"Stop!" The white-haired man was enraged, seeing Sora kill several of his clansmen in a row.
He drew the long sword from his waist. A dozen 'Blanks' flew down from the sky and were absorbed into the blade.
The sword, having absorbed the 'Blanks,' flared with a bright green light.
However, before he could make his next move, a stream of light arrived in an instant, cutting off his remaining hand.
"Lord Ganryū!" the green-armored Shinigami cried out in alarm.
"Too slow," Sora said softly. "Has your utilization of the 'Blanks' not yet fully matured?"
He had an impression of this white-haired man. In the future, these green-armored Shinigami would be able to use 'Blanks' to enhance their own strength. This man would be able to fight on par with Bankai Ichigo and would even dream of destroying both the Soul Society and the World of the Living.
"Die!"
A green-armored Shinigami summoned a group of 'Blanks,' and dozens of them exploded violently around Sora.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—
The continuous explosions kicked up a cloud of dust that filled the area.
After a few moments, the green-armored Shinigami saw a massive dark shadow within the dust cloud.
Then, a giant flame sword cut through the dust.
Only then did the long-haired man and the others get a clear look. The giant shadow was actually an incredibly oppressive armored giant of flames.
Katori Sora was at the center of the giant. The recent explosions had not harmed him in the slightest.
Dust-Binding Flame Armor!
The terrifying pressure brought by the armored giant momentarily robbed the long-haired man and the others of their will to resist.
The giant raised its massive flame sword and slammed it down on them.
The flame sword crashed into the ground, and dense cracks spread across the earth. Then, the ground itself disintegrated into countless fragments.
BOOM!!!
The bodies of the long-haired man and the green-armored Shinigami were torn apart by the immense force, then vaporized by the terrifying heat, decomposed into the most basic of spiritual particles, and became one with the earth.
The flames on the armored giant quickly vanished, and its entire body rapidly disintegrated and fell away.
Sora walked out slowly from the rain of falling stone fragments. After confirming the enemies were dead, he used Shunpo to get to the mountaintop.
Akane Saitō had already been rescued by his students.
Nozomishin Ōmaeda and the now-conscious Sōjun Kuchiki frequently cast astonished glances at Sora.
This was the first time they had seen him kill enemies, and they were utterly shocked by the strength he displayed.
"Even the vice-captains are probably no match for Professor Katori... Has his strength already approached the captain-level?" Sōjun thought to himself.
"Professor, her condition is strange. We can't wake her up," Kana Azashiro said.
"Let me see." Sora crouched in front of Akane and began to examine her.
When he sensed the condition inside her body, his brow furrowed deeply.
There was a strange and chaotic spiritual pressure fluctuation within her. This pressure was making her spiritual body extremely unstable, on the verge of exploding at any moment.
"This must be the 'Shinenju'," Sora said, looking at the jewel on her collarbone.
The 'Shinenju' was formed from the condensed memories of 'Blanks.' Having lost their memories, 'Blanks' would endlessly pursue their past lives, which is why they were drawn to the 'Shinenju.'
Ganryū Ryūdōji had implanted the 'Shinenju' into a Shinigami's body, causing the 'Blanks' to be attracted to it.
Of the swarm of 'Blanks' in the white vortex earlier, some had entered the 'Shinenju,' while others had entered her spiritual body through the wound on her collarbone.
The chaotic spiritual pressure Sora sensed was from the 'Blanks' that had surged into her body.
"Her spiritual body won't be able to hold out for much longer. I must remove the 'Shinenju' first, otherwise these 'Blanks' will refuse to leave," Sora thought for a moment and decided to act.
A spiritual pressure blade and the faint light of Healing Kidō appeared on Sora's fingers. With a gentle scoop at her collarbone, he removed the 'Shinenju.'
At that moment, the 'Blanks' remaining in her body, sensing the jewel's removal, quickly squeezed out of the bloody hole in her collarbone.
Sora's spiritual pressure surged, and he used Healing Kidō to stabilize Akane's spiritual body, preventing it from being torn apart by the挤压 'Blanks.'
After the 'Blanks' emerged from the wound, they swarmed towards the 'Shinenju' in Sora's hand.
A moment later, no more 'Blanks' came out of her wound. Under the effect of the Healing Kidō, it slowly began to heal.
Even then, Sora could still sense that the spiritual pressure fluctuations in her body were somewhat chaotic.
After a careful examination, Sora understood the reason.
When the 'Blanks' had crowded inside her, they had torn off a part of her spiritual body. When they left, they had taken that part with them.
But some of the 'Blanks' had also been crushed and absorbed by her spiritual body.
"Akane Saitō has lost a part of herself as a Shinigami, but has gained something else..." Sora didn't know what kind of effect this would have on her.
However, he could confirm that her spiritual pressure had not weakened too much. The 'Blank' fragments she absorbed were equivalent to the part that had been taken away.
After a period of treatment, Akane Sait-o woke up.
"Miss Saitō, how are you feeling now?" Sora asked.
"Where is this... who... are you?" Akane felt groggy, as if her memory had been fragmented, leaving large blank spots.
"Could it be that the 'Blanks' took a part of her memory?" Sora frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Miss Saitō, do you still remember who you are?"
"I am... Akane Saitō..." She shook her groggy head, a look of confusion on her face. "Why did I pass out?"
"I am Katori Sora, a Professor from the Spiritual Arts Academy. Can you remember anything else, Miss Saitō?" Sora continued to ask.
Akane looked at Sora, then at the student uniforms on Shinji and the others. "Am I at the Spiritual Arts Academy now? What happened... I think I was preparing some supplies to be transported... what supplies?"
"It seems there's no cognitive error," Sora nodded lightly.
Akane appeared to have lost some of her memories. His biggest worry was that the memories from the 'Shinenju' had been left in her, giving her someone else's memories, which could lead to a cognitive crisis.
Sora explained the current situation to her, making her understand that they were in the middle of a mission to transport supplies to the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.
"I see. So it was the reishi turbulence that blew the students into this 'Valley of Screams'. It must have been a terrifying storm. And we even encountered the exiled Ryūdōji clan... Thank you for saving me, Professor Katori," Akane said with sincere gratitude.
Shinji and the others had a bad feeling. They hadn't even reached Hueco Mundo yet, and the examiner who was supposed to be grading them already had amnesia.
