Demon Slayer: I advise Wuzan to abandon evil and become a good person

The air on Narrow Mist Mountain is thin, the temperature is cold, and the fog spreads like a veil.

A man and a woman were in this empty mountain area, exercising hard.

Their breathing was rapid and heavy, and every gasp seemed like a difficult struggle with the thin air.

Sweat slid down their foreheads and instantly condensed into crystal drops of water in the cold air.

"Don't be lazy, you have to train hard! In less than a year you will have to participate in the Demon Slayer Corps selection."

When the time comes...Xiantu, Zhengu, can you win?

Urokodaki Sakonji didn't dare to think about it any further, and his expression beneath the Tengu mask gradually revealed worry.

"Yes, master!"

The boy with short dark orange hair, dark purple eyes, and a scar on his face and the cute black-haired girl answered in unison.

Then, he worked harder to practice his swordsmanship.

Xuantu's muscles were tense and his eyes were determined; Zhengu was not to be outdone, her body was light and resilient, and although as a woman she had less physical strength, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

When Urokodaki Sakonji returned to the house, Makomo said expressionlessly, "Master seems to be worried about something."

"Ha--he--"

Without blinking, Xuantu replied while brandishing his sword: "Master must have his reasons for not telling us."

"Now we should continue practicing! Only in this way can we live up to our master's expectations! Hehe--"

"Cha Ci——"

With a gorgeous chop, the wooden stake in front of Xuantu was successfully broken into two halves.

After completing the goal, Xuantu stopped to rest for a while and wiped the sweat from his head with one hand.

I don't know if he was talking to himself or to Zhengu.

"I am very grateful to my master. He took me in, an orphan, and gave me the opportunity to become stronger."

"So, no matter what the master does, he has his reasons. I just need to keep swinging the sword!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Gu's originally calm expression turned into a faint smile.

Yes, because of my master I have a home.

I will keep moving forward and live up to my master's expectations.

After a brief exchange, the two once again plunged into rigorous training.

Their tenacious will and unremitting efforts are bursting into dazzling light under the sun.

Time passed quickly and night fell.

Inside the room, a dim oil lamp emitted a faint and warm light, illuminating the small space.

They sat around a simple wooden table. Their bodies were a little tired from a day of intense training, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.

"Let's eat!" Urokodaki Sakonji placed the prepared dinner on the wooden table one by one.

I don’t know if it was because I was extremely hungry, but the simple ingredients were emitting an enticing aroma and were steaming hot.

Xuantu quickly moved the bowl over and started to eat voraciously, while Zhengu, being a girl, savoured her dinner in small bites.

"How was training today?"

"Master, everything is fine."

"Okay, I'll be out tomorrow, so don't slack off."

"Ok!"

Outside the house, everything was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind and the rustling of leaves.

Inside the house, the master and his two disciples were enjoying their rest time after training. They ate and talked quietly, occasionally sharing some insights and understandings of swordsmanship and breathing techniques.

Second day

"I'm going."

"Don't worry, Master. We will train you well!"

After Sanusa and Makomo waved goodbye, Urokodaki Sakonji slowly walked down the mountain.

This time he went out mainly to collect some daily necessities at the foot of the mountain, as there was not much food left on the mountain.

Purchasing these things was not difficult. Soon, Urokodaki Sakonji had bought them all and was ready to go back with a large package on his back.

On the way, he looked strangely at the passage crowded with pedestrians. As a trainer, he should not interfere too much in the affairs of ordinary people.

But for some reason, he stopped, turned his head and looked inside, and at the same time he heard the conversation between the two parties inside.

"Please, let me join the kendo gym! I will definitely work hard."

The boy with short black hair stubbornly clung to the gym leader's clothes, his eyes full of tears.

Although the owner did a good job of hiding his disgusted expression, he couldn't hide the emotions he revealed.

"Let go of me, kid. Listen to me, this is not a joke. Your sister will definitely not agree to it."

Besides, you really have no talent! Our kendo hall really can't afford a talent like you!

The owner of the hall was at his wit's end. He didn't know what was wrong with this kid. It was like he had gone crazy and insisted on learning swordsmanship.

But his sister, his only family, disagreed.

Finally, under pressure from her brother, the sister reluctantly agreed, saying that as long as there was a sword gym willing to accept her, she would allow her to learn swordsmanship.

I guess the sister also knew that with her brother's talent, no kendo gym would want him, so she let him go without worry.

On this side, Urokodaki Sakonji sniffed hard under his mask and soon caught two completely opposite emotions.

Urokodaki Sakonji sensed the perseverance emanating from the boy, which seduced him and made him unwilling to move.

This spirit is very suitable for the Demon Slayer Corps! But he can't involve ordinary people in their disputes with demons.

“Wow~ Why don’t you want to accept me?” Am I really that bad?

The boy squatted on the ground weakly, crying sadly.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Urokodaki Sakonji wearing the Nichirin Sword.

Is that a knife? Is he a swordsman? Since he has encountered it at this time, he can't give up!

It must be a destiny between him and me, a master-disciple relationship.

The boy thought so and acted accordingly.

Seeing that the man was about to leave, he didn't care about the intimidation of the Tengu mask and ran towards Urokodaki Sakonji happily.

He repeated the same action again - grabbing the hem of the clothes.

"Master, please accept me as your apprentice!"

The people around shifted their gossip focus from the gym owner to Urokodaki Sakonji, wanting to see what choice this stranger would make.

Urokodaki Sakonji frowned slightly and looked down at the boy, looking intimidating without even getting angry as he stood there.

He glanced at the crowd of people watching the excitement, scaring them so much that they hurried away.

Finally, the huge street was clear again.

Urokodaki Sakonji said to the boy calmly: "Do you really want to learn swordsmanship? Why do you want to learn swordsmanship?!"

"I...I..." This man is so scary, wuwuwu~

The boy timidly let go of his hand, bit his lower lip tightly, but still said what Urokodaki Sakonji wanted to hear.

"I want to learn swordsmanship. I really, really want to! By learning swordsmanship, I want to become a great warrior and protect the people I cherish!"

The boy shouted the following words with his eyes closed. He was very afraid that this person would also reject him, so he didn't dare to open his eyes to look at him.

Unexpectedly——

"Open your eyes and look at me!"

"Anyone can learn swordsmanship as long as they have a strong desire to become stronger."

Although it was not stated explicitly, the boy understood what Urokodaki Sakonji meant and knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"master!"
