Star Girl (Tanjiro X OC)

Audrey Harding: Thriving Willpower - Chapter 11

"Audrey, that Nichirin Sword you have right now, it is made out of Scarlet Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore, the latter was chosen by Demon Slayers who passed Final Selection. Both come from the Sunlight Mountain on Mount Yoko, a mountain that is bathed in sunlight all day long. Use your sword effectively in battle, and don't forget the techniques I taught you," The woman explains, and I say, "Right," nodding.

"And second," She places a white box on the table, and out of curiosity, I grab it and open it, revealing a black, violet-tinted uniform. "This is your Demon Slayer Corps uniform. It is lightweight, waterproof, and non-flammable. Low-level demons cannot tear through the fabric," She explains.

"Really?" I say, taking the parts out and observing the design.

"It's awesome, don't you think?"

"Yeah, it is!"

"I have something that goes well with it. Let me get it for you." She stands up and leaves the room while I'm looking at all parts of the uniform. It consists of a white belt, a knee-length pleated skirt, a buttoned shirt with a character on the back, and a white undershirt. When she comes back, she is holding a purple and yellow garment in her hands, neatly folded.

"Here," She says, holding it out to me. I take it and unfold it to see a small yellow star shape pattern all around the front and back. "What's this?" I ask.

"Your haori. It's a gift for passing the Final Selection," She replies, and I widen my eyes in awe. "How do you like it?"

"It's soft, and it's purple, too. I love it," I calmly say, admiring its design.

"Oh, and one more thing," She digs into her bamboo kimono and takes out a pair of star earrings that are pale yellow in color. I lightly gasp.

"For me?" I ask, surprised at her kindness.

She nods, and I take them. "Thank you, Ms. Takemoto."

"I'm really glad you like them. Now, as for the demons you'll be facing, there are some that can use 'Blood Demon Arts,' their supernatural abilities. They get these supernatural abilities by eating a lot of humans, and each Blood Demon Art is unique to each demon. You must be extra careful when dealing with those kinds of demons."

"Right. I understand."

"Also, a word of caution." Her expression becomes cold. "Be on the lookout for a demon named Muzan Kibutsuji."

"Muzan...Kibutsuji?"

"That's right. He was the first demon ever created and has been around for over a thousand years. He is the only demon whose blood can turn humans into demons."

"Really?"

"In order to ensure the future of all humanity, he must be taken out as soon as possible. But it definitely won't be easy for you and all other Demon Slayers. He can be hiding anywhere at night, posing as a normal human while turning others into demons. You must not let him turn you into a demon, no matter what."

"Got it."

"And watch out for any members of the Twelve Kizuki."

"Twelve Kizuki? What is that?"

"An organization of the twelve most powerful demons under the command of Muzan himself. Each member has received a lot of his blood, granting them immense power than what a normal demon receives. All of them can use Blood Demon Arts. They are split into two groups, the Upper and Lower Ranks, with each group having six members. I have killed a couple of Lower Ranks but never killed a single Upper Rank. The Lower Ranks get replaced countless times while the Upper Ranks do not. You do not have enough power to overcome a Lower Rank, let alone an Upper Rank. You will put your skills to the test through missions, and as you grow even stronger, you will eventually have the power to defeat a Lower Rank."
