PDLP Chapter 650 Standard Plot
Chapter 650 Standard Plot
Yuko strolled leisurely on her way to high school, still savoring the taste of the sandwich Masaki had made.
I have to say that Masaki's cooking skills are really good, only slightly inferior to hers.
Yuko's thoughts drifted back to last night, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Rukia Kuchiki, even if it's just a branch family, nobles rarely join a division like the 13th Division, which is stationed in the human world, right?
Moreover, judging from that girl's spiritual pressure level, even if she didn't possess the combat abilities of a seated official, she wasn't far off. Yet, when fighting a Hollow, she was distracted by outsiders and was severely injured before she could even unleash her Shikai...
In that sense, it does fit the character of those noble lords who have never seen blood.
Hmm, it seems she's overthinking it.
However, given her condition last night, her spiritual power was almost completely drained by Ichigo. How is she supposed to return to Soul Society?
Are you going to another city to visit your colleagues?
After all, according to the rules of the Thirteenth Division, only one Shinigami can be stationed in a city.
Compared to that girl, she was actually more interested in Ichigo.
If it weren't for Isshin's suppression, that child's spiritual power would probably be even stronger. The girl's spiritual power acted as a key, unlocking the floodgates of spiritual power within him. Combined with Ichigo's instinctive reaction, this led to the girl's spiritual power being completely absorbed.
"Indeed, this is the right way to portray a protagonist." Yu Zi murmured to herself.
Since today's class was the third period, Yuko wasn't worried about missing it and walked leisurely towards school.
After greeting the teachers at the school gate who were catching late students, Yu Zi went straight to the teachers' office, greeted her colleagues familiarly, made herself a cup of hot tea, and went to her workstation to start grading assignments.
A short while later, Ochi Miyu returned to the office with the teaching materials and came to him immediately.
Yuko looked up in confusion: "Is something wrong, Miyu?"
Ochi Miyu explained, "A new transfer student has joined our class, so I came to let you know so you won't be unaware."
The homeroom teacher is always the first to know and make arrangements for transfer students.
"A transfer student?" Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be...? "What kind of person is he?"
"Kuchiki Rukia is a very cute girl."
Yuko's lips twitched slightly; this was a very standard development in a shonen manga story.
Should I start showing off in front of my classmates?
It’s so hard to guess.
Yu Zi sighed, "I understand, I'll keep an eye on it."
The third period was Yuko's math class.
As class was about to start, Yu Zi took her textbook and water bottle and walked towards the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1.
When I arrived at the classroom, I happened to run into Ichigo and Rukia coming out.
Yu Zi asked casually, "It's almost time for class, where else do you want to go?"
Ichigo broke out in a cold sweat, glanced at Yuuko, then at Rukia, and instinctively chose to turn back.
As for why we were so nervous, we need to rewind a bit.
Because of the incident involving Ichigo's family, he missed the morning class and arrived at the classroom after the second class.
"Kojima, don't you usually come with Ichigo?" Inoue Orihime and Tatsuki asked Kojima Mizuiro because they were worried about Ichigo.
“I went to see him in the morning and found that his house had been hit by a truck that crashed into it late at night.”
"A truck?" Long Gui immediately tensed up. "Is he injured?"
"still……"
Before Long Gui could finish asking his question, a shoulder bag hit him on the back of the head.
"I'm perfectly fine." Ichigo looked at them speechlessly. "My family is all safe and sound too. Disappointed, aren't you?"
As everyone was chatting, Ichigo arrived at his seat and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.
"Hey, you must be Kurosaki Ichigo?"
The familiar voice made Ichigo turn his head subconsciously, and then he saw Rukia Kuchiki, dressed in her school uniform, sitting obediently next to him.
"what?"
While Ichigo looked on blankly, Mizuiro introduced, "This is Kuchiki, a transfer student who just enrolled at the school today. It seems that he transferred here midway through the semester due to some family issues."
“You, how could you…” Ichigo pointed at her tremblingly.
"Kurosaki-san, I haven't received my textbook yet," Rukia said with a smile, extending her hand. "Could I borrow yours first?"
Ichigo looked down and saw that it was written on the palm of his hand.
If you dare to speak, kill!
So, Ichigo was caught by Rukia and dragged out of the classroom, where he unexpectedly ran into Ikuko, who was coming to class.
