Yoruichi-sama!!!"
Soi Fon tries to run after Yoruichi but is stopped when a shadow swallows him.
* Bang *
It was the gigai Itsuki that landed on it. Because of that all of a sudden, he had no time to react and was pushed to the ground due to its weight. Getting back his bearings, he saw the pressing load and the unrivalled face of Gigai nearby.
'Very Close
'
His face suddenly reddened when he heard a cold voice disturb his mind.
"Hentai"
He looked towards Itsuki only to see a look of disdain directed at him deepen his embarrassment as he hurriedly tried to get up. Some members of Onmitsukido ignore this interaction and go help Soi Fon.
'''We heard nothing'''
"Niihashi Noel, lead the way"
Itsuki ignores helping Soi Fon and turns towards Noel taking him out of his mind. For some reason, Itsuki finds some sort of pleasure in teasing Soi Fon.
This was not because she had romantic feelings for him, but she, in all fairness, did become an easy target for someone to tease. That's similar to how you're going to annoy your siblings. Now we know where Ryurai got his personality from.
'Brothers, huh?'
This thought irritated Itsuki for some reason and the unpleasant feeling that was building up in Itsuki's chest was quite contrary to what to do, on one side was Rangiku, a gentle girl who liked Itsuki back. On the other hand, there was a sense of loss, as if wanting more.
He never knew what made this feeling, doubt filled his heart. It seems that the lack of interaction of his past life with the opposite sex while being part otaku has come back to haunt him. Interacting with Rangiku may have helped Itsuki boost his confidence, but the ingrained roots were hard to change.
No matter who he was now or how cool his appearance was, it would be difficult for him to change his core personality, even with the changes brought from mystic eyes. His mental abilities also proved to be useless in this situation.
It was not a simple set of calculations or my new life situation.
'Seriously, killing is a lot easier'
This thought shocked Itsuki, and a wry smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his core personality changed, but not as he had expected.
The concept of death and slaughter felt familial as if he belonged to her, shaped by it. Yet this brought a sense of decisiveness as he searched for a solution, before finding a common saying
'Time will speak'
Everyone was busy helping the SSWB, so no one noticed the subtle change in Itsuki's expression. That unpleasant feeling did not disappear completely when he felt annoyed.
"Too slow"
The innocent Noel, who was riding a small dragon meant to transport witches, suddenly lifted up.
Holding her in the sling of Itsuki's daughter pushed her speed to the maximum and headed straight towards the direction where the explosion occurred.
"uh?! eeeehhhhhh?!"
Noel could not process what was happening as his surroundings started to blur.
"Cih, show off"
Soi Fon, who is now recovering, also increases his speed to chase Itsuki with the Onmitsukido members following him. However, they failed to do so because Soi Fon started losing against her.
This only meant one thing, Shunpo Itsuki was superior to hers. Even though he knew that Itsuki was still inferior to his god, it was still superior to his. This kindled the fighting spirit within him as he refused to lose and pushed himself, instead,
'I can't lose to him!'
Ninii was shocked by the turn of events as she increased her speed while shouting
"Wait for me!!"
Noel felt unwell with the sudden change in speed and before he knew it, they faced the black dragon. It looks similar to the one Itsuki encountered in Rukongai but only bigger.
The dragon roared with an expression saying, 'You won't pass'. Itsuki was amused by that gaze as she recalled the person who said that sentence. However, Noel was extremely frightened as this was the first time he had encountered such a huge dragon.
'Eh?! Growth? Wait not to grow, they feel like they're getting closer? They're not getting any closer, are they?!!'
He finally realized that he was not being held back by anything and was thrown into the sky. Quickly turning around, he saw little Itsuki facing the black dragon.
"Aaaagg..."
His scream was interrupted when he saw Itsuki putting his hand on one of his katana, a flash and returning his katana to its sheath, he did not even catch a glimpse of his sword. What surprised him even more was that the immobile dragon suddenly collapsed and split into two, diagonally from his right shoulder to the left side of his waist.
Another scream came out of his mouth as he felt himself stopping and being pulled down.
"Aaaaagggggghhhh!!!!!!"
He did not shout as long as he felt two hands grasping at him. Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Itsuki hugging her as a gentle breeze blew her hair. Moving her hair from her face, she glanced down to look at the ground with the same distance as when she closed her eyes, even though it looked a little closer.
The intense vertigo struck him as he quickly strangled Itsuki's neck, burrowing her face into his chest
Itsuki was too surprised to move but quickly regained his senses as he began to slowly pat her on the back, calming her down. Calming, she moved her head and turned around, refusing to show her flushed face. This was the first time he had shown this side to the opposite sex.
"Should we move now?"
Giving a small nod of approval, Noel refused to look at Itsuki. The others had just reached them when Itsuki was away. They were all shocked to see the dead dragon and its size.
Ninii was very surprised as she scanned the surroundings. Seeing the damage around him, he realized it was most likely caused by the arrival of the dragon not because of the fight. This meant that it was sent in one move, thinking here only one thought flashed through his head, he said,
'Squeals!'
Suddenly a red hue appeared on his face as he began to feel envious of Noel. Putting his thoughts aside, he then followed the group that was trying to chase Itsuki.
Itsuki arrived at Wing Bind's headquarters. It was a fairly modern building that had about seven floors with a castle-like roof with two towers. A Wing Bind emblem was beneath him.
Now looking at it, Itsuki could see the source of the explosion coming from the seventh floor. He could feel the reiatsu of a dozen Shinigami coming from there.
He went to that location and placed Noel on the ground next to him.
Dropping him, he got a clearer view of the situation before him.
Bodies lay strewn across the marble floor with blood flowing over it. They wore uniforms similar to Noel but had a more battle-oriented design.
About 12 to 13 Shinigami were there cleaning their swords which showed that they were the cause of the slaughter that lay before him. The sound of vomiting could be heard next to him as the sight was too heavy for Noel. Growing up in a relatively peaceful place, this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying scene like the one in front of him.
Itsuki closed his eyes upon seeing this scene, not to take his eyes off the scene but to calm his emotions as his mystical eyes only activated. He's very angry.
His mind was slowly drawn towards the conversation he had with Yamamoto
*Flashback*
"Itsuki, what do you see as justice?"
Is that justice? Is someone who breaks the rules evil? Is someone stealing to feed their evil child? Is killing someone just to fill your stomach evil? Itsuki doesn't know. Training with Yamamoto gave Itsuki a deep understanding of the term
'The strong eat the weak'.
"I don't know sensei. All I know is, if I see something wrong happening in front of me, I'll try to stop it"
"Even if it means contrary to the justice of the world"
Itsuki never answers but Yamamoto gets the answer. Sighing, he just said
"I'll teach you my last lesson. Be strong and fight for your 'justice' source. You can go"
Itsuki bowed and left.
Chojiro who was next to him asked Yamamoto
"You sure about this?"
"Yes, even though we have different thoughts, we walk the same path. He's like the other two kids"
"Why are there so many documents!!"
