Animeverse Slayer!

Demons, an evil that plague the world has existed for over a thousand years. Records indicate that the first demon appeared a thousand year ago and he is the only one capable of creating others of his kind.

Over the course of a millennia this demon has gone by many forms and names however his true name was known to all Demon Slayers, Kibutsuji Muzan.

It has been the creed of Demon Slayers to find him and kill him to end the nightmare that started a millennium ago. Countless young men and women died for that creed.

The developing world still lives in ignorance while Demon Slayers lay their life for them. Only those who have lived through this nightmare carry the weight to defend against such vile creatures.

The government has never officially accepted Demon Slayer Corps but those in power knew their importance, how they hold up the world with blood and death.

It has been a tradition to select new Demon Slayers and grant them an official position within the Demon Slayer Corps if they live through the Final Selection. Young men and women from all parts of these lands gather to pass this selection and be officially be recognised as a Demon Slayer.

This is not only because of Nichirin Swords that are said to possess mystical powers but also due to the resources of the Corps. With the Corps backing them up Demon Slayers could gather information, pass them, give support and make accurate judgements based on clues provided.

"Hmm, if that passerby was correct it should be right around here... Ah, there it is."

A young man about fourteen was walking along a cleared path with a sword by his waist. He had black hair and crystal clear blue eyes. He held an inexplicable m.a.t.u.r.e charm to him contrary to his age, though he wasn't the most handsome men around he would surely catch any lady's attention in a few years.

It's been slightly more than a year since Leo started his journey. Along the way he came across many demons, most of them were weak but some of them were life threatening. However fortune comes with disaster.

Constant battle had bought him invaluable experience and made his body stronger.

Leo was currently trying to find his way to the Final Selection. From what Akira told him it should be a mountain filled with Wisteria, a type of flower hated by demons and that's what was infront of him.

"I have never seen a mountain covered in Wisteria, it's quite the sight."

A huge expanse of slightly darker rose flowers with a tint of purple covered his sight. He felt oddly at ease as he walked through the dense expanse of Wisteria.

After some time he came across a flight of stairs and walked up. The orientation ground at the top had about twenty three participants. Leo's arrival didn't garner any attention, all of them were focused and waiting for the test to begin.

Scanning all the other participants Leo nodded his head. Among these people one boy caught his attention.

His soul has colour, he is strong.

The past year had helped Leo to understand his ability thoroughly. The condition of a spirit can tell him many things about a person.

For example, this person he just sensed. His spirit was like still water, indicating calm and serenity, only someone who has tempered themselves can have such a spirit. And his spirit was completely blue in colour.

A normal persons spirit would be a mass of white light. If this mass of white light is tainted with colour then it indicates that they can do Breathing Techniques.

According to what he understood thus far, an entry level person would have a portion of his spirit covered in a certain type of colour depending on their respective Breathing Techniques.

As their mastery increase, the colour will spread through their spirit and one day completely cover it. And this person he was looking at had a spirit completely covered in blue, which means he has mastered his Breathing Technique.

Sensing someone's gaze that person looked in Leo's direction. For a moment both of them stared at each other before that person walked in Leo's direction.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Sabito, this is my friend, Tomioka Giyu."

Leo looked past Sabito and scanned a boy with black hair, Tomioka Giyu.

It was only now Leo noticed Giyu. He was surprised that he didn't notice this guy's spirit. His spirit wasn't fully coloured like Sabito's, only partially but the colour was much deeper.

A deeper colour would indicate deeper understanding of Breathing Techniques.

"Hello, I am Leo. Sorry for staring like that, you guys looked strong, unlike the rest."

Sabito was a young boy with peach coloured hair and a scar across his right cheek. However he was kind and passionate.

"It's alright. You didn't have any malicious intent so we are cool. Giyu, say something."

Sabito smiled and nudged Giyu. Showing an embarrassed smile Giyu bowed slightly.

The three of them hit it off pretty well. Soon the sun was setting across the horizon.

A woman wearing a kimono came out holding a lamp. She had white hair adorned with a beautiful flower hairpin. To her side stood two men wearing black dress with their faces covered.

"Everyone... thank you for coming here tonight, to the Demon Slayer Corps Final Selection."

It was quite pleasing to hear her voice. Leo and the rest listened to her as she explained how the Final Selection will proceed.

"There are demons imprisoned here on Mt. Fujikasane, captured alive by Demon Slayer Swordsmen, and unable to leave."

"That is because Wisteria, which demons hate so much, blooms year-round from the bottom to halfway up the mountain."

"However, there is no Wisteria from this point on, and so Demons abound."

"You'll need to survive here for seven days to pass the Final Selection."

"And now, be on your way."
