============================================================================
"Lord Kisaragi, this is as far as we can accompany you."
In front of Shin'ō Academy, a girl dressed in white and red hakama was bidding farewell to a reluctant-looking boy.
"From here on, you have to walk the path alone."
The girl smiled brightly, seemingly looking forward to the days ahead.
"Geez, Nanao, that's quite a heartless thing to say."
The boy pouted, "After all, I am your shrine master!"
"Yes, yes, shrine master."
Nanao Ise coaxed, "During your time at the academy, please, please, please don't cause any trouble."
"After all, there are many high-ranking nobles and even members of the Five Great Noble Families studying there."
"If you provoke them, with our status, we might quickly find ourselves executed!"
For once, the boy did not retort but nodded gently, smiling as he replied:
"I understand, Nanao."
This reaction made Nanao Ise pause for a moment, then she smiled, waved goodbye, and left the vicinity of the academy.
Watching her white figure fade into the distance, the boy rubbed his furrowed brow, trying to relax.
"Finally, I've arrived here."
"It was an unavoidable choice."
His low muttering did not attract the attention of the passersby.
Today was the entrance day for Shin'ō Academy, and there were many boys like him, some dressed in luxurious noble attire.
This is the Soul Society, the world of the Shinigami.
His name is Kisaragi Akira, the shrine master of the Sakahone Shrine in East Rukongai, also known as the Kanushi.
He couldn't quite remember how long it had been since he reincarnated into this world.
His difficult life of barely having enough to eat ended when he joined the shrine, and with his knowledge and familiarity with the ceremonies, he gradually rose to the top, becoming the shrine master.
Although the Sakahone Shrine only had him and Nanao Ise, it did not hinder Kisaragi Akira's status in Rukongai.
As the only shrine master in several nearby districts, Akira held significant authority.
He was responsible for duties such as rituals, exorcisms, and prayers, while Nanao Ise assisted him.
Of course, in certain special situations, Nanao had to take charge.
For example, when encountering bandits, rebels, unrest, or even Hollows infiltrating Rukongai.
After all, Akira had no formal training and did not know how to fight. Even with some talent, he couldn't convert it into sufficient combat power.
To prevent such situations from recurring, Nanao decided to send Akira to the academy for training.
Although this would cost the shrine some prestige, considering the future of the shrine and the shrine master, Nanao made this decision.
However, Kisaragi Akira had no grand ambitions and did not want to enter the troublesome vortex of Seireitei.
He just wanted to protect his small domain.
Although this idea seemed extravagant in this dangerous world, Akira believed he had some hope.
Because a year ago, his golden finger had arrived.
[Sign-in System]
As the name suggests, he only needed to sign in to become stronger, requiring less effort compared to others.
However, upon deeper understanding, he realized that the golden finger was a major trap.
Daily sign-in, monthly sign-in, yearly sign-in.
The three current sign-in methods were all quite tricky.
On the first day, he received a refined broom, which was very smooth and efficient for sweeping.
The second day's reward was two stone lanterns, perfect for placing at the shrine's entrance, providing "standing illumination."
The third day's reward was a high-quality shrine maiden outfit, which he gave to Nanao, greatly increasing her favorability.
This was somewhat useful.
Subsequent rewards were mostly useless items, occasionally improving his living conditions.
Useful items were rare, including but not limited to Genryūsai's secret roasted sweet potatoes, high-quality konpeitō, sweet persimmons, and the compiled edition of "Seireitei Tsūshin" published by the 9th Division of the Soul Society.
This situation continued until the first monthly sign-in.
[First Monthly Sign-in, Successful]
[Obtained Exclusive Entry: Reishi Affinity]
[Reishi Affinity: Reishi sees you as a friend, greatly enhancing your spiritual pressure training speed!]
Thanks to this entry, Akira began training in spiritual pressure. Although he was still far behind geniuses, he was among the best of ordinary people.
Through hard training and continuous sign-in rewards, by the eve of entering the academy, Akira's status had reached a relatively "luxurious" level.
[Name: Kisaragi Akira]
[Identity: Shrine Master of Sakahone Shrine, Rukongai Commoner, First-Year Student at Shin'ō Academy]
[Spiritual Pressure: lv10]
[Swordsmanship: lv10]
[Hand-to-Hand Combat: lv10]
[Shunpo: lv10]
[Kido: lv10]
[Exclusive Entry: Reishi Affinity]
A simple yet comprehensive status panel clearly marked Kisaragi Akira's current strength.
According to his calculations and deductions, his current strength was equivalent to a standard Shinigami Division member.
Even though he couldn't remember the details of the Bleach he knew that Division member-level was not even considered cannon fodder.Not to mention, Nanao who in the canon was a Lieutenant of Eighth Division.
Fortunately, his level was more than enough to enter the academy, and he was even placed in the elite class.
Reishi Affinity played a significant role.
As Nanao's figure completely disappeared, Akira put away his chaotic thoughts and focused on the grand entrance of the academy.
[Location Sign-in: Shin'ō Academy]
[Obtained Exclusive Entry: Spidey Sense]
[Spidey Sense: You have an innate sensitivity to danger, especially in life-threatening situations.]
The sudden acquisition of this entry greatly enhanced Akira's senses, making everything in the world clearer to him.
The lurking dangers made his hair stand on end, and his entire mental state became tense.
His weak strength made him feel that the world was full of malice towards him.
Until—
A gentle voice came from behind: "Excuse me, are you also a new student at the academy?"
Kisaragi Akira turned around and saw a boy dressed in the same blue and white academy uniform.
With a warm smile like the sun, short brown hair, and brown eyes, the slightly thin boy gave an impression of fragility.
"Yes, my name is Kisaragi Akira."
Hearing the introduction, the gentle boy smiled slightly and said softly:
"Nice to meet you, I am Aizen, Sōsuke Aizen…"
