Flaming water | Demon Slayer Swap AU |

Chapter 3

I started to right a journal, so Tanjirou would know what is happening after he woke up. I don't want him to be in the dark...

I herd Mr. Urokodaki call me so I closed the book before getting up and leaving.

" Let's go." I nodded and followed.

" The Demon Slayer Corps has around several hundred members. It's an organization unrecognized by the government. Yet, it has existed since ancient times, and we continue to hunt demons today. But as for who's leading the Demon Slayer Corps, that remains a mystery. Demons. Staple food: humans! They kill humans and feed on them. No one knows when and where they first appeared. Their physical prowess is remarkable. Wounds heal in the blink of an eye. Flesh is restored after being hacked off, and libs can be newly regenerated. Some demons can shapeshift. Others have otherworldly powers. They can only be killed by sunlight or by decapitation with a special sword. The Demon Slayers battle the demons with their own mortal bodies. Since they're human, their wounds are slow to heal, and, once lost, their limbs don't grow back! Even so, they battle the demons... to protect other humans."

I nodded. That is a lot to take in...How has the government not realized this already if the organization is this ancient? I still have a lot questions but I didn't say anything. He told me this while we went up Mt. Sagiri.

" I am a trainer. I literally train swordsmen. There are many trainers, and each of them train their pupils with their own regimen in their location. To join the Demon Slayer Corps, you must survive the Final Selection process held on Mt. Fujikasane. Whether or not you're eligible for the Final Selection is up to me. "

" Does that mean you trained that man who I first encountered? Or was that someone else?"

" Correct. I did train him. But that does not mater! I want you to descend the mountain again." I nodded, and with that he left. I sighed and started to jog down the mountain, jumping over a trip-wire. Ngh!

Starting today, I'm going to keep a journal for Tanjirou.I 'm descending the mountain again today. I'm going to train my hardest so I won't die during the Final Selection.

" Ah! Urgh..." I log came for my face and I dodged before jumping over another wire. " Ngh!"

After repeatedly descending the mountain day after day, I'm starting to learn how to avoid most of the traps. It's because I'm much stronger now, and because I'm even more adept at detecting traces than before. Even so...

" Eep!" A large amount of swords came toward me and I jumped behind a tree to dodge them.

...the traps are getting more and more difficult. He may really want to kill me!

ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

I made my descent today, sword in hand, but the sword really hampered my movement.

" Ah!" A rope caught me and I went flying. I saw that I was going to land straight into a trap and grabbed onto a branch before I hit the ground.

With the sword, I can't stop getting ensnared in all the traps!

（っ＾▿＾）

I kept swinging the sword, although my arms ached.

" 991! 992!"

I swung the sword today. Well, it's not just today. I've been swinging the sword every single day. After descending the mountain, I swing my sword until my arms nearly fall off.
