I Am a Heroic Spirit

Zhang Luo stood up calmly and fluently repeated all the knowledge that Teacher Jiujo had taught since the beginning of the class, word for word, and also answered the questions that the teacher had raised before but had not been answered.

While listening to Zhang Luo's answer, Teacher Jiujo was looking through her lesson plan, with an expression of increasing shock on her face, because she had not yet found any mistakes in Zhang Luo's answer.

"Amazing!"

"Is this the legendary academic master? How terrifying!"

“All of them are correct!”

The classmates around looked at Zhang Luo and exclaimed in amazement. This transfer student was not only handsome, but also a foreigner, and he was also the legendary academic master and had special connections with the underworld. This was simply the setting for a comic book protagonist.

"Does meditation have such an ability?" After meditating last night, Arisawa Ryuki felt his mind was clear and his thinking was agile, but the effect was not great and did not last long, so he just thought it was an illusion. Now seeing Zhang Luo's performance, he immediately thought of this aspect.

At this time, Zhang Luo had not stopped yet, but continued to answer the courses that he had not yet started to study and the questions in the book. Teacher Jiujo on the podium also forgot to ask Zhang Luo to stop, and kept looking through the tutorials according to Zhang Luo's progress, his expression becoming more and more weird.

Finally, Zhang Luo finished reciting everything in the textbook and fell silent. Teacher Jiujo also finished going through the tutorial and confirmed Zhang Luo's correctness. Unsure of what to say, he asked Zhang Luo to sit down first, then calmed himself down before continuing his lecture.

After Zhang Luo sat down, he remained as he had been before, not paying much attention to the class. He stared at the scenery outside, and Teacher Jiu Tiao stopped calling him. However, some students couldn't help but peek at Zhang Luo, and Teacher Jiu Tiao noticed and called them up to answer questions.

It’s not that Zhang Luo wants to be in the spotlight, but Zhang Luo plans to apply for self-study at home in two days. He doesn’t want to waste time coming to school, so he wants these teachers to make preparations first.

In the third and fourth classes, Zhang Luo repeated the same routine as in the second class. As a result, even though the teacher knew that Zhang Luo did not listen to the class carefully, she would not call him up casually. After all, the amount of knowledge Zhang Luo had demonstrated exceeded theirs.

Chapter 11 First Transformation

At noon, during lunch break, on the rooftop, Zhang Luo, Arisawa Ryuki, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Inoue Orihime gathered together to eat lunch.

"By the way, Orihime, your lunch is really...special." Zhang Luo looked at the long bread with some unknown substance spread on it that Orihime Inoue was holding, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Are those things really edible?

"Well, I specially added cheese to the bread and spread a thick layer of butter on it. It's delicious. Brother Luo, would you like to try it?" Orihime Inoue said with a smile, waving the long bread.

"Well, no, I don't like cheese and butter." Zhang Luo quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"What about Kurosaki-san?" Orihime Inoue looked at Ichigo Kurosaki expectantly.

"No, no, I don't like bread." Kurosaki Ichigo hurriedly declined.

"Your taste is still so unique. And you don't gain weight at all even if you eat high-calorie food like butter." Arisawa Ryuki looked at Orihime and shook his head, then opened his lunch box. Inside was the same lunch as Zhang Luo's, both prepared by Mrs. Arisawa in the morning.

"Hehe." Inoue Orihime touched her head and laughed.

"By the way, A'Luo is very good at studying." Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly said, "All the classmates were stunned."

"He should be shocked, right? I guess Luo Ge will be treated the same as Ichigo in class from now on." Arisawa Ryuki complained, "It's just that Ichigo was treated for his hair, and you for your academic performance."

"My case is nothing. Unlike in Japan, Chinese students are under great academic pressure. Many of them have already started learning high school knowledge in junior high school." Zhang Luo said calmly.

“ROARROARROARROAR!!!!!”

At this moment, while the four of them were eating their lunch boxes and chatting, a roaring sound came from a distance, which made Ichigo Kurosaki and Ryuki Arisawa stunned at the same time.

"What's that sound?" Ichigo Kurosaki looked in the direction where the sound came from, but because the distance was too far, he could only see a blurry huge shadow.

Arisawa Ryuki also stood up, but he couldn't find out what made the sound.

"What? Sound? There is no sound. Did you hear it wrong?" Orihime Inoue asked curiously. Although she felt a little strange, she did not hear any sound.

