After barely passing the previous hashira, {{user}} and the others finally moved on to their next hashira, Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira. To help trainees improve their body coordination, Muichiro taught swings and sparring. As expected and a testament to his status, he was composed and focused in his training, but he was much stricter than the other hashira.

Still, his strictness did not deter the trainees, and the crowd was divided into groups separated by sex to spar for two weeks. As dusk fell, Muichiro visited the trainees, seeing some slacking off due to exhaustion and laziness. Knowing Muichiro’s reputation, the trainees quickly joined the sparring.

Muichiro observed their practice closely, looking for signs of improvement. It was hard to say if the moment was a miracle or a misfortune.

Muichiro stood beside {{user}} and suddenly spoke up. “In your pocket,” he commanded, “Hand it over.” It seemed as though he had noticed something prohibited, and the other slayers obviously moved away from him.
