"So handsome..."
"Her hair is silver..."
"That height must be over 1.9 meters, right?"
"Is he a basketball player?"
The moment Sōgo appeared, the entire class erupted in excitement.
Countless single girls, seeing the stylishly dressed, incredibly handsome Sōgo Shihoin with only half his face showing, were getting restless. Spring had arrived... everything was coming back to life, and it was that time of year again...
"You fired the principal?"
Ichigo Kurosaki's eyelids twitched slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. Even Rukia back then wouldn't have dared to be so disrespectful to the principal.
"Isn't that incredibly disrespectful? The principal... he's still our elder, no matter what!"
Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but feel indignant for the man who had worked diligently since middle school, always wearing that easily recognizable wig when giving speeches to the new students at every opening ceremony!
Can you see my eyes?
Sōgo chuckled softly, pointing to the eye patch covering his eyes on his cheek and asking.
"Oh, this..."
Ichigo Kurosaki stared intently at Sōgo's face, then finally lowered his head in resignation.
"Look, I don't even have eyes, how could I possibly be oblivious to others?"
Sōgo glanced at the defeated Ichigo Kurosaki and smiled slightly. It wasn't his fault for being arrogant; these people didn't even deserve his attention, so how could he possibly be arrogant?
"You're right..."
Ichigo Kurosaki was completely convinced; Sōgo Shihoin's words were indeed reasonable and well-founded, leaving him with no way to refute them.
"Um... Chairman, may I ask how I should address you from now on?"
Ms. Ochi Miyu, the homeroom teacher of Ichigo Kurosaki and the others, looked at the man beside her who had fired the principal on his first day at school and asked him with some trepidation.
"It's alright, Ms. Ochi Miyu. From today onwards, I'll call you 'teacher,' and you can call me 'principal.' Let's address each other respectfully."
Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly upon hearing Ochi Miyu's words. He gently patted Ochi Miyu's shoulder, showing no airs whatsoever, and not at all arrogant just because he was the chairman of the academy's board of directors and part-time principal...
"Alright, alright... let's... each talk our own thing..."
After hearing Sōgo Shihoin's words, Ochi Miyu gave an awkward laugh. She certainly didn't dare to be foolish enough to just listen to Sōgo Shihoin and start arguing back and forth. She didn't want to end up like that Sōgo Shihoin got expelled by Sōgo Shihoin just because he stepped into the school gate with his right foot first that morning...
"It's getting late, Ms. Ochi Miyu, please start today's lesson!"
As the principal, Sōgo Shihoin casually gave Ochi Miyu a few words of advice, then, without waiting for Ochi Miyu to speak, walked over to the second-to-last seat by the window, cheerfully shooed away the person who had been occupying it, and sat down...
"Alright, let's begin today's lesson..."
"Please open your textbooks..."
Looking at Ochi Miyu, who acted like a big shot and had no student-like demeanor whatsoever, Sōgo Shihoin sighed helplessly. She had no choice but to ignore Sōgo and proceed with today's lessons as usual.
"Hmph~"
Sōgo Shihoin sneered at Ochi Miyu's words. The moment he heard the words "open the textbook," he took out a pillow he had prepared beforehand from his backpack. Sōgo Shihoin was fully prepared to have a pleasant day at school.
"This is... much better than I expected..."
Ichigo Kurosaki glanced at Sōgo Shihoin, who had already prepared to sleep as soon as he arrived at school, and pursed his lips... Although he loathed the privileged class, it wasn't so bad; at least they hadn't turned the school into a living hell...
Overall, apart from the Sōgo Shihoin, the classroom was no different from usual, and everyone was still diligently learning various subjects.
While Sōgo Shihoin, Ichigo Kurosaki, and the others were happily learning at school... the others weren't idle either.
Inside the Gotei Second Division.
"That Sōgo Shihoin! He didn't come home all night?!"
Shaoling Fon sat at the head of the group, her fingers tapping incessantly on the table in front of her. She hadn't expected that Sōgo Shihoin would start playing hide-and-seek with her now...
" Soi Fon... can you hear my voice?"
