“1!2!3—pop!”

“1!2!3—Bang!”

“1!2!3—boom!”

The warm morning sun shines a beam of sunlight through the window, making the empty Dojo No. 34 bright.

Under the golden sunshine, two sweaty figures were seen waving wooden swords and rushing towards each other. You came and I went, neither giving way.

"Snapped!"

Kibuneri's wooden sword knocked the other wooden sword out of Fugami Taichi's hand, then he slid forward and slashed the latter's neck hard with the wooden sword!

"thump!"

Feng Shen Taiyi fell to the ground in response, feeling exhausted and out of breath, so he took off the armor on his body one by one, and then lay on the ground breathing heavily. After a long time, he said:

"Yu, Kifune, you...your swordsmanship is so powerful! I'm not even your enemy!"

"Hey! Fengshen...it's not that my swordsmanship is great!"

Kifune shook his head and said: "It's because your swordsmanship is too poor. You're as loose as a plate of loose sand. I defeated you easily."

"Then what can be done!"

Feng Shen Taiyi struggled to sit up from the floor, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said: "I have never learned this since I was a child..."

"Then you're going to be miserable! 'Zhou Fist Walking Ghost' is a compulsory subject in the official exam in three months' time. If you still maintain this level by then, you will definitely be eliminated by the academy!"

"That's right!"

Fuugami Taichi picked up the wooden sword, then stood up with difficulty, gestured at Kifune a few times and said: "Kibune, please continue!"

"Then, I'm going to do it!"

Kifuri raised his wooden sword and rushed straight towards Fuugami Taichi. When the latter raised his wooden sword to resist, he slipped to one side and stabbed the wooden sword with his backhand.

With a "pop" sound, Feng Shen Taiyi dropped the wooden knife again, and flew back five or six meters before falling heavily to the floor. The fall made him dizzy and he no longer had the strength to get up.

"Wind God!" Kifuri took back his wooden sword, walked forward quickly and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine……"

Feng Shen Taiyi struggled to turn over, lying on the ground regardless of his appearance and sighed: "Maybe I really don't have any talent in kendo!"

Kifune thought for a while and replied: "Fujin, actually you don't need to be discouraged! I heard that Shinnosuke Fujiwara, who lives with us, was eliminated twice in succession when he entered school that year!"

"That guy Fujiwara is actually...a strong man who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!"

Taichi Fuugami recalled the scene where Fujiwara Shinnosuke showed him the Zanpakutō Yukihime that day, sighed and asked:

"By the way, isn't the water-soluble guy in our dormitory a special promotion? Why does he live with us too?"

"Because he was from Rukongai! In his original dormitory, he was ostracized by three roommates who were from noble families!

I heard that one of them belongs to the Tsunayashiro family, one of the four great nobles, and he can’t afford to offend anyone! So he can only squeeze in with us who are also from Rukongai!"

A trace of gloom flashed across Kibuneri's face. It was obvious that he was not interested in the hierarchical system of Soul Society, so he spoke in a weird and eccentric manner.

"So this is ah!"

Although Feng Shen Taichi also knew that Soul Society’s hierarchy was strict and harsh, he didn’t really care:

After all, there is an unwritten rule in Soul Society, which is that "as long as a Shinigami obtains the position of chief officer or above in the Gotei 13, he will be regarded as a lower-level noble by default."

Although this kind of lower-level nobles are not recognized by the established nobles, they have gained their status and rights by relying on their strength, so they do not look down upon the original nobles who relied on their ancestors.

The established nobles also looked down upon this group of low-level nobles with mud-legged backgrounds, so when the Gotei 13 was first established, there were frequent fights and brawls between the two.

However, as more and more Shinigami came from Rukongai, the interests of the established nobles became less and less protected, so Central Room 64 had to add a rule:

That is, the sixth division of the Gotei Thirteenth Division is composed entirely of nobles' children, and its captain is served by the Kuchiki family, the model of the four nobles, in order to protect the absolute privileges and interests of the nobles.

Passed down to this day, the current captain of Division 6 is the 28th generation head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki!

There are rumors that, as a dignified example of the four nobles, he actually fell in love with a woman from Rukongai, and even got married to that woman despite the opposition of the clan elders!

"Is that woman... Kuchiki Hijin?!"

Taichi Feng Shen thought of the noble lady he met in the Alfalfa District, and thought to himself: As long as two people love each other, it's enough, no matter what their origins are?!

"But having said that...even though it was a quick glance that day, I always felt that Kuchiki Hijin looked a lot like Rukia...could they be mother and daughter?"

As soon as this idea came up, Feng Shen Taichi hurriedly gave up the idea, and instead thought about how to integrate the "Shunpo Theory" he saw in the library into the "Wind Control True Fire One-Sword Style" taught by the woman in red...

"Hey! Fengshen!"

Just when Feng Shen Taichi was deep in thought, Na Kifuri broke the silence of the dojo and said: "Class is about to start, let's go!"

"good……"

Fuugami Taichi stood up from the ground and followed Kibuneri to the outside of the dojo. He casually asked, "What's the class today?"

“In the morning, it’s Mr. Saito’s Kidō class, with groups 3 and 4, at the No. 3 dojo.

In the afternoon, it’s Teacher Tachibana’s kendo class, with Group 5, at Dojo No. 1.”

"Tachibana-sensei? Which Tachibana-sensei?"

When Taichi Feng Shen heard the word "tangerine", he suddenly shivered because he suddenly remembered the legendary "Tachibana Family God's Dream Itto Style"!

"It seems to be called Tachibana Ishikyo!"

Kifuri recalled it for a moment, and then asked Fujin Taichi: "What's wrong? Do you know Teacher Tachibana??"

"No..." Feng Shen Taiyi shook his head, but the image of the woman in red in the Blade Zen space appeared in his mind, and he thought to himself:

Is there any connection between the Wind-controlling Kamuo Itto-ryu she teaches and the Tachibana family's Kamidream One-sword style? Then... what is her name... and what is her origin?

…

In fact, speaking of Kuchiki Hijin, friends all know that in the setting of "Bleach", Kuchiki Hijin died of illness five years after her marriage to Kuchiki Byakuya. Before she died, she asked the latter to take care of her sister Rukia for her.

——

At that time, Rukia had already enrolled in the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy, so Byakuya Kuchiki found her easily and incorporated her into the Kuchiki family as the 28th head of the family, becoming Rukia Kuchiki...
