Although Ryuji had intervened and saved a life, the young man's neck was still bitten, and blood immediately stained his clothes red.
Ryuji didn't pay much attention to the injured young man. He simply looked down at the young man lying on the ground and asked calmly, "You'll be alright, right?"
The young man looked at Ryuji in astonishment. He still remembered him, after all, Ryuji had shown off his skills in front of everyone, shocking the entire audience.
The young man shook his head and said, enduring the pain, "Thank you!"
"If you want to survive, go to the place where there are water ripple marks on the tree trunks." Ryuji said calmly to the young man.
After saying that, he didn't linger and continued towards his next target.
"Am I still too weak?" The young man looked at Ryuji leaving and couldn't help but have a new understanding of himself.
In the time that followed, one {demon} after another died under Ryuji's Demon Slayer sword. It wasn't that Ryuji was too strong, but that these demons used for the selection test were too weak. Because they were imprisoned here, they naturally didn't eat many people, so their strength couldn't be enhanced.
During this process, Ryuji didn't encounter the little girl he had chatted up before. This made him feel a bit strange. Because he was searching the entire mountain for demons to kill, he should have had a chance to encounter her.
After all, he had basically encountered everyone who came to participate in the selection, including Tanjiro. He had even encountered Tanjiro, but he couldn't find the little girl anywhere.
When he encountered Tanjiro, he chose to avoid him, so they didn't actually meet. Because Ryuji had to let Tanjiro truly face the {demons} and experience what he was supposed to experience.
Soon, the night's hunt was over. As the sun rose, the {demons} that were still alive hid in Mount Fujikasane.
Ryuji had spent the night clearing an area of three kilometers in radius. He estimated that the {demons} that were still alive had probably hidden in the deeper parts of Mount Fujikasane.
Because of Ryuji's sweep that night, all the young men who came to participate in the selection gathered together and discussed the motivation behind his actions.
Some thought that he did this because he hated {demons} so much that he was looking for them everywhere to vent his anger.
Others said that he did this to attract the attention of the head of the Demon Slayer Corps so that he could get better treatment in the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course, there were all kinds of speculations. Ryuji's actions became the focus of these young men's discussions.
Tanjiro, with Zenitsu, happened to run into these young men who were gathered together. Hearing them talk about Ryuji, Tanjiro asked about it.
The young men saw that Tanjiro also had a disaster-averting mask similar to Ryuji's, so they naturally respected him very much and told him what they knew.
"Tanjiro, your Senior Ryuji is so cool! We're trying to hide, but he's actually searching the whole world for {demons} to kill." Zenitsu couldn't help but admire Ryuji after hearing about his deeds.
Tanjiro ignored Zenitsu. After knowing about Ryuji's actions, he was also a bit shocked and puzzled.
Why did Ryuji have to search the whole world for demons to kill? Couldn't he just survive for seven days peacefully? Why did he have to torture himself like this? Or was he doing this to clear all obstacles for himself?
