Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 - 96: Witnessing Strength

Masatsuki Aozaki led Suì-Fēng away from the gathering crowd, distancing themselves from any unnecessary trouble.

As they walked, he rubbed his chin.

"Suì... Shāolíng Fēng, can I just call you Suì-Fēng from now on?"

He had always referred to her as Suì-Fēng in his previous life, and changing how he addressed her so suddenly felt a bit unnatural.

Shāolíng Fēng was briefly taken aback before nodding. "Of course."

The codename "Suì-Fēng" originally belonged to her grandmother, and she had inherited it upon joining the Onmitsukidō.

As a lower noble family, the Fēng clan had a long history of serving as executioners and assassins. Anyone who failed to join the Executive Militia was exiled. Because of this, members of the Fēng family underwent Onmitsukidō training from an early age.

For someone like Shāolíng Fēng, who had grown up under strict family training, using codenames was second nature.

So when Masatsuki made his request, she didn't think much of it.

Masatsuki nodded. "Suì-Fēng, let's skip the office area for now. Next up are the training grounds and the Nest of Maggots. Where do you want to go first?"

"Where to go... I heard that Aozaki 3rd Seat and Lady Yoruichi are quite close. Is that true?" Rather than answering, Suì-Fēng posed a question of her own.

Masatsuki immediately sensed hostility, but he remained composed and openly admitted, "That's right."

Suì-Fēng stopped in her tracks. "I want to go to the training grounds—seeing Aozaki 3rd Seat's strength would be even better."

Masatsuki was momentarily stunned but quickly understood.

So, she sees me as a romantic rival and wants to test me.

If it were anyone else, he would've beaten them into submission and left them in the dirt without a second thought.

But since it was Suì-Fēng, he was willing to show a little more patience.

Leading the young girl, Masatsuki stepped into the training grounds. "Wait here for a moment."

With that, he walked over to the Shinigami guarding the area.

The guard seemed a little surprised to see him but said nothing, simply leading the two of them to one of the best training grounds in the 2nd Division. A wooden sign with the character "三" (Three) hung at the entrance.

—This was the exclusive training ground for the 3rd Seat of the 2nd Division.

Masatsuki had always treated the Nest of Maggots as his personal training space, so he had never actually been here before—hence why he needed guidance.

Many of the squad members who had been training turned their attention toward them.

They had never seen Masatsuki Aozaki in this training ground before.

And now, seeing him bring a beautiful girl inside, curiosity spread among them.

Wasn't Aozaki 3rd Seat afraid that the Commander-in-Chief would be angry if she found out?

In the crowd, a short, chubby young man with short black hair—who didn't seem much older than Suì-Fēng—watched the scene unfold with a look of impatience.

"Don't break anything, or our family will have to pay for the repairs."

Marenoshin Ōmaeda smacked the boy on the head. "You brat, all you ever think about is money. Pay attention!"

"Don't underestimate people. Even I wouldn't dare say I could definitely beat Masatsuki!"

The chubby boy clutched his head, eyes wide with surprise.

His father's strength had been recognized by the head of the Shihōin Clan.

The Ōmaeda family had held the position of Lieutenant of the 2nd Division for generations, not just because of their wealth but because each generation produced individuals with the talent to join the Onmitsukidō.

And his father, Marenoshin Ōmaeda, was a rare genius within the family.

Marenoshin smirked. If only this kid had more ambition.

But he knew that was wishful thinking.

This brat only cared about money and food—who even taught him to be like this?

He shook his head, causing the large gold chain around his neck to jangle.

...

Meanwhile, seeing that Masatsuki Aozaki had no intention of attacking, Suì-Fēng made a decision.

—She would strike first and teach this villain, who had stolen Lady Yoruichi's heart, a lesson.

Suì-Fēng took a deep breath, shifted her stance, and in the blink of an eye, vanished.

At some point, the Zanpakutō that had been at her waist was now in her grip. _{freeweb\n(o)v.e\l.com}
