"11th-grade Spiritual Power...?" Katori Sora thought about the scene he had just witnessed.
During this time, he had been focusing on developing his Shikai abilities and had already discovered many ways to use them.
The single black eye left in the shadows of the ruins was one such ability. As long as he left his Spiritual Pressure in a shadow, it could serve as a monitoring point for him until the energy dissipated.
Sora felt that the "bait" in Karakura Town might not have been released by the Quincy.
Therefore, before leaving, he had left some monitoring points to see if the real mastermind would come to check on the results. As it turned out, his stakeout was successful.
The cloaks these three wore had the function of concealing their forms and hiding their spiritual fluctuations. If they hadn't revealed themselves while collecting residual Spiritual Pressure, his monitoring points probably wouldn't have been able to find them.
Sora was now certain that this group was targeting him. The residual energy they were collecting was his!
And from their conversation, this was not the first time.
"11th-grade... that corresponds to a panel level of 50-54. That was before the autumn exam?" Sora carefully recalled his past actions.
Although it's said that if a Shinigami doesn't intentionally suppress their spiritual pressure, a trace of it will leak out even in a non-combat state, the spiritual pressure collected in this situation is too weak to measure specific strength. Therefore, in order to test his strength, these people must have collected his spiritual pressure from a place where he had fought.
He ruled out the academy. The Katori Dojo could also be ruled out; if they had dared to collect his energy there, Batsunsai would have cut them down long ago.
"The back mountain?" Sora suddenly remembered the time he had slain a Hollow in the forest. If it was that time, it would match their test results.
"It seems my encounter with the Hollow in the back mountain was no accident either..." Sora felt it was necessary to mention this to Batsunsai.
He wanted her to help him check the mission records to see what the result of that incident was.
That day after he encountered the Hollow, he had reported it to Squad 10 and asked them to investigate if there were any remaining spatial fissures.
He didn't have the authority to investigate Squad 10's mission records, but as a veteran captain, Batsunsai should have a way.
A week later, Sora received news that all the students who participated in the exam had passed.
Yoruichi's team, for discovering and thwarting the "Quincy's plot," received an excellent evaluation.
Sora felt an invisible hand was pushing this matter, pinning the blame for the "bait" on the Quincy.
His suspicion was confirmed because Batsunsai had just told him that the Squad 10 records room had recently had a fire, and many documents had been burned, including the mission record he wanted to see.
Both he and Batsunsai now suspected Shin Kasumiōji. This series of events had only started after he had failed to acquire the dojo.
Before that, Sora hadn't offended anyone. Batsunsai's health was a known issue; everyone knew she didn't have much time left.
If Sora were to die in Karakura Town, it wouldn't be long before Shin Kasumiōji could take the dojo.
"He wants me dead just for this piece of land?!" Sora was filled with rage.
"It's not just the dojo... the back mountain forest is also ours, we just haven't been managing it," Batsunsai was also furious. "I'm going to go and cut him down right now!"
"We have no evidence. If you do that, the Kasumiōji family will definitely retaliate, and we could be executed by Central 46!" Sora said calmly.
"I don't have long to live anyway. I'll just kill everyone in the Kasumiōji family and take the blame myself. No one will trouble you for a bunch of dead people!" Batsunsai would not allow anyone to touch her bottom line.
Sora was her only brother and successor.
"Give me some time. Trust me, I will find a better way to handle this," Sora said gently.
Batsunsai stared into his eyes and, as if moved by the determination within them, calmed down. "If you can't solve it, don't try to bear it alone. I'm still here."
"Don't worry. You just focus on your recovery. There's a long life ahead of you."
Sora left the courtyard and returned to his room, his attention focused on the notifications on his panel.
There were several uncollected rewards.
[Disciple Yoruichi Shihōin has learned the sword technique "Four-Directional Shungeki."]
[Guide Yoruichi Shihōin to complete a sword technique training (Completed).]
