With only one shoe, movement was inconvenient, so Soi Fon simply kicked off the other shoe as well.
"Heh, the stirrup sock design, your Stealth Force attire is a bit… unconventional." Tenya's expression was peculiar.
"You, what nonsense are you spouting?! The Stealth Force uniform was designed by the Shihouin clan. Besides, why are you staring at my feet?!" Soi Fon immediately became furious.
"Sorry, personal preference."
"Don't casually expose your preferences to others."
"It's fine, I don't care about other people's gazes."
"But I do!"
The two talked and fought, their relationship unknowingly growing a bit closer.
Due to underestimating her, Tenya was carelessly caught by Soi Fon, who firmly pinned him to the ground with a cross-arm lock.
"Hmph!"
"Can't move now, can you?"
Soi Fon grabbed one wrist and one arm, while her legs, like scissors, tightly clamped Tenya's neck.
"Heh heh. That's not necessarily true."
Tenya looked calm, exerting force in his arms and waist.
Purely from a technique standpoint, once a cross-arm lock is formed, it should be impossible to escape.
But as the saying goes, 'one force can overcome ten techniques'. As long as one's physical strength is great enough, one can still counterattack.
"You won't escape!"
Soi Fon poured all her strength into it. In her Shunko state, her strength could even surpass Sajin, who was known for his strength among the Gotei 13.
Especially under the suppression of a cross-arm lock, for the opponent to break free, they would need to exert ten times or more the strength to even attempt a counterattack.
"Who said I was going to escape?" Tenya smiled calmly.
He forcibly twisted his arm, accompanied by a chilling "crack" sound, as his arm joint dislocated.
"Oh no!"
Soi Fon's face changed drastically, the cross-arm lock was now ineffective.
She was about to get up and shift her position, but Tenya's movements were faster than hers.
Whoosh!
He arched his waist, his body suddenly springing up, then flipping over and pressing down, in turn pinning Soi Fon firmly to the ground.
"You really are a crazy guy. It's just a spar, do you need to break your own arm for it?"
Soi Fon's gaze fell on Tenya's unnaturally twisted right arm, and she couldn't help but inwardly marvel at his decisiveness.
"Being able to pin Soi Fon-chan down like this, this bit of pain is well worth it."
Tenya was currently straddling her waist, one hand gripping her arm, making her unable to move.
"Don't say such strange, suggestive things."
Soi Fon's eyes flickered, as she planned to imitate Tenya's move, escaping the restraint by dislocating her own hand joint.
"You can't do that, you know. I won't allow you to harm your body."
Tenya saw through her thoughts. His palm was simultaneously imbued with Armament Haki, Nine-Tails' Chakra, and Senjutsu Chakra. An overwhelming force extended from his arm to Soi Fon's entire body, rendering her completely unable to move.
"Is this what it means that in the face of absolute strength, any technique is meaningless?"
"I lost…"
Soi Fon sighed, acknowledging her defeat with full conviction.
"That was an enjoyable battle."
Tenya withdrew his power upon seeing this.
"....."
"Um, could you please get off me first?"
Soi Fon was silent for a moment, then urged him.
"Huh? My apologies, it was just too comfortable." Tenya smiled as he got up.
You know, while Soi Fon's figure was petite and delicate, her backside was surprisingly well-rounded.
"Treating someone like a cushion..."
"You really are a man with a twisted sense of humor."
Soi Fon clutched her backside, glaring at him with a look of shy anger.
"Since it's a sparring match, a certain degree of physical contact is quite normal, isn't it?" Tenya said innocently.
"You did that on purpose." Soi Fon rolled her eyes at him in mock anger.
She thought, 'Being able to spar with a master like him was beneficial, so being taken advantage of could be considered payment for his guidance.'
"Soi Fon, do you still want to become stronger?"
"Of course."
"Then, you must have heard rumors about me, haven't you?"
"....."
Soi Fon's eyes flickered. She, of course, knew what he wanted to say.
Rukia, and more recently, Rangiku and Momo, had all seen their strength improve by leaps and bounds. All of this came from the man before her.
Power!
But gaining power came at a cost.
Soi Fon hesitated. The image of Yoruichi flashed in her mind. She had watched helplessly as the other party defected, powerless to do anything.
"Soi Fon, you also have someone you want to pursue, don't you? Even if you have to break her limbs, you want to bring her back to Soul Society?" Tenya coaxed her patiently.
"That's possible?"
Soi Fon's expression froze, as if a new idea had just opened up to her.
"Indeed. All principles must be built upon strength."
Tenya stepped forward, reaching out to gently caress Soi Fon's cheek.
"...."
Soi Fon stared blankly at the man before her.
If it was him, she didn't seem to mind it so much?
"Now then."
"Choose, Soi Fon."
"Whether to grasp the future is all up to your single thought."
Tenya placed his hand on Soi Fon's head and gently pressed down.
...
Walking out of the Second Division barracks, Tenya felt refreshed and invigorated about his future.
He stayed in Seireitei for several more days, thoroughly enjoying the enthusiastic hospitality of the female Shinigami.
Returning to the Takanashi residence in Rukongai.
"Are you leaving already?" Rikka's expression showed her reluctance.
"Go! If he doesn't leave, he will really move in." Rukia glared at Tenya in annoyance.
"It's not that bad. After all, in the Living World, there are many people waiting for me to return." Tenya said with a nostalgic expression.
"I can't believe it, do you only have women in your eyes?" Rukia rolled her eyes, too weary to complain.
"Beautiful women." Tenya clarified.
Kamui.
Leaving Soul Society, returning to the Living World.
The pleasant summer vacation ended here.
The new semester at Sobu High School began.
"Outstanding Student Representative?"
"Me?" Tenya looked surprised.
Yuki said, "Yes. Tenya-kun's academic performance is first in his grade, and his image is excellent in all aspects, making him very suitable to be Sobu High School's outstanding student representative to welcome new students."
Yuki was the Student Council's Public Relations Officer.
Alisa expressed great concern.
"There's theoretically no problem with him being the outstanding student representative."
"However..."
"Я чувствую, что юниоры будут в опасности!" (I feel like the juniors will be in danger!)
"Tenya-kun, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Maria said this, but her eyes were full of doubt.
"Alisa and Maria-senpai, your worries are unnecessary. I'm not that kind of casual man." Tenya said with a serious expression.
"Wow. That senpai is so handsome!"
"Should we go ask for his contact information?"
"Eh! Wouldn't that be too direct?"
"Be bold, we must seize his future."
Several first-year junior students, new to the school, actively approached, wanting to ask for Tenya's contact information.
"I refuse. New students should focus on their studies and strive for progress every day. Don't keep thinking about these trivial things." Tenya resolutely rejected the requests of the new junior students.
It was mainly because none of these people had treasure chests on them.
"Unexpected. I thought Tenya-kun would accept anyone who came to him." Yuki's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Hmm. You pass." Alisa whispered softly.
[Ding!]
[Discovered a treasure chest holder...]
The system's prompt made Tenya's eyes light up, and he scanned left and right, searching for the target. He saw a girl with short brown hair, delicate features, long eyelashes, and a playful charm.
