First, his heart was "stitched" back together, then his bones were reassembled, followed by the fusion of flesh and blood. Whether because his injuries were too severe or because Unohana wanted him to experience the mysteries of Healing Kidō for himself, the restoration took a long time.

About half an hour later, under Lu Li's watchful gaze, Unohana's slender hand brushed across his chest and abs before finally stopping at his waist. The wounds on his body vanished completely.

"So this is advanced Healing Kidō... It really is powerful."

Lu Li sighed softly. "But why does it feel like there's no fundamental difference from the Healing Kidō we learned in class? It's just that Teacher Unohana, your technique is more refined, and you're using more Reiatsu."

Unohana's eyes held appreciation and a trace of anticipation. "Your comprehension is excellent. Indeed, Healing Kidō has no distinction of rank. Whether someone's Healing Kidō is powerful mainly depends on their control. It is a process of practice making perfect, though talent is also very important."

"I think I understand a little. Let me try."

As Lu Li spoke, he rose to his feet and glanced at his tattered uniform, which had been slashed apart. I only have one school uniform... Looks like I'll have to borrow one from Sōsuke tomorrow.

He walked over to his workbench, pulled out the lab mouse with terrified eyes, and swiftly ran a small knife across it, opening its entire chest cavity.

Then Healing Kidō light glowed in his hand. He closed his eyes and began treating the lab mouse.

He had to imagine what it looked like when it was whole and restore it accordingly...

He had to control the Spirit Particles with greater precision, like threads...

Five minutes later, Lu Li looked thoughtfully at the lab mouse before him, which had already gone cold.

"Your technique is broadly correct, but your efficiency is far too low. A fatal wound will not give you that much time to repair it."

Unohana commented from the side.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Li took two steps back and looked at Unohana. "Teacher Unohana, let's do it again."

"Oh?"

Unohana was somewhat surprised, but she understood what Lu Li meant. "It seems you truly want to learn Healing Kidō that can be used in battle."

The next instant, Lu Li saw a fountain of blood again. Even though he had prepared himself this time, he still failed to catch Unohana's movements.

Looking at Lu Li lying beneath her and carefully experiencing her technique, Unohana sighed inwardly that her trip today had indeed not been wasted. The child she had casually brought back from the Street of Vagrants had truly given her quite a few surprises.

She had invited Lu Li in the first place because she had felt an instinctive sense that he was the same kind of person as her.

Like beasts meeting in the wilderness, a single glance was enough to recognize the ferocity in one another.

Yet Lu Li's performance had still brought her too many surprises. In swordsmanship, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido, he possessed top-tier talent in every field. Even his reason for wanting to learn Healing Kidō was the same as hers.

What reason did she have not to teach him?

The eightieth district of Northern Flowing Soul Street, namely Zaraki District, truly was a place that produced remarkable talent. Back then, she had encountered that child there, one so strong he had driven her to "despair." Now, she had found Lu Li there as well.

She did not know where that child was wandering now, but Lu Li was also a promising prospect.

She looked at the masculine, handsome face beneath her, the corners of her lips unconsciously curving upward. In the future... just how much pleasure will you be able to give me?

As the Setting Sun gradually dipped, the Spirit Arts Academy students finished another fulfilling day. Lu Li, meanwhile, had been fulfilled in the educational sense in the Healing Kidō classroom, but physically, he was utterly drained.

When the classroom door was unlocked with a key, the student responsible for cleaning the classroom each day froze at the sight before him. This place looked exactly like a murder scene!

Blood was still dripping from the red-stained ceiling, while the blood on the floor was even more excessive. A pungent stench of blood filled the air.

Of the two people in the classroom, he recognized one of them. It was Teacher Unohana, whom everyone loved. At that moment, Teacher Unohana was stroking the abs of a male student...

What an amazing body...

Ah, no, what the hell am I thinking?

No, wait, what the hell am I seeing?

In a classroom resembling a murder scene, Captain Unohana, the most popular female Healing Kidō teacher at the True Spirit Arts Academy, was touching the bare upper body of a male student?

Screech—

He shut the door.

The way he had opened the door just now had to be wrong. He must have seen it wrong.

Screech—

When the door opened again, the two people in the classroom had already separated. One looked at him with an odd expression, while the other smiled gently with narrowed eyes.

"Um... Teacher Unohana, I... I didn't see anything."

As he spoke, he stiffly turned around, wanting to flee the "crime scene." Damn it, why did I have cleaning duty today?

But he had barely turned halfway when Unohana called out to him. "This student on cleaning duty, I'm terribly sorry to have added unnecessary work for you. We were merely practicing Healing Kidō just now."

"Practicing Healing Kidō?"

The student on duty suspiciously glanced at the lab mice caged in the classroom. Can lab mice even bleed that much?

Also, why did the junior standing beside Teacher Unohana look so drained? His face was pale, and he could barely stand. Was that also the result of practicing Healing Kidō?

The blood... It couldn't be the junior's, could it? Oh, impossible. Teacher Unohana is such a gentle person. How could she possibly make a student practice on his own body? I must be overthinking it.

Holding a broom and mop, he entered the classroom with trepidation. "Then I'll... start cleaning?"

"Sorry to trouble you, Senior."

Lu Li also spoke somewhat apologetically. He did not think this would lead to any strange misunderstandings, but the bloodstains were indeed difficult to clean. The other student would probably be at it for quite some time.

He had originally wanted to help, but right now he felt far too weak.

Healing Kidō was not omnipotent. Unohana could heal his injuries, but she could not completely replenish the blood he had lost.

Unohana had let him experience it with his own body three times just now. Even a body as sturdy as Lu Li's could not withstand such continuous blood loss. He had to hurry to the place where he could restore his blood—the Cafeteria.

"That's enough for today. Let me think... Hmm... Your next Healing Kidō class is the day after tomorrow. Prepare more during this time."

Unohana walked lightly across the bloodstained floor. Turning back, she smiled gently. "Next time, I'll be stricter."

Lu Li touched his chest, wondering whether Teacher Unohana might accidentally chop him to death one day.

Thinking about it, his path toward graduating early was truly long and arduous.

At the very least, he had to satisfy the teachers of every required course and every Elective Course he had selected. If even one of them refused to approve, there was no way he could speedrun graduation. Besides, he did not know whether the Spirit Arts Academy would arrange some special examination for a genius like him who wanted to skip ahead and graduate early.

Lu Li passed the blank-faced student on duty, shaking his head as he pushed his many thoughts aside for now.

His most urgent priority was to hurry to the Cafeteria and eat a hearty meal to restore his blood. Though he had no wounds left on his body, his Life Source had fallen to only 40%.