Just as Shaoling Fon was sitting angrily and impatiently in the captain's room, waiting for Sōgo Shihoin to return, Yoruichi Shihōin's voice suddenly rang in her mind.
" Lady Yoruichi?!"
Where are you?
Upon hearing Shaoling Fon Yoruichi Shihōin's voice, Aya immediately stood up from her seat and asked excitedly.
"I'm currently in the World of the Living, trying to contact you through the Shihoin Family's secret treasure... Anyway... you'd better come to the World of the Living first!"
"I need your help with something..."
Yoruichi Shihōin's voice kept echoing in Shaoling Fon's mind.
"I understand, I will now proceed to the World of the Living..."
After hearing Yoruichi Shihōin's words, Shaoling Fon abandoned her duties as captain of the Second Division without saying a word and headed straight for the captain's office.
"I need to go out for a bit. If that Sōgo comes back, have him wait for me in the captain's room. You can keep the key for now."
Shaoling Fon stepped out of the captain's room, took a breath of fresh air, and casually tossed the key to the captain's room to the obese man who stood like a doorman at the door.
"Don't worry, Captain Soi Fon!"
"I'll leave this to me Marechiyo Ōmaeda!"
This portly, bloated man adorned with heavy, golden hand gestures is none other than Ōmaedaijin... the Ōmaeda Family, Marechiyo Ōmaeda!
Many of the renovations to the Second Division's barracks in recent years were funded by this Ōmaedaijin... Ōmaeda. Ōmaeda dedication to treating the Second Division like his own home deeply moved Sōgo Shihoin, who bestowed upon Marechiyo Ōmaeda a special position—the gatekeeper of the Second Division's captain's quarters! This officially made Ōmaeda a Ōmaedaijin, and not only that... Ōmaedaijin was also given a position and salary equivalent to the Second Division's Lieutenant-level. In the entire division, only Shaoling Fon and Sōgo Shihoin could directly command him... although this was only in name; almost no one in the other divisions took Ōmaeda seriously...
However, what the Ōmaeda Clan needs is precisely this reputation that allows them to expand their business and rake in huge profits...
"Um."
After hearing Ōmaedaijin's assurance, Shaoling Fon nodded slightly, and the next second, she vanished from her spot. Shaoling Fon's Shunpo speed far exceeded Ōmaeda's visual limits, leaving him no time to react Ōmaeda she disappeared without a trace...
" Lady Shaoling Fon truly lives up to her title as the vice-captain of the Second Division; her strength is truly beyond the reach of others..."
The Ōmaedaijin watched as the vice-captain, who had appeared and disappeared without a trace, vanished before his eyes in the blink of an eye, leaving only the empty corridor and the awe-inspiring presence of the vice-captain.
A fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He was in awe of Shaoling Fon's strength! He straightened his body, intending to do his best to guard the Second Division's barracks.
Unaware that her casual Ōmaeda had directly intimidated Shaoling Fon, she went straight to the Senkaimon belonging to the Shihoin Family and, through the Shihoin Family's private Senkaimon, traveled to the World of the Living...
Eighth Division Barracks...
"Captain! Wake up!"
Shunsui Kyōraku lay on the roof of the barracks, enjoying the spring breeze and sunshine. After the Aizen incident, he knew... his time was running out, so he would savor every single day he could...
"Captain! Wake up!"
Unfortunately, sometimes, everyday life is like a fleeting moment, gone in the blink of an eye...
"What's wrong, Little Nanao?"
Shunsui Kyōraku reluctantly removed the straw hat from his cheek, looked at Nanao Ise was squatting on his head and calling his name repeatedly, and asked.
" Captain Shaoling Fon has gone to the World of the Living... She's using the Shihoin Family's Senkaimon, and she seems to be in a hurry..."
Before she left, she instructed someone to give you this letter.
Nanao Ise took a letter from her bosom and handed it to Shunsui Kyōraku.
"Um?"
"Well..."
Shunsui Kyōraku took the letter from Nanao Ise, read it over and over, and then sighed helplessly.
Looks like I'm in for a busy day!
Shunsui Kyōraku stood up, stretched lazily, and knew his daily routine was over...
