Restricted Death

Chapter 64: Kuchiki Family's Thank You Gift
First team team building.

After being picked up by the members of the Third Division, Xin was brought here to assist the Shinigami here in taking statements.

Xin did not hide anything and gave a brief account of the battle record. He knew that the barrier group must have a video recording, as was the case last time.

After telling everything that happened, the Death God who was in charge of taking notes asked Xin: "Do you have any enemies?"

Enemy?

After hearing this, Xin really thought about it seriously. He used to spend a lot of time in the Zaraki district of Rukongai, but he never returned to the Zaraki district since he came to the Spiritual Art Academy.

"No." Xin said, "The black cloak that man was wearing could conceal his spiritual pressure and face. It was strange that I couldn't see his true appearance from beginning to end."

"We have roughly identified the suspect."

"Who?" Xin was a little surprised.

“We need to wait until we finalize this.”

After finishing the transcript, the Grim Reaper gathered his things and stood up. "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you for stepping up again in times of crisis to protect your classmates."

"This is what I should do."

After returning to the Spiritual Arts Academy, many people gathered in the Student Union office. Some of them had been waiting there since returning from the real world, while others had rushed to visit after hearing the news.

When they saw the letter coming back, everyone gathered around.

"letter!"

"President!"

Xin glanced at everyone and laughed, "Why are you all here? Nothing happened. Didn't I see them at the world-crossing gate when I came back from the living world just now?"

Everyone expressed their concern, and Rukia expressed her gratitude to Shin for saving them.

Xin responded to everyone one by one, then comforted everyone and let them leave.

Soon, Xin and Xiubing were the only ones left in the office.

Xiu Bing looked at Xin Youyou and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you have some foresight. You never participated in internships in the past, but you joined in on these two occasions when something went wrong."

Xin laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "I wish you hadn't said I had a bad luck constitution."

Xiu Bing sighed and said, "No matter what, this time it's all thanks to you. If the boundary gate had been destroyed, we might all have been stranded in the Broken Realm and died at the hands of Ju Tu."

Xin only said: "You would do the same if you were in my place."

Xiubing asked again, "By the way, who is behind this incident? Have you found any clues about joining the First Division?"

Xin pondered and said, "It's not clear yet. It will take some time to investigate."

Nobuya was also puzzled by this matter. An accident had already happened before, and he wondered what method Aizen would use to cover it up this time.

However, before leaving the First Squad, they said they had already identified the suspect. Could it be that Aizen had arranged this in advance?

There's no point in thinking too much about this. Shin doesn't have the ability to compete with Aizen right now, but he didn't suffer any losses in these two incidents. Even if the person he fought this time survived, the injuries on his body would probably not be easy to recover from.

"Is the person you are fighting strong?" Xiubing asked.

"He is the strongest person I have ever met." Xin pondered. He guessed that because the other party had a limited spiritual seal, his spiritual pressure was restricted by 80%, and he had not yet used his Zanpakutō, so it was not his full strength at all.

But even so, the combat power he displayed surpassed that of an ordinary vice-captain.

His own spiritual pressure level was still only the fourth level, and the captain's weakest was the third level. That person could only use 20% of his spiritual pressure, but he also demonstrated strength beyond the vice-captain level.

Even if there are some factors such as combat experience, it is enough to show that the gap between the fourth-level spiritual power and the third-level spiritual power is extremely large.

Xin's current spiritual pressure level is Lv35, and he doesn't know how many levels he needs to increase to reach the third level of spiritual power.

in the afternoon.

During class, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

The person who came in was somewhat unexpected to Xin, and he knew the other person.

This man was there when the Kuchiki family came to look for Rukia. He was an old man wearing a white robe, with white hair and beard, and wearing round glasses. The difference was that he had a smile on his face at this moment.

Xin couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person coming. He didn't stand up, but just said, "Are you here to see Rukia? She's in class."

The old man from the Kuchiki family said with a smile: "We are not here to see the young lady, but to see you." "Me?"

"I heard that you stepped forward to help Miss Yu when she was in danger during this internship in this world. We are here to express our gratitude."

Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, then slowly stood up from his chair and gestured to his seat in the office.

"Please take a seat."

After saying that, he went to pour him a glass of water.

"I was the leader at the time. I was just doing my job. And I wasn't just trying to save Rukia."

The old man from the Kuchiki family said, "No matter what, you saved the young lady's life, and you are indebted to our Kuchiki family."

Xin looked at the old man with a smile: "I am a thick-skinned person. If you say so, I would like to ask, how do you, the Kuchiki family, plan to thank me."

"I believe you are a gifted young man, a rare hero. You probably don't like money and vulgar things, so..."

Xin glared at him: "Who said I don't like it!"

The old man from the Kuchiki family couldn't help but look stunned when he heard this.

Xin said happily: "Money is a good thing. You know, I was born in Rukongai and have always been short of money."

"..."

The old man from the Kuchiki family was speechless, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "In that case, please wait a day. We will come back tomorrow with a thank you gift."

He really didn't bring any money or anything with him this time, mainly because he didn't expect Xin to say such words.

"It's easy to talk about."

The Kuchiki family in the evening.

After Kuchiki Byakuya came back, he learned from the old man that they had gone to see the letter this afternoon.

"He wants money?"

The old man replied, "He responded like this. When I mentioned that he probably disliked money, he revealed a mercenary and greedy look. If you spend too much time with someone like that, you might..."

Kuchiki Byakuya looked calm and said, "Just send it to him tomorrow."

Seeing that his young master had made up his mind, the old man did not dare to disobey in the slightest. He just said "yes" and then stood up and left.

Byakuya Kuchiki sat there for a while, then stood up and left the room, going to the courtyard where Rukia lived.

As night fell, two figures were still moving around and fighting fiercely in the yard.

The two men didn't seem to notice Byakuya Kuchiki, but the servants passing by hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Kuchiki Byakuya raised his hand slightly, signaling him not to make a sound.

Seeing Byakuya Kuchiki silently watching the two men practicing in the courtyard, the servant whispered, "Miss Rukia practices diligently every day after returning from the Spiritual Arts Academy, never slacking off. Today was no exception, and she hasn't rested since returning."

Kuchiki Byakuya remained silent upon hearing the voice. His expression was indifferent, as if joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness would never appear on his face. He stood there for a moment, then turned and left.

The two people were practicing against each other in the yard. Rukia had been practicing this high-intensity training for a long time. At this moment, she felt extremely tired all over. While running, she suddenly felt her whole body go limp and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, his Hakuda teacher immediately stepped forward and said, "Ms. Rukia, let's stop here today. If we continue, it will be counterproductive."

Rukia reluctantly stood up, feeling that she had reached her limit, and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work today, Mr. Furukawa."

"Miss Rukia, please rest as it is your duty."

This man was a retainer of the Kuchiki family. Although Rukia called him teacher, her response was extremely respectful. After bowing, she left the yard.

Rukia breathed a sigh of relief, and the servant who was waiting nearby immediately came over and handed her a towel and tea.

She felt that her abilities were too weak and she was not particularly outstanding in Class A. It was only because she had four teachers at home that her grades were able to remain at the top of the class. However, there was still some distance between her and the top students like Renji, Hinamori, and Kira.

She also wanted to be strong enough to be of help in times of crisis.

Rukia still remembered the assessment when she joined the student council. Last night, she really wanted to stay and face the enemy with the president, but she knew that staying would only cause trouble.

It would be better if it were a little stronger, a little stronger...
