On the third day of training, Akeno is preparing breakfast for everyone in the training ground. Ever since the talk she had with Koneko on the first day they arrive here, she became meek and only watch Koneko from the side and prepared all living necessities for everyone. Kisuke doesn't know what happened to her and Koneko when he left them, but he wouldn't refuse free help. He even started teaching her some techniques in housekeeping to elevate her efficiency.
Akeno did everything is was told and listened to every word he spoke which almost creeped out Kisuke, but with Aika trying her everything to pour the frustration of her training to Kisuke because of the machines that he invented to accelerate training, Kisuke didn't mind Akeno much. Aside from 'Dodgeball of Death', Yoruichi also used 'Treadmill of Death', 'Jumprope of Death', 'Obstacle course of Death', 'Balance ball of Death', 'Stress ball of Death' and many more which are all devised by Kisuke and all named by Aika.
In between the 'Death Sentences', Yoruichi would teach Aika Flash Step, basic Zanjutsu and basic Hakuda. Due to her awakened nature as a Shinigami, she's learning everything at a remarkable pace. Although all this time, she hasn't transformed into Shinigami due to her lacking Reiatsu-Ki she can use.
Kisuke also made some candy pills that he infused with his own Reiatsu-Ki for Aika to take and temporarily activate her Shinigami powers but he chooses to hide it first as she doesn't need it now.
Throughout Koneko's meditation, if she's not doing anything, Akeno is always 20 meters around her. During her watch, Akeno would sometimes witness Koneko's cat ears would catch some white flames. Akeno immediately asks Kisuke about this phenomenon and the latter only laughs and found it intriguing which frustrates Akeno more. Kisuke accompanied her to watch how is Koneko and also witnessed these white flames, "Hooh~... So that's it... It looks like she already has some success which is good news. Don't worry about her too much, Himejima-san. She's doing great."
"What are those white flames?" Akeno couldn't help but asks.
"I'm not really sure... But if I have to say something, it's probably the attribute which she is most adept with." Kisuke rubbed his chin as he answers.
"Why are you letting her do this if even you don't know about this?" Akeno turned to his direction and felt incredulous at this reckless guy.
"Because I think it's the most effective way to prime Senjutsu. Remember this, No matter how strong you become, you shouldn't neglect control as that is more important. As for why, you have to think about it yourself." Kisuke replied to her and turned around to get back to his Power Collector and check some of its properties and if they'll be useful for something.
"What if you can get stronger but you have to use a power that you don't like?" Akeno suddenly asks at Kisuke's leaving back.
Kisuke stopped walking but didn't turn around, "Set your priorities straight. Like any other adults tell you, separate what you want and what you need. If you can have or protect what you need by using a power that you hate, then the answer for me is pretty obvious. You're extremely fortunate that you have a choice like that. Others don't even get a chance to protect what's left of them. Don't be a spoiled brat." He then resumed walking.
Akeno was pissed at his last words and about to call out to him, but as she processes his first words, she stopped her self and fell into another deep contemplation about herself. As her thought process advances, she bit her lips and clenched her fist. Akeno understood what he means but she still can't accept it. She really is a spoiled brat.
Koneko finished her training session and opened her eyes which was greeted by Akeno's frustrated face, "Akeno-senpai, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing! How are you? Are you done? I've prepared food for you, but if you want to bath first, Urahara-kun said that you can use the hot spring." Akeno stood up and immediately returned to her normal expression.
"Then I would like to take a bath first." Koneko didn't think more about it because she felt Kisuke's aura slowly moving away from here, 'Kisuke-senpai probably said something to her again.'

On the fifth day of training, Akeno prepared to leave but only Koneko and Kisuke are present to send her off. Yoruichi and Aika are still playing their death games. Aika would even sometimes provoke Yoruichi to release some of her stress. Kisuke thinks that she's getting addicted to the stimulus that near-death situations produce, "She's broken." Yoruichi couldn't disagree with Kisuke.
"Koneko-chan... I have to go... Please take care of yourself." Akeno patted Koneko's head and she nodded. Akeno then faced Kisuke, "Thank you for taking care of me these past three days. I won't forget your words." Akeno bowed slightly towards him.
Kisuke nodded with a serious expression and said, "As your teacher, I have nothing else to teach you with the way of housekeeping. But this isn't certainly the end of your journey. Go forth and start your adventure Master Maid. Wherever you go, you'll become a fine maid."
"Wait! That's not what I talking ab---" Before she could say more, Kisuke, with a wave his fan, sent Akeno outside with teleportation magic.
"Kisuke-senpai... I think she wants to say something." Koneko's mouth twitches at Kisuke rude act.
"Dun wanna heart it." Kisuke grinned and started walking back, "Let's go Koneko. Ignore that Apprentice Maid for now. You're the only one who has the possibility to beat that Fried Chicken. We'll start your training now."
"Apprentice? Didn't you say she's already a master?"
"She doesn't deserve it due to the way she acts."
Koneko tilted her head in confusion.
"... bout!... Where is this?" Somewhere within the Kuoh Town, Akeno suddenly appeared inside a cosplay shop that specializes in maid attires. Akeno was dumbfounded at her situation and recalled Kisuke's last words to her, 'That bastard seriously thinks that I'm a maid now!?' A note suddenly dropped in front of her and she picked it up. Written in it is Kisuke's message, "Before you start your adventure, an armor that will accompany you to your countless battles. By the way, I recommend you take the one at the corner of the shop 2nd item from the last one on the 3rd aisle."
Out of curiosity, she followed his direction and saw a skimpy maid outfit that reveals her underboob and plump legs is she is to wear it. "That bastard! And how did he know such obscure shop like the back of his palm?" Akeno then proceeds to read the rest of his message, "I discovered it by chance and I thought that it'll be useful for something like this. Praise me!"
Akeno wanted to spit on the paper but due to her upbringing, she can't do such uncouth action, "F^ck you! What useful!? You pervert!" But she couldn't stop herself from cursing out loud. "The first thing you have to do is to keep that temper of yours. Your master wouldn't like it unless he/she has some special hobby."
Reaching this point, Akeno crumpled the paper without reading further and incinerating it with her lightning. Strangely enough, as the ashes fell to the floor, it formed words, "Geez, don't use magic in public. That's common sense! I shall demote you to Apprentice Maid Akeno-chan for this act! I hope you learn your lesson!"
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Akeno's shout filled with anger echoed throughout the shop and the street it is in. She had to use magic to erase the memories of those who witness her and walked out of the shop with flushed face, "I'll remember this, you damned pervert!"