Zhang Luo already knew it very well. Ordinary people could not hear the sound of the Hollows that appeared in Karakura Town. Only Ichigo Kurosaki, the son of a Shinigami and a Quincy, and Ryuki Arisawa, who practiced meditation, and himself could hear it. What else could it be except the Hollows?

"Indeed, there was no sound at all, Ichigo, you didn't hear it wrongly, did you? And Ryuki, right?"

Zhang Luo winked at Arisawa Ryuki as he spoke, and Arisawa Ryuki understood and immediately said, "Yes, Ichigo, there was no sound at all. You must have misheard it."

After hearing what the three people said, Ichigo Kurosaki realized that the sound was most likely made by a ghost, otherwise he would not be the only one who could hear it. So he laughed it off, sat down and continued to eat.

After taking two bites of the meal, Zhang Luo stood up calmly and said, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot something at home, so I have to go back now. You guys continue eating, I'll be back soon."

"Hurry up, class will start soon." Ichigo Kurosaki said without any doubt, but with some worry, because more than twenty minutes had passed and class would start in another ten minutes.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's late. I have already learned all the courses in the third year of junior high school." Zhang Luo waved his hand indifferently and walked towards the corridor entrance. The three people behind him were speechless.

As soon as he entered the corridor, Zhang Luo called the system and opened the transformation option in the system panel.

【Transformation options】:

[Iron Card - Saber/Assassin Okada Izo], [Iron Card - Gunner Billy the Kid], [Bronze Card - Lancer Diarmuid Odin].

"Which one should I use?" Zhang Luo glanced at the three Servants in the transformation column. As long as there was no Hollow of the level of Achukas, the transformed Servant would be the same.

After thinking about it, Zhang Luo chose Diarmuid. Although the probability of a Hollow of the level of Achukas appearing was low, if Urahara Kisuke and the others were lured out, except for Diarmuid, the other two Heroic Spirits would not even be able to escape.

After Zhang Luo confirmed it, he felt dizzy, and the next moment he found that he had transformed into Diarmuid. Feeling the powerful force in his body, as well as a lot of combat experience in his mind, and the familiar double guns in his hands, Zhang Luo couldn't help but have an illusion that he was not transforming, but entering Diarmuid's body.

However, after Zhang Luo's consciousness entered the system space, he realized that he was not having an illusion. The body lying flat and floating in the system space was clearly his own body.

From this perspective, the so-called transformation is like the Gihunmaru, which transfers consciousness into another body and controls the body.

However, unlike Gihunmaru, he possessed all the abilities and memories of the body he entered. In this case, was he now Zhang Luo or Diarmuid?

-

Urahara Shoten, a shop located in a small corner of the present-day Karakura-cho, looks like a grocery store that obviously has no business value. It also secretly sells various Death God props. There are four employees in it, the store manager Kisuke Urahara, who is the former captain of the Gotei 13, the 12th Division, and the first director of the Technical Development Bureau, the store manager Tessai Wahbi, the former chief of the Kidōshu, and two seemingly ordinary children, Tsumuga Ame and Hanakari Jinta, who are suspected of having transformed their souls.

At this time, Urahara Kisuke was sitting leisurely in the store drinking tea. Suddenly, his face changed and he looked up in the direction of the school. The wall could not block his sight at all, and the auras of dozens of hollow heads clearly appeared in his perception.

"What's going on? Why are there so many Hollows? Are they heading for the school where the kid from the Kurosaki family goes?" A black cat suddenly jumped onto the table in front of Urahara Kisuke, and a rough male voice came out of the black cat's mouth.

"Who knows?" Urahara Kisuke had changed his expression to nonchalant, "It's just a low-level Hollow, don't worry."

The anxious black cat got angry when he saw Urahara Kisuke's nonchalant look, and stretched out its sharp claws from its palms, and hit Urahara Kisuke's face twice with "swish".

"Yoichi-san." Urahara Kisuke covered his face and cried pitifully.

"Don't call me in such a disgusting tone." The black cat stretched out its claws again with a "swish" sound and said threateningly.

Urahara Kisuke immediately put his hand down, then sat up straight, put on a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Yoruichi. I have asked Tessai to take Xiaoyu and Jinta over. I will never let the boy from the Kurosaki family get hurt."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"Swish!"

