Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 392: Swastika, get√

In the mental world.

Luca glanced at the Zanpakuto's core key in his hand, then at the slot on the ground in front of him, and then back at the Zanpakuto in his hand.
After going back and forth several times, he finally muttered to himself in disbelief.
"It's so effective!"

In fact, the reason Luca used the 'stick-based navigation method' was because he didn't have many ideas on how to find the slots, so he simply chose a direction and ran around thinking about a strategy instead of standing still and wasting time.

Who would have thought?
"I haven't even started thinking yet, and it's already found it???"

Indeed, the reality is that although Luca, who has mastered Instant Step, travels extremely fast, he has only taken two steps before his target is already right in front of him.

This caused Luca's own emotions to become somewhat inconsistent.

"Forget it, why think so much? Let's just insert it first!"

Choosing to abandon thought, Luca simply followed his heart, stepped forward, and directly inserted the key in his hand into the slot in front of him.

The next moment, all the information belonging to this mental world, or rather, to his Zanpakuto, poured into Luca's mind in its entirety.

This naturally includes the true name of the Zanpakuto and all the abilities of its Bankai.

"Hehe~ After loading, it's time to build a deck~ This really suits my abilities~"

After letting out a soft sigh, Luca sensed the spiritual pressure within him about to erupt again due to the awakening of his Bankai. He decisively released his grip and instantly withdrew from this mental world.

When I opened my eyes again, my consciousness had already returned to my body.

Looking around, he saw that the barrier he had previously set up was cracked and on the verge of breaking due to the burst of spiritual pressure.

Luca breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he hadn't rashly attempted Bankai.

'Having grasped it is enough; there's no need to reveal it yet.'

'It's already astonishing enough that he mastered Shikai immediately after obtaining Asauchi; if he had mastered Bankai on the same day and revealed it as well, I imagine many hidden figures would have gotten restless, wouldn't they?'

As Luca gently stroked the Zanpakuto in his hand, a strange smile appeared on his face.

'Next, maybe I can try using the power of the initial release to create some gadgets~'

Time flies.

Luca's mastery of Shikai that day caused quite a stir, even reaching the Gotei 13 from the Shinigami Academy.

But eventually it calmed down.

Perhaps his reputation has already been established in the minds of many captains, but after all, he is still a student at the Shinigami Academy, and the environment he is in is still somewhat different from that of the Gotei 13.

These captains, who were used to seeing the world, didn't actually come over just to watch the spectacle because a genius had appeared.

In fact, the biggest change came after Luca mastered the initial release.

Instead, recently, a small item called 'Kido Capsule' has suddenly appeared in the Shinigami Academy.

Initially, many senior students secretly bought these so-called 'Ghost Path Capsules'. Some used them secretly to cope with classroom teaching, while others took them to practical training sessions.

It wasn't until more and more capsules were sold that the instructors in charge of proctoring discovered them, and they were then classified as 'cheating tools' and recorded in the college's rules.

After that, Luca finally settled down and used the funds he had acquired to diligently begin his daily training and research. However, this stability only lasted for about six months.

"Hey Luca, what have you been up to these past few days, all mysterious and secretive?"

Inside the cafeteria, Renji Abarai, carrying a tray, first glanced around furtively, then quickly approached Luca and cautiously whispered, "What do you mean?"

"I heard that the automatic exam pen you made last time has also been listed as a prohibited item in the college. You've been disappearing as soon as get out of class ends these past few days. Have you come up with some new cheating device?"

Upon hearing this, Luca, who was eating, rolled his eyes. Even Hinamori Momo and Kira Izuru, who were following behind Abarai Renji, covered their mouths and chuckled.

Of the four, only Renji Abarai is relatively unbalanced, showing absolutely no talent in Kido (a type of Japanese martial arts) or written exams.

Even though Hinamori Momo's swordsmanship was relatively poor, the other three were actually among the top students in Class One in this assessment.

Therefore, aside from some upperclassmen, only Renji occasionally actually uses Luca's so-called 'miraculous gadgets'.

only.
"The automatic exam pen is also a product from two months ago. The dean even came to my door to complain before, so I stopped making these things a long time ago."

"The reason it was only recently listed as a prohibited item is simply because those upperclassmen hid it well enough to be top students for two months. Actually, they didn't lose out."

In fact, the vast majority of those who bought the little props that Luca casually made were descendants of nobles within the academy.

Luca sold this thing to them simply to verify the theories he had learned and, incidentally, to establish a persona for himself.

In fact, in order to "make a name for themselves," many of the props were exposed because Luca anonymously reported them behind the scenes.

The purpose is to expose these things to the public.

Now that the reputation has already spread, there's really no need for the academy to remind him; Luca will most likely stop making these shady things.

"Okay. Never mind if you don't have it. I feel like I've improved a lot in my demonic arts and theory classes lately, so I don't really need these!"

Seeing Renji's stubborn expression, Luca just shook his head and chuckled, then continued eating.

However, before he could even take a couple of bites, Renji quickly brought up another topic, speaking in a somewhat teasing tone.

"It's a pity, all your props are now contraband. Before the live-fire exercise later, the senior students in charge of the review will definitely check them carefully."

Upon hearing this, Luca's lips twitched involuntarily, but before he could speak, Kira Izuru, who was standing next to him, immediately chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

"Renji, you should worry about yourself. With Luca's strength, even without those items, he won't be affected at all."

Upon hearing this, Renji Abarai froze on the spot, his chopsticks falling from his hands.

Perhaps it was because the reputation of 'Luca's Wonderful Gadgets' had been so great recently that he subconsciously overlooked Luca's actual strength.

However, before Renji Abarai could even react, Luca, who had already finished breakfast, delivered another blow to him.

"Actually, I have already applied to the class teacher. After all, the purpose of the live-fire exercise is to test and train the students' comprehensive abilities."

"I made all those props myself, so I can definitely use them in the exam."

After saying that, Luca picked up his plate and left, leaving the three stunned people with a dashing back view.
