Anime: It starts from picking up a goddess by mistake

Chapter 6: The road down the mountain without hesitation

"No, I can't do it anymore. I'm going to die!"

Lying casually on the ground, Mika really couldn't muster any strength at this time.

After a day of rushing, Mika and Tanjiro finally followed Urokodaki Sakonji to where he lived at dusk.

As soon as they arrived at the destination, Mika lay on the ground and panted violently.

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

"In this way, Mika and I have passed."

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

In response, the former water pillar just responded calmly: "This is just the beginning."

"Ah!!!"

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

But now he just wanted to have a good sleep.

He was really too tired.

"Damn it, in terms of physical strength, there is a huge gap between me and Tanjiro, who has been selling charcoal for my family since childhood."

After the previous journey, Mika has realized the gap between himself and Tanjiro Kamado in physical strength.

Although he has exercised and honed his hunting skills, he does not have much advantage in physical strength.

On the contrary, Tanjiro, who has to inherit the family business of selling charcoal since childhood and take care of his mother and younger brothers and sisters, has to carry a full basket of coal down the mountain to sell every day.

After a long period of training, I am afraid that even those adults cannot compare with him in terms of physical strength.

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

Miga, who was lying quietly on the ground and thinking about what would happen next, used all his free time to constantly restore his physical strength.

Seeing this, Tanjiro stepped forward and took off the gift that Mika brought with him and put it in the room.

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

"Is the weakness physical strength?"

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded slightly.

Unlike the hesitant Tanjiro, Urokodaki Sakonji has recognized the more decisive Mika.

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

Therefore, Mika is actually qualified in his heart, but he did not immediately declare his qualification, he still wanted to see where the opponent's limit is.

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

Hearing the voice of Urokodaki Sakonji, Mika stood up immediately.

Compared with the previous tired appearance, Mika at this time seemed to have no fatigue.

Standing there straight.

"Are you okay, Mika."

Looking at Mika's pale face, Tanjiro asked with some concern.

"It's okay. I won't fall down before I pass the test of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Strengthening their tired bodies, Mika and Tanjiro followed Urokodaki Sakonji up the mountain.

Unlike before, the speed of the three people climbing the mountain this time was not very fast.

Urokodaki Sakonji gave Mika and the others enough time to rest, after all, the situation they would face next would be more difficult.

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

After all, the two had just run for a long time, and their physical strength had been exhausted at this time. Not falling down immediately was already a manifestation of strong will.

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

Sensing the state of his body, Mika's cognition of the surroundings is constantly improving.

Unlike Tanjiro's family who lives on the mountain and has a strong adaptability to the thin air environment.

Mika lives on the plain.

Therefore, Mika is more uncomfortable with this harsh environment than Tanjiro.

"Let's stop here!"

The sudden voice interrupted Mika's thinking. Urokodaki Sakonji looked at the two and said lightly: "Just return to the hut at the foot of the mountain from here, but I won't wait for you until dawn."

After that, his figure disappeared in the thick fog.

"Next, just follow me, Mika!"

As if he had found a way to pass the level, Tanjiro's face showed a surprised expression.

"Mr. Urokodaki 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. Urokodaki's scent."

Looking around the surrounding environment, Tanjiro explained happily.

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

"Then I'll leave it to you."

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

However, he will not rely entirely on Tanjiro to pass this test.

"In addition to the fog, we must also be careful of traps. I think the entrance examination for the candidate members of the Demon Slayer Corps should not be so simple."

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

Nodding seriously, Tanjiro turned around and ran quickly in the direction where Urokodaki Sakonji left his scent, and Mika followed closely behind him.

Soon, the true face of this exam was revealed.

Various traps are attacking Mika and Tanjiro from all directions.

"Tanjiro, watch your surroundings!"

"yes!"

Micah, who knew 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 laid, then Micah's ability to lay traps will be considered qualified.

But the environment here, perhaps because of training, has not arranged these traps too perfectly recently.

But in fact, he didn'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 your 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 point, it won't be a matter of whether we 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!"

"Rush forward with confidence and don't look back. 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 running like this would be painful.

But Micah no longer cares about these.

He had to protect his head with both hands in time to prevent his head from being hit and causing him to faint, which would affect his exam.

As for the rest of the body?

No need to care!

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.
