Chapter 6 The Downhill Road Without Hesitation
"No, I can't, I'm going to die!"

Lying casually on the ground, Micah really couldn't lift it up at this time.

After a day of traveling, Micah and Tanjiro finally followed Nintaki Sakonji to the place where he lived at dusk.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Micah lay on the ground panting violently.

Tanjiro beside him was also kneeling on the ground exhausted at this moment, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"In this way, Micah and I will be qualified."

Looking at Nintaki Sakonji who opened the door, Tanjiro asked innocently.

To this, the former Shuizhu just responded calmly: "This is just the beginning."

"Ugh!!!"

Unlike Tanjiro who was shocked, Mika naturally knew that there would be an assessment next.

But now he just wants to have a good sleep.

He was so tired.

"Damn it, in terms of physical strength, there is a huge gap between me and Tanjiro, who has been helping our family sell charcoal since he was a child."

After the previous rush, Mika had already recognized the physical gap between himself and Kamado Tanjiro.

Although he had exercised and honed his hunting skills, he didn't have much of an advantage in terms of physical strength.

On the contrary, Tanjiro has inherited the family business of selling charcoal since he was a child. He also takes care of his mother and younger siblings. He has to carry a basket full of charcoal down the mountain to sell it every day.

After a long period of training, even those adults may not be able to compare with him in terms of physical strength.

But if he didn't have such physical strength, he wouldn't be able to carry his sister around on his back.

Lying quietly on the ground and thinking wildly, Micah, who knew what would happen next, used all his spare time to continuously restore his physical strength.

Upon seeing this, Tanjiro on the side stepped forward, took off the bow Micah carried, and put it into the room.

After arranging his sister in the room, he followed Nintaki Sakonji out of the house and came to Micah's side.

"Is your weakness physical strength?"

Ryotaki Zuo nodded slightly for the next time.

Unlike the hesitant Tanjiro, Rinaki Sakonji has already recognized the more decisive Micah.

Physical strength is not a problem in his eyes, after all, these can be practiced.

Therefore, Micah was actually qualified in his mind, but he did not declare his qualification immediately. He also wanted to see where the opponent's limits were.

"Let's go, the next step is your real test."

Hearing Rinaki Zuo's voice next time, Mikadang even stood up.

Compared with the tired appearance before, Micah at this time does not seem to have any fatigue.

Stand there straight.

"Are you okay, Micah?"

Looking at Mika's pale face, Tanjiro asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, I won't fall until I pass the test of the Ghost Killing Team."

Holding on to their exhausted bodies, Mika and Tanjiro followed the footsteps of Nintaki Sakonji and walked up the mountain.

Unlike before, this time the three of them climbed the mountain not very fast.

Zuo Rinaki recently gave Micah and Micah enough time to rest. After all, the situation that the two of them will have to face next will be even more difficult.

But even so, Mika and Tanjiro were extremely painful in the process of climbing the mountain.

After all, the two of them had just run for a long time, and their physical strength had already been drained. It was a sign of strong will that they did not fall down immediately.

"I'm so tired, my legs are so heavy, and my brain is getting muddled. The oxygen here seems to be very thin!"

Perceiving the state of the body, Micah's understanding of the surroundings is constantly improving.

Unlike Tanjiro's family who live in the mountains, they are very adaptable to the environment with thin air.

The place where Micah lived was on the plain.

Therefore, for this harsh environment, Micah is more uncomfortable than Tanjiro.

"Let's go here!"

The sudden sound interrupted Mika's thinking. Ningtaki Sakonji looked at the two of them and said calmly: "You can just go back to the hut at the foot of the mountain from here, but I won't wait for you until dawn."

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the thick fog.

"Follow me next, Micah!"

It seemed that he had found a way to clear the level, and Tanjiro had an expression of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Lintaki may want to test our ability to distinguish directions in the fog. This is very easy for me. Through my keen sense of smell, I can clearly smell Mr. Lintaki's scent."

Looking around at the surrounding environment, Tanjiro happily explained.

For Tanjiro, who is eager to join the Demon Slayer Corps and gain the ability to fight evil spirits, being able to easily pass the test is definitely something worth celebrating.

"Then leave it to you."

Unlike Tanjiro, Micah does not have the ability to distinguish directions in the fog, so he can only rely on Tanjiro in this regard.

However, he won't rely entirely on Tanjiro to pass this exam.

"In addition to the fog, you must also be careful of traps. I think the entrance exam as a candidate member of the Demon Slayer Corps will not be so simple."

"I understand, I will always pay attention to my surroundings."

With a serious nod, Tanjiro turned around, faced the direction where Nintaki Sakonji left his scent, and ran away quickly, with Mika following closely behind him.

Soon, the true nature of this exam was revealed.

Various traps are attacking Mika and Tanjiro from all directions.

"Tanjirou, watch your surroundings!"

"Yes!"

Micah, who had known there would be a trap, easily dodged the first wave of machine attacks, and the attacks of flying rocks and trees were wiped out.

Then he easily saw through the traps on the ground and dodged them skillfully.

To be honest, these traps are not that difficult for Micah to deal with.

After all, having been trained by a hunter, what he is best at is setting traps, and as he learns to set traps, his ability to see through traps is also rapidly improving.

And when he can no longer see through the traps he has set, then Micah's ability to set traps is considered qualified.

But the environment here, perhaps because of training, Rinaki Zuojinci did not arrange these traps too perfectly.

But in fact, he doesn't need to arrange these traps perfectly.

Because Micah, who was running at this time, had no extra energy to observe the surrounding environment.

If he wanted to run back down the mountain before the sun rose, Micah would have to run the whole distance.

At this time, the most important thing to pay attention to is the feet.

Running quickly from the mountain to the bottom, if you don't pay attention to your steps, you will fly out at any time.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether you can run back on time.

Moreover, Micah was extremely exhausted at this time. He was at the lowest point in his life, both physically and mentally.

At this moment, even if he could detect the trap in time, he would not be able to escape safely.

"I'm sorry, Micah, I may not be able to take care of you anymore."

Tanjiro, who was already exhausted like Mika, was leading the way and suddenly said this.

In his voice, Micah heard apology and self-condemnation.

Perhaps, he had been thinking about how to help Micah before.

But in fact, he can no longer take care of himself now.

Hearing Tanjiro's apologetic voice, Mika was very angry.

Why are you apologizing and what does this have to do with you.

It's obviously me who should apologize.

Facing Tanjiro's apology, Mika shouted loudly: "Then leave me alone! This is not just your own exam, it's also my exam!"

"Rest forward with confidence, don't look behind, I will follow you closely."

"Don't underestimate me, I must join the Demon Slayer Corps!"

After roaring at Tanjiro, Mika used all his strength and quickened his pace again, closing the distance between himself and Tanjiro.

He will never let himself be thrown away by the other party.

Even if it makes it more difficult for him to predict the location of traps.

But these are no longer important.

Can't avoid traps?Then don’t hide.

Micah focused on the traps on the ground in case he tripped and stalled.

At the same time, he raised his hands slightly to bring them closer to his head, even though it would be painful to run like this.

But Micah no longer cares about these.

He had to protect his head with his hands in time, in case his head was hit and he fainted, affecting his exam.

As for the rest of the body?
Never mind!

Even if he was seriously injured, as long as he was not killed here, Micah would keep running until he returned to the hut at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the road ahead that was shrouded in fog and Tanjiro who kept dodging traps, Mika became more determined.

I will definitely pass the test.

absolute!
