"That damn bastard, how did his spiritual power go up again?"
On the roof of a certain building, a red-haired boy carrying a giant baseball bat gritted his teeth as he watched the retreating figures of Ye Yun and Ichigo Kurosaki.
"Is this guy really human? Even for Captain Kurosaki's son, this is too outrageous, isn't it?"
Beside the red-haired boy, a delicate-looking girl with black hair, carrying a heavy Gatling gun, weakly reminded him:
"Um, Jinta, the boy you're pointing at isn't Captain Kurosaki's son."
"Huh?"
Jinta Hanakari's eyes widened. He pointed at Ye Yun's back and asked in disbelief:
"You're saying that bastard isn't Captain Kurosaki's son?"
Ururu Tsumugiya nodded and pointed weakly at Ichigo Kurosaki.
"That one is Captain Kurosaki's son."
Jinta was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the backs of Ichigo and Ye Yun.
But no matter how he looked at it, Ye Yun's spiritual power was stronger, almost several hundred times that of Ichigo's, burning like a blue flame.
It took him several seconds to react. He glared viciously at Ye Yun's back.
"Then who is this black-haired bastard!?"
Ururu thought for a moment.
"A passerby!?"
Jinta couldn't help but tighten his grip on his baseball bat, gritting his teeth.
"I really want to beat the hell out of him."
He thought back on the years of blood and tears. He'd often be sleeping soundly, only to be suddenly woken up by Kisuke Urahara and sent out to rescue people.
Sometimes he had to go out more than once a day, messing up his endocrine system.
And now he was being told that the black-haired boy wasn't Captain Kurosaki's son, but the orange-haired one next to him was.
What kind of joke was this!!!
Since when did ordinary humans possess this level of spiritual power?
"..."
Karakura First High School, Class 1-3.
When Ye Yun and Ichigo Kurosaki walked into the classroom, they immediately attracted the attention of many classmates.
Tatsuki Arisawa couldn't help but say, "Ye Yun, Ichigo, did you guys go pick a fight with the mafia before school? Why do you look so pathetic?"
Ye Yun and Ichigo looked at each other, noticing that their clothes were covered in either dirt or holes.
Keigo Asano said in surprise, "Seriously, do you guys get into a fight with the mafia every day on your way here?"
Mizuiro Kojima added, "You really do look rough. Your clothes are torn in many places, like you were just being chased."
Ichigo's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.
Ye Yun sat back down in his seat and said lazily, "I've told you all, we fight a few monsters on our way to school every day to maintain the safety of Karakura Town."
"There he goes again, with Ye Yun's monster theory..." The students in the class couldn't help but shake their heads speechlessly.
How could they possibly believe there were any monsters in Karakura Town?
Keigo Asano ran over excitedly and asked, "Ye Yun, Ichigo, tell me, did you run off with a mafia boss's daughter? Is that why they're so relentless in chasing you two?"
"What mafia in Karakura Town would dare to mess with us?"
Ye Yun looked at Keigo speechlessly.
He had raised his strength to over four thousand points, equivalent to the strength of four hundred men.
Although he was still a bit weak compared to a large Hollow, that was in comparison to a Hollow. To humans, he was a bona fide superman.
"That's not necessarily true..." Keigo shook his head. "What if it's not the mafia, but the daughter of some politician, or a high-ranking official's daughter..."
"Take your 'daughter' and get lost."
Ye Yun speechlessly shooed the gossip-monger away.
At this moment, the burly, brown-skinned Sado Yasutora (Chad) walked over and asked in a deep voice:
"Ye Yun, Ichigo, need help?"
Ye Yun and Ichigo quickly shook their heads, declining Chad's kind offer.
Even they couldn't handle those monsters. Adding Chad to the mix would be futile and might even make things more dangerous.
After sending everyone away, Ye Yun and Ichigo began to tidy up their clothes.
Orihime Inoue saw this and, after a moment's hesitation, ran over with a blush, handing a set of fragrant clothes to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun-kun, these are the clothes you asked me to mend last time. I've finished them, and you can change into them now."
Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the clothes.
"Thank you, Inoue-san. If I wore this outfit to class, Misato Ochi would definitely scold me."
Ichigo looked at this traitor with indignation, then turned to Orihime with some curiosity.
"Inoue, when did Ye Yun ask you to mend them?"
Orihime's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and whispered, "It was last time, when Ye Yun-kun came to my house to help..."
Ye Yun chimed in while taking off his shirt, "Inoue's brother's shrine was broken, so I went over and made a new one for her."
Ichigo understood immediately; he also knew of Orihime's deceased brother.
As if remembering something, Ye Yun looked at Orihime and asked, "By the way, Inoue-san, do you still offer prayers to your brother every day?"
Blushing as she looked at Ye Yun's bare torso, Orihime nodded and said softly:
"I pray every day. Because you said, Ye Yun-kun, that since my brother loves me so much, he would definitely stay by my side to protect me silently, and I can't let him be so lonely..."
Ye Yun nodded slightly.
With Orihime's prayers, plus his own warning to her brother's spirit, he shouldn't fall and become a Hollow like in the original story.
Once Ichigo or he himself became a Shinigami, they could send him to the Soul Society.
"Wait, Ye Yun, what are you doing?" Tatsuki Arisawa suddenly shouted.
Her face was bright red as she stared at Ye Yun.
Seeing his bare upper body made her face flush even more. She quickly jogged over and pulled Orihime back.
"Ye Yun, why are you taking your clothes off in the classroom? You're making Inoue-san shy, you know?"
Orihime was indeed very shy, and she quickly grabbed Tatsuki's hand, saying it was okay.
At the same time, she was blushing while secretly peeking at Ye Yun's upper body.
Ye Yun-kun... has such a nice body...
"..."
Soon, it was time for school to end.
As Ye Yun and Ichigo were walking down the street, they suddenly heard the roar of a monster.
Cold sweat dripped down Ichigo's forehead as he whipped his head towards a tall building in the distance. Sure enough, he saw a large Hollow rampaging there.
Ye Yun saw it too, but his focus wasn't on the Hollow, but on the Shinigami girl on the telephone pole.
"A Shihakushō... Rukia Kuchiki!"
