Progenitor Alpha

"I'm heading out to Mount. Fujikasane." Shez announced while getting herself ready to head on out.

 The travel there is only days away, and she wanted to get there on time so she would be traveling a day ahead. Camilla was smiling in delight, seeing that she is actually heading over there to join the ranks.

 But at the same time, she cannot help but worry for her daughter. From what she remembers from the words of the Omegan Hashira, those who wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps has to survive seven nights.

 It's a live or die entrance exam of sorts; young folks literally die as failure for not surviving.

 While she knows Shez can most certainly handle herself, but the unexpected can happen still. Even if somehow she can fend off an Upper Moon.

 Shez didn't bother changing into something different, still wearing her standard mercenary outfit and straps her dual blades on her sides. It's not like she had anything fit for the occasion, so she much prefers something to wear that lets her fight freely.

 Both mother and daughter approached the entrance door, and from there they exchanged an embrace. Shez can smell the anxiousness and worry from her mother, even with the way she had tightened her hold on her. She can't blame her, knowing her only child is risking her life to join the corps.

 "Please come back safe to me, my child..." Camilla said, moving back to stroke her Alphan daughter's face.

 "I will be back. I can promise you that, mom." Shez reassures her with a smirk of confidence, before she turns and leaves her home. The entrance door closes shut behind her, not backing out on her decision.

 The Alpha arrived there faster than she anticipated but right on time as well. Since she didn't want herself to be known as an Alpha yet, Shez learned of another method that would make things easier for her. And that is using her pheromones to change her scent into a Beta's scent for others to smell. 

It's something that only almost no one knew about, which is fantastic. Most are too reliant on the suppressants and the scent blockers to hide their dynamics for personal reasons, that they didn't think about the possibility to manipulate their own scent. Though it's almost meant to establish dominance on the other, but Shez only wanted to keep pretending to be a Beta.

 She looks around her surrounds, seeing wisteria trees all around her. The pleasant, floral notes are within her keen sense of smell, which is slowly becoming a favorite for her. Perhaps a favorite for everyone knowing the wisteria will keep the demons away. This would be the time she had seen many wisteria in one place.

 The flight of stairs are in front of her, and she climbs her way up. Approaching the top, she already began to smell the scents of Betas and few Omegas in the area which had her relieved that she already made herself smell like a Beta beforehand. Passing the first Torii, she spotted the faces of examinees as most of them are Betas.

 Except for the ones with colors.

 A girl in pink with a butterfly clip holding her raven hair in a side ponytail. Her scent being honey and magnolia.

 A trembling boy with blonde hair. His being pineapples and sweets, similar to vanilla bean if she had to admit.

A scarred one with a mohawk and in purple. His natural scent is lilac.

And lastly, the teen with a fox mask on the side of his head and wearing the hanafuda earrings. His scent smells like apple blossoms and apples.

 Those four have the scent of Omegas.
