The Onmitsukidō's Attitude

It was night.

The Second Division's inner quarters were brightly lit.

In the center of what could be called a luxurious grand hall stood several masked Punishment Force members, all looking with respect towards the small figure at the head of the hall.

It was a young girl with short, blunt-cut hair, leaning against a long bench. Despite her petite frame, everyone in the division building looked at her with deep reverence.

"Captain, the Twelfth Division's analysis results are out."

A masked Punishment Force member below said respectfully, "It matches our predictions. The residual Spirit Particles at the scene are consistent with Supervisory Target #147. According to the Twelfth Division's battlefield analysis, there were a total of sixteen people who fought with Supervisory Target #147. Fifteen of them are dead, and one escaped."

The masked Punishment Force member paused, looking at the Twelfth Division's analysis report in his hand, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. After hesitating, he continued, "Based on the analysis of battlefield traces and residual Spiritual Pressure, the Twelfth Division concluded that the fifteen deceased all possessed the Spiritual Pressure intensity of a lower-ranking officer, while the one who escaped had a strength equivalent to a high-ranking officer."

"So you're classifying someone with at least 'high-ranking officer' strength into a three-digit supervision sequence?" the girl called Captain asked, slowly opening her eyes. Her already extremely cold face became even colder.

"This..."

Under her icy gaze, the masked Punishment Force member responsible for the report instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly explained, "There are two reasons why Target #147's supervision priority is lower: first, because the target is not a Soul Reaper; second, because the target has shown no unstable tendencies under supervision."

"Is that so?"

The girl on the lounge chair slowly sat up, a document appearing in her hand at some point.

"Frequent contact with Soul Reaper Academy students; the patrons at the bar are all villains from the lower-numbered areas; proficient in unique Soul Reaper techniques such as Kido, Hakuda, and Shunpo. Even setting aside their strength, based on their actions alone, their supervision level should be classified within the double digits."

"If you consider their strength, their supervision priority wouldn't be out of place even in the single digits." As she spoke, the girl casually tossed the document in her hand, which landed at the feet of the masked Punishment Force members.

Crack!

The crisp sound of the document hitting the floor made them all shiver.

"Tell me, who set his supervision level?"

"..."

The several Punishment Force members fell silent in unison, their gazes "subtly" glancing towards a side of the building.

In the direction they were looking, Marechiyo Ōmaeda appeared calm. He casually grabbed a handful of snacks from his snack bag, slowly closed his palm, and stuffed them into his mouth with a crunching sound, chewing while looking at them with a composed gaze.

The next second, as if they had agreed beforehand, the Punishment Force members replied in unison, "Captain, we set it after discussion!"

"Captain Soi Fon, it's not entirely their fault."

Ōmaeda immediately chimed in, "I've seen that kid too. Although I only got a distant glance because of their judgment and didn't observe closely, even I didn't notice any signs of hidden Spiritual Pressure at first glance. It's normal for them to misjudge."

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon glanced at Marechiyo Ōmaeda before addressing the Punishment Force members, "You may go. Inform the Supervision Team to raise his supervision priority to 11 and change the supervision method to Spiritual Power tracking, avoiding contact with the target. I shouldn't need to arrange the specific operation methods one by one, should I?"

"Yes!!"

Hearing this, the Punishment Force members breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew from the hall.

"Captain Soi Fon, that kid is really strange."

Seeing them leave, Marechiyo Ōmaeda quickly said, "Ever since the large-scale Spirit Particle fluctuation was discovered outside District 38 a few days ago, I've been personally monitoring that brat. I found that not only is he proficient in Kido, but he's also extremely skilled in healing Kido. Recently, even an officer from the Fourth Division has been going to him to learn healing Kido."

"An officer from the Fourth Division?"

Soi Fon's brow furrowed slightly. "Are you sure?"

"Sure. I saw that Fourth Division kid following him around Rukongai, treating people."

Ōmaeda stuffed another handful of snacks into his mouth, looking smug. "I even specifically intercepted a subordinate who was supposed to be sent to the Fourth Division midway and had someone send them to the Yorozuya. According to the person himself, the treatment effect was better than the Fourth Division's."

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon couldn't help but give Ōmaeda a strange look. A severely injured person sent to the hospital was suddenly intercepted by their superior midway and forcibly sent to a black clinic they had never heard of... Wasn't this guy afraid of being complained about by his subordinates?

Soi Fon didn't dwell on this point. After pondering for a moment, she asked, "Did he learn his Kido from Shiba Kūkaku?"

"That has been confirmed. Shiba Kūkaku herself admitted it."

Upon hearing the name 'Shiba Kūkaku', a cold glint flashed in Soi Fon's eyes. She snorted, "As long as he doesn't show any signs of instability, continue supervising him like this."

"But tomorrow, you'll mention this matter to the Fourth Division Lieutenant Captain. Whether they stop him or not is their business."

"Oh, I understand." Marechiyo Ōmaeda rubbed his chin. "Then I'll treat all the Lieutenant Captains to a meal at the noble district's restaurant tomorrow."

"As you wish."

Soi Fon stood up and walked towards the exit. After a few steps, she stopped. "Right, as punishment for your negligence, your vacation this year is canceled." With that, her figure flashed and she disappeared from her spot.

"Huh? Wait!!"

Ōmaeda was stunned for a moment, then he rushed out of the building and shouted into the empty courtyard:

"Captain Soi Fon... can you change the punishment to a fine?"

The next morning.

In the treatment room of the Yorozuya on the second floor, Duan Mu extended his right hand, the fluctuations of Spiritual Pressure on his palm constantly changing. He slowly said, "When casting healing Kido, it's not about blindly releasing Spiritual Pressure. During the release, you need to constantly change the nature of the Spiritual Power within the healing Kido."

"With the same Spiritual Pressure intensity, the reason my treatment effect is better than yours is precisely because of this, and this is your biggest problem."

As Duan Mu spoke, he wrote down the knowledge in his mind on the blackboard behind him. The only student below, Yamadatarō, was diligently taking notes.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since he arrived here.

He hadn't missed a single day in these three days, making an appointment to study here almost every day.

Hanatarou looked at Duan Mu on the stage with immense respect. The longer he studied with the man, the more he felt the man's power in healing Kido. The man's talent in healing Kido was no weaker than his elder brother's.

That is to say, the former Fourth Division Lieutenant Captain, now the Director of the Soul Reaper Pharmacy, Yamada Kiyonosuke.
