(Y/n)'s POV

"Papa!" I exclaimed as I ran to my fathers room. Father lifted his head up from his tea and motioned her to sit down. I immediately dashed towards father and sat across him. A table in front of us creating a distance.

Father placed his tea down and looked me dead in the eye. I flinched a little as my smile turned lopsided.

"Y-Yes?" I asked. He sighed and rubbed the nape of his neck.

"Don't be startled and don't talk unless I tell you to, got it?" He asked, I nod.

"I want you to continue the Ryūsei Family legacy," He said bluntly. I only tilted my head in confusion.

"The Ryūsei Family is known as one of the Demon Slaying Family.

Every generation, us, Ryūsei's, will have a male participant to continue our legacy of Demon Slaying and kept Japan save for generations to generation. We are known as the Ryūsei or Breath of Dragon. But, our family also has a history of, Breath of Element.

There are a total of 8 Elements; Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Electricity, Poison, Light and Shadow.

Each Elements has the maximum of 10 moves. If you train hard enough, you might use two elements together. But in our family history, no one were able to accomplish all the Elements. Our eldest say that our body couldn't contain such incredible source of power.

Yet, I was one of the Ryūsei's that didn't have elements. There are 10 techniques of the Dragon Breathing. But your grandfather only manage to thought me 9 of them.

Us, Ryūsei's have the ability to only have one or two mashed up of the said Elements. But, there was one whom did all of it. Your great great great grandfather. He was known to be the most powerful Demon Slayer in history, but, he was killed at a very young age. When he unleashed an all element breath technique, it killed him but saved a whole village.

Till then, no one in our family know how he did it. Some say gruesome training, some say he's blessed with great power. The answer is still unknown.

And now that I told you our family history, I will train you to see which element you have.

I don't want to say this but I'm afraid that time is precious and I can't waste time on waiting for your little brother to grow.

So I'm telling you this once, and only once. I will train you to be a Demon Sl-"

"When do we start?!!" I asked excitedly as I learned in. Father looked a bit taken a back but then he chuckled.

"That's the spirit, kid." He patted my head. My eyes widen a bit as I saw him smiling at me.

My father was known to be the most strict family member in our family. He never smile, he rarely even talks to us. That's why it's special when he's around. Me and my sister know that when he's around we would always cherish that moment and try not to get on his bad side. It's bad. (A/n: Ha, see what I did there?)

So that's when I started, right there. I have been trained with the most extraordinary obstacles I have ever seen.

"A-Are you sure?" I asked, concern about my life with a heavy bag containing tons of wood.

My father nodded in response as he looked dead ahead, his arms behind him. "This is where your grandfather trained me when I was the same age as you. So, can you do it?"

I immediately nodded in determination. "I WILL, FATHER!" I saluted. I puffed out my chest and ran to the wide open field till I reach the end.

For 3 years, I needed to finish my training that's what father said to me.

The next training is to keep warm during the winter with less clothes so that if I'm lost in an ice cold mountain, I wouldn't need to be afraid to get cold; This is also declaring which element am I suitable with. I also managed to control my body temperature.

Next, holding my breath for 1 whole hour. It was hard, but I just need more training. I also needed to learn Total Concentration, Constant but father said to do it when I'm in someone's hands. I didn't understand but I agreed to wait.

Another training is expanding my 5 senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.

The eye sight was just getting me to focus on the things that are far to expand my concentration.

The hearing is just that I need to close my eyes and pay attention to my surroundings, but I'm aiming to the point that I can hear things without closing my eyes.

The smell, taste and touch is much more complicated. I need to be blindfolded, my father will give me items to smell/taste/touch the item and if I'm incorrect, I get a punch in the gut as punishment. I didn't mind, I stood up and yelled 'again', and again, and again till I guess correctly.

I have some tough times during training, even passing out during the middle of the day to breaking several bones.

Still, everytime I fell down, on the edge. I can always hear fathers voice and everyone in my family always saying "Don't Give Up! Ganbare!" in my mind. That's why I always get up, punch after punch.

Translation timeeee~
Ganbare: Do your best!
