Gyomei Himejima. A beautiful woman. The Stone Hashira, and the strongest one there was.

Gyomei served as the strongest Hashira, being the strongest in the Demon Slayer Corps and the eldest. She was 27 years old while the master himself, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, was 23.

It was after the Swordsmith Village, the attack was brutal there, but luckily not many was killed or hurt by the demons who attacked.

Upper Rank 4 and 5 were the ones who attacked. Luckily, Mitsuri Kanroji, Muichiro Tokito, Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado and Genya Shinazugawa were there to help.

But, now that more Upper Ranks were attacking, it was now more closer to a war to start…

The time was nearing. Everyone knew that. Muzan Kibutsuji was most likely trying to get more intel on Kagaya’s whereabouts.

Another thing was that Mitsuri and Muichiro had unlocked their Demon Slayer Marks. It was shocking that it happened. Something that happened once over 500 years ago back in the Sengoku Period.

This was both good and bad. But, then there was the Hashira Training.

The training was to train the Lower ranked demon slayers to reach their full potential, and get the other Hashira to unlock their own Demon Slayer Marks.

One day, it was night. It’s been three months since the training started.

Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira’s training was Fitness and Stamina. Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira’s training was Rapid Movement Training. Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Hashira’s training was Flexibility Training. Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira’s training was Sword Skill Revision training. Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira’s training was Infinite Striking training.

Then, finally, Gyomei’s training. The most gruelling and maybe the hardest one. Muscle Amplification training.

Rengoku Kyojuro, Flame Hashira, was on a long mission so he couldn’t attend the Hashira Training. Shinobu couldn’t train anyone because she had to work on the strongest poison that could work against Muzan Kibutsuji with Lady Tamayo, a demon who had removed his curse and too wished him dead. Giyu Tomioka, Water Hashira, didn’t attend because he deemed himself not worthy. Never did he say that though, causing Sanemi and Obanai to behave a bit… annoyed.

Anyways, some of the Demon Slayers Gyomei was training was asleep in a spare estate Gyomei had for them. She was sitting in the middle of her estate, just silently enjoying the quiet tranquility.

But, then her ears picked up on small footsteps. Her estate door opened. Gyomei was blind, and her senses were heightened so she could easily hear for maybe a mile away.

Then, a voice sounded.

Muichiro: ”Gyomei…”

Muichiro’s voice rang out in the room. The room was lit by a few lanterns in some parts of the room.

Normally, Muichiro would be training with Sanemi and Obanai, as they were actual challenges to the weaker Demon Slayers everyone was forced to train.

It seemed Muichiro was going for a late night conversation with the wise Stone Hashira.

Still, Muichiro was known to be rather forgetful and quite indifferent or careless, but the poor man suffered from amnesia, being the youngest Hashira wasn’t easy.

That was when a few sounds were heard. Shuffling perhaps as Muichiro now sat beside Gyomei.

Muichiro: ”I wanted to ask you something…”

Muichiro’s voice came again. This time, his voice took on a more curious tone, but still that cold tone that he was known for.
