The Soul King's Toe Bone, the San Fan Association

The Gotei 13 and Fourth Division Barracks the Gotei 13.

There were only three people in the enclosed medical team dormitory.

Retsu Unohana, Isane Kotetsu, and Dōsan Hanyū, who has just lost his Kidō.

Dōsan Hanyū lay quietly on the hospital bed; the testing equipment had just been removed.

In fact, based on nearly a thousand years of experience, Unohana can almost immediately tell whether a spirit has a problem.

However, to ensure accuracy this time, she unusually used a new instrument developed by the Twelfth Division.

But unfortunately...

Retsu Unohana left Dōsan's hospital bed and gently shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Hanyū, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with your body. As for the phenomenon you mentioned of being unable to use Kidō, I haven't detected anything abnormal."

The elegant and dignified Retsu Unohana smiled gently, her smile conveying no apology, but rather a great deal of friendliness.

She wasn't in a hurry.

Because, in fact, Unohana herself didn't think this would be a big problem.

The reason she was so serious was because Unohana had a strange interest in Dōsan.

Since the battle between Dōsan and Nemu, Unohana has started paying rare attention to Dōsan, this new Soul Reaper.

Perhaps it's because of Dōsan's talent for Kaidō the Dao.

Or perhaps it's the turbulent undercurrent hidden beneath the seemingly harmless exterior of the Daoist priest.

Fourth Division Vice-Captain Isane, who had only been in her position for less than three months, followed timidly behind Captain Unohana, her eyes occasionally glancing at Dōsan's face.

Even Retsu Unohana noticed the same thing about her subordinates; given Isane's usual behavior, this action was quite bold.

Although the presence of both the captain and vice-captain of the Fourth Division was quite a large-scale event, let's just talk about the injuries.

If Captain Unohana had arrived any later, she would have already recovered.

"Do you have any other feelings?" Unohana asked again.

Dōsan shook his head; he had already said what he needed to say.

"I have witnessed instances of Zanpakuto abilities being stripped away, and there are records in Soul Society being stripped of their Bankai abilities, but I have never heard of Kidō being stripped away."

Unohana forgot to mention one more thing: she had never heard of anyone being able to use Kidō) without having learned incantation, provided their Spiritual Pressure and control reached the required level.

"It might be due to overwork, Lieutenant Hanyū. You need to rest. You can also stay with the Fourth Division for a while, and I'll keep an eye on you."

For a Soul Reaper, a Soul Reaper with the ability of the Kidō, this was a very important matter.

Dōsan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. "Then I'll have to trouble Captain Unohana for a while. I need to attend the Kidō Exchange Meeting in a month."

Although the Kidō Exchange Meeting may not require Dōsan to participate personally, it would be embarrassing for the team leader not to be able to demonstrate a Kidō technique.

Unohana was unaware of Kidō Exchange Meeting and the nobles; the corruption between Soul Reaper and nobles wasn't limited to just this.

The reason she didn't notice the problem wasn't because her observation skills were inferior to Kyōraku's, but because Unohana was no longer concerned with current affairs; all she was doing now was treating patients and saving lives.

Even if you recover later, I still suggest you don't participate in this Kidō Exchange Meeting.

It wasn't because of the danger at the exchange meeting; according to past practice, there shouldn't be any surprises at the Captain-level.

However, in the Kidō Exchange Meeting, the leader representing the Soul Reaper side, regardless of victory or defeat, would inexplicably arouse the resentment of the nobles.

Historically, in the Soul Society, 80% of the troubles were caused by nobles.

This is detrimental to future development.

Dōsan nodded somewhat perfunctorily.

Given Unohana's temperament, this was already the limit for her to say something so casually. Seeing this, she simply closed the door for Dōsan.

Dōsan lay on the bed, sensing the state of his body.

In the past, he never considered the issue of strength, and his improvement in strength was always somewhat passive.

This time, however, Dōsan felt a deep emptiness.

Dōsan lay on the bed with his head tilted back, his chest feeling slightly hot.

"This is?"

Dōsan reached in and pulled out the finger bone jade carving he had obtained after killing Inorei Hikaru.

At this point, the jade carving had lost its original smoothness and luster; the surface looked like inferior paint melting under sunlight.

The bone surface melted and seeped into Dōsan's palm, and Dōsan inexplicably felt that mysterious, elusive feeling, as if he had lost something, return once more.

Retsu Unohana finished installing the door, a large group of female Soul Reaper and a fat man surrounded her.

Unohana smiled gently. "Lieutenant Hanyū is alright, but he might need to rest for a while."

Unohana took her leave, while Isane quietly glanced at the members of the Fourth Division who were holding up their nameplates and participating in this Kidō Exchange Meeting.

Nanao didn't speak; she was by nature aloof.

For Rangiku, the Kidō Exchange Meeting also presents dangers, so it's better not to participate.

Dōsan's female fans were stunned and put down their cards.

"Didn't we agree to spend a month together, day and night?"

The girl with the ponytail pressed her head against Ōmaeda's chest, shouting, "Give me my money back!"

"Give me my money back!"

The crowd was indignant.

They couldn't bear to let Giegie work while she was sick, but they still had to fight for her rights, and this money should be spent on her brother!

Refund?

Even the good- Ōmaeda got angry!

Good grief, your class not only dragged me into a suicide pact, but you also refused to train me and now you want a refund!

Sorry, once sold, no returns or exchanges!

Faced with more than a dozen mouths, Ōmaeda acted so toughly that Soi Fon and Dōsan would be quite surprised if they saw it.

After Ōmaeda is the Third Seat, so they can't directly force him.

"Hmph, Third Seat Ōmaeda, is our 'Third Seat' Association president here today?"

President of the San Fan Association?

What a ridiculous name!

"Haha... hiccup."

The laughter seemed to be choked off. Ōmaeda in disbelief. He couldn't believe it; this girl was on the same side as the dozen or so brainless women around them.

"Isane... Vice-Captain?"

Even Nanao Ise stared in disbelief at the tall man before her, Rangiku forgot to drink the sake in her cup.

Under the gaze of so many people, Isane seemed very flustered, her small hands waving back and forth, unsure of where to place them. After a moment, she took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Third Seat Ōmaeda, our San Fan Club is registered with the Thirteenth Division, and as the president of the San Fan Club..."

The timidity in Isane's eyes vanished, replaced by a determined gaze. She raised her small fist to her chin, declaring, "I will represent the San Fan Club and defend the legitimate rights and interests of all Three Fans!"

His impassioned speech left Ōmaeda completely dumbfounded.

The story of Dōsan Hanyū only circulated within a small circle.

Those people here are either tight-lipped or sycophants of Dōsan, so they all thought the news hadn't spread.

But actually, it was during the time that Dōsan came from the Second Division to the Fourth Division.

The fact that Dōsan Hanyū has lost his ability in the Kidō has already attracted attention from many parties.
