Due to the upcoming summer vacation, Aaron's recent workload had been relatively light.After finishing work that afternoon, he leisurely made his way toward the Urahara Shop.
"Xiao Yu! You're such an idiot!"
Jinta's voice rang out from a distance. Aaron shook his head slightly and continued walking forward.
Before long, he spotted Jinta bullying Xiao Yu again.
"It's been a while!" Aaron greeted them with a smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jinta quickly hid the newspaper behind his back, a panicked expression crossing his face.
Xiao Yu, who had just been at the receiving end of Jinta's antics, wiped away her tears and ran toward Aaron.
"Senpai! You're here!" Xiao Yu said happily upon reaching his side.
Hearing the awkward honorific, Aaron chuckled slightly and asked, "Where are Urahara and Tessai?"
Jinta, now looking somewhat guilty, also moved to Xiao Yu's side.
After shooting her an annoyed glance, he looked up and said, "Senpai, the manager and Uncle Tessai are training the orange-haired kid underground.
"Did you come for the hot springs today?
"I'll go inform the manager and Uncle Tessai."
After hearing Jinta's response, Aaron recalled the events of the original Shinigami storyline.
"It seems Urahara and the others are helping Ichigo regain his Shinigami powers," Aaron thought to himself.
Looking at Xiao Yu and Jinta in front of him, he smiled and said, "No need to inform them. I'll head to the hot springs on my own."
With that, he walked toward the shop as if he had done so countless times before.
Suddenly, Aaron turned back to Jinta and said, "Stop bullying Xiao Yu all the time, or Urahara might have to deal with you again."
Jinta tensed slightly and gave Xiao Yu a light push before grinning sheepishly. "Senpai, we were just playing around.
"You won't tell the manager, right?"
Aaron chuckled at the two before turning and making his way into the shop, disappearing shortly after.
After pushing aside the spiritual barrier set by Tessai Tsukabishi, Aaron flashed toward the hot spring area.
At that moment, three distinct Reiatsu clashed and intertwined in the underground training space.
"So Urahara really does know what he's doing, but this training intensity seems a bit weak," Aaron muttered with a smile before sinking into the hot spring.
The large hot spring pool appeared deserted, as if no one had been there in a long time.
Meanwhile, a black cat arrived at the Urahara Shop, bringing Inoue Orihime and the others along.
Outside, Xiao Yu and Jinta, who were organizing supplies, greeted the black cat in unison: "Yoruichi-sama!"
Yoruichi glanced at them and asked, "Urahara and Tessai are still training that kid?"
Xiao Yu and Jinta exchanged looks before nodding firmly.
"Let's take Ishida and Sado to check it out."
Yoruichi led Orihime and the others straight into the shop.
Although Xiao Yu and Jinta were unsure of Yoruichi's intentions, they didn't ask questions. After closing the shop, they led the group underground.
"Yoruichi-sama… you… you're actually a woman?!" Orihime gasped in shock, staring at Yoruichi in her human form.
Yoruichi scoffed and shot Orihime a teasing glance. "Weren't you just worrying about me making you soak in the hot spring?"
Orihime blushed, scratched her head, and said sheepishly, "It's just that… Yoruichi-sama, your voice totally sounded like a guy before."
Before long, they arrived at the hot spring pool.
Just as Orihime and Yoruichi were about to enter the water, a shadowy figure emerged from the steaming pool.
Aaron had just sat up from the hot spring and was surprised to see the two.
"Well… what a coincidence," Aaron said with an easy smile.
At that moment, Yoruichi and Orihime both exclaimed at the same time: "Teacher?!"
Realizing how awkward the situation was, they glanced at each other in confusion.
Yoruichi quickly transformed back into her black cat form, while Orihime, her face burning red, turned and ran in the direction she had come from.
Aaron: "???"
A few minutes later, Yoruichi, now comfortably perched nearby, eyed Orihime and asked hesitantly, "Orihime, what did you just call that guy?"
Orihime, still blushing, replied, "Yoruichi-sama, he's our homeroom teacher."
Yoruichi was about to speak when Orihime suddenly reacted and asked, "Wait… Yoruichi-sama, didn't you also call him 'Teacher' just now?"
"Because he's our former teacher," Yoruichi said casually.
While they were still discussing, Urahara Kisuke arrived with Ichigo and the others.
"Yoruichi, we're all set here. Once I take them to the hot springs, you can head out," Urahara said with a grin.
Yoruichi gave him a serious look and said, "The teacher is here."
The moment Urahara and Tessai heard those words, they left Ichigo and the others behind and hurried toward the hot spring pool.
As Yoruichi and Orihime left, Ichigo and his friends were left full of questions. Still, they put on bathrobes and prepared to relax.
"Sado, Ishida, what do you think the manager's teacher is like?" Ichigo mused aloud. "Maybe some old guy with gray hair?"
"No," he reconsidered. "Maybe he's a hulking muscleman, even bigger than Uncle Tessai."
Sado and Ishida, silent as ever, simply listened to Ichigo's speculations without comment.
However, their expressions revealed their curiosity about this so-called 'teacher.'
As the three approached the hot spring area, they were surprised to see Urahara and Tessai standing respectfully, completely silent and still.
When Urahara noticed them, he cleared his throat and announced, "Let me introduce you to our teacher."
Aaron, who already knew they had arrived, smiled and waved.
Kurosaki Ichigo: "???"
Ishida Uryū: "???"
Sado Yasutora: "???"
Ichigo suddenly jumped back in shock. "TEACHER?!"
Although Sado and Ishida weren't as dramatic as Ichigo, their faces were full of disbelief.
Urahara, seeing their reactions, immediately understood what had happened.
He laughed awkwardly and turned to Aaron. "Teacher, could you help train Ichigo and the others?"
Ichigo, still baffled, protested, "Wait, what?! Manager, how is he supposed to help us?!
"I mean, yeah, he's our teacher, but he's just a normal guy!
"He doesn't seem particularly strong or anything…"
Just then, a massive surge of Reiatsu erupted from Tessai.
Through the glare of his glasses, Ichigo and his friends could almost see a crimson glow radiating outward.
Aside from Urahara, no one had ever witnessed such a display.
At that moment, they felt as though they could barely breathe.
Meanwhile, Aaron emerged from the hot spring, now dressed in a bathrobe.
He lightly patted Tessai's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's enough, Tessai. I was planning on heading to the Soul Society soon anyway, so I'll just go with them."
Tessai immediately bowed. "My apologies, Teacher! I was too rude!"
Aaron turned and walked off.
Ichigo and his friends, still stunned, watched his retreating figure, filled with unanswered questions.
