"Sosuke, what are you going to repay me with?!"
On a small path outside the Seireitei, not far from the Shino Academy, Mikami Yu stretched out a trembling hand, pointing at the blue and white uniformed boy in front of him.
The boy, called Sosuke, sighed.
"Mikami... I told you before we left, the Shino Academy is too far from the 1st Division Barracks. It's impossible for me to get you there in a minute."
"At our speed, it would take at least two or three hours to run to the 1st Division Barracks."
"And even if we got there, we wouldn't be able to get in. The 1st Division is the core of the Gotei 13 and would never allow students to enter freely."
Listening to the boy's words, Mikami Yu sighed and sat down on the ground, his whole body turning gray.
This is the Soul Society, the world of BLEACH.
Half a year ago, he transmigrated to this world and became a freshman at the Shino Academy, named Mikami Yu.
And the boy standing next to him is also somewhat famous in BLEACH, named Aizen Sosuke.
At first, when Mikami Yu found out that he and the legendary Aizen were in the same class, he was quite frightened. He was always careful and wary of the latter, lest he show anything strange and be targeted by this old schemer.
But… after a few months, he gradually realized that this young Aizen wasn't as perverted as he had imagined.
In terms of zanpakuto, hakuda, kido, and hoho, this guy was only better than him in kido.
After several probes, Mikami Yu gradually became convinced that although Aizen would be powerful and invincible in the future, he was still just a normal student at the top of his class.
He guessed that Aizen must have encountered some opportunity after graduation that suddenly made him stronger.
Only then would the big BOSS Aizen truly step onto the stage of history.
And he, a former classmate, might no longer be in Aizen's memory by then.
Mikami Yu didn't care about that.
After all, to him, this era without video games and the internet was meaningless even if he ruled the world.
His goal was simple – to get good grades at the Shino Academy, enter the Gotei 13, and get a position like a Seated Officer, so he could live the samurai class life and leech off the people of Rukongai.
Until two minutes ago, he changed his life goal.
The reason was that his golden finger had finally arrived late.
[Cultivation Binding System is activating... Activation successful! ]
[In one minute, the system will bind to the unit with the highest cultivation talent within 500 meters of the host. ]
[After binding, each time the unit improves its strength, if the host's strength is lower than that unit, it will automatically synchronize to the same level of strength. ]
[Countdown, 59, 58... ]
Hearing the system prompt, Mikami Yu, who was in class, jumped up as if he had been electrocuted.
Under the surprised gaze of the teacher and his classmates, he quickly said, "Sorry, Teacher, my stomach hurts!"
Then, he grabbed Aizen, who was sitting behind him.
"Sosuke, hurry, take me to the infirmary!"
Before the teacher could react, he dragged Aizen out.
While running, he said anxiously, "Sosuke, hurry and take me to the 1st Division Barracks. This is your good brother's lifelong request!"
Almost the moment the system started counting down, he had made up his mind to bind to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
As long as he could synchronize with Yamamoto, he would be invincible in the Soul Society in the future!
What Aizen (limited to the boy version), what Kurosaki Ichigo, what Kuchiki Ginrei, he would cut them all down, one by one!
Then, he was betrayed by his good brother.
Aizen, the pit, couldn't take him to the 1st Division Barracks at all. Before they had run a kilometer, the system automatically activated and bound to Aizen.
Mikami Yu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Although he knew that Aizen would become a great figure in the future, who knew when that would be.
The lifespans of Soul Reapers were so long. What if Aizen didn't start getting stronger until a hundred or two hundred years later? Wouldn't he enjoy a hundred or two hundred years less of a life of lying down and winning?
That would be a great loss.
Looking at Mikami Yu's devastated appearance, Aizen shook his head helplessly.
"Although I don't know what you're planning, now that you've failed, hurry back to class."
"With Teacher Kinoshita's temper, if he finds out that you faked your illness to skip class, he'll break your legs."
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to Mikami Yu, who was sitting on the ground.
Mikami Yu took his hand and stood up.
Looking at the brown-haired boy in front of him, Mikami Yu solemnly stretched out his hand and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Sosuke, you must work hard to become a man who stands above everyone else, invincible in the world!"
After saying that, he emphasized again as if he was not reassured, "You must work hard!"
Aizen: "..."
Seeing that Mikami Yu didn't seem to be joking, he suddenly thought that this guy might really be sick.
After a while, the two returned to the Shino Academy.
The last class of the morning had ended, and Teacher Kinoshita had left the classroom.
Seeing the two return, a man with a gentle face, long black hair, and feminine beauty stood up and walked over.
"Yu, why are you back so soon? Is there something wrong with your body?"
Mikami Yu waved his hand and sighed, "There's nothing wrong with my body, but my heart has been hurt a lot."
Just as the feminine man was about to say something, a sneer suddenly sounded next to him.
"Mikami, you should be more worried about your legs than your heartache."
"When Teacher Kinoshita left just now, he went to the infirmary. I can't imagine what his reaction will be when he finds out you're not there."
Hearing this, Mikami Yu looked shocked.
If Teacher Kinoshita found out that he had maliciously skipped class, the consequences would be very bad.
He hasn't become the strongest in the Soul Society yet, so he can't be folded here!
Just as he was wondering if he should take a few days off, the black-haired man shook his head with a smile.
"Yu, don't listen to Seinosuke's nonsense. Teacher Kinoshita went to the Kendo Hall."
Mikami Yu glared and looked at the classmate lying on the table.
"Good for you, Seinosuke, you're trying to trick your brother, aren't you? Don't leave after school. I'll beat the shit out of you!"
Yamada Seinosuke clicked his tongue and said to the black-haired boy, "Young Master Kuchiki, that's not cool."
"Don't listen to him, Teacher Sojun, you did the right thing."
Mikami Yu folded his arms: "If we don't take care of guys like Seinosuke, they'll become a scourge to the Soul Society sooner or later. Either they'll be locked up in Muken for the rest of their lives, or they'll be sent to Sōkyoku to be burned to death. You're saving him from the edge of the cliff, and he has to thank us."
Yamada Seinosuke said with a chuckle, "I'm a scourge to the Soul Society? Ah, that's hilarious. Mikami, have you forgotten how you used to evaluate those old men in Central 46?"
"How did I evaluate them? I am loyal to Central 46. If the old men tell me to go east, I will never go west!"
Hearing this, Yamada Seinosuke opened his eyes wide, seemingly shocked by his shamelessness, and couldn't speak for a moment.
Kuchiki Sōjun, who was standing next to him, finally found a chance to interject.
He raised his hand: "Um, Yu, you can call me Kuchiki, or Sojun, but can you please stop using that weird name, Teacher Sojun..."
"Okay, Teacher Sojun, I'll remember that."
Mikami nodded seriously.
Looking at these unreliable classmates, Aizen couldn't help but sigh.
