I Can See the Future! (Please Read!)

Upon arriving, Kaien Shiba immediately sought out his 13th Division subordinates to grasp the situation.

After learning the details, Kaien Shiba could not help but cast a trembling gaze toward Gilgamesh.

In truth, Kaien Shiba had noticed Gilgamesh the moment he arrived.

There was no helping it; Gilgamesh was simply too dazzling, the kind of person who would be spotted at first glance even in a crowd.

Yet, he never imagined that Gilgamesh would possess captain-level spiritual pressure. While his subordinates might have been uncertain, how could he be?

Without hesitation, Kaien Shiba wore a hearty smile and walked straight toward Gilgamesh.

He knew that people from other divisions would arrive soon, perhaps even the captains themselves.

Therefore, he wanted to leave a good impression on Gilgamesh before they arrived, ideally securing a commitment for him to join his division upon graduation.

No matter the place, talent was always the most important asset.

Watching Kaien Shiba walk toward him, Gilgamesh instantly saw through his intentions.

In fact, Gilgamesh had always been interested in the Shiba Clan, which had once been one of the Five Great Noble Houses before falling from grace and being struck from the list.

However, the foundation of the Shiba Clan as one of the Five Great Noble Houses still remained.

That foundation was the foundation of bloodline.

The descendants of the Five Great Noble Houses were often born with extraordinary spiritual pressure.

The Shiba Clan was no exception to this.

The head of the main house, Kaien Shiba, the head of the branch house, Isshin Shiba, and the protagonist of the Bleach world, Ichigo Kurosaki—all of them possessed extraordinary spiritual pressure and captain-level strength.

Gilgamesh had been contemplating how to approach the Shiba Clan.

He had not expected Kaien Shiba to deliver himself to his doorstep.

His wine-red eyes flashed slightly as Gilgamesh thought to himself: You want to poach me, yet you do not know that I also want to poach members of your clan.

Gilgamesh had no immediate designs on Kaien Shiba.

Although he was indeed exceptionally gifted and might already possess captain-level strength at this stage, Kaien Shiba was a man who valued loyalty and affection, placing his companions above all else.

To poach such a person from the 13th Division was nearly impossible, unless some major tragedy occurred, such as the total annihilation of the 13th Division.

However, his younger brother, his younger sister, and the head of the branch house, Isshin Shiba, were worth a try.

Although Isshin Shiba was currently the captain of the 10th Division, in the original plot, he eventually abandoned his captaincy and fled to the Human World, changing his name to Isshin Kurosaki.

Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Kaien Shiba arrived directly in front of Gilgamesh.

Just as he was about to offer a greeting, he locked eyes with Gilgamesh's wine-red pupils.

To be honest, this was the first time Kaien Shiba had ever seen such beautiful, jewel-like wine-red eyes.

Yet, Kaien Shiba did not dwell on their beauty; instead, he felt a sense of pity emanating from those wine-red depths.

Is he pitying me?

Kaien Shiba froze.

He did not know why Gilgamesh would pity him.

He also did not know why he cared so much about Gilgamesh's pity.

"Lean in."

Gilgamesh's voice suddenly rang out.

If anyone else he had just met had said this to him, Kaien Shiba certainly would not have listened.

But now, as if under a spell, he leaned forward to listen.

Immediately, he heard Gilgamesh whisper a single sentence in his ear: "I can see the future."

These six short words caused Kaien Shiba's pupils to constrict violently, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

Before Kaien Shiba could speak, a violent commotion erupted at the scene.

"My god, that's a captain's haori!"

"It's Captain Shiba of the 10th Division!"

"Did he come for Gilgamesh as well?"

Listening to the commotion, Kaien Shiba tried his best to calm his mind, though he could no longer muster his initial hearty smile. He said earnestly, "I hope you will join the 13th Division after you graduate."

"I promise you, as long as you join the 13th Division, you can become a 3rd Seat immediately."

Kaien Shiba's words pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a new climax.

Before Gilgamesh could respond, the voice of Isshin Shiba rang out: "It seems he is the owner of that spiritual pressure from just a moment ago."

As he spoke, Isshin Shiba used Shunpo to appear directly in front of Gilgamesh, saying with a flippant expression, "How about it? Do you want to come to my 10th Division?"

"Look, I am a captain, and I have come to invite you personally—that shows my absolute sincerity."

After a pause, the expression on Isshin Shiba's face turned serious as he continued, "I can also promise you that as long as you are willing to join the 10th Division, I will personally recommend you to the Head Captain so that you can become the lieutenant on the very day you enlist."

The appointment of a lieutenant requires the approval of the Head Captain.

The appointment of a captain is even more cumbersome; it requires not only the approval of the Head Captain but also that of Central 46.

However, usually, as long as the Head Captain agrees, Central 46 will follow suit.

Isshin Shiba's words were like a bomb, instantly causing the entire scene to erupt in a frenzy.

A lieutenant—that was the goal they viewed as their life's work, yet Gilgamesh could achieve it before even entering the academy; comparing oneself to others truly was infuriating.

After finishing his sentence, Isshin Shiba subconsciously glanced at his nephew standing to the side.

He knew Kaien Shiba's personality very well and knew that he certainly wouldn't give up.

But this glance left Isshin Shiba stunned.

Because Kaien Shiba seemed not to have heard his words at all; his expression was heavy, his brows tightly locked, as if he were pondering something deep.

What was going on?

Just as Isshin Shiba was about to ask, he heard an aged yet vigorous voice ring out: "The examination is still in progress! All unrelated personnel are to withdraw immediately; do not interfere with the exam!"

The owner of this voice did not appear, but the mere sound of it was enough to make the examinees present feel a sense of palpitations.

Isshin Shiba and Kaien Shiba naturally knew who the owner of the voice was, and their expressions tightened involuntarily as they retreated from the examination grounds without hesitation.

Yoruichi Shihouin, nestled in Gilgamesh's arms, also had a sharp look in her eyes; she had not expected Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto to be here as well.

If she could ignore Kaien Shiba and Isshin Shiba, she certainly could not do the same for Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Yoruichi Shihouin had no intention of telling Gilgamesh about her true identity yet.

After all, her true identity involved too many complications, and one wrong move could drag Gilgamesh into the fray.

The Kingdom of Uruk was only just getting started; if Gilgamesh were to be implicated, it would inevitably affect the development of the Kingdom of Uruk, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Without hesitation, Yoruichi Shihouin immediately jumped onto Gilgamesh's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I have something to attend to, I'll be gone for a moment."

With that, not waiting for Gilgamesh to react, she jumped to the ground, darted into the crowd, and vanished.

Gilgamesh's expression remained as usual, showing not the slightest change.

Soon, under the maintenance of the examiners, order was restored to the examination grounds.

The second round, the Kido aptitude test, officially began.
