Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Unohana's Suggestion

"Captain Unohana, the last batch of medicine is almost used up. I've come to get more," Sora said, walking into the courtyard.

"How is Batsunsai now? Is she able to get up?" Unohana didn't turn around, continuing to prune the tea tree.

"She has recovered a bit. She's been able to get up and walk around for the past two days, and she can also eat normally," Sora said.

Unohana paused her movements. "Then it's not the worst-case scenario. This is all I can do. The next time her injury relapses, it won't be easy to say."

Unohana gave up pruning and turned to face him. "Katori-kun, I heard a new swordsmanship instructor has come to the academy. That new instructor also happens to be named Katori."

"It is thanks to Headmaster Kotetsu's appreciation that I had the opportunity," Sora said with a smile.

"Before I knew it, you have grown to the point where you can teach students..." A faint smile appeared on Unohana's lips. "You must have inherited Batsunsai's swordsmanship. The day the Katori Dojo reopens is just around the corner."

"I only know the basics. My swordsmanship is still far from Batsunsai's," Sora said modestly.

"You don't have to be so modest. If your swordsmanship wasn't up to par, Batsunsai wouldn't have let you go out and tarnish the name of the Katori Style," Unohana chuckled and suddenly said, "Why don't you let me see right here how much of the essence of the Katori Style you have mastered?"

Sora looked troubled. Sparring with Unohana was a very dangerous thing. If he got her excited, she might not be able to hold back and would kill him in a second.

"You didn't bring any money today either, did you?" Unohana said with a grin. "If you're willing to let me see your swordsmanship, I'll waive the fee for this time's medicine. The previous debts are also waived."

Sora was tempted. The medicine Batsunsai needed was expensive. "Please guide me, Captain Unohana," he said, throwing caution to the wind.

"Such a determined gaze!" Unohana's smile widened. "Don't worry I will suppress my Spiritual Pressure to the minimum. If you don't die, I will heal your injuries for free"

As Unohana spoke these terrifying words, she drew her Zanpakutō. Sora said nothing. His right hand reached for his waist, his left hand tightly gripping the scabbard.

A gentle breeze blew. A single green leaf floated between the two of them. Just then, a flash of sword light suddenly erupted. The green leaf was split in two.

Clang, clang, clang, clang—

Dozens of rapid metallic clashes suddenly rang out. Sora had drawn his sword and swung it dozens of times in an instant! But this relentless attack was completely blocked by Unohana.

"'Senmaioroshi' is well-practiced, but it still lacks some finesse. If this is all you have, then it's over, Katori-kun~" Unohana said, taking slow steps towards Sora.

Unlike Unohana's leisurely pace, beads of sweat had already appeared on the back of Sora's neck. He felt an astonishingly powerful aura erupting from Unohana, like a mountain pressing down on him. It was the aura that only a master of the sword possessed!

If it were an ordinary Soul Reaper, they would probably have been immobilized. But Sora was already used to this kind of aura suppression, because Batsunsai used to conduct targeted training for him.

Sora took a deep breath, took a lunging stance, and infused his Spiritual Pressure into the blade. Then, all the muscles in his body tensed. He took a sharp step forward and thrust his sword with incredible speed!

Katori Style: Shungeki!

Unohana blocked the attack with the side of her Zanpakutō. CLANG! The Zanpakutō covered half of her face, but the excitement gleaming in her eyes was unmistakable. "'Shungeki' is well-used."

Just then, Sora felt a huge tremor from his sword. Unohana suddenly appeared on his left, so close he could almost feel her breath. His scalp tingled. He quickly flashed backward, simultaneously raising his sword to block.

Clang, clang, clang—

After several clashes, blood mist erupted from Sora's left arm and left shoulder. Squelch— He had been hit by five of Unohana's strikes in an instant.

The immense pain, however, only made his fighting spirit soar. He didn't know that a flickering new ability had appeared in his panel—Born Berserker!

[Born Berserker: Glory belongs to the born berserker! Reduces the impact of injuries on actions. You will fight with increasing courage until death!]

"I need to hurry up, otherwise my condition will rapidly decline," a thought flashed through Sora's mind.

He flashed away, using Shunpo to move ten meters away. He sheathed his sword, lowered his body's stance by half, and focused intently on Unohana.

"This stance... Katori-kun, have you learned this move too?" Unohana licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, her excitement rising again.
