Shin'ō Academy
Principal's Office
An elderly officer with a head full of white hair, only one side black, stood respectfully in front of the desk, succinctly reporting the details of the recent mission.
"The rebel unrest is no longer limited to the interests of the nobles. Those madmen have even extended their reach to Rukongai, the Gotei 13, and the Kido Corps. According to the information submitted by the Second Division, there have been contacts between vice-captain level Shinigami and the rebels. Although there is no conclusive evidence, based on my years of experience, this rebellion is likely related to a certain captain."
After the report, the Third Seat of the First Division, Chōya Genjirō, still respectfully bowed his head, waiting for the elder behind the desk to speak.
"Genjirō, you did well this time," Yamamoto Shigekuni said sternly. "While eliminating the rebels, you also captured enough intelligence. With this information, we might be able to attempt to completely annihilate the rebels disturbing the Soul Society!"
He paused, then continued, "Since the mission is complete, why not return to your position as principal? Additionally, I have discovered many promising talents in the Spiritual Arts Academy and have adjusted their teaching plans accordingly. Among them, Kuchiki Sōjun and Kisaragi Akira need special attention."
Hearing this, Genjirō showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Kuchiki Sōjun is the heir of the Kuchiki family head, receiving noble education from a young age. Before entering the academy, he already had the level of a seated officer, excelling in all aspects of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, and Kido. Among the nobles, few can match his talent. But Kisaragi Akira is just a new student, right? I remember he…"
Before he could finish, Yamamoto interrupted, "During your mission, this kid caused quite a stir in the academy. Not only among his peers but even the teachers are no match for him. Just focus on him. With his talent, he might graduate from the academy soon. If he performs well, he might join the Gotei-13. It would be a shame if such a genius were recruited by other nobles."
Genjirō nodded respectfully, noting down the Head Captain's words. He might question the Head Captain's methods but never his judgment of people. Just looking at Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō was proof enough. Not to mention, he had also taught other Shinigami captains.
After Yamamoto left, Genjirō had his subordinates bring all the information on Akira and began to review it carefully. As he read through the information, his stern face showed a range of colors, from blue to red to yellow to white to purple, a dazzling display.
After a long time, Genjirō finally recovered from his shock, muttering to himself, "Beating up teachers, blowing up the male dormitory, inventing a self-destructing Shakkahō … How can our academy contain such a talent…"
...
Once again, the Kido class was in session, and on the dojo floor, Tessai stood with his arms crossed, staring sternly at the two young men before him: Kisaragi Akira and Aizen Sōsuke.
"Today's lesson is Kido combat practice," Tessai said in a deep voice, frowning. "If your injuries haven't fully healed, I can allow you to opt out."
Akira waved his hands excitedly, "No problem, Tessai-sensei. I'm good to go. Thanks to Captain Unohana's healing, I'm all better now. So, who are we fighting first?"
Tessai 's face darkened, looking like a piece of coal. "Combat is secondary; safety is the priority. Both of you will stand within the designated Kido barrier and engage in Kido combat. The first to break the other's defensive barrier wins."
"Since you and Aizen are always together, you must be familiar with each other's strengths. Let's start with you two."
Akira's eyes widened, "Tessai-sensei, how can you accuse me out of nowhere? When did I… become familiar with Sōsuke's strength?"
He was always straightforward. Since enrolling, Aizen rarely fought, and his occasional performances in practical classes were mediocre. The only time he received praise was when he set Akira up. To others, Aizen seemed like Akira's sidekick, with good theoretical talent but average in other areas.
However, Akira knew that Aizen's current strength was beyond his measure. The talent to instantly invent Kido inscriptions was no less than the [Adeptus Maximus], perhaps even more terrifying. With such talent and Aizen's hardworking nature, his strength was evident. Honestly, if Aizen pulled out a Kurohitsugi now, Akira wouldn't be surprised. He would just die peacefully.
Tessai's mouth twitched. He thought the two had a falling out due to the Shakkahō incident, but it turned out Akira wasn't familiar with Aizen's strength. Even a genius's current strength was limited. With Tessai overseeing, there was no need to worry about them hurting each other. He just needed to ensure no more self-destructing Hado.
"No worries," Tessai said seriously, "As long as you don't mess around, nothing will go wrong with me here."
"Got it, Tessai-sensei!" Akira rubbed his hands, looking even more excited. "With you here, I'm relieved. Sōsuke, bring it on. It's time to show you what a true mage is."
Seeing Akira's excitement, Tessai began to regret his decision. It seemed he had made a mistake. But it was too late to back out now. As he hesitated, the two had already stepped into the prepared Kido barrier. The large oval barrier covered most of the dojo. After setting up their defensive barriers, Tessai retreated to the edge, ready to intervene if necessary.
Facing the excited Akira, Aizen's lips curled slightly, "Although this is somewhat inappropriate, since it's your wish, I'll indulge you."
Akira grinned confidently, "Don't underestimate me, Sōsuke. I'm really strong now!"
