"Being too excellent can indeed bring a lot of troubles."

"Sōsuke, what do you think?"

Someone lay on the bed, boasting, "Should I choose the 2nd Division, the 4th Division, or the Kido Corps?"

"Whether it's Yoruichi, Captain Unohana, or Teacher Tessai, they've all offered quite generous conditions."

"It's really hard to decide…"

Aizen remained silent, flipping through the cookbook that Akira had given him. There were many interesting things in it, much more nutritious than what someone was saying.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Akira sat up and said seriously, "When Teacher Tessai invited me, he also mentioned you."

"He appreciates your performance in Kido combat."

"If you join the Kido Corps, you'll be treated on par with a high-ranking officer."

"When your spiritual pressure level increases, you can even become the Vice Chief of Kido."

Hearing this, Aizen stopped turning the pages and was about to speak when Akira continued:

"Actually, I think Teacher Tessai's judgment is a bit off."

"To say your spiritual pressure is relatively weak, is that something a person can say?"

He grinned and gestured with his hands, "If my spiritual pressure level is this much."

"Then your spiritual pressure is probably this much."

In Aizen's surprised gaze, Akira stretched his arms as wide as possible, even bending them backward.

"You misunderstood."

Aizen's eyes filled with calm, covering up the surprise that had just surfaced.

"Actually, my spiritual pressure is far inferior to yours. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost in Kido combat."

"The reason I could last so long in the battle is entirely because I know how to use every bit of power properly and direct it to the right path."

Although he was curious why Akira was so confident, Aizen, who was used to hiding, would not admit it in such matters.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

Akira didn't bother to argue with him on this.

Aizen's spiritual pressure is weaker than his? What a joke in the Soul Society!

If Aizen had used all his spiritual pressure in the previous Kido combat, it wouldn't take ten seconds for him to kneel and beg not to die.

Captain-level spiritual pressure might be a bit lacking, but definitely above Vice-Captain level.

Akira had that much confidence.

"It's lunchtime."

He flipped up energetically and pulled Aizen along, "Instead of worrying about which division to join in the future, let's fill our stomachs first."

"Today's meal is on me!"

Glancing at the excited Akira, Aizen's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

He was now a bit confused.

Was it a good thing or a bad thing to know and become close friends with this guy?

…

In the following period, the Shin'ō Academy returned to its usual peace and tranquility.

Tessai also returned to teaching Kido classes after a few days of rest.

According to him, this academic year would be his last at the Shin'ō Academy.

Because he was about to take up the position of Grand Kido Chief, he wouldn't be able to be as leisurely as he was now in the future.

Akira also temporarily calmed down under the threat of death from Teacher Kaede.

He reduced his business of selling amulets, exorcisms, and blessings in the Shin'ō Academy and promised not to cause any physical harm to any teacher.

Of course, this situation wouldn't last long.

Forcing someone like him to suppress his nature would only backfire and cause more serious consequences.

Fortunately, Chōya Genjirō also paid attention to Akira as soon as he finished his official duties and formulated a series of targeted measures.

In the teacher's office, Kaede stared at the two boys in front of him, or more accurately, he was glaring at Akira.

"Cough, cough, Teacher Kaede, I haven't caused any trouble recently," Akira defended himself in a low voice.

Kaede nodded silently, casually taking a few blood pressure pills from the table.

Now, he could chew the medicine without changing his expression.

But next time, he might consider asking Captain Unohana to make a mint-flavored one, as long as this kid was still in the Shin'ō Academy, he couldn't stop taking blood pressure medicine.

"This time, I called you here because there's a new task."

"It was originally supposed to be handled by the sixth-year students, but considering that unexpected situations might arise beyond their capabilities, I applied to the principal for you to take charge."

Kaede cleared his throat and said seriously:

"The 8th Division and the 12th Division, responsible for intelligence gathering, discovered traces of Hollows at the Santeiji Temple in East Rukongai."

"Your task is to eliminate all the Hollows there and maintain the peace of Rukongai."

Seeing Akira's expression change, Kaede hurriedly sped up his speech, fearing that this reckless guy would rush to the Santeiji Temple directly.

"Before going to the Santeiji Temple, you'd better go to the 12th Division's research institute to get the latest Hollow detection device."

"The Hollows this time are very good at hiding…"

After explaining some specific matters to be noted, Kaede finally let the two leave.

Watching their departing figures and the vague words echoing in the corridor, Kaede felt an inexplicable unease.

Would Akira cause any trouble this time?

…

At the 12th Division's Research Institute.

Soon, two boys of similar height, wearing the same blue and white Shin'ō Academy uniforms, appeared here.

The architectural style in front of them was extremely exaggerated, with several giant skeletal arms covering the cocoon-like house in an embracing posture, resembling a Michelin tire man lying on the stone floor.

Around the research institute, colorful cloths were hanging, giving the feeling of entering a dye house.

"Indeed, scientists have quite a perverted sense of aesthetics."

After observing for a while, Akira concluded.

Aizen did not comment on this.

Even from his aesthetic point of view, this research institute was quite strange.

After showing their credentials, they were led by a Shinigami through several slightly deep corridors and finally arrived at a room marked with the Seventh Research Room.

"Group leader, they are here to apply for the latest Hollow circuit detector."

The room was pure white, without any extra decorations or colors, in stark contrast to the outside structure.

As the sound of rolling wheels echoed, a beautiful woman in a white research coat appeared before them.

Her black medium-length hair fell smoothly, her features were delicate, her skin pale, and her movements elegant, completely lacking the aura of a researcher.

In Akira's shocked gaze, she slowly approached them, her flawless black eyes fixed on Aizen, and said softly:

"Boy, you are very special…"
