"Whew!"

Standing on a mountain surrounded by mist, Micah exhaled deeply.

Then he closed his eyes and ran down the mountain.

As he ran, all kinds of traps and traps were constantly activated, and flying stones, flying woods, and all kinds of traps kept shooting at Micah, trying to block his progress.

However, in the face of these attacks, Michael's body kept dodging them as if he were an unpredictable prophet.

Then, as if he had everything under his control, he perfectly avoided the trap on the ground.

In Michael's constant running, no attack could hit his body.

At this moment, Micah mastered everything in the forest.

"Brush!"

Passing through the final jungle, Micah slowly stopped his steps.

Opening his eyes and looking at the hut in front of him, Michael's originally calm expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by an excited expression.

"I made it!"

Waving his arms excitedly, Micah jumped up excitedly.

Now, three months have passed since Micah began training as a demon slayer, and Micah is very satisfied with his growth in the past three months.

The reason why he was able to break through all the traps so smoothly was not only the hearing that he had been trained, but also the intuition that he had honed in the constant beatings.

Perhaps because of the constant injuries, one day, when he was about to be hit by a flying stone, Micah dodged it at the last moment through his instincts.

At this point, this very mysterious ability began to take root in Micah's body and gradually grew.

Micah was very satisfied with this sudden intuition.

Even though he was already far behind Tanjiro in training at this point, he didn't care.

Micah was well aware that he was always himself to be compared.

"At this point, Micah, your first stage of training on descent has been completed perfectly, so let's start the second stage from tomorrow."

Looking at the excited young man in front of him, although his tone was very flat, he was actually very excited when he hid his expression under the mask.

After his covert observation, he already knew what Micah was doing.

Although he felt that Micah might be overthinking, he would not let it interrupt his whims, after all, such training seemed feasible to him.

In that case, how could he stop the other party from becoming stronger?

All he could do was watch him silently and offer him some help.

Now, seeing that Micah has completed this training, Scales Zuo Jinji is also amazed for him in his heart.

This kid is a real genius.

"Yes! Mr. Scales! ”

Micah replied loudly.

Because of the reason for being left behind by Tanjiro in the training process, Micah already has a clear understanding of the so-called second stage.

The second phase of the downhill training is divided into two parts.

The first part is that traps in the mountains will become more dangerous.

Flying stones will be replaced with throwing knives, flying wood will be filled with sharp blades, and traps will be filled with iron thorns.

Once you get hurt, it's not a bump.

In the second part, Micah is about to start learning swordsmanship.

Micah was naturally very excited about this, after all, as a future member of the Ghost Slayer Team, how could he not know swordsmanship?

Although the future will be harder, Micah is full of passion for this continuous improvement of life.

...

“995，996，997，998，999，1000！”

With the swing of the last knife, Micha's sweat had already soaked the clothes all over his body.

As an old two-dimensional person who has read countless times, Micah has his own understanding of learning.

Every knife he wielded was his full strength.

Perhaps because of the intention to exercise his hearing, Micah's other five senses have also been improved to some extent.

Holding the sword in his hand and waving it constantly, Micah could clearly feel that the sword in his hand was becoming a part of his body.

This is a change brought about by Michael's sense of touch becoming more acute.

As he continued to swing his sword, the feeling became clearer and clearer.

Micah seemed to be able to feel the changes in each of his swords, making his wielding more perfect.

It can be seen that Micah did not waste those three months of sensory exercise.

This change may have a more far-reaching impact.

As the traps and traps in the mountains became more dangerous, Michael's instincts increased even faster.

After all, unlike the previous bumps, if these attacks were not perfectly dodged, they would really be seriously injured or even killed.

As for whether Scales Zuo would save himself in a moment of crisis, Micah had never thought about such a thing, or that he had deliberately forgotten about it.

He wants to immerse himself in danger and force his body to grow faster.

In fact, he did.

In the killing machines scattered all over the forest, Michael's perceptual ability continued to grow and evolve, allowing Micah to complete the second stage of cultivation at a very fast speed.

As for the third stage of traveling through the forest with a sword, Micah completed it more quickly.

With the support of his powerful perceptual ability, Micah's well-tempered body flexibly dodged all kinds of traps, even if he held a sword in his hand, it did not affect his movements in the slightest.

In this way, after half a year, Micah finally completed all the projects of the downhill training.

At this point, he also entered the next stage of training.

...

"Tanjiro, is your bean's condition improving?"

In the evening, Micah, who had finished his practice, passed by Tanjiro and Youdouko's room, and looked at Tanjiro, who was writing a diary in the room, and asked with concern.

Because of Tanjiro's excellence, he was already training further at this time, and because of the difference in the progress of the two people's cultivation, Micah and Tanjiro had long since stopped practicing in the same place.

So much so that the two of them couldn't see each other at all every day except for breakfast and dinner time.

"It's Micah, your beans are still the same, still asleep."

Hearing Micah's inquiry, Tanjiro stood up from the table, looked at the bean on the bed and replied in a low voice.

Not long after arriving here in the Narrow Foggy Mountains, You Beans fell into a coma.

Although Mr. Scales called a doctor at that time, the other party was obviously powerless about the situation of Youdouzi.

Therefore, Tanjiro is very worried every day.

He was afraid that when he woke up one morning, Youdouzi had died silently.

"Don't worry too much, I think Youdouzi will wake up safely."

"Don't forget, there is no other way to kill a ghost than to be decapitated by direct sunlight and special weapons."

"This shows how strong the life force of the ghost is, so you beans will not die so easily."

"Hmm!"

Hearing Micah's reassurance, Tanjiro finally lifted his spirits.

Looking at Tanjiro, who had become more scrappy again, Micah couldn't help but laugh.

Then he said seriously: "Tanjiro, I've completed the training down the mountain, and I'll catch up with you soon, don't be overtaken by me." ”

"Don't worry, Micah, I won't let you surpass the past so easily."

After this period of getting along, Micah and Tanjiro, who are of the same age, can't help but compare in secret.

Although Tanjiro had left Micah behind at this time, both of them knew that this gap would not be maintained until the end.

In the darkness of the night, under the light of candlelight, Micah and Tanjiro looked at each other.

Each other's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
