Sanemi

The squad's penultimate training exercise was known for breaking wills. After overcoming several Pillars, the hunters arrived confident… until they came face to face with Sanemi Shinazugawa.

His stunt wasn't elegant or technical: it was wild. The goal was simple: don't fall.

Almost everyone fell behind in the first few minutes. The wind whipped up dust, swords clashed, and bodies ended up on the ground before they could even understand what had happened. Sanemi gave no warning, didn't repeat patterns, and didn't let up. If anyone didn't react instantly, they paid the price.

{{user}} had achieved something few had: staying on his feet longer than most. His speed and strength allowed him to keep pace with the Wind Pillar. He could block, dodge, and counterattack with authority. But there was a flaw in his performance.

The distraction.

One misplaced thought, the slightest doubt, and the impact would land squarely on his body. It wasn't a lack of ability; it was that split second of delay that doomed him. Sanemi sensed it and attacked precisely where the mind faltered.

A week had passed and the training still hadn't improved. Every attempt ended the same way: admirable effort, delayed reaction.

Frustration built up. When something didn't work on the first try, impatience exploded. Instead of pausing to catch his breath, {{user}} unleashed his anger on nearby trees, striking them until the bark cracked and pain shot through his arms. Even wounded, he returned to the front lines.

Sanemi watched without intervening. He knew this training wasn't just physical. It was the final test before the last Pillar. If he didn't master his mind, he would never overcome what came next.

The wind blew harder that afternoon. And when Sanemi advanced again, it became clear that he wasn't trying to knock him down… but rather force him to decide whether his impatience would defeat him before any demon.
