Chapter 60 - The monster

Icibie and the rest who have watched Keiko grow up in front of them completely believed in Kekio and thus refused to believe that Keiko was involved with anything like what was said about him. Icibie leading the royal guards have even refused the orders of the center 46 stating that center 46 was under the authority of Soul king, not the other way around. The debate went on and finally, the decision was left to the soul king himself. Soul king simply said to follow whatever Keiko decides thus knowing Keiko's playful nature Icibie and others started worrying that Keiko will accept the punishments. Everyone with Ichibie, in particular, was very fond of Keiko, Ichibie even offered Keiko to take his last name along with Keiko but Keiko refused it.

They after getting instructions from the Soul King he invited Keiko who was foreign to the whole matter to discuss his opinion. Ichibie took Keiko the entire matter who laughed very loudly and instantly agreed to go to the soul society, Ichibe and other seeing this started explaining to Keiko that he can also refuse, center 46 can't force him in any manner but Keiko just smiled and went back not giving time to anyone to argue back.

Ichibe and others seeing this were hurtful. Their student and little kiddo was being taken away from them. Ichibe thus finally decided to let Keiko go to the soul society for now, but also stated that he will make a trip to escort Keiko into the soul society.

After 2 days Keiko stored all his things within his dimension and with Ichibe as escort went to Soul society.

Meanwhile, Captain-Commander Yamamoto received a report that Royal guards had accepted the decision of Center 46 and agreed to send the individual known as the Swordless titan in soul society to serve as a Lieutenant. After two days both the swordless titan and Monk who calls the real name will arrive within the soul society. Yamamoto knew the monster Ichibe thus knew the visit is not simple, thus ordered all the captain to report in at the moment both arrive with their Lieutenant.

2 days went by, the portal of the soul society open up and Keiko with a smile on his face stepped out, a huge pressure fell on the entire soul society, hundreds of Shinigami fell were the people ranked Lieutenant went on their knees.

Yamamoto seating in him chair seeing all the chaos tried to sense the source where the pressure was coming from but felt a bloodl.u.s.t of a monster standing behind him during his time as a Shinigami he was called a monster but the person standing behind him was on another level, fear slowly started taking over his body one by one the Lieutenant started passing out while some Captains went their knees, feeling powerless and disturbed Yamamoto channeled his Reiatsu and was about to release his Sword when he hears the voice of a devil: Are you ready to dance old man?

Yamamoto released a heavy breath and finally using everything he had turned back but saw there was no one so turned straight and saw in front of himself was Ichibe the monk who call the real men standing there along with a young man while resting of the captain and Lieutenant were staring at him. He first looked at Ichibe and then the young man who slowly said: I will ask again Are you ready to dance old man?. This time Yamamoto didn't felt the bloodl.u.s.t like the last time, not even a little bit but knew the young man stand-in front of him was anything but simple. The smile on his face said it all. It felt he knew everything there was and there will be if he wanted the world to exist it will if not he will just change it with the flip of his hand. Ichibe's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ichibe: We know he was dragged here without sufficient evidence, so if anything happens to him while he is here entire soul society will have to answer.

Yamamoto regained himself and answer: He will serve as a Shinigami, dangers are associated with his life in everything.

this time young man replied: Don't worry old man, what I wanted to know is, is it true that I can become a captain if I defeat a captain here?

Hearing this Yamamoto felt the bloodl.u.s.t in Young man with a smile on his face raging once again and quickly replied: No you're only here till the matter is cleared after it is concluded you can either leave or stay behind at that time if you want you can envoke the rule.

The young man didn't reply just smiled.

Yamamoto looked at his captain's and asked: Which of you want him?

Sei Feng stepped up: I heard your basic fighting technique involves speed so I have decided to take you.

Aizen interrupted her: But I have heard that he likes research so I suggest we place him under division and utilize his brain.

Ichibe nodding his head as he knew Keiko was very interested in technology and transferred under Kirio due to this.

But Keiko replied: No I'm very interested in Division 4 the relief squard. So possible can you kindly place me in that Captain-Commander Yamamoto?

Ichibe and everyone were very suprised. Ichibe asked Keiko: Kiddo are you sure? Knowing your personality I think other units will be better for you.

Keiko replied with the same smiling face: I think I should expend the knowledge spare, I already have learned about Healing from Master Tenjiro as will use this trip as an opportunity to gain more experience in it.

Ichibe knowing the Keiko is moody just sighed and looked at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto hears a whisper in his ear: Don't you think I should stay out of conflict old man? Who knows maybe If I am made to fight soul society gets destroyed.

Yamamoto looking at the smiling monster in front of him who looked nothing but a man in his youthful twenties nodded and said: Okay, Keiko, the swordless titan will be enrolled in the 4th division and if work is found to be satisfactory be made Lieutenant or co-Lieutenant depending on the circ.u.mstance and availability of the seat. The meeting is over, other then the young man rest will leave.
