Is there a surprise in Chapter 648?
Long Gui noticed Yu Zi's gaze, grinned, and greeted her, "I'll have to ask for your guidance again, Teacher Yu Zi."
Yu Zi smiled slightly: "It's me on the other side. Please give me your guidance."
Her gaze lingered on Chad to the side, and after nodding slightly, she headed towards the podium.
That child possessed a subtle power, which, if I remember correctly, seemed to be called... Fullbring?
Yuko has always had a superficial understanding of the Soul Society; she can remember most of what she has read, but there is much more she hasn't read.
If I remember correctly, Fullbring seems to be a technique where the mother is attacked by a Hollow while pregnant and survives. As a result, fragments of Hollow spiritual energy remain in the mother's body and are eventually passed on to the child.
"Damn it!" Ichigo slumped weakly onto the table, clutching his head in his hands, his face contorted in pain. "Karin and Yuuko were in elementary school!"
Long Gui's lips twitched slightly: "You really are a terrible older brother."
Chad had never seen Ichigo with this expression before and couldn't help but ask, "Is this teacher very strict?"
"He seems like a very nice person."
Long Gui waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't worry, Teacher Yu Zi is very gentle."
At least she had never seen Ikuko-sensei be mean to anyone other than Ichigo.
"Ah, yeah." Ichigo slumped onto the table, feeling dejected. "She's just targeting me on purpose."
……
Kurosaki Ichigo thus endured a miserable junior high school life, which continued until he graduated from junior high school.
On his first day of high school, before leaving home, Ichigo Kurosaki, dressed in his school uniform, asked his mother this question.
"Mom, you don't have any surprises for me today, do you?"
"Mom?" Kurosaki Isshin leaped from the second floor, delivering a knight kick to Ichigo below. "Show some respect for your mother!"
"Call your mother affectionately!"
Ichigo's eye twitched slightly, and he turned and kicked back.
"Well!"
It hit the bullseye, kicking Kurosaki Isshin squarely in the stomach and sending him flying.
Ichigo sighed, "What a disgrace."
Masaki leaned against the second-floor railing with a smile: "What surprise? Nothing~"
The head nurse breathed a sigh of relief and waved to her family, "I'm heading out."
"Be careful on the road."
"Aunt Yuko!" Ichigo was not completely off guard and deliberately called out twice as he passed Yuko's house.
"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" Yu Zi yawned as she opened the second-floor window, gently touching her forehead, her hair a little messy and hanging over her shoulders.
"Great!"
Ichigo suddenly jumped up on the spot, and without saying goodbye, he excitedly ran away.
Yu Zi stared blankly at his departing figure. Was this guy really that happy to know she was their math teacher?
Has that child finally evolved out of his rebellious phase?
What are today's model students who are considerate of their parents and respectful of their teachers?
Yu Zi nodded with satisfaction.
Karakura Town First High School, Class 3, First Year.
Ichigo Kurosaki sat in a chair, praying with his eyes closed: "Amitabha, God bless, teacher must be teacher."
Tatsuki, who was once again in the same class as Ichigo, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene.
"That's too much, Ichigo."
"Not at all!" Ichigo retorted with a roar, then quickly closed his eyes and began chanting again.
Chado's calm voice rang out again: "No matter what, Ms. Yuko shouldn't be chasing after us all the way to the high school."
Kurosaki Ichigo's hand trembled, his eyes snapped open, and he said, shaking all over, "That guy could definitely be!"
Jingle bell bell~
As the school bell rang, the students returned to their seats.
Kurosaki Ichigo chanted even more forcefully, his hands clenching tightly.
Please! He'd accept it even if it wasn't human!
Please, please, don't let it be Aunt Yuko again!
As footsteps echoed down the corridor, a figure entered the classroom.
"An unfamiliar teacher, with black hair..."
Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at the scene, then stood up, overjoyed and weeping, his arms outstretched as if bathed in holy light.
It's freedom!
He is free!
"Hey student, class has already started."
"Ah! Sorry!"
Kurosaki Ichigo quickly sat down, his hands still trembling with excitement.
"I am Ochi Miyu, your Japanese language teacher," Ochi Miyu, with long black hair and black-rimmed glasses, introduced herself. "From today onwards, I will be your homeroom teacher."
You can call me Ochi-sensei or Miyu-sensei, either is fine.
"I hope you will continue to guide me over the next three years."
Chinese literature, or homeroom teacher...
Stable! Stable!
Kurosaki Ichigo, in a very loud voice: "Nice to meet you, Miyu-sensei!"
