"Wail, Forgetful Soul Bird!"
The Zanpakuto in Tsunayashiro Asaho's hand instantly became slender and sharp, piercing Aozaki Reiji's body like a large needle-like double-edged longsword from the side!
Pfft!
Crimson blood flowed from Reiji's chest, staining the pure white Kendo uniform.
Tsunayashiro Asaho distorted the hilt, laughing madly: "You lowly, damned fool, you think you can conquer me? Are you even worthy of conquering me?"
"You dare to stand before me without even using Shikai? Do you think I'd be afraid of you in the Human World?"
Shinigami above Vice-Captain-class must restrict 80% of their Spiritual Pressure when coming to the Human World.
This means that a Shinigami with Fifth-Grade Spiritual Power will drop to Sixth-Grade Spiritual Power, returning to Seated Officer-class, after arriving in the Human World.
If there were Noble Institute students participating, and the Seated Officer-class students attacked together, she was absolutely confident she could kill Aozaki Reiji before he released his restriction.
But after entering the Human World, only a group of Rukongai students followed her, and none of these Institute students reached Seated Officer-class, making the success rate of her plan too low.
This was the real reason she stopped the encirclement plan.
What gifts, what becoming a live-in son-in-law…
No matter how handsome this man was, he was nothing compared to the position of Family Head.
"I am the best to become the Family Head, uh…"
Watching the Aozaki Reiji in front of her transform into Sugishiro Tetsuya, and the sudden sharp pain in her chest, Tsunayashiro Asaho's wild laughter abruptly stopped.
She looked down at her chest; a pure white and beautiful longsword had pierced through her body.
"As expected of a madwoman from the Tsunayashiro Family. I didn't expect you to still have the courage to fight to the death even after seeing this scene."
Aozaki Reiji pulled out Shinra Bansho, which had pierced Tsunayashiro Asaho, and flicked the blood off the blade.
"However… when did you get the illusion that I hadn't used Shikai?"
Tsunayashiro Asaho let out a tragic wail, her shrill screams echoing throughout the dense forest.
What kind of ability was this?
Was he crazy?!
He actually dared to harm her, a member of the Four Great Noble Clans!
Was he tired of living?
This was seeking an endless vendetta with the Tsunayashiro Family. No matter who it was, they would face the Tsunayashiro Family's insane retaliation, and even the Central 46 would be shaken by it.
This was an insurmountable forbidden zone in Soul Society!
"You're too noisy."
Aozaki Reiji frowned and waved Shinra Bansho impatiently.
As he moved, Tsunayashiro Asaho's vision blurred, and a blood-stained arm fell.
Tsunayashiro Asaho grunted, her body twitching from the pain, but she didn't continue to scream.
She endured the pain, pushed away Sugishiro Tetsuya, who she had pierced, and her bloodshot eyes stared venomously at Reiji.
"Your Spiritual Pressure… you weren't restricted…"
Aozaki Reiji smiled, "Of course it was restricted, but I happened to break through to Fourth-Grade Spiritual Power a while ago."
"Then your Zanpakuto…"
Before Tsunayashiro Asaho could finish speaking, Reiji had already swung his longsword.
"Remember the Zanjutsu test? I used Shikai back then."
"The dog you raised said I was deliberately showing off in front of the teachers and students. Actually, I really wanted to tell you all something back then."
"You're right, this was deliberately shown to you, but it wasn't for free. The price is your lives!"
Reiji calmly gave his answer, but unfortunately, Tsunayashiro Asaho couldn't hear what he said.
Because as Reiji spoke, her head had already rolled to Reiji's feet.
Her face was filled with confusion, incomprehension, fear… all kinds of emotions, all proclaiming the same thing—she was dead.
Reiji narrowed his eyes, a teasing smile playing on his lips:
"Originally, I just wanted to eliminate you, an unstable factor, but I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."
"The power to 'sever' granted to the Zanpakuto is a very good ability, but it's a waste in your hands. I will use it well."
Reiji rummaged through the scattered clothes nearby and found the gift he had given, a "small card" with his name and job description on it.
"Are you satisfied with this grand gift? But I'm sorry…"
He looked down at her from above, his tone calm: "My services are selective."
"…"
The naked, scarred noble young master stared in horror at the Four Great Noble Clans member lying in a pool of blood, watching the blood continuously spread, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale.
"You… killed her…"
He only felt that everything before him was extremely unreal, as if he were dreaming.
How could there be such a person in this world?
"You… killed a member of the Four Great Noble Clans…"
He mumbled repeatedly, reaching out to touch his body soaked in blood, feeling the warm touch of the blood, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.
Reiji walked up to him, his gaze indifferent as he watched him.
He swung his sword, and the head separated from the body.
......
Soon after.
The bloodstains in the dense forest completely disappeared, as if they had never existed.
As the guard struck the White-Winged Hollow's face with a single slash, the White-Winged Hollow dissipated into spirit particles.
"Finally solved, this damned Hollow!"
"This terrifying strength is definitely not some small fry; it's probably comparable to a High-Ranking Seated Officer, right?"
"Why would there be such a terrifying guy in the Soul Reaping area?"
"Sir, thanks to you… Sir, what's wrong?"
"…"
The two guards were bruised and battered, standing before everyone with grim expressions.
On the ground,
Several pieces of clothing were scattered, but their owners were nowhere to be seen.
"How could this be? Where did Lady Asaho go?"
The Institute students, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned pale and became anxious again.
"That Hollow just now seemed to have run out from here."
"Shut up and go search! Even if you have to turn this place upside down, you must find Lady Asaho!"
The guard's expression changed, and a bad premonition immediately filled his heart as he roared loudly.
"If you don't find her, you'll all die!"
At this moment, their Spiritual Pressure burst forth without restraint, and they no longer had their previous joyful mood. Their sense of urgency was even greater than that of the Institute students.
If Tsunayashiro Asaho met with misfortune, they would surely die!
The Institute students' legs went weak, and they almost knelt on the ground.
Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku, not far away, also sensed these two Spiritual Pressures and suddenly looked up.
"Don't look. The Soul Burial Internship isn't over yet."
Reiji's voice came from behind the two, and he was holding three unconscious children.
Children in spiritual form.
"If you don't complete the internship, you'll have to stay at the Shin'o Academy for a year before you can reapply for graduation. Don't say I didn't warn you then."
A flicker of doubt flashed in their eyes, but both were smart enough not to ask.
Mainly, seeing how relaxed he looked, the situation shouldn't be too bad.
Matsumoto Rangiku asked with a smile: "Reiji, where did you kidnap these children from?"
Aozaki Reiji said exasperatedly: "I didn't kidnap them; I found them in a nearby town."
"That town isn't safe; Hollows often appear there, and these three kids aren't safe staying in town."
"So I just let them help us complete the Soul Burial Internship and send them to Soul Society…"
