The Seven Deadly Sins of Hunter x Hunter

Meiji period, 1892, spring.

Saagiri Mountain.

In the mist-filled forest on the mountain top, Yilumi closed her eyes tightly, holding a sword on her waist. She held the scabbard with her left hand, her thumb against the jaw of the sword, her right index finger and middle finger tightly grasped the handle, and the other fingers loosely grasped it.

"Breathe~breathe~"

Yilumi's legs were slightly bent, his chest rose and fell slowly, his nasal cavity expanded and narrowed, and his long (rong three sounds) breathing echoed in the forest.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a sound cracking through the air came from the left.

In an instant, Ilumi pushed open the jaw of the knife with his left thumb, and with his right hand and left hand, he quickly pulled out the knife blade with a clang.

Turn around and slash with the sword.

"Ding~!"

The blade struck the incoming weapon with a "ding" sound and a "swish, swish, swish" sound in the air.

Finally, it fell to the ground with a "pop" sound. Ilumi's head tilted slightly, and it turned out that what struck him was a knife.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The next moment, multiple knives came towards him from all directions. Illumi quickly swung the knives and caught them one by one.

But as time went by, more and more sounds broke through the air. Some were knives, some were bamboo knives, some were hidden weapons, and some were just bamboo.

Ten, twenty, thirty.

"One Type·Water Slash!"

Facing the numerous weapons coming at her, Illumi crossed her arms and waved them horizontally in a circle.

"Ding Dang~!"

The first batch of weapons was shot down, but the second batch followed.

"Type II, water wheel!"

Ilumi jumped into the air and performed a backflip, and the knife quickly spun around as his body turned.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang..."

Dozens of weapons and concealed weapons were shot down.

"Wow!"

However, just as he shot down these weapons and hidden weapons, the surrounding ground was lifted up, branches in the air were broken, and dozens of giant trees came towards him carrying a large number of hidden weapons.

There were sounds of breaking the air on the ground, in the air, overhead, and in all directions.

"Hey, teacher, is this too much?"

Ilumi closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head slightly, and said with a grin.

Although he was teasing, his body was not idle either. He tilted his body to the right, as if he was about to fall. He pushed hard with his feet and his whole body was ejected to the right with a "swish".

At the same time, he held the knife in both hands, lying horizontally in front of him, and his body seemed to be moving rapidly along the path of a winding river.

"Three Types·Flowing Dance!"

"Swish, brush, brush, brush..."

In an instant, Ilumi seemed to have split into dozens of clones, blocking, shooting down, and counterattacking various weapons and hidden weapons coming from all directions.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang..."

"Pfft... click... nail..."

The sound of metal clashing caused by the collision of knives and knives, the sound of knives knocking down bamboo knives and falling to the ground, the sounds of knives splitting bamboo tubes and flicking away hidden weapons.

The sounds of four blows sounded one after another.

When the sound disappeared, Ilumi also opened her eyes.

"Da da……"

There was a sound of footsteps, and Sago Taki, still wearing a kimono with blue background and white clouds, walked out of the woods for the last time. He looked at Ilumi who was unharmed and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you are already very proficient in the ten sword styles of the Water Breathing Type."

"Especially the first three sword types, both the timing and strength of swinging the sword are perfect."

"Using the three forms of flowing dance to deal with the overwhelming attacks is even more eye-catching for me. It's a wonderful performance."

Nintaki Sakon first affirmed Illumi's sword skills, and then praised Illumi's timing and strength in swinging the first three sword styles. Finally, he praised him for using the three types of swords and the flow dance to deal with enemies from all sides.

Ilumi stood there, slowly sheathed his sword, and silently accepted the recent compliments given to him by Rintagisa.

"Huh~"

Ningtaki Sakon watched him put away his sword for the first time, sighed silently, and came to Ilumi.

"In half a year, I have nothing to teach you."

"You have good strength and excellent talent. I believe that the final selection this spring will be easy for you."

Ningtaki Sakonji raised his arms, slapped Illumi heavily on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Tomorrow, you can set off."

