Can you train me?.

thud...

Stepping forward, Akira comes near urokodaki and said respectively.

" I will lead you the way ",

Urokodaki, nodded as he didn't have any problem with him walking behind.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

After walking for a while, they reached their destination as they were standing in front of a cemetery.

thud*

Urokodaki took a step forward before sat down and closed his eyes, paying respect to those who died unjustly.

" He is the same as the anime ",

Akira, who is a little far behind him, said with a little smile on his face, looking at the sitting figure under the warm rays of the sun, recallaing Urokodaki behaviour, which he saw in the anime.

He finally opened his eyes and looked at Akira before asking

" Did you bury them? ",

"Yes, I am the one who buried them ",

without hesitating, Akira answered his question, as indeed he was the one who buried them.

"You have a good soul, boy. I am thanking you for doing this!",

Urokodaki thanked him in his usual tone before coming near him.

" No-no, you don't need to thank-";

*pat...

Before Akira could speak, Urokodaki placed his hand on Akira's shoulder and patted him while saying, 

"As a former Hashira, I always thanked the one who did good for humanity. You may not realise it, but if it hadn't been for you, they might not even have had a proper

funeral ",

in his past, Urokodaki has seen many incidents like this, but most of the people did not even bother to care for corpses, while the others got afraid after seeing them. There are only a few people who have the courage to step forward, as they are the ones that deserve his gratitude.

Opening his mouth, Akira was about to say something but paused as the latter just nodded with a smile on his face.

"So, what are you going to do now? ",

removing his hand from Akira's shoulder, Urokodaki inquired.

Akira was surprised by his sudden question, as he hadn't thought of any plans for the time being.

Seeing the surprised look on Akira's face, Uroki understands the reason.

" If you remember your village name, then I will- "

" Can you train me?, I want to become a demon slayer! ",

Urokodaki was about to ask his village name, as the latter was impressed by his bravery and wanted to accompany him to his destination, but before he could ask, Akira cut him off.

The unexpected words of Akira startled him as he didn't expect Akira to ask something like this. Urokodaki thought that Akira would wish to live a peaceful life and wouldn't want to drag on a situation like this as it is normal for a teenager to live a common life.

" Are you know about the consequences of being a part of the demon slayer?, There will be many missions, related to demons, that might put you into danger, so have you ever thought of putting your life on the line?",

He woke up from the shock, and asked Akira with his usual deep tone. It was more like he was warning him.

[A.N: Can anyone tell me Urokodaki's tone, as I'm quite confused; I tried searching for it but got nothing]

" I don't care about the consequences as I don't have anyone to be called a family and I will ," 

"I will *not..Ahem... I will put my life on the front lines without hesitation ,"

Akira said with a firm face, but inside, he was the complete opposite, as he was saying, "I care about consequences and I will also have a family, so I will not participate in the front line if I could."

Akira wanted Urokodaki to train him for many reasons. As a former Hashira, Urokodaki had much more experience than Akira and also knew much more about sword moves.

If Akira becomes a student of Urokodaki, then it will undoubtedly benefit him as he will get to know about various sword attacks while also learning water breathing.

This is a good opportunity for him to learn something new, and the latter also won't have to work as the food and other task will be handled by his sensei. Not to mention, urokodaki is more generous than the other Hashira's. It's the best sensei choice if you want to get.

Urokodaki remained silent for a moment before asking,

" Are you sure about this? ",

Urokodaki asked as it was the most important decision of Akira's life. This decision carries his future and he was also a little hesitant to accept him.

Because in the past, Urokodaki had trained some students, but for some reason, they all died in the final selection. In other words, they failed to pass the final selection. 

Not a single one of his students can pull it off, or someone is pulling some strings. Urokodaki has many doubts in his mind as he heard about the deaths of his students. 

He trained all his students hard enough to pass the trail and also later checked their skills by sparring. He doesn't allow any of his students to take part in the trial until they split a boulder in half. The size of the boulder was also chosen by him.

But even after doing all these checks, they died. He had enough of this. Now his last batch, yes he considered it his last batch, as he didn't want to see any deaths of children. If this batch also gets killed in the trail, then he will stop taking students...
