Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Such outstanding talent even made Yamamoto's heart flutter.

If there are no major problems with his character, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take him as a disciple.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said:

"If you can master these basic skills, I might consider taking you on as a disciple and teaching you one bone and two bones."

"But if you don't want to practice seriously, then I won't force you."

He decided to continue to motivate the boy to improve, lest he become complacent.

At such a young age, it's the perfect time to work hard; you absolutely mustn't end up like Kyoraku Shunsui.

If he were to produce another Kyoraku Shunsui, he would definitely doubt his own teaching abilities.

No, he would not only doubt his own teaching ability, but also question whether he was misleading students by establishing the "Yuanliu" school and the Yuanzi Academy...

Aozaki Mayuki readily agreed:

"Captain, then it's a deal, and there's no going back on it."

"But I'm still a little worried. How about this, you swear on one arm..."

Seeing Aozaki Mayuki's face change instantly, Yamamoto really wanted to kick him, and he was ready to do so.

"Get out."

"okay."

Aozaki Mayuki's sharp eyes immediately spotted Yamamoto's agitated right foot, and he took off running without stopping.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Aozaki?"

Upon hearing the sound, Aozaki Mayuki and Yamamoto looked towards the entrance of the dojo together.

Then, a girl with purple hair and dark skin, radiating youthful energy, walked in with a smile.

She pulled Aozaki Mayuki close, tucking his head under her arm, looking quite intimate.

Aozaki Mayuki felt a bittersweet mix of pain and pleasure, letting out a wry smile.

Although my face felt comfortable, the height difference made my body very uncomfortable.

Yoruichi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "It's been so long, did you miss me?"

"We just saw each other yesterday..."

Feeling the increased pressure on her neck, Aozaki Mayuki said in a muffled voice, "I missed you."

"Yoruichi Shihouin?"

Seeing the girl's grinning face, Yamamoto frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Aozaki Mayuki.

Is this what you call an ordinary friend? Do you even have the truth left in your mouth?

Yamamoto glanced behind Yoruichi, where several members of the Secret Service were guarding the area, and said in a deep voice, "Aozaki Mayuki, you go back first. We have important matters to discuss."

Yoruichi released Mayuki, patted his shoulder with a grin, and whispered in his ear:

"I have something important to tell the old man. You go first, and we'll meet at our usual spot tonight."

Aozaki Mayuki's eyes lit up.

In Soul Society, Yamamoto is number one in hand-to-hand combat, and the girl in front of me should be number two. What a great sparring partner she is!

"Then I'll go wait for you."

A vein bulged on Yamamoto's forehead: "?"

Aozaki Mayuki, what are you trying to do?

…………

After leaving the First Division's barracks, Aozaki Mayuki did not return to the Shinigami Academy, but went straight to the secret training ground beneath the Twin Peaks.

He went underground and looked at the training ground that stretched as far as the eye could see. He looked around and confirmed that he was the only one there.

He found Kisuke Urahara's stash of food, enjoyed a delicious meal, and recovered the energy he had expended during training.

Yoruichi Shihouin didn't arrive at the underground training ground until evening.

Upon entering, one sees Aozaki Mayuki shirtless, her fists unprotected, relentlessly pounding on a wooden puppet prop reinforced with Kido.

"It's still not enough..."

Aozaki Mayuki looked at her bleeding fists and used the healing technique she had learned from Unohana Retsu this week.

Seeing Aozaki Mayuki's reaction, Yoruichi chuckled and said, "Is that so? I do think he has a bit of the Captain-Commander's charm."

“Especially this bad habit of going shirtless, it’s obvious he learned it from the captain.”

Aozaki Mayuki wiped the sweat from her body and asked with a gossipy smile, "How did you know the Captain-Commander likes to go shirtless?"

Yoruichi Shihōin stuck out her tongue and rubbed her face: "When I was learning hand-to-hand combat, I sneaked into the First Division barracks and secretly learned a few moves."

"So, who do you think is better, your free-fighting skills or the captain's?"

"How could you ask such a stupid question? Of course, it's the Captain-Commander who's amazing." Yoruichi Shihouin rolled her eyes, suspecting that the other party was deliberately mocking her.

With my small frame, do I look like I could withstand a punch from the captain?

Aozaki Mayuki smiled awkwardly, looking at the coquettish Yoruichi, feeling a little strange.

"It's my fault, I didn't explain myself clearly."

"What I mean is, disregarding spiritual pressure and only considering techniques, how does your Shunpo compare to the Captain-Commander's One-Bone and Two-Bone techniques?"

Yoruichi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I really don't know. After all, although I've seen the Captain-Commander use it, I haven't practiced it myself or experienced it firsthand, so it's hard for me to judge."

"I see... I'll let you experience it sometime, and then you can judge for yourself," Aozaki Mazuki said regretfully.

Yoruichi Shihouin: "?!"

Chapter 27 I don't know

Aozaki Mayuki made Yoruichi a cup of tea, then sat opposite her and began explaining the hand-to-hand combat techniques she had learned from Yamamoto.

