*1 month since*

It's been 1 month since Aoi joined Giyu and since his buildings have been completed along with his new life schedule. Monday through Friday first, his therapy office in town is opened from 8am to 3pm, 4pm to 7pm public sword training where Giyu just taught civilians proper swordsmanship, during this Aoi would join but only be working on breathing training and physical workouts. Giyu only trains people that proof their determination to him. 8pm to 10pm Giyu trains Aoi privately after dinner. 11pm to 6am sleep.

During the weekends Giyu would house any demon slayers that wished to improve their swordsmanship or need therapy while on their recover, days off or just break. Besides that he spends his weekends going over his patients history, training Aoi, making plans for the future and going on dates with Amane. This is his what he will do for the rest of his short life. Oh yeah speaking of Amane.

The two's relationship hasn't progressed that much objectively wise. Sure they go on dates a lot, convinced themselves it was normal for friends to suck face as an goodbye which get's longer on each date.....totally aren't seeing each other. Ahem, anyways let's get onto the specifics of Aoi's training.

Every day began with Breathing training where Aoi was tasked to keep Total Concentration Breathing active while doing rigorous and intense workouts. Next was her swordsmanship training where she would spar with her using a real katana and Giyu a wooden one. When they first had started Giyu didn't even use a katana as he would just manhandle her like Urokodaki did to him all those years ago. She's gotten better but to Giyu her form is still not refined enough and has serious openings even though it was around a normal demon slayer level. 

Next on her regimen would be endurance training which Aoi had to climb up and down the nearby mountain 10 times while carrying a sack of rocks on her back with a katana strapped to her waist. Once she returned she would work on Water Breathing forms with Giyu, Giyu was surprised with her combability with Water Breathing even though this was the first time she was taught properly (Her last master barely showed her three forms), she was easily stronger than him when he was the same age. Speaking of her strength.

Aoi in his opinion was around the same strength and skill level as Tanjiro when he first arrived at the Swordsmith village. Her talent was amazing along with that head on her shoulders, he knew she would be a hashira soon. The only problem was that her head was also the thing that was holding her back, she has convinced herself that she was weak and a coward so much, to the point her body and soul believed it. One moment he was watching her perform the forms beautifully but the moment he would remind her of his presence her performance would become a disaster.

Thus would lead to her final set of training for the day, a therapy session held in Giyu's home office where he and Aoi would just talk. Giyu diagnosed her pretty easily, a severe inferiority complex that derived from the sense of guilt she felt when she watched her parents die and surviving the final selection by in her opinion luck. ....Just like he once thought of himself, it'll be a long process but he can see the progress.

Giyu's business in town has been off to a really slow start with him barely having a three patients in his one month of opening. He understood why since Psychology is still a new science so people probably don't want to involve themselves with a weird privacy invading science. His public swordsmen training was experiencing the same thing. This time however was due to lack of possible students plus his intense entrance test. (Urokodaki's test) Even then though only five people came so that's been slow with zero students.
