Chapter 21: Training Ground
Masatsuki Aozaki and Yoruichi Shihōin made their way across half of Seireitei, eventually arriving at the base of Sōkyoku Hill.
One look at the place was enough to leave Masatsuki stunned.
The underground beneath Sōkyoku Hill had been completely hollowed out by two incredibly audacious individuals. The space was packed with an assortment of training equipment—clearly meant to serve as a training ground.
"Damn you, Yoruichi! You were the one who wanted to build this place, so why am I the only one doing all the work?"
Yoruichi was enthusiastically showing Masatsuki around when a lazy, disgruntled voice interrupted her.
The source of the complaint was a man with messy, light-blond hair that curled slightly at the ends. His military-green eyes held a perpetual look of exhaustion.
"That guy over there is my partner, Kisuke Urahara."
Yoruichi pointed toward the slouched figure before suddenly raising her voice.
"Oh? I could've sworn I just heard someone badmouthing me. Kisuke, are you slacking off?"
"No way, can't you see how much fun I'm having?"
Kisuke grinned as he continued digging with a shovel in hand.
