Chapter 5: Is he also a hidden genius like me?

[[This is a translation so please don't hate me for the developments. I will try to remove shitty brainrot scenes with better ones but it is from a MTL ... so please no bashing in the comments for the plot. I am just a translator after all.]]

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

The airwaves surged and transformed into a fierce hurricane, exploding like a bomb.

BOOM!

Immediately, it made Akira's vision go black, and a buzzing sound echoed in his ears.

Even without using spiritual pressure, the sheer force and technique were enough for the current Yoruichi Shihōin to achieve absolute dominance.

Akira's heart chilled, instinctively dodging to avoid the fatal attack.

No one knew better than him the power of Yoruichi's punch.

If hit, at best, he would be severely injured; at worst, he would die.

This woman is crazy!

The thin fist grazed Akira's cheek, the impact turning into a violent hurricane, suddenly erupting!

WHOOSH!

At that moment, Akira felt as if he were in the deep sea's dark currents, his body being pulled like clay.

An unprecedented feeling!

Danger seemed to be everywhere!

The hurricane hit the solid ground, exploding with a roar, creating several ferocious cracks, like gaping bloody mouths, showcasing brutality and danger.

Cold sweat trickled down his face as Akira's nerves were taut to breaking point.

"Well, not bad!"

Yoruichi praised, "You are the first freshman to dodge my punch."

"Since you have such talent, let's increase the difficulty a bit, and give the other freshmen a lesson."

"Hakuda is the last resort of the Shinigami, hence it is important that every student graduates with full marks."

"So, consider this a special lesson from me."

As the staggering students focused on the two in the field, Yoruichi Shihōin moved again.

This time, the crowd was surprised to find that their eyes could follow the girl's movements.

Although it was extremely difficult to understand, if they forced themselves to remember, it could be considered a white fighting technique!

On the other hand, Akira's eyes were dull, like a wooden doll, standing still.

Seeing this, Yoruichi shook her head in disappointment.

Geniuses are still rare.

Otherwise, with a batch of graduates every year, there wouldn't be so few captain-level members in the Gotei-13.

This guy is rude, but a small lesson should suffice.

Thinking this, Yoruichi's fist power slightly retracted, and her speed slowed down a bit.

However, in Akira's vision, the moment Yoruichi launched the attack, her posture was instantly divided into dozens of parts.

Arms, legs, waist, torso, even the tremors in front of her were meticulously distinguished.

At this moment, Akira was like a dry sponge, eagerly absorbing the key points of this Hakuda technique.

In just a brief moment, he grasped and digested its advantages and disadvantages, turning them into his own.

When he fully mastered Yoruichi's rhythm, he truly realized the terrifying extent of the exclusive entry [Adeptus Maximus].

Although this entry couldn't instantly increase his combat power, it provided him maximum growth potential for any skill.

With this entry alone, he could reach the pinnacle of any skill!

Brilliant light flickered in Akira's pupils, and his entire aura underwent a tremendous change!

Supported by someone to the side, Aizen watched his friend in the field with great interest, the slight smile on his lips indicating his current mood wasn't unsettled.

Yoruichi also noticed Akira's change, but with the heat of the battle rising, she couldn't pull back. She could only grit her teeth and charge towards the seemingly defenseless boy with her fist.

With a crisp sound, Akira's palm blocked Yoruichi's fist.

But at the moment of contact, a heart-pounding roar erupted.

Boom!

The surging airwaves rolled in all directions.

Although it didn't cause much damage, it left the students who had endured Yoruichi Shihōin's beating dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their eyes.

Blocked?!

No, how did this guy do it?!

Countless similar thoughts surged in the crowd's minds like waves.

They couldn't believe the scene before them, nor were they willing to accept that they would lose to an unknown shrine master.

During this time together, the students had gradually learned Akira's identity.

Compared to most of the Noblility in Seireitei, even with the identity of a shrine master, Akira, who came from Rukongai, was still inferior to others in terms of status.

Yet, this commoner had temporarily suppressed a big figure from the Shihōin family in the white fighting assessment!

"He blocked it !!!."

Yoruichi looked up at the small boy in front of her, a surprised expression on her face.

"Unexpected."

"To think you used this method to counter, a Hakuda genius perhaps?"

Yoruichi's voice reached his ears, and although Akira appeared calm on the surface, his mental state was close to breaking.

No wonder, the gap in strength between them was too great to ignore.

Even receiving the punch with his palm almost shattered Akira's hand bones.

If not for maintaining his image, he would have screamed in pain by now.

Hold on, you must hold on!

You can't let your reputation be ruined here.

Yoruichi seemed to sense Akira's current state.

She chuckled, her slender left wrist turning, another Hakuda technique.

This time, it was close combat grappling.

The extreme force acted on Akira's arms, severely limiting his next moves.

Fortunately, Akira released Yoruichi's right hand in time, giving himself a chance.

Yoruichi, not letting up, displayed more exquisite Hakuda techniques, her movements becoming faster and more violent, like an ever-growing terrifying hurricane, trying to engulf Akira completely.

However, in the face of such a powerful momentum, Akira was like a small boat in the vast ocean, seemingly on the verge of capsizing but always somehow managing to survive at the last moment.

At the same time, under Yoruichi's strong suppression, he continued to utilize the [Adeptus Maximus]'s characteristics, learning the true essence of Hakuda techniques from the slowed-down moves.

As their fierce battle continued, Oomaeda noticed something was wrong.

Wait!

How did they end up entangled?!

Akira's right hand was locked in front of Yoruichi's chest.

Yoruichi's legs were clamped around Akira's neck in a scissor-like hold, and if not for his left hand blocking her thigh, his head might have been crushed.

Meanwhile, Akira's legs were also clamped around Yoruichi's waist.

Both were restraining each other, and in terms of posture, Akira even had the upper hand!

Akira knew very well that Yoruichi's competitive spirit made her refrain from using spiritual pressure, relying solely on pure technique, which gave him an opportunity.

If it were a life-and-death battle, he would have been defeated in an instant.

"Yoruichi-sama has locked Akira!"

"Wrong! I think it's Akira who has locked Yoruichi-sama!"

The heated debate among the spectating students woke Oomaeda up.

When he finally came to his senses, the two's posture had become extremely ambiguous.

And Aizen, watching from the side, had a few more sparks in his eyes.

Interesting…

Is he also a hidden genius like me?