Ichigo hesitated for less than a second between Ikuko and Rukia before making his choice.
go back!
What a joke!
Offending Death is just death, but offending Aunt Yuko is worse than death.
Rukia looked at Ichigo, who had immediately cowered, speechless, and had no choice but to go back.
We'll just have to wait a bit longer; the students are really working hard.
Suddenly, Yuko placed her hand on her shoulder.
Rukia paused for a moment, then turned around.
"You must be the transfer student, Kuchiki-kun?" Yuko greeted him with a smile. "I heard from your homeroom teacher..."
Yuko paused for a moment, her expression unusually surprised.
Rukia nodded honestly: "Yes."
"I'm your math teacher, just call me Ms. Yu Zi. Let's go into the classroom, class is about to start."
"Ah."
Ikuko's gaze remained fixed on Rukia as she sat back down.
To be honest, Ikuko wasn't surprised that Shinigami possessed artificial bodies or anything like that.
Perhaps nowadays, all the Shinigami stationed in the human world from Soul Society prepare a set of artificial bodies for their daily activities, but she subconsciously scanned Rukia's body with her Clear Vision and discovered it just now.
The jade hidden deep within the body...
Broken jade.
Whose Hōgyoku is it?
Inize? Or Urahara?
But if it's Urahara, what's the reason?
Yuko had never really paid much attention to Urahara Store's activities, nor had she ever delved into them. She was also unaware of Urahara Kisuke's current research or anything else.
But this girl is undoubtedly from Soul Society. When did Urahara get involved with Soul Society again?
He then stuffed the Hogyoku into the Gikai for the girl's use in just one night.
Or perhaps this artificial body had already been in the hands of this girl.
If it wasn't Kisuke, why would Aizen do this?
What reason could there be for the Hogyoku to end up in the mortal world?
What kind of experiment is it?
Yuko couldn't help but stare at Rukia a few more times. Could it be one of those experiments where a Shinigami's body is used as a vessel, and the user's abilities are released to transform them into an incredibly powerful monster?
Is Aizen planning to cause chaos in Karakura Town?
Yuko stared at Rukia for an entire class but didn't see any reaction from the Hogyoku. Instead, Rukia's spiritual power was being continuously decomposed.
At first, Yuko thought that the decomposition ability was the Hogyoku playing tricks, but after observing it carefully for a while, she found that it was an inherent function of this artificial body.
She couldn't understand it.
It seems I'll have to find some time to go and ask Urahara after today.
As the bell rang, Yuko began packing her things, preparing to leave.
Just then, Rukia came looking for them.
"Ms. Yu Zi, you've been looking at me during class, is there something you need?"
Yuko's observation did not conceal her identity, or rather, with such a method of surveillance, it was normal for her to be discovered unless she used her abilities.
Yuko hesitated for a moment, then her gaze unconsciously swept over Rukia's hair, and she blurted out, "Onion head."
"what?"
"I just thought Rukia's hair was very unique, that's all."
Before Rukia could react, Ikuko made her escape.
Rukia subconsciously touched her head, and before she could react, she turned around and saw a group of people surrounding her.
Rukia was startled by the group's silent approach: "W-what's wrong?"
"Amazing!"
The crowd remained silent, offering only praise.
"Huh?" Rukia tilted her head, looking at Ichigo with a questioning expression. "Hey Ichigo! Why are they looking at me like that?"
“…Who knows!” Ichigo’s face twitched violently.
Keigo Asano gave a thumbs up: "You're the second person in the class to get a nickname from Ms. Yuko."
"what?"
Keigo Asano twisted his body: "I never expected that you would have such an honor after just transferring schools. I'm so jealous."
Rukia's expression froze for a moment, and she subconsciously asked, "Who's the first one?"
Keigo Asano turned around with a displeased expression.
Rukia followed his gaze and saw that it was in Ichigo's direction.
Ichigo, barely able to contain himself, exclaimed, "What kind of face is that?!"
Keigo Asano slammed his fist on the table in frustration: "Damn it! I'm so envious!"
"..."
They can no longer be described as normal people.
Rukia asked curiously, "What's Ichigo's nickname?"
"Didn't you have something to say?"
Before anyone could answer, Ichigo squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Rukia, and pulled her out of the classroom.
