"Oh? Is that so? I believe this is our first meeting." Yoruichi's expression remained unchanged.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shihōin Yoruichi, Urahara Kisuke's good friend."
Yoruichi had long purple hair, golden eyes, and tanned skin, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
Shun said, "My apologies. My name is Nohara Shin, perhaps I was mistaken."
Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Shin had discovered something.
She didn't want to expose her identity as the black cat just yet. It was a bit embarrassing to have been petted like that.
Kisuke looked at the two of them and felt a little strange.
Why did he feel that Yoruichi was a bit nervous around Shin?
"Shin-san, your strength is astonishing. Even a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow is no match for you." Kisuke said, adjusting his hat.
"A Vasto Lorde-class Hollow?" Rukia, standing nearby, was shocked.
She had thought it was an Adjuchas-class Hollow. She never expected...
Ichigo asked, utterly confused, "A Vasto Lorde-class Hollow? What's that?"
"Vasto Lorde-class Hollows are extremely rare. Their combat power surpasses that of a Captain-level Shinigami."
As she spoke, Rukia looked at Shin.
"I didn't defeat him. I just don't know why he suddenly ran away." Shin denied.
"If we had continued fighting, I would have definitely lost."
"Is that so?" Kisuke smiled meaningfully.
Shin felt as if he had been seen through by this guy.

Shin returned home and began to examine his spoils of war. He had accumulated 1600 Points, along with a Meat Regenerator. He had no intention of using this stuff himself. After all, it was made by that mad scientist Mayuri.
He was ready to start doing gacha. If he got a red template, he'd hit the jackpot.
'System, start the spin.'
The red template Shin had fantasized about didn't appear. Instead, a flash of white light revealed a white template.
[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the Brain Unglaus Template ]
The template depicted a muscular swordsman with long blue hair and a short beard.
Brain was a genius swordsman in Overlord, on par with the Kingdom's Warrior Captain. Unfortunately, he ultimately met his end at the hands of Cocytus.
[Ability: True Nail Clipper]
[True Nail Clipper: Controls everything within range, greatly increasing hit rate, and unleashes six extremely fast slashes in place.]
"Pfft..."
Shin spat out a mouthful of water.
What the hell was a nail clipper? Did it want him to trim his opponent's nails?
However, although Brain was jokingly referred to as a "nail clipper," he was definitely a respectable swordsman. His final strike had reached the pinnacle of human ability, but his opponent was inhuman.
This skill might play an unexpected role at certain times.

Soi Fon infiltrated the Human World, gathering information about Shin.
She learned that Shin had only recently begun to display extraordinary powers.
Now, she planned to go to Shin's home to confirm the situation and observe his attitude towards Soul Society.
Upon arriving at the Nohara residence, Soi Fon heard a cat's meow. Then, she saw the person she least wanted to see, yet also greatly anticipated seeing again.
"Yoruichi..."
Shin naturally sensed Soi Fon's Reiatsu. Upon seeing her, he felt that he was doomed.
He knew that Soul Society would definitely send someone, but he never expected it to be Soi Fon.
The crucial thing was that he was currently petting the black cat, Yoruichi.
Soi Fon would very likely go berserk.
Indeed, Soi Fon sneered, "Yoruichi... after being missing for so long, it turns out you were hiding in the Human World?"
"And being so intimate with a human man."
"How disgraceful!"
Soi Fon tore off her Captain's haori and drew the Zanpakuto from behind her back.
"Sting all enemies to death! Suzumebachi!"
Soi Fon immediately released her Zanpakuto.
Her Zanpakuto transformed into a pointed blade attached to her middle finger.
Yoruichi only reacted at this moment. She had been enjoying being petted. Why would Soi Fon come looking for her?
She immediately leaped out of Shin's arms and sprinted towards the outskirts of town.
Seeing this, Soi Fon immediately gave chase. She had sworn to personally apprehend Yoruichi.
Shin followed, but his speed was considerably slower compared to these two Shunpo masters. By the time he arrived, the woman and the cat were in a standoff.
"Soi Fon, it's been a long time."
"Indeed. By my count, you've been a traitor for a hundred years."
"Let me see if your power has deteriorated. I haven't relaxed my training for a single moment."
"Are you planning to fight me in that form?" Soi Fon saw that Yoruichi wasn't moving.
