The disappearance of the Soul Reaper Captain- level Reiatsu meant that they had returned to Soul Society, and the Quincy no longer had to worry.
Ryūsaki had been skipping school to practice whipping lately, but after his parents were called in a few times, he finally behaved himself. Just when everyone thought it would be another boring day, a transfer student arrived...
"Hello everyone, my name is Shūkurō Tsukishima. From today onwards, we are classmates. Please take good care of me."
"Nine Springs just left, and a new classmate has already arrived!"
"He looks decent enough!"
"Looks like you're easy to bully! Hehe."
"Let's all get along peacefully~ Tsukishima, you can sit over there!"
The classroom was filled with whispers at first, then the teacher's sweet voice came through. Sleepy-eyed Ryūsaki looked up and saw that a new transfer student had arrived.
The man was refined and handsome, with black pupils and short black hair. There was a white cotton pad covering his forehead and temple, indicating a fresh wound.
As Ryūsaki was sizing up Tsukishima, he had already walked over to the empty table next to Ryūsaki with his backpack and sat down. The two looked at each other, and Tsukishima flinched away as if he had been electrocuted... mainly Ryūsaki's expression, hairstyle, and eyes looked a bit fierce.
'Tch, looks a bit effeminate!'
After muttering to himself, Ryūsaki ignored it and focused on listening to the lesson. Occasionally, the roars of Hollows could be heard nearby, but they were soon extinguished by the two familiar Reiatsu.
Ryūsaki remembered their names; they were probably Ginjo and Takumi. These two had left a deep impression on him; they weren't Soul Reapers, yet they were doing the work of Soul Reapers...
A pleasant day began with the last physical education class in the afternoon. Ryūsaki made a bet with the PE teacher that if he could do 100 push-ups, he could leave class early.
As expected, he did it easily. Amidst the envy of his classmates, Ryūsaki left school smugly and went to an arcade to crush everyone with his skills...
"Green Hair, why are you just cowering like a turtle? Why don't you move a little? One life against Sanjo, do you even know how to play?"
Ryūsaki, controlling Iori Yagami, relentlessly attacked Kyo Kusanagi, controlled by the green-haired guy next to her. Kyo Kusanagi kept dodging or simply parrying.
"Big brother, fight back!"
"Nonsense, do you think I wouldn't move if I could move?"
Green Hair's younger brother, Red Hair, also got anxious and urged his older brother to fight back.
'What should we do? How is this kid so strong? No, if even with Sanjo lives, my brother can't beat him with one, it'll be too embarrassing... What should we do?'
As Green Hair was getting anxious, his younger brother Red Hair suddenly noticed that Ryūsaki was only sitting on one side of the high stool. He immediately hatched a wicked plan and kicked the stool away.
"Holy shit!"
Caught off guard, Ryūsaki landed on his bottom, his hands leaving the control panel, Iori Yagami Stillness.
Green Hair's eyes lit up – what a great opportunity! He frantically manipulated Kyo Kusanagi, unleashing a combo that instantly killed Iori Yagami.
"Hahaha, I won, kid. You said you'd shut me out, but I still managed to take one down. Ahahaha." Green Hair laughed loudly.
Is it something to be happy about winning by cheating?
Ryūsaki's face, which was initially happy, was now filled with anger; he was truly shameless. This reminded him of his past life, when a certain country's e-sports team couldn't win, and the Fans unplugged the internet on the spot.
"I didn't pull it out, what's it to me?" Green Hair retorted confidently.
"Really? So it's none of your business if I beat up your brother?" Ryūsaki was completely enraged, turned around and punched the red-haired guy twice, sending him flying backward.
"You bastard, you dare hit my brother, Die!"
Green Hair rushed over, flew out again, and smashed the screens of two machines. The whole process was incredibly smooth.
"You brat, how dare you cause trouble here?"
Crash! Bang!
When the security guard came over, he was slapped away. Other security guards and the boss's henchmen rushed over to stop Ryūsaki, but they all ended up getting slapped or punched.
Just as a tall figure appeared behind Ryūsaki turned around and slapped him, but unexpectedly, his hand was grabbed.
Ryūsaki frowned when he saw the guy with the slicked-back hair... This was Ginjo, the one who had been wielding the Cross Greatsword before.
"Kid, you're pretty good at fighting! But... wait, what's that? It's you? Chains School Student?" Ginjo muttered to himself, slightly surprised to recognize Ryūsaki.
"Chains, elementary school student? Those are the nicknames you gave me? Hmph, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Ryūsaki was a little angry about the nickname, but he still didn't really want to deal with Soul Reaper, Quincy and Soul Reaper remained enemies.
