"Is it soft?"

A familiar teasing voice came from the room. Akira reluctantly lifted his head from the fragrant and soft embrace that almost sealed him.

The white captain's haori, a gentle yet slightly mischievous smile, and a flawless face belonged to Unohana Retsu, the captain of the 4th Division, who had come to visit Tessai.

However, the one teasing Akira was not her, but someone else. Seeing the dark-skinned girl suddenly appear in front of him, Akira recalled the time she almost twisted his arm off, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What is she doing here?"

The girl smiled slyly, revealing a sharp white fang, and said unabashedly, "You must be thinking that, right?"

Akira didn't admit it, glancing aside to avoid eye contact. Unfortunately, he met Unohana's smiling eyes. She didn't seem to mind Akira's offense and gently smiled, "Although our encounter was a bit offensive, Kisaragi-kun and I are really fated. How about considering joining the 4th Division after graduation?"

At the end of her sentence, an inexplicable chill came over, and her slightly raised mouth corner looked like a blood-stained scimitar, giving a chilling feeling.

Sensing the malice from the gentle woman in front of him, Akira regretted not staying longer. He had only stayed for a few seconds and already gambled away his future, which seemed like a bad deal. Given his current value, he should have stayed at least half a point longer, and without clothes!

"Actually, such things can't be forced," Akira explained, "Just now, Teacher Kaede gave me a major demerit, and whether I can graduate is still uncertain."

The dark-skinned girl beside him nodded in agreement, "That's right! Boy, don't let a woman's beauty blind you. Captain Unohana is beautiful, but her suitors can line up from the White Road Gate to the Blue Stream Gate. With your small frame, it's hard to compete with them."

She then changed her tone, her golden eyes twinkling slyly, "Why not join our 2nd Division? You can start as an officer and later be promoted to vice-captain. Most importantly, there are many young and beautiful girls in the 2nd Division. With your power and status, just a little effort, and…"

Listening to Yoruichi's blueprint, Akira couldn't help but feel tempted, his eyes seeing a beautiful future. But he quickly snapped out of it and turned his head disdainfully, "I'm not that shallow. You underestimate me."

Hearing this, both women showed surprised expressions, and even Tessai, wrapped like a mummy, looked impressed. They didn't expect such a firm and decisive heart under Akira's frivolous appearance.

Yoruichi pondered for a moment, priding herself on her ability to read people, and Akira almost had the word "lecherous" written on his face. In a normal situation, he would have instinctively retreated, but he didn't dodge at all, showing his true nature.

"Then…" Yoruichi rubbed her small chin thoughtfully, "How about I introduce you to two girls first? I remember a girl who just joined the Punishment Force, named Soi Fon, petite and cute, with a high face value…"

Before she finished, Akira's eyes curved, and he grinned, "As expected of you, you have a good eye! Time and place, I'll be there!"

Yoruichi was stunned, unable to keep up with Akira's thoughts. Even Unohana was taken aback. As for Tessai, he silently retracted his previous evaluation of Akira.

After some banter, they skipped the topic. Even if the Shin'ō Academy had early graduation regulations, Akira still needed to complete all courses this semester. A qualified Shinigami must meet both strength and theoretical knowledge standards. Otherwise, his only option would be the 11th Division.

As for who could recruit Akira after graduation, it would depend on their abilities. Both Yoruichi and Unohana exchanged a knowing glance, seemingly seeing sparks in each other's eyes.

"So, Kisaragi-kun, why are you here today?" Tessai asked curiously. Akira took out three boxes of deluxe eggs. Tessai was surprised, not expecting this unreliable student to have such a thoughtful gesture. It seemed that people weren't inherently bad, just a bit lecherous.

"Thank you for your kindness," Tessai said, accepting the gift, causing Akira's expression to change slightly.

[Tessai's trust level reached, sign-in condition met]

[Character sign-in: Tessai]

[Obtained Kido level +5, current level 28]

[Obtained spiritual pressure level +2, current level 55]

[Obtained exclusive entry: Ingenious]

[Ingenious: A true master always has the heart of an apprentice. The path of Kido is endless, and Kido innovation efficiency is increased by 100%!]

Akira's eyes lit up. He didn't expect three boxes of deluxe eggs to win over Tessai, a real bargain. Tessai noticed the boy's unusual expression but didn't ask much. Given his relatively shallow moral baseline, it was hard to guess what he was thinking.

"Since you're fine, Teacher Tessai, I won't disturb you any longer," Akira said, preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tessai spoke, "Please wait a moment, Kisaragi-kun. Although it's a bit inappropriate, I think it's necessary to mention."

Hearing this, both Unohana and Yoruichi felt a sudden unease.

"Actually, with your talent…"

Tessai scratched his head with his bandaged right hand and smiled awkwardly, "If you join the Kido Corps, I can promise you the same treatment and status as the Grand Kido Chief. Also, there are many beautiful girls in the Kido Corps. And if you can bring Aizen along, that would be even better."

Hearing this, both women abandoned their rivalry and looked at Tessai in shock. They didn't expect him to betray their camp!