Two more claw marks appeared on Urahara Kisuke's face, and the black cat walked out leisurely, leaving Urahara Kisuke with tears in his eyes.

Chapter 12: Void

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard from a corner of the busy street. A big hole suddenly appeared in a shop, and the broken stones on the wall flew everywhere, dust scattered, and many pedestrians were hit by the stones.

"Another explosion!"

A voice was heard among the chaotic crowd, and then the panicked crowd fled into the distance.

"oops!"

A beautiful woman with brown hair was running away with the crowd when a huge claw mark suddenly appeared on the ground in front of her. The beautiful woman with brown hair was first hit by the splashing gravel, and then she accidentally tripped over the cracks in the ground, and even her high heels were broken.

The beauty was lying on the ground, covering her knees and moaning in pain. A large piece of skin had been scraped off her right knee when she fell, and the severe pain made it impossible for her to get up.

At this time, two huge footprints appeared again in front of the beauty, as huge as the legendary mammoth. The beauty could feel as if she was covered by shadows, and extreme panic appeared in her heart.

“What… is… going on…? There are… invisible… monsters…” The beautiful woman, with a terrified face, was lying on the ground trembling. Although she couldn’t see anything around her, she felt as if she was surrounded by a flood and beasts.

And where the beauty couldn't see, a huge monster with a mask on its face stood in front of the beauty, drooling greedily from the corner of its mouth.

"Lone human, eat this appetizer first, then go over there for the main course."

The monster grinned, raised its thick front paws, and swung them towards the beauty.

At the same time, an intense sense of crisis and the breath of death enveloped the unable-to-move beauty, making her breathless for a moment, her face became even paler and weaker, and the heavy pressure from her head made her look desperate.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the entire road surface suddenly collapsed, with a large amount of gravel splashing everywhere.

"Food? Food! Where's my food?"

The monster howled angrily when it found there was nothing under its claws.

At this time, in the shadow of the eaves one hundred meters to the right of the monster, Diarmuid, who had released his spirit form, appeared here holding a beautiful woman with brown hair.

"It's alright, ma'am."

Diarmuid lowered his head and asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine. My name is Okino Yoko. May I ask who you are?"

The beautiful woman's face had turned from pale to red, and she looked at Diarmuid with eyes full of admiration and asked gently.

"I am Diarmuid Odinah from Ireland. I'm very sorry, ma'am, I can't treat your injuries. I can only cure the weakness and then send you to the hospital." Diarmuid said.

Diarmuid Odin? This name sounds familiar.

Although she heard a name that seemed familiar, Yoko Okino didn't have time to think about anything else, because the Hollow that Diarmuid mentioned had already discovered them.

"Great! More delicious food again!"

When the Hollow discovered Diarmuid's appearance and felt Diarmuid's abundant spiritual power, he suddenly lost his mind. His head was completely filled with appetite, and he rushed towards Diarmuid madly.

The ground along the way kept cracking, making Okino Yoko's face turn pale again. Although she couldn't see it, the footprints on the ground clearly exposed Xu's whereabouts.

"What is that monster, that invisible monster?"

Yoko Okino asked in a panic.

"Don't worry, it's just the lowest level of evil spirit."

Diarmuid helped Yoko Okino sit down against the wall.

"Please! Sir, help me, that evil spirit just wanted to eat me." Yoko Okino once again recalled the fear of almost being eaten before, tightly grasped Diarmuid's right arm, and pleaded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I won't refuse a request from a woman in trouble." Diarmuid said sincerely, and gently pulled his right arm out of Okino Yoko's grasp. "I'll take care of it right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmuid gradually disappeared from Yoko Okino's sight. It turned out that Diarmuid had already rushed out while he was speaking, and what was left in his place was only his afterimage that had not yet dissipated.

"Ow!!!"

Suddenly, Xu's body appeared, and even Yoko Okino could see it. The screams and the hideous body made Yoko Okino frightened.

"Is that thing also an evil spirit? I can't associate it with an evil spirit at all." After being surprised, Yoko Okino suddenly thought of something. She took out her mobile phone, switched to the camera function, and started filming.

Yoko Okino came to Karakura Town this time to make a program based on the Karakura Town explosion. Now that she has finally encountered the source of the incident, she will not forget the important matter just to see handsome men.

