient of his message. "You will be the leader for today. I will oversea the affairs and events. I trust you'll do a good job leading everyone."

Leadership was a key quality Muzan wanted to test and teach (Y/N). He was  curious as to how the female would react and resolve issues. Another part of him was eager to help her when problems arise.
