Chapter 56
"call!"
The pale golden flames shot straight out, instantly engulfing the waste flames in mid-air, and not a single bit of spiritual pressure was unnecessary.
————
"Who's meddling?"
The student who was rescued by Huang Huoyan was looking at Haruto with grateful eyes. Unfortunately, he had walked in front of the real God of Death. His whole body was wet with sweat. After being overly frightened, he had difficulty even speaking.
The user of the waste flame, on the other hand, roared unceremoniously at the group of "uninvited guests" like Haruto - a brat with blond hair and a spiky hair. He looked older than Byakuya... no, older than Nanao. Still young.
"..."
Haruto and Byakuya looked at each other wordlessly.
It's not that they are sentimental, it's strange that there are students who don't recognize them in the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.
"Let's not mention your attitude when talking to seniors."
"In a competition between classmates, using such a destructive method as Fei Yan, don't you think your behavior is a bit excessive?"
Haruto doesn't like to use seniority and age to show off.
However, considering that he would soon receive a job from Mutsuki-sensei, he thought it would be better to adapt to it in advance.
"cut!"
The kid spat disdainfully.
"Would I not understand my own broken path?"
"What he did just now could only be sent to the hospital for ten and a half days, and he wouldn't be able to save his life...I heard that this class representative election was based on the real sword trial. If this is not the case, I don’t even have the consciousness to dare to challenge, so I think it’s an understatement to call it a ‘price’.”
This answer surprised Haruto:
Although the other party looked as if he was a millionaire, his words made sense.
but!
The competition between them was not a real sword test.
Knowing that the other party is not as good as yourself, you still have to deal with such a heavy hand just for the face of the so-called aristocrat——
This kid's values are very questionable.
"tall."
The kid paid no attention to his defeated opponent, but rushed to Haruto in two strides.
It was obvious that he was looking up to Haruto, but his expression seemed to be completely reversed:
"You seem to be quite interesting. You are not the kind of idiot who just relies on your status as a senior to talk nonsense in front of me."
The kid glanced at the Zanpakutō at Haruto's waist.
Haruto's movements just now were very fast, and less than ten people could catch him flicking the knife.
And he happened to pay attention to the process of Haruto releasing the Yellow Fire Flash.
The kid is very aware of the strength of his own waste flames. Even the remnants of the weakened flames can be hit and destroyed so easily with a thirty-something broken path at a distance of tens of meters. This strength should not weaken him. too much.
"Pop."
The other party patted Haruto's chest hard - because he didn't feel any malice, Haruto didn't avoid it.
"I am Kumoi Takashi."
"Fuck with me, and I'll keep you the captain of the Gotei 13 from now on!"
Kumoi's words made Haruto and Byakuya look at each other again.
"Whose general is this?"
Haruto had never heard of this surname at all. To dare to make such arrogant remarks, he must be a high-ranking nobleman.
But arrogance is arrogance. Even the four nobles dare not open their mouths and agree to a captain position.
This question was obviously not directed at Kumoi. Byakuya took over the topic with understanding:
"This boy is the only son of the Kasumadalu family."
"The Kasumioji family is nominally aligned with the Shifengin family, so they are also one of the few female heads among the upper-class nobles."
The inheritance of upper-level nobles in Soul Society usually has a long history, and the systems implemented by each family are also different; the Kasumioji family adopts the method of joint power between the family head and the family elders, in which the power in the hands of the family head will be greater.
As for why the family's elder was not named Kasumioji, Byakuya didn't explain and Haruto didn't ask any more questions. He thought it was a history of grievances within the nobles.
Speaking of this, Byakuya, who had not deliberately lowered his voice just now, suddenly leaned into Haruto's ear: "I heard that the elder of Kasumioji's family is almost a thousand years old. Everyone thought that he didn't have a few years to live. Then, suddenly there was this kid.”
"..."
It’s not surprising that you develop such a character when you grow up and have children.
"Oh~"
Kumoi Takashi didn't hear Byakuya's muttering, but he could hear all the previous descriptions clearly.
"You guys know this very well. If you want to swear allegiance to me, you can at least become a staff member in the future."
"..."
The shock level of Kumoi Takashi's speech was much more exciting than the competition just now.
He also quickly sensed something might be wrong from the strange atmosphere around him.
"Loyal to you?"
