Choosing a Path

'So it went accordingly to the plot, it seems like my existence didn't cause any major deviation' already sitting on his seat in Class, the brawn-haired boy was thinking 'but I cannot be sure, it would not be strange that beings like Aizen or even Urahara had plans for me' Well it's not like he was going to play his part obediently, but as for now what he needs is strength.

"What are you even thinking about so hard?" seeing him so concentrated thinking, Tatsuki couldn't help but ask what was on her mind.

"Hm... I am wondering what would be the best way to become stronger" Seeing no need to lie as such concept was beneath him, Daiki answered honestly.

"Huh...? You want to become stronger?" taken aback by his answer Tsubaki didn't know how to properly react but soon calmed down and asked once again "aren't you plenty strong enough already? I saw you once even beating Ichigo"

"Hey I just let him win" The somewhat indigent Ichigo shouted from the side, momentarily breaking from his discussion with Rukia

"Sure, you say the same thing every time anyway" reflexively answered Daiki before shaking his head 'so childish'

While that was happening, Rukia took a better look at the supposed brother of Ichigo" they really don't look alike at all, even their personalities, while one is hot-headed, the other is calm and collected"

"But if there is one thing, I am sure about is that they really are brothers" she was not basing the validity of this statement on their height but on their absurd level of spiritual pressure for a baseline humans "seriously, how is that even possible, I should keep an eye on him"

Daiki remarked Rukia observing him and while he didn't exactly know what she was thinking, he could guess but decided to ignore it for now 'if it's Rukia I don't have to worry for now'

As such the day followed its course even with Rukia and Ichigo disappearing for a good part of the day but such a thing was considered normal already, it's Ichigo after all.

'Status'

[Status]

Name: Kurosaki Daiki

Race: human/soul reaper/Quincy

Shadow Monarch Ashborn's inheritance: 0%

Achievement:

[Reincarnator, the one who conquered death]

With the information provided by the system, he knew what an inheritance was 'basically it's all skills, capacity, power, of the said character and the percentage grow the more I act or resemble him'

'That makes me wonder why didn't it go up since then?'

[Answer: Making the percentage go up is harder than you think and will take a long time, it won't go up by you just doing anything and sitting around]

Coming to a new understanding that everything will not be easy and game, Daiki decided to go with his formerly designed plan.

***

"Daiki, you coming?" Ichigo asked, as right now he wanted nothing more than to go home due to what happened to him today

"No, not yet have other plans today" wishing farewell to Ichigo, Daiki exited the school and looked for a somewhat deserted place, which he quickly found, a deserted factory 'a little morbid but it will do for now'

The reason he didn't go back with his brother today was that he planned to completely awaken his spiritual energy today, how you ask? Well, he just has a rough idea and wanted to test it out.

'Since I don't know how to awaken my Shinigami and Quincy powers, the best way to go is becoming a Fullbringer, since he is pretty sure that he was influenced by White's spiritual power' In fact, he thinks that Ichigo is still the one who got white as the system didn't display Hollow as a race of his.

'If I remember correctly when one has the qualifications to become one, the way to Fullbring is by manipulating the souls of objects one has affinities with' looking at the triangle-shaped collar around his neck that has been given to him and Ichigo by his mother when they were kids, he had a feeling that that was it. (Image in comment)

'Sadly, Ichigo lost his, on the day of the accident, in fact, it has been destroyed' thinking about it his mood started to worsen but he knew that a strong emotional state associated with the object was required to awaken those powers. He needed to remember those feelings, those instances, those moments, what it felt like to receive this gift, to wear it, when he lost his mother when he cried with this necklace as emotional support.

And as he dived further into those memories, long suppressed emotions showed their tails once again bringing him even deeper into this spiral of emotions. Like damn just broke, his spiritual energy burst out with incredible vigor, creating wind pressure all around and shockwaves all around. The collar around his neck seemed to disintegrate into particles before reforming under a new form, a brown cube-like object.

"The Cube of Order" Daiki unconsciously muttered, he somehow knew the name of the cube and how to use it, it was like the cube have always been part of him.

Trying his best to calm his ravaging emotions, Daiki let the cube float before him "so this is the feeling, this is spiritual energy, this is just... just... Incredible!" He was fascinated by this new feeling and was at a loss of how to describe it.

"Now, how do reign it in? I need to quickly get accustomed to this feeling and control it" he was worried that some people would feel his spiritual energy or even the pressure exerted by it and come investigate this place.

***

His soupçons were really funded as all around the Karakura town, some people could feel it.

In a small convenience store known as Urahara shop, Urahara, Yoruichi, and Tessai suddenly felt a great amount of spiritual pressure coming from somewhere.

"Whose spiritual pressure was this?" Tessai couldn't help but ask out loud what was on everyone's mind.

'An unknown captain level of spiritual pressure? And even more in the human world? It seems like things are getting more interesting' Urahara thought already calculating and readjusting his plans

"The spiritual pressure feels more like that of a hollow than a Shinigami" Urahara stated "Yoruichi!"

"I will investigate" adopting her more human form, Yoruichi rapidly clothed herself before taking out at a speed faster than the eye can see.

***

In the Kurosaki Household, Ishin who recently started regaining his spiritual powers easily recognized whose spiritual pressure it was but still didn't do anything about it.

Ichigo whose sensibility to spiritual pressure was mediocre due to his circumstance couldn't really feel it but even was suddenly taken by a feeling of familiarity but couldn't put his hand on it.

Rukia on the other hand felt the spiritual pressure and found it familiar but her interaction with Daiki not being that long, she couldn't know whose it was 'It is rather overwhelming' is all she could think about as of now.

***

'One, two, three, they are coming' Having somehow reigned on his spiritual Energy, Daiki recently awakened spiritual sense and picked up three spiritual energy resembling that of a hollow coming toward his position, worst is, he couldn't even fly as they were already at his door.

'I wanted to quickly evacuate before being spotted but since I have even been found by hollows, it means that I am probably already being observed by someone, it could be Urahara, Yoruichi, or even my father... and since they are all fairly strong if they wanted to hide, I as of right now have no way to find them' Daiki though, he wasted too much time trying to gain a minimum of control over his spiritual energy but it was not a step that could be avoided.

'I can do nothing about it anymore anyway, now what should I do about those hollows? Should I fight without weapons? The cube isn't combat-oriented after all' as he finished thinking, he could see three hollows in his now enhanced field of view and they seemed... slow? "I guess if Ichigo could do It I can also do it, but I still have no weapon" he muttered under his breath

"Guess I will do it the traditional way, with my fists and Legs" He rushed toward the nearest hollow while the cube assumed back Its original form.
