Danmachi: Voyager of Worlds Ability

[4] : Demon Slayer Corps, Training of Pain and Growth

In the small house at the foot of Mt. Sagiri.

Urokodaki Sakonji's silhouette could be seen on the wall in the dim light of the oil lamp at night.

At that moment, he was kneeling quietly in the room, silently watching Nezuko as she slept peacefully.

At the same time, he was also waiting for the final result of the exam on the mountain.

With his face hidden behind a Tengu mask, he kept wondering if Tanjiro would be able to return in time and if Mika would be able to hold out.

He had no answers to these questions.

Until the sound of disorderly footsteps echoed outside, his originally steady figure wavered slightly.

With the sound of the wooden door opening, Kamado Tanjiro, tattered and with scratches on his face, appeared before him.

With a simple "I'm back," Tanjiro knelt on the ground, leaning on the door frame.

Seeing this, Urokodaki Sakonji's heart couldn't help but waver.

He changed his mind.

This child has the qualities to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He stood up and looked at Kamado Tanjiro, and just as he was about to make an announcement, Tanjiro's voice suddenly rang out.

"Please wait, Mr. Urokodaki, wait for Mika, he's right behind me."

Tanjiro's face was filled with pleading.

Mika?

Will he be back before sunrise?

According to Urokodaki Sakonji's understanding of Mika's physical condition, he wouldn't be able to return in time.

In Urokodaki Sakonji's opinion, Mika's potential was even higher than Kamado Tanjiro's, but due to different living conditions, his physical condition was temporarily inferior to Tanjiro's.

In fact, he had already passed Urokodaki Sakonji's test.

Allowing him to participate in this test was just to give him a taste of the challenges of the upcoming training.

He had no expectation that Mika would return in time.

After all, Urokodaki Sakonji had seen Mika's physical limitations.

But in the face of Kamado Tanjiro's pleading expression, he finally fell silent and waited for Mika's return.

And so, after waiting in silence for more than ten minutes, Urokodaki Sakonji suddenly said, "The sun is about to rise.

As someone who had lived in these mountains for decades, Urokodaki Sakonji was well aware of the sunrise times for different periods.

Upon hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's words, Tanjiro's expression became increasingly anxious.

Previously, when faced with the difficult situation on the mountain, he had been too busy to help Mika, which filled him with regret.

After all, in his heart, Mika had always helped him.

Even when they didn't know each other, Mika was willing to shoot arrows at a powerful swordsman to help him and his sister, even risking his own life.

This made him very remorseful, which led to the conversation on the mountain.

Then Mika's roar made him realize that Mika didn't need his remorse; Mika could endure.

With his trust in Mika, Tanjiro stopped looking back and concentrated on the test.
