"MEOW!!!"
Inside the Urahara Shop, the black cat perched on the shelves suddenly bristled, its fur standing on end as it felt the spiritual pressure with grief and indignation.
"Meow meow meow!!! Meow meow meow!!"
"Huh!?"
Tessai Tsukabishi, who was moving goods in the shop, paused for a moment.
"This spiritual pressure... why does it seem so familiar?" Kisuke Urahara sensed the spiritual pressure with confusion, feeling like he had encountered it somewhere before.
...
Ye Yun's eyes opened.
A smile touched the corners of his lips as he eagerly began to try out his other abilities, such as Spiritual Pressure Burst.
With an imperceptible "boom," the violent spiritual power within Ye Yun's body was released in an instant, nearly forming blue flames that burned fiercely in the air.
Although his classmates couldn't see it, they could all feel the pressure. One by one, they found it hard to breathe.
Orihime Inoue: "My chest feels so tight..."
Tatsuki Arisawa: "It's because your chest is too big, right? But why do I also feel so constricted? I can barely breathe..."
Keigo Asano: "My head is a little dizzy too. Why does my body feel so heavy..."
Ichigo Kurosaki was dumbfounded. Only he could see the violent spiritual pressure emanating from Ye Yun, as if blue flames were burning in the classroom.
Making a "shushing" gesture at him, Ye Yun retracted the tyrannical spiritual pressure and then tried the Soul Control ability.
With a single thought, he was surprised to find his soul had actually left his body, entering the Shinigami state, clad in a Shihakushō.
He turned his head to look. Sure enough, his physical body was lying unconscious on the desk.
"My soul separated from my body just like that!?"
Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. In the original story, Ichigo Kurosaki had to go through countless trials and tribulations just to separate his soul in the early stages.
But for him, it only took a single thought.
Thinking of this, Ye Yun licked his lips, placed his right hand over his heart, and prepared to draw out his eighty-meter-long sword for a look.
Ichigo couldn't hold back any longer and began to cough forcefully. "Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough cough..."
Ye Yun looked over speechlessly. "Are you dying?"
Ichigo was nearly angered to death. Aren't I just worried you'll pull out that sword and slice the school building in half?
But with his interruption, Ye Yun gave up on trying to draw his Zanpakutō. Instead, he tried to actively absorb the spiritual energy from the surrounding world.
It had to be said, absorbing spiritual power in a Shinigami state was far faster than as a human. Normally, he could only gain two hundred points a day, but in his Shinigami state, he felt he could get at least three hundred.
At that moment, a black-haired girl walked into the classroom. She was gentle and refined, greeting her classmates with a polite smile.
"Hello..."
"Hello, I'm the new transfer student..."
"Hello..."
In the midst of her greetings, the black-haired girl's eyes suddenly went wide. She stared, dumbfounded, at the Shinigami youth sitting on the windowsill.
Ye Yun also noticed Rukia Kuchiki and greeted her with a smile, "Yo, Rukia, good morning!"
"Good morning, my foot..." Rukia snapped back to reality and rushed towards Ye Yun, grabbing his Shihakushō to inspect it. "It really is a Shihakushō, but how did your soul leave your body? You're just a human, it's impossible for you to do it on your own..."
"COUGH COUGH!!!"
Ichigo coughed loudly, forcefully interrupting the conversation between the two.
"What is it!?" Rukia shot him a dark look.
Ichigo quietly pointed at their dumbfounded classmates.
Only then did it dawn on Rukia.
Ye Yun was currently in his Shinigami form, so the students in the class couldn't see him. But she was in a Gigai, which meant she was visible to everyone.
In other words, in the eyes of her classmates, her grabbing at Ye Yun looked like she was flipping out all by herself.
Realizing this, Rukia's face instantly turned bright red. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
Humiliating. It was too humiliating. For a Shinigami who had lived for hundreds of years, she hadn't even realized something so basic.
"Rukia..."
"Shut up!" Rukia said through gritted teeth, showing Ye Yun a few words written on her palm:
(Follow me obediently, or I'll kill you!)
"..."
Tatsuki Arisawa watched the three of them leave with a puzzled expression. "Didn't they say the transfer student just came to Karakura Town today? How does it seem like she already knows Ye Yun and Ichigo?"
Keigo Asano ran over excitedly. "Could it be that Ye Yun dumped Miss Kuchiki in the past, so she came here specifically to find him..."
"It couldn't be like that." Orihime Inoue interrupted Keigo, her face blushing. "I believe Ye Yun-kun isn't that kind of person."
"Why?" Keigo was a bit puzzled.
Orihime lowered her head and said shyly, "Ye Yun-kun is a very good person, gentle and kind. He wouldn't abandon anyone..."
She remembered the time after her brother passed away when she was crying her heart out in the rain. She had been exceptionally helpless then, but Ye Yun had come to help her, ignoring the downpour and working until the next morning before he left. She heard he caught a severe cold the next day and had a high fever for days, unable to get out of bed. And in the years that followed, Ye Yun would come to help her, a girl living alone, every now and then, under the guise of "helping a cute girl."
The more she recalled the past, the redder Orihime's face became.
Keigo tearfully left this heartbreaking scene.
Tatsuki, however, couldn't help but say, "Orihime, don't tell me you've fallen for that womanizer, Ye Yun?"
Orihime looked at her best friend with a blush.
Her best friend said fiercely, "Don't be fooled by that womanizing radish! He's that nice to every pretty girl."
She also thought back to things in the past, or rather, things that were still ongoing. When she was learning karate and sparring with people, she would always accidentally hurt them because she was too strong. Over time, no one was willing to spar with her anymore. Just as she was feeling down and upset about it, Ye Yun had run over with a bright smile and said, "Tatsuki, I'll train with you!"
From then on, Ye Yun became her exclusive training partner, and the two practiced karate together. But during their training, some physical contact was inevitable. Gradually, Ye Yun would pat her hair or pinch her cheek...
Snapping out of her scattered thoughts, Tatsuki Arisawa said with a flushed face, "Anyway, Orihime, Ye Yun is a big bad guy. He likes every pretty girl he sees. You should stay far away from him in the future."
Orihime looked at Tatsuki with an innocent and dazed expression. It was the first time she had ever seen her best friend blush.
A thought suddenly popped into her head, and she said blankly, "Could it be... Tatsuki, that you like Ye Yun-kun too?"
Boom!
Tatsuki's face instantly turned beet red. She said, flustered, "How could I possibly like that womanizer? I absolutely don't like him! He only likes those well-endowed, big-chested women!"
