Come Out for a Stroll, Chidori

Lin Feng had originally thought...

Since Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had agreed to use Akita Prefecture as the location for the students' graduation assessment,

then...

there shouldn't have been too many Hollows here.

And they shouldn't have been too strong, either.

After all,

in the original story,

when Kurosaki Ichigo had only just gained the powers of a Soul Reaper, he had basically killed Hollows with one jumping slash per Hollow.

Yet the three Hollows just now

had clearly not been the kind that could be casually cut down.

Otherwise,

although Asai Reiko still had quite a gap between herself and a true Soul Reaper Vice Captain after releasing her Zanpakuto,

she wouldn't have had such a difficult time killing three Hollows.

And considering that Kurotsuchi Nemu had been observing them from the shadows all along,

Lin Feng suddenly began to wonder.

Could this have been something that guy Kurotsuchi Mayuri had arranged?

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was a technology-obsessed madman

who loved collecting living experimental materials behind the scenes.

Could it be

that Kurotsuchi Mayuri had taken an interest in him?

At that thought,

Lin Feng smiled disdainfully.

Meanwhile,

five Hollows whose spiritual pressure was even stronger than that of the previous three had already surrounded Lin Feng and the other two.

Asai Reiko and Takakura Kensho swallowed together.

Takakura Kensho was scared into tears on the spot.

What the hell.

Was this graduation exam really supposed to be this thrilling?

If I'd known, I might as well have dropped out!

"Lin Feng, you take this one too," Asai Reiko said with a bitter smile.

"Alright." Lin Feng nodded.

Facing the five Hollows,

Lin Feng drew the Zanpakuto in his hand backward.

"Come out for a stroll, Chidori."

It was an extremely half-hearted Zanpakuto release command.

But its power was quite decent.
