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

three months later

"Brothers and sisters, wait for me!"

The child, who was in his teens, wearing a haori that was half dark blue and half green and yellow, with a wooden samurai sword hanging around his waist, stumbled after the two figures in front of him.

As he continued running in the mountains and forests, he felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his face.

The exhaled gas, meeting the cold air from the Narrow Mist Mountain, turned into white smoke.

Compared to when he first came here, Tomioka Giyu has made some progress, at least he can complete the entry test.

Urokodaki Sakonji didn't know why he agreed to take Tomioka Giyu as his apprentice, considering that he couldn't even pass the entrance exam and his talent wasn't that good.

But seeing the pursuit of swordsmanship in the boy's eyes, Urokodaki Sakonji finally agreed to him.

After telling Giyu Tomioka his identity and the story about the ghost, Giyu Tomioka did not back down.

He said, "It is precisely because there are people I want to protect that I should work harder. I can't imagine the scene of my sister being killed by a ghost."

"So, as long as we kill them all first, there will be no threat to my sister's life."

He stood tall and straight, his gaze was as firm as a torch, and his bright eyes sparkled with confidence.

Even Urokodaki Sakonji was moved by such lofty ambitions.

Urokodaki Sakonji didn't know if he could hold on, but he still gave him a chance.

As long as he can get the recognition of Saneto and Makomo one year later, that is, before the swordsman assessment, Urokodaki Sakonji is willing to continue teaching him.

As for letting Tomioka Giyuu, who had only studied for a year, take the swordsman exam? What a joke!

Urokodaki Sakonji plans to let Tomioka Giyu take part in the next assessment, of course, the prerequisite is to get the approval of Sanusa and Makomo.

If even the two of them don't recognize the new junior brother, all this will be meaningless.

So, that day, Urokodaki Sakonji brought Tomioka Giyuu back to Sagiri Mountain.

"Satsuma, Makomo, this is your junior fellow apprentice." Then, Urokodaki Sakonji said to Tomioka Giyuu, "Tomioka Giyuu, I will only agree to let you join the Demon Slayer Corps if you get their approval."

"Ah? Okay!" Tomioka Giyuu bowed to the two of them politely, "Hello, senior brothers and sisters! Please take care of me in the future!"

Xuantu and Zhengu smiled faintly and said, "Welcome."

"Master, please leave the training of our little apprentice brother to us!"

Afterwards, Giyu Tomioka also realized that only if he passed the assessment of his two senior brothers and sisters could he go to eliminate evil spirits and join the Demon Slayer Corps.

Giyu Tomioka, who was young and didn't know the hardship of training, was very excited on the first day, but he was so tired that he started crying and said he wanted to go home after just one day.

"If you can't even stick to this, you'd better go back! You are not fit to be a ghost hunter." Xuantu looked at him seriously, "If you are still a man, stand up and train!"

As he said that, Santo pointed his knife at Tomioka Giyuu.

Zhengu, who was standing by, said worriedly, "Shantu, isn't this too harsh? Let's take it slow."

Santu snorted coldly, put away his samurai sword, turned around to continue training, and threw a word to Zhengu.

"If you think so, then his training is up to you."

Senior Brother——

It's all because of me. I'm so useless. These trainings are simply not something a human can complete. I'd better go home and accompany my sister.

Tomioka Giyuu couldn't help but shed tears, which fell to the ground drop by drop.

"Don't cry. Since you have chosen this path, please work hard on it."

Zhengu took out a handkerchief from somewhere, squatted down and gently wiped the water stains on Tomioka Giyu's face.

"Let's talk. Master said you learned swordsmanship to protect your family..."

"Wha, what?"

During the long communication, Shinkomo used some unknown method to help Giyu Tomioka regain his confidence.

Zhen Gu dusted himself off, stood up and looked into the distance, "Actually, Xuantu is a very good person, and he's doing this for your own good. How can you become a ghost hunter if you keep wavering like this?"

"If you really don't want to..."

Do not!

"No, I do. I want to be a ghost hunter!" Tomioka Giyuu gritted his teeth and showed a stubborn expression.

He had a hunch that if he really gave up here, he would definitely regret it later.

An inexplicable force was pushing him forward.

……

“Ha, ha~”

I'm so tired, no! I have to persevere!

Giyu Tomioka stopped to catch his breath for a moment and continued training with his seniors.

So, two figures ran quickly in the woods to avoid obstacles, and not far behind them followed a figure with slightly immature movements.

The three of them maintained a delicate balance.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the sun began to set and they arrived at their residence at dusk.

If it weren't for waiting for Tomioka Giyu, Santo Shinkomo would have gone down the mountain long ago.

They also deliberately maintained the delicate balance along the way, just to ensure that Giyu Tomioka would not fall behind.

"Giyu is awesome, you've held on for another day." Makomo looked at Giyu Tomioka gently and smiled.

Xuantu also stepped forward and patted Tomioka Giyu on the shoulder, "Now that's what a man should be like!"

At the door of the room not far away, Urokodaki Sakonji was also very happy watching the harmonious scene of the three people.

"You guys, come and eat!"

The three of them turned around at the same time to look at Urokodaki Sakonji and shouted, “Here he comes!”

Soon, several months passed in a flash.

During these months, Giyu Tomioka successfully passed the tests of Santo and Makomo through his own efforts and gained their recognition.

Tomioka Giyu's originally soft palms were now covered with thick calluses, which were the marks left by countless times of wielding swords.

Fair skin also turns dark yellow due to long-term exposure to the sun day after day.

At this moment, they were sitting at the dining table, enjoying today's dinner and chatting about the swordsman selection of the Demon Slayer Corps in a few days.

"Master, can I really not go? I want to join in, too!"

Tomioka Giyuu had a heavy expression on his face and looked at the others in disappointment.

Urokodaki Sakonji shook his head. "This is not a joke. Besides, there are several demons imprisoned there."

These are also the few that the Demon Slayer Corps has managed to capture in the past few years.

Originally, the selection of swordsmen for the Demon Slayer Corps did not require killing demons, but in recent years, demons have appeared more and more frequently, so they also included killing evil demons in the assessment.

For this purpose, countless wisteria trees were planted on the hillside of Fujixi Mountain to trap the captured ghosts on the top of the mountain.

"No, Master, please let me go! I'll be fine with my brothers and sisters accompanying me!"

"Tomioka Giyuu! The examiners are randomly distributed on the mountain. You might die before you even meet Santo Makoto."

"Master! I can do it. I've practiced Shui Hu very well, and my swordsmanship has improved a lot. I..."

Xuantu, who had been silent at the side, spoke up, "Master, let me try!"

"When the time comes, I will remember the direction my junior brother went and find him as soon as possible. I won't let anything happen to him."
