Coming to Terms

It's been a few hours, close to a day since the group known as the Espada and Gin arrived in the strange new world. It was taking a lot of time of getting used to for some. Aaroneiro and Yammy were no longer craving human souls, a few more were getting used to their altered bodies while the rest were trying out their powers.

Szayelaporro was sitting next to Nnoitra who was testing out a small ball of yellow energy as he shot it at the wall. The Arrancar scientist inspected the power as he wrote down in his notes before standing up.

Szayelaporro: Cero, check... Alright, it seems that we are able to still use our

basic Hollow abilities. Cero, Bala, Hierro, Sonido and Pesquisa.

Nnoitra: Although it's all seemed limited somehow.

Zommari is seen sitting on a stool in a meditation position as he opened his

eye.

Zommari: It truly is an unforseen situation.

Aaroneiro: I know, I haven't had an urge to eat souls since we got here. Not being spirits anymore is hard to adjust to.

Starrk is seen laying down sleeping on a couch with Lilynette fast asleep on top of him, Harribel stood against a wall as she and Barragan stayed silent the longest. Grimmjow walks into the room as Yammy spots him.

Yammy: Where have you been Grimmjow?

Grimmjow: None of your business.... Did Gin get back yet?

Harribel: No, he's still out there. Hope he's able to find something to help us understand this world.

Szayelaporro sets the pad of paper down as he stands up and walks over to the window, smiling as he stares off into the city.

Szayelaporro: I hope so too. From the short experience we had out there, I became invested with the fascinating subjects of this world... In truth, I think that this will be very fruitful.

Grimmjow looks around as he spots something different.

Grimmjow: Hey, where'd Ulquiorra go?

The group all looked around as they noticed that the 4th Espada was in fact gone.

The breeze was blowing softly as the scene changes to show a clean beach that had a clear view of a beautiful horizon.

Along the shoreline, Ulquiorra was standing at the edge of the water as he simply stared at it before looking down to his hand.

Ulquiorra: 'I could still feel it... That power that was used to end my life. Even after my life had been taken... I can finally understand, what a heart is.'

Ulquiorra slowly placed his hand on his chest as he remembered the last

thing he saw before dying, the face of the girl who had made such an impact on his mind and understanding

"Orihime: I'm not afraid.... Really, I'm not."

Ulquiorra: 'She was so sure of her friends that she stared death in the face, but.... in the end I grew to understand what she meant by two people are of one heart. Ichigo Kurosaki, I hope you kept her safe like you said. However....! Ulquiorra pulled his hand away from his chest as he aimed a single finger out towards the horizon as green energy started to form as he fired the blast out into the sea, causing the waves to separate on impact.

Ulquiorra: Now that I understand... I don't know what to do with this new knowledge.

???: Um, excuse me. Young man?

Ulquiorra attention was taken as he slowly turned his head to behind his shoulder where he spots a tall lanky man with blond hair and a skeleton-like face, he wore a baggy set of clothes as they looked to be several sizes bigger than him. Next to him was a teenager with unruly green hair and a nervous look on his face.

Ulquiorra: Can I help you with something?

???1: Well, we were just arriving when we saw you fire that blast. You are

aware that using your quirk in public without a license is deemed illegal, right son?

Ulquiorra's face didn't change as he stared at the two.

Ulquiorra: "Quirk?" What is that? Is that like a heart?

???1: Heart? What's your name son?

Ulquiorra: Ulquiorra Cifer, I am known as Espada No.4.

Toshinori: 'Espada?' I am Toshinori Yagi, and this is my student Izuku Midoriya.

Ulquiorra turned to look at Midoriya as the boy looked nervous before his eyes saw the sheathed sword that was attached to Ulquiorra's waist.

Midoriya: Woah, that's a cool sword!

Ulquiorra: Hm? Yes, I suppose it is compared to other Zanpakutos. But back to your previous statement, you mentioned something about a quirk, what exactly is that?

Toshinori: W-well, uh, a quirk is an ability that around 80% of the world possess. They range from emitters, mutations and transformations. You mean to tell me that the blast you fired wasn't a quirk?

Ulquiorra shook his head as he raised his hand to form a small green ball as he looks back at the two who stare in astonishment.

Ulquiorra: This is known as a Cero, we Arrancar are able to fire these by using our spiritual pressure.

Midoriya: What's spiritual pressure?

Toshinori: Did you say, "we?" Are there more of you?

Ulquiorra: Yes, around 12 counting myself. We just arrived here and we are having some time adjusting to your.... area's customs.

Ulquiorra had enough common sense not to reveal that the Espada and Gin are from another dimension. He was managing to get some information about this new world.

Midoriya: Oh, you're from outside the country? That's so cool! Where are you from? What exactly is your quirk? Does it have anything to do with your sword? And is that white mask on your head from a mutation or is it

natural?...

Toshinori chopped Midoriya on the top of his head as he cuts the boy off from his rapid muttering.

