Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 251 Your teacher and my teacher seem different

"In the end, I still didn't win once."

Tanjiro sighed, put one hand on his waist, and scratched his short hair behind his head with the other hand. There was a helpless smile on his face, and his voice sounded a little lost.

The rules are completely biased towards their own, and as long as they win once, they are considered a winner. However, the result is that they lose every time out of ten games.

Even though everyone worked together later and happened to catch the right wind direction, when they really looked, those paper planes flying in parallel into the distance were still led the farthest by Muichiro's.

The other paper planes had either gone off course or simply fallen to the ground, not to mention his, which had not flown far when it started spinning and falling. Now it was stuck on a branch in the distance, as if mocking his arrogance.

"Everyone tried so hard, but still failed."

"I'm really unwilling."

"what a pity."

Obviously, Tanjiro was not the only one who felt frustrated by this. The other team members also expressed their feelings one after another when looking at the paper airplanes in the distance. Sighs were heard one after another, and from time to time, there was the muffled sound of clenched fists hitting their palms to vent their emotions.

As the center of this incident and the protagonist of the story, Muichiro just watched the paper plane fly away with an expressionless face. After a long time, he retracted his gaze, turned to look at the group of people in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"Whether you're unwilling or regretful, the undeniable fact is that no one won..."

Muichiro looked at the heads drooping one after another in front of him, turned around and walked into the corridor.

"However, facing the reality of losing ten battles in a row, yet still impulsively and recklessly pursuing one attempt after another, can barely be considered a display of courage. It's a completely foolish act, but at least on this point, I reluctantly acknowledge you."

There was a moment of silence in response, followed by small gasps and unconscious exclamations. Muichiro could almost imagine the expressions on those people's faces: surprise, shock even, a bunch of idiots.

"So, does this mean we won?"

I don't know who asked the first rash question, but then I could feel the gaze locked on my back without even turning around.

"Of course not. You guys lost completely. Today's training will have to be doubled."

Muichiro answered without hesitation.

This time it was not just a sigh, Muichiro heard clear wails, one after another.

The half-open door was grasped and opened, and the sunlight occupied a larger space in the room. The large area of ​​light in front of him was extremely dazzling. Lin Guang squinted his eyes slightly until someone stepped into the room. The shadow fell on the floor in front of him again, and the familiar darkness returned. Lin Guang looked up and saw a young man walking in under the sunlight.

There is no doubt that the victory belongs entirely to Muichiro. He won completely and totally. Whether it was the initial match with Tanjiro or the later overtime match with other team members that could not be considered normal, the boy won an undisputed and complete victory.

But when looking at the faint smile on Muichiro's face, Rinko felt that Tanjiro actually won. Even though he did not win the game, he did win the final prize for these team members, a Muichiro who would be more gentle to other team members.

"Rinko wants to compete with me too?"

Muichiro noticed the paper airplane that fell on the floor. He walked into the room and picked up the somewhat rough paper airplane from the floor covered with sunlight.

The boy looked up at him. Muichiro slowly walked over to Rinko who was sitting at the edge of the shadow. He squatted down and handed him the paper airplane. Rinko lowered his head and spoke as if he finally reacted.

"They can't beat you. I don't think I can."

This didn't sound like a rejection, nor did it sound like a denial. Muichiro felt that it was a euphemism.

"Rinko won't train twice as hard if he loses."

Lin Guang raised his hand, took the paper airplane from Muichiro's hand, and turned it around in his hand.

"But Rinko won't get any reward even if he wins."

Rinkou repeated what Muichiro said.

This sentence made Wuyilang unable to think of a response.

"But we can still compete. After all, Rinkou won't have to train twice as hard if he loses."

It was still an imitated tone, but the boy's voice was higher, and his face was raised with a faint smile, just like Muichiro.

"Yeah. After all, Rinkou won't train twice as hard if he loses."

Muichiro reached out and touched Rinkou's head, ruffling his short hair and tilting the boy's smiling head to one side.

Unfortunately, Rinko didn't have time to have a match with Muichiro. Tanjiro finished his training with Muichiro and was going to the next training location, and Rinko was going to be taken with him.

"Why do you want to bring me along? Isn't Muichiro very busy here?"

"Well...Iguro and Fuzukawa also want to meet Rinko, right? Especially Fuzukawa. I heard he's looking forward to your visit."

Wuyilang touched his chin and preached seriously.

The relationship between Rinko and Busui has never been good. It's not entirely clear, but they are indeed not close. However, Rinko understands why Busui wants him to go over. It's simply that those team members can't satisfy Busui when fighting with him, so they are waiting for him to go over and be a training partner who won't get tired.

But why would Ihei want to meet him?

Lin Guang tilted his head, and he still couldn't come up with an answer until he sat in the box after a long time.

Human beings are always troublesome. Most of the time, they don't quite understand or comprehend.

Just like Rinko doesn't understand why Tanjiro is so obsessed with asking Muichiro to be gentler with these team members, what's the point of such behavior? These team members are too weak, not only can't help in battle, but will become a burden and weakness. For such existence, Tanjiro's so-called "strictness" or even "harshness" is a normal behavior.

The weak should be treated more harshly, otherwise how are they supposed to grow and progress? It is normal for them to repent in the face of reprimands, grow in the face of failures, and learn to move forward in the face of pain.

But Tanjiro felt that even such behavior was a bit too harsh.

Ultimately, it's because Tanjiro is too gentle, too gentle, that's why he keeps every existence he sees in his heart and treats them with cherishment.

After all, in Rinko's opinion, Muichiro is now very gentle. Except for his occasional harsh words, his other thoughts, whether it is the training goals he gives or the guidance he provides during training, are incredibly gentle compared to his "teacher".
