============================================================================

The name Aizen Sosuke undoubtedly gave Kisaragi Akira a considerable shock.

For a moment, his expression fell into a trance.

He never expected that he would arrive at a completely unknown point in the world of Bleach.

At this point, the so-called plot knowledge was mostly scrapped.

Originally planning to avoid Aizen and develop quietly, he didn't expect to run into him so quickly…

"Kisaragi-san, you seem a bit…"

"No, I'm fine!"

Akira came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and returned to normal.

He looked at Aizen in front of him, just in time to meet the other's slightly concerned gaze.

Strangely, his spidey sense did not detect the slightest bit of danger from Aizen.

On the contrary.

The gentle and humble smile gave a sense of friendliness, making people involuntarily feel a good impression for the boy in front of them.

Maybe this is what they call charisma?

"That's good."

Aizen smiled, "The reporting time is almost over, let's hurry up."

Kisaragi Akira nodded, suppressing the information about Aizen in his heart, and entered the Spiritual Arts Academy together.

…

Class 1, Year 1.

After completing the relevant procedures, the two sat in the tidy classroom, looking around at the equally curious students with curious eyes.

The students who could sit in this classroom were all geniuses from the entrance test.

Kisaragi Akira considered himself lucky to have entered Class 1, so he naturally had no arrogance.

Moreover, sitting next to him was a true genius—

Aizen Sosuke.

"Akira, you've looked at me thirty-seven times." Aizen said without turning his head.

After a brief exchange, the two had gradually become familiar with each other, and their way of addressing each other had also changed slightly.

Of course.

This was largely due to Aizen's infectious charisma.

It was precisely because of this that Kisaragi Akira was very curious about one thing.

Is Aizen's current personality a disguise, or is it his true nature?

"I'm struggling with a question."

"Between you and me, who is more handsome?"

Aizen's gaze froze.

Before he could answer, Kisaragi Akira's gaze shifted to the figure steadily walking onto the podium.

"Hmm, is this our future teacher?"

With a laid-back personality, he quickly accepted the fact that he and Aizen were classmates.

There was no escaping it, so he could only accept the reality.

"I am your homeroom teacher."

"Kaede Runya."

The middle-aged man, who never smiled, began the routine pre-school speech, with endless words that seemed to be every teacher's natural instinct.

"I hope that in the future, you can not only join the Gotei-13 but also become a seated officer through training…"

The teacher droned on, while the students whispered below.

"Sosuke, is your goal also to become a member of the Gotei-13?"

Kisaragi Akira asked curiously, "Or do you have greater ambitions?"

The current boy was very different from the Aizen in his impression.

Aizen slightly turned his head, pretending to think, and after a moment of contemplation, he answered softly:

"I think, students who join the Shin'ō Academy should all have similar ambitions, right?"

"After all, the purpose of the Shin'ō Academy is to teach new members for the Kido Corps, the Onmitsukidō, and the Gotei 13."

Hearing this, Kisaragi Akira relaxed, put his hands behind his head, and laughed:

"I'm different."

"Graduating smoothly is my greatest ambition."

Aizen nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

Everyone has their own aspirations.

Ambitions are nothing more than the things one most wants to achieve at the current stage, and people will change to varying degrees over time.

Perhaps, in the near future…

As he pondered, he noticed that Kisaragi Akira's expression suddenly became serious.

"Danger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of something breaking through the air came from the podium.

Snap!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

Kisaragi Akira slightly tilted his head, and a piece of chalk brushed past his cheek, hitting the forehead of a student behind him.

The exaggerated force left a white mark on the student's brow.

"Thankfully Spidey sense works fine."

Akira thought, extremely satisfied with his Spidey sense.

While talking with Aizen, he clearly sensed the impending danger.

Instinctively tilting his head, he easily avoided this crisis.

Aizen chuckled and shook his head, gaining a deeper understanding of his new friend.

Although he seemed weak, there were always some strange qualities about him.

He had also noticed Kaede Runya's action just now, but he didn't expect Akira to dodge it so easily.

This made him even more curious about his new friend.

"Kisaragi Akira, Aizen Sosuke."

Kaede Runya was somewhat surprised that the new student could dodge his sneak attack, but he didn't pay much attention to it and maintained classroom discipline as usual.

"Please keep quiet."

"Let's continue with the previous topic."

…

Kaede Runya didn't mind Akira's violation. In his view, a teacher should have a certain level of tolerance, otherwise, they would eventually be angered by some rebellious students.

However, he underestimated someone's limits.

It wouldn't be long before Kaede Runya realized how wrong he was.

The first day of school didn't involve any substantial learning content, mainly focusing on the academy rules, the general direction of teaching, and motivational speeches about diligent practice.

For Kisaragi Akira, a modern-day slacker, these words went in one ear and out the other.

Of course, he wouldn't openly refute them.

In Akira's view, the most important thing at the moment was to continuously discover his golden finger and strive to gain more power as soon as possible to achieve his newly established great ambition.

Previously, he had met the sign-in conditions at the Shin'ō Academy and received a reward, which sparked many ideas in his mind.

Besides daily time-based sign-ins, location-based sign-ins might help him become stronger in a short time.

However, it seemed that ordinary locations were not enough to meet the sign-in conditions.

This made Kisaragi Akira start to ponder the special locations in the Soul Society.

"Sosuke, do you know much about the Soul Society?"

"Just a bit."

A very humble answer, fitting Aizen's current personality.

"What important buildings are there in the Soul Society similar to the Shin'ō Academy?"

Unable to come up with an answer, Kisaragi Akira decisively threw the question to Aizen.

As a future grand schemer and a true genius, this small question shouldn't stump him.

"There are many, like the Gotei 13 headquarters, the Kido Corps headquarters, Senzaikyū, Sōkyoku Hill, Underground Assembly Hall, Seijōtōkyorin, Daireishokairō, Noble residences, and so on."

Aizen replied, "Their importance even surpasses that of the Shin'ō Academy."

"I see."

Kisaragi Akira was greatly disappointed. As a student, he couldn't access these places, so signing in was out of the question. He would have to slowly grind daily sign-ins.

Hopefully, things would get a bit better later.

I won't always be unlucky, right?
