Chapter 174: First day at school

(Ryoto's pov)

After the announcement of the groups, we went to check out our new rooms. At some point, Urahara, Tessai, and I separated from Yoruichi and Rin as the girls' dorms were in another direction from the boys' dorm. These two dorms were on two different sides of the main building.

Walking inside, I could see an ordinary room for two. Nothing much. Two beds on both sides of the room and a garderobe for our clothes. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

I will be sharing a room with arguably the smartest person in this world. Not only that. The man named Kisuke Urahara is also cautious. He always comes expecting 1000 what-if scenarios just so he is never caught unprepared.

The good thing is that he only became like this after Aizen outsmarted him. Right now, he is younger and hopefully less mature and cunning but let's not forget that he probably still is highly intelligent, and because of his scientific mind, I assume he is a very curious individual.

It could either be bad or good for me. As an enemy, he would be my worst nightmare, but he isn't an enemy.

The bonus is that in the future, he will become a candy shop owner, and I'll be hoping for a friend discount.

Kisuke: "Now that we'll be living, let's introduce ourselves once more. My name is Kisuke Urahara, as you have heard from Yoruichi before."

He stuck out his hand for a handshake.

Now that I think about it, I didn't introduce myself before.

Ryoto: "Ryoto Yuuki. Nice to meet you."

We greeted each other with a handshake, but after that, there was an awkward silence.

Kisuke: "So... you know Yoruichi?"

We talked for a while about some things. He asked me about my life before, and I talked about how I lived in the 78th district. I didn't mention stealing, but it was apparent to anyone that I was forced to steal since, unlike most souls there, Rin and I needed food.

The teacher wanted to step in but was stopped by Yamamoto.

The old man opened his eyes slightly and increased pressure but only around me.

As I was continuously releasing Reiatsu to protect myself, Yamamoto was slowly increasing his as well.

Unlike me, his control over Reiatsu was masterful. Mine was spreading evenly but violently around me while he was focused on me. At the same time, I could feel Zangetsu's desire to battle.

At some point, I couldn't increase my Reiatsu anymore, and Yamamoto's Reiatsu didn't stop until I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore, and then the pressure suddenly vanished, and I was left panting.

Rin: "Ryoto, are you alright?"

Rin asked, worried about me, but I reassured her that I was okay.

Ryoto: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The pressure was just a lot stronger than I expected."

Yamamoto slammed his cane against the floor, gathering all of the students' attention.

Yamamoto: "Right now, all of you are weak."

He stated brutally.

Yamamoto: "But by the end of your time here, I'm hoping to see you become a real Shinigami. However, I want you to remember something. Seek not aesthetics in war. Seek not a virtue in death. Think not of thine own life should thee seek to protect thy king and the Five dukes. Slay all foe as indifferently as shadows of leaves. That's all from me."

With these words, he left, but he gave me a last glance at me before exiting the classroom.
