[[This is a translation so please don't hate me for the developments. I will try to remove shitty brainrot scenes with better ones but it is from a MTL ... so please no bashing in the comments for the plot. I am just a translator after all.]]

=============================================================================

[Character Sign-In: Unohana Retsu]

[Obtained Swordsmanship Level +3, Current Level: 63]

[Obtained Spiritual Pressure Level +3, Current Level: 49]

[Obtained Exclusive Entry: Shikei no Megumi]

[Shikei no Megumi: The speed of drawing the sword and the power of swordsmanship are both increased by 100%! (Hidden Effect: ???)]

(t/n: basically means mercy of death sword)

Akira's expression was slightly twisted, exaggerated with uncontrollable joy. His previously sore arms and body miraculously recovered. He thought the beating was for nothing, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise!

Unohana's trust level reached the required standard, completing the character sign-in. The increase in spiritual pressure and swordsmanship was just a bonus. After all, with his current talent, reaching the corresponding level wouldn't take much time.

But the exclusive entry was different. So far, he had signed in countless times, daily, monthly, yearly, location sign-ins, character sign-ins, and accumulated only six entries. But each entry's effect was enough to make his strength leap forward.

The only slightly insufficient [Miraculous Hands] also summoned Unohana, reaching the trust level standard, thus obtaining the [Shikei no Megumi] entry. The increase in sword drawing speed and swordsmanship power alone was worth the beating.

This wave, blood earned!

The only downside was the mention of an unknown hidden effect in this exclusive entry. At this stage, he seemed unable to know its true content.

After the morning swordsmanship class ended, Akira finally met the long-awaited steward of the Kuchiki family. A young man named Ginjiro Shirogane. He brought the one million Kan promised by Sōjun Kuchiki.

Looking at the boy in front of him, who looked like a miser, Ginjiro frowned deeply, increasingly feeling that Sōjun-sama had no business acumen. Although this amount of money was nothing to the Kuchiki family, it wasn't blown by the wind either. Giving it to such a person was like throwing it away.

Thinking of this, Ginjiro shook his head and sighed, feeling a sense of misplaced trust. Fortunately, Akira didn't know what this guy was thinking, otherwise, he would have shown him what [Shikei no Megumi] meant.

"Akira-sama, the money is settled now."

Ginjiro collected his thoughts, perfectly hiding his emotions. As a vassal of the Kuchiki family, he had learned not to question the master's affairs, no matter how unreasonable they were.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Ginjiro stood up to leave, but before he could fully stand, a hand suddenly pressed him down.

"No rush."

Akira leaned in, his expression serious, "A rich fool like Sōjun-sama, oh no, a wealthy young master, is a rare species. Please remind him not to rely too much on the amulet."

"The only one who can truly protect oneself is oneself."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Ginjiro's eyes showed a hint of displeasure. What kind of talk was this?! Insulting the master in front of his servant?

But hearing the second half, his mood eased a bit. The miserly boy in front of him, although lacking in many ways, at least had a bit of conscience.

"I understand."

Ginjiro bowed slightly, "I will report these words to Sōjun-sama exactly."

After sending off Ginjiro, Akira immediately pulled the hardworking Aizen from his temporary dormitory.

In the teacher's office, Kaede Runya looked at the proud Akira and the stack of bills, sweating profusely. After thinking for a long time, he whispered, "Akira, I know you are usually mischievous, but you are evil at heart."

"Before anyone knows, escape early."

"I have an old acquaintance, Ikkanzaka Jiichiro, who guards the Hakutōmon. You can prove your mission and go to the White Road Gate, then escape to West Rukongai."

(t/n: is that Jidanbo's pops or gamps cuz their surnames are same)

"This way, the Gotei-13 won't have the energy to…"

Bang!

Before Kaede Runya could finish, Akira slammed the table, interrupting him.

"Teacher Kaede, don't slander me out of nowhere!"

"This money is clean, from that rich fool Sōjun Kuchiki…"

Hearing this, Kaede Runya's eyes widened, his lips trembling, his face full of disbelief, and he whispered hoarsely:

"You, you actually robbed Sōjun-sama?"

Aizen, watching the dramatic scene, shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand, nor could he. Akira was like a virus that, after spending time with him, people's thinking would unconsciously change.

Teacher Kaede was a typical example.

"What are you talking about?"

Akira angrily said, "That rich fool couldn't even come up with ten thousand rings. This was sent by the Kuchiki family's steward, Ginjiro."

"Then you kidnapped Sōjun-sama…"

"No!" Akira was furious, "It was just a business deal, its all legal!"

People always had prejudices against him.

Kaede Runya looked suspiciously. Knowing Akira, this money shouldn't have come so easily. But since he swore it was legitimate, he couldn't dwell on it.

As long as his student hadn't committed any major crimes, he was willing to be lenient.

"As long as you haven't done anything wrong."

Kaede Runya sighed in relief, "Then your debt with the Shin'ō Academy is cleared."

"Since you're here, I have something to discuss with you."

Akira looked puzzled.

"You might remember, I mentioned before."

Kaede Runya took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat and calmly said:

"Due to the current headmaster being away on a mission, the Shin'ō Academy is now temporarily headed by the Captain-Commander."

"He has considered the gap in strength between elite students and ordinary students and decided to implement a new teaching method."

"Regular teaching no longer benefits geniuses like you."

"So, it's time for you to experience real combat."

Kaede Runya's expression became more serious, his tone filled with rare seriousness:

"In the 32nd district of East Rukongai, a horrifying massacre of civilians occurred recently."

"Your task is to investigate the truth, arrest or kill the culprit!"

"As students, you must learn to conduct yourselves as a Shinigami!"
