Chapter 33: The Kuchiki Family

Chapter 33 The Kuchiki Family

"Peach, are you okay?"

After the party, on the way back, Rukia couldn't help but express her concern to Hinamori.

Hinamori's reaction before and after changed so much that something must have happened.

Thinking about the president and Kanizawa-senpai standing in front of the bathroom door, could it be that the two of them did something that Hinamori happened to see?
Rukia is not a fool. As an observer, she knows very well what Hinamori is thinking, and can also guess what Kanizawa-senpai might be thinking. After being in contact with such an outstanding person like the president for a long time, it would be strange to say that she has no thoughts at all.

So it was normal for Taozi to admire the president. She was just surprised that Taozi could express it so boldly.

Are Kanizawa-senpai and the president a good match?
Rukia didn't think so.

Hinamori pursed her lips and shook her head with a gloomy look: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Rukia sighed silently. She had no experience in this and didn't know how to persuade others. She just felt that if the president didn't have such feelings for Hinamori and Kanizawa, it would probably make him very troubled.

She glanced at Tachigawa Nobu, who was walking at the front of the crowd and talking to Shuhei.

If it were me, I would definitely be troubled.

The next day.

After the cultural festival, many students were still nostalgic for it, and the topic they talked about was still what happened yesterday.

The principal of the Spiritual Arts Academy expressed satisfaction with the complete success of the cultural festival and praised Xin highly.

The Student Union did a very good thing for the students of the Spiritual Arts Academy this time. The Spiritual Arts Academy has never had such vitality before. This also made Quebu Xiaozong feel that the Spiritual Arts Academy has become different under his management.

The Student Union has gained greater trust from the Academy of Spiritual Arts and will be able to obtain greater authority in the future.

Xinye took the opportunity to tell the principal some of his new ideas.

Interest groups.

It is also used to enrich students' extracurricular life.

Upon hearing this, Quebu Xiaozong did not directly express his agreement, but frowned and said, "Won't this affect the students' studies?"

Xin explained, "Of course, you can't just establish any interest club. Initially, you can only establish clubs like Kendo, Ghost, and Kaido that help students improve their academic performance. Strictly control the type, number, scale, and number of members. If they develop smoothly, you can gradually expand to include more healthy and positive clubs."

This kind of club is not like the student union, which is simply a group of like-minded people who get together to study, discuss and improve together. In the spare time of the Spiritual Arts Academy, many students have nothing to do, and self-study is a very boring thing. Principal Suzube immediately saw the benefits that this interest club could bring.

After thinking carefully, Quebu Xiaozong couldn't help but say, "You really have a lot of clever ideas."

Then he added, "Please make a detailed charter for me to review first. I will discuss it with the campus leaders."

After returning to the student union's headquarters office, Xin began to make detailed plans in this regard and recorded them in detail on paper.

It was class time and he was the only one in the office.

Yes, he skipped class again, but Xin didn't care about it at all. When Teacher Nantian asked him about it later, he said that the principal wanted to discuss something with him.

In many aspects, his authority and influence in the Spiritual Arts Academy have surpassed that of an ordinary class teacher, Minamida Hidezawa.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Xin casually glanced at the time and it was not time to end the get out of class yet.

"Please come in."

Outside the office door were not the leaders of the Spiritual Arts Academy, but several men in exquisite white long robes.

Xin looked up and was slightly stunned.

These people were obviously nobles. Among them was a young man with a handsome appearance and noble temperament, who was surrounded by everyone and stood out from the crowd.

Pulling the Stars...

The identity of the visitor was already obvious to Xin.

At the cultural festival yesterday, Kuchiki Ginrin saw Rukia performing on the stage, so it is not surprising that the Kuchiki family came today.

"You must be the president of the student council, Nobuyuki Tachigawa."

The one who spoke was an old man. He was not Xiumu Yinling, but looked older than Xiumu Yinling.

However, for people in Soul Society, their appearance is usually inconsistent with their actual age.

