Chapter 17 – New Zanpakutō

Chapter 17 – New Zanpakutō

The realm of captain-level existence, Second Class Reiatsu, was the most basic requirement. Only with Second Class Reiatsu could one complete the materialization of a Zanpakutō. Then, there was a Zanpakutō's final form release - Bankai!

During the day, Ailin handled the vice-captain's affairs together with Marenoshin Ōmaeda, occasionally also receiving missions.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

But before Ailin, whose strength had greatly increased, those missions were merely adding a few more merits to his service record.

At night, Ailin would wield Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakutō, absorbing the two's cultivation experiences to further enhance his own basic strength.

Yoruichi didn't often use her Zanpakutō, so Ailin gained nearly no swordplay experience from it. However, what Yoruichi was most famous for was her Shunpo mastery.

In all of Soul Society, Yoruichi was known as the "Goddess of Flash". Regarding Shunpo, no one could match her. From Yoruichi's Zanpakutō, Ailin obtained her Shunpo experience.

From Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakutō, the biggest gain for Ailin was Demon Arts abilities. At the same time, based on Kisuke Urahara's "Princess Benihime's" Blood Mist Shield ability, Ailin had successfully forged a sheath for Tessaiga that could deploy a defensive barrier.

Thus, Tessaiga's completion had risen somewhat, with its Shikai boosting his Reiatsu by three and a half times now.

Time passed by as everyone made progress...

"Oh?"

One day, due to squad affairs, Ailin went to the captain's office to meet with Yoruichi Shihōin. Usually though, the one Ailin met was Yoruichi's little fangirl, Shaolin Fon.

Over the past few years, although Ailin and Shaolin Fon hadn't conversed much, they were quite familiar with one another.

"This feeling is..."

The instant Ailin saw Shaolin Fon, his eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze looked towards the Zanpakutō by Shaolin Fon's waist.

The azure lines in his eyes flashed. In just a few seconds, Ailin had finished analyzing Shaolin Fon's Zanpakutō.

"Congratulations, Miss Shaolin. Are you preparing for your seated officer challenge soon?"

After placing the documents on the desk, Ailin smiled and congratulated Shaolin Fon.

For Ailin, Shaolin Fon completing her Zanpakutō's gestation was great news.

"3rd Seat Ōmaeda sure is unlucky..." Ailin shook his head with a laugh.

Indeed, this Marenoshin Ōmaeda truly had awful luck. Undeniably, Marenoshin Ōmaeda was quite strong. However, against Shaolin Fon and her Zanpakutō, he had zero compatibility!

Before reaching a certain level of Reiatsu, Shaolin Fon's Zanpakutō Two Hit Certain Kill was genuinely unsolvable.

Admittedly, Marenoshin Ōmaeda's Reiatsu exceeded Shaolin Fon's by a lot. But it still wasn't enough to ignore Suzumebachi's ability completely. With Shaolin Fon's Shunpo, avoiding Marenoshin Ōmaeda's attacks and finding chances to strike him wasn't difficult at all.

"Ha? Don't talk as if I've already won!"

Shaolin Fon's brow twitched. After arranging her challenge documents properly, she shot Ailin a glare. Although unwilling to admit it verbally, pride was evident within her expression.

After leaving the captain's office, Ailin returned to his own residence...

"Buzz—!"

Azure radiance flashed. A Zanpakutō descended from the skies, inserting itself into the hill of blades.

Exceeding Ailin's expectations, the level where Suzumebachi manifested was actually the same as those few Zanpakutō that had attained Bankai!

"Oh?"

Ailin walked over and grasped Suzumebachi's hilt. A few seconds later, a smile emerged on his face.

"What a huge surprise..."

"Infinite Shunpo, Hornet Thunder Whip..."

Contrary to Ailin's predictions, even the original Shaolin Fon still hadn't trained her personal Zanpakutō to Bankai. Yet the Suzumebachi produced within his inner world had already reached Bankai!

However, Ailin soon understood. The weapons here originated from his memories. In his memories, Suzumebachi had indeed attained Bankai already.

In other words, any Zanpakutō Ailin replicated from his memories, even if their Shinigami hadn't completed releasing them yet, as long as they successfully birthed their Zanpakutō, what manifested in Ailin's world was their state over two hundred years later.
