This incredibly cool-looking child was actually chosen by Yoriichi?!

Tōshirō, seeing the surprised expressions of the four Hashira beside him, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I had the same expression when I first heard the news, but yours is even funnier."

Upon hearing this, the four Hashira's gazes towards Tōshirō immediately turned unfriendly.

"Damn it, you knew all along, didn't you?"

"And you didn't tell us? Are you asking for a beating?"

Pressing his right hand down in the air, Kagaya signaled for them to stop their bickering.

"Of course, this is only the first point, and the least important one."

"After all, the Demon Slayer Corps is a place that doesn't look at background; we value disposition and strength more."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as Kagaya said, the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't value a person's background. As long as you are willing to contribute to killing demons, they welcome you.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Kagaya continued speaking.

"As you all should know, Yoriichi's Breathing Technique, Sun Breathing, has not been mastered by anyone to this day."

Upon hearing their Master say this, the hearts of the Hashira tightened.

They weren't fools; they understood Master Kagaya's meaning.

Could it be that this child has mastered Sun Breathing?!

The Water Hashira rested his chin on his hand, a slight smile on his face.

"Precisely!"

Kagaya's pale hand clenched tightly, causing him to cough several times from the excitement.

"The Scribe has already learned Yoriichi's Sun Breathing!"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of everyone towards the Scribe immediately changed.

The five Hashira looked at him with extremely strange expressions, even revealing a hint of envy and jealousy.

If the timing were right, they would have probably invited the Scribe over to ask for guidance.

Even Tsugikuni Yoriichi himself widened his eyes upon hearing this news.

His right hand, holding the teacup, trembled uncontrollably, showcasing his immense inner excitement.

My disciple truly hasn't disappointed me; he actually did it!

Subconsciously swallowing, Tsugikuni Yoriichi put down the teacup.

Kagaya, observing everything, also felt happy for his friend.

"As for this third point, it is the most important one!"

"A few days ago, the Scribe successfully put Sun Breathing into practice and killed a demon!"

"He killed the Evil Demon that we were originally going to send a Hashira to subjugate!"

The noisy room suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of the Hashira gasping for air.

The Water Hashira, who was resting his chin, accidentally hit his jaw on the table.

The Wind Hashira, with his arms crossed, opened his mouth wide, his previously cold expression gone.

The Stone Hashira, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

Even the seasoned Sound Hashira was looking at the Scribe as if he were a monster.

The only one who appeared normal was the Flame Pillar Tōshirō, who was laughing heartily.

Kagaya smiled, looking at the five Hashira with their varied expressions.

"Of course, this is just what I've said. You might still have some doubts and disbelief."

"If the Scribe is willing, he can demonstrate it for everyone here."

"How about it?"

After hearing the last sentence, everyone's gaze once again focused on the Scribe.

Even Yoriichi himself seemed to be subtly looking in this direction.

"Uh, this might not be very good."

"Actually, I don't feel like I'm that powerful; I'm just an ordinary person."

Although he said this, the Scribe couldn't withstand the gazes of the Hashira, especially Yoriichi's.

Picking up a wooden sword, the Scribe walked into the courtyard and took a deep breath.

He slowly closed his eyes, relaxing his body and mind, attempting to merge with heaven and earth.

A breath of pale white gas was exhaled from his mouth, and the next second, the Scribe moved.

With the exact same steps as Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the Scribe displayed all the forms of Sun Breathing one by one.

Sun Breathing First Form Round Dance

Sun Breathing Second Form Azure Sky

Sun Breathing Twelfth Form Flame Dance

The Hashira present watched the Scribe demonstrate Sun Breathing, and they all let out sounds of admiration.

"A divine technique! It truly is the divine technique, Sun Breathing!"

"A genius, the Scribe is undoubtedly a genius!"

"Genius can no longer describe him! He's practically a prodigy! A god!"

"After Mr. Yoriichi, has our Demon Slayer Corps produced another peerless individual?"

As for Tsugikuni Yoriichi himself, he had already frozen in place.

