"I agree Kyojuro" Someone with wide eyes and white hair responds

"His breathing style is quite flashy isnt it? I've never seen it before" A person with an affinity for flamboyant things remarks

"He said Sun Breathing and I've never heard of it either Tengen, maybe my family's records have some information" Kyojuro says

"Whatever it is he took down the strongest demon in the test he could eventually become a Hashira"

"And that's why I've decided to make him my Tsuguko Sanemi"

Right before Kyojuro walks out of the control room he shouts.

"I CAN FEEL HIS DETERMINATION FROM HERE!"

The rest of the Hashira's in the room cringe from the loud noise.

---------------------------------------

Ever since the encounter with the hand demon no demon Tanjiro has ever encountered came close to the power of him, solidifying his belief that he was kept alive as a test of power.

Currently it is the 7th and last day, 11:00 A.M to be precise, an hour before being let out. Tanjiro was still sleeping off his demon slaying escapades of the night before and while he was asleep he was thinking about the interesting figures he met.

First he remembered the yellow haired guy, Tanjiro met him scared shitless backed up against a tree on the second day, cornered by a demon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"P-p-p-please don't k-kill me!"

"You're pathetic you have a sword and you haven't even drawn it!" The demon says while chuckling

The demon then fakes a lunge causing the yellow haired boy to pass out after screaming.

"Did he, pass out?? I have to save him!" Tanjiro thought as he started moving to draw his sword

The controller watching the demon about to attack the yellow haired boy had the same thought. He was about to trigger the knockout poison in the demon when suddenly...

"Thunder Breathing First Form: Thunderclap and Flash"

The demons head was lopped off faster than Tanjiro could see what happened, all he knew was that the boy used Thunder Breathing and was standing right in front of him when a moment ago he was slumped against a tree.

"...What the hell"

Tanjiro was still trying to process what happened when the yellow haired boy ran off, despite his rather bright appearance, Tanjiro lost him in the forest.

"I didn't even get his name"

As his memory faded into a cloudy dream fog another one appeared. This one was of the loud, blue-tipped hair boy who was named Inosuke. Tanjiro met him on the third day right as he was about to kill a demon.

Sun Breathing Third Form: Raging Sun

"I'm sorry, you had to become thi-..." Tanjiro thought as his flaming sword raced towards the fear paralyzed demon and cut through its neck

But his thought was cut off by a figure shouting and clashing with his sword.
