Chapter 2

The next day, I opened my eyes and saw the sword next to me. " We'll go back to your speed training, but right now, I need you to hunt and kill five animals in two hours, so go, don't forget to bring their head back as proof, " Liyokiro said, as I got out of the bed. I grabbed the sword, and left the house, going down the hill and into the forrest. When I reached the entrance of the forrest, I could smell everything within 200 feet. ' An boar is a not to far away from me, ' I thought, as I ran towards it. After running for a couple minutes, I spotted the boar, and it spotted me. It charged at me, as I rolled out of the way. I was bumped into an tree, as I'm lacking a lot. I stood up, and jumped over the boar, stunning it as it crashed into a tree. It turned around, growling at me, as it charged at me once again. STAB. I stabbed the boar in the head, killing it, as I threw up to the side of me. [400 XP Earned, Leveled Up Twice].

After seven hours, I came back to the house, holding the head of three boars, an crocodile, and an cobra. " You're late by five hours, go inside and rest for an hour, then do it again, " Liyokiro said, as I dropped the five animal heads, going inside the house. ' Status, ' I thought, as I laid down on the bed.

' I'm glad I have an system, ' I thought, as I closed my eyes, and went to sleep. An hour late, I was thrown out of bed, as Liyokiro looked at me. " An hour's up, same thing, you got two hours, but bring fifteen animal heads this time, " Liyokiro said, as I jumped out of bed. I nodded, grabbing the sword, and running out of the house. ' He's already growing stronger, he might just show off during the final selection, ' Liyokiro thought, as maybe, I might be the hope demon slayers need against demons. Liyokiro grabbed his green nichirin sword, and went outside to practice his breathing style forms.

[800 XP Earned, Leveled Up]. I looked at the fifteenth dead animal I killed, an boar. ' It still have five minutes left, but I won't be able to make it back by then, ' I thought, as I smelt an something coming towards me. My left eye was hurting, and I knew what it was. BLOCK. I blocked the demon's claws, pushing it back. ' It's an newly turned demon, ' I thought, as the demon charged at me once again. I easily dodged its claws, kicking it in the stomach. The demon ducked under my slash, slicing at my stomach. The demon noticed my left eye, which was red and black. I cut the demon's arm off, which shocked it with my speed. It jumped in the air, hoping to gain the advantage against me. SWOOSH. Its head came clean off, as in its final moments, it seen my back. [600 XP Earned, First Demon Kill, 1000 Bonus XP, Leveled Up]. ' I don't have any proof that I killed an demon, ' I thought, as the demon's head and body turned into ashes.

I arrived back at the house, dropping the fifteen animal heads, as I noticed Liyokiro wasn't in the house. ' I'll rest before he comes back, ' I thought, as Liyokiro was looking at the three demons in front of him. ' So the Kasugai crow was correct, ' Liyokiro thought, as he was a couple miles away from the house. " ' That Man ' will surely give us more of his blood if we kill the Wind Hashira, " one of the demons said, as he charged at Liyokiro. Liyokiro easily dodged his claws, cutting the demon's head off, easily. " I have an Tsuguko-in-training waiting for me, so all of you come, " Liyokiro replied, as the last two charged at him. " Second Form: Claws-Purifying Wind, " Liyokiro stated, raising his sword above his head. They watched as Liyokiro slashed his sword four times, as wind like claws came towards them, cutting their heads off, and their bodies in half. ' Let me return, ' Liyokiro thought, as he took off running.

The next day, Liyokiro arrived home to see me swinging my sword, while I'm shirtless and sweating. He noticed the fifteen animal heads that had flies around them. " Jaylen, " Liyokiro said, as I looked at him. " Shinazugawa-san, " I replied, coming towards him. ' Let's see if he can kill an demon, ' Liyokiro thought, as he smirked. " Jaylen, follow me after putting a shirt on, " Liyokiro stated, as I put my shirt on. I grabbed my sword, and we left the hill. A couple moments later, we arrived at an cave. " Shinazugawa-san, what are we doing here, " I asked, as Liyokiro looked at me. ' There's an demon in there, ' I thought, as I can smell it. " There's an demon in there, you should be able to handle that demon, if not, I'll save you, " Liyokiro answered, as he pushed me into the cave.

The cave is very dark, so I can't really see anything. ' I have to rely on my smell and my left eye is starting to hurt, ' I thought, as I could smell the demon running towards me. I lifted my sword at the last moment, as the demon's claws clashed against my sword. I smelt its arm swinging towards me, and jumped backwards, as the demon missed. The demon appeared behind me, kicking me in the back, sending me flying into the wall of the cave. CRACK. I moved my head, as the demon punched the cave's wall, cracking it. I cut its hand off, and rolled to the side. " An human thinks it can beat me, " the demon said, as an spike grazed my cheek. ' An blood demon art, ' I thought, as I flipped to the side, dodging two spikes. I charged at the demon, cutting an spike in half, as the demon slid under me. The demon's claws cut my leg, as it grabbed my ankle. It threw me into the wall, making me spit out some blood.

' He's losing, ' Liyokiro thought, as he saw me stand up. He was about to step in, but noticed that I closed my eyes. The demon thought I gave up, and charged at me. When it reached me, it swung its claws at me, but I rolled under it. I then slashed upwards, cutting the demon in half. I looked as the halves of the demon fell to the ground. I then cut the halves of the head off, decapitating it. [1250 XP Earned]. ' That was hard, ' I thought, as I sat on the ground. ' He's going to be very strong in the future, ' Liyokiro thought, happy he found his Tsuguko. Liyokiro came into the cave, and picked me up, stunning me. " We're going to up your training, " Liyokiro stated, as I nodded.
