•| Y/N's POV: |•
You wake up, yawning from your long night after getting back from the last mission. You get up, get in your slayer shirt, then your haori [It's light grey with dark grey and black accents, it is a carbon fiber pattern] and the rest of the outfit. You grab your Nichirin blade off of it's stand and place it at your side. Swiftly you make your way to the Demon Slayer Headquarters. You are greeted by two small girls and they bring you to Master Ubuyashiki
"So this is the boy?" He asks with an almost blank expression, accompanied by a slight confusion."Y-Yes sir. I've been training with Hiragana-Sensei!" He nods in response "Ah yes, I know Hirigana quite well, I haven't seen him what seems like years..." Y/N looks at Ubuyashiki with a "get on with it" face. "So anyways, you applied for the role of a Hashira. Are you sure you want to take the risk?" Y/N swallows while questioning himself. His hand goes out to shake with Ubuyashiki. "Yes sir. I take on the challenge with courage, and without fear." Ubuyashiki, impressed by Y/N's noble manner, walks him to the Hashira HQ. "So I'm going to meet them right now?" Ubuyashiki chuckles to himself. "Of course not, you haven't done any training and you think you are just going to walk in there with no worries? I think not."
I walk behind him to the training grounds, where I meet with two male teenagers. One is a... Boar? He's chasing the other boy, who's hair is yellow, and is screaming and crying. "So here is where you'll be training up. These two are just beginners. So if you do go against them, I advise not trying as hard you would a demon." I nod in respond to Ubuyashiki. I walk up to the two boys in training. "Hey, so you guys wanna trai-" I get interrupted by the boar boy. "FIGHT ME NEWBIE" I look at him in disgust. "My name is Y/N Kinzoku. I prefer if you don't call me that unless you would like to make problems with me?" He looks at me, his boar mask shifting as he yells. "I DON'T CARE YY/NN KINUZOBO, FIGHT MEEEE!" I sigh as I get ready. "Alright. You asked for it." [I pull out my blade, the sharp end covered in a shiny finish, the hilt resembling a strong tin design but not messed with]
The boar boy looks at me. "Cmon and fight me!" I run at him as fast as I can twirling and dodging his double bladed attacks. I continue to make slight punctures in his skin, causing him to stand back for a second. The boar mask is still quaking as he jostled about. His movements matching my agility, his swords matching my movements. He goes to slice my chest, I just narrowly dodge it as I get stabbed in the back with his second blade. I fall to the ground in a fit of pain. I look at his movements and notice a pattern where his weak spot is always behind him. I get up and get ready as I ready my blade. I jump up and enable my breathing. "First Form : Pulverizing Piston!" I aim my blade at an angle to hurt him but not too serious. My blade slashes his backside. "GAHHH, MORON, STOP GETTING STRONGER!" I slip around to his front side, trying to get a hit in, I successfully nick his waist as I hear Ubuyashiki. "What did I say Kinzoku." I back off and stand back. The boar headed boy is angered by my conceding. "You gave up! That doesn't count!" I tell him calmly. "I've been told to hold back for for safety precautions, and I'm sorry about this. What's your name?" The boar is huffing. "IM THE ONE AND ONLY INOSUKE HASHIBARA." I stand back, turning my body to the yellow teen, now speaking to him. "How about you kid? What's your name?" The yellow-haired boy blushes.
[He blushes in embarrassment]
"O-Oh sorry, my name is Zenitsu Agatsuma, why are you training with us, you're older than most entrance contestants?" I glare at him and asnwer."Oh, Im training to become one of the great pillars! So I'm gonna be a Hashira is what I'm saying." Zenitsu's jaw dropped as he responds in a shocked manner. "WHAT? WHY- NO HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT IT, ISN'T IT ANXIOUS?" I say in a chill, nonchalant voice. "Eh, it's not that bad if you don't think about it so much." Inosuke comes up to us. "AS IF SOME GUY COULD JUST BECOME HASHIRA." I chuckle. "Just.. Somebody? Just somebody!? If I was taught by Hakuji Akaza himself would I be 'Somebody to you?" Ubuyashiki is surprised, and calls out my name, his eyes averting my way despite his blindness. "Kinzoku come here please, I want to have a talk with you." I walk up to him. "Yes sir?" He looks at my blade. "Were you really taught by Akaza before he passed?" I sigh. "Y-Yes sir..." He turns to the doors. "This way Kinozoku." I follow him and we make it to a door. "What's through here sir?" "Why don't you just find out on your own?" I walk through the door to gasp. I cover my mouth as I look back at Ubuyashiki.
