Chapter 9 Cultivation

"call!"

Standing on the mountain surrounded by mist, Micah took a deep breath.

Then, he closed his eyes and ran down the mountain.

As he ran, various traps and traps were constantly activated. Flying rocks, flying wood, and various traps kept shooting at Micah, trying to hinder his progress.

However, in the face of these attacks, Micah's body continued to dodge them like a prophet.

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

During Micah's constant running, no attack could hit his body.

At this moment, Micah had control of everything in the forest.

"brush!"

After passing through the last jungle, Micah slowly stopped.

Opening his eyes and looking at the hut in front of him, Micah's original calm expression disappeared instantly and was replaced by an excited expression.

"I succeeded!"

Waving his arms excitedly, Micah jumped up excitedly.

Today, it has been three months since Micah started training as a ghost swordsman, and Micah is very satisfied with his growth in these three months.

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

Perhaps because of constant injuries, one day, when he was about to be hit by a flying rock, Micah used his intuition to avoid it at the critical moment.

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

Micah was very satisfied with this sudden intuition.

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

Micah knew very well that the object of comparison was always himself.

"So far, Micah, your first phase of training on going down the mountain has been completed perfectly. Let's start the second phase from tomorrow."

Looking at the excited young man in front of him, although his tone was very calm, in fact, the expression hidden under the mask was actually very excited.

Through his secret observation, he already knew what Micah was doing.

Although he felt that Micah might be thinking too much, he would not interrupt his whim because of this, after all, this kind of training was feasible in his opinion.

If that's the case, then why would he stop the other party from becoming stronger?
All he could do was watch him silently and provide him with some help.

Now, seeing that Mika has completed this training, Nintaki Sakonji is also amazed by him in his heart.

This kid is a true genius.

"Yes! Mr. Lintaki!"

Micah responded loudly.

Because he was left behind by Tanjiro in the training process, Mika already knew the so-called second stage very clearly.

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

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

The flying stones will be replaced by flying knives, the flying wood will be full of sharp blades, and the traps will be full of iron thorns.

Once you are injured, it is no longer a bumpy situation.

And the second part is that Micah is about to start learning swordsmanship.

Micah was naturally very excited about this. After all, as a future member of the Demon Slayer Corps, how could he not know how to use a sword?

Although the future will be even harder, Micah is full of passion for this ever-improving life.

"995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000!"

With the final swing of the knife, Micah's clothes had already been soaked with sweat.

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

Every sword he wielded was with all his strength.

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

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

This is the change brought about by Micah's sense of touch becoming more acute.

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

Micah seemed to be able to feel every change in his sword, making his swing more perfect.

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

This change may have a more far-reaching impact.

After the traps and traps in the mountains became more dangerous, Micah's intuition improved faster.

After all, unlike the previous collisions, if these attacks are not dodged perfectly, you will really be seriously injured or even die.

As for whether Nintaki Sato would save him in a critical moment this time, Mika had never thought about such a thing, or he deliberately forgot about it.

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

In fact, he really did.

Amid the murderous intentions scattered throughout the forest, Micah's perception ability continued to grow and evolve, allowing Micah to complete the second stage of practice at an extremely fast speed.

As for the third stage of walking through the forest with a sword, Micah completed it even faster.

With the support of his powerful perception ability, Micah's well-tempered body flexibly avoided various traps. Even if he held a sword in his hand, it did not affect his movements at all.

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

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

"Tanjiro, has Nezuko's condition improved?"

In the evening, after finishing his training, Mika passed by Tanjiro and Nezuko's room, looked at Tanjiro who was writing a diary in the room, and asked with concern.

Because of Tanjiro's excellence, he was already undergoing further training at this time. Also because of the different progress of their training, Mika and Tanjiro no longer practiced at the same place.

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

"It's Micah, Nezuko is still the same, still asleep."

Upon hearing Mika's question, Tanjiro stood up from the table, looked at Nezuko on the bed and responded in a low voice.

Not long after arriving at Mount Saagiri, Nezuko fell into a coma.

Although Mr. Lintaki called a doctor at that time, there was obviously nothing he could do about Nezuko's situation.

Therefore, Tanjiro is very worried every day.

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

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

"Don't forget, there is no other way to kill a ghost except direct sunlight and beheading with a special weapon."

"This shows how strong the vitality of ghosts is, so Nezuko will not die so easily."

"Ok!"

After hearing Micah's comfort, Tanjiro finally cheered up.

Looking at Tanjiro who became more motivated again, Mika couldn't help but laugh.

Then he said seriously: "Tanjiro, I have completed the training down the mountain. I will catch up with you soon. Don't let me surpass you."

"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 similar in age, can't help but compare themselves secretly.

Although Tanjiro had already left Mika behind at this time, both of them knew that this gap would not last until the end.

In the dark night, under the shadow of candlelight, Micah and Tanjiro looked at each other.

Each other's eyes are full of fighting spirit.
