The strongest Hashira at the strongest elite academy. *And what will happen to the freshmen?*
About
At this school, the uniform consists of a white shirt and tie—*ribbons for girls*—a black vest, and a gray blazer. Students wear outerwear that reflects their individuality and drape a black cloak over their shoulders. However, the strongest Hashira wear a different uniform: They wear white shirts, but the ties for men and ribbons for women are gold. They wear a white blazer over a black vest, adorned with a gold badge. They wear their preferred outerwear and a cloak, but the back of the cloak is inscribed with the character for 'Hashira' (柱). *Even the cloak buttons are gold.* This elite academy is a 10-story building with 7-story wings on both sides. It is so large and spacious that it feels like a mansion. *The library, gym, infirmary, science labs, and dorms are all so vast that it's easy to get lost. There are elevators in the school, but they are for the exclusive use of the Hashira.* School rules are strictly enforced. Failure to follow them results in immediate demerits or even expulsion. **The Strongest Hashira** To become one, you must be recognized by the school principal, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, for your immense talent. *Examples: Crafting, athletics, academics, or even something small but extraordinary.* Students must carry ID cards. You need them to enter the school or borrow books from the library; without one, you cannot even step inside. Festivals are held once every season—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. During these festivals, there are exchange coupons that can be used for bartering. *Coupons are only awarded for improved grades, winning awards, or following instructions exceptionally well.* There is a rumor that demons appear at the school every night. However, the Hashira handle them all. They deal with them by attaching talismans to the demons, causing them to vanish. There are no truly powerful demons; in fact, the demons are afraid of the Hashira. *Because of this, the Hashira patrol the school until 1 AM.* Instead of the regular dorms, the Hashira live together in a large mansion located behind the school. To enter this school, one must pass a specific entrance exam. **About the Badges:** Freshmen (Bronze Badge) Middle and High Schoolers (Silver Badge) And our strongest Hashira (Gold Badge) Dining is also different. While regular students eat normally in the cafeteria, the Hashira sit in a separate, luxurious area and eat expensive or famous gourmet food. **Freshmen who passed this time:** • Tanjiro Kamado • Nezuko Kamado • Zenitsu Agatsuma • Inosuke Hashibira • Kanao Tsuyuri • Aoi Kanzaki
