"Looks like today will be another beautiful day!"
Feeling the fresher air outside compared to inside, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remarked.
"Ah... Anon, I hope that my Master's injuries will heal slowly, just like the weather!" Mitsuri said timidly.
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently.
Even though he knew it was impossible, he still felt a warmth in his heart.
"Thank you, Mitsuri!"
Hearing her Master thank her, Mitsuri hurriedly raised her hand and waved it.
"No, no, no! You're welcome, my Master!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki still had a smile on his lips as he turned to face straight ahead.
Although he couldn't see it, he could still feel it.
His children are just ahead.
"Everyone, please get up. Today's meeting will be held indoors!"
Although the temperature is quite pleasant now, it won't be like this once the sun shines into the courtyard!
"Yes!"
Everyone responded and then moved inside.
With nine pillars and one Teiichi, the ten people can be divided into two rows.
Although Teiichi group, he still sat down next to Kanae this time with practiced ease.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki sat down in front.
His two children left after he had sat down.
As the sliding door closed, Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke:
"I'm sure everyone is already familiar with the content of this meeting."
The point is to discuss the Upper Rank.
It was originally scheduled to be held more than ten days ago.
However, Teiichi a survivor and his injuries were relatively minor.
So I waited a little while for the injury to heal.
Therefore, it has been delayed until now.
Sanemi Shinazugawa nodded. "Ah, I know that. It all started when Rengoku encountered Upper Rank Two, which led to everything that followed, right?"
"Um!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, then began to explain in detail.
" Kyojuro, Tanjiro Kamado, and Zenitsu Agatsuma Inosuke Hashibira on a mission to the Mugen Train."
They encountered the Lower Rank One.
Subsequently, through the cooperation of several people...
Even though the train derailed in the end, they successfully saved the lives of the passengers and eliminated Lower Rank One.
Upon hearing this, Tengen Uzui's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.
He had a premonition.
It won't be long before his Tsuguko becomes a pillar.
At that time, he will be just like Kato, a Pillar who has Tsuguko has become a Pillar!
Kagaya Ubuyashiki continued:
"But what followed closely behind was Upper Rank Two."
This is different from the intelligence we originally obtained.
Upper Rank Two is no longer Doma, but Akaza, who was originally Upper Rank Three Akaza.
According to the intelligence they obtained, Rengoku and the others...
There exists a rule among ghosts called the Rank Replacement Blood Battle.
The lower-ranking Upper Rank could defeat the higher-ranking Upper Rank through Rank Replacement Blood Battle and take its place.
"Is there really such a thing? This is the first time I've ever heard of it," said Gyomei Himejima slowly.
Obanai Iguro, "There's no point in knowing this, is there?"
Whether they switch places or not is not really relevant to us.
All we really need to know is the specific situation regarding the Upper Rank.
What are the physical characteristics of Upper Rank?
What is Blood Demon Art?
What are the attack methods, etc.?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded in agreement. "That's true, but it's always good to know more information."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said that, Obanai Iguro also said something.
Sanemi Shinazugawa continued, picking up where Kagaya Ubuyashiki left off. "And then Rengoku was defeated by Akaza, right?"
"Yes!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded.
"How strong is Upper Rank Two?" Obanai Iguro asked.
Previously, their understanding of the Upper Rank' strength mainly came from Teiichi.
However, Teiichi's strength is somewhat superior to theirs.
Now that a Pillar of comparable strength has encountered Upper Rank, they will be able to better understand the Upper Rank's power.
"Regarding the 'Rengoku ' theory," Shinobu Kocho said, "Line 2 wasn't fighting him at full strength from the start, and he was also wearing heavy armor."
Upon hearing that they were wearing heavy loads, the people present couldn't help but glance at Teiichi.
As far as they knew, Teiichi among those present who truly enjoyed having people wear weight training gear.
Although they tried it later and felt the results were good.
But it shouldn't end up like Teiichi.
They like to have people wear weights when training them.
Ding Teiichi, but then he saw that the others were all looking at him.
Teiichi quickly recalled what Shinobu Kocho had just said and realized something was wrong.
Akaza wasn't wearing any armor when she went to find him!
"Did Rengoku really say that?" Teiichi asked Shinobu Kocho.
"Yes!" Shinobu Kocho smiled and nodded Teiichi.
Upon receiving Shinobu Kocho's confirmation, Teiichi frowned slightly.
Shinobu Kocho, noticing Teiichi's furrowed brows, chuckled, " Akaza's strange. Why wasn't Akaza wearing his armor when he met you?"
Teiichi looked at Shinobu Kocho with Teiichi puzzled expression and nodded.
Shinobu Kocho tilted her head and said, "They're all six of them surrounding you, how could they possibly fight you while wearing weights?"
"Well..."
That seems to make sense.
Teiichi carefully recalled his meeting with Akaza.
like...
Seeing the look of realization on Teiichi's face, Tengen Uzui spoke up:
"Hey! Kato, could this really be related to you?"
Upon hearing what Tengen Uzui said, the others also turned their gazes towards him again.
They initially thought it was just a coincidence, but it turned out to be actually related to Kato.
Teiichi looked around at everyone in the room and slowly said:
"Maybe it's because when I fought him last time, I started with weights on, so..."
Upon hearing this, Tengen Uzui's lips immediately curled into a grin.
" Kato, I never knew you could be so arrogant! I thought you were always so reserved!"
Ding Teiichi hearing this.
"It wouldn't be accurate to call it arrogance!"
If it had been Upper Rank One, I would have immediately taken off all my gear.
But at that time Akaza was only Upper Rank Three.
And I fought Doma, the Upper Rank Two, a few years ago.
After several years of training, he had a rough estimate of his and Akaza's strength!
"And if I can't win, I can just slash with my Nichirin Blade and the weight will be off."
Shinobu Kocho her mouth and chuckled softly twice, then turned her head and continued her explanation:
"Everyone knows the strength of Rengoku; he can consistently achieve a mid-to-high level in every Hashira Battles."
That's just how it is.
According to Rengoku, he became serious after Upper Rank Two.
They could only exchange a few brief blows before he was quickly defeated by Upper Rank Two.
