That Was Hasty

The next day, Dōsan yawned and, with the help of Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, served bowls of hot porridge, marking the start of the day.

Beside him, Ganju lay on the table, his slightly mature face looking resentfully at Dōsan, who had a calm expression.

"Brother Dōsan, why don't I feel like I've awakened any abilities?"

Indeed, I was a bit out of sorts yesterday, so the effects weren't very noticeable, but sitting next to Ganju, Dōsan could sense it.

This awakening of the soul's essential abilities is equivalent to the Bankai Soul Reaper; even without using the ability, the Spiritual Pressure will generally increase significantly.

The Ganju showed absolutely no increase in Spiritual Pressure.

But who was that woman yesterday who was dressed so provocatively?

Am I really dreaming?

I can't believe I'm having this kind of dream?

That's true. Back when they were in the Second Division, it was quite normal for adult men to have these kinds of dreams.

The Ganju was still muttering to itself.

Kūkaku rolled her eyes at her silly younger brother. "Back then, when Father and Mother wanted to have another child, I tried to stop them. Now, it seems they were too hasty."

Zanpakuto is a shortcut for Soul Reaper to train, and even so, on average, fewer than 20 people master Bankai every hundred years.

Even though I was eager for revenge, I never thought of taking this path.

How could his own younger brother possibly dream of awakening his abilities overnight?

"Hey, sister, I'm your own brother." Ganju was a little dissatisfied, but his gaze softened more and more when he met Kūkaku's eyes, and he finally mumbled, "I tried really hard yesterday."

Kūkaku ignored her foolish younger brother, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and said, "It's good enough that you can last a week."

I...

"Kūkaku- nee, Ganju -san, I'm going to the classroom."

Calculating the time, I realized I needed to use Shunpo; otherwise, my already leisurely teaching job would make me late again.

"Little Brother Dōsan, come back early, we still have training to do."

Dōsan gave a wry smile, as long as it's normal time.

Ganju waved cheerfully at Dōsan's departing figure.

Difficult doesn't mean impossible.

Thinking back, Dōsan, who stayed at my house back then, must have awakened his abilities back then, given all the strange things that happened.

Dōsan can do it, I have no reason to; I probably can't even do one-tenth of it.

Set a small goal first, for a short period of time; one-tenth of that is enough.

Hey-hey.

The research in YY even produced pig-like squeals, and before anyone could notice, the Ganju, in its frenzied movements, bumped its arm into the bowl in front of it.

With a "crack," the bowl in front of him shattered into pieces.

"Ganju Shiba!"

Before Ganju could react, her sister's love was already on her face.

"Spare me, my dear sister!"

Today's class was easier than I expected.

Dōsan Hanyū arrived at the classroom, yawning.

Dōsan hadn't arrived yet, but all the students who were supposed to be in the classroom were already there, even though there were only three of them.

Shin'ō Noble Guard, Number 360.

The fourth reincarnation of the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts, the Sōji Sanjō.

The first rebirth of the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts, Shūhei Hisagi.

The three people sat in separate rows, and none of them spoke to each other.

Of course, those who don't attend class can't all be high-ranking nobles with the power to talk to the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts.

It's just that Dōsan Hanyū's reputation has become too prominent in Seireitei lately.

The sound was so loud that these ordinary students from Rukongai were in no hurry to make contact with Dōsan Hanyū.

The entire Seireitei is not a single force that wants Dōsan Hanyū dead.

With one of the Five Great Noble Clans wiped out, the wrath of the Soul Reapers and the fear of the nobles needed a vessel to bear the brunt.

Even with various lame excuses, these students were unwilling to attend Dōsan Hanyū's classes anymore.

Dōsan, naturally, felt that there was less trouble.

The fewer people, the better. Empty spaces are just for show; go home and cook.

Dōsan Hanyū didn't have any particular ideas, but Sōji Sanjō had been quite active lately.

Although the Sanjō family had declined somewhat by the time of Sōji Sanjō, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily. This time, Sōji Sanjō truly put the rise and fall of his family on the gambling table.

With only a few minutes left before class, Sōji Sanjō noticed Shūhei Hisagi's tension and impatience.

"Don't worry, Lord Hanyū has never been late."

Of course, I have never arrived at class more than three minutes early.

"Yes." The setbacks of the past few months had made Shūhei cautious and even somewhat self-conscious.

Especially after a group of genius students, such as Rizukihime Kasumiōji and Inorei Hikaru, were exceptionally admitted to the Thirteenth Division, Sōji Sanjō became a prominent figure in the academy.

Yawen Library

Faced with Shūhei's somewhat defeated attitude, Sōji Sanjō remained tolerant and natural, even showing a nonchalant expression, because he still did not know what relationship this person had with Lord Hanyū.

Good morning, everyone.

Ten seconds before class started, Dōsan Hanyū stood on the podium. With his superb Shunpo, the hair on Dōsan's forehead was slightly messy.

"Lord Hanyū, thank you for your hard work," Sōji Sanjō greeted him immediately.

Shūhei was also very nervous and not quite used to the situation. He stood up awkwardly.

Only Number 360 remained with his usual nonchalant attitude, saying, "Congratulations, Captain Hanyū."

Captain Hanyū?

Does this woman know something inside?

What Sōji Sanjō thought would be just another ordinary lesson on building emotional connections turned out to be an unexpected bonus.

"Oh, and one more thing, I don't think you'll live much longer, so could you pay me back for the doll?"

What are you talking about?

Sōji Sanjō's eyes immediately fell on Number 360.

Ultimately, judgment is based on strength.

Given the strength that Lord Hanyū has demonstrated, if he wanted to leave, who could kill him?

This is also the direct reason why Sōji Sanjō is so loyal and even dares to take risks!

As long as he lives and remains invincible, Dōsan Hanyū will always be a promising talent!
