The war was over, but Squad 4 was busier than ever. There were too many wounded. Sora was also pulled in by Unohana to help.
His reputation, which had previously been confined to the academy, had now spread. After participating in this war, most of the Gotei 13 had heard his name. The fact that he had saved the near-death Captain Jikkyō had thoroughly won over the members of Squad 4.
He now had many fans in the squad.
"Professor, this patient's condition has worsened!" Rii Hoshino said urgently.
"The wound is infected. First, remove the infected tissue, then clean it," Sora advised. Rii followed his instructions, and with her Kaidō, the patient's condition quickly stabilized.
"You're amazing, professor! You saw the cause so quickly!" Rii said, wiping the sweat from her brow.
"Practice more, observe more. You'll be able to see it too with more experience," Sora said. With so many practical opportunities, he had called his disciple Rii over to learn. Her Kaidō had become more and more proficient, far surpassing her peers and even rivaling other official Squad 4 members.
And guiding her had triggered a training mission.
[Guide disciple Rii Hoshino to complete practical Kaidō training (Completed).]
Sora finished with his current patient. "Rii, keep an eye on these wounded for me. I'm going to the intensive care unit to check on Captain Jikkyō. He should be waking up soon."
He left the emergency room and, in a moment of free time, checked the rewards for his two completed missions.
[Disciple Yoruichi Shihōin has completed battlefield training. Reward settlement.]
[Reward obtained: 10,000 general experience points.]
[Reward obtained: Tenshintai.]
[Guide disciple Rii Hoshino to complete practical Kaidō training. Reward settlement.]
[Reward obtained: 10,000 general experience points.]
[Reward obtained: Hōten Recipe.]
The rewards included a "Tenshintai"! This was a shortcut for training Bankai. It was a humanoid doll that, when a Zanpakutō was inserted into it, could forcibly materialize the Zanpakutō's spirit. If one could defeat the materialized spirit within three days, they could learn Bankai!
The other reward, "Hōten," was a spiritual anesthetic. The lower one's Spiritual Pressure, the harder it was to resist its effects. Sora was very satisfied with these rewards.
He walked into the intensive care unit. Unohana was also there. "Katori-kun, thank you so much for your help during this time. I don't know what I would have done without you," she said with a smile.
"You praise me too much, Captain. I only did what I could," Sora said gently. "Should the Captain be waking up soon?"
"You have a sharp eye. I just checked, and he is indeed showing signs of waking," Unohana nodded, then sighed. "Your medical skills are no longer beneath my own. I truly wish you would stay in Squad 4."
"I apologize. After these two days are over, I must return to the academy to teach," Sora said, scratching his head.
As they predicted, Captain Jikkyō soon woke up. "Still alive, huh..." his voice was hoarse and low. "Heh—I've gotten old, to be defeated by a Quincy..." He remembered what had happened before he passed out. "Is that you, Unohana? Did you save me?"
"You're finally awake, Captain Jikkyō. But it was not I who saved you," she said, shaking her head gently and gesturing to Sora. "It was Katori-kun who saved you."
A flicker of surprise appeared in Jikkyō's eyes. "Boy, I remember you learned the sword from Batsunsai. To think you're also so skilled in Kaidō!" He knew how badly he had been injured; he had been on the brink of death.
"Unohana, don't tell me you poached her disciple, hahaha!"
"I wish I had..." she smiled lightly. "But seeing how Batsunsai is, I couldn't bear to steal her successor, so I only taught him some Kaidō. However, his current level has little to do with me. It's mostly his own effort."
"The young people these days are amazing!" Jikkyō continued. "How is Asada Kōya? After I fell, he couldn't have stopped that Quincy!" He had no children or official disciples, but he had personally trained his vice-captain, Asada, and cared for his well-being.
"Vice-Captain Asada... sacrificed himself while assisting Captain Kuruyashiki in defeating the Quincy who grievously wounded you," Sora said in a low voice.
Jikkyō was stunned. A fleeting look of grief passed over his grim face. The intensive care unit fell into a long silence.
