Warning:you will be inside and out of her mind a lot.

I was in nezukos room writing in a journal until I noticed I needed to get dressed,I blew out my candle and went to my room to get dressed after that I opened the sliding doors to nezukos room to see if she was awake but she wasn't "let's go."urokodaki said so I closed the sliding doors

I was out training running through the mountain finding my way back until I remembered what urokodaki told me
(Flashback)
"I am a trainer.my job is to teach new swordsmen.there are many other trainers.each one is different.they all educate their students using their own methods.to complete your training and join the demon slayer corps,you will have to survive the final selection process on mount fujikasane,and I decide whether you'll undertake that challenge or not."
(End of flashback)
I ran and jumped over a rope so the trap won't activate when I accidentally trip over it

"As of today,I'm going to start keeping a journal for Nezuko.I'm descending the mountain again today.I'll train so that I can survive through the final selection."| accidentally set of a trap and looked to my right to see a log heading my way so I ducked and then jumped over another rope |"day after day,I've made my way down the mountain,and I'm starting to learn how to avoid most of the traps,because I'm much stronger now,and somehow I've gotten even better at picking up subtle scents than I was before.however..."|

I looked to my left to see 4 knifes coming my way so I moved out the way having them hit the tree |"the traps are getting more difficult."| I then almost feel in a tiger pit full of sharp objects |"I'm starting to think he wants me dead."| after all that I wrote it down in the Journal and repeated |"today I carried my sword with me down the mountain,but it made moving a lot harder."| I accidentally stepped in a trap making me be upside down.|"the weights throwing me off.I get caught in every trap"| I try wiggling out of it
|"Today I swung the sword.actually,not just today.that's been every day.as soon as I'm down the mountain,I swing it 'til I feel like my arms'll fall off."|

"1,000!" I yelled "now do 500 more." I then turn paper white,after all that I'm still writing this down but I get tired when doing so which made me pass out.the next morning we did a different lesson"swords are fragile weapons."

|"That's how my sword training started.though strong along the blades edge.it's very weak on the sides.so obviously you have to apply the force where it's strongest.the direction the blade is facing and the direction you swing have to be exactly the same.otherwise,it'll break.urokodaki told me,if you ever break your sword,I'll break every bone in your body.he sounded just like that,too,very ominous."|

I woke up and rubbed my eyes"Nezuko.I have to work hard for her."I said tiredly and went back to writing.the next morning I was taught how to fight with a sword

While holding the sword I saw the world turn sideways but it was just me |"today,I feel down.I'm training to do it as softly as possible so I can get up quickly from any position."| I raised my sword and charged at him |"I raised my sword,charge me.urokodaki,and try to kill him.meanwhile,he's unarmed,barehanded..."| mr.urokodaki grabbed me by the collar and flung me behind him |"but he's ridiculously strong.he throws me over his shoulder every time,and I roll to the ground."|

I walk in and open the sliding doors to the room Nezuko was in"Nezuko,I'm home."I said and hung my checkered patterned kimono next to me and went back to writing moving my hair out of my face.

|"Today's lesson was about breathing techniques and fighting forms."|

"Total concentration breathing?"i questioned "that's right.also I'm going to teach you how to use all ten water-breathing forms.start by taking a long,deep breath so the oxygen flows into every cell of your body.this will enhance your healing ability and stabilize,as well as energize,your spirit.now relax your arms and shoulders,but keep your lower body braced."
