Metasequoia Blade

After counting the points, Kamado Tanjiro ranked first. He lost to Kanako Kurikaro, only one defeat.

Followed by Fukuzawa Yukichi and Zuihei Inosuke.

"That guy Fukuzawa will probably retire."

Purgatory Xingshoulang said: "He still has to deal with the affairs of the detective agency, so I'm afraid he can't take on the role of Zhu, but he is very interested in some swordsmen during the competition, and he wants to bring back one to supplement the combat power of the detective agency."

Izawa Sugi said: "The forces in Yokohama are very complicated. Fukuzawa Yukichi, as the government's public target, has indeed attracted the attention of many people, and he is not suitable to be the pillar of Yaoya."

"If Inosuke can defeat Tanjiro tomorrow, then he and Tanjiro will be promoted this time?"

Butterfly smiled and said: "If Tanjirou loses, both he and Inosuke will lose."

"But if Inosuke loses, there are several losers."

Purgatory Anjuro looked at Izawa Sugi and Tomioka Yoshiyuki: "What do you two say? Tomioka and Izawa, should we accept all or hold a playoff?"

Izeshan said: "All of them are accepted. They all have potential and talent. It's a pity to brush them down."

Tomioka also nodded: "I'm very interested in them all."

Ihei Xiaobanei agreed: "I remember Yu Mao said that he wanted to retire? It's good to choose another backup pillar, and the assessment of the pillar is not held every year."

"And we're all still in school, right?"

Butterfly Ren said: "Although college is easier, if we need to be dispatched during our exams, neither I nor Ize will be inconvenient."

Shi Tou Wuichiro nodded: "It would be nice if there are a few first-class swordsmen with excellent strength to step up at any time."

Looking at his colleagues who were eager to try, Purgatory Xingshourou showed a hearty smile: "Very well, then there will be no play-offs, and the group assessment will be carried out directly."

He said: "Yize, Tomioka, show your full strength and let them take a good look."

Izeshan smiled slightly, with a murderous look in his smile: "This is inevitable."

After the assessment started on the third day, the battle took even less time.

At this point in the game, everyone has a deep understanding of their own level. Except for a few three losers who want to give it a go, the others have returned to the state of admitting defeat after a little trial at the beginning.

And Inoue and Monk Anlin, the two guys who were destined to be out, also besieged Izesugi mischievously, saying that they wanted to ask Zhu to give some advice.

Izeshan satisfied the two of them, he didn't use the Japanese sword, but he took the big naginata and beat up the two unlucky guys.

Monk An Lin was stunned: "You use a naginata?!"

Brother Inoue screamed: "You are too treacherous!!"

Izawasugi rolled his eyes and said: "Fuck you treacherous, if I use a naginata in the first assessment, I guess no one can pass except for Tanjirou and the others!"

Brother Inoue covered his swollen face and said vaguely: "Then Aji and Ye Shoulang pills."

Among the four of them, Umoji and Ye Shoulang of Purgatory had the best records, but the two of them had a civil war today, and whoever won would be shortlisted.

Izeshan said with a smile: "Ye Shoulang knows that I use a naginata, but Aji doesn't know. I am looking forward to seeing Aji in the third assessment."

Monk An Lin couldn't help but think about how hard it was for Umokichi to stand in front of his idol, excitedly going forward to challenge him, but Izawasugi took out a large naginata...

It's miserable to think about it.

Izeshan: "It's okay if you tell Aji, but..."

Before finishing speaking, Monk Anlin and brother Inoue waved their hands again and again, and brother Inoue smirked and said, "Oh, why did you tell him? When you encounter an enemy, the enemy will not kindly tell you what weapon to use in advance. It's a test for Aji!"

Monk An Lin also nodded, and he said to Amitabha: "Life is always full of tests, and I believe Aji can pass the test."

Izeshan was speechless at first, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, you guys are done with this fight, go back."

After a pause, he took out his mobile phone: "Come, come, change your contact information, and come to me if you have anything to do in the future."

Monk An Lin and brother Inoue were overjoyed, and brother Inoue even asked wittily: "We have a group of swordsmen of the same period, do you want to join?"

Izesugi said briskly, "Yes."

Brother Inoue is a reporter, has a lot of friends, and has connections with many swordsmen. He has drawn Izesugi into several groups, and there is even a group marked as the second team of the Hidden Army.

"Ah, I'm a reporter. If I get some special news, I'll pass it on to Yin."

Brother Inoue said with a smile, "My lord is very generous. He rewards those of us who provide additional information, which is also a source of living expenses."

The lord that Brother Inoue mentioned is naturally Akiya Fujishita, the current head of the Fujita family.

After hearing this, Izawasugi showed a swollen posture, and didn't tell Brother Inoue at all that he himself had a good relationship with Yin before, and he found some relationships through Umo Tengen after he came back.

Izeshan said: "The modern age is different from the past. In the past, we only needed to focus on killing the enemy. In modern times, we have the Internet, video, and monitoring, and all aspects of the relationship must be taken care of. have serious consequences."

Brother Inoue gave Izesugi a thumbs up: "You are right, our reporter is very well informed."

After Izeshan sent the two of them back to rest, they went into the next round of invigilation.