"Pass the final selection and officially become a Demon Slayer Swordsman."

After finishing speaking, Lintaki Zuojin turned around and walked down the mountain, and Ilumi followed suit.

According to the arrangement of the senior management of the Demon Slayer Corps, Illumi came to Mount Sagi to receive training, and it has been half a year.

During the past six months, he relied on his strong body and resilience as a ghost to practice day and night without sleep.

Half a year is equivalent to one year for ordinary people.

Coupled with his original strength and understanding of swordsmanship, he can learn the ten sword styles of the water breathing type much faster than an ordinary beginner.

I skipped the initial basic training, and then skipped the basic training of swordsmanship, and went directly to the practice of breathing method and water breathing swordsmanship, which saved a year.

And because he didn't need to rest and practiced day and night, he saved another half a year.

The original protagonist Tanjiro Kamado completed the training in two years, but he completed it in only half a year.

Now, he will go to Fujirai Mountain to participate in the final selection of the Demon Slayer Team in accordance with Nintaki Sakonji's instructions.

"Click..."

Lintaki Sakai opened the door for the last time, and the two of them stepped into the hut one after another.

"Crackling..."

The firewood has already been lit in the hut, and the fragrant broth is boiling in the iron pot. Looking next to it, there are all kinds of ingredients.

Pork, beef, fish fillets, mutton and other meats, as well as a whole bowl full of spices and a lot of vegetables.

"To celebrate the successful completion of your practice, I will use all the ingredients to cook you a delicious meal today."

Nintaki Sago walked over for the last time, picked up the ingredients and walked out of the room, placed the ingredients on the ground outside, and then returned to the house to pick up the ingredients.

"Don't just watch, come and help." When Rinataki Sakon passed by him carrying ingredients for the first time, he said: "The house is too small and not enough, so we will have a bonfire dinner outside tonight."

"You carry the two buckets in the house and go to the river to fetch water. You will use a lot of water to wash the ingredients tonight."

"is teacher."

Yilumi put down the knife, walked to the corner of the house, picked up the only two wooden buckets filled with water, and ran quickly towards the mountain pool.

Two hours passed, the sun set, and night fell.

"Crackling..."

In the dark night, the firewood burned fiercely, and the oil squeezed out of the barbecue dripped into the flames, causing sparks to float in the night sky.

"Well, Lao Chen's craftsmanship has improved a lot compared to half a year ago."

Recently, Nedaki Sa had taken off his mask and was holding a bunch of grilled steaks sprinkled with seasonings in his hand. He opened his mouth and tore off a large piece of meat, holding it in his mouth and chewing it hard.

"It should be due to the spices and condiments, teacher." Yilumi also skewered the barbecue in one hand and ate it with a mouth full of oil. "You are so dishonest, I can smell it."

"Hmph, your nose isn't as sharp as mine." Tsuna showed disdain for the last time, tearing off a large piece of roast meat again, chewing it, and said: "You don't need to practice tonight, just sleep well as a human body.

Just take a nap."

"Hmm..."

With his mouth full of barbecued meat, Ilumi could only nod his head with a "hmm" to show his understanding.

"By the way, you know how to drink." Lintaki picked up a jug next to him, put it in front of Ilumi, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a bonfire dinner, so drink as much as you can with me."

"No problem, teacher."

Ilumi tore off the last bit of meat on the skewers, picked up the wine bottle, put his thumb against the cork and flicked it, and the cork flew away with a "pop" sound.

"teacher."

Ilumi raised the wine bottle, and Ningtaki Saji also raised the wine bottle this time.

The old man and the young man held wine bottles and touched them lightly. Under the light of the campfire, they drank and ate meat and enjoyed the delicious food happily.

That night, Ilumi slept comfortably as a human for a long time.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly outside the window, and the sounds of flying insects, birds and beasts in the forest could be heard singing happily.

"It's already ten o'clock in the morning."

Yilumi habitually put her hand into the clothes beside the bed, took out her pocket watch, and took a look at the time.

"It's almost time to prepare to head to Tengxi Mountain."

Yilumi lifted up the quilt, stood up and said.
