questioned Izuku, staring at the long black haired lady.

The wisterias glistened under the bright round moon as Izuku stared in awe. Never in his lifetime had he seen so much wisteria in one place. It was a whole knew experience as he caressed a bundle in his hands.

Izuku walked up the long flight of concrete stairs, scanning around the area to find any strong participants. From what Kanae told him, there would usualy be 3-5 people surviving final selection each year as it decreases each year.

The only auras that stood out to Izuku a yellow haired boy with tones of bruises, a human with a ... boar? mask , another that looks like a gangster with a large scar going diagonally across his face and finally, Kanao, the tsugoku of the flower hashira along with him.

Despite living in the same building with Kanao for over 3 years now, Izuku still wasn't able to break her out of her shell, still having her emotionless facade. However, Kanao did warm up to Izuku in some way , she talks a little more than someone she just met.

Just then, two girls- wait no!.. one boy and on girl walked side by side as they simultaneously greeted all the participants. The moment the siblings finished talking, the test started as Izuku ran straight through the gates.

Vanishing as he couldn't be tracked by a naked eye, his main priority was to stay alive and save all the people. If Izuku couldn't save people in his old world anymore, he'd do it here, as a secret hero within the demon slayers.

Unlike how he started of, he didn't really care about the demons anymore as he swiftly and brutally murdered them all without a second though. Izuku had learnt a valuable lesson over these few years as to never let your guard down against a demon and to never hesitate or give them a change to kill you.

Just because Izuku didn't listen to those rules the first few months, many lives where costed that time. He kept blaming himself because if he hadn't pitied the demons, they would've been alive to this day.

This turned Izuku into a cold hearted person that wouldn't hesitate to kill a demon no matter the size, age or looks. Making him into an ultimate killer machine for the demons.

- killed 35 demons

- killed 28 demons

- Approached zero demons

- Encounter with the hand demon-

questioned Izuku, glaring at the big green blob with disgust, hands gripping onto the handle of his nichirin blade.

exclaimed the green blob with glee.

'Urokodaki? Wasn't that the former water pillar Kanae told me about, why does this have anything to do with him?' Izuku confusingly thought.

continued the demon.

Anger bubbled in Izuku as veins appeared all over him, instantly dissapearing just as quick as it came. He took multiple deep breaths, recited about one of Kanae's lessons, never let anger control your actions.

Demons tend to try and make slayers angry so killing them could be easier as they take action without thinking of the consequences.

Izuku took the first initiation as he suddenly appeared in front of the demon, floating high up into the air. The hand demon grinned behind all his hand, sending 5 towards izuku, waiting for the magnificent sound of bone crushing. They aimed in all directions, closing in on izuku who still had a calm expression.

muttered Izuku as he slashed multiple time without the demon detecting it. Deflecting every hand that came his way as he rocketed towards the hand demon's face.

Twisting his body, he swung his sword up as Izuku put all his strength in his arms, slashing down right into the demons neck.

'No worries, my neck is tough, as soon as his sword breaks from impact, I'll crush his head to pieces' thought the hand demon

Izuku yelled, slicing through the demons neck like butter. 'This is for you, Urokodaki!' Izuku said in his mind right after.

A bewildered expression fell on the decapitated demon before he started to cry after the sudden memory of his time as a human appeared. The last thing before he withered away was the blank face Izuku had directed to him.

a ghostly voice said behind Izuku as he hastily turned around, only to have seen a disappearing figure of 13 teenagers, in which two of them were far more clear.

One had peach hair with a large scar going from his cheeks to his lips while the other had a petite figure with blackish blue shoulder length hair.

Izuku wasn't able to identify much as they disappeared into thin air, leaving him dumbfounded before continuing his slaughter.

spoke the two siblings

Not even a second past before everyone positioned themselves in a low bow, lining up in a straight line. Izuku was one of them as he was right in the middle.

After he was able to become a hashira just below 2 months, beating both muichiro's (the mist hashira) and gyomei's (the stone hashira) records, the total amount of hashiras in the demon slayer corps turned to 11.

It's the highest amount so far over the centuries as not many people know about the corps, due to it not being recognized by the government. Making the number of people partaking in the final selection deteriorate every year.

The current hashiras were Kanae, Shinobu, Giyuu Tomiaka, Kyojuro Rengoku, Obanai Iguro, Mitsuri Kanroji, Himejime Gyomei, Muichiro Tokito, Tengen Uzui, Shinizugawa Sanemi and Izuku.

After he had past final selection, the twins made him Mizunoe due to him killing all the demons after the fourth day as an unusual amount of 16 participants where able to survive.

Izuku quickly rose up the ranks as his battles with demons went abnormally quick, ending up with getting his mission done. This allowed him to kill more than 143 demons in total during the span of 2 months.

He was also able to kill lower moon 4 as he accidentally encountered her in one of his missions. To Izuku's surprise, he didn't find it as hard as he thought to kill a lower moon and was able to efficiently defeat it, turning him into an official hashira.

greeted Kagaya with a soft and soothing voice that instantly made all the hashiras less tense.

Before anyone could argue who speaks up, Sanemi butted in and greeted back as he prayed for his health. Earning some unnoticeable glares from the other hashiras as everybody slowly stood up.

Izuku smiled gently, he watched all this happen, for the first time in his life, he thought that this might not be so bad. Though, what concerned him the most was the fact that he hasn't grown an inch since he arrived at in this world, despite being here for a little over 3 years.

By now, all the hashiras have noticed, Izuku was lucky that none of them asked him directly because he still hasn't found a good enough lie to cover it up.

Now about a year from now, Izuku was going to meet Tanjiro, and that's when everything changes as big events start to play out.

Izuku was going to look forward to it, after all,