He separated Tong Mo, which means that one person has to watch eight battles. It can be said that he is the one who has the clearest understanding of the swordsman's strength among these pillars.

After the one-day competition, all the swordsmen, including Tanjiro Kamado, who had the best physical strength, couldn't help but collapsed to the ground. They gathered in the Ohiro room, waiting for the final result.

Kamado Tanjiro tried his best to KO Hei Inosuke and ranked first in points.

The swordsmen from the police station have come to congratulate Kamado Tanjiro. After the three of them join forces to fight, they have no objection to Tanjiro becoming a pillar, and they think that Kamado Tanjiro is the most qualified to become a pillar.

But whose second spot will it be?

While everyone was waiting nervously, the sound of light or heavy footsteps came from outside.

The pillars came together.

This time, Kanroji Mitsuri also wore a haori, and came to meet everyone with a smile.

"Wow! Is this the newly selected swordsman?"

Kanroji Mitsuri's smile was as sweet as spring cherry blossoms in April.

"I'm Lianzhu, but..."

She touched her lower abdomen and showed an embarrassed smile: "You have also seen that I am going to be a mother, so I retired."

Ihei Bane supported his wife and sat down. The swordsmen who had never seen Ganluji Miri all showed surprise. Brother Inoue gasped: "Pillar?"

Monk An Lin said angrily: "Don't look so stupid, didn't Ye Shoulang say that before? Lian Zhu was once Yan Zhu's stepson, and later got married."

Umokichi had seen photos of Ganluji Mitsuri, but had never seen a real person, so he couldn't help but say, "What a..."

Just looking at this lady, I will feel the warmth of happiness in my heart, as if the flowers are blooming gorgeously, as if the summer fireworks are exploding in the night.

A swordsman from the police station said gently: "Congratulations, it's just that you have to take care of yourself, your body is more important."

The policemen who have been running around the scene and the office all the year round saw Ganlusi Mitsuri, and immediately felt a sense of responsibility with a heavier badge on their shoulders.

Yihei Xiaoba stared blankly at the other party: "I will take good care of her, you don't need to care."

Swordsman: "..."

"Hanai." Ganluji Mitsuri smiled, she stretched out her hand to grab Ihei Xiaohane's sleeve, and said, "Sit down."

The pillars entered the door one after another and sat down. Purgatory Xingshourou clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to come over.

"This is Lianzhu Ganlusi Mili. Of course she is Mrs. Yihei now. You have also seen that she is retiring for personal reasons, and I will also be retiring. That's why I have this Pillar Assessment."

Purgatory Kyojuro took out the score sheet: "The first place this time is Kamado Tanjirou, Kamado, congratulations, I will entrust you with the team's affairs from now on!"

Kamado Tanjiro was very excited: "Thank you for your teaching, seniors, I will work hard."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki continued: "Tanjirou, don't worry."

He looked at Shitouichiro: "Xiazhu was assessed by Mr. Purgatory, Chongzhu was promoted to Zhuzhu by accumulating the amount of tasks and her special enemy skills, and Morizhu defeated Xia Xiangui back then, according to the usual practice promotion."

"Now that the ghosts have disappeared, the enemies we need to deal with have also changed, so we can't select Zhuzhu according to the assessment methods of Zhuzhu and Senzhu, then there is only one."

Purgatory Xingshou Lang said loudly: "The assessment will be made by Zhu, to confirm whether the swordsman has enough ability and heart to become the pillar of the ghost killing team."

"This time, there are five other swordsmen with the same rank in the Yaowu selection, besides Kamado Tanjiro."

Purgatory Kyojuro shook the points list: "Fukuzawa Yukichi, my wife Zenitsu, Zuihei Inosuke, Kurikaro Kanai, and Umokichi."

After a pause, he added: "Fuzawa gave up automatically, so there are four swordsmen left."

Kamado Tanjiro looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi in surprise, but the swordsman at the police station and Brother Inoue had already expected it. After all, everyone is a mature social person and has already shouldered other responsibilities.

Purgatory Kyojuro continued: "The four swordsmen don't need to hold any additional matches. You and Tanjiro will participate in the third assessment together."

My wife Shanyi yelled strangely: "What? Together?!"

Yumoji was also very surprised: "Didn't you say to choose the first two?"

Izeshan hadn't spoken before, but now he said with a smile: "Because the sound column also intends to retire, Mr. Yihei won't be able to work for a while, after all, he has to help Ganlu Temple take care of the children. And I, Mr. Bushichuan and Mr. Wuichiro's time is also not suitable, and more outstanding swordsmen are needed to make up for it at any time."

Tomioka Giyuu said: "So the five of you come to the assessment together. Of course, Tanjiro, you only need to get the approval of a pillar."

"The remaining four people will be voted on by us after several assessments, and the person with the most votes will be elected as the pillar."

Izesugi added: "That's basically it. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, expressing their understanding.

Then Butterfly clapped her hands with a smile: "Okay, the second assessment is over. Let's have dinner together in the evening, and then have a good rest. There will be a car to take you back to the Purgatory Dojo tomorrow morning."

"There are no pillars tonight, everyone can communicate freely."
