Comprehensive manga: Starting from picking up a goddess by mistake on the ground

Chapter 7 Pass the Test
In a hut at the foot of Sagiri Mountain.

The slightly dim oil lamp in the dark night reflected the figure of Nedaki Sakonji on the wall.

At this time, he was sitting quietly on his knees in the room, silently looking at Nezuko, who was sleeping peacefully in front of him.

At the same time, he was also waiting for the final results of the exam on the mountain.

Hiding his face in the Tengu mask, he kept thinking about whether Tanjiro could return on time and whether Mika could survive intact.

He didn't know any of this.

It wasn't until the messy footsteps sounded outside the house that his originally calm figure wavered slightly.

With the sound of the wooden door being opened, Tanjiro Kamado appeared in front of him, covered in tatters and with scratches on his face.

After saying "I'm back", he knelt down on the ground holding on to the door frame.

Looking at this scene, Lintaki Sakonji couldn't help but feel shaken.

He retracted his previous opinion.

This kid has the character to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He stood up and stared at Kamado Tanjiro, just when he was about to announce something, Tanjirou's voice suddenly sounded.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lintaki, wait for Micah, he is right behind."

Tanjiro's face was full of pleading.

Micah?

Will he be back before the sun rises?
According to what Nintaki Saru recently learned about Micah's physical condition, he probably won't be able to come back on time.

In Nintaki Sakonji's mind, Mika's qualifications are still above Kamado Tanjiro's, but due to the different living environment before, his physical fitness is temporarily not as good as Kamado Tanjiro's.

In fact, he had already passed the recent test of Rinataki Saru.

Let him participate in this test just to let him experience the difficulty of the following training in advance.

He did not place any hope that the other party would return on time.

After all, his physical fitness was clearly visible to Sakonji Kintaki.

But faced with Kamado Tanjiro's pleading expression, he finally fell silent and waited for Mika's return.

Just like that, after waiting silently for more than ten minutes, Rinaki Zuojinji suddenly said: "The sun is about to rise."

As a mountain person who has lived here for decades, Nintaki Sasa knows very well the times when the sun rises at different times here.

After hearing what Nintaki Sakonji said, Tanjiro's expression became more and more panicked.

When faced with the difficult situation on the mountain before, he was too busy taking care of himself to help Micah, which made him very regretful.

After all, in his heart, Micah has always been helping him.

Even when they didn't know him, they were willing to shoot arrows at the powerful swordsman in order to help their brothers and sisters, risking their own life and death.

This made him very upset, and this led to the conversation on the mountain.

Then Micah's roar made him realize that Micah didn't need his troubles and he could persevere.

With trust in Micah, Tanjirou stopped paying attention to what was behind him, and devoted himself to the exam before him.

Finally, he returned to the cabin before dawn.

But there was no trace of Micah behind him.

Hearing the announcement from Sakonji Nintaki, he suddenly realized that Mika might be eliminated.

Not knowing that Micah had already passed through Konji's mind, he became very frightened.

Just when he wanted Dogeza to pray to Rintaki Sakonji to give Mika another chance, a scratching sound suddenly came from outside the door.

This sound was obviously different from Tanjiro's previous footsteps.

But even so, the sound made the two people in the room tremble.

"Micah!"

Tanjiro quickly turned around and looked outside the house. What caught his eye was Micah crawling on the ground.

At this time, Micah no longer had the strength to walk.

Moreover, he suffered much more damage than Tanjiro.

Looking at this scene, Tanjiro couldn't help but burst into tears. He quickly ran to Mika and helped him up.

Looking at Tanjiro's excited face, Mika said proudly: "Didn't I say it? I will never be left behind by you. I successfully climbed back."

"Ok!"

Tanjiro nodded heavily.

The next moment, Mika and Tanjiro simultaneously looked at Nintaki Sakonji who came out of the house.

The Tengu mask obscures his face, making it impossible to discern his expression.

Feeling the expectant gazes of the two people, Ninataki Sakonji responded seriously: "Mika, Kamado Tanjiro, I recognize you."

With Nintaki Sakonji's recognition, the sun slowly rose, spreading its brilliant light on the three of them.

In the light, both Mika and Tanjiro showed bright smiles.

Their hard work was not in vain.

Together they passed the test!

"The Demon Slayer Corps has about a hundred members. It is an organization that is not officially recognized by the government, but it has existed since a long time ago and is still hunting evil spirits."

"As for the hunting targets of the Demon Slayer Team, no one knows how ghosts appear. We only know that their staple food is humans."

"And their physical fitness is extremely strong. Even if they are injured, they can recover quickly. Even if their bodies are cut off by sharp weapons, they can be reattached, and they can even grow new limbs."

"In addition, some ghosts have the ability to change their body shape or have powerful vampire skills. They can only be truly eliminated by being exposed to direct sunlight or decapitating them with special weapons."

Nintaki Sakonji sat in front of Mika and Tanjiro, telling them the information and intelligence about the Demon Slayer Squad, so that they could clearly understand how dangerous the world they were in was.

Hearing these more detailed knowledge compared to what Micah explained, Tanjirou's expression kept changing.

Looking at this scene, Micah nodded slightly.

In order to conceal his identity, although Mika explained some information about ghosts and the Demon Slayer Squad to Tanjiro, these were just some basic common sense.

After all, too much is lost.

Considering Tanjiro's perverted sense of smell, Micah never even mentioned the false identity he once told Tomioka Giyuu to Tanjiro.

After all, future Tanjiro can detect lies through his sense of smell.

In order not to lie and conceal some information, Micah took on the shape of the Riddler.

Taking in the expressions of Mika and Tanjiro, Kintaki Sakonji continued to explain: "Unlike ghosts, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have to use their flesh and blood to fight evil ghosts for their lives."

"They are just ordinary people. Even if their arms and legs are broken, they cannot grow back. But even so, they are still fighting evil spirits to protect mankind."

"And I am the trainer, the one who will train you into qualified swordsmen. If you want to pass the test and join the Ghost Killing Squad, you must pass the final selection held at Wisteria Mountain."

"As for whether you can participate in the final selection, it is up to me to decide based on your strength."

"So, in order not to die in the mouths of evil spirits and become their food, from now on you must practice well with the determination to die. I will not do anything to let you offend."

"Yes! Mr. Lintaki!"

Mika and Tanjiro responded in unison.

"Then you should have a good rest today and recover. From tomorrow on, your good days will be over."

After giving some instructions to the two of them, Nintaki Sakonji walked out of the room.

Inside the room, Mika and Tanjiro, who were covered in bruises, looked at each other's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing loudly.

For those who have passed the test, no matter what difficulties they face, they can no longer stop them.

Their will has become as hard as steel during this test.

indestructible!
