Chapter 23: Bleach 3

Turning around with caution, Mark stopped once he saw Urahara and Yoruichi standing in front of him. But his caution was still not gone since the two were more powerful than him.

Mark felt his heart palpitate with shock as he sensed the otherworldly Reiatus of Urahara and Yoruichi. They could try to hide their Reiatsu all they wanted, but his senses are sharper than theirs.

It was magnitudes stronger than his own Reiatus, and Mark knew this because of his perfect control of his Reiryoku. His Smart-Atoms not only gave him excellent control but also excellent sense.

Urahara smiled at Mark as he sensed his Reiatsu. It was about 50% stronger after the fight with the Hollow. Urahara narrowed his eyes in amazement.

He never thought someone could become 50% stronger after a fight. But here is Mark doing just that. He also possesses excellent skills with his body from his observation.

"Who are you?" Mark asked with narrowed eyes, pretending not to know the two. Mark could not help but see how beautiful Yoruichi was, though he kept it in his mind until he was stronger.

"Hehe! My name is Urahara Kisuke. I am the owner of a candy shop." Urahara chuckled as he introduced himself. Mark looked at Urahara with a sweaty face, and Yorucihi gained a tick mark.

"Why did you say the last part? Anyway, my name is Yoruichi, and I am a Shinigami." Yoruichi said with a glare towards Urahara. Urahara chuckled as he hid behind his fan.

"My name is Mark Grayson. I am a Viltrumite." Uarahara and Yoruichi stopped what they were doing and looked at Mark in surprise. They had never heard about a Viltrumite.

'Mark-San seems capable of flying, has great strength and massive reserves of Reiatsu.' Urahara thought as he sensed Mark's Reiryoku. It has grown to the level of a 5th-seat officer.

"Well, if you don't mind, Mark-San, could you come with us? I believe you and your girlfriends are in danger," Urahara said as he looked at the sky. He already knew who the culprit was behind this attack.

Leaving Mark and his girlfriends to wander around is probably the best thing that Urahara could do since his location would be revealed. But he saw Mark and his girlfriends and could not do it.

Mark looked at Urahara for a few tense seconds before opening a portal and letting Anissa, Eve and Evie run out from the portal. The three looked at Mark with a tense face.

Seeing Mark in one piece, Evie and Anissa rushed towards her, while Eve released an unnoticed sigh, or she thought. She knew that if Mark died, she would be stuck here.

"You three, meet Urahara and Yoruichi. They are going to help us for some reason." Mark said with a smile as he wrapped his arm around Evei and Anissa's waists. 

"My~ You have three girlfriends? I'm jealous~" Urahara said with a teasing tone before he led Mark towards his shop. Of course, he did everything in secret. 

Urahara wanted to keep his location hidden from Aizen. The five arrived at the candy shop and went inside. Urahara and everyone sat around a wooden table.

"Urahara, can you explain what that monster was and why it attacked us?" Mark asked with narrowed eyes and an angry tone. He was not faking his anger. He had a clue as to who attacked him.

Mark was angry because he knew Aizen was the one who sent the Hollow to attack them. He couldn't do anything to him due to their overwhelming power gap.

"Yes, that was a Hollow. A hollow is formed when a human dies, and its soul chain starts to erode. After its chain erodes. It will turn into a mindless Hollow that can only eat other souls."

Urahara explained what Hollows are, causing Eve, Evie and Anissa to be surprised. That never happened in their world, so why would it happen here? But they didn't question it. They were in another universe, after all.

"As for who attacked you. It was a man called Aizen. He seemed to have noticed your interesting set of powers." UUrahara said while looking at all four of them. 

Urahara elaborated on who Aizen was and what he could do. Mark already understood all that, but he listened in case something had changed.

"I am afraid you four are in danger if he has eyes on you. So, how about we make a deal?" Urahara said with a glint in his eyes. Mark looked at him in surprise before thinking about it.

Mark knew he was never in danger of death, as he could escape into the multiverse. But why should he be the one running away? Why could it not be them?

"What is the deal?" Mark asked.

"I noticed how much stronger you became after the battle with the Hollow. I have never seen anything like that before, and I don't think I will ever see something like that." Urahara said with a light tone as he thought of his words.

Everything he said to Mark and his girlfriends was for a reason and purpose. He knows he could never beat Aizen in a battle of brawns. But he found someone who could.

"The deal goes like this. I will train you and make you stronger, and in turn, you will help us defeat Aizen." Urahara said while putting his hand out. Mark looked at him in surprise before thinking about it.

'Well. I have nothing to lose from this deal... Urahara is also not the kind of man to betray you easily,' Mark thought before shaking Urahara's hand under everyone's watch.

"Great! The deal is closed!" Urahara suddenly became energetic as he waved his fan around. Mark smirked at it before leaning back in a relaxed posture.

"Don't get relaxed yet, brat. I saw your physical skills, and you are mostly a hand-to-hand fighter. Tomorrow, I will begin teaching you." Yoruichi suddenly dropped a bombshell on everyone except Urahara.

Urahara knew Yoruichi would train Makr in hand since he saw his impressive skills in the fight with the Hollow. The Renkyaku was similar to a Cero in a blade form.

"Yes, sensei!" Mark said with a grin as he sized Yoruichi up. He sensed the power of her Reiryoku and shivered in excitement.

'Ge seems to be a battle fanatic as he doesn't realise the massive grin on his face.' Urahara thought with a smile. 

"Alright, Tessai, could you please lead them to their room? Since they are together, there's no need for a separate one," Urahara said with a smile as a man wearing glasses and an apron entered the room.

"Yes, follow me, please," Tessai said. Mark nodded as he got up along with Eve, Evie and Anissa.

"Are you sure about this?" Yoruichi asked once they were alone. Urahara smiled with his fan covering his mouth and his bucket hat overshadowing his eyes.

"Yoruichi, you don't understand. Mark's ability to become stronger after a fight is not a one-time thing. He will continue to grow stronger until no one can stop him," Urahara said.

"He is a monster."
