Tetsu no Sosuke still admired Urokodaki Sakonji.
Then he heard Urokodaki Sakonji answer in a flat voice, "To sell them."
Chapter 312: Basket Weaving
The reason was nowhere near as lofty as Tetsu no Sosuke had imagined, but it was thoroughly practical.
Still, Tetsu no Sosuke was curious. "Doesn't Master give you money anymore?"
Urokodaki Sakonji replied in the same flat tone, "He does."
"Then why..." Tetsu no Sosuke looked at the bamboo strips in his hands.
"Because I'm bored." Urokodaki Sakonji gave Tetsu no Sosuke a helpless look. "What do you think a trainer's life is like?"
Tetsu no Sosuke fell silent.
What was it like?
Probably fairly leisurely...
After all, although they were called trainers, very few people did it as a full-time profession.
They were either people who had left the front lines of the Demon Slayer Corps because of injuries, or retirees like Urokodaki Sakonji.
Otherwise, it was rare for someone to become a trainer outright.
A trainer's main job was to bring fresh blood into the Demon Slayer Corps. You couldn't find someone who had practiced swordsmanship for two days and send them off to train others. That made no sense.
And without having been through bloodshed themselves, how could they help their students learn from experience?
There was little room for armchair theory.
Even for a Demon Hunter who had left the front lines because of injury or illness, becoming a trainer was no simple matter.
If your skills weren't up to the task, then even if you somehow became a trainer, you would only end up harming yourself and others.
Looked at that way, being a trainer was actually a highly respected profession!
But the truth was, day-to-day life was still quiet.
Tetsu no Sosuke didn't need to compare himself with anyone else.
