After a couple of days of walking you strolled down a path that was surrounded by wisteria trees, even though they were out of season. You walked up a flight of stairs and came at a sort of clearing, with torii gates and some stoned paths. On the clearing were a lot of children, most of which wore dark clothing and carried their nichirin katanas on their backs. A couple of them stood out to you. A girl with a pink haori, a blonde with a yellow one and a boy with short cut hair on the sides of his head, but the top part longer. Additionally the last one had a big scar across his face and he looked angry. You didn't really stand out that much, with your completely black haori that was tied shut. Underneath you wore a simple black shirt and pants in the same color with black boots to finish it off. Your blade hung at your left hip, as it was easier to draw and slash it that way. You also wore a black oni half mask that covered your mouth and nose. You were very proud of it as you made it yourself, as that was tradition in your family.

It would have been calm for you, if you didn't suddenly feel bump someone into you. You looked around to see a boy wearing a blue, cloud-patterned samue-styled kimono and black pants. He was wearing hanafuda earrings and his hair is cut short. The boy wore a hand-carved fox mask on the left side of his head. The mask had red accents on the eyes, ears, and spots on each corner of its mouth. On the upper right corner of the mask, there was a sun-shaped design. "I'm sorry." the boy apologized. You looked down and saw that the boy was quite scared. That must be frommyheightandprobably the mask. you thought and took it off to give him a reassuring smile. "It's fine. I'm fine. The name's (Y/N), by the way." you said in a friendly tone. "I'm Tanjiro." the boy replied. "Well, nice to meet you. Hope you'll survive this ordeal." you said, chuckling a bit at your own dark joke. The boy let out a nervous chuckle himself. "Yeah, let's uh hope so." he replied. That's when you were interrupted by two girls. "Everyone, we thank you for coming here tonight." they said in unison. They were of the same height, one had black hair, while the other had white and eyes were the same for both, although very creepy. "To the Demon Slayer Corps Final Selection." they said. The white haired one continued: "There are demons imprisoned here on mount Fujikasane, captured alive by the Demon Slayer swordsmen, and unable to leave." "That is because wisteria, that demons hate so much, blooms year-round from the bottom to halfway up the mountain." the black hair took over. The white one said: "However, there is no wisteria from this point on, and so demons are bound." Black Hair took over again. "You'll need to survive for 7 days to pass the Final Selection." "And now, be on your way." they said in unison again, as they gave a bow. You saw the boy, Tanjiro, with a filled with determination and he walked off. So did you.
