204 Chapter 204: Hirako Shinji Appears

Ichigo felt that in the recent days, his life had finally calmed down. After Rurichiyo returned to Soul Society, no one harassed him anymore. Of course, occasionally he still thought of Rurichiyo and Rukia, after all, he doesn't know about their condition and how they were doing in Soul Society.

Carrying his schoolbag and ignoring the usual ruckus caused by his classmate Asano Keigo, Ichigo walked into the classroom.

He had to say that the class that he was in had a lot of strange things. Along the way, Ichigo always met some strange classmates, but fortunately, he had been with them for a long time, so he could barely adapt to them.

Walking into the classroom, he saw that Uryuu, Sado, and Orihime had already arrived. After the students sat on their respective seats, their class teacher arrived in the classroom soon, and first called out those students who had not yet returned to their seats to get back to their seats. After that, the class teacher came to her desk and said, "Very good, everyone is present in the class today. Even though Oshima and Sorimachi didn't come, but its fine, after all they are delinquents, they must be doing well."

Hearing this, the people below all had black lines on their foreheads. 

'Is this really what a teacher should say?'

"Now then, I have another great news to tell you. Our class is going to have a transfer student." 

"Come in. First, introduce yourself to the class." After the class teacher finished speaking, the new transfer student walked in.

Immediately, the students saw a young man who had brown eyes and jaw-length blonde hair with a straight cut and many of his facial expressions reveal his upper teeth which were so white that they could almost be used in toothpaste advertisements.

Then he went to the podium, picked up the chalk and wrote four big characters on the blackboard, but the characters were written backwards.

"Hi everyone, my name is Hirako Shinji. From today on, I am your new classmate, please take care of me." Standing on the podium, Shinji introduced himself. After disappearing for a hundred years, he finally reappeared in front of the world. As for why he appeared in Ichigo's class, only he himself could make it clear.

(T.L Note: Not really)

At this time, the head teacher pointed to his handwriting and said, "Hirako, you wrote it backwards-." 

"The writing is not bad, right? I am very good at writing retrograde characters. Sensei, can I sit at the same desk with a cute girl?" Shinji asked.

The homeroom teacher thought for a while and pointed to the seat next to Ichigo, "Just sit over there."

Shinji didn't object to the teacher's arrangement, he just walked to the seat next to Ichigo and sat down, and said to Ichigo who was still immersed in thoughts, "We will be desk mates from now on, let's get along well, Kurosaki-kun."

After speaking this, Shinji's eyes seemed a little weird, and it was as if he couldn't help but look at Ichigo more and more, but Ichigo didn't notice this abnormality, and just greeted normally, Oh yes, let's get along well from now on."

At evening, when Ichigo returned home, he sat on the bed in a daze, next to the chattering small lion stuffed toy called Kon which was a modified soul inside. Suddenly the shinigami substitute card on the bed sent off an alarm.

Ichigo had no choice but to change back into his shinigami form and let the modified soul enter his body temporarily. Before leaving, he told Kon not to run around or do strange things using his body and then jumped out of the window. But he didn't know that Kon who was controlling his physical body ran out shortly after he left.

After running a few streets, Ichigo found the huge hollow. With his current strength, it was easily killed by him.

"Hey, you, who are you? You are dressed exactly like shinigami. Are you a suspicious person?" On the nearby roof, was an afro-haired shinigami, who had stood there at some point, and was looking at Ichigo in surprise.

"Who are you?" Ichigo looked at that shinigami and asked.

'When did Karakura Town had such a shinigami, I haven't seen him before.'

"Me? I'm Kurumadani Zennosuke, an elite shinigami who is temporarily managing this area in place of the former-criminal Kuchiki Rukia. Why, are you afraid?" Zennosuke looked like he was glad that someone got intimidated by him. 

"I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, a substitute shinigami, and this is the proxy card."

"What, what is that, I have never heard of such a thing." Zennosuke laughed in surprise.

"Is this thing useless?" Ichigo looked at the proxy card in his hand and complained in a low voice. Suddenly he heard the sound of friction between a blade and a scabbard. He turned around and saw that Shinji's figure had appeared behind him and was slashing at him with a sword.

"Are you... Hirako? Also, is that a Zanpakuto?" Ichigo raised Zangetsu to block the attack and his expression changed drastically after he clearly saw the details.

The sword in Hirako's hand was without a doubt, a Zanpakuto, and upon realizing this, the reiatsu on Ichigo's body rose slightly.

"Shh, Ichigo, people with strong reiatsu like you can't just leak it just because you are nervous, this will be perceived by many kinds of people." Shinji said softly with his index finger in front of his mouth.

"Perceived? By whom?"

"By whom? Seriously, if I don't tell you about everything specifically, you won't understand, do you? What an idiot…"

Suddenly, Ichigo sensed a huge reiatsu appearing in Karakura Town and by their nature, it should be hollow's reiatsu. After feeling it clearly, there seemed to be more than one hollow's reiatsu, and one of them was moving very quickly.

In the Soul Society, with the return of Kasumioji Rurichiyo, the head of the Kasumioji family, to the Soul Society, the matter of the Bakkōtō could be regarded as truly ended.

The retainer Kumoi Gyokaku pleaded guilty, and all of the Bakkōtō were confiscated and then destroyed.

Amagai Shusuke even handed over the Bakkōtō that was in his possession.

Originally, he was planning to resign from his position as the captain of the Fifth Division, even if he reined in the precipice because he learned the real truth, but after all, he once tried to harm Seireitei, so he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

But in the end, the head-captain rejected his plea of resignation.

In Yamamoto's words, Aizen and his ilk were still at large. Gotei 13 was still in need of capable personnel. Although he once wanted to mess the Seireitei, he was unaware of the truth. Moreover, he averted a disaster for Seireitei, and indirectly saved Kasumioji family from falling sompletely into the abyss, so he must remain the captain of the Fifth Division.

Ever since then, in various parts of Seireitei, people could often see Shusuke with his vice-captain Hinamori Momo doing good deeds everywhere.

Until this day, something happened inside the Seireitei again.

There was a shinigami who died and the cause of his death was… he was killed by his own Zanpakuto's power.
