You and Tanjiro are currently in the mountains, of course, in the trial of whether you guys are worthy to be training under Urokodaki. Urokodaki just left you at the top of the mountain. You decided to start going down the mountain, noting where each trap will be, and planning to try and avoid them. Tanjiro followed you. You jumped over the first trap and Tanjiro as well. 

You kept running and evaded the trap after. Tanjiro didn't notice what you did, so he fell into the deep pit.

"Oh god, Tanjiro! Are you okay?? Here lemme help you." I said before reaching my hand out to him. 

He took your hand and brought himself up. Then, you continued running, and Tanjiro got trapped every here and there.

You saw that you guys were reaching the end of the mountain. So after many hours, you guys made it back to Urokodaki's house right before the brink of sunrise.

"We're... back..." Tanjiro said while breathing heavily and leaning on the door.

You had just some sweat and were slightly slouching. Before you knew it Tanjiro fell, most likely because of the air change and hard work. You caught him so he wouldn't fall to the ground. 

"(Y/N) and Tanjiro Kamado, I accept you from now onwards as my students," Urokodaki said.

~ Time skip, after changing clothes, getting settled in and Tanjiro waking up ~

Tanjiro just finished writing his journal, while you were thinking to yourself about random things, and then Urokodaki call you two.

"Let's go."

"The Demon Slayer Corps had around several hundred members. It's an organization unrecognizable 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, well, that remains a mystery."

"Demons. The staple food is humans. They kill humans and feed on them. No one knows when and where they appeared. Their physical prowess is incredible. The wounds healed in a blink of an eye. The flesh is restored after being hacked off, and limbs can be newly regenerated. Some demons can shapeshift. Others have otherworldly powers. They can only be killed by sunlight or decapitation by a special sword. The Demon Slayers battle the demons with their mortal bodies."

"Since the demon slayer corps are humans, their wounds are slow to heal, and, once lost, their limbs don't grow back! Even so, they battle demons to protect the other humans..."

On Mt. Sagiri, all three of you are training. Descending the mountain, avoiding the traps and you guys are getting better and faster every day, but the traps get more and more dangerous. You got caught in a few traps, but you recovered quickly.

Then, the two of you got the chance to go down the mountain with swords. It affected your movement but in the end, you only got caught in a few traps. 

You guys practiced swords swinging, hitting, breathing. 

During learning to do Total Concentration Breathing, if you did it wrong, you'd get a hit to the stomach. Tanjiro got one and of course, I did it wrong a bunch of times so we got a punch to the stomach.

Next, Urokodaki told us to become one with the water, so he pushed us off a cliff into the water.

"NEZUKOOOO" Tanjiro shouted as he fell into the water, you were just screaming slightly and yelled again while standing underneath the waterfall. 

~ One year later ~

"I have nothing left to teach you," Urokodaki said out of the blue.

"What??!" I yelled out

Urokodaki leads us up to two separate boulders, one for each person.

I looked up at it, and it was like twice my size! You weren't intimidated though, instead, this challenge got you fired up! You were ready to prove how strong and amazing you are by cutting through this boulder.

"If you can slice this boulder, I'll let you go to the Final Selection," Urokodaki said before leaving.

"Wait-" Tanjiro said but then stopped to look at the boulder. He looked worried and shocked.

Tanjiro looked one more time before attacking it. Sadly, that didn't do much but gave him a feeling of discomfort.

You laughed at Tanjiro's misery and he looked at you then smiled. 

[ Four months after that, you, yourself, broke the boulder. You were surprised at your own strength. How you were able to cut it before Tanjiro. Even though you did it, you trained with Tanjiro every day, so he wouldn't feel lonely. You'd cheer him on when we were making attempts at breaking the boulder.]

~ Two months after you broke your boulder, It had been a total of six months since Urokodaki gave you guys this project ~

"Come on!! Work harder!!" Tanjiro said to himself while hitting his head against the boulder.

"It's okay, Tanjiro! You can do this!!" I said, encouraging him.

"Silence! A man shouldn't whine. It's unseemly..." A mysterious voice said, but it sounded familiar, to you at least.
