Soi Fon's Life-Size Doll

The meeting place was Captain-Commander Yamamoto's kendo room, whose decor fully reflected the Captain-Commander Yamamoto's rich heritage.

At the emergency meeting, I was the only one there. Soi Fon stood before Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and this time she seemed inexplicably nervous.

She considers herself a warrior, and her life revolves around obedience. Even if Captain-Commander Yamamoto gives her a mission that means certain death, Soi Fon won't flinch.

But she worried that being summoned at this time meant that the mission might be related to Dōsan Hanyū.

Primarily responsible for executions, her biggest worry right now is that Captain-Commander Yamamoto has ordered her to assassinate Dōsan Hanyū.

Thinking about all this, Soi Fon tugged at the hem of her haori, waiting for Captain-Commander Yamamoto's order.

Fortunately, Yamamoto didn't keep Soi Fon waiting too long.

"Soi Fon, in the South Rukongai District 78, traces of Intermediate Menos Grande have been discovered. I need you to handle it."

"Intermediate Menos Grande, Adjuchas?" Soi Fon muttered.

This task normally falls under the responsibilities of the 11th Division.

Moreover, Kenpachi Zaraki would probably be very happy to do this kind of task.

But Soi Fon didn't ask a single question; obedience was her duty.

"Be careful on this mission, because this Intermediate Menos Grande isn't just a simple soul-devouring creature. According to intelligence, this Menos Grande is preparing to build a node in South District 78."

Lower-level Menos Grande Gillian are generally unable to invade Soul Society in large groups; they require nodes.

Nodes can not only establish channels, but also construct Negación.

Every time Menos Grande appears in Soul Society capable of creating Negación, it is a disaster for Soul Society.

Menos Grande who do such things in Soul Society generally have the ultimate goal of ruling Soul Society. Menos Grande who dare to plan such things are not to be underestimated.

Soi Fon, also serious, knew this mission wouldn't be completed quickly, and casually asked, "After I leave, who will take over the Second Division?"

Her intention was to allow Dōsan Hanyū to return to his original position, or at least to rejoin the Thirteenth Division, but clearly, Yamamoto did not give her that opportunity.

"The duties of the Second Division will be handled by the newly appointed Second Division Vice-Captain, Marechiyo Ōmaeda."

His own missions take at least two months, during which time Ōmaeda is in charge of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Second Division. His power is no less than that of the previous Dōsan Hanyū, only he lacks the title of acting captain.

Given Ōmaeda's abilities, it would be difficult for him to gain the respect of others; if there were any problems, he wouldn't be able to resolve them.

Soi Fon still didn't say anything.

"Any other questions, Captain Soi Fon? This mission is quite dangerous. As for the Soul Reaper you're working with, you need to prepare the roster."

I hesitated for a moment.

Soi Fon tried to speak, "Captain-Commander Yamamoto, I'm worried that my abilities might not be up to the task. Besides some of the Soul Reaper from the Second Division, I'd also like to borrow an academy instructor."

"Academy tutor?"

"Yes," Soi Fon said, forcing a smile, "It's the fourth-year kendo instructor, Dōsan Hanyū."

Yamamoto remained silent for a long time.

Even when Suzumebachi thought he was going to refuse, Captain-Commander Yamamoto finally spoke up, "Yes."

Soi Fon breathed a sigh of relief.

If Dōsan Hanyū succeeds this time, he should be able to return to the ranks of the Soul Reapers.

Keep in mind that the position of Third Division Captain is currently vacant!

"Set off as early as possible tomorrow, don't delay."

"Yes!"

Soi Fon's reply was full of energy.

After Soi Fon left, Sasakibe stood beside Yamamoto, his face filled with worry. "The Tsunayashiro Clan is becoming increasingly arrogant, and the Artificial Soul Corps has made a major technological breakthrough. It's certain that Ichimonji has mastered the mass production of Captain-level Artificial Soul."

The Sasakibe was worried that Captain-Commander Yamamoto might overreact, potentially leading to an irreconcilable conflict between the Five Great Noble Clans and the Thirteenth Division.

That Zero Division might not be on their side.

Being expelled from the Thirteenth Division was seen as a great disgrace by others, and Soi Fon Dōsan Hanyū's defection.

Little did I know, Dōsan was quite pleased with himself, since he hadn't deducted my salary.

"Now I will continue the Kendo lesson for everyone."

On the first day, a special situation arose, today...

However, there are special circumstances.

On the platform, a "person" stood next to Dōsan.

It's not a person, but a small doll made of a special material.

She can't be called short; she's more like a life-size doll, the same size as Soi Fon. Her figure, including her face, is exactly the same as Captain Soi Fon's.

She was also wearing the Second Division Captain, and the black details under the haori were the traditional uniform of the Punishment Force.

This doll is amazing!

As soon as Dōsan Hanyū finished his opening remarks, he was drawn to the Soi Fon.

"You like it, right, Teacher Hanyū? This is a gift for you." Dōsan looked down and saw Number 360 staring at his feet with a mischievous grin. "This is a handmade Captain Soi Fon, and the internal structure is almost identical to it."

"Internal structure?"

Before Dōsan Hanyū could even speak, the other students were already losing their composure.

Since they're even structurally identical, who would want Soi Fon?

"Big sister, could you make me a doll of Captain Unohana?"

"I want Lieutenant Rangiku's."

"I want Captain Zaraki's doll."

The room fell silent immediately, especially since the one who said those words was a male student.

The male student's deskmate glanced at him with a look of surprise and fear, then lifted his slightly heavy bottom and moved away into the distance.

"Okay, okay." Number 360 gave an "OK" sign and laughed.

Seeing how approachable Number 360 was, the trainees cheered.

"Snap." Number 360 took a small square box, pressed it against his face, and slapped it.

This might be the world's earliest mini video recorder; their embarrassing situation was completely recorded by Number 360.

"Okay, I've recorded what you just said. I'll send it to the team leaders after class."

Suddenly, all the trainees became obedient.

The thought that his performance would be known to the captains made them want to build him a grave.

Most importantly, Number 360 never jokes; she keeps her word and is truly daring.

Looking into the pitiful eyes of the trainees, Number 360 revealed a devilish smile, "Of course, if you're willing to be my dogs, I can keep this secret for you."

The classroom was in complete chaos again. It has to be said that students like Number 360 would be considered problem students by any teacher.

However, Dōsan Hanyū's mind wasn't on that. He stroked the doll's snake braids, feeling that it really felt almost like a real person. How was that possible?

On the route that Dōsan Hanyū takes back to his office after class, Soi Fon and the expeditionary force of the Second Division are waiting for Dōsan Hanyū to finish his class.
