In Japan, demon slayers have been fighting demons for hundreds of years, but the demons usually win
That's why there is an organization that the government doesn't recognize, they're called the demon slayer corps
One day, a boy named Hiromo met a fate that brought him only sadness and despair
His story begins one day when he was in the house, namely they lived in the forest where they had a house that only had a stove and a few rooms
His father was a woodcutter and his mother was a homemaker, and he also had a young sister
Hiromo was 15 years old while his sister was only 8 years old
One day Hiroma went to the river to fetch water, he stayed a little longer because he always walked slowly and was never in a hurry
The sun rose and night fell, when he was returning home he called out his father's name and said that he had brought water, but no one responded.
Hiroma just shrugged his shoulders and entered the room, but when he entered the room he was startled by the sight he saw
His parents and sister were killed, there was blood everywhere and the walls were also spilled on the wall
Hiromo ran crying to his parents and sister and said what happened to them, his mother raised her head because she was the only one alive but she would die in a second
His mother told him that a demon had attacked them and that he had to flee urgently to save himself, Hiromo said that he would save her and that he would not let her die.
He tried to find a cloth in the kitchen, but she told him not to look, but to run, because she would not survive
His mother told him that a demon had attacked them and that he had to flee urgently to save himself, Hiromo said that he would save her and that he would not let her die.
He tried to find a cloth in the kitchen, but she told him not to look, but to run, because she would not survive.
Hiromo told her with tears in his eyes that he would save her and not to worry, but she still said that she was running away.
He tied a cloth to the bleeding hand, but she said she loved him and died crying in his arms.
Hiromo calls her but she is dead, he cried and said that he will avenge them all and that he will kill the demons so that no one would experience what he called
He got up and started to run, but he remembered that he had to bury them first
He took the shovel that he kept in the shed behind the house, he came and started digging in front of the house
He dug up everything during the night and slowly lowered them into the ground, saying that he would avenge them and that they should rest now
He wiped the tears from his face and got serious, saying that he must not stay here and that he must train to become a demon slayer.
Hiromo knew there was a demon slayer organization but he didn't know where it was actually located
Hiromo ran down the forest and crossed the river that leads away from the forest
Hiroma told the runner that he must become a demon slayer
By the way, Hiroma was a boy with black, slightly long hair, his eyes were orange like fire, and he wore an orange-blue haori.
As he ran he saw an elderly man who had a red haori and gray hair with an old face
Hiroma said he felt like he was a demon slayer or maybe even a former demon slayer
Hiroma was standing a few meters away from him, asking him if he was a demon slayer
The man answers him with a smiling face that he used to be, but now that he is old, his body cannot withstand much in battle.
Hiroma asks if he could train him to become a demon slayer to which the man questions why
Hiroma says that he went to get water but when he came back his parents and sister were killed by demons
The man introduces himself as Sakuraki and tells him if he really wants to become a demon slayer will have to leave everything behind and will have to start a journey where his life is not guaranteed
Hiroma with a serious intention to avenge his family agrees, Sakuraki tells him to follow him
At first Sakuraki walked slowly and then he ran, but Hiroma scolded that he couldn't follow him
After a few seconds, he started running, but quickly got tired and fell to his knees
Sakuraki arrived at a hill where he had a small wooden house and two wooden cats leaning against the house
Sakuraki turns and looks to see if Hiromo is there but nothing, Sakuraki says that he is slow to reach him, however he saw him approaching, all sweaty and falling to the floor
After a few seconds, Hiromo wakes up asking what happened to him, Sakuraki replies that he fell unconscious when he got to this hill.
Hiromo says that since he got to the top he should train him, but Sakuraki says that the training started the moment he asked him to train him and says that the first thing to work on is speed
Hiroma gets up and says that he should start training right away, Sakuraki admires his desire to progress and tells him that he will have a few stages
Hiroma agrees and Sakuraki tells him to follow him, there were logs behind his house but not as big and heavy as the real ones
Sakuraki tells him that he needs to train his strength first and start lifting weights right away to get stronger
Hiroma says that it is impossible but that he must try if he wants to avenge his family
Minute by minute he lifts more and more logs, after 2 hours he lifted high enough that when he dropped the logs he fell on the floor all sweaty and tired
Hiromo says that he succeeded and asked what he will do next, Sakuraki tells himself that he did not have any student who lifted a log after two hours and at the same time to continue immediately saying that he has the potential to become a demon slayer
After a few minutes, Hiromo was ready to continue, Sakuraki looks at him and tells him that she will now go down to the waterfall with him.
Hiroma asked why the waterfall, and Sakuraki smiled and told him that he would see because it was the hardest training he would ever have.
Sakuraki started running while Hiromo followed him, after a few minutes they got down but as soon as they got down he hit a rock while Sakuraki laughed and said he was clumsy
Hiromo got up asking him why they came all the way to waterfall, Sakuraki tells him that he will have to practice his endurance by standing under a waterfall that is so cold that it can freeze and kill a person
Hiromo was afraid that he was going to die and thought to himself if he would even survive this training that he is currently having
Hiromo stood under the waterfall, but when the water touched him, he immediately jumped up, shouting that he was going to die
Sakuraki tells him that he has to hold on because after this he will be taught a swordsmanship style
Hiroma became serious and said that it was right and that he had to endure no matter how cold the water was
Hiroma went under the waterfall again, but this time when he was hit by the water, he didn't run away and just pretended that it was cold and that he would die after ten minutes.
Sakuraki tells him that he has one more training session to prove that he is worth studying
Hiromo says he's ready for anything but is shocked when Sakuraki tells him he has to climb the hill by himself in less than 10 minutes
Hiromo trying to say anything Sakuraki has already reached his house, Hiromo says that he will be able to reach his house in less than ten minutes but he was tired enough from the waterfall.
As he counted several minutes passed and he remembered that he had to get there as soon as possible or Sakuraki wouldn't train him.
Hiroma started to run, but meanwhile on the hill Sakuraki says that it looks like he won't make it
One more minute remained but Sakuraki was still waiting, suddenly he saw someone approaching and when he got a little closer it was Hiroma who immediately fell to the floor saying that he succeeded and was ready to fight
Sakuraki smiled saying that he would be happy to teach him swordsmanship
