Demon Slayer Kimesu No Yaiba (Role Switched) Volume 1

Chapter 4 nezukos journal part 1

"There are a few hundred members of the demon slayer corps. The organization isn't officially recognized by the government. But it has existed since the days of old and still hunts demons today. However the identity of the leader of the demon slayer corps is shrouded in mystery. Demons. They kill humans to eat them. It is unclear when they first appeared. They have impressive physical abilities and their wounds heal quickly. They can reconnect severed flesh and grow limbs. Some demons can change form. Others can posses strange powers. The only ways to kill them are by exposing them to sunlight or by cutting off their heads with a special sword. The demon slayer corps fight demons face-to-face. They are human so their wounds heal slowly and lost limbs don't return. None of the less,they fight demons in order to protect ordinary people. I am a trainer. Just like it sounds, I train swordsmen. There are different trainers in different places, they use various training methods. In order to join the demon slayer corps you must survive final selection at Mount Fujikasane. I decide whether you may go to final selection or not."

Starting today, I have decided to write this journal for tanjiro. Again today, I descended the mountain. I train as hard as I can do I won't die during final selection. I go down the mountain reapeatitly,day after day. I've become quite good at avoiding traps. I'm growing stronger and my nose is even sharper at picking up scents. But traps are getting much deadlier. The covered pits began to have blades in them. But I dodged them. But I think he is trying to kill me.

Today,I went down the mountain with a katana. It really gets in the way so carrying it got me caught in a lot of traps. Today,I practiced swinging the sword. I say today but I do this like everyday. After descending the mountain,I swing the sword so much I feel like my arms might fall off. The first thing he taught me was that a katana breaks easily. "It's strong against force lengthwise but weak against force from the side. With a katana you must attack straight ahead. The direction of the force you apply must be exactly the same. Further more if you damage the sword he'll damage you." In other words if I break it he'll break my bones his threats are cold like the mountain.

Today,I did nothing but fall down,training to break my fall and get up quickly. Doesn't this guy have any manners I'm a lady. I mean he's old so he should know his manners. I wield my sword and face Urokodaki with the intent to strike him down. Urokodaki stands against me unarmed. But he is ridiculously strong. He easily throws me to the ground. I guess I judged him to quickly. Today,I learned breathing and some standard forms. He said I didn't have enough strength in my core. I've been writing for six months tanjiro,and you still haven't woken up. Urokodaki immediately called a doctor to look at you,but he found nothing wrong. Yet it's clearly strange for you to keep sleeping like this. I was scared. I thought one day I would find you dead. And that's still how I feel every night. And every day I go higher on the mountain for my training, each place is more dangerous with thinner air. Everytime I thought I would die.

" I have nothing more to teach you." Huh? About a year after I arrived at Mount Sagiri that was all he said. "The rest is up to you. Can you take what I have taught you and bring it to the next level? If you can split this boulder,I will approve you for final selection." A boulder? Can that even be split?! Can you split with a katana? I don't think I can. The blade will break. Urokodaki wait! Wait this! Urokodaki! Since that day Urokodaki hasn't taught me anything. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO SPLIT A BOULDER?! Still everyday I practice what I learned from Urokodaki. Holding my breath, flexibility,and most basic things too. But even after half a year I still can split the boulder. I'm beginning to worry. It isn't enough. I haven't had enough training. I have to to more! What if I'm no good? Will tanjiro die like that?! I have no answers! I'm losing hope! I'm going to fail! Come on try harder! "SILENCE!" Where did he come from? I can't smell him! A fox mask? "Whatever the suffering,bear it in silence. If your a woman. Or are you still a little girl?" Then he charged at me and knocked me down. WHAT IS WITH BOYS AND THEIR MANNERS WITH WOMAN!!! "Your slow,weak, and immature. You'll Never be a demon slayer." What does he know he's not even a demon slayer. He's like tanjiro's age.
