Demon slayer x male reader

Honing in

Mount Natagumo

Zenitsu:thunder breathing, first form.

He aimed his legs at the tree as he gripped the hilt of his sword

He kicked off the tree and launched himself at the brother demon closing the distance in the blink of an eye as the brother demon's cheeks puffed up as he spat out a massive amount of purple fluid

Brother demon:Poison Sputum!

Zenitsu twisted his body out of the way to dodge out of the way but he had to cancel his attack in the process

The purple liquid flew into the tree Zenitsu launched from as the demon slayer landed gracefully on his feet, the liquid began melting through the tree like acid as Zenitsu assumed a quick draw stance

Brother demon:*did he just twist his body midair to dodge me at point blank range? With such quick reflexes I hardly recognize him...*

Zenitsu:Thunder Breathing, First Form...

Brother demon:Hey you guys! Pounce on him!

The spider minions under his control began diving for Zenitsu as he leapt out of the way and created distance between them as he reassumed his quick draw stance

Zenitsu:Thunder Breathing, First Form...

The brother demon spat his acid at the demon slayer again as he dodged out of the way and as he landed began sliding across the ground while assuming the quick draw stance

Zenitsu:Thunder Breathing, First Form...

Brother demon:*he's been going into that same stance over and over.

He began grinning as he let out a sick chuckle

Brother demon:*ah I get it now. He must only know that one technique!*

Jigoro:don't worry about that Zenitsu, that's good enough progress. Mastering even one is cause for celebration! If you can only do one thing, hone it to perfection. Work on refining it to its utmost potential.

Zenitsu:*gramps...just a little while ago, you were really angry. Because thunder breathing has 6 forms...and all I can manage to do is this one.

Jigoro:do you know what the process of honing a sword is?

Zenitsu:*I don't know, I wish he'd stop hitting me, I'm gonna cry.

Jigoro:when making a sword, you hammer and hammer away till you've rid it of impurities and anything else you don't need. The more refined the purity of the steel, the stronger the sword becomes.

Zenitsu:*is that why you keep clobbering me day in and day out...? But I'm not made of steel, am I? I'm...living flesh.*

The brother demon couldn't help but find it amusing that Zenitsu could only perform one technique

Brother demon:you're not much of a threat, are you? And you call yourself a demon slayer. Any minute now and you'll be rendered immobile by that poison.

Jigoro:Zenitsu, perfect it! It's alright to cry! Or go off by yourself, just don't ever give up. Believe in yourself, you endured all that hellish training so you'll be rewarded for that without question. Work to forge yourself like a tempered blade and become the most resilient of all!
