Chapter 208: Not Dare
The next day...
Masatsuki Aozaki took advantage of his day off to spend time with Isane Kotetsu once again, expressing their emotions freely. As dawn broke, they parted ways in the Noble District.
In the 11th Division barracks, the atmosphere was lively as the squad members trained, their faces filled with enthusiasm. Among them, the most distinctive presence was undoubtedly Masatsuki Aozaki, who openly flirted with the female team members.
Yet, not a single person dared to challenge him. Years of camaraderie had firmly established Masatsuki's absolute authority within the squad.
He was the undisputed strongest, and in the minds of his comrades, he was already second only to the Captain-Commander in the entire Gotei 13.
To them, there was only one true leader—Masatsuki Aozaki.
They enjoyed fighting, but they weren't masochists. None of them were foolish enough to invite unnecessary trouble.
It wasn't a question of whether they could win—it was a question of how many days they'd be bedridden after taking a single punch. A fight with him was pointless; it wouldn't even serve as proper training.
"Masatsuki, you're finally back."
A young man with silver hair and narrow eyes, wearing the 11th Division armband over his shoulder, smiled at him.
"Oh, it's Gin-chan! What a coincidence. Finished your work already? I was just thinking of heading to the office to help you out. But since you're done, that makes things easier."
