Nietono no Shana!
Looking at the katana in his hand, Shin was very satisfied.
This is the weapon Shana wields in Shakugan no Shana. It originally didn't have a scabbard, but now the system has attached one to it.
The system can be quite considerate sometimes.
Shin felt that this weapon was quite compatible with his current self. Now, he no longer needed to worry about the weapon not being able to withstand the strain.
'System, bring up the panel.'
[Host: Nohara Shin]
[Template: Tsugikuni Yoriichi]
[Weapon: Nietono no Shana]
[Item: None]
[Abilities: Sun Breathing, Demon Slayer Mark, Transparent World, Bright Red Nichirin Blade]
[Points: 120]
...
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Rukia received a specially made artificial body from Kisuke.
Ichigo decided to become a substitute Shinigami and subsequently rescued Orihime and Chad.
However, the system did not issue any missions. Therefore, Shin had been busy hunting Hollows these past few days to earn Points.
Over the course of a few days, he had accumulated 1,000 Points.
He really wanted to go to Hueco Mundo, there were countless Hollows there. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to get to Hueco Mundo.
'System, begin the spin.'
A golden light appeared, revealing a man dressed in a black tuxedo, wearing white gloves, with dark red eyes and medium-length black hair.
[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the Sebastian Michaelis Template ]
[Ability: Black Cat Affinity+]
[Black Cat Affinity+: Black cat's affinity is greatly increased]
Sebastian is the male protagonist of Black Butler. He is the butler of the Phantomhive family and is a demon.
Favorite animal: Felines.
Shin was a little speechless. Although Black Butler wasn't a shonen battle anime, Sebastian, as a demon, was quite powerful, wasn't he?
What kind of ability is this "Black Cat Affinity+"?
Is it specially targeting Yoruichi's black cat form?
Speaking of Yoruichi, Shin hasn't seen her these past few days.
What a pity, he even prepared goat milk for the cat.
Shin planned to go and talk to Ichigo and the others, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they treated him as an enemy.
—
Ichigo's Reiatsu was easy to sense, and Shin quickly found him at school.
The spirit form of Ichigo was being brutally beaten by the real body.
"Uh... this must be the Modified Soul."
Shin realized that this was the same as the Kōn mix-up from the original story.
Kōn jumped out of the classroom window and ran out of the school. Ichigo and his companion followed closely behind but they lost track of him in a dilapidated warehouse.
[Trigger Mission: Capture Kōn, 100 Points]
[Catch Kōn and give him a good beating, helping Ichigo teach him a lesson.]
'Hey... it's Ichigo's body that's getting beaten up.'
This system is even more cunning than him.
The souls are truly pitiful. As modified souls, they are created arbitrarily by the Soul Society and then arbitrarily destroyed. Having barely escaped, they were forced to hide everywhere.
Shin's perception was much better than that of Ichigo and the other two and he quickly discovered Kōn.
Kōn was jumping several meters high in the street, causing passersby to gasp in surprise.
That's incredibly arrogant!
Shin caught up with Kōn and stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" Kōn looked at the strange guy in front of him, dressed in casual clothes and holding a katana.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you're going to be in trouble."
After saying that, Shin rushed to Kōn's side and threw a punch.
He didn't plan to use a blade. His physical strength was high enough now, so close combat was better to avoid damaging Ichigo's body.
With that simple punch, Kōn was sent flying. Shin had no intention of letting him off so easily since the system mission required giving a good beating.
Soon, Kōn was beaten black and blue.
[Completed the mission: Capture Kōn, + 100 Points]
Having completed the mission, Shin knocked Kōn unconscious.
Carrying him, Shin found the duo who had chased after Kōn.
As Ichigo and Rukia followed Ichigo's body, they saw a familiar figure carrying the body as they approached.
Seeing the appalling state of his body, Ichigo was on the verge of losing control.
"It's you again! What do you want?" He said, drawing his sword.
Shin said, "Hey... let's talk this out, no need to resort to blades and guns."
"I came here specifically to find you, and when I saw you chasing this guy, I helped catch him."
"Then what's going on?" Ichigo asked, pointing to his own face.
"This guy wouldn't cooperate. I had no choice but to subdue him by force." Shin said helplessly.
"Who exactly are you?" Rukia asked as she took Kōn from Shin's hand.
In fact, Rukia had already asked Kisuke about Shin. However, Kisuke was also unaware of what Shin was.
He didn't have a notable level of Reiryoku, yet possessed extremely great strength.
Kisuke had obtained a sample of Shin's body tissue from Yoruichi, but the analysis only revealed that Shin's body strength was very high and contained a special kind of energy. But he doesn't yet know what this energy is.
He planned to have Yoruichi continue to monitor Shin after she returned from Soul Society.
"Shouldn't you state your name before asking others, beautiful lady?" Shin grinned.
"Kuchiki Rukia, a Shinigami."
"Kurosaki Ichigo, Substitute Shinigami."
"I see."
"My name is Nohara Shin, and I'm just an ordinary person."
"Your strength is not that of an ordinary person." Rukia was not going to believe this nonsense.
"But I really don't have your kind of status." Shin said innocently.
"Can you tell me something about death? I'm really curious."
"Don't worry, as you've seen, I have no ill intentions towards you."
"The last time I attacked that orange-haired kid, I just wanted to test my strength."
"Hey... I have a name. You bastard!"
Rukia remained unmoved and appeared very cautious.
Because Shin's behavior is too strange, it's impossible to figure out what he's up to.
Just then, Kisuke arrived with a group of employees.
"Oh dear. It seems the trouble of modifying the soul has been resolved." Kisuke opened his small folding fan and held it in front of him.
"Hey buddy. You want to know about death? I can tell you."
"Urahara!" Rukia tried to speak up to stop him.
"Rukia, who is this?" Ichigo asked.
Shin looked at Kisuke.
He had short, light yellow hair, a small amount of stubble on his chin, wore a dark green short jacket and green trousers, and wooden clogs.
He looked like a harmless middle-aged man but Shin dared not take him lightly.
Kisuke was the former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 and the first director of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute.
He possessed immense strength and was considered by Aizen to be "the only being in Soul Society who surpasses me in intelligence."
"Just an unscrupulous businessman." Rukia replied.
"Kuchiki-san, don't be so heartless. Young man, you can come find me at Urahara Store."
After saying that, Kisuke left with his men.
