"So, you're saying, that this is an entirely new dimension, configured as a bookcafè, subordinate to you alone and directly connected to the Akashik Records? Akashik Records as in The Akashik Records? The Book that records all information of past, present and future? And anyone who enters here can learn whatever they want from here?"
"Almost. This dimension itself chooses the correct knowledge for you. Once you receive the corresponding book, you may sit down and order something to eat and drink while reading. After you are done, you can then try your new knowledge out in one of my trialpods, without any danger to yourself. In the end you will have to pay with something in your possession. This will happen in form of a contract, where you write the payment and your signature. As long as said object is rightfully yours it will then immediately be transferred into a subdimension. Should this fail you will have to undergo a fitting punishment."
'Hmm, since he already possesses an entire dimension just for himself, containing all the knowledge of the past, present and future, he should have complete knowledge on anything. So why does he need us to pay? Maybe so we don't take this for granted? Or maybe he has some other kinds of plans for the payment? And what does he mean with 'fitting punishment'? Somehow I get the feeling that I should avoid said punishment at all costs...'
(A/N: Yes, he most definitely has another plan for those things. As for the punishments, maybe a tip to Zelretch along with some support would be good?)
"I see. Then, would it be possible for me to begin reading?"
"Why, yes, of course! Just take this card, it is soulbound to you and allows access to this place, as well as communication with other customers. As for what book you will receive, I will leave it to the shop."
And with that a silvery white streak of light flew towards them, stopping in front of Urahara, revealing a silver book with the title 'Control and transformation of soul energy and avatars: intermediate'.
'Intermediate? So the shop classifies my knowledge and ability in my main field of research to be basic, at most intermediate, huh. Well, that just gives me the oportunity to learn and research more things even better!'
"Hoh, an intermediate grade book? You are the first in here to gain an intermediate grade book, the others either had a technique or started with the basics of another field of knowledge, serving to further their research. This could mean one of two things: you already know all the other necessary basics, or you are hopeless with anything else. Seeing you and your actions up until now, I'd tend to say it's the first option. Now, if you would choose a spot to read I could bring you some snacks and refreshments. After that you will be able to test your new knowledge in a trialpod."
"Aaah, right! I'll do just that!"
The second Urahara had taken a seat, he began reading, immersing himself to the degree, that he only took his eyes off the book to thank Rei, when he brought him said snacks and drinks.
After about three hours of extensive reading, he finally put down the book, closing his eyes and taking a moment to think about what he had read.
Instantly after opening his eyes again, he asked to enter a trialpod.
Rei, of course, agreed, led him to one, and then gave him a quick rundown on its workings and options. Then he just let Urahara experiment a bit and have some fun. Of wich, I must say, he had a lot, considering he now had the knowledge to think of different theses and try to prove them. After having a bit of fun with that, he suddenly remembered, that yoruichi was still waiting for him to come back, and that he would be royally f*cked, if he didn't come back anytime soon.
An angry cat is not something you want to mess with. Especially not one with supernatural abilities.
As such he left in a hurry, after writing a contract on a few artificial souls of his.

Hey Guys,
sorry I havent published recently, exams are coming up (again) and I just had zero inspiration. I just tried to work with what I already wrote last time on this, and it somehow worked, for the better or the worse. So, yeah... I'll try to write more, but can't guarantee anything.
