"Time-Type Zanpakutō"
The moment he grasped the asauchi, a pulling sensation from his body caused his consciousness to blur momentarily.
When he regained consciousness, Kyōraku Callum found himself in another space.
The scene before him could only be described in two words:
Eerie.
Surrounding him on all sides weren't real-world sights, but distorted clocks of all kinds.
A tick-tock echoed in his ears.
Second hands spun, hourglasses flowed, gears turned.
Countless clocks, in this strange space, operated steadily.
Before Kyōraku Callum could carefully observe his surroundings, his consciousness blurred again.
The next moment, he was back in the narrow space.
Everything seemed frozen at the moment he lost consciousness.
Kyōraku Callum's unusual expression went unnoticed by others.
However, a teacher had noticed him when he chose his asauchi.
The teacher-in-charge approached him, somewhat surprised:
"Kyōraku Callum, have you chosen your asauchi?"
Kyōraku Callum smiled,
"Yes, I have."
He raised his asauchi to show the teacher.
Of course, the asauchi of Shinigami didn't have any fundamental differences.
The real differences came from the Shinigami themselves.
Although the teacher-in-charge was curious, he didn't ask further.
As a teacher at the Shinigami Academy, he knew some secrets.
As a member of the Kyōraku family, his student should have received instructions from his elders before obtaining his asauchi.
However, he didn't know that the elder who sent Kyōraku Callum was completely hands-off, letting Kyōraku Callum develop on his own.
"I'll send you out,"
the teacher-in-charge said gravely, "Students who have obtained their asauchi cannot remain in this narrow space."
Kyōraku Callum nodded and followed him to leave.
The method of leaving was also through Kidō.
As the place where asauchi are stored, the narrow space was extremely important to the entire Seireitei.
To leave, one could only use a one-way portal.
Arriving at the Shinigami Academy, the familiar system voice sounded again:
[New check-in task released. Please check in at the Shinigami Academy for two years and graduate as a top student.]
[Task reward: The first ability of your Zanpakutō's release.]
The new check-in task left Kyōraku Callum puzzled.
'The first ability of release?'
"Does my Zanpakutō have multiple abilities?"
Regarding the eerie space he entered in the narrow space, Kyōraku Callum guessed it might be his Zanpakutō's space.
But as this question was answered, a new one arose.
"Then where is my Zanpakutō?"
Kyōraku Callum recalled the scene: besides various clocks, he saw no living beings.
He stood at the entrance to the narrow space, lost in thought for a long time, until his head ached before he stopped.
"Forget it, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
Kyōraku Callum temporarily abandoned the idea of finding his Zanpakutō.
"Next, I should consider how to graduate successfully in two years."
As he was immersed in future plans, he suddenly met a gentle gaze.
Upon seeing the owner gaze, Kyōraku Callum gasped, barely maintaining his composure.
Brown short hair fell haphazardly, behind black-rimmed glasses were harmless, gentle eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, as if he had seen something interesting.
Sōsuke Aizen!!
The current captain of the 5th Division, the ruler of Hueco Mundo, the greatest ambitious and scheming man, a man who single-handedly changed three worlds.
Why would he be here?
A flash of inspiration struck Kyōraku Callum, remembering Aizen Sousuke's other identity:
"That's right, a special calligraphy teacher at the Shinigami Academy."
"But why is he looking at me with such a strange gaze?"
Others might return Aizen's kind smile.
However, Kyōraku Callum, knowing his true nature, could only manage a stiff smile.
Fortunately, the teacher waiting there arrived in time.
"I didn't expect a student to choose their asauchi so quickly."
The teacher was clearly surprised.
"Usually, students don't come out until the last minute."
Kyōraku Callum could only offer a stiffer smile.
Although he turned away, he could sense Aizen's gaze lingering on him.
He wasn't sure what happened.
But Kyōraku Callum was certain that Aizen had his eye on him.
"Bad start!"
Kyōraku Callum thought, "I need to be more cautious from now on."
The teacher seemed unaware of Kyōraku Callum's expression and continued:
"Come with me, there are scabbards prepared."
The asauchi didn't have different shapes, so the scabbards were standard.
Even Kyōraku Callum, a noble, couldn't avoid this.
After choosing a scabbard, Kyōraku Callum quickly left.
Aizen Sousuke, standing on a high platform with several teachers, watched his departing back, his gaze deep.
"A peculiar feeling."
"A child of the Kyōraku family?"
"It seems I need to pay more attention."
Being watched by Aizen wasn't pleasant.
Kyōraku Callum treated the schemer with utmost caution.
He wasn't a highly intelligent strategist.
If he relied solely on intelligence to play against someone like Aizen, Kyōraku Callum was confident he'd be crushed.
Right now, he could only rely on his cheat.
As soon as this thought arose, the system prompt came again.
[New check-in task released. Please check in at the kendo class and become the top freshman in kendo.]
[Task reward: One Sword Style!]
Seeing the reward, Kyōraku Callum was full of question marks.
What the heck?
Wasn't the jump in rewards a bit absurd?
Last time it was Limitless Swordsmanship, this time it's One Sword Style?
What would it be next, Shigure Soen Ryu? Hayate Kendō?
Clearly, Kyōraku Callum didn't understand his cheat's pattern.
However, rewards were always good.
Since he pursued the ultimate in kendo, he might as well embrace everything and become a master.
"If I remember correctly, the first class should be kendo."
