"Sōsuke, let me teach you a Kidou!"

In the cafeteria, Yu Mikami waved his chopsticks with a smug expression.

Aizen glanced at him.

"Did the Captain-Commander teach you that?"

Yu Mikami widened his eyes: "Are you looking down on your brother? Do you think I, Yu Mikami, only show off what the Captain-Commander taught me?"

"I swear on one of the Captain-Commander's arms; he didn't teach me this!"

Aizen: "..."

For some reason, Yu Mikami seemed to have a grudge against the Captain-Commander's arm, always swearing on it.

After pondering for a couple of seconds, Aizen speculated, "Did you learn it from someone else while studying at the 1st Division?"

Yu Mikami opened his mouth, then cleared his throat.

"Why so much chatter? Do you want to learn or not?"

"Yes."

Aizen nodded.

He never refused to learn new skills.

Yu Mikami looked satisfied and explained the pre-set trigger Kidou he learned from Ukitake.

After listening to Yu Mikami's explanation, Aizen quickly visualized it in his mind.

His eyes lit up: "This is a great technique."

Pre-set trigger Kidou can be configured on oneself before a battle.

In case of an ambush, it could be life-saving at a critical moment.

Looking at Yu Mikami, Aizen couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

He had always hidden his strength to avoid trouble and evade attention.

The downside was having to research various skills and techniques on his own or sneak into the library to learn from books.

With Yu Mikami around, the situation changed instantly.

Yu Mikami could bring him the various techniques and abilities he couldn't access on his own.

In many ways, the knowledge Yu Mikami brought became crucial to his growth.

The more this happened, the more Aizen felt indebted to Yu Mikami.

Even with friends, he wouldn't take such one-sided contributions for granted.

He had to achieve research results soon.

Once that experiment succeeded, he could help Yu Mikami make great strides forward.

That would somewhat repay the favor.

Thinking about Yu Mikami being tearfully grateful and full of praise and admiration for him, Aizen's lips curled into a smile.

In the afternoon, there was only one class about Hollow culture.

Shin'o Academy's schedule wasn't the same every day.

Like today, after the two-hour culture class, the rest of the time was free.

Students could go home or train at the dojo.

Yu Mikami packed his things: "Sōsuke, want to go hang out in Rukongai?"

Aizen shook his head: "I'm going to the calligraphy classroom, maybe next time."

"Calligraphy classroom?"

Yu Mikami was slightly taken aback. He didn't know Shin'o Academy had something like that.

Aizen nodded: "It just started recently, sort of as a hobby club."

He picked up a bag and headed out of the classroom.

Yu Mikami thought for a moment and decided to follow.

Seeing Mikami following, Aizen found it a bit strange.

"What are you coming along for?"

"To check out Japanese calligraphy."

"Are you interested in calligraphy?"

"Not interested at all."

Aizen gave him a puzzled look.

If he's not interested, why join in?

Though it was a bit odd, Aizen didn't press further.

Not understanding Yu Mikami's thoughts was something he had grown quite accustomed to.

The two arrived at the calligraphy classroom and found it already filled with several people.

"Who's the teacher for the club?"

Yu Mikami asked curiously.

"Mr. Yamasaki from Class Three." Aizen took out paper and a brush from his bag, "His level isn't very high, but there's something to be learned."

Hearing his assessment, Yu Mikami chuckled.

This guy is pretty confident.

Just as he was about to say something, a figure entered through the front door of the classroom.

Entering the room was not Mr. Yamasaki from Class Three, but a young-faced uncle with white hair tied in a single ponytail.

"Captain Ukitake?!"

"Captain Ukitake from the 13th Division?!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Ukitake walked up to the podium and nodded with a smile.

After a round of introductions, the students showed expressions of realization.

Ukitake was there because he was the vice president of the Seireitei Calligraphy Association.

Upon hearing that Shin'o Academy had started a calligraphy club, he volunteered to teach a class.

Naturally, the school welcomed him with open arms.

After his introduction, Ukitake spotted Yu Mikami sitting at the back of the classroom and his eyes lit up.

He winked at Yu Mikami and then refocused on the class, beginning to teach the basic principles of calligraphy to the students.

As Yu Mikami listened to Ukitake's lecture, a somewhat complex look appeared on his face.

Unlike kendo, Japanese calligraphy doesn't have many famous schools.

The few reliable ones were mostly promoted by monks.

The names are also filled with traditional Japanese fantasy flair.

Ukitake took out some paper and a brush, wrote a few characters, and demonstrated several styles for the students.

After the lecture, Ukitake had the students try writing themselves.

He stepped down from the podium, observing to his left and right as he went.

Occasionally, he offered guidance, nodded his approval, or showed an awkward expression.

When he reached Yu Mikami, he smiled, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

"Good afternoon, Yu. When I came over, I was thinking about inviting you. I didn't expect you'd already be here."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Aizen writing beside them.

As Ukitake observed Aizen's work, he displayed a somewhat surprised expression.

He nodded slightly and said, "This student is really impressive. At such a young age, he already has his own 'spirit.'"

"Many who have practiced calligraphy for years have not reached this level."

Aizen didn't speak but continued writing until he finished. Then he stopped and bowed to Ukitake in thanks.

Yu Mikami leaned over to take a look.

Aizen had written three lines of an old-style haiku, so Yu Mikami couldn't really understand it.

After a glance, he nodded and said, "Indeed, it's well-written."

Hearing this, Aizen looked at him speechlessly.

"You know calligraphy?"

Aizen was well aware of what kind of person Yu Mikami was.

In class, he had never seen Yu Mikami use a brush; for note-taking and such, he always used a custom-made hard pen.

Forget calligraphy, considering Yu Mikami's handwriting, it was already impressive if he could recognize his own writing.

The only advantage was his speed—he wrote incredibly fast, ten times quicker than the other students.

However, upon hearing this, Yu Mikami lifted his head.

"Sōsuke, if you say that, I can't pretend I didn't hear it."

Under Aizen's gaze, Yu Mikami reached for his brush, picked up a piece of paper, and pinned it down with a paperweight.

In the instant Yu Mikami raised the brush, Aizen suddenly felt that his very familiar friend seemed to have changed in demeanor.

Yu Mikami stared at the paper in front of him, motionless, for a few seconds.

Then, suddenly, he lowered the brush and swiftly wrote:

"The Lotus Sutra,

A treasure of the Buddhas!"
