Giyu Pocket Dimension POV

Giyu: Tanjiro, become water.

Tanjiro: Uh, Giyu-san, I'm trying.

Giyu: Then let me hit you.

Tanjiro: Wait what-

Giyu: *slap*

Tanjiro: Giiiyyyaaahhh!

A/N: It was a hard, brutal slap.

Giyu: You are not trying, Tanjiro. Imagine yourself as water.

Tanjiro: How do... I imagine myself as water?

Giyu: Imagine your body as water- your skin, muscles, bones, and your organs become water.

Tanjiro: Imagine myself as water...

Tanjiro close his eyes and imagine himself as water, turning his body into a part of the hydro element.

Giyu: Well then, shall we test this?

Giyu: raise his hand and thrust forward to slap Tanjiro's face.

As his hand connects Tanjiro's skin, he saw his hand go through him.

*splash*

Tanjiro's face become water.

Giyu: Ohohoho...

Giyu pull his hand back and Tanjiro open his eyes.

Giyu: Good, you done it.

Tanjiro release a sigh of relief as his shoulder drop.

Giyu: Now then, training it until it becomes second nature. After that, exercise.

Giyu unsheathe his Nichirin.

Giyu: Ready?

Tanjiro unsheathe his sword.

Tanjiro: Yes!

Giyu: Now then, remember...

Giyu breathe in as water form around his blade.

Giyu: You must also master Water Breathing like Hinokami Kagura.

Tanjiro: Got it!

Tanjiro breathe in and water forms around his blade.

Giyu: Good. Let's begin.

Giyu charge forward with his blade going for a horizontal slash.

Giyu: Water Breathing, First Form: Water Surface Slash!

Tanjiro react and block it, but notice something.

*splash*

His blade connects Guy's blade, but his blade pass through.

Tanjiro: His sword can be intangible!?

Tanjiro quickly move his head backward to dodge the intangible blade.

*whoosh*

He barely escape as only a few centimeters would connect.

Tanjiro kicked Giyu, but Giyu block it. Tanjiro use that chance to jump back.

Tanjiro: Your sword can be intangible, Giyu?

Giyu: So you noticed...

Tanjiro then sees the blade become translucent.

Giyu: My blade can be translucent and become intangible, making it impossible for you to block it or parry it.

Tanjiro: Can you can control with your will?