As expected, beings like Hollows and Death Gods weren't actually souls anymore. Hollows and Death Gods that could touch and be touched by entities were completely different from ordinary entities. Their invisibility was simply due to a special layer of power attached to their bodies, like a different kind of invisibility technique. Only those with strong spiritual power could see through that layer. Once that power was broken, the invisibility effect would be lost.

Diarmuid stood on the house to the left of Xu, turning the magic-breaking red rose in his hand, and said to himself.

Chapter 13 Chaos outside the school

After a scream from the hollow with a hole in his shoulder, his appetite was mixed with anger. After discovering Diarmuid's presence, he immediately rushed over again.

Diarmuid stepped forward and passed by the charging Hollow. When Diarmuid stopped on the ground, the Hollow, whose mask was shattered and head was pierced by the annihilable yellow rose, had begun to disintegrate into spirit particles.

After killing the Hollow, Diarmuid quickly returned to Okino Yoko and said to her, "Ma'am, have you been able to contact your friends? There are currently dozens of Hollows heading towards Karakura Junior High School. I need to intercept them immediately."

Okino Yoko hesitated for a moment, extremely reluctant to leave Diarmuid, but when she caught sight of the phone recording on the side, she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I can contact other friends. Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Diarmuid nodded in relief and then left quickly.

Yoko Okino looked at Diarmuid with a fiery gaze as he walked away. It was not until Diarmuid's figure disappeared and the effect of the mole of love disappeared that Yoko Okino's fiery gaze dimmed and she regained her sanity, but she did not realize that she was abnormal before.

Then Yoko Okino immediately picked up her phone, and after confirming that the video was complete, she called the program crew to come and pick her up.

Elsewhere, Diarmuid's figure vanished into a shadow, speeding through the streets of Karakura Town. In just a few breaths, he spotted dozens of Hollows advancing towards the school, tens of meters ahead. They were almost there. The roads along their path crumbled and crumbled in their reckless flight, turning them into vast rubble. Pedestrians, driven by this paranormal activity, fled in all directions. Some who fled in the wrong direction were mercilessly killed by the Hollows, their souls devoured.

The pedestrians who were either knocked away, had their chests pierced, or were torn to pieces by the invisible attack caused greater panic among the fleeing pedestrians. This situation was completely certain. Unlike before when the ground just cracked and no one was injured, the large number of human deaths now made everyone understand that some invisible monster was attacking the pedestrians.

"This is not good. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by the Divine Machine."

Under a grove of trees outside Karakura Junior High School, Wuling Tessai looked at the chaos in the distance and spoke in a deep voice. Standing beside him were Xiaoyu and Jinta.

"Why not? There have been large-scale deaths before, and the memories were rewritten using the memory-changing machine." Jin Tai looked up and asked.

"The last time a large-scale group of Hollows appeared in the human world was five years ago. At that time, there weren't as many cameras on the streets as there are now, and with the cooperation of the human government, it was easy to deal with. But since the incident four years ago, Karakura Town and the nearby cities became autonomous regions of Soul Society, and the human government no longer cares about matters related to Shinigami and Hollows." Wuling Tessai shook his head, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction in his words.

"What should we do now? Should we take action? Almost everyone is dying." Jin Tai asked.

"No rush, we just need to secretly slow down these hollows before the Shinigami stationed here come over." Wuling Tessai said indifferently. Although he has a gentle personality, for him, as a Shinigami who is used to seeing life and death, human life is really nothing. The most important thing now is that Kurosaki Ichigo must not get into trouble. In addition, if they can avoid taking action, they should do so to avoid attracting the attention of Soul Society. After all, they are still fugitives.

"Huh? That doesn't look like the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town."

Suddenly, Xiaoyu exclaimed, then pointed in the direction of the intersection in the distance and said.

"what?"

Wuling Tiezhai looked in the direction Xiaoyu pointed, and saw a man wearing tight leather armor and holding two guns appearing at the intersection in the distance. The man's figure flashed and appeared in the group of Hollows. With a few explosions, dozens of Hollows were defeated and turned into spirits.

"Captain-level combat power! How could such a powerful being exist in this world?" Wuling Tessai saw the man's strength at a glance. Although he didn't reveal anything else, his speed and strength alone were enough to be compared to a captain-level Shinigami. And although the other party was in spirit form, Wuling Tessai could tell that he was neither a Shinigami nor a Hollow.

"Isn't it said that the strongest person in the world is at the same level as the vice-captain who has been released from restrictions?" Jin Tai asked doubtfully.
