"Why did they have to make the place for final selection so far away? '' Sumiko groaned. It has been about 3 hours since she left Urokodaki's house for Final Selection. Sumiko had met a few people on her way so she was about 30 minutes late to Final Selection. "Wait, what happens if I'm late to Final Selection? I have to take it again next year?!" Sumiko panicked in her mind the last thing she wanted to do was another year of Urokodaki's Training. "If I don't want to be late I've gotta pick up the pace!" Sumiko said to herself with determination as she started to sprint at top speeds.

At Final Selection

"Wow, are these wisteria? These aren't in season yet are they?" Sumiko said to herself. As she walked up the stairs to reach Final Selection she could immediately smell the presence of multiple demons but none remotely close to being on par with Kibustuji Muzan. As she reached the top of the excessively long staircase she overheard some idle chatter. "There seems to be 100 people at most and most of these people are going to become Demon Slayers! If there are so many then why aren't most of the demons eradicated by now?" Sumiko thought to herself as she walked through the crows of people.

The people who stand out most is a girl who is wearing a light pink kimono with a magenta hakima with a butterfly hairpin. The next person was a boy wearing a yellow haori with white triangles with black pants. His hair was yellow with orange tips. The next Person was a boy with a mohawk and a sleeveless yukata over a plain black shirt with long sleeves. and a large scar on the right side of his face.

Lastly there was a boy on the taller side whose hair was a dark purple with light purple tips. He was wearing a black kimono which had stars that matched the color of his hair. He also had a type of tattoo on the back of his left hand which was a very deep purple. "Maybe I should try teaming up with one of them to increase my chances of survival. There's no way I can do this alone." Sumiko thought to herself as she walked up to the yellow haired boy who looked to be panicking.

"I'm going to die. Im never going to be a demon slayer. Why did I agree to go to Final Selection. That old man I'll haunt him for as long as he lives!" The boy was mumbling to himself. "Kon'nichiwa!" Sumiko said to the yellow haired boy who was startled by her approach. "Oh uh hi! The yellow haired boy said while stuttering and shuddering uncontrollably. "Are you alright? You're shaking quite a bit and what's your name? I was also going to ask if you wanted to team up." Sumiko asked to the nervous boy who wouldn't calm down.

"O-o-o-o-oh I uh-h-h-h was goi-i-i-i-ng to uh-h. S-s-s-sure w-e-we ca-a-a-a-n team u-u-u-p." The boy stuttered like crazy. "First off I'm going to need you to calm down alright?" Sumiko said, trying to calm down the boy.

"Welcome to Final Selection. This is a selective process for individuals who seek to become a recognized Demon Slayer of the Corps. The area around the mountaintop does not have any Wisteria flowers and is infested with demons, which were caught alive and placed on the mountain by existing Demon Slayers. Since Wisteria is poisonous to demons, they remain trapped inside the mountain and cannot leave.Most of the demons captured are relatively weak, presenting enough of a challenge for attendees to test their skills.

The exam requires the examinee to survive seven nights on the mountaintop, without any outside aid. Candidates who successfully survive the seven nights are then permitted to become official members of the Demon Slayer Corps. At the end of the exam, they get to choose their own ore for their Nichirin Sword and, additionally, receive their own uniform and a Kusagi Crow, Now good luck And May God Bless Your Soul."

A black haired person and white haired person both said in sync. It was hard to tell if they were both girls or one was a boy and one was a girl due to them looking the exact same. "We'll talk later, I'll find you in the mountain just stay alive until then." Sumiko said to the yellow haired boy who seemed to have started crying. "I guess for now I can just attempt to fight a few demons and survive until I can meet up with the yellow haired one." Sumiko said to herself in her head while walking towards the entrance to the forest where the test will be held. With that she walked into the entrance now trapped inside a test which failure meant death.

"I should try to stay in the trees and maybe attempt to make it to the center of the forest. That's the most likely place where most people will be." Sumiko said while jumping from tree to tree and analyzing her surroundings. "HAHAHAHAH I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!" A demon yelled as it jumped from the ground and clashed with Sumiko. "I have a question for you. Do you know how to turn a demon back into a human?" Sumiko asked the demon who had become bloodlusted. "NAH I HAVE NO CLUE AND I DON'T REALLY CARE. I ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW YOUR FLESH TASTES!" The demon yelled while running at Sumiko and jumping. "Fine by me now I'll eradicate you." Sumiko said to the demon who she had kicked away.

Water Breathing 1st Form, Water Surface Slash!

With a thud the demon's head hit the ground and Sumiko gracefully landed. "That was a lot easier than I thought it would be." Sumiko said to herself. "Oooh It appears we have another punk to devour huh Oni-chan." A demon said to its supposed brother. "RIght Right Right Oni-Chan. Lets see what her flesh tastes like and perhaps we can have a little fun before that~" The other demon said, which sent chills down Sumiko's spine. "They probably don't know how to turn a demon into a human either so I'll take them down at the same time." Sumiko said to herself.

Water Breathing 4th Form, Striking Tide!

Both demon's fell to the ground before they could even make the first move. "I'll find a place to stay the night that tree over there looks fine." Sumiko said to herself as she walked through the forest. And then a terrible odor hit her nose, a smell that smells stronger than any demon she had smelt inside the forest.

"Oh? Another one of Urokodaki's Children? I hope you taste as good as the other ones! I recognize those masks from anywhere."

A demon that was large and green which appeared to have multiple arms that wrapped around its neck.

"Run, Run away with every ounce of strength in your body" Sabito's voice rang throughout her ears but she wasn't afraid. In Fact she was feeling on top of the world having lowered the demon count by 3 in just a few minutes. "Are you the supposed green demon Sabito told me about?" Sumiko said to the demon who looked somewhat shocked.

"Which one are you talking about, the orange haired one or the black haired one? There are so many I'm starting to forget at this point! I still killed them all anyway!"

The disgusting creature cackled while speaking. "Yeah the orange haired boy, the one you brutally murdered!" Sumiko yelled out to the demon who hadn't stopped laughing. "Your one sick demon, you know that?" Sumiko said with a tone that made the demon stop laughing.

"Well duh what are you an idiot of course I am I kill people and eat them for fun."

"This conversation is pointless, let's get to the fighting."
