After I come back from the test that was given by Master Urokodaki. I hurriedly ran to the house so that I can see if Mr Urokodaki is taking care of my brother really well.

I just hope that they are not fighting, since my brother is a demon and Urokodaki...I dunno. But I have a hunch that he is a demon slayer too. A previous one.

When I arrived home, my brother ran to me, but the sun is still off so his hand get burn. Good thing that Mr Urokodaki save him and bring him on the dark area of the house.

I'm glad that he is still alive. I don't know what I would do If he disappear like that.

I remembee that I passed out at that time.

I just wake up at night. I look around the room and I see that Urokodaki and tanjiro is nowhere to be found.

I decided to find them. I go outside and see Urokodaki and tanjiro talking about something. I want to listen to them, but mother taught me that eavesdropping to someone's conversation is a bad thing to do.

I decided to get back to the house. A few moment pass by, I heard a knock on the door. It was Urokodaki, but where is my brother.

I ask him and he replied the he go somewhere. I don't know where, but I wish that he won't eat or attack any humans.

I'll better ask him tomorrow.

Tonight I'll be listening to Master teaching before I began my real Training tomorrow. I thought as I sit in front of him near the camp fire inside the house.

"Let's rest for now" he said as I followed what he just said. Guess I need to wait for tomorrow. "Goodnight master", I said even though I can't sleep.

Urokodaki's Pov

The demon slayer corps compose of several hundreds members. It is an organization that was unrecognized by the government.

Yet it's existed since ancient times, and still continue hunting demons today.

However, the identity of the one leading the corps still remains unknown.

Demons, staple foods, the humans! Their main source of power was human itself. Killing them, eating them and devouring them means getting them stronger.

No one knows when and where they first appeared, but their physical and mental capabilities is remarkable.

Wounds healed in a blink on an eye. Base on the demon rank. Flesh is restored ones getting cut off and limbs can be newly regenerated.

Some demons can take any forms or shape. Some remains their human like shape, and others have a monstrous appearance.

Most of them have other worldly powers.

They can only be killed by sunlight or getting cut of using a special sword, the nichirin blade.

The demon slayer a battle demon with their mortal body and, once limbs lost. It won't ever come back or regenerated again.

Even so, they battle the demons to protect other humans.

Nezuko stood up as she listen to all things that I told her.

Nezuko pov

"I am a trainer, I literally train swordmen. There are many trainers, using different training regimen at their locations. In order to join the demon slayer corps, you must survive the final selection process held at Mt. Fujikasane. Wether or not you're eligible

For final selection is up to me"

That's what he told me. I need to get stronger so that I can pass the final selection. After I trained that day I asked my brother where did he go last night. He just smiled at me and pat my head and told me that he will tell me once the training ends.

I don't know what he mean by that, but i trust my brother. I know he won't do something bad every night he disappeared. That's why I'll believe in him and wait for the day I pass the final selection so that he will tell me what really is happening.

Starting today, I'm going to do my very best to train. I will train harder even if my body don't move or get hurt because of numbness and exhaustion.

I'm descending the mountain today. I'm going to do my best so I won't die during final selection.

After repeating descending the mountain, day after day. I'm starting to learn to avoid most of the traps. It's because I'm much stronger now, and because I'm even more adept on using my keen sense of smell than before.

Even so, the traps are getting more and more difficult. I thought as I dodge the knives that was thrown to me. I ran again and I suddenly fall. Good thing I grab the dirt to avoid getting pierced by the sword on the pitfall.

He may really want to kill me. I thought as I keep doing my training.

The next day I descend the mountain while carrying a sword on my hand, but the sword really slow down my movement. It's heavy.

This is my first time carrying a sword. I thought as I got hook by the trap and thrown in the air. Because of this sword. I can't stop getting hit by those traps.

After a few weeks of training with traps. I started swinging the sword. Well, it's not just today. I have been swinging it all everyday even though he didn't tell me to do so.

Everytime I descend the mountain. I swung my sword after that until I feel my arm nearly falling off.

"1000!" I said as I notice Urokodaki behind me and said to add more five hundred on it.

This is really hard.

He also told me that swords breaks easily. Though it's strong vertically and weak horizontally, so you need to apply the force straight along the blade.

The blade direction and the direction in which you apply the force must be exactly the same, and he also told me that If I ever damage the blades, in other words break it, he will snapped my bones. My body shivered hearing his threatening voice.

The next day, I did nothing but fall. Training to break my fall and quickly getting up and go back to my position.

I wield my sword and charge at him trying to kill him. In contrast, Mr Urokodaki is barehanded and unharmed while I have a sword.

As I charge to him. He grab my shirt and throw me away. What ever attack I did, he is extremely strong.

He fling me away to roll on the ground every time. I'm tired. I comes home again and greeted tanjiro. But he is not there. Did he headed out again? I'm getting suspicious about what he is doing every night.

No one's Pov

Today Urokodaki teach Nezuko about breath styles technique and some forms.

"Total concentration breathing?" Nezuko asked.

"That's right, I'm going to teach you all forms of my water breathing." He said as she keeps listening.

"Remember to take a long breath so that the oxygen flows in every cell of your body. This will enhance you bodies neutral healing powers, and both stabilize and energize your spirit." He added.

"Relax you upper body while bracing you lower half" he said as Nezuko followed.

"All right, Breath!" Nezuko said as she takes a deep breath, but get her stomach getting slam by Urokodaki's hand.

"Next form" he said.

"Right, like this?" She asked as she got another slam on her stomach.

"This?" She asked again as she got smack again.

"This?"

"Wrong!"

"Like this?"

"Wrong!" He said as he smack Nezuko again.

Nezuko pov

I get yelled at for not bracing my stomach. Does he not know that I'm a girl? It's hurt. And I clobbered on a pulp.

Next he told me to be one with water. "Get in there" he said as he kick me to the waterfall.

And now it's been six month since tanjiro keep disappearing every night without even telling us. I'm scared that one day I'll find him eating or killing a human.

Not a day goes by that I don't worry.

My descent are getting more dangerous and the air's even thinner where I train. I climb a cliff and fall and climb and fall again.

Time and time again, I think I might die.

I use the sword that Mr Urokodaki lend me to use it for my training in the mountain. Traps was sent flying to me, but I didn't dodge. I want to know what am I capable of so I use the sword to swing and swing it to intercept every blades, tree trunks, trashes, rocks that was thrown to me.

A day pass by and Urokodaki told me that he got nothing to teach me. From now on, the rest is up to me. Wether or not I can improve every thing that he thought me to the next level. It's all up to me.

He told me to follow him and I nodded.

If you can slice this boulder, then I will allow you to enter the final selection.

Is this boulder possible to be slice by swords? My sword will snap! I thought as I look at his retreating figure.

I called him several times, but he didn't even flinch nor answered me. From that day, he never taught anything to me again.

To be continue...
