"The Demon slayer Corps, we number in hundreds. It is an organisation completely unrecognised by the government. It I the Demon slayers job to hunt down the demons since the ancient time.

Demons, having humans as their staple food, try to consume as much as flesh and blood they can to get stronger. No one knows where they first started to appear.

They have incredible healing abilities. Their wounds regenerate in no time, severed limbs, heals almost instantly. Some are incredibly fast, some have other abilities.

They can be killed only if exposed to the sunlight or beheaded by a special sword.

But, slayers can't regenerate themselves. Their broken limbs can't grow back, but still they continue to fight, despite their wounds or pain, for the sake of humanity."

Zenitsu took in every single word the male told him.

"Like I said, demons can not survive under sunlight. But you, Agatsuma, you despite being a demon, can do so. That's really rare or to be honest, impossible. I never thought I'd have to train a demon, but now you're here."

Zenitsu sweatdropped at this. He wasn't sure if it was a compliment.

"I'm a trainer, my job is to teach new swordsman. Their are many other trainers like me, each on have their own methods and they train their students using the same.

After completing your training, you have to survive the final selection at Mount Fujikasane, and be an official Demon slayer. And be aware, I'm the one who decides whether you'll attend the selection or not.
So starting today, your training begins."

The black haired boy descended the mountain again. It had been a few weeks since he started it.
Every single day, he had to avoid the traps.

From left!
He bend down while running to avoid the big log he was about hit. He would have flew too far if didn't dodged it.

Right!
He jumped high on a branch and stared at the knives that striked the tree he was passing by. He got down and continued.

Jumping on the branches and trees was a lot useful for him. He learned high jumps real quick and easily.

Today he told me to climb that big tree on the massive ground. I thought it would be easy, well it was. I climbed it but he told me get down and jump on it, not climb. Taking my jumping stance, I jumped high and got on the nearly the highest branch. I stumbled a lot and fell down.

"Good for the first time. But you've have to maintain your balance on the branch." That's what he told me.

My sense of hearing to helps me a lot. I can figure out where the traps are from the slightest noise. Day after day, I continued. I started to avoid most of the traps now, I'm glad I can do that.

Every single day, I'm getting stronger and faster.

Today, I swung my sword. Not only today, I'm doing that since the first day. Kujiwama-san gave me a Katana.

"Demons can be killed by using a special type of sword known as "Nichirin blade". You have to swing this and practice. And remember, if you break this sword, I won't hesitate to slice your head off."

He sounded like that too...

"Nine-ninety seven!! Nine-ninety eight!! Nine-ninety nine!! One thousand!!"

"Do 500 more!!"

I froze. This is getting worse that I thought. But you've gotta do it Zenitsu!! You can do it!!

Sometimes while training, I wonder...

Will I ever turn back into a human again? Or I have to stay like this forever?

Yeah yeah, short chapter... Sorry!!
Anyways...

Now time for a Taisho Era secret!

*Leans in* Demons don't age, so Zenitsu is physically 13 years old, but he's 14 yrs old chronologically!

Next chapter Hellish Training-Part 2
Stay tuned!
