Upon hearing Yu Mikami's words, both Ukitake and Shunsui looked surprised.
Within a week... to master Old Man Yamamoto's basic Hakudō?
Was this Little Junior Brother really that bold?
To boast such claims?
Having been through their own student days, the two quickly guessed the sequence of events.
This genius Little Junior Brother probably learned things quickly, building a lot of confidence.
Eager to learn advanced techniques right after starting Yamamoto Genryusai's Hakudō basics.
On Yamamoto Genryusai's end, he was likely prepared to teach the Little Junior Brother a lesson about patience and not rushing for glory.
Understanding this, they exchanged knowing smiles.
They had been through it all in their time.
Yamamoto Genryusai let out a low laugh.
"What's this? Are you trying to back out?"
"At this point, it's too late to regret!"
"This old man told you before, didn't I? If you can't master the basic techniques proficiently within a week, I'll have you train under the waterfall."
"Conveniently, in South Rukongai's 16th district, there's a nice waterfall."
"This week, you don't need to return to school. Reflect properly beneath the waterfall!"
"Guards!"
At his words, several members of the Onmitsukidō instantly appeared in the room, kneeling on one knee, awaiting Yamamoto Genryusai's orders.
Yamamoto Genryusai was about to instruct them to escort Master Mikami to the waterfall when Yu Mikami quickly interjected, "Wait a minute, Captain-Commander Lord!"
"Is there something more you wish to say?" Yamamoto Genryusai glanced at him.
Yu Mikami maintained his raised hand as he spoke, "I've already mastered it."
"Hmm?"
Yamamoto Genryusai looked at him with a skeptical expression.
Already mastered it?
He didn't believe it.
The Hakudō basics he developed were significantly different from what was taught at the Academy.
Previously, he had considered promoting his training methods.
However, he quickly realized that if students with less talent practiced his techniques, it might harm their bodies, making the standard version preferable.
No matter how much of a genius Yu Mikami was, mastering it within a week seemed unrealistic.
Besides, Yamamoto Genryusai was well aware of Yu Mikami's personality.
If he truly had mastered it, he would have already boasted and asked for advanced techniques.
Why would this brat miss such an opportunity?
"What have you mastered?"
"I've already mastered the advanced technique for one hand."
Yu Mikami held up a fist and waved it at Yamamoto Genryusai.
Yamamoto Genryusai: "?"
Before he could fully process this, Yu Mikami continued, "So, Captain-Commander Lord, you can skip the first step and teach me the technique for both hands!"
Yamamoto Genryusai: "???"
Seeing that Yu Mikami didn't appear to be joking, he couldn't help but wear a bewildered expression.
Nearby, Shunsui exchanged a glance with Ukitake.
"Uh, Jūshirō, did I hear that right..."
"Our Little Junior Brother managed to go from zero to mastering Old Man Yamamoto's 'Ikkotsu' in just a week?"
Ukitake blinked, sharing the same incredulous look.
Yamamoto Genryusai frowned, staring intently at Yu Mikami.
After a few seconds, he gestured for Yu Mikami to show him.
After becoming familiar with it over a few days, Yu Mikami had completely mastered Ikkotsu.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward swiftly and punched toward Yamamoto Genryusai!
Boom!!!!
Yamamoto Genryusai lifted an arm to block, and a ring of white shockwave erupted!
Feeling the explosive power against his arm, Yamamoto Genryusai couldn't help but feel astounded.
This kid... had really learned it!
He had only provided him with the basic training method without any specific techniques.
This guy had managed to comprehend the mechanics of "Ikkotsu" all on his own!
He always thought his two students, Shunsui and Ukitake, were remarkable geniuses.
Compared to Yu Mikami, they seemed almost mediocre!
For a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai felt shock, then unconcealed joy, followed by a serious expression.
Yu Mikami stared at his fist.
That punch seemed to reveal something to him.
There appeared to be room for further synergy between his fist and Reiatsu.
If both could be perfectly synchronized, the power might multiply again...
While he was deep in thought, Yamamoto Genryusai's voice suddenly broke in.
"Yu Mikami."
"Hm, huh?"
Yu Mikami snapped back to attention and looked at Yamamoto Genryusai.
"Captain-Commander, I just had an idea, hear me out. What if we combine Reiatsu—"
"Yu Mikami, would you be willing to become a disciple of this old man?"
"...?"
Yu Mikami's face stiffened with surprise.
Shunsui's eyes lit up.
Standing behind Yamamoto Genryusai, he quickly gestured to Yu Mikami.
By now, Yu Mikami was gradually coming to grips with the situation.
Under Yamamoto Genryusai's gaze, he stood at attention.
"Student Yu Mikami greets the teacher!!"
Having witnessed Yamamoto Genryusai's various wondrous powers, he no longer found the idea of becoming his disciple troublesome as he did initially.
This old man was an inexhaustible fountain of knowledge.
Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai nodded in satisfaction.
At first, he had taken Yu Mikami under his wing mainly to shield him from the nobles' disturbances.
But now, he was genuinely interested.
If this boy were properly nurtured, his potential would be limitless.
Such a promising talent should not be left to grow wild.
Formally accepting him as a disciple now settled a concern in his mind.
Watching the scene unfold, Ukitake also smiled.
Seemingly reminded of something, he quickly left the dojo and hurried to Yamamoto Genryusai's quarters.
Before long, he returned with a scroll and ink.
"Yamamoto Genryusai-sensei, I have brought the register of our school. Let's officially add Mikami-kun today!"
At this, Yamamoto Genryusai nodded.
After a brief initiation ceremony, he took up the brush, unrolled the scroll, and with a vigorous stroke, inscribed Yu Mikami's name at the bottom.
Thus, Yu Mikami officially became a disciple of Genryusai.
He was eager to seize the moment to ask Yamamoto Genryusai how to refine the technique he had just been contemplating.
However, after Yamamoto Genryusai put away the scroll, he mentioned that he had other matters to attend to and suggested discussing it next time, promptly dismissing all three of them.
Walking down the corridor of the 1st Division, Yu Mikami couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Why does it feel like my treatment has worsened since becoming an official disciple?"
Hearing this, Shunsui chuckled.
"Don't worry, Yu. You'll have plenty of opportunities to experience Old Man Yamamoto's less dependable side."
Ukitake gave him a sideways glance.
He reassured, "Yu, don't listen to Shunsui's nonsense."
After checking their surroundings to ensure no one else was around, Ukitake lowered his voice and said:
"A few days ago, there was a battle in South Rukongai."
"A group of rebels attacked a Gotei 13 patrol squad."
"Initially, the patrol squad was at a disadvantage, but then an unidentified Shinigami joined the fray."
"The rebel squad had Shinigami using Shikai to fight back, but they were easily subdued."
"After learning of this, Yamamoto Genryusai-sensei sent people to investigate. We were just reporting the progress."
"Yamamoto Genryusai-sensei isn't intentionally neglecting you. He's concerned about an unknown force interfering, which could impact the situation, so he has to concentrate on handling it."
Yu Mikami was slightly taken aback by Ukitake's words.
Those events... it sounded just like what Aizen did.
Did that troublemaker really catch Yamamoto Genryusai's attention?
