Chapter 13
"Do you think I'm willing to wait here?"
Bai Ya put his Zanpakutō on his waist and followed Haruto's steps.
"Four major families."
"Among people of the same age, the only one who can fight is Yushiro from the Shihouin family."
Although he said it lightly, the names that popped out of Bai Ya's mouth were all high-ranking officials of the future Soul Society.
"But that guy is a crybaby and always goes to find a cat... Shihouin Yoruichi, it's no fun to fight."
After all, Haruto is not a noble. In front of him, Bai Ya, who is also from the five major families, still has to consider each other's face.
Although it's not much.
"And the Shihouin family is best at flash and white fight, this combination has no reference value in the current Soul Society."
"There are a few upper nobles who can show off, but these guys fight like old men and can't let go of their hands and feet at all."
When Byakuya said this, he didn't notice that Haruto secretly glanced at him:
Kuchiki Ginrei is old but his prestige is still there. If anyone hurts his precious grandson, even if he is an upper noble, he will be skinned.
Bai Ya didn't realize it at all.
"This is not..."
"After a round, I finally found that you are the most suitable."
————
"......"
The two looked at each other for a long time.
"It's not impossible."
"Oh!?"
Bai Ya's interest was lifted all of a sudden.
"But!"
"Just tell me what conditions you have."
Bai Ya's head clicked quickly like garlic.
"You can't use flash."
"Huh?"
Bai Ya's expression was stuck.
"Since you want to train your ability of Shikai, why do you have to use Shunpo?"
Haruto stared at Byakuya's eyes and asked with reason.
"Isn't this a simulation of a real battle scene..."
"I have enough reason to suspect that you want to take the opportunity to beat me up."
Haruto's eyes were narrowed into a slit, but Byakuya still felt a strong "doubt" from it, like a pair of glasses reflecting white light.
"If you don't need it, then don't use it."
After thinking for a while, Byakuya still agreed with some resentment.
"Okay."
Haruto nodded.
"......That's it?"
Byakuya waited for a long time, and when he found that Haruto didn't make any other requests, he asked curiously.
"You are not good at fighting with a knife, what else is left after sealing Shunpo?"
"......"
"Why do I feel that you are more confident than me?"
Zanken Zougui.
Kido and Zanpakuto are the main means of output for the main Shinigami. It can be said that as long as these two can be used, the battle will not end.
But Haruto's meaning seems to be...
Byakuya without Shunpo is on the same level as him.
You know, the smaller the number of the spiritual power level, the greater the gap between them - the gap between the fifth and seventh levels is much more exaggerated than the gap between the seventh and the tenth level.
"Trust your feelings."
Haruto's mean reply coupled with his extremely calm tone made Byakuya finally resist the urge to draw his sword.
"I don't know why, every time we chat, I can't wait to chop you before the end."
"It's okay, you are not the only one with this symptom, most of the boys I chat with have similar ideas."
"＃!"
Haruto successfully made Byakuya's forehead bulge.
"By the way!"
Before Byakuya exploded, Haruto clapped his hands and changed the topic very abruptly.
"We can't do it here, the dormitory is spacious, but the defense is not very good."
The dormitory is not without barrier-type defensive ghosts, but its main function is to resist attacks from the outside, and the internal defense effect is very general, which can only block the intermediate ghosts that are accidentally detonated by ordinary students.
Facing Byakuya's Zanpakutō Shikai and Haruto's level of ghost art, it was no different from paper.
"......Huh!"
"Let's go to my morning exercise place."
Talking about business, Byakuya, who took a deep breath, also regained his composure.
"Come to think of it..."
"I don't think I've ever seen you in the martial arts field?"
The morning training projects for each grade are different, but they are all gathered and carried out as a whole in the martial arts field.
"Huh~"
Hearing Haruto's question, Byakuya raised his chin again.
"Let me take you to broaden your horizons!"
"Swish."
Byakuya disappeared from the spot with a flash step, and then...
"Bang!"
With the dull sound of footsteps, Byakuya stabilized his staggering body and returned to his original position.
"......"
"Why are you closing the window?"
Byakuya stared at Haruto with ill intentions.
If he hadn't been so skilled at flash step, he would have had a broken window frame on his forehead by now - after all, flash step is not a spatial movement, it must be carried out in a sufficiently wide passage, and it must not be a confined space.
"Didn't I say that you can't use flash step?"
"The drill hasn't even started yet!"
In just a few minutes, Byakuya's mood had become quite irritable.
However, compared to when the two first met, now that Haruto does not have the ability to provoke, it seems to be much more difficult to make Byakuya lose control of his emotions.
Very progressive.
"oh."
Haruto reopened the window without changing his expression.
"I seriously doubt..."
"Yes, my Shunpo can't catch up with you. What if I lose you later?"
Before Byakuya could finish his words, he was captured again by Haruto's reasoning attack.
"...It seems right."
————
Half an hour later.
Haruto followed Byakuya's steps and came to the underground of the dean's office.
"Is there still such a space in Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy?"
Haruto turned around and looked around. The area of this area was the size of a football field, and the walls were covered with defensive ghost barriers.
"Snapped."
Byakuya fiddled with the wall, and bright light instantly filled the entire space.
"Isn't it awesome?"
Byakuya proudly showed off as he walked towards the opposite side of the field opposite the door.
"According to Grandpa, this place was originally a shelter prepared for the great nobles during the Quincy War a thousand years ago."
"Not even the dean knows about the existence of this place."
As Byakuya walked around, he knocked on the pure white wall.
Although no force was used, the collision of this level did not make any sound, which is enough to show how high the level of the barrier is.
"Regardless of the shielding level or defense strength, the configuration here is based on the captain level as the imaginary enemy, so there is no need to worry about causing damage."
When he heard Byakuya say this, Haruto glanced at the kid who was still triumphant, intentionally or unintentionally.
The dean was just an ordinary member of the Gotei 13 team. How could he possibly know the secrets of these nobles? And listening to his introduction, Haruto always felt that the great nobles were probably not only worried about the Quincy at that time, but it was a pity. ...Kuchiki Ginrei's words were heard by Byakuya, but he completely failed to grasp the point.
"so?"
Byakuya arrived directly opposite.
"We can definitely give it a try here!"
Byakuya's tone was a little excited - bringing someone in to compete was completely different from doing morning exercises alone.
"no problem."
"But as promised, if you use Shunpo, you will lose."
Haruto reiterated his previous request.
"...Okay, but!"
Byakuya gritted his teeth as he spat out the single word, but he didn't look like he was going to regret it.
"What did you think of again?"
Haruto asked casually as he stretched his muscles.
"I promised not to use Shunpo anymore, do you also want to impose some restrictions?"
"..."
Haruto looked at Byakuya from afar as if he were an idiot.
"Hey! Don't look at me like that!"
Byakuya shouted in frustration.
"Think about it for yourself. Even if you don't let me use Shunpo, who has the ability to dodge your white thunder?"
Regarding Haruto's Kidou ability, Byakuya was actually very reluctant to face it head-on, and Byakurai was the most reluctant among them.
He first taught Haruto the Kuchiki family's secret teaching of white lightning, just hoping that his roommate would be a little stronger so that he could pass the boring time at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy——
