Chapter 3 - The Side Effects of the Stripes! Isn't Romeo Afraid?

After listening to Mrs. Amane's words, everyone finally understood what the stripes meant to them.

Madam Amane looked at Romeo and bowed to him: "Please, Master Romeo, please tell everyone the conditions for awakening the stripes."

Romeo was a little surprised by Mrs. Amane's bow. He didn't expect that the other party would be so reasonable.

Since Romeo had already promised Ubuyashiki Kagaya, he had no intention of hiding it.

The next moment Romeo stood up: "Then let me tell you."

Reporter Romeo repeated in detail what was said on Tian Zhu Mountain, but he also combined the content of the original plot.

It can be said that the pattern is explained thoroughly.

[You are explaining the stripes, and you have gained a lot during the explanation, and your understanding of the stripes has been further deepened.]

[Your markings have reached the point where they can appear in a single thought]

[Your markings have evolved, and your physical fitness has been greatly enhanced]

Romeo was stunned. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.

Feeling the unusual movement from inside his body, the markings on Romeo's body soon began to spread further.

The black auspicious cloud pattern quickly spread along the neck to the body like a bizarre tadpole, and in a moment the pattern covered Romeo's entire body.

The next moment, with Romeo's thought, these patterns disappeared quietly again.

This scene greatly shocked all the pillars present. If Mrs. Amane had not reminded them before, they might have thought that the strange scene just now was vampire magic.

"Is this the pattern? It is indeed very similar to the pattern of a demon." A pillar couldn't help but sigh. It was the first time he saw such a strange scene on a human.

The other pillars were thinking about the information in Romeo's words.

"The heartbeat is over 200 times and the temperature is 39 degrees?"

Doctor Kochou Shinobu was the first to raise a question: "Can you move in that state? It's a matter of life and death."

"Yes." Romeo nodded, "This is the key to screening. The ghost forced me into a life-and-death situation before, so I awakened."

"If you want to try, who will be born and who will be born will all depend on your awareness."

The pillars were silent.

They all understood the hidden meaning behind Romeo's words.

Romeo's markings were awakened after experiencing life and death, and his awareness was no less than anyone else present.

"Isn't this quite easy to achieve?" Shinazugawa nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this didn't seem to be difficult at all.

But this statement was retorted by Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu: "I really don't know what's going on in your simple mind that you actually think this kind of thing will be easy."

Shinazugawa said angrily: "What did you say?"

"He's right." Romeo continued, "You really have a simple mind."

"You kid!" The veins on Shinazugawa's forehead bulged, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

"Please be quiet, sirs."

Mrs. Amane's words calmed the atmosphere again, but her next words undoubtedly sounded the alarm for everyone.

"The stripes also have corresponding side effects."

Xiao Banei asked in confusion: "What is it?"

Mrs. Amane's answer was a little hesitant: "Yes..."

"It is an advance withdrawal of life, because people who open the mark cannot live beyond 25 years old." Romeo did not intend to hide it from everyone. Those present were all pillars, and there was no one who was afraid of death.

However, this sentence still made the expressions of the pillars present freeze instantly.

Such a powerful side effect shocked everyone.

At the same time, they were also curious about how Romeo could say this without any reaction.

Romeo has already awakened his markings, which means he is destined to live no longer than 25 years old.

Isn't he afraid?

"As long as we can defeat Kibutsuji Muzan, this price is nothing."

"Since the side effects are so severe, how gorgeous will I be when my markings are awakened? I am really looking forward to it!"

The Flame Pillar and the Sound Pillar were the first to react. They did not retreat, but instead felt happy that they might also gain such powerful strength.

This couldn't help but move Romeo. Although he was well aware of the original plot, he was still moved by the pillars' awareness.

The next moment, the other pillars showed relieved expressions.

Since the markings are so powerful, it is only natural that they have such fierce side effects.

Then the next step is to see who can open the pattern first.

The pillars all cast their gazes towards Romeo, their piercing eyes completely different from before.

Since Romeo has awakened the pattern, whoever gets Romeo will have the upper hand!

Romeo is now no different from a hot treasure.

"In that case, I will take Romeo back." Flame Pillar laughed heartily.

"No, I have to come. I have three wives at home and I can definitely entertain Mr. Romeo well." Uzui Tengen rushed directly in front of Romeo in a gorgeous manner.

Xiazhu stopped him: "I think Romeo and I are about the same age, Romeo will probably like me more."

"Why don't you just go to my house? I have cream cakes there."

Lianzhu, who had been silent, spoke with a red face, and seemed to be looking forward to Romeo's reply.

Seeing this, Iguro Obanai showed a gloomy expression: "Go to my place, I can discipline Romeo!"

Only Shinazugawa looked dissatisfied.

He always felt that Romeo's awakening of the markings was an unexpected coincidence, and it looked like the other party had never even mentioned Nichirin Blades, so how could it be as powerful as Lady Amane boasted?

Unless he defeats him, he will never be able to recognize the other party.

Thinking of this, Shinazugawa said: "Although everyone thinks that the stripes are very strong, it does not mean that Romeo has the strength of a pillar. This kid probably hasn't even mentioned a knife, right?"

Shinazugawa's words immediately woke everyone up.

They almost forgot what Ubuyashiki Kagaya said.

The next moment, Shinazugawa half-knelt in front of Ubuyashiki Kagaya: "My Lord, I recognize Romeo's talent, but I don't think he can be given a pillar-level position!"

"The rules of the Demon Slayer Corps over the years have always been that strength and contribution come first. If Romeo can become a pillar just by awakening his markings, then he is not worthy of the awareness of those ordinary swordsmen!"

"Does Romeo have the resolve to slay ghosts?"

Romeo narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knew that this was due to Shinazugawa's personality, but anyone would feel uncomfortable being looked down upon by the other side!

It seems that I need to teach him a lesson.

Ubuyashiki Kagaya said: "Since Shiya doesn't agree with my decision, then Romeo will compete with Shiya in two months. If Shiya still can't agree with Romeo by then, then let Romeo take part in the selection assessment."

"I refuse." Romeo suddenly said.
