"For a legendary figure, Captain Kurokawa, you're surprisingly easygoing."

Iwamoto Kurando—now Aizen Sōsuke—wore a polite smile as he flattered Cang Nan in his signature magnetic voice. "I'll be in your care for the lessons ahead as well."

Aizen bowed to Cang Nan, using the opportunity to discreetly study his appearance. The legendary Seireitei genius academy student did not leave a particularly deep impression on him.
