———————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
1st POV | Ren's POV |
The next day came...and I stood amidst the dancing Wisteria petals on a stone platform surrounded by Wisteria trees...
In front of me, all of the Hashiras with their drawn swords, facing me in their respective stances, blades glistening by the sunlight..
"You, go!" I pointed to Uzui Tengen, the Sound Hashira, while pointing my wooden sword at him.
I saw his eyes tremble before excitedly shouting and rushing out, "How Flamboyant!" Uzui disappeared from my sight and vanished as a sound like fireworks erupted.
Our blades clashed, my wooden sword against his giant Nichirin cleavers, of course, wooden cannot fight against metal equally, so I enchanted it to be even harder than steel by using Verlangen.
"Amazing!" With one flick of my wrist, I put enough force and threw him back as he slid, digging his feet into the stone platform.
"This is interesting!" I kept observing his breathing, his stance, his posture as my
I gradually comprehended the Sound Breathing style and the Total Concentration Breathing. I synced my posture, breathing, and stance as him, mirroring him in his every single move..
"Copying me?" Uzui asked as I said nothing and reared up.
—Whish! Booom! Clang! Clang!
[{The user holds their twin swords apart and spins them rapidly around themselves, enabling the blades to destroy anything it makes contact with for powerful defensive capabilities around the user.}]
Within one breath, both of us disappeared from our positions and met at the middle, our blades clashing furiously that sounds like the booming fireworks in the summer.
Sparks appeared as our blades clashed against one another in rapid succession, blow after blow, my attacks began to become heavier as I applied more pressure.
—Bang!
With one final blow, I struck hard, hard enough to make Uzui's lower body get dug unto the floor.
"Kuh! How flamboyant!" Uzui said before getting out of the hole and patted himself, I didn't go too hard to not injure him, so I deliberately weakened my force towards end of the strike.
"The rest of you, attack me together!" I turned to look at the rest of the other Hashiras standing by the side, watching us spar and fight.
And as soon as I said that, all of them rushed at me..

3rd POV |
Ren stood upon the beaten and bruised bodies of the Hashira whom he had just defeated and copied their Breathing styles.. Even Mitsuri and Shinobu, his sword is rated E for everybody..
"I think that's it, the only thing to learn now is Tanjiro's Hinokami Kagura to learn Sun Breathing and then learn Transparent World.." Ren muttered to himself as he left the stone platform that the Hashiras were unconscious in as the Kakushi dragged them to the Butterfly Mansion to recuperate..
Ren teleported back to the house that him and Lucien had been staying at, the house was right beside the Butterfly Mansion.
"What's up!" Lucien greeted Ren as he saw him enter through the door.
"Nothing, so..wanna find Muzan?"
"Oh oka-, Wait what?! Isn't that the final boss?!" Lucien did a double-take as he heard the ridiculous thing that Ren said.
"I thought you said nothing was up?!"
"Nothing was up, I just thought of what we can do right now" Ren replied with a casual comment.
Lucien grew silent as he contemplated his decision, "Can I say no?" Ren just bobbed his head side to side slightly indicating that Lucien can't refuse.
"Haaah.."
"Don't worry, I'll be the one fighting him mainly, just support me with your magic, we'll make easy work since my Light magic seems to be very effective against them.." Ren explained briefly.
"Hoo..I-okay..I can't refuse anyway.." Lucien just ceded and grabbed his sling bag and prepared to go out.
"How are we going to get there? Don't tell me we're gonna teleport there?!" Lucien had a horrified expression as he remembered the ill-feeling of teleportation, it's like sea sickness, car sickness, and motion sickness all at once and amplified 10 times.
"That's exactly what we're doing" In a quick second, Ren closed the distance between him and Lucien and held his shoulder as he said in a low voice.
"Wai—!!" Lucien tried to shout in protest but both of them had already disappeared and warped away.
In forest filled with dark oak trees covered with a white expanse of snow, two guys reappeared in an open space, Ren and Lucien.
"—Euuoggh!" Lucien's sentence was completed by him gagging and throwing up on the ground.
"Sorry, it's a lot faster this way.." Ren said to Lucien who finished throwing up.
—Rustle!
Ren and Lucien were both alerted and looked towards the source of the sound, a moving bush.
"H-hello! Can I ask why you're in the woods near our house?" A boy that had a large flame-like birthmark on his face with reddish brown hair carrying a basket of coal, got out of the bushes.
"We are travelers who journeys, we're just trying to find a place to take shelter in before night falls" Ren explained as he thought of a lie to not seem suspicious on why he showed up suddenly.
"Is that so? Then you can stay at our house" The boy, who Ren knows as Tanjiro, gladly offered the two of them to stay at his family's house.
"Then we'll take you up in that offer" Ren agreed as Tanjiro led them to a small dirt path with snow covering the sides.
Soon, the trio reached their destination, a small and traditional Japanese house in the middle of the mountain's forest.
"I'm back!" Tanjiro shouted outside of the house as the door opened.
"Welcome back! Onii!" A young immature voice shouted as people came out of the door.
"Ara, There are guests, everybody be polite" A mature voice then followed up as we saw all of the people who came out.
The people who came out was the Kamado family which consisted of 5 children and a mature woman with the dead mom hairstyle..
