A month later, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke mastered Total Concentration Constant, maintaining it even while sleeping.
They could now burst the giant gourds and matched Kanao in water balloon fights and tag, regaining their confidence.
The Moonslayer unit's one-month deadline yielded surprising results. Excluding Ryuji, of the seven trainees, only one female trainee mastered Total Concentration Constant.
Two others couldn't even maintain it for ten minutes. Four others showed progress, lasting several hours.
Among the four, Shinichi Murata was the most advanced, maintaining Total Concentration Breathing for twelve hours, though not mastering it completely. Given time, he'd likely master it.
His brother, Shinichi Murata, due to age and aptitude, lagged behind, managing only six hours.
The remaining two trainees lasted only around three hours.
Due to these unexpected results, Ryuji only dismissed the two who couldn't manage ten minutes, keeping Shinichi, Shinichi, and the other two who showed potential.
This delighted the remaining trainees; Ryuji keeping them meant they had room for improvement, a prospect they welcomed.
However, the other two trainees expressed their dissatisfaction. If the others could stay, why not them?
"It's unfair! If they can stay, why not us?!"
"Yeah! They didn't master Total Concentration Constant either!"
They voiced their strong objections to Ryuji's decision.
Ryuji smiled faintly. He wasn't looking down on them; their unwillingness to leave indicated their acceptance of the Moonslayer unit and him.
"You couldn't even manage ten minutes. What reason do I have to keep you?"
"Perhaps expecting you to master Total Concentration Constant within a month was too much, but your performance gives me no reason to keep you."
"If you're dissatisfied, I'll give you another month. Maintain Total Concentration Breathing for six hours, and you can rejoin. If not, you'll fall behind and become a burden."
"Total Concentration Constant is essential for entering a new realm. If you want to grow stronger, master it."
Ryuji's response was clear, offering a second chance while providing a path to improvement.
