Surprise! I've Transmigrated Again

〚Transformation of Time Rain〛is a domain-type sword technique that, unlike〚Dead Calm〛, embodies the tranquil essence of water throughout its execution.

While employing the breathing technique, Adam infuses a large amount of Magical Power, maximizing the characteristic of tranquility. This vast magical power restrains the space around the enemy, severely suppressing their mobility and bringing them to a near-standstill state.

It's a divine technique where the potency of Magical Power infusion directly correlates with the deceleration of the enemy's attacks.

He adapted this technique from the Rain Guardian, Takeshi Yamamoto, in the anime" Katekyo Hitman Reborn ", blending it with his own understanding. The original technique was called Rainy Metamorphosis (Aggregate Art: Jiunoka).

The creation of〚Transformation of Time Rain〛filled Adam with pride. He could now move beyond solely relying on〚Analyze and Copy〛, allowing him to learn from others' strengths, compensate for his weaknesses, and transform their experiences into his own.

As Giyu faced the incoming blade, he attempted to resist but found himself enveloped in an indescribable energy that rendered him immobile.

Swoosh!

Adam's sword struck directly, devoid of fancy techniques, halting just a centimeter from Giyu's nose. The blade's sharp edge grazed his skin, yet his face remained impassive, betraying not the slightest hint of fear.

"..."

"That's enough!" Aoi declared, seeing the outcome decided. Her judgment was impartial.

Both combatants exhaled deeply and sheathed their swords.

"Thank you for the lesson!" They said in unison.

Adam accepted the towel Aoi handed him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and listened as Giyu inquired.

"What sword technique is this?" He asked bluntly, "This viscous feeling enveloping me... I sense it's the essence of water. Is it a form of Water Breathing?"

"That's right, it's a form of Water Breathing." Adam replied with a smile, "It's a technique I adapted and recreated based on a certain sword skill, using a special energy I inherently possess. That's why you felt immobilized by the envelopment."

Giyu fell silent, unwilling to speak further.

What he had created was something Giyu had realized through countless battles with demons, taking years to perfect before successfully applying it in real combat. Yet Adam, who had learned Water Breathing less than a week ago, had already comprehended a sword technique no weaker than〚Dead Calm〛.

Moreover, in this week, he hadn't just learned Water Breathing, but also Sun, Wind, Flame, Thunder, Beast, Mist, Rock, Insect, and Flower breathing techniques. Although his self-created sword technique was adapted from others, this talent was not to be underestimated.

'Indeed, a genius is a genius…' Giyu thought. Unlike himself, who had taken shortcuts.

Once again, he sank into self-loathing.

"Hey, you two, it's time to eat!" Mitsuri called out from a distance, "Today's dinner is very sumptuous. Come quickly!"

"Coming!" Adam responded. He turned to Giyu and said, "Let's go, let's have dinner first."

However, Giyu declined. He turned and left, saying in a tone devoid of emotion, "I'll pass. I'm different from them."

"You..." Adam's mouth twitched.

If he hadn't known from the original story that Giyu felt unworthy and avoided the other Pillars due to his inferiority complex, he might have thought he looked down on them.

"Well, let Tanjiro persuade him. It's a good chance to resolve his inner conflict." Adam considered following to offer some words of persuasion, but then remembered that Giyu had always wanted Tanjiro to inherit the position of Water Pillar.

At first glance, this seemed inconsequential. However, Tanjiro was actually more suited to Sun Breathing, being the Demon Slayer Corps' greatest trump card against Muzan, and could never become the Water Pillar.

Adam decided it would be better to let the young boy talk to Giyu, clarify things, and simultaneously help heal the wounds buried deep in his heart for years.

Back at the Butterfly Estate.

"Where's Giyu Tomioka?"

"Huh, where did that guy go?"

"He didn't leave, did he..."

"The solitary Tomioka-san... so cool!"

"Tch, that bastard!"

"Forget about him! Takeshi, come sit, let's eat!"

"Let's eat, let's eat!"

The Pillars, accustomed to Giyu's unsociable nature, barely reacted to his absence. Instead, they urged Adam to join them for the meal.

"Let's eat!" x9

As everyone dug into their rice bowls, conversation flowed about recent events and training issues within the Demon Slayer Corps. Most Pillars agreed: the new members were too weak to deserve a place in the Corps.

This sentiment wasn't new. For the past week, they'd been grumbling daily about unqualified recruits, accusing the cultivators of sending any riffraff their way, claiming these newcomers were unfit for Demon Slayer Corps training.

However, Adam noticed their complaints had become less frequent. Not because they'd accepted the members' incompetence, but because the recruits' abilities were steadily improving with training, gradually easing the Pillars' dissatisfaction.

The Demon Slayer Corps was visibly gaining strength, surpassing its former self. If anyone had impressed the Pillars from the start, it was undoubtedly Adam.

What a genius! An unprecedented genius! Even more brilliant than Muichiro! The Pillars realized that people truly couldn't be judged by the same standards.

First, there was Muichiro, who became a Pillar after wielding a sword for just two months. Now, Adam had mastered all breathing techniques in a week and was on par with the Pillars.

Initially, when they witnessed him effortlessly reproduce their painstakingly refined sword techniques after a single observation, the Pillars struggled to accept this paradigm-shattering phenomenon.

As Adam continued to effortlessly learn and master the Pillars' sword techniques, they gradually began to accept it as normal, eventually becoming desensitized to his extraordinary abilities.

It really is... too, too, too much of a genius! (Important things must be said thrice!)

After a while.

"Thank you for the meal!" x9

After the meal, the Pillars prepared to leave.

At this moment, Adam stood up and addressed everyone present, "Everyone, I'm planning to leave for a while."

"Leave?"

"...Hm?"

"Why?"

"What's the reason?"

"..."

His sudden announcement caught all the Pillars by surprise.

However, he didn't elaborate, only offering a vague explanation, "I need to return to my hometown. There's something I must take care of."

In reality, it wasn't anything significant. The {Cabbage Harvest Season Campaign} in the Parallel World was approaching, and he wanted to return early to capitalize on this money-making opportunity.

He hadn't forgotten his ξ200,000 debt to Wiz, and he also wanted to use this chance to acquire better equipment for his team members.

The other Pillars remained silent, but Shinobu smiled and said, "Well, since Suoh-kun says so, I'll arrange for someone to escort you out first thing tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your trouble, Shinobu." Adam nodded.

The Pillars' expressions subtly changed upon hearing this. They feared he might not return.

His talent was truly extraordinary, even surpassing Muichiro's. The Pillars had privately discussed before that the key to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji might not lie in Sun Breathing...

—but in Adam himself!

They had a premonition that the secret to slaying the Demon Progenitor rested with him.

However, since he wasn't an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps, they had no authority to keep him against his will.

'This is troubling. We must consult with the Master!' The Pillars thought, exchanging covert glances.

Adam remained blissfully oblivious to their concerns.