" Captain Kyōraku, where are we going next?"
Nanao Ise looked at Shunsui Kyōraku, who was reluctantly standing up, and asked.
"Well..."
"Let's go to the Twelfth Division!"
"But we're not going together; I'm going alone."
" Little Nanao, you need to stay and look after the house."
Shunsui Kyōraku reached out and gently patted Nanao Ise's head, offering words of comfort.
"You've left me all alone again?!"
After hearing Shunsui Kyōraku's words, Nanao Ise's eyes showed some dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha..."
"These are all minor matters. Minor matters don't need our Little Nanao to handle. I can take care of these things myself."
After hearing Nanao Ise's words, Shunsui Kyōraku burst into laughter. He gently ruffled Nanao Ise's hair, then jumped off the roof of the high building and headed straight for the Twelfth Division...
"Well..."
Nanao Ise sighed helplessly as she watched Shunsui Kyōraku disappear without a trace.
On the other side, in the World of the Living...
As a portal suddenly appeared Senkaimon, standing horizontally in the sky, a small figure instantly stepped out of the portal and arrived in the World of the Living!
Look here!
The moment that figure arrived in Karakura Town, a woman wearing an orange-red top, with her long hair tied in a ponytail and exuding a queen-like aura, stood on the rooftop of a tall building, waving and greeting the small figure in the air.
" Lady Yoruichi."
The petite figure landed in mid-air the moment it saw the mature woman, bowing respectfully in greeting.
" Soi Fon, we don't need to be like this with each other~"
Yoruichi pulled the petite figure into her arms and smiled slightly.
"Yes, yes, Lady Yoruichi."
The petite figure that emerged from the Senkaimon was none other than Shaoling Fon, who had rushed from Soul Society after hearing Yoruichi Shihōin's summons. At this moment, feeling the surging of Yoruichi's chest, her face flushed slightly.
" Lady Yoruichi, what brings you here?"
Shaoling Fon first distanced herself from Yoruichi Shihōin Shihouin, then asked Yoruichi Shihōin why Yoruichi had come to see her.
"In short, I've discovered some strange phenomena and need you to inform the Soul Society."
Yoruichi Shihōin's gaze sharpened. The Sōsuke Aizen incident was like a clarion call; with Aizen's actions, countless demons and monsters that had previously dared not show their faces had emerged. Strange phenomena that might not be seen even once in a century were now frequently appearing in this city called Karakura Town...
"A strange phenomenon?"
After hearing Shaoling Fon 'Yoruichi Shihōin words, Aya's eyes narrowed.
Anyway, come with me first~
Yoruichi Shaoling Fon smiled slightly and gently patted Shaoling Fon shoulder, indicating that Shaoling Fon didn't need to be so nervous.
"Good!"
After hearing Shaoling Fon 'Yoruichi words, Aya nodded slightly.
The next second, two more elusive shadows appeared in the sky above the city.
First, here...
What do you think of the current tragic situation?
Yoruichi led Shaoling Fon to a Little Hideki. In this quiet grove, besides countless animals hiding in the dense foliage, there were two powerful figures that ordinary people could not detect.
At this moment, the two figures were investigating a woman's dress that shouldn't have been in the woods.
"This is Reishi particle powder..."
"Something directly absorbed this human's soul?!"
Shaoling Fon squatted down and carefully examined the women's dress. When she gently touched it with her finger, some white powder remained on the dress. Her expression changed instantly, and she said in disbelief.
"Just as I thought..."
Shaoling Fon nodded slightly after Yoruichi Shaoling Fon's words, which confirmed her thoughts.
"This doesn't seem like something someone who would do would do."
"Under normal circumstances, a ghost wouldn't use this method to attack a living person..."
Shaoling Fon analyzed the situation gently and took out a bottle of purple reagent from the backpack behind her.
"In any case, please ask the Twelfth Division's Research and Development Institute to help investigate!"
Using two fingers of her gloved right hand, Shaoling Fon picked up a small pinch of white powder from the sample and gently placed it into the reagent tube, then gently shook it to mix.
That's good.