Watching the Scribe wield Sun Breathing, which had once belonged only to him, his eyes had become moist at some point.

Although still a bit raw, it was undeniably Sun Breathing!

With the demonstration of the Twelve Forms complete, the Scribe tossed the scorched wooden sword in his hand aside.

"Now that you've all seen this, do any of you have any remaining doubts or objections?"

Silence fell. No one voiced any objections.

"In that case, I officially announce."

"The Scribe, you are now the youngest member in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Chapter 13: A Ranking System is Born, Setting Off Towards Sunlight Mountain

Although the Scribe didn't care much for such empty titles.

He accepted the title of the youngest member in history at Kagaya's strong insistence.

After all, having the status of an official member would make it easier for him to handle certain matters.

As Ubuyashiki Kagaya wrote the Scribe's name onto the roster of Demon Slayer Corps members, his expression suddenly changed, becoming somewhat serious.

"Now that the Scribe has officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps, there's something I'd like to discuss with everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression grew solemn.

Even Tsugikuni Yoriichi turned his gaze in their direction.

For the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps to place such importance on it, it must be no trivial matter.

Taking a deep breath, Kagaya spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Taking this opportunity, I intend to reform the Demon Slayer Corps."

As soon as he spoke, the most hot-tempered Wind Hashira couldn't sit still.

"Master, it's not that I'm being nosy, but is it really alright to suddenly reform traditions that have been in place for hundreds of years?"

Waving his hand, Kagaya signaled for the Wind Hashira to calm down.

He then proceeded to deliver the speech he had prepared.

From the current system of the Demon Slayer Corps to personnel allocation, from the logistical support for swordsmen to their safety after retirement.

Kagaya had seemingly considered every issue that might arise in managing an organization.

It was evident how much effort he had poured into the Demon Slayer Corps.

After listening, the five Hashira fell into contemplation.

As Kagaya had said, times were progressing, and systems were not immutable.

Exchanging glances, they had reached a consensus.

"Master, we are willing to cooperate with you on the reforms."

"However, what exactly are the proposed changes?"

Kagaya faltered at Tōshirō's question.

Just contemplating these issues had already consumed most of his energy. If he had to think about specific measures as well, he might just die from overwork.

Just then, the Scribe suddenly spoke up.

"If there are no good methods for now, I have some suggestions."

He walked over to a nearby shelf and retrieved a piece of paper and a pen.

As he explained each point, the Scribe would draw corresponding images on the paper.

The first thing that appeared on the paper was a pyramid-shaped diagram.

"The first point is this ranking system."

While adding to the drawing on the paper, the Scribe explained his ideas.

The five Hashira and Ubuyashiki Kagaya were, without realizing it, drawn in by these ingenious ideas.

According to the Scribe's vision, the ranking system of the Demon Slayer Corps could be further refined.

Missions that low-level, weak swordsmen cannot complete can be handled by swordsmen of the next higher rank.

And so on, with the most difficult tasks falling to the Hashira.

This way, unnecessary waste of combat power and personnel casualties can be greatly reduced.

It can even strengthen the competitive spirit among members to a certain extent and enhance internal vitality.

After listening to the Scribe's ideas, everyone fell silent, lost in thought.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in the Scribe's mind.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Basic Linguistics (0/1000).

Linguistics: Allows you to converse better with them, gain trust and support more easily, and is the best skill for becoming a leader (a charlatan)!

You successfully used Linguistics to persuade Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the five Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, gaining a large number of points.

Influenced by the host's own abilities, Basic Linguistics (0/1000) has been promoted to Proficient Linguistics (10,000/100,000).

After obtaining this ability, the Scribe felt he was walking further and further down a path called the King of Charlatans.

After digesting the Scribe's ideas, Ubuyashiki Kagaya couldn't help but nod.

In his opinion, this system was already perfect.

The same was true for the five Hashira, who looked at the Scribe with a hint of envy.

To become an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps at such a young age, not only was his strength formidable, but he also had such unique insights into managing an organization.

If they were to think about these things themselves, they probably wouldn't even come up with a tenth of it in their entire lives.
