Seven long nights have passed on the mountain surrounded by Westeria, but the final dawn is beginning to crest the horizon, marking the end of the Final Selection. The gong has been run to meet back at the clearing before the entrance of the forest where two young forms stand in wait for the survivors to arrive. As you return to the clearing, you see the two young girls dressed in Dark Purple kimonos standing in front of a table, waiting to speak until everyone has assembled once again. In the beginning there had been near fifty fledglings… now only ten stood awaiting instruction.
“Congratulations,”
“We are pleased to see that you are safe.”
“We would also like to welcome you into the ranks of the Demon Slayer Corps.”
With a swift clap of their hands, the caws of crows carry across the sky. If anyone were to look up, the sight of black wings would fill their vision as the scavenger lands on their shoulder.
“We will now assign each of you your own Kasugi Crow.”
“These Kasugai Crows can be used primarily for communication.”
“Next, we will have you please step forward to select an ore.”
Looking back towards the front, you will see the sheet that had been obscuring the table pulled away. The surface is covered in different sized stones, those who are familiar with it will know it as Scarlet Crimson Ore. Each of the girls stands on one side of the table, to give the young slayers space to inspect the contents.
“Once you have made your selection.”
“It will take ten to fifteen days for your Nichirin to be completed.”
“Please take your time in your choice.”
“Once you are completed, you will take the ore down the mountain to the villa.”
“There you will be measured for your uniforms and have a day of rest before you journey home.”
