Inside the wooden cabin at the foot of the mountain, Nezuko lay fast asleep to one side, while Urokodaki and Chinatsu faced each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
"Girl, can you take your clothes off now?"
"ha?"
Even though Chika was mentally prepared, these words still made her heart skip a beat, and her lips twitched slightly.
Grandpa Urokodaki, although... but... what you're doing...
"Do you want to see my wounds? This should be enough, right?" Qianxia naturally didn't think that Old Master Urokodaki was trying to take advantage of her by peeping at her. She reached out and slightly pulled down a corner of her clothes, revealing one of her shoulders. A very obvious wound that stretched all the way to where the clothes were covering was now exposed.
Urokodaki's eyes twitched slightly beneath the mask. Although he could roughly guess the extent of the girl's injuries, the wounds were far too severe.
If a normal person suffered this level of injury, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed at all, and their aura should be even weaker.
Urokodaki continued to stare at the wound, and he felt that it seemed to be subtly healing itself.
"Incredible, incredible, girl, your wound seems to be healing itself. It will be completely healed soon, and maybe there won't even be a scar... This kind of self-healing ability is definitely beyond what humans can achieve."
"So?"
"I suspect you may have undergone a special physical change similar to your sister Nezuko. You are not afraid of sunlight. If you don't have a strong desire for blood and humans, then this change is simply too much..."
Urokodaki didn't continue speaking because he felt he was about to lose his composure.
But we can't blame him for that, since this situation is really too rare. The ghost gained superhuman abilities, but at the cost of an unbearable bloodlust and being reduced to ashes when exposed to the sun.
But the girl in front of me has a stronger regenerative ability than humans, yet she is not afraid of sunlight and does not seem to have the bloodlust of a ghost. This change can only be described as "evolution".
Humans and demons have been fighting for thousands of years. Humans have always been suppressed by demons because demons inflict serious or even fatal injuries on humans, while humans can quickly recover from injuries inflicted on demons. Even if the demons are finally defeated, members of the Demon Slayer Corps who are seriously injured are likely to retire or even die.
If this is truly an evolution, and if it can be extended to the entire Demon Slayer Corps, it might reverse the weakness of the Demon Slayer Corps over the past few centuries.
Of course, if this evolution is achieved through demon blood, many members of the Demon Slayer Corps would definitely object, so we need to think it over carefully...
Although Urokodaki was wearing a mask, Chinatsu could tell what kind of expression Urokodaki was probably on his face right now.
Her body was indeed strange. Her wounds were healing on their own, the pain was not obvious, she was not afraid of the sun, and she had no bloodlust at all. Although her body was still somewhat difficult to move freely like a normal person, Qianxia had a special feeling that this seemingly weak body might hide a "power" beyond her imagination.
A few hours later.
Footsteps echoed outside the wooden house. The door was pulled open, and Tanjiro walked in, panting heavily. Blood dripped from the forehead of the boy with the iron head.
"I...I'm back..."
After Tanjiro finished speaking, he lay weakly on the floor of the wooden house. Urokodaki turned his head to look at Tanjiro, then glanced out the window to judge the time.
It's really surprising; I didn't expect to pass the test so quickly.
A boy with strong convictions, a girl who transformed into a demon but restrained her bloodlust, and a girl who seemed to have evolved and was unfathomable.
These three people…………
interesting.
"Then let's start training tomorrow."
The next day.
Tanjiro got up early and began to teach Tanjiro about the relationship between demons and humans.
Tanjiro listened attentively, occasionally showing a surprised expression, and even taking notes on things he found difficult to understand.
Chinatsu also sat in on the sidelines, even though she already knew all the knowledge that Urokodaki was teaching, it was still necessary to pretend.
After the theoretical knowledge was taught, the next step was physical practice. Urokodaki continuously set traps on the mountain for Tanjiro to pass through, the faster the better. Once the target was reached, Tanjiro was made to hold a sword to simulate a future sword-wielding combat scenario.
Chika could only observe these practices from the sidelines, as her body had not fully recovered, but the recovery speed was already quite fast, or rather, the recovery speed was increasing day by day.
In just one week, Qianxia's wounds were completely healed without leaving any scars, and she felt that she could finally get rid of the wheelchair.
After Tanjiro successfully completed the training in the mountain traps, he began to formally learn how to use a sword.
On this day, Chinatsu stood up from her wheelchair and walked step by step toward Urokodaki and Tanjiro.
Can I come with you?
Upon hearing Chinatsu's voice, Tanjiro abruptly turned to look at her, nearly dropping his sword in surprise. He exclaimed in a panic, "Sister! Why are you standing up? A wheelchair... a wheelchair!"
Bang!
Before Tanjiro could finish speaking, a loving iron fist slammed into his head, which was so hard even demons would cry out in pain. Tanjiro's words came to an abrupt halt, and he staggered back two steps, clutching his forehead with both hands.
"Stop talking about wheelchairs all the time, okay? It's been a week already. I can't stay in a wheelchair forever, okay?" Qianxia said calmly.
Tanjiro blinked blankly. Is it normal for someone with such severe injuries to recover in a week without needing a wheelchair?
As Urokodaki watched Chinatsu stand up from her wheelchair, a glint of light appeared in his eyes beneath his mask.
At this moment, Chinatsu looked nothing like the seriously injured patient she had been a while ago. Her complexion was rosy, and her hair was more reddish than Tanjiro's and Nezuko's brown hair. In terms of appearance, she was a great beauty of a different type from Nezuko.
Of course, whether someone is beautiful or not has nothing to do with becoming a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, the Insect Pillar and Love Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps are also beautiful. The Demon Slayer Corps does not judge based on appearance or gender. The only criteria for judgment are "strength" and "resolve".
"Then you can train with Tanjiro."
Tanjiro just happened to get a sword, and Urokodaki also has a blade he used to demonstrate swordsmanship, which Chinatsu can use later.
Now that the students were ready, Urokodaki decided not to waste any more time.
Before teaching the two the "Water Breathing" technique, Urokodaki would teach them basic swordsmanship to lay a solid foundation for their future swordsmanship.
Urokodaki estimated that it would take him about two years to teach, but the time it actually took to teach until he had nothing left to teach far exceeded his expectations...