Ichigo only let go of Rukia's hand after leading her all the way to the outside of the school building.
"Didn't you have something to say?"
Rukia bluntly replied, "I need your help!"
"what?"
"Because I have lost the power of death."
"Huh? I... I've already turned back into a normal person, haven't I?"
Rukia pointed at him and said, "Your soul has become a death god."
"To sum it up in one sentence, last night you almost took away all my power. Now I only have enough power left to use Kido. I can rely on Gikai now."
"Artificial body?"
"It's a body for emergencies. When the Grim Reaper is extremely weak, he can use a prosthetic body to wait for his strength to recover."
"You must complete the Grim Reaper's mission for me before I regain my strength!"
"What did you say?"
“Of course, you are the one with the power of a Shinigami now,” Rukia said firmly. “Of course, I will also assist you.”
"I told you beforehand, you can't say no, you..."
"I refuse." Kurosaki Ichigo crossed his arms and sneered, "My favorite thing to do is to say that to those who think they have an absolute advantage and that their demands are not to be refused..."
"There's nothing I can do, don't blame me." Rukia muttered with her head down, taking a glove out of her pocket and putting it on.
Ichigo looked completely bewildered: "What?"
Before he could react, Rukia lunged forward and struck Ichigo on the chin, knocking Ichigo's soul, which had already transformed into a Shinigami, out of his body.
"Whoa!" Ichigo stared at himself in astonishment. "How could this happen? My soul left my body?"
"Hey, come with me."
……
After the two left, Yuko returned from the convenience store. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a blond-haired man. Her hand, which was drinking coffee milk, trembled, and she turned her head to look.
Ichigo lay face down on the ground.
“Hmm…” Yuko looked around but did not find Ichigo’s spirit.
Were they taken down?
just kidding.
He probably skipped school with that girl from the Kuchiki family and went sightseeing.
But you two should at least hide yourselves before you leave. If someone finds out, won't the teachers and principal be scared half to death?
Yuko sighed, quickly finished her milk, and then picked up Ichigo and headed towards the infirmary.
……
In the afternoon, Ichigo seemed to have found his body in the infirmary.
Yu Zi said calmly, "If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to have to consider calling your parents."
Ichigo glanced at Rukia standing at the door of the infirmary and gave an awkward smile: "I'm sorry."
Yu Zi tilted her head: "Your diet should be fine. Did you stay up late last night?"
Ichigo was sweating profusely, and in a way, that was true.
After giving Ichigo a fright, Yuko left contentedly.
The time soon came to evening.
After finishing her workday, Yuko said goodbye to her poor colleagues who were still at get off work, and left the school gate, heading towards Urahara Store.
"This way."
A voice called out to Yu Zi from the wall at the school gate.
Yuko turned around and looked at Yoruichi on the wall: "Are you trying to explain this to me?"
"Hmm." Yoruichi jumped down from the wall, landed in Yuuko's arms, stretched, and lay down comfortably. "But I just came to say hello because I was bored. You should ask Kisuke for details."
"...What use are you?"
Despite saying that, Yuko still couldn't bring herself to abandon Yoruichi and took her with her to Urahara Store.
“Welcome~”
Knowing that Yuko would be coming, Kisuke Urahara was at the door in a flash, bowing his head respectfully.
"No gift."
"Yes, Your Highness~"
Yoruichi rolled her eyes: "So this isn't going to be over, is it?"
Yu Zi glanced down at her: "This seems to be dirt on me, doesn't it?"
"Mine too."
Upon entering the room, Xiaoyu brought the freshly brewed tea to the table.
Ikuko and Urahara Kisuke sat opposite each other.
Kisuke Urahara waved his fan lightly: "First, that Hogyoku is mine."
"Secondly, I also lent Rukia her artificial body."
Yu Zi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "That 'gikai' doesn't seem like a decent person."
"Have we been found out?" Kisuke Urahara scratched his head. "But I thought you'd be more concerned about the Hogyoku."
"What's the big deal about that kind of trash?"
“Trash…” Kisuke Urahara almost fell headfirst onto the table, sweating profusely as he said, “That’s not trash.”
"It's a dangerous thing."
"If it's dangerous, why do it?"
Kisuke Urahara smiled slightly: "Then, if Ikuko doesn't use her special vision, can she still detect the Hogyoku?"
