FIVE  DAYS LATER ~ AT THE LOVE ESTATE

Two days after, Tanjiro and Kaito were able to move on.......

Tanjiro and Kaito were allowed to continue on to attend the next Hashira, which was Mitsuri Kanroji. The two managed to get by quickly already having learned my teachings, and even a few more other slayers on the side as well. It made me relieved to know I'm passing some, as some were struggling or slowly improving. Since my deep conversation with Tanjiro, conversing our trouble's and anxiety, I was still surprised he was able to tell my emotion. 

"I'm so glad we're able to spar together!!!" Mitsuri exclaims, clasping her hands together. "You know Tanjiro passed so quickly, he's with Mr Iguro now!!!"

"Iguro, huh?" I chuckle softly, taking a wooden sword from the mantle in the dojo. My hands analyse the wooden sword, testing it's weight and carving. "I know for a fact he's gonna be harsher than ever before......"

"Huh, did you say something?" she asks, obliviously.

Shaking my head, "Don't worry about it........" I assure her, as I take my haori off to feel the cool breeze skim my bare arms. "You ready?"

She gets into her position gripping her wooden sword, and nods with a 'Hmph'.

"You bet!"

She soon made her move first with the shift of her foot across the stones, as she swiftly aims towards me directly. Dodging her attack with a simple angle of my body, she flies past as I nudge her back. She gasps in surprise, before our blades clash together while I counter her abrupt attack. Her movements fluid and elegant, but I know she struggles with her wooden blade as she usually wields a bendy sword.

"Struggling.....are we?" I murmur, with a smirk.

She chuckles, "Yeah, it's been a while since I last wielded a proper blade like this," slashing vertically on a sharp angle.

"Fair enough......I won't use that to my advantage," I laugh softly, as I disappear from my spot causing a gasp from her. 

Appearing right behind her in a blink of an eye, she doesn't get enough time to react. Striking her from behind, she counters the attack but it throws her off balance. Stepping forward I slash vertically up, before slashing horizontally across. With most our counterattacks coming in waves and forceful slashes, my strength was increasing with every second. My heart began to pound against my ears, with my adrenaline rising and rising.

This is it......

....I should try this new breathing technique I've worked on for months.....

"Dragon breathing: The Noble Ryujin!!!!!" 

My body moves into a position as of like a dragon, as my eyes lock on Mitsuri who seems to still be nullified by my former attack. Slashing the air multiple times in a form of the beast, I felt this surge of incredible boost in my stamina and sensory division. Within a split second I came nose to nose with Mitsuri with lightning speed, as her green eyes eyes widen in surprise. She didn't have enough time to counter it, as as our blade clank with a splitting crack down her own wooden blade. This causes her body to withstand it with how abrupt it was, as she was sent flying away into the wall of her dojo.

"Gahh!!!!!"

It felt like my mind was consumed by anger as I slowly walk over her, like my body is controlling itself. The sound of my wooden blade drags along the gravel, as my eyes darken when walking towards her frazzled state on the ground.
