My head hurts, and I'm confused and tired, struggling with vague memories from a few days or hours ago. I make a hard effort to stand up and see a man near a fireplace, sitting on a chair. I turn to one of my friends to wake him up silently. "Etsuko, wake u-".

Before I can even finish my sentence, I get cut off by the man. "You are awake? Hmph..." I close my fist, ready for any danger. "You can calm down; I am not your enemy."

"Then who are you?" I ask.

"I am M. Ururanara. The ex-water Hashira," he answers calmly.

"I have no idea of your true intentions-" He cuts me off again. "Calm down; my intentions aren't evil. We have the same enemy. Remember that man in the tuxedo?" I nod. "Well, he isn't a man but a monster. His name is Kuro, the descendant from the Devil himself, Muzan Kibutsuji." I have a flashback; I've heard this name in the stories my grandfather told me when I was still a kid.

"I have no idea how he returned, but he did." I am angry against this Kuro. Why kill innocent lives? Why that woman? She asked nothing? The man talks back to me. "Let me ask you something, do you want to avenge the people who died in this genocide?" I instantly nod. "Therefore, get your friends, because I've got a few things to teach you.

After waking up my friends and convincing them to follow me, the man brings us to the top of the nearby mountain. Upon arriving at the top, thick fog envelops the area, limiting our view. The man calmly says, "Now get back down the mountain," and disappears into the fog.

I turn to my friends. "Going down? Ha! Easy!" Kensuke sprints down the mountain, only to hit a rope that makes him fall and dodge a huge log attached to it. We look at each other, realizing it's not going to be this easy afterwards.

Months have passed, we have been training how to use a katana and to control our breathing in order to make better moves, we took months but arrived at a result, we were a very storng team, repating various steps of training, cutting rocks, going down, spar and others. the man spent these months to make us learn the Water Breathing fighting style.

It's been a year, we have trained up and became really good with fighting, we even had a small training and fought a little noobie demon, that was easy work." Alright, says the man, since you are almost near to join the Demon Slyer Corps, i made a blacksmith come in order to bring your swords. the blacksmith arrives, wearing a really weird mask, the blacksmith just plced down  box and walked away, we each grab one, as they change color, this is cool. " You are a step from becoming  demon slyer, there is one step left for you, go down the forest,y ou'll find wisteria trees, these will create a path to the Demon Slayer Final Selection, be sure not to die. " On this note, we leave for the Final Exam, ready.
