We went back to the house again. After cleaning Giyu's wound and determining that it did not need stitching, I wrapped bandages around his torso.
Then I let him rest on the futon while I leaned on the wall and stood in the corner of the room.
There was silence in the room until it was broken by Giyu. He started giving me the context I was asking for.
"I never did pass the final selection," Giyu confessed.

"Alright, if you wanna talk let's talk."
"?" Giyu titled his head in confusion but he quickly discarded what I said.
He rushed at me as I did the same. We clashed our swords in the middle and sparks ignited due to steel grinding on steel.
We exchanged swings and engaged in a terrifying display of swordsmanship. Our blade whizzed through the air, slicing the atmosphere like butter before they met each other in an immediate halt.
I must admit, Gi...

"Sanemi is still young. He became a Hashira only a few months before you did and he worked years for it. So I can understand why he was skeptical of you at first. If you really get to know him, he is not a bad person at all." Giyu said calmly while sipping tea.
We were currently at the house the village had prepared for us. Since we were the ones who saved them from the demons, they were very hospitable and even provided us with a whole house where we could stay.

Water Breathing.
Oh boy oh boy do I like this one.
Where should I start? It was the perfect breathing for me. It would not be wrong to claim that this breathing style was handmade for me.
In fact, the concepts of many of the forms of Water Breathing were something I actively utilize in my fighting style.
For example, the ninth form : Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent was when the user reduces the landing time and surface area needed when...

"It's a shock to see you here, Tomioka."
Tengen said that usually one or two other Hashrias would take the break with him but never in a million years would I expect Tomioka Giyu to be one of them.
He just never really struck me as the type of guy, both in my past life and in this one. I expected other Hashiras like Kanae, Sanemi and even Gyomei. Just not him.
Giyu replied by blowing bubbles as half his face was submerged in water. But I was able to ge...

Standing at the impressive height of 6'6 feet and filled with bulbous functional muscles, Uzui Tengen was an absolute unit.
He was standing beside Gyomei during the Hashira meeting so he gave the impression of being normal, but now that I took a look at him up close by himself, I realized how truly monstrous he was.
You're telling me, this dude was even faster than me?
A part of me would never believe it unless I saw it. A creature this big should not...

It was one thing to hear about death.
And another to witness death.
It was more horrifying than you would be willing to believe. It was like a cold grip on your heart that tightened with every movement you made. It was unreal.
But it was there, someone was dead. That's it.
Thier love, thier story, thier dreams, and thier memory. All of those came to an end. It was easy to understand but impossible to comprehend the absolute end.

The only drawback my eyes had was mental exhaustion.
This was completely reasonable because seeing so many things in detail and many others that normal eyes were never meant to see, any human brain would be overloaded with information.
When I was young, I would have to sleep at least 12 hours to deal with the mental exhaustion. But as time went on, the requirements became less and less.
Still, surviving on barely 5 hours of sleep a day would be harmf...

A face without flaw was a rare find when you have eyes like mine, and she was one of those rare finds. Even the parts you thought were flawed, when they came together on her, they made a very pretty face.

Here's an interesting fact.
I was ten times better at fighting humans than I was demons. If I were to fight against Yoriichi or Muzan, I believe my chances of victory against Yoriichi would be higher.
This was because of two reasons. Firstly, it was because humans could not use spells and they could not manipulate thier flesh on whims. This limitation of humans made my eyes extremely more effective against them compared to demons.
And also because I h...

Total concentration breathing or constant breathing.
It was when the user of a breathing style constantly used thier technique to enhance thier body at every moment. Be it night when they are sleeping, or day when they are eating.
They practised a constant purposeful breathing pattern which allowed them to stay superhuman. They heal better and they become stronger as well.
There were few even amongst the demon slayer who could use this advanced techni...

Fighting was like a conversation, where me and my opponent exchanged words in the language of the body.
With my eyes, I was able to perceive and most of the time, predict the movement/words of my opponents.
Movement has patterns, actions tell the past and the future.
But all of these went down the drain when I went against a Thunder Breather for the first time. I was caught completely off guard due to the sheer sp...
