Chapter 398: Immortal Divinity × A Tough Problem
The Kuchiki Family,
Rukia had just finished her daily lessons and was resting in her room.
In her free time, she couldn't help thinking about her other friends.
"I heard Renji went to the Fifth Division as a Seated Officer."

Rukia then told the maid to leave.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she was still happy to go.
She knew that "the usual place" meant the secret base where they had trained before: the Underground Space beneath the Sōkyoku.
Fortunately, Rukia