At first, Yoruichi Shihouin remained calm, listening and drinking at the same time.

But soon, she showed a look of surprise, nodding from time to time, looking like a good student.

"So that's how it is! It seems that the moves I secretly learned before only captured the form but not the essence."

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto's power generation technique is truly amazing. With this technique, spiritual pressure and spirit body work in perfect harmony, allowing for an explosive burst of power!"

"Based on this set of cultivation methods, the unarmed combat techniques performed may seem no different from ordinary unarmed combat, but the hidden power within them is probably even greater than that of most ghost paths."

"In terms of explosive power alone, my instantaneous roar is slightly inferior."

As Yoruichi spoke eloquently, Aozaki Mazuki's attention was instantly drawn, and he thought to himself, could this be the genius who can create combat techniques? He actually figured out the effects that Yamamoto's Hakuda technique could achieve so easily.

Yoruichi Shihouin tilted her head, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at him with great interest, smiling as she said, "You just told me such an important secret technique like that?"

Aozaki Mayuki pouted: "Old man Yamamoto only said that the first and second bones cannot be passed on to outsiders, but he didn't say that the others can't be passed on to outsiders either."

"Besides, didn't you say you would teach me Shunko? Can Shunko be passed on to outsiders? If so, I'll teach it to old man Yamamoto, and it'll be a win-win situation for both of us."

“I might not feel comfortable teaching it to anyone else, but I have no problem with the Captain-Commander.” Yoruichi Shihouin blinked. “I’m just afraid that the Captain-Commander might not even think much of my combat techniques.”

Aozaki Mayuki had been observing Shihouin Yoruichi and noticed that she didn't even frown when she said those words, appearing quite casual.

Aozaki Mayuki's mind raced. This seemed interesting... What would it be like to use the Twin Bones when activating Shunkō?

Yoruichi Shihouin still smiled and said, "Shingetsu, how much of this hand-to-hand combat technique have you learned? Now it's your turn to instruct me, isn't it?"

Aozaki Mayuki had only been learning today, and instructing a master of hand-to-hand combat in front of her was no easy task. She scratched her head, thought for a moment, then her gaze suddenly fell on Yoruichi, and she smiled slightly:

"I've learned most of it; the rest is just a matter of practice."

Yoruichi Shihōin rolled her eyes. If you want a sparring partner, just say so. Why are you being shy with me? Everyone knows who you are.

Yoruichi saw through his thoughts and smiled, saying, "No matter what kind of move or technique you use, proficiency is very important. If you're not proficient yourself, it's inevitable that you'll make mistakes when teaching others."

"In that case, I'll practice with you."

Aozaki Mayuki smiled, cupped her hands, and said, "Then thank you very much, Princess Yoruichi."

Yoruichi Shihouin is known as the princess of the Shihouin family, so his flattery wasn't entirely wrong.

Princess… Ye Yi paused for a moment, then her smile deepened.

Seeing her rosy complexion, Aozaki Mayuki suddenly smiled and said, "So cute..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yoruichi Shihouin slammed her teacup down on the table: "Stop talking nonsense... Hurry up and drink it, then we'll go have a spar."

After finishing their tea, the two went to the Hakuda dojo, changed into their Hakuda training uniforms, and began practicing Hakuda techniques according to Yamamoto's methods.

When she first started practicing, Yoruichi was a little unaccustomed to it and couldn't quite grasp the timing of releasing her spiritual pressure.

But with Aozaki Mayuki's guidance, she gradually became more adept at it.

"drink!"

Yoruichi Shihouin's expression turned serious. Suddenly, the sky lost its color, and a blue light streaked down like a shooting star, tearing through space and arriving in the blink of an eye.

Not to be outdone, Aozaki Mayuki unleashed his spiritual pressure and threw a punch that collided with the beam of light.

With a deafening roar, both of them were sent flying backward, adjusting their posture in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.

The seemingly invincible punch was blocked by Aozaki Mayuki... Yoruichi Shihouin couldn't help but swallow hard, realizing where this genius's reputation came from.

After a long while, Yoruichi Shihouin finally managed to utter a sentence with difficulty: "Well done, but the spiritual pressure is not restrained enough, and the utilization efficiency is too low, which is a huge waste."

Aozaki Mayuki came over and nodded, recalling the scene of Yamamoto using Hakuda.

On the surface, it looks very ordinary, with no outward spiritual pressure, unlike myself who shines brightly.

Yoruichi Shihouin chuckled and said, "That's enough training for today. It's getting late, go and rest for a while. You have classes tomorrow."

The two sat down at the tea table, and Yoruichi Shihouin's gaze fell on Maki Aozaki.

Aozaki Mayuki looked at herself, completely confused about what she meant; she wasn't injured.

Yoruichi suddenly said, "Don't you want to know what I talked to the Captain-Commander about today?"

“Since you all say it’s important, I naturally can’t ask. But if you want to talk about it, I’m all ears.” Aozaki Mayuki shrugged.