"Don't rush off! Let's settle this mess you made of the arcade first." Ginjo blocked Ryūsaki's path, preventing him from leaving.
Ryūsaki sized up Ginjo: "What does this have to do with you? Did you own it? You don't look like a rich person."
Ginjo wiped the slight embarrassment from his face and laughed, "I didn't own it, but I work here temporarily, so it's kind of under my protection."
Ryūsaki thought for a moment and decided it wasn't wise to clash with this guy, so she said to Ginjo, "Someone will come over to negotiate with you later. It's getting late, I'll head back now."
Please wait a moment.
"You disagree? Or do you think I'll back out of the deal?"
When Ryūsaki was stopped again, his tone became noticeably unfriendly. He had no intention of skipping out on the bill; to the Ishida Family, this amount of money was nothing.
Moreover, the other party should already have memorized my spiritual network, so finding me shouldn't be difficult.
"Don't be angry. I just wanted to get to know you. My name is Kūgo Ginjō. I'm the Substitute Soul Reaper of this city, helping to clean up Hollows, which are evil spirits. Please take care of me."
With a sincere smile on his face, Ginjo extended his strong hand to shake hands with Ryūsaki.
' Substitute Soul Reaper? I guess it's a human who possesses power and chooses to help Soul Reaper eliminate Hollows!' Ryūsaki guessed the meaning of Substitute Soul Reaper in his mind, and introduced himself, "Ryūsaki Ishida, a student. Goodbye, Ginjo."
After Ryūsaki introduced herself, she didn't reach out to shake his hand, nor did she ask any further questions. Who knows if this guy had any surveillance technology around him?
"If you encounter Xu again, you can find me at No. 38, South Sixth Lane. I live there."
Ginjo seemed always ready to help, and Ryūsaki couldn't help but give this big, goofy guy a thumbs up; just from that point of view, he was quite competent...
Does it feel different from Ginjo in the original timeline? That's right, it's different.
In this timeline, the person who proposed making Ginjo Substitute Soul Reaper five years ago was not Ukitake, but Ukitake's friend Kyōraku, who monitored him while also making him an ally of Soul Society.
Ginjo, who should have betrayed his comrades after their deaths, is still acting as Substitute Soul Reaper... simply because Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who ordered the killing of his comrades and used them for experiments, is already dead.
In the process of killing Toki no Tokinada Tsunayashiro with a few swift strokes, Ginjo and his companion Takumi's fates were also altered.
Not only Ginjo, but Zero has been slowly changing the history of Soul Society, but the people within it do not feel anything is wrong and think it is a normal part of history.
Ryūsaki's acquaintance with Ginjo was just the beginning. The next day, he met Ginjo and his companion Kitahara Takumi, who were picking up an adopted younger brother from school.
Coincidentally, the guy who was adopted was Shūkurō Tsukishima...
Before Tsukishima transferred schools, he had a happy, large family. His parents had nine children, including biological and adopted children, and he was the youngest, the ninth child.
From the age of six, his parents and siblings died one after another due to various supernatural events. Only Tsukishima, with a certain sense of danger, repeatedly escaped the dangerous things that caused the supernatural events.
The police couldn't find the cause. Tsukishima said that unseen evil spirits were chasing his family. The police didn't believe him, thinking he was Illusion, and that it was unbelievable since he was just a child.
Until he was nine years old, his Reiryoku naturally grew to several times higher than that of a normal person. He saw the existence of evil spirits and also accidentally saw Ginjo, who had become a soul, kill evil spirits.
Finally, he revealed his past: he was adopted by Ginjo... The kind-hearted Ginjo decided to train him to become a master, so he taught Tsukishima Fullbring...
Ginjo is not extreme now, so Tsukishima has not been affected... at least it hasn't become the kind of despicable person who likes to fool others.
Ginjo tried to find out about Ryūsaki's abilities, but Ryūsaki remained silent, only saying that it was innate and that she could see ghosts and spirits from a young age.
Left with no other option, Ginjo abandoned his attempt to probe... The Court Guard Squads immediately stored Ryūsaki's information in the Research and Development Institute's database via surveillance cameras...
When Ginjo truthfully reported the information about Ryūsaki, Shunsui Kyōraku, who was in contact with him, hoped that Ginjo would turn Ryūsaki into an ally.
To express an instruction without giving it in a commanding tone... Only the cunning and shrewd Kyōraku could do this, speaking to an ordinary Pluses without the slightest arrogance.
