—[Soul Society]—
Falling abruptly on the surface of unknown territory, Darwin and the gang rub their backs in aching pain.
"Atleast we are alive somehow." Yoruichi scans the neighbouring area.
"Rukongai: West Sector." She murmurs, touching the surfaces of the dirt.
"Lead us to the safest and easiest route to Seireitei!" Darwin raises his arm like raising a torch.
Tessai quietly awaits for Yoruichi's orders while sweeping the dirt from his black haori.
"I think our best bet would be to use your Wall of Rule to climb Seireitei's huge walls."
Yoruichi placed her hopes onto Darwin's shoulders.
"…Possible. Not impossible. Granted, if I had enough resources to maintain the consistent usage." Darwin replied, stroking his chin in ponder.

—[Sekkiseki Walls]—
The trio bypassed the patrolling Soul Reapers with the help of Yoruichi's directions.
They were currently climbing on an incredibly sized wall, the protective barrier around Seireitei.
"Keep it up Darwin…" Yoruichi whispered, giving Darwin a massage while he concentrates.
"Almost there Darwin…" Tessai helps channel Darwin's inner Reishi manipulation skills to not destabilise.
"…" Darwin sweats the more he used Muro de Regla.
As the trio make their way to the very top, blocked by a massive globe barrier. The two main Kido users began applying their techniques.
Tessai positions himself next to Darwin, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"We don't need the entire wall, just a focused opening," Tessai murmurs, locking eyes with Darwin.
"I see... We reinforce the weak points and carve out a path," Darwin responds, his gaze sharpening as he focuses.
Tessai chants under his breath, weaving Bakudo and Hado techniques into the structure of Darwin's Muro de Regla.
"The layered Kido should maintain integrity and suppress any detection," Tessai explains calmly.
The two are delving into a interesting concept of the fusion between Ancient Kido, Muro de Regla and Bakudo and Hado techniques.
Darwin focuses on stabilising the Reishi streams, creating his protective wall. Tessai follows through by channeling Kido energy, binding the wall's structure and extending it like a key into the Sekkiseki barriers.
As Tessai's hands glow with Reishi, the Muro de Regla shudders but holds steady. A small, precise gap forms in the massive barrier, shimmering as it reacts to their combined power.
Yoruichi grins, crouching low as she senses success. "Perfect. You two make a good team."
Darwin wipes sweat from his brow, "Just don't expect me to do this again in five minutes."
Soon, the three were covered in Reiryoku hiding disguise, Urahara's most recent invention made for this mission.
It's a small plastic circle placed on their chest.
"Why didn't we do this at night?" Darwin asked while puffing from exhaustion.
Yoruichi giggles, "Because like you wanted, some action. Hehehe…"
"Yoruichi… Yoruichi… You've been influenced by Urahara a lot.." Tessai sighs, shaking his tired self.
"I am not that similar though…" She turns her head to side, curling her hair with her finger tips.
"At least this is better than Hueco Mundo…" Darwin rests for a bit, taking deep breaths here and there.
"Alright. Its time for u--" Cutting Darwin off with an abrupt push from the back. Darwin falls back looking all surprised as he views Yoruichi's cunning smile.
"Take care Darwin," while the time together was short, Tessai teared up knowing that it could be their last.
"We will come eventually. You go start some mayhem for me alright."
Continuing his fall, Darwin looks ahead understanding that every intention had a reason.
"I guess its time."
"Acid Carpet." Before, Darwin has purple coloured miasma. But, this new form utilises the colour green.
He swirls the green miasma, creating a solid cushion he could sit on.
This cushion acts as a switch. He can heal his body with five times the effectiveness. While he can also manifest it into a cloud which he would eventually call, Acid Rain.
Riding into the sunset, gazing across the massive platforms and structures. Darwin was at awe at was he was seeing.
"Ah... I didn't ask what the Seireitei Academy looked like." He scratches his head, "Damn you Urahara."

—[Seireitei: Sector 11]—
"Man... This is so boring." A black, spiked hair man, roughly two metres tall was sitting by a tree, gazing into the blazing sun.
"Ken-chan, why don't you fight our fellow squad members?" A small pink hair girl, shakes his left resting arm vigorously.
"I've fought them too many times. But they have yet to cause any meaningful scratches on my body. Tch—"
"Can't there be any opponents for me that gets my senses tingling?"
"Hah--?" Spitting out the leaf from his mouth, he saw and sensed a weird flux of Reishi.
He stood up and smiled like a maniac.
"HAHAHA!!! My wishes came true!" The mysterious spiked haired man sprints towards the Acid Carpet's line of direction.
Darwin who noticed the approaching figure thought maybe this person could give him directions to Seireitei's Academy.
Landing his acid carpet on the ground, and then it dissipates into thin air. Darwin awaits the approaching figure, anticipating their friendly banter.
"Yo!" The spiked hair man stands menacingly before him. His boiling Reiryoku is palpable, strong was an understatement when Darwin viewed him.
"Nice eyepatch you got there."
Darwin compliments, he follows up with a question, "How may I address you?"
The place the two are located is directly next to Division 11's Grounds, their open spaced courtyard.
"I've never seen you here before." The towering figure draws closer to Darwin, exerting pressure and confidence.
"Its because Ken-chan doesn't remember any weaklings you come by." The pink haired girl sits on top of the unknown man's shoulder, stating quite rudely.
"Well... I do think I am quite strong myself. My name is Darwin, nice to meet you."
Darwin leans in for a handshake, gesturing the two to do the same.
"Unfazed to my Reiatsu. Impressive." The spiked haired man grips Darwin's hand firmly, showing his initial good impression of Darwin.
"My name is Zaraki Kenpachi. The Captain of the 11th Squad. Lets fight to the death."
"Fight to the death?! Talk about a first introduction." Darwin smiles to such Hollow-like words coming from Kenpachi.
"Hehehe... My name is Yachiru Kusajishi. Ken-chan's Lieutenant." She drops down, shaking his hand also.
Kenpachi raises an eyebrow, clearly amused by Darwin's nonchalant attitude. "You got guts, I'll give you that. Most people would be shaking in their boots like a bunch of cowards."
Yachiru giggles, jumping on top of Kenpachi's shoulder. "Ken-chan, I like him! He's funny!" She twirls around, a mischievous grin on her face. "Can I keep him?"
Darwin, still grinning, holds up his hands. "Whoa, whoa! Let's not rush into anything just yet. I might be a little more than you bargained for!"
'Am I truly destined for battle? How come I am feeling so excited?' Darwin thought, feeling the intense moment he was having with these two strong individuals.
Kenpachi's expression turns serious for a moment, his Reiryoku flaring as he takes a step closer. "That's what I want to find out. Let's see if you can back up that mouth of yours!"
Feeling the pressure of Kenpachi's aura, Darwin's smile remains unwavering. "Alright, then. Just remember—" He takes a deep breath, readying himself, "I didn't come here to die."
