Unohana's Small Regret
Wang Xun did not answer immediately.
If I had to explain why, it would definitely be because...
There are still fragments of Hakuda and Shunpo to collect in the Second Division.
His current status and arrangements allow him to move freely between these two squads.
How can we show favoritism?
I'm fairly satisfied with my life right now; each squad has its own advantages.
"There are also things I need to learn in the Second Division, and Captain Yoruichi has treated me well, so I don't have any plans to switch teams for the time being."
Isane nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She didn't press further, but the admiration in her eyes remained undiminished.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again.
"Um, Wang Xun, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Explain."
"It's about the phase adjustment of the third node during Reiatsu channeling..."
Isane earnestly described her confusion.
Wang Xun listened, nodding occasionally, and then began to explain.
His tone was calm and his logic was clear; he broke down every difficulty in detail.
Isane listened intently, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
After finishing speaking, Isane let out a long sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is. I've been stuck here for so long, I just couldn't figure it out."
She looked at Wang Xun, her eyes filled with a complex emotion.
Why are you able to learn so quickly?
Wang Xun up and saw Isane lower her head, talking to herself.
"I've been observing you for a long time. You only watched the Kaidō by Lieutenant Yamada once, and then you were able to do about 70-80% of it in your next practice session. In a few more days, you'll basically have mastered it completely."
She paused, a hint of disbelief in her voice.
"You seem to have been born with this knowledge; you can grasp it after seeing it only once."
Wang Xun remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he smiled, neither denying nor admitting it.
"Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous."
Upon hearing this, Isane realized that she had talked too much.
Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly raised her hands to cover her flustered expression, which only made her look more flustered.
Wang Xun laughed, indicating that he didn't care, and Isane gradually regained her composure.
After lunch, in the afternoon.
Wang Xun arrived at the training room as agreed.
Unohana was already waiting there, holding a scroll of ancient texts in her hand.
Seeing him enter, she placed the books on the table.
"Your practice Kaidō morning went well; your perception and control of Reiatsu have reached a considerable level."
Wang Xun listened quietly.
"Next, let me teach you some techniques for Dual Incantation."
"Your foundation is already quite good. Now you can try the next exercises."
Unohana gestured to Wang Xun, Wang Xun understood and followed Unohana to the Fourth Division's Kidō training ground.
On the way, Unohana explained the techniques and concepts to Wang Xun.
"The ultimate goal of Dual Incantation is to simultaneously release Bakudō and Hadō, in order to instantly bind the enemy while attacking them."
"Therefore, one needs to reach an extremely high level of understanding regarding both types of incantations and the circulation of Reiatsu in the Kidō."
A moment later, the two arrived at the Kidō training ground.
"You already have a foundation in simultaneously manipulating the Reiatsu of the Kidō. Next, I will demonstrate the method of Dual Incantation for you."
"While Dual Incantation, recall the way that Reiatsu intertwines, and use the incantation to mobilize that Reiatsu."
After explaining the basic theory, Unohana gently opened her mouth and chanted two different incantations for the Kidō).
The two chants were obscure and difficult to pronounce, and different Reiatsu fluctuations intertwined and overlapped with the chants.
After finishing the recitation, Unohana looked at Wang Xun.
"You give it a try."
Wang Xun felt the sense of clarity as the fragments entered his body, and softly chanted, coordinating with the manipulation of his Reiatsu.
After Wang Xun finished reciting, he raised his head and looked at Unohana.
Unohana remained silent for a few seconds.
She then nodded slightly, her tone as usual.
"Good, continue."
Wang Xun repeated his practice, trying, under the guidance of Unohana, to combine the feeling of merging the Double Incantation with the previous Kidō Reiatsu.
The system notification in front of him confirmed that his proficiency in Double Incantation was constantly improving.
[Kidō Branch Skill - Double Incantation Proficiency Increased by 15%]
[Double Incantation: Beginner (24%)]
After a brief instruction session, Unohana got up and left.
Wang Xun remained in the training room, continuing his practice of Double Incantation.
As his proficiency steadily increased, he trained even harder.
Unohana walked alone on the corridor, her pace slower than usual.
The scene from just now still lingered in her mind.
Kidō techniques are easy to learn, just like the previous Kaidō.
No, it can't even be called teaching.
She only demonstrated it once.
Unohana stopped and stood by the window in the corridor.
Outside the window is the courtyard of the Fourth Division. The afternoon sun shines on the trees, casting a warm golden hue over the lush green leaves.
She recalled a long time ago, when she had just begun learning the Kaidō.
The boy was running at an even faster pace on the path she had once walked.
Perhaps one day, his level of Kaidō will surpass hers, and he might even reach the level of the person who taught her Kaidō.
The wind blew through the corridor, stirring the tips of Unohana.
pity.
It's just a talent in the Kidō.
Then, she suddenly chuckled softly, as if amused by her own abrupt idea.
Unohana composed herself and slowly walked away.
A few more days passed.
Inside the Fourth Division Captain's Room, Retsu Unohana and Kiyōnosuke Yamada sat facing each other, the aroma of tea wafting through the air.
Wang Xun sat to the side, listening quietly to their conversation.
"In the past month, the number of Soul Reaper attacks reported by each division has increased by 40% compared to the same period last year, resulting in a significant increase in the number of cases handled by the Fourth Division."
Kiyōnosuke Yamada placed a report on the table.
"Especially in the outer areas of Rukongai, many cases of Soul Reaper disappearing without a trace have occurred. Reports indicate that most of these are hoaxes."
Unohana picked up her teacup.
What's the current situation in Hueco Mundo?
"I don't know," Yamada shook his head, "There's been no news from Hueco Mundo for quite some time."
Unohana remained silent for a moment.
"Perhaps the Menos Grande are becoming more active," she said, setting down her teacup. "I hope the various divisions will increase their vigilance."
Yamada nodded and put the report away.
Wang Xun listened from the side, his face remaining expressionless, but he was secretly thinking.
He recalled the Fourth Seat of the Fifth Division who had participated in the emergency rescue a few days ago, who was said to have been attacked by Adjuchas.
The Adjuchas was later captured alive and taken to the Shin'ō Underground Great: The Jail.
I heard that the Fourth Seat of the Fifth Division was on the verge of death at the time. If it weren't for Shinji Hirako's timely intervention, he would most likely have lost his life.
At the time, he thought it was just a coincidence, but now that Yamada said it, something stirred within him.
Could that Adjuchas have also been released by Aizen?
It seems Aizen is about to make another move.
"Wang Xun."
Unohana's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"A few days later, you're going to study with the Kidō Corps?"
"Yes," Wang Xun replied, "I might need to take a day off afterward."
"Remember to balance both aspects and don't neglect one or the other, or you'll fall behind in progress."
Unohana murmured softly.
"Your talent in the Kaidō is far more important than your talent in the Kidō."
"The Soul Society has no shortage of skilled assassins, but it desperately needs excellent doctors."
Wang Xun nodded.
"Clear."
