Tragedy

Boiling

3rd POV:

Tanjiro has now cut his boulder, (Y/N) was so happy for him and hugged him wishing him goodluck for when he has to go to final selection. That same night (y/n) and Urokodaki prepared a feast for them,

Tokiya just ate and silently thanking Urokodaki for teaching him for he has now improved his fighting style.

Tanjiro then asked why there was a feast and Urokodaki responded it was a way to congratulate their success,

the next day they all got ready to attend final selection (Y/N) was wearing her (haori design) haori and Tokiya was just wearing what he packed with him while Tanjiro was wearing a cloud designed haori given to him by Urokodaki.

(Y/N) POV:

We we're nearing Mt. Fujikasane where the final selection for this year was being held, I can already see the wisteria trees in the feet if the mountain, we proceeded to go up the stairs, I closed my eyes and felt the breeze, memories of my first final selection coming back to me.

My nails were digging deep into my skin as I held a fist, my first final selection, if it weren't for me, Sabito and Makomo wouldn't even stand a chance against that.

My blood was boiling from what Sabito had called me, a disgrace, he knew too well that I cared too much for them that those type of words would go deep for me.

My blood was dripping from my fist, Tokiya noticed this and took a bandaid from his pocket and treated my hand,

"I'm sorry, just bad memories from when I was first here"

Tokiya just nodded as he finished treating my hand, soon, two children recealed themselves in front of us, I remember them, Kiriya and Kanata, the master's children.

They greeted us participants and explained to us what final selection was, they then greeted us goodluck and let the final selection start.

This should be a piece of cake for me considering I'm at Hashira level, combined with my anger from the fight me and Sabito had, I was on a killing spree.

Not caring for the world as I killed countless demons, it was fine, they couldn't feel the pain as it was a quick death from them.

I had lost Tokiya and Tanjiro when we entered a deep part in the forest but that's fine, with the help of my crow, Akiro, he'd report to me wether Tanjiro or Tokiya were in a tough situation and lead me to them.

As I was in a tree about to rest, I heard Akiro report,

"Caw! Caw! Tanjiro is facing the hand demon! Caw! Caw!"

I nodded as I told Akiro to find Tokiya and send him to the location where the hand demon was in, I jump from tree to tree to get to Tanjiro faster, I listened carefully and made sure to give attention to my environment.

Until I finally arrived, Tanjiro had just gotten slammed into a tree and he passed out, this made my blood boil more, I wasn't going to lose another friend.

As the hand demon was about to grab Tanjiro I quickly used my breathing style,

"Wisteria breathing: Second Form-Wisteria Mist Veil"

I inhaled taking in the scent of wisteria as I masked my presence and charged at the hand that was about to grab Tanjiro, it happened so quickly that when the hand fell I was already standing in front of Tanjiro Protectively.

"My my, I remember you! You're that brat that saved everybody back then, but why are you retaking the exams huh? Fufufufu"

The demon asked, I just stared at him, glaring daggers into his soul,

"You might have survived back then because I was a saint, but this time, I'll make sure you'd burn in hell."

I said with spite, as I charged again at him, I want to make sure that he has the most painful death ever, just like what he did to the previous students of Urokodaki-sensei.
