Chapter 28 - 28 ⥤ The Human-Shaped Mine SweeperFrom the moment he stepped into the 32nd District, his Danger Instinct began frantically warning him, with endless malice emanating from all directions. It felt as if the next step would plunge him into the abyss of death.
Unlike the sword duel with Unohana, whose danger stemmed from pure killing intent — an instinctive desire for battle — the danger in this district was more like a mixture of malice, killing intent, and a disregard for life.
Although they couldn't detect the specific location of the other's Reiatsu, Akira was certain that the source of the malice might be quietly observing them from some hidden corner. Therefore, he dared not make any unusual movements.
Everything proceeded as usual.
It wasn't until they safely left the 32nd District that the Danger Instinct's warning finally subsided, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
"The scent of death..." Aizen furrowed his brow slightly, trying hard to recall all the abnormalities in the district.
He was aware of Akira's inexplicable intuition, so he didn't doubt the truthfulness of these words. But no matter how he tried to remember, he couldn't find any clues.
"Well, no need to worry too much about it." Akira laughed carelessly, "Let Kaoru-sensei and the others deal with the headache when the time comes. We just need to hand over the murderer's Zanpakutō, make an honest report, and then this matter will have nothing to do with us. Plus, we can get a nice reward. Tonight's tofu dishes are on me!"
Aizen nodded imperceptibly.
Although what Akira said made sense, for some reason, he had an uncomfortable feeling ever since hearing those words earlier.
With his current level of Reiatsu, for someone to avoid detection and not be discovered by him, they would have to be at least at a Captain's level, right?
Did this incident actually involve someone at the Captain level? What role did that rogue Shinigami play in all of this? And what was the truth behind everything?
Aizen lowered his eyelids slightly, and in his deliberately concealed pupils, a flame of curiosity burned fiercely.

Shin'ō Academy. Teachers' office.
Uruoi stared at the distinctive Zanpakutō on the desk, lost in thought.
How long has it been? In less than a day, they had investigated the incident and executed the culprit. This kid's strength now rivals that of a high-ranking Seated Officer, doesn't it?
With this in mind, he narrowed his eyes and began to size up Akira, who was lounging in another teacher's chair.
Unfathomable! Utterly unfathomable now!
"This is your well-deserved reward." Uruoi efficiently placed a stack of bills on the desk, "Regarding the intelligence you mentioned about potential greater danger in the 32nd District of East Rukongai, I'll report it truthfully to the Captain-Commander. What happens after this is no longer your concern."
Akira casually pocketed the money and left, dragging along the pensive Aizen.
However, just before exiting, Aizen halted and turned back to say gravely:
"If possible, try to have a Captain investigate this matter."
Uruoi's expression froze, confusion flickering across his face, but upon seeing his serious gaze, he couldn't help but nod.
Although he didn't know much about this student, Sōsuke Aizen, the mere fact that he could keep up with Akira spoke volumes about his abilities.
"I should report to the Captain-Commander immediately." Uruoi snatched up the Zanpakutō from the desk and hurriedly left the office.

Night fell.
Akira got his wish and savored the special tofu dishes at the Academy cafeteria. Though Aizen seemed somewhat distracted during the meal, he still ate heartily.
Tofu was one of his favorite ingredients. Its fragrant aroma, silky texture, and subtle flavor made it nearly impossible to ruin, even for a mediocre chef.
Fortunately, the Academy's culinary staff were far from mediocre.
After dinner, the pair returned to their temporary dormitory right on schedule.
The reconstruction of the Shin'ō men's dormitory was ongoing, so they were housed in a temporary structure built by the 12th Division's re
What is this? A pixelation come to life?!
