Chapter 05 Onward to Mount Fujikasane

I went home and reported to granny about my latest hunt.

"Granny I'm home. I already cleaned (killed) the trash (demon)." (Shin)

"Welcome back kid. How was it? Any injury? " (Pinako)

"Well it was the usual, it was easy that it (demon) didn't touch a single thread of my garments." (Shin)

"Well that's good. Now that your done, take a bath while I prepare some food." (Pinako)

"Okay. Thanks granny. " (Shin)

I went to the bathroom and room a bath, eat dinner and went to sleep. Life continues as there were no incidents, a very normal days passed. As I continued swinging my sword as exercise, granny called me for an important news.

"Shin, you've been staying here for 2 years. I would like it to be that way but you still having that revenge idea on your head. So in order to achieve such idea, I would like to propose on becoming an official Demon Slayer. With your strength, becoming one would be easy and it will help you more. " (Pinako)

"Yeah. I've been training and hunting this whole time like a rouge slayer. It's time for me to join the Demon Slayer Corp." (Shin)

"(Sigh) I see. As you know Demon Slayer Corp is open to everyone, as long as you have the strength. You see, the Demon Slayer Corp has a test for those who wants to join that they call Final Selection. This test is held in Mount Fujikasane where full of Wisteria blooms. As you know Wisteria is a poison to demons, with Wisteria all around the mountain which serve as the perfect prison for demons. The Demon Slayer imprisoned some of the demons for the participant of Final Selection to gain experience. However as you know demons are stronger than regular human which cause a lot of participant to not return. Final Selection itself is a brutal test." (Pinako)

"I see. So when is it? " (Shin)

"A month later. Well Mount Fujikasane is a week walk from here." (Pinako)

"Thank you granny. I'll start preparing." (Shin)

I went outside and started some light training. Preparing all the things I needed I put them in the pocket universe. How? Simple, I unlocked the pocket universe because of what happened. You know when the system used Soul Stone on Karina's soul the connection between me and the system got stronger so now I can use the pocket universe as a storage space. The system can also modify the things that I send there. For example is my Nichirin katana that granny gave. The Nichirin katana broke when I first fought demon. The blade wasn't able to endure my strength as I was a long stronger than normal human and also the katana itself is old which means that it had been used. When I broke it, the system informed me that it can repair and strengthen the katana which was my first time hearing of. The system then explained that because of my recklessness, the system and my connection becomes even stronger and I had now an access towards the pocket universe. I can only store small objects in there. And the system can repair enhance or even make things. Like the sheath of my katana which was created by system optimising Ripple energy conduction.

After storing all the stuff, I went to granny to bid farewell.

"Thank you for everything granny." (Shin)

"There's no need to thank Shin, I just helped because I don't want you to experience the horrible things I have and I also helped out of pity." (Pinako)

"Regardless I am still thankful for that. Then granny I'm going." (Shin)

"Be careful out there. You can always come here." (Pinako)

I walked out the inn and waved at granny before leaving towards Mount Fujikasane.
