Chapter 4 | Making a Plan

Waking up I saw the sun shining in the sky, getting up I suddenly feel a throwbing pain in my arm.

Clutching I grit my teeth and wait for the pain to subside. After the pain goes away, I check my arm and find a bite mark. However unlike a normal bite mark, it looked as if it had already scared over and the bite mark was a whiteish blue color. Rather than a bite it looked like a tattoo. 

Suddenly memories of yesterday's events flash back and I realize this bite was from Hyōrinmaru.

''Aroura is this bite bad?'' I ask fearing the worst.

[No, the opposite. It's a mark used for spirit's mating rituals. You have been designated as the prospective mate of Hyōrinmaru and she has been designated as yours as well. This will also make it easier to use Hyōrinmaru and control Reiryotsu.]

''Prospective mate?'' I ask slightly confused at the unfamiliar term.

[It's the equivalent of an engagement.]

''Ok...huh, How have I get my self into these situations.

[It's recommended to check the rest of the items in your [Storage].]

''Oh! Yah I still had the other things!''

I realized I had only gotten through checking my Zanpakutō and not the rest of the items in my [Storage].

Quickly asking Aroura to open up the [Storage] again, I was met with 3 other items I was interested in; [Shihakushō], [No-Face mask] and [Scarf of Ass Kicking (color changing)].

___________________________________________

[Shihakushō]

Traditional Shinigami attire, mandate by Gotei 13 and the Royal Guard.

Made solely out of Reiryoku, it is much more durable than cloth and has far greater resistance to cutting. It also has the function of being able to be restored when Reiryoku is injected into it.

[No-Face Mask]

A Mask worn by a lonely spirit, due to being with him for so long the mask gained mysterious properties. When worn it allows the user to change their transparency, however it dose not allow the wearer to go completely invisible. It also allows you to sense others emotions to a small degree when worn for an extended period of time. Obscures face (impossible to see through.)

[Transparency Control (Limited)] [Emotion Sensing (Limited)] [Face Obscurity]

[Scarf of Ass Kicking (color changing)]

A senselessly over-sized scarf that makes anyone look kick ass. If worn it makes others think of you as cool and creates an aura of kick-ass when worn. It also holds the function of changing color, becoming slightly smaller, or becoming tattered if the user wants it so.

[Color changing] [Aura of Ass-Kicking] [Tattered form] [Length Adjustability (Limited)]

Looking through the descriptions I realize the [Shihakushō] and [No-Face Mask] are quite usable and handy while the [Scarf of Ass Kicking...] was entirely for ascetics.

Not complaining though, since it does look kick ass.

However, the [Shihakushō] served as a handy and reusable suit while the [No-Face Mask] could help in hiding my identity, the scarf was kind of an added bonus, but...

''I've got my Hero costume!''

I scream as I raise my hands into the air. After that I finally relax an all the exhaustion and mental strain hit's me at once, as I fall onto my back and close my eyes...

''Hey Aroura... wake me up... if anything important comes up...'' I squeak out as I fall into the cool embrace of sleep.

[Understood.]

[Wake up, it's time to go to school.]

A voice sounds loudly in my ear

Waking up from the sudden noise, I jerked up and looked around myself. Realizing it was Aroura, I stopped holding my breath and calmed my heart.

''What the fuck, Aroura!'' I chastised Aroura who just did the equivalent of screaming into my ears, but directly into my brain.

[Sorry, but it was the only way you'd wake up.] Aroura explained herself but I wasn't having it.

''You couldn't do it any quitter?'' I asked in skepticism.

[I tried, but you weren't responding.]

''...really?''

[Yes.]

''Ok...then what was so important that I needed to wake up?''

[You have school.]

''...'' I deadpanned at the system.

''Why is that so important...'' I asked.

[Your current school, is the same one that Barbera Gordan will attend in a year.]

''!?'' I momentarily widen my eyes at the reason. Barbera Gordan A.K.A batgirl or Oracle is a highly intelligent girl who becomes one of Batman's side kicks and than goes onto become a hacker.

Knowing this is quite helpful, as I could build a relationship with her in advance. It could be really helpful to become friends with someone who could hack into the pentagon.

Since I'm currently in 4th grade due to skipping 2, Barber who is going into grade 1 is most likely a year or 2 younger than me. This gives me about 2 years to become friends with her and build a friendship, until then I need to focus on training.

Quickly forming a plan in my head I decided I would go to school and then return home and train. Though before that I needed to go through the [Basics of Reiryoku] book to learn how to seal my Reiryoku, so no one else would be affected by it.

Opening the book I sat down and began to read, this wasn't going to be a quick process.
