Just as Kisuke Urahara was feeling pleased with his performance, Renji, who had just raised his voice by an octave, suddenly wilted.
"E-even if we really are weak... saying it so bluntly is pretty harsh..."
Renji crouched in the corner, drawing circles on the ground with a resentful air.

Renji snorted disdainfully. "You have class?"
"What did you say, you savage red-haired baboon?"
