"You're looking for death!"
"Go to hell!!"
"…"
Several angry roars sounded simultaneously, as the prisoners furiously leaped at Aozaki Reiji, each attacking with their fists and feet.
In the blink of an eye, Aozaki Reiji had vanished from a distance, appearing before them like a ghost.
"Ikkotsu!"
Aozaki Reiji grinned, dopamine stimulating his brain.
Excitement and madness filled his face, appearing no different from a demon in the eyes of the frenzied prisoners, making them break out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Reiji had an urge to shout: "Retsu Unohana, you were right, I just love to fight!"
Boom!
Thick, sturdy walls were smashed by two prisoners, leaving huge craters and raising vast clouds of dust.
Whoosh!
Just then, a sharp, incomparable sonic boom suddenly ripped through the air, exploding in their ears.
Tsk!
The figures of two prisoners appeared beside Aozaki Reiji; several weaker prisoners were sent flying by their impact, as their fists and hand-blades fiercely attacked him.
Their attacks landed!!
However, an incredible scene unfolded—
With two loud "booms," spiritual particles spread like a wave of air; a powerful punch and hand-blade landed on Reiji's chest and neck, actually forcing him to retreat several steps.
The pupils of the two prisoners constricted; they clearly saw that Aozaki Reiji was completely unharmed, not a single mark left on him.
"You monster!"
Someone exclaimed, as Aozaki Reiji's figure had already vanished from their sight.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed as a heavy fist slammed into the abdomen of the prisoner who had thrown the hand-blade.
It made him involuntarily bend over, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets, his mouth agape.
A large hand grabbed his black hair, smashing his head into the ground.
A cold and bloodthirsty face appeared in the other person's vision.
"You two are too weak. Why don't the others come together?"
Aozaki Reiji swiftly extended his hand, grabbing his neck and lifting him, sneering:
"Are you dangerous individuals afraid of me?"
"You'll die here!"
Intense pain shot from his neck, but the helpless sense of suffocation ignited a savage ferocity in the prisoner, his bloodshot eyes glinting with ruthless malice.
The vicious prisoners seemed to feel insulted, their eyes glinting with malevolence as they roared and charged at Aozaki Reiji.
Unexpectedly, a mocking sneer appeared on Aozaki Reiji's lips; as he swung the prisoner forward, the prisoner was flung from his hand, crashing directly into the oncoming prisoners.
Bang!
Large clouds of dust were stirred up by the airwave, and rows of prisoners were sent flying like bowling pins.
Aozaki Reiji's movements showed no hesitation; he turned like an arrow released from a bowstring and charged backward, his small fists containing an irresistible immense force, powerfully slamming into the prisoners.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
The prisoners were struck hard, screaming repeatedly, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood from their wide-open mouths, their eyes losing their light as they were sent flying.
"Damn it!!! We are the dangerous ones who make Central 46 tremble in fear!!"
The frenzied roars of the prisoners echoed through the dungeon, as if giving themselves courage to face the demon.
But Aozaki Reiji's eyes were wild, shaking off the bloodstains on his hands, his eyes suddenly glinting with ferocity, the crimson blood making him look even more hideous.
"Sokotsu!" accompanied by Aozaki Reiji's furious roar.
Boom!
A desperate, impactful force wildly unleashed itself upon the prisoners; one person was wounded first, dragging several people behind him to be knocked away together.
For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, a bloody mist permeated the entire dungeon, and the ground and walls suddenly cracked, becoming pitted and uneven.
Overwhelming disparity... Aozaki Reiji's close-quarters combat ability was despairingly powerful below the Captain-class.
But the prisoners ignored these things; they had completely fallen into madness, casting fear aside, and still charged at Aozaki Reiji with smiles upon seeing this scene.
...…
"Lord Aozaki is truly amazing, he hasn't come out for so long!"
"Naturally, the first time Lord Aozaki went in, when he came out, those prisoners were all lying on the ground. This time will be no exception."
The Squad members stood outside discussing.
Ichimaru Gin walked to the dungeon entrance, having a guess in his heart, but still asked:
"Where is Lord Kaiba?"
The Squad members bowed, and the guard at the gate replied: "Lord Kaiba is currently inspecting the dungeon."
Ichimaru Gin's gaze fell on the large door, and he sighed inwardly, but did not show it.
He knew that Aozaki Reiji had once again become engrossed in his training.
Yoruichi Shihōin appeared behind him, watching quietly for a moment, her voice sounding somewhat serious: "He went in alone? No other Squad members followed him?"
"Yes. Lord Aozaki turned off the video bugs and strictly ordered us not to enter without permission," the Squad member stood straight, respectfully answering: "Lord Aozaki never likes to be disturbed when he inspects the dungeon."
Ichimaru Gin smiled faintly: "Captain, there's no need to worry. Lord Kaiba will be fine. This is just routine training."
"Regarding his strength, besides Captain-Commander, no one probably knows him better than I do," Yoruichi Shihōin said indifferently: "Of course I trust him. No one in this prison can harm him, but now is not the time for training."
"…" Ichimaru Gin was astonished. What could be so urgent that the usually lazy Yoruichi Shihōin would say such a thing? Had someone attacked the Second Division, or had Seireitei been invaded?
But his status was, after all, that of the Ninth Seat, so he was not qualified to question Yoruichi, and remained silent.
Yoruichi Shihōin said lazily: "It's nothing confidential."
Ichimaru Gin said: "So what happened?"
Yoruichi Shihōin leaned lazily against the wall: "The Shin'o Academy was attacked by rebels. Marechiyo has already rushed over with the Patrol Squad and the Punishment Force."
"Those people from Central 46 always make a mountain out of a molehill. It's just a mere rebel force, yet they specifically ordered us to rush over."
The surrounding Squad members subconsciously turned their heads, pretending they hadn't heard anything.
Yoruichi Shihōin dared to say such mocking words about Central 46, but they might not dare to listen.
Ichimaru Gin frowned.
This explained it: the Shin'o Academy was attacked, and they, the Second Division, were ordered to provide support.
With the order from Central 46, Aozaki Reiji, as a high-ranking Seat, should rightfully be present. Yoruichi probably also intended for him to gain merit.
Yoruichi Shihōin straightened up and commanded:
"Ichimaru, Ninth Seat, you will temporarily manage the Inspection Team. Leave enough personnel to guard the Maggot's Nest and the Squad Barracks, and lead the rest to the Shin'o Academy until Aozaki, Third Seat, arrives to relieve you. I will go ahead."
"Yes."
Ichimaru Gin said seriously, then turned to the gate guards:
"When Lord Kaiba comes out, tell him that the Shin'o Academy was attacked by rebels, and the Second Division has dispatched reinforcements."
"I will lead the Squad ahead and wait for him there."
