A slashing attack? (Please subscribe)
This is accompanied by Rukia's promise to Tier Harribel and Lilynette.
As the next morning dawned, the three of them stood in the training ground of the Second Division.
What happened?
"I've heard someone wants to Seated Officer Lilynette and Tier Harribel."
"Huh? Really? Who is it? Are you crazy?"
"Looks like a newcomer..."
"Oh, a newbie! No wonder~"
As the three arrived at the training ground, members of the Stealth Force dressed in black occasionally stopped to watch.
With more and more people and the various squad members talking at once, the news that Rukia had asked Lilynette and Halibel to train her became increasingly outrageous, causing rumors throughout the Second Division that a particularly arrogant squad member was planning to punch Lilynette and kick Halibel.
Go Lilynette!
Go Tier Harribel!
"Take down that blind fool!"
"Tell her about the strength of our Second Division!"
"But that challenger seems really cute, would he really say something like that?"
Some radical team members stood outside the training ground surrounded by iron fences, shouting loudly to cheer on Lilynette and Tier Harribel!
Some of the more rational members, after seeing Rukia Kuchiki's petite figure, began to doubt whether the rumors they had heard were true.
Thank you all for your support! I promise I won't let you down!
Upon hearing the support from her subordinates, Lilynette excitedly raised her arm, accepting everyone's praise.
"Sigh... how did things turn out like this?"
Instead of wearing Shihakusho, Tier Harribel was dressed in a trendy street-style hoodie and shorts, her long hair tied in a ponytail. With her arms crossed, she listened to the cheers around her, her brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. She gently covered her cheeks, not expecting things to escalate to this point, nor that rumors would spread that some clueless newcomer intended to challenge Tier Harribel and Lilynette.
" Rukia, how about we call it a day? Those idiots seem to have misunderstood. If you don't explain properly, your reputation might be ruined."
Tier Harribel waved to Rukia Kuchiki, who was constantly adjusting her mental state on the training field, and tried to persuade Rukia Kuchiki to give up today's training. Although Tier Harribel didn't care about what others thought, Tier Harribel Rukia Kuchiki or not, so she thought it would be better to suspend training just to be on the safe side.
"It's okay! I don't care what others think of me, and I don't care about my reputation. No matter what happens, I am who I am... Besides, we can't let this precious training time go to waste."
When asked by Tier Harribel, Rukia Kuchiki gently shook her head. She never cared how others viewed her, because no matter how they saw her, she would always be herself. This was a belief Rukia Kuchiki had always held and had never changed.
"This child is quite stubborn!"
"But since you don't care, then I don't care either."
As Tier Harribel spoke, he walked step by step toward Rukia Kuchiki.
"Huh? Little Tier! Are you planning to do it yourself? I thought you'd let me have such an interesting thing?"
Lilynette watched as Tier Harribel walked towards Rukia Kuchiki, his expression one of obvious disappointment, and said with some disappointment.
"Idiot! This isn't a game, and besides, you don't even know what 'stopping' means. If you make a big deal out of this, Sōgo will lock you in a dark room. If that's not a big deal, then you can just..."
Tier Harribel looked at the eager Lilynette and said helplessly.
"Lock them in a dark room?"
"I don't want to do that!"
"The little dark room was completely empty. He ate alone, slept alone, and felt very lonely."
Upon hearing that Sōgo her in a dark room, Lilynette shuddered and said fearfully.
"Then I'll take over this training session."
Tier Harribel knew that Lilynette was scared, so he turned to the side and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Yes, yes! Please make sure it's you Little Tier does it."
Lilynette nodded repeatedly and retreated towards the iron net behind her.
"Then, Little Rukia, come on~"
After obtaining Lilynette's consent, Tier Harribel extended a finger from his long sleeve and gently beckoned to Rukia Kuchiki, signaling Rukia to attack him.
"Phew! I'm here!"
Rukia a deep breath and chose to draw her sword and fight.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Rukia didn't immediately Shikai her Zanpakuto. Because she wasn't sure of Tier Harribel's strength, Rukia planned to play it safe and use her Zanjutsu to gauge Tier Harribel's abilities first.
