Chapter 7: Test Passed

In a small house at the foot of Sagiri Mountain. Google search reading

The slightly dim oil lamp in the dark night cast the figure of Urokodaki Sakonji on the wall.

At this time, he was kneeling quietly in the room, silently looking at Nezuko who was sleeping very peacefully in front of him.

At the same time, he was also waiting for the final result of the exam on the mountain.

Hiding his face in the Tengu mask, he kept thinking, thinking about whether Tanjiro could return on time, and whether Mika could stick to it completely.

He didn't know anything about these.

Until the messy footsteps sounded outside the house, his originally stable figure was slightly shaken.

With the sound of the wooden door being opened, Kamado Tanjiro, who was tattered and had scratches on his face, appeared in front of him.

After leaving a sentence "I'm back", he knelt on the ground holding the door frame.

Looking at this scene, Urokodaki Sakonji's heart could not help but waver.

He retracted his previous opinion.

This child has the character to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He stood up and stared at Tanjiro Kamado. Just when he was about to announce something, Tanjiro's voice suddenly sounded.

"Please wait, Mr. Urokodaki, wait for Mika, he is behind."

Tanjiro's face was full of pleading.

Mika?

Will he come back before the sun rises?

According to Urokodaki Sakonji's understanding of Mika's physical condition, he should not be able to come back on time.

In Urokodaki Sakonji's heart, Mika's qualifications are still above Tanjiro Kamado, but because of the different living environment before, his physical fitness is temporarily not as good as Tanjiro Kamado.

In fact, he has already passed the test of Urokodaki Sakonji.

Letting him participate in this test is just to let him experience the difficulty of the next training in advance.

He did not hope that the other party would return on time.

After all, Urokodaki Sakonji saw his physical fitness.

But facing Kamado Tanjiro's pleading expression, he finally fell silent and waited for Mika's return.

Just like that, after waiting silently for more than ten minutes, Urokodaki Sakonji suddenly said: "The sun is about to rise."

As a mountain man who has lived here for decades, Urokodaki Sakonji knows the time when the sun rises at different times here.

Hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's words, Tanjiro's expression became more and more panicked.

When facing the tricky situation on the mountain before, he was too busy to help Mika at all, which made him very regretful.

After all, in his heart, Mika has always been helping him.

Even when he didn't know him, he was willing to shoot arrows at the powerful swordsman to help their brothers and sisters, and put his life and death aside.

This made him very upset, which led to the conversation on the mountain.

And then Mika's roar also made him realize that Mika didn't need his regret, he could hold on.

With trust in Mika, Tanjiro no longer paid attention to what was behind him, and dealt with the exam in front of him wholeheartedly.

Finally, he returned to the hut before dawn.

But there was no trace of Mika behind him.

Hearing the notice from Urokodaki Sakonji, he suddenly realized that Mika might be eliminated.

He became very panicked because he didn't know that Mika had passed in Urokodaki Sakonji's heart.

Just when he wanted to pray to Urokodaki Sakonji to give Mika another chance, there was a friction sound outside the door.

This sound was obviously different from Tanjiro's previous footsteps.

But even so, this sound made the two people in the room tremble.

"Mika!"

Tanjiro turned around and looked outside the house, and what caught his eyes was Mika crawling on the ground.

At this time, Mika had no strength to walk.

Moreover, he was hurt much more than Tanjiro.

Looking at this scene, Tanjiro couldn't help but burst into tears. He hurried to Mika and helped him up.

Looking at Tanjiro's excited face, Mika proudly said: "Didn't I say it? I will never be left behind by you. I successfully climbed back."

"Yeah!"

Tanjiro nodded heavily.

The next moment, Mika and Tanjiro looked at Urokodaki Sakonji who came out of the house at the same time.

The Tengu mask covered his face, making it impossible to distinguish his expression.

Feeling the expectant eyes of the two, Urokodaki Sakonji responded seriously: "Mika, Kamado Tanjiro, I recognize you."

With Urokodaki Sakonji's recognition, the sun slowly rose, spreading the brilliant light on the three people.

In the light, Mika and Tanjiro both smiled brightly.

Their hard work was not in vain.

They passed the test together!

"The Demon Slayer Corps has about a hundred members. It is an organization that is not officially recognized by the government, but it has existed for a long time and is still hunting evil spirits."

"As for the targets of the Demon Slayer Corps, no one knows how the demons appeared. We only know that their staple food is humans."

"And their physical fitness is extremely strong. Even if they are injured, they can recover quickly. Even if their bodies are cut off by sharp weapons, they can be reconnected and even grow new limbs."

"In addition, some ghosts have the ability to change their body shape or have powerful vampire skills. They can only be truly eliminated by being exposed to direct sunlight or decapitating them with special weapons."

Nintaki Sakonji sat in front of Mika and Tanjiro, telling them the information and intelligence about the Demon Slayer Squad, so that they could clearly understand how dangerous the world they were in was.

Listening to this more detailed knowledge than what Micah explained, Tanjiro's expression kept changing.

Looking at this scene, Micah nodded slightly.

In order to conceal his identity, although Mika explained some information about ghosts and the Demon Slayer Squad to Tanjiro, these were just some basic common sense.

After all, too much talk leads to mistakes.

Considering Tanjiro's perverted sense of smell, Micah never even mentioned the false identity he once told Tomioka Giyuu to Tanjiro.

After all, future Tanjiro can detect lies through his sense of smell.

In order not to lie and conceal some information, Micah took on the shape of the Riddler.

Taking in the expressions of Mika and Tanjiro, Kintaki Sakonji continued to explain: "Unlike ghosts, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have to use their flesh and blood to fight evil ghosts for their lives."

"They are just ordinary people. Even if their arms and legs are broken, they cannot grow back. But even so, they are still fighting evil spirits to protect mankind."

"And I am the trainer, the one who will train you into qualified swordsmen. If you want to pass the test and join the Demon Slayer Corps, you must pass the final selection held at Wisteria Mountain."

"As for whether you can participate in the final selection, I will decide based on your strength."

"So, in order not to die in the mouths of evil spirits and become their food, from now on you must practice well with the determination to die. I will not do anything to let you offend."

"Yes! Mr. Lintaki!"

Mika and Tanjiro responded in unison.

"Then you should have a good rest today and recover. From tomorrow on, your good days will be over."

After giving some instructions to the two of them, Nintaki Sakonji walked out of the room.

In the room, Mika and Tanjiro, who were covered in bruises, looked at each other's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing loudly.

For those who have passed the test, no matter what difficulties they have, they can no longer stop them.

Their will has become as hard as steel during this test.

indestructible!
