That night.
Inside the Second Division barracks, lights blazed brightly.
In the center of the luxurious hall stood several masked Onmitsukido members, all looking with respect at the petite figure seated at the head of the hall.
It was a young girl with short, straight-cut bangs, leaning back on a long chair, but despite her small stature, everyone in the barracks looked at her with profound awe.
"Commander, the Twelfth Division's analysis results are out," a masked Onmitsukido member at the bottom of the hall said respectfully.
"It's consistent with our predictions; the Reishi residue at the scene matches Supervisor 147.
According to the Twelfth Division's analysis of the battlefield, a total of sixteen people fought with Supervisor 147, fifteen of whom died, and one escaped."
The masked Onmitsukido member paused, looking at the Twelfth Division's analysis report in his hand, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, then hesitated before continuing, "The Twelfth Division, through analysis of the battlefield traces and residual spiritual pressure, concluded… that the fifteen deceased all possessed Low Level Seated Officer spiritual pressure intensity, while the one who escaped possessed strength equivalent to a High Level Seated Officer."
"In other words, you categorized someone with at least 'High Level Seated Officer' strength into a three-digit supervisory sequence?" The girl, referred to as Commander, slowly opened her eyes, her already extremely cold face becoming even more frigid.
"This…"
Under her icy gaze, the masked Onmitsukido member responsible for the report felt cold sweat instantly soak his back, and he hastily explained, "There are two reasons for Supervisor 147's low supervisory priority: first, because the Supervisor is not a Shinigami; second, because the Supervisor has shown no unstable tendencies under supervision."
"Is that so?"
The girl on the reclining chair slowly sat up, a document appearing in her hand at some point.
"Frequent contact with Shin'ō Academy students; all customers in the tavern are villains from low-numbered areas; proficient in Kido, Hakuda, Shunpo, and other Shinigami-exclusive techniques; even without considering his strength, based solely on his behavior, his supervision level should be categorized into two digits."
"If combined with the Supervisor's strength, his supervisory priority would not be excessive even if it were a single digit." As she spoke, the girl casually tossed the document in her hand, and it landed precisely at the feet of the masked Onmitsukido members.
Clap!
The crisp sound of the document hitting the floor made several people shiver involuntarily.
"Tell me, who set his supervision level?"
"…"
The Onmitsukido members simultaneously remained silent, but their gazes subtly flickered towards one side of the barracks.
In the direction they looked, Ōmaeda Marechiyo's expression was very calm, as he casually grabbed a large handful of snacks from a bag in his arms, slowly closed his hand, and, accompanied by a 'crunch, crunch' sound, stuffed them into his mouth, chewing while looking at the others with a composed gaze.
The next second, the Onmitsukido members, as if on cue, replied in unison, "Commander, we decided it after discussion!"
"Captain Soi Fon, it's not really their fault."
Ōmaeda immediately interjected, "I also saw that kid.
Although, because of their judgment, I only took a quick glance from afar and didn't observe him carefully, even I didn't immediately notice any signs of him suppressing his spiritual pressure, so it's normal for them to misjudge."
Soi Fon heard this, glanced at Ōmaeda Marechiyo, then looked at the Onmitsukido members and said, "You may leave.
Upon your return, inform the Supervisory Team to raise his supervisory priority to 11 and change the supervision method to spiritual power tracking, avoiding contact with the target.
I shouldn't need to explain the specific operational methods one by one, should I?"
"Yes!!"
Upon hearing this, the Onmitsukido members immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hastily exited the barracks.
"Captain Soi Fon, that kid is really strange."
Seeing them leave, Ōmaeda Marechiyo hastily said, "Ever since the large-scale Reishi fluctuation was discovered outside the West 38th District a few days ago, I've been personally monitoring that kid.
I found that he is not only proficient in Kido but also extremely proficient in Kaido.
Recently, even a Seated Officer from the Fourth Division has been going to him to learn Kaido."
"A Fourth Division Seated Officer?"
Soi Fon frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely.
I personally saw that kid from the Fourth Division following him, treating people all over Rukongai."
Ōmaeda stuffed a handful of snacks into his mouth and said proudly, "I even specifically intercepted a subordinate who was supposed to be sent to the Fourth Division halfway and sent someone to the Everything Store.
According to the person's description, the treatment effect was better than the Fourth Division's."
Upon hearing this, even Soi Fon couldn't help but look at Ōmaeda with a strange expression.
Someone who was seriously injured and being sent to a hospital was suddenly intercepted halfway by his direct superior and then forcibly sent to an unheard-of black clinic… Wasn't this guy afraid of being complained about by his subordinates?
Soi Fon did not pursue this point further, pondering for a moment before asking, "Did he learn his Kido from Shiba Kūkaku?"
"That has been confirmed; Shiba Kūkaku herself admitted it."
Upon hearing the name 'Shiba Kūkaku', a cold glint flashed in Soi Fon's eyes, and she coldly snorted, "As long as he doesn't show any signs of instability, continue to supervise him this way."
"But tomorrow, you should tell the Fourth Division Vice-Captain about this.
Whether or not to stop it is their business."
"Oh, I understand." Ōmaeda Marechiyo stroked his chin, "Then tomorrow I'll invite all the Vice-Captains to dinner at a restaurant in Nobility Street."
"As you wish."
Soi Fon stood up and walked out, but after a few steps, she stopped again, "Oh, by the way, as punishment for your negligence, your vacation this year has been canceled." With that, her figure flickered and she disappeared from the spot.
"Huh? Wait!!"
Ōmaeda was stunned for a moment, then hastily rushed out of the barracks and shouted into the empty courtyard:
"Captain Soi Fon… can it be changed to a fine?"
…
The next morning.
In the Everything Store's treatment room on the second floor, Ishikawa Katori extended his right hand, the spiritual pressure fluctuations on his hand constantly changing, and slowly said, "When performing Kaido, it's not simply a matter of releasing spiritual pressure.
During the release process, you need to constantly change the nature of the spiritual power within the Kaido."
"Under the same spiritual pressure intensity, the reason my treatment effect is better than yours is precisely because of this, and this is also your biggest problem."
As Ishikawa Katori spoke, he wrote down the knowledge in his mind on the blackboard behind him, while Yamada Hanatarō, the only student below the stage, took notes with a serious expression.
In a blink of an eye, three days had passed since he arrived here.
During these three days, he did not miss a single day, almost always scheduling a time to come here to study in advance.
Hanatarō looked at Ishikawa Katori on the stage, his eyes filled with respect.
The longer he studied with the other party, the more he felt the other party's strength in Kaido; the other party's talent in Kaido was in no way inferior to his brother's.
That is, the former Fourth Division Vice-Captain, now the General Representative of Shin'ō Academy, Yamada Seinosuke.
