Under a clear blue sky, El was in the same place where he had tried using the Thunder Breathing Style.
All around El were many trees that had fallen down. In fact, there were several trees that had fallen with their trunks torn apart by the claws of wild animals.
({N/A}: Insane bastard! You really want to make the beautiful forest in Kimetsu no Yaiba World bare? Well, I prepared something very interesting for you damn it!)
However, it's not just the trees that have been uprooted. The ground in the forest seemed to be dredged with heavy equipment, making the beautiful scenery in the forest where El was currently standing look like an imperfect construction area.
Over the past few days, El had given Tanjiro some instruction on how to properly use Kagura's Hinokami moves. The rest, Tanjiro himself would understand the movements of Hinokami Kagura.
In addition, El was also helped by Shinobu to kindly train Inosuke and Zenitsu using Total Breathing Concentration constantly.
On the other hand, El also took the time to visit several other Hashira who were baking to ask them to demonstrate their basic Breathing Styles.
As a result, El had learned all of their Breathing Styles, except Kanroji Mitsuri's and Gyomei Himejima's due to the unusual and unique design of their Nichirin Weapons.
Kanroji Mitsuri's Nichirin Weapon was unlike most Demon Slayers using a standard katana, Mitsuri used a Nichirin sword that was very thin, flexible, and long, more similar to a whip.
This made El unable to use, let alone maximize the Love Breathing Style.
"Anyway, Mitsuri's Nichiri weapon makes me think of the urumi Sword." said with a sigh.
Urumi is an Indian sword with a flexible blade that is treated more as a whip sword, made with a special combination of steel and therefore requires knowledge of whips and swords to be able to use it.
"For the Stone Breathing Style, I don't think I can learn it." thought El recalling the design of Gyomei's Nichirin weapon.
Meanwhile, Nichirin Gyomei Himejima's weapons use a spiked whip and an axe reminiscent of the Kusarigama, a weapon consisting of a scythe and heavy iron weights connected by metal chains.
As such, Gyomei would use a similar fighting style known as Kusarigamajutsu.
"System, open the status panel." said El in a low tone of voice.
Ding!

Basically, all Breathing Styles are derived from the Sun Breathing Style. If only El learns other Breathing Styles, then all those Breathing Styles will not be listed as skills because El has already learned the Sun Breathing Style.
Sun Breathing Style was the mother of all the most exotic Breathing Styles that existed in the Kimetsu no Yaiba World.
"Hn, so even though I've learned the Wind, Water, Fire, Lightning and Fog Breathing Styles, as long as I've learned the Sun Breathing Style, then they won't be listed, right?" El muttered looking at the status screen.
Not long after, El felt the presence of Shiro who flew over. Seeing the direction Shiro was coming from, El raised her right arm and deliberately let Shiro perch to rest for a moment.
Wondering the purpose of Shiro's arrival this time, El asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hoo, Hoo! You may undergo the mission that will be given to Hashira Api with the permission of Oyakata-sama." said Shiro in a girlish tone of voice.
"It's been six days already? I wonder, have Zenitsu and Inosuke really been able to use Total Breathing Concentration constantly?" El wondered in thought.
In the Kimetsu no Yaiba Anime, Inosuke and Zenitsu managed to use Total Breathing Concentration after 8 days of training by Shinobu Kocho. After that, Zenitsu and Inosuke were invited by Tanjiro to go to Kyojuro.
El suddenly remembered yesterday morning before going to visit Hashira the mist. "It should have been. I remember, yesterday Inosuke and Zenitsu were able to blow the big gourd jug until it broke."
A grin spread across El's face. "Hehe, let's take the four of them to the next Arc, Mugen Ressha Hen."
By taking Kyojuro's place during the mission in the Mugen Ressha Hen arc, El prevented Kyojuro's death from fighting Akaza, the third-ranked top 12 Kizuki Moon.
El intends to make Kyojuro one of the biggest forces in the final arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba. However, much more importantly, El will utilize Akaza to give his blood and the first step of getting the Demon slayer Mark.
"Maybe one of the steps to getting the Demon slayer mark will be painful! But no problem, I already have a solution." El said happily.
Shiro was stunned, noticing that his master had been acting strangely. "Master isn't sick, is he?"
In the back of has mind, Shiro was worried about employer's mental health. Because has employer's reputation was very bad and was greatly feared by other lower-level demons and Demon slayers.
'I hope Master is alright.' Shiro said in his mind and offered a prayer.
When El was about to walk, the system's holographic screen suddenly appeared. Curious, El paused and read the notification.
Ding!

Seeing this, El's already cold expression became even colder.
The afternoon breeze was blowing coolly, making his hair sway and dance with the wind.
"What the fuck! Holy shit! You're out of your mind! You bastard! This time, the System must really want to kill me! I'm pretty sure of it!" Inevitably, El let out all kinds of curses.
"How do you find the location of the Infinite castle, anyway?" muttered El with great annoyance.
This made Shiro startle and fly away in fear, away from El. But, that's not what El cared about at the moment.
Because right now, El was lost in thought.
'I don't know why the side missions given by the Rencarnation Room only complicate myself and make me even more dizzy!'
El recalled the side missions given by the Rencarnation Room. Among all the missions, there were those that almost got his killed and only made it harder.
As already explained, side missions are not mandatory for a Beyonder to do. But, the side missions done will affect the evaluation.
However, what is much more troublesome is that every side mission's punishment is real. That's why it was unlikely that a side mission would become a main mission if the Rencarnation Room System penalized a Beyonder's failure.
'Ugh, this conditional side mission with the penalty of failure makes me afraid that one day the System will ask me to fight Gilgamesh of Type-Moon with my bare hands and bound feet.'
'Isn't this tantamount to giving up my life for nothing?'
'Argh... I'm starting to get suspicious! The Rencarnation Room's creator god is a sadistic perverted criminal!' El said in thought.
The more El thought about all the things that might happen, the more her cold expression turned into helplessness.
"I don't want to take this side mission even if the reward is 25,000 points." El then sighed helplessly.