"good."

"This is Master Byakuya Kuchiki." The old man introduced the young man next to him in a very concise manner.

But just the two words "rotten wood" already represent a lot of things.

Xin stood up from his seat and walked to the desk to ask, "I wonder if the adults of the Kuchiki family are here for something?"

There was no prior notice from the Spiritual Arts Academy, and these people were able to directly bypass the leaders and teachers of the Spiritual Arts Academy, which is enough to show the amazing status of the Kuchiki family in Soul Society.

"There's a student named Rukia in the student council, right?"

"good."

"We have business with her."

There was no honorific in this person's words, and the implication was that he wanted Xin to go and find Rukia.

Xin didn't show any resentment on his face. He just pointed to the wall clock and said, "It's almost time to end the get out of class. Rukia will come after class."

"You want us to wait?"

Xinzhi looked puzzled. "Rukia is in class now. Shouldn't you be waiting? If you're really anxious, you can go find her in her classroom. She's in Class B, First Resume."

At this moment, Kuchiki Byakuya reached out to stop the old man who was about to say something, and looked at Nobu and asked, "What is your relationship with Rukia?"

His voice was a little cold, and the expression on his face was also cold.

"She's a member of the student union, and I'm the president of the student union," Xin said simply.

"What is Rukia's position in the student council?"

"Assistant to the President."

"Your assistant?"

"good."

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't show any extra expression, and his cold face showed no joy or anger.

Xin knew the purpose of their visit and did not ask any further questions.

His silence made Kuchiki Byakuya unable to utter the words he wanted to explain, so he continued to ask about Rukia's situation.

"How is Rukia doing in the student council?"

"He's pretty good. He's responsible and smart. He respects his elders and gets along well with his peers."

In addition to lacking some confidence, he is also not very fond of speaking proactively.

"You just said she was in Class B?"

Class B is an ordinary class, which is much worse than Class A.

It seems that Byakuya Kuchiki didn't investigate any information at all. He probably just learned about Rukia from Ginryū Kuchiki yesterday and hurried over today.

"Class B is pretty good too," Xin said.

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Tachigawa Nobuyuki. He was now the vice-captain of the 6th Division and could have taken over the captaincy from Kuchiki Ginryu long ago, but his marriage caused a big conflict between him and his family, and the matter was delayed for a long time.

He had also heard a lot of rumors about the president of the student union.

Because Byakuya Kuchiki never attended the Spiritual Arts Academy, but received his education individually within the family, he had no opinion on this so-called student council.

As an aristocratic squad, the Sixth Division rarely has civilian Shinigami among its members. Even though Tachigawa Nobuyuki has come into the sight of many people because of his talent, this is not within the consideration of their Sixth Division.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment, and a servant nearby brought a chair for Kuchiki Byakuya to sit down.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xin returned to his seat and went about his own business.

When the people of the Kuchiki family saw that the letter had left them out like this, they all frowned secretly.

A few minutes later, the bell rang. Kuchiki Byakuya seemed to sense something, but the first person to enter the office a minute after class ended was not Rukia, but Kasumigaoji Kogoro.

He originally came to find Xin for something, but was a little surprised to see everyone from the Kuchiki family in the room.

"Byakuya-sama?"

Kuchiki Byakuya politely stood up and looked at Kogoro, thinking for a moment: "Are you from... the Kasumigaoji family?"

Kogoro bowed respectfully and said, "I am Kasumigaoji Kogoro. I didn't expect you to remember me. I wonder what brings you here, Lord Byakuya?"

Not to mention that the Kuchiki family is more prominent and noble than their Kasumigaoji family, the fact that Byakuya Kuchiki is the vice-captain of the Sixth Division is enough for him to respect him so much, and there is a high probability that Kasumigaoji Kogoro will go to the Sixth Division after graduation.

Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly, "Find someone."

"Find someone?"

Kasumigaoji Mitsugoro was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the letter sitting there with surprise in his eyes.

Is it possible...

Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at the time on the wall clock again, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said to the servant beside him: "Let's go first."

"Master Baizai?"

Kasumigaoji Kogoro immediately said goodbye: "Goodbye, Lord Byakuya."

Kuchiki Byakuya might have felt that there were too many outsiders present, or he might have suddenly had some other idea.

Xin also stood up at this time and said, "Goodbye, Vice Captain Kuchiki."

After walking out of the office, Byakuya Kuchiki walked along the corridor and saw a figure jogging towards him. The familiar face made him freeze in place for a moment.

Rukia felt a little strange when she saw a group of strangers coming out of the student union office. She consciously walked around the edge of the corridor and bowed slightly to them politely.

The old man also looked surprised.

"Master Baiya, she... is just like Madam Hime..."

Kuchiki Byakuya let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

"First, thoroughly investigate all her information... and that Tachikawa Nobu."

"Yes."

Inside the office.

Kogoro was asking Nobuyuki what the people from the Kuchiki family were doing there.

"They're here to see Rukia."

"Find me?"

Rukia happened to appear at the office door and heard their conversation, and was shocked.

"What do you want from me?" She was a little frightened. Those people looked like nobles, and she had nothing to do with them.

Guang Goro was also puzzled: "Are you serious?"

"of course it's true."

Rukia walked in slowly, "President, are they really looking for me? What do they want me for?"

"I don't know about that. They didn't tell me. I told them you would come after class, and they were waiting for you, but suddenly they left."

"..."

Xin then teased, "Maybe you were seen performing on stage yesterday, and these nobles took a fancy to you."

Rukia took it seriously and was so frightened that she froze in place.

Kogoro frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Lord Byakuya is not that kind of person."

He respects Byakuya Kuchiki very much, not only because he is from the Kuchiki family, but also because Byakuya Kuchiki himself is an extremely outstanding Shinigami and has always been his target.

Xin casually asked back, "Then why do you think they are looking for Rukia?"

"how could I know."

Xin glanced at the frightened Rukia and asked Kogoro, "What are you doing here?"

Although Kogoro is the vice president, he rarely stays in the office.

Kogoro then remembered his purpose: "Is there a large portion of the money spent on the cultural festival left over?"

"Really... I think so..." Xin pretended not to understand, "I remember it cost quite a lot."

Guang Goro frowned: "Don't play dumb, how much money is left?"

Xin scratched his head. "Well, I'll have to check the accounts to find out. Why are you asking this?"

"That's my money."

"Isn't it you who sponsored the student union?"

"It's money to sponsor the cultural festival."

Nobunaga sighed and said, "Mr. Kogoro, you can't be so stingy. You're the vice president of the student union, why do you have to be so petty?"

"I'll check the accounts myself."

Mitsugoro ignored Xin's words and turned away.

"Mr. Kogoro, Mr. Kogoro!"

Xin called out twice but was ignored and watched Guang Goro disappear at the office door.

Rukia asked in a panic: "President, what should I do?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Rukia bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Seeing that she was so unamused, Xin said, "I just made a random guess. You don't have to worry too much. I'm probably looking for you for something else."

"But what if..."

Xin laughed: "He is from the Kuchiki family, the most prominent and noble aristocracy in Seireitei. How many people want to have such an opportunity but don't have the means."

"I do not want……"

Xin chuckled and asked, "Why, do you have someone you like? Is it that Renci?"

Rukia glanced at the letter after hearing this, and after a while she said, "Renji and I are not in that kind of relationship."

"The one you like is not Renci?" Xin said with a surprised look on his face.

"..."

Rukia pursed her lips and said, "I just don't want to... be treated like that."

Seeing her worried look, Xin walked over and touched her head: "Don't worry, I won't let you be treated like that."

Rukia shuddered, but felt much more relaxed after hearing these words.

“…President.”

Xin was paying attention to the changes in favorability on the system when he saw another person standing at the door of the office.

"Hinamori."

Xin greeted him as usual.