Toshinori: That's enough young Midoriya, don't break the young man's head with so many questions.

Ulquiorra: My group is from a very small, secluded area not known by many. My mask is a part of me but can be appear and disappear on command. My quirk as you said could be related to my Zanpakuto, which is sealed now, I highly expect to use it's power unless absolutely necessary.

Toshinori looks at the Espada with shock as blood spurts out of his mouth.

Toshinori: You could understand all that?!

Midoriya: Wow, your sword holds your power? That's really cool, I never heard of that before! Do you go to UA?

Ulquiorra: UA?

Toshinori: He means UA High School. It's that big building over across the city.

Midoriya: It's currently closed due to the attack that happened yesterday, but

I think it's still great place to become heroes!

Ulquiorra looked over to see the building in question in the distance as he returned his attention to the two.

Ulquiorra: No, I don't attend to this "UA." My group just got here.

Midoriya: O-oh, sorry. It makes sense since the school has already completed the entrance exams.

Toshinori: Well, I suppose we took too much of your time Young Cifer. But remember, no quirks in public, alright?

Ulquiorra nodded as the teacher and student left with Midoriya waving

goodbye, leaving the Espada member to look back over to the High School in the distance.

Ulquiorra: Hmm...

Back to Gin, the former Soul Reaper was walking down the street taking in any more information that would be helpful to the situation. He noticed a few differences in the appearance of others as he walked by and a man wearing an odd outfit as he waved at the normal civilians.

Gin continues to walk until he finds himself stopping at what appears to be a library.

His eyebrow lifts up as he gained an interest as he walked up the stairs to enter the building. Inside the building were numerous amounts of shelves filled with books.

Gin: Oh dear..... This appears to be more tasking than I thought.

Gin immediately hit the shelves as he tried his best to find something about the history of this world, but so far he found nothing. Gin decided to ask for help as he looked around, he soon saw a woman sitting at a table reading through a few books with a pen in her mouth. She had long messy black hair with bangs that perfectly covered everything but her eyes which were a light blue with a small pair of glasses resting on her nose. The woman wore a tight black long-sleeved shirt and jeans with a simple pair of shoes.

Gin walked over and addressed the woman.

Gin: Excuse me miss?

The woman looked over to get a good look at the man as her eyes widen slightly before fixing her glasses and her posture before addressing Gin. ???: May I help you?

Gin: Yes, sorry for bothering you. But I'm new to the area and I'm completely lost. Could you point me in the direction to where the books on world history would be?

???: Oh, sure. Follow me.

The woman stood up and begun walking as Gin followed. As the two walked, the woman stole a few glances at Gin, as she noticed his strange robes and eerily wide smile.

Gin: I don't believe we've been introduced. My name is Gin Ichimaru, but feel free to call me Gin.

Nemuri: Nice to meet you Gin. I'm Nemuri Kayama or you might know me as Midnight.

Gin: Midnight? Nope, never heard of you. Sorry.

Midnight looks away with a comedic pout and tears in the corner of her eyes from not being recognized.

Midnight: Hmph.

Gin: Apologizes, I didn't mean to offend you in any way. Could you please continue to show me the books?

Midnight looked at him still with the pout before it drops as she continued to walk over through the library shelves. After some time, they arrived in the history section as Midnight checked the area before smiling.

Midnight: Here it is. All of world history, right here!

Gin: Wow, I appreciate the help. Do you perhaps know a few that would be great for research purposes?

Midnight: Research? Sure, let me see...

Midnight looks throughout the shelves and finds a few books, a cute grin

rests on her face as she happily heads back to Gin handing him a small pile of books.

Midnight: These are some of my favorites.

Gin: Gee, you definitely love history, huh?

Midnight bashfully smiles as she shuffles in place.

Midnight: W-well, I work as a teacher and I like to touch up on my lesson material. Today was an off day to work on improving security so I had some free time.

Gin: Security? Do you perhaps work at that school that got attacked the other day? That UA Academy?

Midnight: Yes, I'm the Modern Hero Art History teacher. It's so great, to sharpen the minds of future youths is something that drives me!

She said with an overall excitement that made Gin sweatdrop as she looked back at him with a smile.

Midnight: Sorry, I get a little excited about that sort of thing. So what did you need those books for?

Gin: Heh, you're a little nosey aren't you, Miss Midnight?

Midnight: Hey, drop the "Miss" you make me sound old! You can call me Midnight or Nemuri is you prefer.

Gin: Alright Nemuri... For your question, myself and a small group arrived in this city about a day ago and we're currently having trouble getting adjusted. So I decided to try to help get them all situated with some basic knowledge, you know, teach what I can.

Midnight looks at him confused as her mind went back to the rest of the group.

Midnight: Wait, you traveled here with a group?

Gin: Well, it was an unexpected surprise when we arrived here. Everyone else seems to be having a hard time, seeing as though... They... Haven't had proper schooling yet.

