As Kai walked down the hallways of the school, he could feel the sharp gazes of the students looking at him. Well... at his Zanpakutō's. Feeling his sudden rise in popularity, he was feeling incredibly smug.
"Just because your a little bit more well known, doesn't mean you can act more smug."
The voice of Kurenai echoed in his ears, prompting him to panic. He whispered to himself,
"I thought we agreed that no one else should find out you can talk?"
"Are you stupid? I'm communicating to you, by using a special Reishi frequency like the other Hell butterfly's."
"Others? Your a one of them too?"
"Wasn't it obvious enough? Who do you think brought you to the other side of the Senkaimon gate?"
Kai wanted to keep speaking to him, but if he whispered to himself too much, everyone would think he was insane, but it was too late as he had already started receiving weird looks from others.
He quickly tried to escape however he felt the powerful Spiritual Pressure of three students approaching him. The others sensing this immediately ran away.
Once they got closer, he saw 2 students wearing the boys uniform and 1 wearing the girls.
One of the boys with white hair and yellow eyes, randomly runs up to Kai, before aggressively grabbing him by the shoulders.
"Woahh! You really do have two Zanpakutō! Let's fight, like right now!"
He wasn't evil so to say, but very enthusiastic about wanting to battle. Kai tried to decline, but his loud voice echoed over his.
Then suddenly the purple haired girl behind him, smashed her fist into the top of his head, while screaming his name.
"SENJURO! What did we say about harassing 1st years to fight you? Did you learn nothing from last time?"
He rubbed his head as he rolled over on the floor, due to them pain. Of the three, the student with dark blue hair and glasses, calmy apologized to him on Senjuro's behalf.
"I'm sorry about his behaviour. He is a bit of a battle freak, but he's a good guy at heart."
Taking this apology with half a heart, Kai looked at Senjuro who was still rolling on the floor while the girl kicked him. For a brief moment he was reminded about being beaten up by Hoshino.
For a brief moment Kai felt something strange about Senjuro. It wasn't his unusual hair or eye colour, but rather an abnormality in his Spiritual Pressure.
The blue haired student, taking notice of this, changed kai's attention onto something else.
"My name is Kitagawa Haruki, she is Yoko Shizagawa, and that boy who bothered you just now is Senjuro Takami. As you can see we are all 3rd years."
Kai's eyes widened with glee and excitement as he said,
"So you're all going to become Soul Reapers at the end of this year? That's so cool!"
"Nah I'm going to join the Kido corps. Soul Reaping, really isn't for me."
Kai's attitude dulled very quickly, as he scoffed at him with a sigh of disappointment.
"Ah.. How boring.."
"BORING?? I'LL SHOW YOU BORING!"
He suddenly grabbed Kai by the neck while shaking him violently. As he did he hurled a wave of vulgar insults, mocking him and his current position.
"WHAT? JUST BECUASE YOU HAVE TWO ZANPAKUTOS, YOU THINK YOUR AUTOMATCIALLY BETTER THAN EVERYONE? WAKE UP TO REALITY, IM 10 TIMES THE SOUL REAPER THAT YOU WILL EVER BE AND I DON'T EVEN NEED TO BECOME ONE TO PROVE IT! YOUR EXISTENCE IS DEFINED BY HOW MUCH OF A JOKE YOU ARE! SPEAKING OF JOKES, YOUR MOTHER CREATED ONE AFTER 9 MONTHS AND EVEN THEN, NO ONE LAUGHED! WHY?? BECAUSE YOUR MORE DISAPPOINTING THEN A-"
The scabbard of a Zanpakutō then smashed into the right side of his head, swatting him away as well as knocking of the glasses on his head.
Yoko, who knocked the two boys unconscious, simply made a cheerful smile before dragging them away.
"Why are all the girls in this school savage beasts?"
Eventually Kai made it to his first Hakuda class after arriving to class one, which was now in an open field of sand unlike the indoor gym of class 3.
Upon arriving, he saw that everyone was already engaged in some kind of hand to hand combat while a teacher watched them all.
He was handsome young man with a lean, muscular build. He has blue eyes, tan skin, and black hair tied in a ponytail reaching his lower back. He didn't wear the traditional, Shihakushō but one that was fashioned into something resembling a martial artists gi.
He jumped down from his stand, and seemingly teleported behind Kai using his flash step.
"So fast!"
He made an incredibly intimidating face, as he looked down on Kai using the height difference between the two.
"So your Kai Kurenai, the student who got moved up? Can you explain why your 10 minutes late?"
"Instructor Ryu?! I was- um- delayed?"
He then pointed out towards Yuki and said, "My star pupil! Why don't you beat some sense into this guy for me?"
Kai and Yuki made brief eye contact. Even without uttering any word, Kai's eyes were seemingly begging for mercy. Yuki knew this, but decided to spar with him anyway.
Kai started to panic, and looked in the gathering crowd for help. He saw Shido who made eye-contact with him, but quickly looked away afterwards for fear of his life.
"Sorry Kai, the stupid die first."
Yuki was irritated. She couldn't beat Melqart without releasing her Zanpakutō, and even then she came out of the fight with decent injuries. But Kai on the other-hand beat the leader of the Fullbring assassination team, without even using Shikai.
This irritated her. Knowing that there was someone in this year stronger than her. She wanted to know.
Without even giving a signal, she immediately lashed out towards Kai as she prepared a right jab.
Just before her fist connected with Kai's face, he swiftly dodged the strike, shocking everyone including himself.
Kai quickly backed away as he shouted, "We're starting already?? You didn't even let me prepare!"
Yuki disregarded that as she asked her own question with a serious expression,
"How did you dodge that?"
Kai himself wasn't sure. Before, he couldn't even react to Hoshino's sword strikes, but now he is capable of dodging Yuki's Hakuda? His Zanpakutō spirit did say something about modifying his body but most of its effects should have come undone.
"Does it matter? I'm as strong as you now."
Kai took a very poor amateurish fighting stance, while Yuki took a refined one which could be seen by multiple people. But even with this, Yuki felt nervous to approach him. Then suddenly Kai lunged at her.
Yuki side stepped and dodged his advance while also performing a leg sweep under him. Kai ended up hitting the ground while getting a bunch of dirt in his face.
Everyone except for the instructor, Yuki and Shido laughed at him.
