Death: Captain Millennium

Time passed quickly, and Ichigo's strength was steadily improving under Rukia's daily training. However, on this day, when Rukia saw the Hollow signal flashing on the messenger screen, she pulled Ichigo up without hesitation and rushed to the location indicated by the signal.

They ran all the way and arrived at their destination breathlessly, but the scene before them disappointed them greatly - there was no shadow of Xu at all!

Ichigo suddenly felt very annoyed and couldn't help complaining to Rukia: "This broken messenger of yours should be eliminated. It has reported the existence of Hollows many times, but every time we rushed to the scene, we couldn't even see the shadow of a Hollow!" His voice was full of dissatisfaction, and he cursed and merged into his body again.

At this moment, a man wearing glasses suddenly walked out of the darkness. He gently pushed his glasses up and smiled. "Hey! Good evening. Kurosaki and Kuchiki-san, what are you arguing about?"

When Ichigo heard the voice, he immediately turned his head alertly, his eyes fixed on the mysterious man: "Who are you? Why do you know our names?"

The man with glasses smiled slightly and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked: "Kurosaki, you can see hollows, right?" This sentence made Ichigo's heart jump and an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

Before Ichigo could react, the man with glasses muttered, "Oh my god, another Hollow appears." There was a hint of annoyance in his tone.

Ichigo quickly turned to look at Rukia, who had quickly pulled out her transmitter and checked it. "Ichigo, it says there's a Hollow signal nearby," Rukia said anxiously.

"Where is it?" Ichigo looked around nervously, but it was pitch black and he didn't see any Hollow.

Seeing this, the man with glasses sneered, then extended a finger, pointing in an unerring direction. "How lame! You can't even figure out something like this. Do you really deserve to be called the God of Death?" His words were filled with sarcasm and contempt.

After he finished speaking, a cross bracelet dangled from his wrist. Then, a powerful spirit particle energy erupted from the bracelet, distorting the surrounding air. The next moment, the spirit particle energy instantly transformed into a massive spirit particle bow, flashing with dazzling light.

The man with glasses expertly drew his bow and shot an arrow, his movements smooth and graceful. As he did so, the arrow, formed from spirit particles, flew out, charging with fierce momentum in the direction he had pointed.

Ichigo and Rukia stared wide-eyed, intently staring at the direction the arrow had flown. They were surprised to discover that the arrow had actually struck a Hollow hidden in mid-air! The Hollow, without offering any resistance, was instantly pierced by the arrow and dissipated into ash.

"Who are you?" Ichigo frowned, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him who was wearing glasses and had an indifferent expression. He felt a strong hostility emanating from him, but he didn't know why.

"Me? My name is Ishida Uryu, and I'm a Quincy. I hate you Shinigami very much!" Ishida Uryu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo didn't understand what Ishida Uryu said at all, and his heart was full of confusion.

"I said I hate you very much, Kurosaki Ichigo!" Ishida Uryu repeated again, with a flash of disgust in his eyes. Then, he turned around and left without looking back, leaving Rukia and Ichigo standing there looking at each other.

Ichigo stood there blankly, looking at Ishida Uryu's departing back, his heart full of confusion. He didn't know why this person hated him so much, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Ichigo looked at Rukia and said softly, "He seems to hate us..."

"It seems that things are becoming more and more complicated..." Rukia frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

At this moment, Ichigo suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Rukia: "By the way, that guy named Ishida Uryu said he hated me, but I don't even know him!"

Rukia on the side understood. So this was the Quincy. She had heard Lin Yu mention it more than once. Moreover, the last time Lin Yu went to hell to save the first generation captains was to kill the awakened Quincy King Yhwach. Now she finally saw a living Quincy with her own eyes.

However, Rukia was puzzled by why Ishida Uryuu hated Ichigo so much. Could there be some animosity between them? Furthermore, this Quincy seemed rather tsundere, professing his hatred for Shinigami as soon as they met. Wasn't he afraid that he'd be easily slaughtered by a skilled opponent someday?

After all, there is Karakura Town here. Now, a group of powerful first-generation captains of Soul Society, including Lin Yu, are hiding in Karakura Town. Their strength is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Moreover, the hatred of the first generation captains like Lin Yu towards the Quincies was not small. If they really met, they might really kill Ishida Uryu. Thinking of this, Rukia couldn't help but sweat for Ishida Uryu.

In the school corridor, Ichigo was still angry about what happened last night, and Ishida's words kept appearing in his mind: "You are not yet a god of death..."

These words deeply hurt Ichigo's heart, making him feel extremely angry and humiliated. "That damned Ishida, how dare he say that to me! I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Ichigo said through gritted teeth.

Ichigo walked and thought, his anger growing stronger and stronger. He didn't understand why Ishida would be so disgusted with him, even saying such hurtful words. After all, there was no deep hatred between them, it was just their first meeting.

Thinking of this, Ichigo clenched his fists, and wanted to rush up to Ishida to settle the score. However, at this moment, he suddenly forgot Ishida's full name and only remembered his last name.

Just as Ichigo was trying to remember Ishida's name, Orihime suddenly appeared. Seeing Ichigo's distressed look, she asked curiously, "Ichigo, are you thinking about something? Are you worried about something?"

Ichigo was startled by Orihime and scratched his head awkwardly before replying, "Nothing, just a little thing."

Orihime looked at Ichigo and smiled, "Actually, I just heard what you said. Are you talking about Ishida Uryu?"

Ichigo's mouth opened in surprise and he asked in confusion, "Hey! Orihime, how did you know that name?"

Orihime smiled proudly and said, "Because Ishida Uryuu is my classmate in the craft club."

Ichigo was even more surprised. He didn't expect Orihime to know Ishida. So he asked curiously, "Craft Club? What kind of club is that?"

Orihime explained with a smile, "The Craft Club is a club where we learn various handicraft skills. We learn weaving, embroidery, pottery, and so on."

After hearing this, Ichigo still didn't quite understand, but he didn't want to ask any more questions.

Orihime seemed to see through Ichigo's thoughts and offered to take him to see Ishida. She took Ichigo's hand and ran to the classroom.

The two of them came to the classroom door and secretly peeked out. Orihime pointed at a boy in the classroom and whispered to Ichigo, "Ichigo, that's Ishida-san."

Ichigo took a closer look and confirmed that the boy was Ishida, whom he had seen last night. His eyes were full of anger and provocation, as if saying, "Just wait and see, I will definitely make you regret it!"

However, he was still confused about what the Craft Club was all about. Even though Orihime had explained it to him, he still found it strange that such a club existed.
