Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Therefore, the Demon Slayer Corps is just a civilian organization.

The final selection might be a tradition, passed down from generation to generation. Everyone sees that the predecessors used this method to select swordsmen, and the selected swordsmen are quite good, so let's continue using it.

The lack of courage and determination to make changes may also be related to external factors and a shortage of manpower.

The Demon Slayer Corps has been wiped out before in history.

In addition, not every generation has nine pillars.

There may have been water pillars and fire pillars in every generation, but they may not have been from the same period—assuming there are only two or three pillars in this generation, and not many Class A members.

In this situation, dealing with evil spirits is already very difficult.

Not to mention the need to allocate manpower to train ordinary swordsmen and to have experienced swordsmen mentor new ones.

All of the above problems are possible.

Kiyokawa Izumi wasn't unaware of or unable to understand; the reason he had to speak out was simply because this generation hadn't faced such dire straits as the previous ones.

It could definitely be done better.

But then again, perhaps in some people's eyes, improving basic skills is not that important.

What's the point of that?

The upper limit of these ordinary swordsmen is what it is. Do you expect a pillar-level swordsman to emerge from among them?

joke!

What truly determines the course of events is the Nine Pillars themselves.

The nine pillars are the key!

An inexplicable silence fell over the courtyard—Kiyokawa Izumi was also reflecting on whether he had been too presumptuous.

And with the little time left, will making these changes really be useful?

He always remembered the contributions of ordinary swordsmen in the Infinite City. These people were either mediocre or weak, but their determination was undeniable.

The Nine Pillars are important, but ordinary swordsmen are also important.

If Kagaya Ubuyashiki still wants him to serve as a Pillar after hearing all this, he will not refuse and will try to make some changes.

"The final selection includes a demon that has survived for so long; no wonder fewer and fewer children are joining over the years..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was slightly taken aback. He was quite young, probably less than half the age of the Hand Demon, and he really didn't know about the existence of the Hand Demon.

"Become a pillar. At the upcoming pillar meeting, you can boldly express your thoughts."

The lord quickly regained his composure and spoke gently to Kiyokawa Izumi.

He didn't immediately agree to Kiyokawa Izumi's idea of ​​change. First, he wasn't a Pillar yet, and second, he needed to hear the opinions of the other Pillars.

This is not something that Kiyokawa Izumi can handle alone; it requires the help of other Pillars, including retired Pillars, as well as a large number of team members.

Immediately issuing instructions to change the existing system would be irresponsible towards the team members.

Some of the problems that arise from these changes also need to be discussed.

For example, would having experienced players mentor inexperienced new players seriously hinder the team's progress? Would it result in the sacrifice of many experienced players?

For example, what is the attitude of ordinary team members towards the training that has begun? Are they really willing to accept it?

Will doing this cause a shortage of manpower?

There are far too many issues to discuss, but fortunately the summit is just around the corner.

"Okay, I will bring this up at the plenary session. I would also like to hear the views and opinions of the other plenary members."

Kiyokawa Izumi did not refuse again, and said firmly.

……

After he left the headquarters, he couldn't help but slap his forehead hard.

Why the hell do you have to cause trouble!

What do these things have to do with you? Why did you have to bring it up?

Now look what's happened! Soon we'll be attending the Pillar Meeting—for example, the Wind Pillar and the Serpent Pillar, who have terrible tempers.

That's not all; to make matters worse, they can't beat anyone, making them a true bottom-ranked team.

Kiyokawa Izumi really wanted to slap himself.

Wouldn't it be better to follow the plot's development? Or can't we just let things take their natural course?

"Well, I guess I'll just have to accept it."

Because Izumi Kiyokawa needs to nourish his lungs, he definitely won't be able to practice breathing techniques during this period.

He was afraid that when he attended the meeting, everyone would look at him strangely—"How did you sneak in? How did you manage to kill a Lower Moon with your strength?"

You haven't even mastered the Complete Collection: Normal Mode, do you even deserve to be a Pillar? Are the Lower Moons really that weak?

If he were to meet those gazes, Kiyokawa Izumi, whose strength was indeed not that great, would not have the confidence to explain himself.

"Ugh!"

Kiyokawa Izumi returned to the Butterfly Mansion with a sigh all the way. As soon as he entered, he saw Kanzaki Aoi looking at him as if he were a monster.

"I heard you single-handedly defeated Lower Moon Six?"

Kanzaki Aoi was holding a package in her arms, and it was unclear what was inside.

"Ugh!"

Kiyokawa Izumi looked at her, hesitant to speak, and sighed repeatedly.

"Why are you sighing?" Kanzaki Aoi asked instinctively when she saw his gaze fall on the package in her hand.

"It's some medicinal herbs like loquat leaves and mugwort... The hidden member who delivered it said that the lord prepared these for you, and also said that you've now been promoted to Pillar?"

Loquat leaves have the effect of relieving cough and moisturizing the lungs.

Applying mugwort as a hot compress can promote blood circulation in the lungs.

Most of the medicinal herbs that were delivered could be used to nourish the lungs.

Kiyokawa Izumi didn't expect that person to be so thoughtful, even sending Yin to deliver these things.

Looking at Kanzaki Aoi, who was brimming with questions, Kiyokawa Izumi cleared his throat in a pretentious manner and asked with a straight face.

"Team member Kanzaki Aoi, is this the attitude you should have towards a Pillar?"
