The next day, Katori Sora arrived at the Shin'ō Academy. As he entered the office, he found that his colleagues seemed to be discussing him. It was to be expected. Who would have thought that while others were on vacation, he had gone to fight in a war, and as the acting vice-captain of Squad 4 no less?
This had made him the center of attention.
"Professor Katori is here!" Souke Tanuki waved at the door. "Good morning!"
Sora smiled. "Good morning."
Tanuki rushed over and put an arm around his shoulder. "You rascal, you actually became a vice-captain during the break!"
"I have to thank Captain Unohana for her high regard," Sora said, walking to his desk. He saw a large flower basket on it. "These flowers are..."
"The guards brought them over. They said they were from the Shinigami of Squad 4," Tanuki said, his face full of envy.
"Professor Katori is so amazing! He's already a vice-captain!" Riko Shirai exclaimed. She had been the one to register him on his first day.
"That's right! I heard from my former classmates who went to Squad 4 that he saved the lives of many Shinigami," Professor Kobayashi also praised.
"Professor Katori, now that you're the vice-captain, will you still be teaching at the academy?" Tanuki asked the question on everyone's mind.
"I am still the homeroom Professor of Class 1-2. I can't manage both sides at once, so I have already resigned from the vice-captain position. I will be staying here to teach," Sora said with a smile.
Everyone was in disbelief. To give up such a high-ranking position to continue teaching at the academy. "Professor Katori's decision to give up being a vice-captain for his students is truly admirable!"
"We are all doing very meaningful work," Sora said gently. His humble demeanor only improved their opinion of him.
Tanuki glanced at an empty seat farther inside. "Professor Katori, I heard this year's autumn exam is related to the competition for the Head of the Swordsmanship Department."
"It would be great if you could get the position." He didn't want it to fall to the frequently absent Tokinada Tsunayashiro.
"I am also very interested in the position," Sora said openly. After Kana had achieved Shikai, her Spiritual Pressure was no less than Sōjun Kuchiki's. She had a good chance of winning. For Sora, this position was far more important than being a vice-captain, because it came with a hidden benefit: priority in choosing new student classes.
Just then, two more people entered the office: the heads of the Kidō and Hakuda departments, Hachigen Ushōda and Nakano.
"Professor Katori, it's good that you're here. We'd like to discuss something with you," Nakano said kindly.
"Please, go ahead, Head Nakano."
"Lady Yoruichi went to the battlefield without permission a while back, which gave her family a huge headache. They've grounded her," Nakano said with a helpless expression. "And they've invited me to guide her training."
Sora's eye twitched. Yoruichi had snuck onto the battlefield! The story about her family wanting her to get experience was a lie to trick him.
"I've taught her Hakuda before, so I know what her level was," Nakano continued. "I never expected she would have grown so much. I heard her say her progress was due to your excellent guidance."
"Yoruichi's talent is very good, and she is also very hardworking," Sora said modestly.
"Her talent is good, but her rapid progress is undoubtedly thanks to your instruction," Nakano laughed. "Her personality is a bit mischievous; she's not easy to guide. For you to become her Professor shows you have extraordinary teaching ability."
"Therefore, I would like to invite you to give a lecture to the students of the advanced Hakuda class."
Sora understood. This was a boost from Yoruichi! He certainly had no reason to refuse such a good thing. "Of course, no problem. Just set a time, Head Nakano."
"Then I'll leave it to you," Nakano continued. "By the way, Lady Yoruichi also said your Kidō level is very high. After I mentioned this to Head Ushōda, he also wanted to invite you to give a lecture to the advanced Kidō class."
The "Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō" Sora had used in Karakura Town had left an indelible impression on Yoruichi.
"Yes, I also came to invite you, Professor Katori," Ushōda said.
"No problem at all," Sora said, his heart filled with joy. Yoruichi was a true lucky star, sending two great opportunities his way.
