Hell-reborn Au

or the “Dr. Kan proves that demons exists… kinda” au

So Chapter 4 is almost exactly the same. Watari pulls her fire trap and Hama becomes the Blackened by triggering the trap and is sent off to be executed in the Magic circle.

However, in his excitement to execute Hama, Dr. Kan does something by accident. Even after going over the execution step by step, the staff are unable to come up with a non-supernatural explanation for what went wrong. Kan later theorized that he may have accidentally activated an ancient demonic ritual somehow in his attempts to emulate one.

Because during the execution, the fire stopped hurting Hama. Then his demon arm, his head, his chest, his ear, his eyes, all started to hurt more than the fire and the IV’s. The other students, his friends, all watch him change. They watch him transform. They watch as he is reborn as a demon.

Hama eventually is able to fight through the pain, but he is 100% running on adrenaline so he doesn’t quite understand what’s going on other than everything hurts, there’s fire, and he should definitely get away from the fire. He hears his friends calling out from behind the execution glass. They’ve seen his transformation, but they don’t care, they know Hama is a good person. Wada is still trying to reach out to him. Hayashi is cheering him on.

So Hama breaks through the remaining restraints (they were much easier to break than the one around his arm). He trudges through the fire, towards his friends calling for him. And when he reaches the glass, Hama stares at his new self reflected at him. Hama doesn’t recognize himself at first, but once he realizes that it’s him he’s staring at, he freezes up. He’s a monster, he’s a demon. He- he killed Watari. He deserves this—

Then he sees past his reflection, and sees his friends again. While they all have mixed amounts of emotion on their faces, one thing’s the same. They all stare at him with horrified looks, but he knows that they are not scared of him (Maybe a little, especially Hiroaki), but they’re scared for him.

That’s what gives him the courage to break the glass.

(After everyone backed away first, he didn’t want any of them to get hurt).

(he never wanted to hurt anyone in the first place, after all)

Everyone is stunned by what happened. Some stare at Monomoko, scared that the rabbit will intervene somehow, but the execution chamber has been sealed off again and the rabbit has scurried off (to go see the staff immediately, she has no clue how to deal with this).

The group shuffle into the elevator. They want to comfort Hama, but they don’t know what to say. Hama is still shell shocked himself. He doesn’t respond until the group exits the elevator, and someone finally breaks the silence.

…. And that’s the AU! This is just a starting point so feel free to suggest some ideas!