Gin had to think fast for a cover story due to the whole reincarnated thing that he was hoping to avoid bringing up.

Midnight: They're kids?

Gin: More around the teenager section if that helps some it up. So far I only hope to educate them as much as I can.

Midnight's face lit up as she ran up to grab onto Gin before shaking his shoulders.

Midnight: Have you considered applying them at UA? We are always looking for more students to help guide into the a brighter future! We could help you with educating them and making sure that everything is taken care of!

Gin: N-nemuri, I appreciate your offers but I can't leave those, uh, kids around without any real supervision! I'm the only one who can make sure they behave properly!

Midnight: Then we can get you a job at the school! I know the Principal so I can have him set up an interview for you in the next few hours! What do you say?!

Gin was nervous as he got himself caught in an odd yet unescapable position with this woman who was still grabbing onto him. Gin could only sigh as he looks back at Midnight.

Gin: ....What time would be good?

Midnight: I'll call Nezu and get you an interview for around 4:30 today, just bring the information on the students and some for yourself and he'll look them over. Oh, and don't worry about the books, I'll tell the librarian to put them on my account. Just don't be late in turning them in.

Gin: Thank you... I hope the next time we meet it will be very soon. Bye-bye for now!

Gin quickly walked off as he made his way back to the hideout.

Back at the hideout, the Espada were all sitting around looking at Gin with mixed expressions as he had just explained the whole new problem for their situation.

Nnoitra: You're kidding, right?

Barragan: How foolish are you?

Yammy: "School?" What the hell was going through your mind?!

Gin: I was just trying to avoid topics of our origins, we can't go around telling people we're from another world.

Harribel stood away from the group as she spoke up on her own opinion.

Harribel: It's not like we can hide forever here. Sooner or later, someone would've found us and then we'd have a whole new problem.

Grimmjow: You can't be seriously agreeing with this school crap?! We're fighters not students!

Szayelaporro: This is all very interesting!

Everyone looks over to see Szayelaporro reading through the books that Gin brought as the scientist was more suited for knowledge and skills regarding the information.

Szayelaporro: This world focuses on a hierarchy of heroes and villains, which was established long ago when the hero's act was made. Apparently UA and Shiketsu Academy are the top ranked schools of heroics in this country, it's fascinating!

Grimmjow: Yeah, yeah sure! But I don't want to be stuck around doing boring crap when we can do whatever else is out there!

Ulquiorra: I suggest we take the opportunity.

Suddenly everyone looks over to Ulquiorra who was standing by the

doorway. The group plus Gin were surprised by his interest.

Ulquiorra: We are all in this situation, we have nothing to work with... So if

this is the best way to make something of ourselves in this new world we live in.... We might as well make the most of it.

Everyone was shocked by the show of compassion from the fourth Espada, as Starrk, Lilynette, Harribel, Szayelaporro and Zommari stood up.

Harribel: I agree.

Szayelaporro: Same here.

Starrk: Fine by me.

Lilynette: Let's do it!

Zommari: It will be sufficient.

Suddenly it was Seven to five as the remaining Espada didn't have much of a choice in agreement. Yammy and Aaroneiro were fine with whatever as Nnoitra and Grimmjow only agreed to shut everyone up. Barragan only gave a defeated grunt which was a sign that he agreed. Gin smiled as everyone was on the same page before he turned to Szayelaporro.

Gin: Szayel? I'm going to need your help with some transcript before 4:00. Can you do it?

The eighth Espada looked at Gin before grinning widely.

Szayelaporro: Oh, you doubt me my good man... You doubt me.

-Timeskip-

Gin was seen sitting down in an office seat as he stared confused by the small rodent-like creature wearing a suit and reading the papers at his desk before addressing Gin.

Nezu: I know you're probably thinking, what am I? A bear, a mouse, or a dog? Though the only important thing is...I'm the principal!

Gin: Uh, I see...

Nezu: Now Mister Ichimaru, I'm surprised by how well these files are detailed. Your last place of business must've been very successful! Also the details on these children are extremely interesting, these "Zanpakutos" they carry also function as their quirks. I've never seen anything like that in my life. But now I suppose the real question is, what do you suppose you want to do at UA? Gin raised an eyebrow at the Principal's question as he realized it was about now about him as Gin thinks back to his time as Aizen's "Subordinate" and all the things he was forced to do throughout the time of his service.

Gin: I... I want to watch over those students and make sure they're are taken care of. And I am happy to help teach whatever I can in order to do so. Nezu continues to stare at Gin as he hopped out of the chair as he walked over to Gin before smiling holding his hand up for Gin to take.

Nezu: Welcome aboard, Gin Ichimaru. We'll see you and the new students tomorrow. Have them here early tomorrow to get their uniforms and find your classroom for introductions afterwards.

Gin: Of course. I can't wait to work with you sir, this will be an honor.

Gin takes Nezu's hand as the two accepted the terms of the newest teacher and Students of UA High School.
