Kenpachi Zaraki turned his head, snapping, "Yachiru, you're too noisy!"
Kyōraku Callum smiled and accepted the konpeitō.
Konpeitō, Yachiru Kusajishi's favorite sweet, also symbolized the friendship between Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi.
Only after he accepted the candy did the system notification finally appear.
[Check-in task complete. Reward being issued.]
[Congratulations, host! You have received Shikai's second ability: Spatial Cleaving!]
Now Kyōraku Callum was certain.
His Zanpakutō, though a time-based Zanpakutō, could gain spatial abilities through check-in tasks.
From Spatial Stagnation to Spatial Cleaving.
Only he knew the immense potential hidden within these seemingly simple abilities.
Gaining time-based abilities would require his own efforts. The Time Staircase within his Zanpakutō was the fastest way to improve, aside from system tasks.
Currently, his Shikai's time-stop ability still lasted only 7 seconds, but he could now use it twice—a direct result of his increased spiritual pressure.
Time Rewind hadn't changed much. But Kyōraku Callum sensed that the ability he'd long desired—complete mastery of time manipulation—was within reach.
First Division, Captain's Office. Kyōraku Shunsui, Jūshirō Ukitake, and Unohana Retsu waited silently.
Yamamoto-Genryūsai sat rigidly in his chair, his expression severe.
"Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of the Eleventh Division initiated a fight with Vice-Captain Kyōraku Callum of the Fourth Division," Yamamoto-Genryūsai's powerful voice echoed through the office.
"Their intense battle completely destroyed the Eleventh Division barracks. This is extremely serious and has drawn the attention of the Central 46.
However, considering Kenpachi Zaraki's unique nature and that neither released their Zanpakutō, the Central 46 has entrusted the judgment to me. I wish to hear your opinions on this matter."
Kyōraku Shunsui spoke first. "Yamamoto-old-man, Kyōraku Callum is innocent! He was simply fulfilling his duties as Vice-Captain of the Fourth Division."
Unohana Retsu hesitated slightly before adding, "Kyōraku-kun was indeed forced into the fight."
Yamamoto-Genryūsai turned to Jūshirō Ukitake. "Jūshirō, considering all factors, Kyōraku Callum is indeed innocent."
Silence fell over the Captain's office. After a long moment, Yamamoto-Genryūsai closed his eyes, looking weary.
"Then, let the judgment be as follows."
When Kyōraku Callum learned of his five-year ban from leaving Seireitei, he showed little reaction. It was essentially a slap on the wrist—a mere verbal warning.
Kenpachi Zaraki, however, was banished to the southern Rukongai border to fight Hollows, also for five years.
Kyōraku Callum considered this more of a reward for Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Well, it's a good opportunity to rest," Kyōraku Callum said, relaxing on his hospital bed.
Five years later. Kyōraku residence.
Kyōraku Callum stared at Kyōraku Shunsui in astonishment.
"Captain Isshin is missing?!"
Kyōraku Shunsui nodded gravely. "The Research and Development Institute can no longer detect Shiba Isshin's spiritual pressure. He's either dead or… he's defected from Soul Society!"
After a long moment, Yamamoto-Genryūsai closed his eyes, looking weary.
"Then, let the judgment be as follows."
The sudden news stunned Kyōraku Callum.
Shiba Isshin's disappearance was unexpected.
Wasn't the first Menos Grande already dead at his hands?
There wasn't even a body left; it had been reduced to spiritual particles.
"The cause of his disappearance remains unknown," Kyōraku Shunsui said seriously.
"The disappearance of a Tenth Division Captain has angered Yamamoto-old-man. The First Division is on edge lately; try not to cross paths with him!"
Kyōraku Callum took heed of Kyōraku Shunsui's warning.
Until he achieved a significant power increase, he wouldn't provoke the easily angered Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
"Did Captain Isshin exhibit any unusual behavior before his disappearance?" Kyōraku Callum asked, trying to understand the situation.
Kyōraku Shunsui shook his head. His last known location was a city called Karakura Town in the World of the Living.
Recently, there have been several cases of Shinigami being attacked and killed by unknown assailants in Karakura Town.
Isshin went to Karakura Town to investigate.
Kyōraku Shunsui paused, fixing his gaze on Kyōraku Callum.
"According to the Research and Development Institute, an unusual surge of mixed spiritual pressure was detected in Karakura Town. We suspect Isshin's disappearance is connected to this."
Kyōraku Callum nodded, understanding.