Rukia her Zanpakuto in an instant!
"Good power, but unfortunately, too slow."
Tier Harribel easily dodged Rukia's attack by sidestepping it.
"As expected of the Second Division Seated Officer, in terms of speed alone, he far surpasses me!"
Rukia broke out in a cold sweat after realizing that all her attacks had been dodged by Tier Harribel. Although she had already guessed that Tier Harribel was stronger than her, she was still shocked that her attacks had been dodged so easily. To be honest, she was the Third Seat of the Thirteenth Division, while Halibel was the Fifth Seat of the Second Division. Theoretically, she should be stronger, and even if he was stronger, it shouldn't be by much. But now it seemed that she had been too naive.
"The ruler, a mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring high, bearing the name of humanity, truth and temperance, standing only as claws on the walls of a sinless dream..."
After confirming that her opponent's speed far surpassed her own, Rukia knew that ordinary attacks would be ineffective. To hit Tier Harribel, she would need a wide-range attack, such as...
" Hadō #33! Sōkatsui!"
As Rukia chanted, the azure flames instantly coalesced in the sky and roared as they attacked Tier Harribel.
Too slow!
Without a second thought, Tier Harribel leaped high into the air in the face of Rukia's attack.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
Rukia watched Tier Harribel leap into the air and a slight smile appeared on her lips. On the very day Rukia arrived at the Second Division, she noticed the difference between the Second Division and the other divisions. The Second Division seemed to be covered by a barrier, a barrier that prevented Soul Reaper from walking in the sky by condensing Reishi under their feet. This barrier was effective against everyone, which meant that when Tier Harribel chose to jump into the sky, there was nowhere left to escape.
"Huh? Oh no..."
Tier Harribel frowned slightly as she looked at Rukia Kuchiki, who had raised her hands high and pointed them at her. She knew she had been tricked.
"This is something that absolutely cannot be done in other divisions; it can only be done in the Second Division. Although such a victory is somewhat shameful, the victor is indeed me."
Rukia Kuchiki spoke, azure flames once again coalesced in front of her arm.
" Hadō #33! Sōkatsui!"
Rukia Kuchiki, a genius in Kidō, unleashed Sōkatsui once again! And this time, she completely abandoned the incantation for Sōkatsui!
Although the power of this Sōkatsui is much weaker than the fully chanted version, it is still not something an ordinary Soul Reaper can withstand head-on.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Sōkatsui struck Tier Harribel was falling from the sky.
" Seated Officer the Tier Harribel!"
"No!"
"Really? That girl is that amazing?"
The numerous members of the Second Division surrounding the training ground stared in disbelief as they watched Tier Harribel being struck by the Sōkatsui.
"Crunch~ Crunch~ Crunch~"
Lilynette remained calmly chewing her gum, seemingly oblivious to the scene unfolding around her.
"That's all? What are you all panicking about? Are you all worried that Little Tier will be defeated by an attack of this level? Are you kidding me... Even if you underestimate Little Tier... there should be a limit, okay?"
Lilynette kept chewing her gum, listening to the gasps of surprise around her, and felt a wave of disdain.
"You won?!"
Rukia Kuchiki stared at the smoke and dust in the sky, a hint of confusion in her eyes. If she had truly attacked Tier Harribel, shouldn't Tier Harribel have fallen straight down from the sky? What was going on?
"Well Rukia. To be honest, I was surprised."
Just as Rukia Kuchiki was looking at the smoke and dust in the sky with a puzzled expression, Tier Harribel's voice suddenly rang out behind Rukia.
"What?"
Rukia changed upon hearing Tier Harribel's calm and composed voice behind her. She immediately Zanpakuto her Zanpakuto and stabbed it behind her from under her arm.
"Ding~"
With a metallic clang, Rukia's Zanpakuto was easily caught between two fingers by Tier Harribel.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Rukia ~"
Tier Harribel pressed close behind Rukia and whispered.
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"
The instant Rukia grabbed the blade of Tier Harribel's Zanpakuto and pressed it tightly against her back, Rukia immediately Shikai —Zanpakuto the optimal solution Rukia could come up with.
