An hour had passed when Seiichi left the Ubuyashiki Residence.
No one knew what the two of them discussed, except for Ubuyashiki and Seiichi.
Ubuyashiki expressed his condolences to Mitsuri, who had returned from her mission, and hoped she would rest well for a while, waiting until after the Hashira Meeting to go with Seiichi to the Swordsmith Village to retrieve the Nichirin Sword specially forged for them.
The Hashira also had to constantly go out and hunt demons. Or rather, it was precisely because they constantly hunted demons that they could become Hashira. Generally speaking, the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters would not have too many Hashira at the same time. Instead, they would rotate them to ensure that there were always Hashira at the Headquarters to protect its safety.
After saying goodbye to Ubuyashiki, who watched them leave in the sunlight, and then to Mitsuri, Seiichi was able to enjoy his own time.
He returned to his room, first took a bath, and then brewed himself a cup of tea.

Does the increase in exclamation marks mean his strength has also increased? That's a really simple way to classify it.
That's right, his strength had seen another huge improvement. Compared to the blank slate of his panel when he first arrived in the Demon Slayer World, although it couldn't be described as earth-shattering, it had at least undergone a qualitative change.
He took a light sip of tea. Ever since he came to Demon Slayer, Seiichi seemed to be playing with fire, but in reality, all his actions were carefully calculated. No matter what aspect, he could guarantee his own safety.
Without being able to determine whether he had truly transmigrated or if his body had been recreated from void, his own safety was most important.
Although Upper Moon Six was powerful, he always had an advantage in speed, so even if he was outmatched, he could quickly escape. The Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters was the same. After a conversation with Ubuyashiki, the possibility of the Demon Slayer Corps taking action against him had basically been eliminated. Given that, the only one left was Muzan Kibutsuji.
A rare sense of ease. In reality, he had immense pressure, and after coming to Demon Slayer, he faced life-and-death struggles, but now everything was different.
Seiichi could now be certain that he could easily win first place in the academy competition. In Demon Slayer, unless he courted death, it was unlikely he would encounter a life-and-death crisis. Moreover, his strength was improving day by day. In another month or two, it would be Muzan Kibutsuji who would have to run away.
This week, he would focus on improving his strength here, asking some Demon Slayer Corps members for guidance on various Breathing Styles to see if he could restore Sun Breathing, and in his spare time, he would have in-depth discussions about swordsmanship with Mitsuri. After the Hashira all returned, he would visit and seek their guidance one by one.
First, set a small goal: become the greatest sword master in this world's history, just for fun.
Having made up his mind, Seiichi raised his teacup and drained it in one gulp.
"To be honest, I prefer plain boiled water."
He picked up the katana from the weapon rack and headed to the training room.
Red Nichirin Sword, one of the ultimate secret arts in the Demon Slayer World, is named Red Nichirin Sword because the sword turns crimson red after being used. Once Red Nichirin Sword is activated, the mind, body, and technique are all greatly enhanced. Nothing is unbreakable, nothing is un-cuttable, it is extremely yang and rigid, strongly countering evil beings.
There are several ways to activate it: first, by holding it with immense strength, pouring one's entire body and mind into it; second, by a Marked Swordsman infecting the sword with their own body temperature, raising its temperature; third, by igniting the sword through friction-generated heat; fourth, by igniting the sword in a way similar to Nezuko's Blood Demon Art.
Among these methods, only the first one met Seiichi's requirements. The latter methods had too many conditions, either with too many side effects or not lasting long.
Seiichi hoped that he could still use this technique after leaving Demon Slayer, and his physical talent was strong, so he could choose the first method.
Seiichi took a deep breath, holding the sword with both hands. His strength slowly increased, his mind was concentrated, focused to the extreme. The blade of the katana shook slightly, making a buzzing hum, as if wailing. As the grip strength continuously increased, the sword's shaking went from visible to barely noticeable. If observed closely, one could see the sword's vibration frequency becoming faster and faster.
The snow-white long sword slowly turned red, from orange to red, and then slowly evolved into deep red. The air next to the sword made sizzling sounds, the extremely high temperature causing the air to be scorched.
Clang! From an unknown point, cracks appeared on the sword. The cracks slowly expanded, spreading rapidly, and instantly the entire sword was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Seiichi stopped applying force, and the entire sword shattered into pieces, leaving only the hilt.
Goodness, as expected, Red Nichirin Sword indeed has very high demands on the sword. In Demon Slayer, Nichirin Swords are naturally heat-resistant and are good tools for using Red Nichirin Sword, but in the Human World, wouldn't he lose money every time he used it?
Seiichi thought about his and Mitsuki's wallets and felt a chill run down his spine.
It seems he can only think about whether he can find an extraordinary weapon in the Human World.
He cleaned the floor and sat cross-legged. Seiichi looked straight ahead, or more precisely, at the panel.
Normal Breathing - Constant (996 / 1000)
"Total Concentration..."
'This Breathing Style is my self-created Breathing Style. From experiments, it can greatly increase my strength and speed. As for being attribute-less, this might be due to my own subconscious decision.'
He thought.
"Sun Breathing still sounds pretty good."
Seiichi inhaled and exhaled until a certain lock slowly shattered. Crack! The airflow within his body became even smoother, and unlike before, it was no longer restricted to flowing along fixed paths to various parts of the body. Now, the energy could rapidly concentrate at a single point, breaking free from the constraints of fixed routes.
Normal Breathing - Total Concentration Constant (10 / 10000)
Water Breathing - Constant (856 / 1000)
Sound Breathing - Constant (810 / 1000)
Love Breathing - Constant (600 / 1000)
Seiichi was delighted. Today was a good day! The breakthrough in one Breathing Style led to the improvement of other Breathing Styles. At this point, all Breathing Styles, except for Sun Breathing, had entered Constant mode.
Seiichi could feel the energy within his body greatly increasing, and his entire body felt a sense of expansion. His spine and skin were hardening, and his physical strength was also soaring.
Can 8 points of vitality allow me to activate Red Nichirin Sword with one hand?
Not daring to relax, he carefully regulated the energy in his body, slowly adapting to his surging strength.
