Someone spoke at this time as if talking to himself.

This sentence was like a pebble falling into water, instantly causing ripples among everyone present.

"Yes, I'm obviously on guard every night, but I haven't even seen a ghost... Isn't it so strange?"

"Me too... I haven't seen a single ghost..."

"I have encountered a ghost, but before I could do anything, it suddenly turned into ashes..."

Hearing the various discussions among these people, Ubuya Shiki Amane glanced at Masaki, who was the first to come to the torii. After their eyes met, she turned her attention to everyone again and smiled.

"In short, as long as you pass the "final selection", all of you here will officially become a ghost-slaying swordsman!"

Xia Qing, who was still slightly nodding in agreement, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing the last few words.

"Um???"

Seeing the young man in black uniform suddenly making a sound, Uyashiki Amane turned to him with a smile.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"Ah no...no, I remembered something happy..."

Xia Qing also responded with a smile.

Then, after looking away, Ubuyashiki Amane continued to speak to everyone.

"First, you pay for the uniforms, then your body is measured and your class is engraved."

"There are ten classes in total, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui. You are now in the lowest Gui class."

Then, Ubuya Shiki Amane raised her slender and weak arm and made a gentle move.

"Today you will choose a jade steel blade. Your exclusive Nichirin Sword will be completed within ten to fifteen days, and there will be a raven following you from now on."

As soon as she finished speaking, the cry of crows sounded from the forest, and the crows covered with dark feathers flapped their wings and flew towards the shoulders of the swordsmen.

Xia Qing also looked at the crow flying on his shoulder with great interest. It was pure white and had a ring of black feathers on its neck. Its small head turned towards Xia Qing at this moment.

"Why do you feel like you are a little small compared to other eagle crows..."

Xia Qing looked at the turtle on his shoulder, and then looked at others. For example, the turtle standing on Zhen Yan's arm was of a normal size.

While Xia Qing was looking at Zhen Lian, the crow on its right shoulder let out a very familiar call.

"Cuckoo!"

"???"

Xia Qing stared blankly at the crow on his shoulder... or the pigeon...?

Except for the ring-shaped black feathers, the rest of the white feathers are very pure, just like the snow covering the mountain forest in winter. The rings are all thin, the head is round, the beak is short, the eyelids are golden, and the body is small.

When standing on his shoulders, Xia Qing could hardly feel any weight.

"The crow is mainly used for communication. It will convey the mission of destroying ghosts to the members of the Demon Slayer Squad."

At this time, after seeing that everyone already owned a raven, Ubuyashiki Amane continued.

"Then, please choose the steel stone to forge the blade over there. The steel stone to annihilate evil spirits and protect your own blade will be chosen by you personally."

After everyone came to a long table lying flat, the remaining nine swordsmen began to curiously observe the stones placed on the table.

"Okay, everyone, let's start choosing the steel stone to make your blades."

Following these words, everyone immediately began to make a serious choice.

Xia Qing didn't have any difficulty in choosing. He picked up a steel stone that looked pleasing to the eye and said.

"I've made my choice, this is it."

Ubuyashiki Amane nodded, and then ordered people to start registering Xia Qing's name.

After choosing the steel stone, everyone dispersed and left.

Zhenji also waved to Xia Qing as a farewell, and the petite figure gradually disappeared from sight.

——————————————

The sun was setting and it was almost dusk.

A refreshing cool breeze blew against my face. It seemed that the fatigue was relieved a lot at this moment, and every nerve in the body gradually relaxed.

The breeze blows, and ripples appear on the river, reflecting the bright red glow and shining brightly.

A bamboo forest in the distance shines with green light, and the bamboo leaves gently sway in the breeze. The rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves is like a moving melody.

The increasingly slanting sunlight stretched the boy's shadow longer and longer.

After returning to [Momoyama].

Xia Qing returned the Nichirin Sword to Kuwashima Jigoro. After seeing his return safe and sound, the old man's previously worried heart was completely relieved at this moment. A kind smile appeared on his face and he nodded towards Xia Qing. nod.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my disciple, not bad!"

Xia Qing replied.

"Isn't this what you taught me~"

"Well, you're right."

The old man rubbed his chin and nodded matter-of-factly.

Then, after Xia Qing returned to the wooden house he had built before, Kotonoye, who was cleaning as usual, happily flew towards Xia Qing.

"Great Xia Qing! You're finally back. I've been so worried these past few days. You're not injured, right...?"

Xia Qing shook his head.

"Fortunately, the ghosts in Tengxi Mountain are not very strong, so I didn't suffer any injuries, although my clothes were a little torn."

The woman's green eyes carefully looked at the uniform Xia Qing was wearing, and then she spoke.

"Take off your coat first, and leave the sewing and other tasks to me."

"Well, please."