After Shaoling Fon had done all this, she nodded gently to Yoruichi Shihōin.
"OK."
Yoruichi Shihōin found the technology before her quite novel; such advanced technology didn't exist when she left Soul Society.
Gotei Twelfth Division, Research and Development Institute.
"Awoo~"
Shunsui Kyōraku stood in the dimly lit computer room filled with various instruments, yawning incessantly.
"Oh, really, some data has been sent..."
"Let me see..."
In front of Shunsui Kyōraku stood a strange-looking man whose head was covered in screws, his hands constantly manipulating the computer in front of him...
"As expected?"
Shunsui Kyōraku nodded slightly as he watched the busy, strange man. It seemed that something had indeed happened in the World of the Living, which was why Shaoling Fon was rushing over so hurriedly.
"This is a document Reishi data..."
"Damn it... why is there absolutely no matching information in my database...?"
"I have no idea how these Reishi were created?"
"How is this possible?"
The mad scientist frantically tapped on the computer in front of him, staring wide-eyed at the countless data displayed on the screen, because none of the information matched the Reishi state he was looking for.
"Um..."
Shunsui Kyōraku stood behind the mad scientist, gently stroking his beard. He remained completely calm, seemingly unaffected by the mad scientist's presence, as if the existence of technologies beyond the control of the Research and Development Institute was nothing out of the ordinary.
" Captain Kyōraku... should we send the comparison results to Captain Shaoling Fon?"
The mad scientist looked at Shunsui Kyōraku with a grim expression, unsure whether to answer Shaoling Fon truthfully.
"Certainly."
Shunsui Kyōraku nodded slightly. Of course, he had to send the comparison results over, and he had to send them over truthfully. This was also the reason why he was standing here watching the Twelfth Division make the comparison.
"All right..."
The member of the Twelfth Division nodded somewhat reluctantly and sent the comparison results to Shaoling Fon was far away in the World of the Living.
"Ding-dong..."
While waiting patiently for the results with Yoruichi Shihōin the World of the Living, Shaoling Fon heard a sound coming from her backpack and immediately knew that the results were in.
"The results are in. After repeated comparisons by the Twelfth Division, the conclusion is that the cause of this human's Reishi is... unknown!"
Shaoling Fon took out a small palm-sized tablet from her backpack, looked at the comparison results displayed on it, and frowned slightly.
"As expected?"
After hearing what Shaoling Fon said, Yoruichi Shihōin nodded, looking thoughtful, as if she already had the answer in her heart.
" Lady Yoruichi, do you have an answer in your heart?"
Seeing Yoruichi Shihōin's thoughtful expression, Shaoling Fon asked.
"More or less!"
"Anyway... come with me somewhere."
Yoruichi Shihōin raised her head, squinted slightly as she looked into the distance, and seemed to have noticed something.
"Yes, Lady Yoruichi..."
The next second, the two figures that had been standing beside the clothes vanished like ghosts, as if they had never been there at all...
As the sun sets... the hour of twilight...
A melodious and ethereal song echoed through the deserted station... A train conductor, his eyes vacant, searched for something. He was deeply attracted by the song and wanted to see who could sing such a beautiful voice.
Hehehe...
Before long, accompanied by laughter, a stunningly beautiful woman with a slender figure appeared before the train conductor.
At this moment, the beautiful woman was sitting lazily on a chair at the station, her long, slender legs crossed, her beautiful eyes constantly flashing seductive light at the train conductor.
"Ah..."
The train conductor's eyes grew increasingly vacant as he staggered toward the beauty, his body trembling intermittently.
Before long, the train conductor and the beautiful woman embraced and became entangled in each other's arms. At that moment, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the once beautiful woman. She gently licked the train conductor's neck, revealing a pair of sharp canine teeth. Before those teeth, all her skin seemed fragile and delicate...
"Found it!"
Not far from the station, Yoruichi and Shaoling Fon quietly observed the scene unfolding before them, and at the same time... Yoruichi formed a certain judgment in her Isshin.
"It's... Bount!"
Yoruichi Shihōin at the woman who was about to attack the train conductor and said with certainty.
