The Nōreidan that Tenjirō Kirinji modified was effective! Katori Sora let out a sigh of relief. Batsunsai's Spiritual Pressure had stabilized.
"Boy, who did you learn Kaidō from? That 'Nōreidan' idea is simply brilliant!" Kirinji exclaimed.
"I learned from Captain Unohana," Sora replied.
"I only taught him the basics. Katori-kun's current level is all due to his own hard work," Unohana said with a smile.
"Is that so? Unohana, you've improved. To be able to teach such a disciple," Kirinji said, a little surprised but finding it logical. "Then you and I have a connection of sorts, hahaha!" Kirinji was Unohana's Kaidō Professor, so he and Sora were of the same lineage.
Sora glanced at Unohana and sensed a terrifying killing intent hidden beneath her gentle smile.
Kirinji put an arm around Sora's shoulder. "Boy, Senjumaru has already connected the 'Modified Nōreidan' to Batsunsai's Saketsu and Hakusui points."
"It's now acting as a substitute for her Spiritual Core, allowing her spiritual body to hold Spiritual Pressure again."
"And I've adjusted its release frequency to be just enough for her body's daily consumption. The stored energy can sustain her for several months."
"But it is not a Spiritual Core. Her body can no longer produce its own Spiritual Pressure. Every three months, you will have to replenish the 'Modified Nōreidan' for her."
Sora nodded. "Will I need to use the 'Spiritual Pressure Booster' when I replenish it for her?"
"No need to be so troublesome—" Kirinji wagged his finger. "I had you use it just now to save time. In the future, you can take your time replenishing it."
"Still, I'll give you the formula for the booster. After all, I learned how to make the 'Nōreidan' from you, haha!" Kirinji took out a piece of paper and wrote down the formula.
"Thank you very much," Sora said, taking it. "Lord Kirinji, Lord Shutara, thank you for saving Batsunsai!"
"Boy, this is just a temporary solution. She can no longer fight like this. Study Kaidō diligently and find another way to repair her Spiritual Core!" Kirinji encouraged him.
With his heart a little more at ease, Sora finally had time to think about other things. He remembered the sealed memories and Tenzui Shinkotsu. He took out the divine weapon and asked Shutara, "This sword... was it you who placed it by my side, Lady Shutara?"
"I was the one who placed it there. It was just a tool for self-defense," she said nonchalantly. "Are you able to use it now?"
Sora nodded. But his doubts remained. If it was just for self-defense, why not give him a normal Asauchi? Why give him a divine weapon that he couldn't even use until he reached the lieutenant level?
"You can already use this Divine Weapon?" A faint smile appeared on Shutara's lips. "Then it is yours to keep. Continue to use it."
Their business here was finished; Shutara and Kirinji had to return to the Soul King Palace. Sora brought Batsunsai back to the dojo to recuperate.
Before leaving, Unohana suddenly asked Shutara, "Shutara, last year I encountered a Reigai made from my spiritual particles. What is going on?"
"Are you sure it was your Reigai?" Shutara was slightly taken aback. "Since the Captain Completion Project was suspended, I have not made any other captain's Reigai besides Batsunsai's."
"I am certain it was a Reigai. I even asked Kirio, and she knew nothing about it," Unohana said, frowning. "Could it be the work of those nobles?"
After the project was suspended, the technology had been sealed away in the Great Spirit Book Gallery. Now, only a few people with extremely high authority could access it. Besides the captains, only the upper nobility had that privilege.
"Is someone else in the Soul Society making Reigai of the captains?" Shutara frowned.
"I will continue to investigate this matter," Unohana said, then vanished with Shunpo.
"Someone is making a Reigai of Unohana?" Kirinji stroked his chin. "But what's the point? The technology is still flawed. The Reigai produced can't grow at all."
"That's right. Katori Sora is special. If the Soul King hadn't let you sew a piece of the Shadow into his body, he wouldn't have been able to grow to this point, right?" Kirinji laughed.
"Indeed," Shutara nodded lightly. "Even if I were to make another one now, I could not replicate him."
"Senjumaru, what do you think the Soul King's intention is in cultivating a Reigai like this? Not only giving him a part of the Shadow, but also a divine weapon for protection. It couldn't really be just to help us heal Batsunsai, could it?"
"Who knows..."
...
Three days later, Batsunsai woke up. She opened her eyes to a familiar ceiling and her heart leaped in shock, thinking that they had taken Sora's Spiritual Core and transplanted it into her after all.
"Sora!!!"