"You're impossible..."
Yoruichi turned to look at Shin. "Hey, Shin, give me your clothes."
"A cat can talk!" Shin had to pretend he knew nothing.
Then, he witnessed a rather alluring scene. Yoruichi transformed into her human form, utterly unclothed.
"Have you seen enough? Hurry up!"
"You're Shihōin Yoruichi." Shin said with a shocked expression, but still took off his T-shirt and gave it to Yoruichi.
Soi Fon let out a sneer. "Human, you still don't know her true identity, do you?"
"As expected, you haven't changed. You still enjoy toying with people. Yoruichi."
Yoruichi put on Shin's clothes. She wasn't very tall, so the T-shirt was able to cover her thighs.
Shin silently retreated. He had no intention of interfering in the battle between these two close friends. He might end up being ganged up on by two women.
Upon seeing Yoruichi return to her human form, Soi Fon immediately launched an attack.
For some reason, Yoruichi only dodged.
"Do you only know how to dodge? Or do you still think I'm that little girl from back then?" Soi Fon's emotions were agitated.
"You still remember my Zanpakuto's ability, don't you?"
"If you're hit twice in the same spot, you'll die."
"Back then, this ability wasn't complete, but now, a hundred years later, it's fully matured."
"If you don't fight back, you'll die."
"Soi Fon, your strength has increased a lot. In that case, I won't hold back."
With that, Yoruichi charged towards Soi Fon.
The two exchanged blows at an incredibly fast pace, fighting to a standstill.
"Is this all you've got? Then let's end this." Soi Fon kicked Yoruichi away.
"Do you know why the battle attire has no fabric on the shoulders and back?" Yoruichi suddenly asked.
"What?"
Yoruichi's back and shoulders were enveloped in highly compressed Kido. The clothes on her back and shoulders gradually tore, creating a massive commotion.
"Actually, I didn't want to use this move to decide our battle. Take this, Soi Fon!"
"I still can't control Shunko very well."
During their recent fight, Yoruichi had noticed that Soi Fon had already grasped the rudimentary form of "Shunko" and believed she would soon be able to develop it. Therefore, she decided to use this technique to make Soi Fon realize its power and danger. If not mastered properly, it could easily harm oneself.
The next moment, a powerful thunderstorm erupted around Yoruichi, instantly destroying a large area of forest. However, it did not affect Soi Fon.
Soi Fon screamed and charged at Yoruichi, who easily neutralized Soi Fon's Kido attack.
Anti-Kido Barrier!
Using Kido of the same quality and quantity as the opponent's to destroy and eliminate their Kido.
Yoruichi's Kido-wrapped fist stopped in front of Soi Fon.
Soi Fon could no longer suppress her emotions.
"Why? I swore to defeat you with my own hands, yet I'm still beneath you."
"Why? Why did you betray me, who respected and trusted you so much?"
"Why didn't you take me with you back then?"
"Yoruichi-sama!"
Soi Fon fell to the ground, weeping loudly.
Yoruichi slowly stepped forward and embraced her.
Shin watched from the side, his emotions complex.
Soi Fon had been indoctrinated since childhood with the idea of dedicating herself wholeheartedly to the Shihōin clan.
It was Yoruichi who personally promoted Soi Fon and mentored her like a younger sister.
A hundred years ago, Yoruichi was forced to defect from Soul Society due to the "Hollowfication incident," which caused Soi Fon to gradually suppress her feelings for Yoruichi.
It was only upon their reunion today that those emotions erupted.
'They should be able to reconcile now.' Shin thought.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful Reiatsu rapidly approaching.
"Yoruichi, a Captain-level Shinigami is about to arrive."
"It must be Captain Hitsugaya of the 10th Division. Yoruichi-sama, hide yourself first, don't let him discover you."
Soi Fon wiped away her tears and said to Yoruichi.
After all, Yoruichi was still a defector from Soul Society and it wasn't convenient for her to appear before other Captains.
"Mhm."
With that, Yoruichi left.
Soi Fon looked at Shin and fiercely said, "Don't you dare say anything later. Just say it was the two of us fighting."
"No problem."
Shin knew that Soi Fon might have some issues with him because of Yoruichi. After all, seeing the person she admired being held and petted like that by someone else would definitely be quite a shock.
