The next morning, Kisuke, Serafall, Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna saw Claire, Tanis, and Kunou off from the front door on their way to their new school. Although Ophis and Lilith also wanted to go, it's extremely hard for them to socialize and pretend to be like a normal Human that has nothing to do with anything supernatural.
They may have been fine with the Ouroboros Academy but they might endanger the lives of the normal kids so Kisuke didn't give them permission to go. Naturally, Ophis and Lilith protested and Kisuke had to think of an alternative, 'Hmmm... Where in the world do I find a school that doesn't see strange kids as strange?'
Kisuke thought for a while and was able to come up with something. He turned to the sulking 'twins' and asked, "In your current state, how far can you shapeshift?"
"As long as we're together, anything." Ophis immediately answered.
"But our abilities will be limited to that of the shapeshifted form. And it'll take some time to return to normal." Lilith supplemented.
'I see. So that's the price they have to pay in their current state.' Kisuke went through his idea once more and asked another question, "You won't be classmates with Claire and the others, but you'll be going to a school. Is that fine with you?"
Ophis and Lilith nodded vigorously. It's a lot better than being left out and they really can't stay still like what Flanna is doing most of the time. Furthermore, they quite like the concept of learning and anything that supplements their knowledge would do.
"I have something in mind where you could enroll and don't have to worry about appearing out of place, only if the two of you can shapeshift into a 'Soul race'."
Serafall, who was quietly listening from the side, was surprised, "Are you actually thinking of enrolling them there?"
"I think it'll be a good experience for them." Kisuke is thinking of enrolling them in the Spiritual Arts Academy where prospective Shinigamis are being trained.
Ophis and Lilith didn't answer and instead, they linked their hands and a surge of strange power enveloped the both of them.
After a while, Kisuke, Serafall, and Flanna witness their aura radically transformed, turning their unique Draconic aura into that of a black Reiatsu.
Kisuke immediately checked their physiology and found out that they did turn into a Soul that's invisible to normal people, 'This is nuts... It was just an idea but to think they could really just transform into something else.'
Flanna guessed what Kisuke was thinking after looking at his facial expression and said, "That's the true power of 'Infinity' and the true nature of her 'Shapeshifting'. You could say that she's only a Dragon God because she chose to do so and the raw power she possesses is because of that declaration."
With their Reiatsu receding, Ophis and Lilith opened their eyes and simultaneously said, "I'm a Dragon."
Flanna waved her hand in dismissal, "Yeah, yeah. You're a Dragon. But you can't declare something like that easily if you don't want to revert back."
As Flanna said, Ophis and Lilith's black Reiatsu started flaring up again, and slowly, it's turning to something 'Draconic'. The two of them ignored Flanna and stabilized their power. A second later, their Reiatsu became pure again.
Nevertheless, this instance told both Kisuke and Serafall what the 'Infinite Dragon God' truly is.
While deep in their thoughts, Ophis and Lilith excitedly looked at Kisuke and asked, "Can we attend now?!"
Watching their anticipation, all the complexity in Kisuke's mind disappeared, and patted their heads with a smile, "Yep. As long as you can maintain that, you'll be able to attend the school in the Soul Society."
Kisuke and Serafall looked at each other and even without saying a word, both of them knew that they had come to the same conclusion, 'No matter what form they take, the fact that they're 'Ophis' and 'Lilith' wouldn't change.'
Kisuke then turned to Flanna and asked, "What about you? What do you want to do?"
Flanna didn't really give it a deep thought and just replied, "Hmm... Maybe I'll go exploring? Can I go to the other side? I want to observe more. It feels like I'm missing something."
Kisuke and Serafall are not as worried as Flanna as they are for Ophis and Lilith. Even though she'd act childish, there's always a plan behind her actions if she wanted to do something. In their opinion, it's better to leave her alone the same as when she was still roaming the Dimensional Gap.
"It's fine. As long as you don't destroy Reverse London."
Flanna smiled and flew at high speed, but not before leaving very worrying words, "So it's fine I just take over it! Thanks, boss! I'll get going!"
"..."
"..."
Kisuke and Serafall were speechless.
"Ki-tan... Is that alright?" Serafall nervously asked.
Kisuke was also shocked. But unlike Serafall, he's feeling a bit different, "I think it's fine. Although she's very stupid at many things, she's very wise at certain topics."
Kisuke kept it secret that he was actually anticipating to see what kind of uproar she'll cause a bit.
Sadly for him, Serafall could already see through him but she could only sigh.
"Well then, I'll accompany Ophis-chan and Lilith-chan to the entrance exam. Since they possess a sizable amount of Reiatsu, they should pass without any problems."
Serafall bid them goodbye and Kisuke took the 'twins' to a remote corner of the town before opening a Garganta to reach a far corner of the Rukongai.
Since the land of the Rukongai was technically wide enough to house all of the Souls that arrived from the Human World, Kisuke, Ophis, and Lilith landed in a very distant place from the Seireitei.
Thankfully, this isn't really an obstacle for them as Kisuke could just hide their figures and travel at amazing speeds. He had to carry Ophis and Lilith because they really had no idea how to control Reiatsu even though they had basic control over it as if it was just an extension of their bodies.
It didn't take them long to reach the Seireitei's wall and find the booth where one could register for an examination. This year's round of examinations was already over a month ago, however, the booth was still open for special cases. The Seireitei didn't want to miss exceptional individuals just because they didn't reach the deadline.
But before they approached them, Kisuke asked Ophis and Lilith to change their clothes similar to the people around them.
That was easy for them and they instantly looked like a pair of teenage twins from a respectable part of the Rukongai. However, there's another reason why Kisuke stopped for a moment, "Listen, I'm going to teach you how to properly control your Reiatsu. Before you enter, you have to learn this first, or else, the moment you grab one of those Asauchis, they'll absorb your Reiatsu and grow uncontrollably."
Although Kisuke said 'control', he'll just be teaching them how not to leak their Reiatsu to avoid most of the problems they'll be facing.
As of now, both of them have similar levels of Reiatsu as a Captain of the Gotei 13 deep within their bodies. Kisuke doesn't know how it normalized to the same level when Ophis is supposedly 'bigger' than Lilith. However, the main problem is when they connect and release everything they have. Kisuke doesn't know exactly how much but he has a feeling that it'll be on par with Aizen's if not more.

28th00: I like how the fact that Ophis just woke up one day and decided “I’m a Dragon” was enough for reality to just go “Yes, you’re THE DRAGON.” Time to bully the poor Academy with unsupervised Dragon Twins
