"Misaki....Misaki....Misaki!"

I groan and rub my eyes as they open to whoever is shouting my name. Once my eyes adjust to the light and surroundings Athena's Bright red hair comes into view as she's hovering next to me.

I notice she's patched up, a bandage around her head and arms. Wait, weren't we at final selection? Did we pass?

"A-Athena? How did we get here?" I ask sitting up, wincing a little in pain.

"The old hag of this wisteria house told me 2 kids with white and black hair brought us here. They said Kamado Tanjiro ordered for us to be brought to safety." Athena says

Tanjiro? So Tanjiro interfered? I don't remember anything after being freed from the Hand Demon's grasp. Speaking of which, Did Tanjiro live!?! "Athena! Did my brother live?! Is he okay!?" I ask frantically shaking her like a doll.

"Calm the hell down first." She says

I immediately calm down and stop shaking her so aggressively as I listen closely. "He survived as well as my sister, they're currently picking an ore for their katana's and receiving a Messenger crow thinga-majig." She says

"One more question." I say "Did we...pass?"

"That I don't know, we won't know until this Kagaya Ubuyashiki dude's crow comes and delivers the message. We should since we technically did survive a week." Athena says.

She does make a point though, we still technically survived even if we ended up injured 3 days in. We still technically passed, though it's hard to feel like it's a deserved achievement.

Athena sensing my unease places her hand on my shoulder in an effort to comfort me, though I can see she isn't the greatest at it. "Look Misaki....fuck.....um.....it may not be a uh...genuine success but at least we passed?" Athena says scratching her neck as she turns a faint pink. "Fuck I'm sorry, Lilith is way better at comforting people than me."

Athena covers her face with her hands, I smile. Even though she didn't do a great job at comforting me, at least she tried. "Hey Athena, Listen at least you tried okay? I'm not the greatest at comforting others either." I admit "That's something my sister and brother are good at."

We both laugh together but we're interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in!" I call out.

A short old lady opens the door and is on her knees in a kneeling position. Athena and I look at her in confusion, the old lady slides 2 letters towards us each with our names on them.

"Letters from Oyakata-sama." She says

Athena and I share a look and quickly grab the letters and open them.

Dear Misaki/Athena

You guys fought hard and risked your lives to protect the slayers weaker than you, your determination and willpower is something we desire in the corp and are glad to welcome you to.
Please return back to your master's houses and rejoin your siblings as you await for your katana's and uniforms to arrive. Your ores were picked by your siblings as well.
