Chapter 97: Masked Monster
At that moment, Masatsuki Aozaki seemed almost possessed by Retsu Unohana.
Just as Unohana had once done during a Zanjutsu class at the Shin'ō Academy, he pointed out each flaw in Suì-Fēng's combat technique with precise clarity.
The onlookers mentally reenacted the battle between the two and quickly realized that Masatsuki was absolutely right, prompting murmurs of amazement.
As she listened to him highlight her weaknesses and offer solutions, Suì-Fēng's sharp eyes lit up—only to dim again a moment later.
If this man is my rival, how can I possibly remain by Lady Yoruichi's side?
As soon as their sparring match ended, several team members clenched their fists in anticipation, itching to challenge him next.
Unlike their more laid-back superior, these members were brimming with motivation.
Masatsuki, however, had no interest in them whatsoever, his expression making it clear that he found the idea bothersome.
He was willing to humor Suì-Fēng because she was Suì-Fēng—but as for the rest, they could find something else to do.
Scratching his head, he absentmindedly grabbed Suì-Fēng's hand and glanced toward the mountains northwest of the barracks.
