Chapter 4: Achievement Unlocked
Looking at the horrifying scene in front of them, the Captains couldn't help but be amazed.
Countless sharp blades, like a torrential rain, bombarded Tokikaze, seemingly trying to completely drown him.
But at the moment his Reiatsu erupted, blocking all the incoming blade raining at him.
Even Tosen was shocked by the scene before him.
No one understood better than him the destructive power of his technique earlier.
Even an Adjuchas would lose their limbs from that technique, and Tosen had personally tested it.
However, in front of Tokikaze's Reiatsu pillars, it was utterly useless.
"Oh my, how terrifying!"
Kyōraku Shunsui mumbled indistinctly, "Such a level of Reiatsu is already at the Captain level!"
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, clearly taken aback by Tokikaze's performance.
As one of the senior Captains in the Soul Society, Kyōraku Shunsui had met many talented Soul Reapers.
But compared to Tokikaze, they seemed to be in completely different leagues.
Even the one who married into Kuchiki Family some time ago was no different.
Just a reminder, it only took Tokikaze only took three years to graduate from the Shin'o Academy only three years ago.
Even a senior Captain like Kyoraku thought so, let alone the newly appointed ones.
Soifon's petite face was full of seriousness, and her sharp gaze was firmly locked on Tokikaze.
Even Aizen was genuinely in disbelief at this moment.
Only Komamura Sajin's expression was undiscernable because of the mask.
Tosen's full-powered strike was ineffective, and the blades turned to dust because of Tokikaze's Reiatsu.
Tokikaze gripped the hilt with his right hand, gently stroking the blade with his left hand, and ripples of light circled out from him.
He had already roughly gauged Tosen's strength.
Now, it was the best time to end this battle, just as he said before.
This battle should end here.
Tosen became vigilant and immediately gathered his Reiatsu at an even faster speed.
Another massive pillar of light filled the training ground.
The already devastated field was directly crushed into pieces.
But right when he was the most cautious...
Tokikaze suddenly vanished.
"When did he..."
Tosen was suddenly shocked, and Tokikaze's Zanpakuto was already right in front of him.
Tokikaze's Shunpo speed was so fast that it even surpassed Tosen's Reiatsu sensor.
Seeing this scene, Soifon's eyes widened subconsciously, and a look of disbelief flashed deep in her pupils.
"Shihōin Family's secret Shunpo?!"
The Shunpo technique displayed by Tokikaze reminded her of the person she used to admire.
"Is it really…?"
Kyōraku Shunsui scratched the stubble on his chin and muttered, "If I remember correctly..."
"With Tokikaze's position as the heir of one of the Four Noble Houses, obtaining the information about the secret Shunpo shouldn't be difficult."
Hearing this, Soifon once again realized that Tokikaze was the heir of Tsunayashiro Family, the head of the Five Great Noble Houses.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth frustratingly.
She still found it hard to let go of that person who left without saying goodbye years ago.
Meanwhile, Tokikaze's Zanpakuto had torn apart Tosen's Reiatsu defense.
Tosen looked serious, raising his sword in reverse, attempting to defend against this attack.
However, something unexpected happened again.
Tokikaze's figure disappeared once again in front of him, and Tosen's sword only hit a remnant afterimage.
"Fourth step of the Shihōin - Utsusemi."
The indifferent voice appeared behind Tosen, and Tokikaze slowly sheathed his Zanpakutō.
Click.
The slight collision sound of the blade and the scabbard played the final note of this battle.
Pssskk—
Everyone stared in astonishment at Tosen, whose shihakuso was torn apart.
The sound of fabric tearing and flesh being cut intertwined, spewing out a dazzling splash of blood like blooming flowers.
Tosen staggered under his feet, kneeling down, and his momentum instantly waned.
On the other hand, Tokikaze remained calm and composed, as always.
It was as if he wasn't fighting at all.
Even his shihakuso remained untouched by even a speck of dust.
The gap in their strength was evident.
Tokikaze wasn't surprised by this at all.
After all, he was good in everything except for Reiatsu.
Easily overwhelming the current Tosen was an expected result.
As for the result of this assessment battle, the observing Captains weren't too surprised.
After all, Tokikaze had demonstrated how capable he was since he joined the Gotei 13.
Yamamoto Genryusai's slightly closed eyes slowly opened as he gazed at Tokikaze not far away, announcing in a deep voice:
"The assessment battle is over, and the winner is Tokikaze from Tsunayashiro Family."
The Captains nodded in agreement, acknowledging the outcome of the battle.
Only Aizen revealed a subtle trace of regret in his eyes as he looked at the training ground.
Soon after, he turned his gentle gaze towards Tokikaze, seemingly congratulating him.
Tokikaze, perhaps sensing Aizen's gaze, responded with a smile.
The atmosphere became harmonious and pleasant for a while.
Soon, the members of the 4th Division, under the guidance of Isane Kotetsu, took the heavily injured Tosen away from the training ground.
Observing the gaping wound on his chest, even Yamada Hanataro, who was accustomed to treating the wounded, couldn't help but be astonished.
"What a scary guy..."
He glanced at Tokikaze beside him, "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling about him."
Unconcerned about these gazes, Tokikaze focused on the system's new prompt after gaining Yamamoto Genryusai's acknowledgment.
[Achievement unlocked!]
[9th Division Disciplined Captain!]
[As the Captain of the Detention Unit, it is your duty to bring the criminals of the Soul Society into custody, creating a harmonious Soul Society!]
Looking at the screen in front of him, Tokikaze's smile became even more apparent.
He was quite satisfied with this so-called achievement.
From today onwards, a discipline Captain of the 9th Division was born.
