"Captain Kyōraku, are you certain you want to enter now?" the escorting Shinigami asked hesitantly, standing before the 6th Squad barracks.
The incredibly unpleasant voice from within continued its loud roaring, seemingly some kind of bullying.
"Is that a question?" Kyōraku Callum walked to the barracks door and kicked it open!
Crack!
The sharp sound of splintering wood instantly overwhelmed Kurashima Daiki's shouting.
"Who's there?!" Kurashima Daiki's appearance matched his unpleasant voice; his looks were equally jarring. Kyōraku Callum found him almost unbearable to look at.
"Is this...a miracle of creation?" he thought, barely suppressing a shudder.
Kurashima Daiki, furious, glared at the two of them. "Damn you! This is the 4th Division, 6th Medical Squad's barracks! I'm the vice-captain, and you dare cause trouble in front of me?!"
Kyōraku Callum pointed a finger, his voice low and steady. "Bakudō #4, Hainawa!"
Spiritual pressure surged from his fingertip, forming a golden, shimmering rope that instantly bound Kurashima Daiki's hands and feet.
"Damn you! You dare attack me! You know who I—" Kurashima Daiki's words were cut short as Kyōraku Callum bound his mouth shut.
Kyōraku Callum let out a breath of relief. "Finally, some peace and quiet." If he hadn't been mindful of this being the 4th Division barracks, he would have eliminated Kurashima Daiki on the spot. Such a person didn't deserve to exist within the Seireitei.
Kurashima Daiki writhed on the ground like a maggot, his furious eyes fixed on Kyōraku Callum, as if trying to memorize his face. He vowed to get revenge later.
Slap! Kyōraku Callum stepped on his face, then turned to the 6th Squad members.
"Let me introduce myself," he said. "I am Kyōraku Callum, newly appointed 6th Seat of the 4th Division, and the new captain of the 6th Medical Squad!"
The other Shinigami stared in shock. Their slow reflexes hadn't recovered from the sudden impact. Fortunately, the escorting Shinigami reacted quickly, bowing deeply.
"Welcome, Captain Kyōraku!"
The other Shinigami, now regaining their senses, followed suit.
"Welcome, Captain Kyōraku!"
"Welcome, Captain Kyōraku!"
Kyōraku Callum nodded in satisfaction. While these Shinigami seemed weak, they still possessed some potential for improvement.
"Was this guy bullying you all?" he asked, noting their bruised and battered faces.
The Shinigami exchanged glances, none daring to speak.
"Don't worry, I've got your backs," Kyōraku Callum said, kicking Kurashima Daiki away. "Beat him! Beat him until he can't stand! Return all the violence he inflicted upon you!"
The Shinigami exchanged glances, still hesitant to act. Seeing Kurashima Daiki's continued arrogance, Kyōraku Callum released the Bakudō from his mouth. He'd hoped this would ignite their fighting spirit, but he was disappointed.
Kurashima Daiki, in an arrogant voice, shouted, "Damn you! I'm the heir to the noble Kurashima family! If these trash dare touch me, I'll have them all sent to Muken!"
Kyōraku Callum raised an eyebrow, surprised.
"Kurashima family? That name sounds familiar."
The escorting Shinigami explained, "Captain Kyōraku, the Kurashima are a low-ranking noble family residing on the outskirts of the noble district."
Kyōraku Callum looked down at the writhing Kurashima Daiki with a condescending gaze.
"Low-ranking noble?!" he said.
Kurashima Daiki, incredibly arrogant, looked up at Kyōraku Callum, threatening, "Scared, are you? If you want to live, unbind me! If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life!"
Kyōraku Callum responded with the sole of his boot.
Thwack!
He kicked Kurashima Daiki several meters away, showing no mercy.
Kurashima Daiki, dazed, was utterly confused. He'd revealed his identity, yet this guy still dared to attack him? A commoner assaulting a noble?!
"You're dead!" Kurashima Daiki shouted, his voice surprisingly strong.
"Are you deaf?" Kyōraku Callum sneered. "When I introduced myself, were your ears glued to your ass?"
Kurashima Daiki struggled to process Kyōraku Callum's earlier words.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Kyōraku Callum."
Kyō...Kyōraku?!
Kurashima Daiki's pupils constricted in terror, shrinking to pinpricks. He suddenly remembered the prestigious Kyōraku family among the upper nobility.
A wave of icy fear washed over him. He couldn't imagine the punishment he'd face for assaulting an upper noble.
"Ca-Captain Kyōraku," Kurashima Daiki stammered, trying to raise his head. "I was blind, I didn't recognize—"
Bang!
Before he could finish, a Shinigami from the squad grabbed a piece of the broken door and smashed it onto Kurashima Daiki's head.
And so, the tide turned.
