Mystic Demon Slayer

Chapter 6 - Final Selection

"Umm hello I'm Tanjiro kamado nice to meet you"

Looking at the young man called Tanjiro in front of him couldn't help but nod his head, It may have been a habit but from all the styles he created there are only 2 of them being used all the time

'Zero Breathing: Strengthen' A Technique that stimulates his body and keep strengthening it 24/7, at normal times its effect is weak as to not to affect the stamina of the Zenitsu and hinder him in fights but when used at it consciously at full strength it is very useful as the more powerful he is the more powerful the lightning used in the strengthening process is, its like a loop so every time he gets used to the strength of lightning it gets stronger

As for the second one its 'Fifth Style: Awareness' its developed with Zenitsu's powerful Hearing as a base and with the help of the electromagnetic waves in the air so he can be aware of his surroundings and feel people or enemies at great distance it also has the side effect of feeling peoples emotions and if used at max level their inner thoughts but it cant be used with the first and second styles at the same time as he is moving too fast for him to hear anything at that time

And now looking at Tanjiro all he sees… no hears his kindness it's weird coming from a demon hunter as they usually give off a feeling of madness and anger seeking revenge, even though he can feel the anger buried inside of him his kindness and will to save others is still overflowing and overpowering it

Smiling at him he shook his head and thought 'i have never met someone like this'

While Zenitsu was in deep thought he didn't notice Tanjiro looking at him 'This guy is weird...'

"Okay let's go we still have a test to pass"

"Okay..." nodding his head Tanjiro just started moving with Zenitsu side by side as both of them kept silent enjoying the beauty of the forest

* * *

Reaching some stairs they just climbed it slowly, reaching the top they looked around as they noticed many people

Zenitsu just shook his head and thought 'so many dead people walking, I wonder how many will live, I can feel it, they are weak only around 4 others are decent, Tanjiro is one of them… ill just watch how this goes maybe watching him will be fun as its too boring'

With the Fifth Style activated Zenitsu can feel all the demons on the mountain, they are too weak I can probably kill all of them before the sun rises, but it's unnecessary ill just watch and kill any demons that annoy me'

Just then his train of thoughts was interrupted by the two girls standing in front of the game as they started talking at the same time

"Everyone, We thank you for coming here tonight. To the demon corps final selection. There are demons imprisoned here on Mt. Fujikasane captured alive by the demon Slayer swordsmen and unable to leave"

"That is because Wisteria Which demons hate so much, blooms year-round from the bottom to halfway up the mountain"

"However there is no wisteria from this point on and so demons abound"

"You'll need to survive here for seven days to pass final selection"

"" And now be on your way...""

And with that everyone started entering the gates one by one as every one of them went in a different direction, seeing this Zenitsu followed their example as he entered the gates

* * *

In the middle of the forest, Tanjiro can be seen standing in front of 2 burning corps as he prayed from them the rest in peace

Suddenly sensing something he hid behind a tree as a huge demon passed holding a human in its hand while hunting another slowly, suddenly it opened its mouth completely devouring the one it was holding before turning to the one it was hunting and catching him even though he tried to run

Seeing this Tanjiro couldn't stop himself from trying to save him as he jumped fast cutting its hand, the demon didn't seem to care much as it focused on Tanjiro's mask as it started talking about how it got thrown here by Tanjiro's master and how many ones it had killed and how it's going to eat Tanjiro

It also pointed out that it was the mask that helped it find its targets and proceeding to get on Tanjiro's nerves, Unable to calm himself Tanjiro started attacking it just to be sent flying

But unknown to them a golden-haired young man was standing atop of the tree close to them observing the fight as he looked coldly at the demon with his hovering over his sword

Actually, Zenitsu has already arrived before Tanjiro, as he noticed that one of the strongest demons in the forest were close to him, but he was surprised seeing Tanjiro arriving and hearing them talk he knew that it was a personal battle and it wouldn't be good if he killed it without giving Tanjiro a chance

'Should I kill it and be done with it? No ill keep watching I can just kill if Tanjiro loses, with my speed I can kill it before it can even move for a millimeter, Tanjiro... let me see if you are worthy of being a demon hunter with that kindness overflowing from you...'

* * *

The battle went beyond Zenitsu's expectation, he couldn't help but smile at Tanjiro who could be seen standing there behind the dissolving demon, Zenitsu just analyzed the fight as he disappeared from atop of the tree into the forest

'That mask saved him once, and he is strong but inexperienced if he was experienced a couple of strikes would have finished it…'

'Now, how should I pass this week its boring….ill just find somewhere to sleep I can sense the demons if they get close even if I were asleep anyways… ill just think of this as a vacation to relax'

* * * Author * * *

So some of you wouldn't probably like how Zenitsu kept just watching but cmon he is too strong to kill that demon that would be just trying to forcefully put him in every scene, that's too forced

As for Mystic Eyes of Death Perception I researched about it again and yes it is impossible to regenerate after being cut using its power, Arcueid Brunestud managed to do so by completely reinventing the conceptual structure of her body, abandoning the conceptual structure that had been traced

As for those strong 'unkillable' beings he can just kill their consciousness if their body is 'unkillable', but that doesn't make Zenitsu the strongest being as his weakness at the moment against such beings is his speed, he needs to be fast enough to cut it's lines or stab its point to be able to kill it

Those are just my answer to some of your comments so yeh, and I don't think he will be meeting such beings anytime soon so don't focus on it that much
