Chapter 152: Enemy Attack
Almost simultaneously, Masatsuki Aozaki and Sōjun Kuchiki sensed that something was wrong.
Given Kōga Kuchiki's personality, if he had suffered such a devastating blow, he would have either lashed out in a fit of rage or fallen into unbearable despair.
Yet now, he was disturbingly calm—indifferent to an almost unnatural degree.
Sōjun couldn't help but wonder if Kōga had lost all hope.
A deep sense of guilt welled up inside him.
He should have stepped in sooner, done something to ease the strained relationship between his father and Kōga.
As a former instructor at Shin'ō Academy, Sōjun had long been aware of the tension between them. But Ginrei Kuchiki was a stubborn man, and Sōjun's subtle attempts at mediation had been completely ineffective.
Now, with things at this point, he regretted not addressing the issue more directly when he had the chance.
Masatsuki, on the other hand, seemed deep in thought, mumbling to himself,
"This feeling... it's familiar. Kyōka Suigetsu, can you take a look for me?"
Without hesitation, he grasped the hilt of Banshō Senran, silently reciting the release incantation.