Byakuya tried very hard not to laugh.
"This is not something you just take as a joke. If you dare to accept the allegiance of the Kuchiki family, aren't you afraid that the Shifouin family will beat your brains out?"
"..."
Byakuya has made it clear enough. Kumoi Takashi is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands who is speaking in front of him.
"Are you Byakuya Kuchiki?"
"So, you are the Haruto who performed the real sword trial?"
Haruto nodded simply:
"......right."
"Tsk, you started so quickly."
Things have developed to this point, of course, Yunjing Xiao has no idea of recruiting people. Self-knowledge is a necessary quality for being a senior noble. His status is noble, but compared with the young master of the Kuchiki family, there is still a big gap.
"In this case..."
"Come and compete with me."
Yunjing Xiao did not turn around and leave, but said to Haruto.
"Competition?"
Haruto asked back.
"Yes, I heard that the Maou Spiritual Academy has reopened the True Sword Trial, so I specially joined the fifth grade."
"It's just that there is a problem with the order."
He entered the Maou Spiritual Academy in the same way as Byakuya, and he joined the class directly without taking the exam.
Of course, a senior noble like him must meet the admission requirements... even if his brain is not very useful.
"These guys are boring."
Yunjing Xiao didn't even look at his classmates.
"The 'chief' in the mouth of the fifth-year student is at best a decent user of the Red Fire Cannon, and is not even as durable as my sparring partner."
"I have seen the description of the real sword test in the book. Since you dare to bring it up, you must have some skills."
"The yellow fire flash just now is enough to prove that I am not wrong."
"Hurry up--"
Haruto interrupted the other party before he asked... or more accurately, "demanded" to say it:
"Kumoi Takashi."
Haruto called him by his name.
The title is neither classmate nor young master: the former is only used by students of the same grade, and the latter is completely exclusive to Byakuya in Haruto's case... even if it is teasing.
"The martial arts field is not a venue opened by your family."
"If you must trace the right of use, I believe your old father will not have any complaints against Captain-General Yamamoto."
When facing nobles, Haruto rarely uses such an impolite way of speaking, let alone a superior noble like the Kasumigaoji family.
Calling him by his name not only stunned Kumoi Takashi, but also made the classmates who were "familiar" with Haruto feel strange.
"In front of the seniors, it is better to follow the rules."
"As for the competition you want..."
"Huh!"
A purple-red flame ignited on Haruto's raised fingertips.
"When will your waste flame reach this level? I might consider it a little."
"Swish--"
Haruto raised his finger and flicked it. The mini waste flame, which did not even use half a chant, had already landed steadily on the open space behind Kumoi Takashi.
"Bang!!"

Volume 1: 037, swish
The Kasumigaoji family is not to be feared.
Besides, Kumoi Takashi is just the offspring of the family elder.
If they belonged to the camp of the Tsunayashiro family, Haruto would not say it so directly. He would definitely spend some time on the art of language.
But since the other party is using the relationship of the Shihouin family——
Given the relationship between the Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family, it is considered that the Kuchiki family is generous that Kumoi Takashi did not kowtow to Byakuya today.
As Byakuya's "follower", Haruto's remarks just now will be seen more as Byakuya expressing dissatisfaction.
Moreover.
As the flames of the waste flame fell, the explosion that was exactly the same as the previous collision with the red fire cannon immediately occupied the center of the martial arts field.
"......"
Feeling the impact behind him, Kumoi Takashi fell silent for a moment.
The scale of the explosion was not exaggerated, but only a few people could see the doorway.
Using spiritual pressure that was far smaller than the scale of his ghost way to create exactly the same explosion traces was beyond Kumoi Takashi's understanding.
"Anti-ghost killing?"
"No, no, no..."
"It's definitely more than that. The explosion just now was purely caused by the waste flame... Is the waste flame a ghost way that can be used like this?"
His thoughts were a little confused.
Compared to what he heard from the servants, the "Haruto-kun" who had restarted the true sword test was far more powerful than any intelligence mentioned.
Kuchiki family...
It must be said that the Kuchiki family's ability to discover talents is indeed far better than that of the upper nobles or even other great nobles.
After Kuchiki Sojun was assisted by Kuchiki Hibiki, Kuchiki Byakuya also had a right-hand man with unlimited potential.
