  The next day

    Alright, focus Y/N. Imagine that the boulder is as soft as clouds. That you can cut through it no problem.

  Y/N inhaled. "Serpent Breathing, First form: Winding Serpent slash."

  Y/N raised her sword and released a singular frontal horizontal slash at the boulder. And this time she cut it.

  Y/N stared at the boulder for a pong time, panting heavily.

  "I did it." She said.

  "Well done, Y/N. You managed to cut the boulder in one month, with only two months of training. Congradulations." Obanai said as he approached Y/N.

  "W-where did you come from?!" Y/N asked, flustered. Obanai gave her a sly look.

  "Let's just say I've never got enough lf your temper tantrums."

  "Alright. You're all ready to go." Obanai said to Y/N. He then knelt down infront of her.

  "Don't die out there, okay?" Y/N nodded. Obanai had grown fond of Y/N over the few months. She had become a daughter to him.

  Y/N heard someone call out to her. She looked behind and saw Muichiro running towards them.

  "Y - *gasp* Y/N .... Congrats ... on alicing the boulder. I wanted to see you before you left. And uhh... this for you...." he said holding out a paper origami crane.

  "For good luck." Muichiro said blushing. Y/N took the crane from his hands. She pyt it in her bag and looked at Muichiro.

  "Thank you, Muichiro-kun. I'll cherish it forever!" Y/N said, and she hugged him. Muichiro returned the embrace and smiled softly.

  "You're welcome, Y/N-chan." He then held her by the shoulders and looked her directly in the eyes.

  "Keep winning for me, Y/N Takeshi."

  Y/N ascended the mountain to find herself sirrounded by wisteria. They reminded her of the cherry blossom trees that surrounded her old home.

  She walked into a clearing where several other people were waiting, all of different ages. Two girls stood in the middle of the clearing, wearing matching outfits, one of which had black hair. They looked similar to Amane.

  "Welcome to Final Selection," the twins said in perfect unison.

  "From here on out there will be be no more wisteria on the mountain. You mist survive one week on Mount Fujikasane to pass." The black haired girl said.

  "We wish you all the best of luck." They said.

  "Fifth form: Slithering Serpent!" Y/N said as she swiftly decapitated a group of demons fighting to eat her.

  She paused to look back at the disintegrating bodies of the demons. Y/N gave them a cold glare and turned away. If looks could kill, she wouldn't even need to use breathing techniques to kill demons.

  Y/N started running again. As she was running, she heard screams of multiple demon. She started running to where the screams came from, and found herself face  to face with a mutant demon.

  The demon's body was mostly made up of hands, with its head held protectively by two of its arms. Several other people were on the ground bleeding. Others were held by the hand demon.

  Y/N knew she had to kill this demon. But.... could she do it while protecting the other contestants? Y/N shook those thoughts away. She looked at the demon with as much hatred as she could muster, and then ...... she sheathed her sword.

  The demon looked surprised, as did the other contestants. Why had she sheathed her sword.

  "Are you not going to kill me?" The hand demon asked.

  "I am. But first, I have to get these people to safety." Y/N said as she picked up the other people and took them to a more secluded spot.

  "I will not let you torment the lives of other innocent people any longer!"