"Um?"
As the incredibly beautiful Zanpakuto appeared before them, Tier Harribel sensed something was amiss. Rukia's Zanpakuto was somewhat of a disadvantage against her agile Dabai in terms of elemental properties.
"Interesting."
Tier Harribel released his arm, which was now covered in frost and gripping Rukia's blade tightly, and Rukia Rukia, sending her flying.
"Call..."
Rukia flew through the air in an arc before landing heavily on the ground. She stood up unsteadily and then staggered toward Tier Harribel.
"Oh no, I forgot to hold back."
Tier Harribel looked at Rukia, who was struggling to stand after being kicked by her, and knew that she felt threatened because of the other party's ice-type Zanpakuto. She subconsciously had the idea of retaliating and then forgot that this was training.
"It hurts so much..."
"Senior Tier Harribel is incredibly strong..."
Rukia winced as she felt the pain in her buttocks, but she knew it wasn't time to rest yet. Although she knew her buttocks were definitely swollen, she still had to finish today's training session.
" Tsugi no Mai: Hakuren!"
Rukia lightly touched the ground with the tip of her sword, and instantly, endless cold air surged from the ground. The next moment, as Rukia assumed a fighting stance, an avalanche-like attack hurtled towards Tier Harribel.
Wow!
The Second Division members surrounding the training ground were all amazed as they watched Rukia Shikai her Zanpakuto and display such dazzling power. At this moment, they were beginning to Rukia's strength.
"That move?"
"Then I..."
Tier Harribel thought for a moment and stretched out one of her fingers, and golden light danced at her fingertip.
"Uh... no, no, I almost used the wrong one."
Tier Harribel was about to use Cero on instinct, immediately stopped herself. Using Cero in this situation could be fatal. Although her Cero was completely different in color from other Cero —it was golden—and with the addition of her Spiritual Pressure mimicry device, it wasn't easy for anyone to spot it, it would still be bad if someone with ulterior motives discovered it. So Tier Harribel abandoned her most proficient Cero and instead, with a light flick, pulled out the knife strapped to her back!
With a flick of his finger, Tier Harribel gently touched the ring on the hilt of the sword behind him, the sword that held Tier Harribel's immense power within its sheath. The sword flew out of the sheath, spinning several times in the air before landing firmly in Tier Harribel's hand.
Tier Harribel was incredibly dashing for a moment!
An avalanche?
"Still, too inexperienced!"
Facing the terrifying snowflakes, Tier Harribel raised his blade high and swung it down. A golden slash flew from Tier Harribel's hand, carving a deep chasm in the ground and splitting the massive avalanche in two!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, a violent gust of air and a shockwave instantly swept across the entire training ground, blowing countless members of the Second Division directly into the sky!
"Ah..."
Isn't that an exaggeration?
Rukia's mouth gaped open as she stared at the enormous chasm less than a centimeter from her feet. Just a hair's breadth away, just a hair's breadth away from sending her to Hell ( Reishi of level three and above cannot return to the world). It was just training, wasn't it? What grudge could she have held against her?
"I'm sorry, Rukia. It was supposed to be training, but I got a little too serious because your Shikai is ice-type. I guess even I'm still too immature."
Tier Harribel looked at the training ground she had divided in two and felt a little ashamed. She Rukia and apologized.
"Is this a slash that can be delivered with just a little bit of serious effort?"
Rukia stared at the massive slash that spanned hundreds of meters, her eyelids twitching slightly. She felt that no matter how hard she tried, she could never unleash such a powerful strike.
"Then let's continue!"
Tier Harribel stretched and beckoned to Rukia with his finger.
"Shall we continue?"
Rukia felt that if she continued training, she might die. The Second Division... was it really this dangerous?
Question: Why does the chapter jump directly to chapter 130 after chapter 128?
The answer is that Chapter 129, the hot spring episode, was censored by the game developer. I have revised it and submitted an application to unlock it. If we are destined to meet, everyone will see it.
I finally managed to put in some serious work today, planning to update two chapters, but one chapter got censored... and now my 9,000 words have become 4,000...
