Chapter 15: The True Power of Banshō Senran
After making a name for himself in Zanjutsu class, Masatsuki Aozaki's daily life didn't change much. He continued attending classes at Shin'ō Academy and the 1st Division barracks as usual...
Except for Zanjutsu class.
According to Keito Satō, Sōjun Kuchiki believed there was nothing more he could teach Masatsuki in Zanjutsu.
As a result, Shin'ō Academy made a special request to the Gotei 13's 4th Division Captain, Retsu Unohana, to personally tutor Masatsuki one-on-one.
In response, Masatsuki sincerely expressed that as long as Captain Unohana didn't get too carried away during lessons and accidentally cut off his head, he had no objections.
During his free time, Masatsuki either sparred with Rangiku Matsumoto and Gin Ichimaru or sought out "matches" with his instructors and noble ladies.
Either way, his training never fell behind.
Days passed like this, one after another...
Before long, Shin'ō Academy grew lively as the annual Konsō training period arrived.
On this day, sixth-year students would travel to the World of the Living for training, and those who passed would finally achieve their dream of becoming Shinigami.
Whether or not they actually needed the training wasn't important—Masatsuki was focused on something else entirely.
