Dumbfounded

"Saikyō..."

"As the top genius from Shinigami Academy, I believe you can do it in one day." A charming smile graced Unohana Retsu's beautiful face.

She deliberately resorted to aggressive methods, trying to motivate Saikyō this way.

The atmosphere in the entire team room became subtle because of this.

"Captain Unohana Retsu, thanks to your attention, I will not let you down." Saikyō and Unohana Retsu looked at each other, feeling the softness in her eyes, and immediately became filled with confidence.

As he had said from the beginning, he was determined to leave a deep first impression on Unohana Retsu.

He would learn Kaidō no matter what!

"I believe you can do it."

The smile on Unohana Retsu's face deepened, as if she could warm hearts inadvertently.

Saikyō felt no pressure, experiencing a sense of physical and mental release, infected by Unohana Retsu's smile.

This feeling was completely different from when he met the captain.

Both were 2,000-year-old Shinigami. The old man was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, while Unohana Retsu felt like a gentle haven, even evoking a sense of "home."

Until this moment, Saikyō finally understood why Unohana Retsu enjoyed such a highly respected status in the entire Gotei 13.

The reason was actually very simple; it was not just because of her formidable strength. After all, Unohana Retsu had always kept a low profile and never deliberately showcased her power.

The key was her easygoing nature and consideration for her subordinates!

"I'm afraid that at this time, Unohana Retsu is the only person recognized by all the Shinigami besides Aizen and the Captain-Commander," Saikyō thought to himself.

"Okay, Saikyō, let's start training next."

Unohana Retsu's sudden words jolted Saikyō from his contemplation.

"Now, as I instructed, first try to mobilize the Reiatsu in your body and condense it in the palms of your hands."

"The reason for this is that when performing Kaidō, it is essential that the action fits the wound of the injured."

Unohana Retsu emphasized this point deliberately.

Even a small movement was pursued with extreme rigor; she did not overlook any details.

"Is it really that simple?"

The principle and mode of operation of Kaidō were clear to Saikyō after listening to her.

For a Grandmaster in Kidō, there was no difficulty at all.

Thus, Saikyō followed Unohana Retsu's guidance and concentrated on trying it out.

Boom!!!

Without any visible movement, the Reiatsu in Saikyō's body erupted suddenly.

The fusion of multiple different attributes of Reiatsu surged in his palm like a torrent, emitting a dazzling array of colors that illuminated the entire team room.

"This is..."

Unohana Retsu sensed it, and a look of shock suddenly appeared on her usually gentle and kind face.

With her keen insight, it was natural for her to see Saikyō's uniqueness at a glance.

When the legendary multi-attribute Reiatsu truly manifested before her, even with her extensive experience, Unohana Retsu couldn't help but be amazed!

"Saikyō, I didn't expect your Reiatsu to be so special, and the density is remarkable!" Unohana Retsu praised him generously.

Judging from the strength alone, the Reiatsu in Saikyō's body might only be on par with an ordinary officer.

However, the fusion of multi-attribute Reiatsu had caused a qualitative change, significantly increasing its strength.

Therefore, in terms of comparison, Saikyō's Reiatsu density even exceeded that of a vice-captain level Shinigami and was nearly on par with that of a captain.

This was also the significance of the existence of "Yan Mo"!

"Captain Unohana Retsu, it's not really a secret; the Captain-Commander has sensed it before," Saikyō admitted generously.

Even if he deliberately concealed it, aspects like Reiatsu are fundamental abilities of Shinigami, and there are no real secrets to them.

Thus, Saikyō would not deliberately cover it up.

"It's incredible to possess such powerful Reiatsu in less than half a year of practice," Unohana Retsu remarked, seemingly still recovering from the surprise and immersed in her previous thoughts.

"Captain Unohana Retsu's praise is truly appreciated, but my progress is purely based on luck," Saikyō replied with a chuckle.

"Luck? No, while luck plays a role, ultimately, you still have to rely on yourself." Unohana Retsu's eyes were filled with a complex expression. "No wonder you broke the records at Shinigami Academy."

After such a brief episode, Unohana Retsu gained a new understanding of Saikyō.

"However, I am now a member of the Fourth Division, and matters related to Shinigami Academy have changed. The most important thing is to master Kaidō as soon as possible."

Saikyō changed the subject at the right moment.

"That's right, let's proceed to the next step. I was a bit distracted just now."

Unohana Retsu nodded and immediately raised her palm. "To give you a clear idea, let's allow you to experience how Reiatsu is transformed."

Boom!

Unohana Retsu repeated her previous action, exuding her own Reiatsu.

Then, contrary to Saikyō's expectations, she placed her palm on Saikyō's arm.

This action suddenly made the atmosphere a bit awkward!

"Captain, what is this?"

Saikyō didn't react for a moment.

"Saikyō, feel it with your heart; this is the so-called Kaidō."

At the moment Unohana Retsu said these words, Saikyō had a clear sensation.

He saw a turquoise light emerge from Unohana Retsu's palm, as bright as a piece of emerald, containing a special healing ability.

This soft green light continuously penetrated into his blood vessels through the capillary pores on his skin.

Saikyō immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.

"Did you sense it?"

Unohana Retsu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

She resembled a kind teacher, her encouraging smile radiating warmth.

"I'll try it," Saikyō replied confidently.

In fact, after one round, he felt almost certain of his mastery of Kaidō.

Afterward, Saikyō spread both arms, imitating Unohana Retsu's earlier action.

Buzz, buzz—

After transforming his Reiatsu, a turquoise light blossomed from his palms, the soft energy within giving a sense of endless vitality.

"Did you really learn it in an instant?"

Although he had been continuously motivated before, Unohana Retsu spoke in a joking tone.

For her, becoming a Grandmaster in Kaidō in a day was nearly impossible.

Even for a super genius, achieving it in such a short period was improbable.

Yet, Saikyō had done it!

"Saikyō, how should I describe it? Your talent..."

Unohana Retsu wore a complicated expression.

She found it difficult to find the right words to convey her amazement at Saikyō's exceptional talent.

She was left speechless.

This was already the best response ever!