Ochi Miyu was stunned for a moment. This child had dyed her hair yellow, and she thought she would be a troublesome person who would be difficult to manage, but it turned out to be a good child.
……
"Huh huh huh~"
During recess, Ichigo Kurosaki happily hummed a little tune in his seat.
Long Gui, with a slanted eyebrow, approached his desk: "I'm so happy~"
"Isn't that natural?"
"Ah~ High school life is so enviable." Ichigo smiled happily.
Long Gui's lips twitched. "This guy is beyond saving."
“You would never understand, Ryuki.” Ichigo’s expression suddenly turned serious, tears welling in his eyes. “The fear of being controlled by Aunt Yuko.”
"...That's because you're a real handful for the adults."
"In short, I am free now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the school bell rang, and a series of exclamations suddenly came from the classroom.
"what?"
The two subconsciously looked around and saw a beautiful female teacher in a simple long dress with long, bright red hair tied in a ponytail putting down her textbook in front of the podium.
"..."
"Looks like your life is about to turn gloomy again." After a brief silence, Ryuki shrugged, left Ichigo's seat, and muttered to himself, "They're practically chasing after me."
Ichigo stared blankly at the podium.
Yuko picked up the chalk and wrote her name.
"Tsugikuni Ikuko, just call me Ikuko-sensei. From today onwards, I will be in charge of your mathematics."
"Why math?!"
Ichigo couldn't help but stand up.
Yu Zi tilted her head and smiled slightly: "Because I sometimes want to try something different."
"Can this be changed so easily?!" Ichigo slammed his fist on the table, tears streaming down his face.
Give him back his gratitude!
Yu Zi said with concern, "This student, if there is anything sad about you, you can tell us so that everyone can hear it."
"After everyone has laughed, you may not feel so sad anymore."
Ichigo Kurosaki shuddered: "Are you a devil?!"
On that day, Ichigo Kurosaki understood.
What's more terrifying than despair is the despair that follows having had the privilege of witnessing hope.
It was so miserable that he had completely resigned himself to his fate.
After class, many boys surrounded Ichigo.
"Hello, I am Kojima Mizuiro."
"I am Keigo Asano."
"...I am Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Hey, do you know that super pretty teacher?"
"Whether I should say I knew him or not... it was a very cruel memory."
"Damn it! You actually have fond memories of that kind of beauty!"
"...Are you even listening to me?"
On the other side, Yuko sat at her desk, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.
Ichigo's class is truly full of talented people.
Another Fullbringer.
However, what troubled Yuko was that Ryuki was perfectly normal. Although he had absorbed a lot of Ichigo's spiritual pressure, he was still within the range of an ordinary person.
They're childhood sweethearts...
Oh no!
It seems like nowadays there's a trend of "green plums can't beat falling from the sky."
Thinking about it carefully, Ichigo used to affectionately call him "Little Dragon" when he was in elementary school, but he started calling him by his name after he entered middle school.
Isn't this the end for Long Gui?
They were childhood sweethearts!
Yuko shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts.
If Masaki and Isshin found out about this, they'd probably make a huge fuss.
However, Ichigo's spiritual pressure is getting stronger and stronger. Even with Kurosaki Isshin's suppression, he is probably not far from seeing a Hollow.
Is the storyline about to unfold?
Thus, Ichigo's happy high school life, which had just begun, suddenly turned into a painful one.
……
"At 7:30 a.m., we suddenly heard a loud bang, and several sections of the building's walls exploded."
The television station was broadcasting news like this.
Yuko turned off the TV expressionlessly, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left home.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Ichigo standing at my front door with a sandwich in his mouth.
Yuko reminded her, "We're going to be late."
"No way." Ichigo rolled his eyes and handed over the sandwich he was holding. "Besides, aren't you the same?"
"I don't have class in the first period~"
"Tsk."
Yuko didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite: "Masaki's cooking is amazing, she's almost as good as me."
“It’s just a sandwich…” Ichigo’s eyelids twitched, and he couldn’t refute it at all.
Because although this guy has a bad personality, his cooking skills are really top-notch.
Yuko often visits their home, and the two families have a good relationship, so she occasionally helps with cooking.
"Good luck! I won't help you if you're late."
Yuko waved at him and slowly closed the door.
"Long-winded."
Ichigo turned and left.
"As expected, no matter what kind of creature it is, they are cutest when they are young," Yu Zi sighed. "Rebellious teenagers are the most troublesome for adults."
Kurosaki Ichigo's face flushed slightly, and he quickened his pace.
……
On his way to school, Ichigo was walking along the roadside, munching on a sandwich, when he suddenly heard a scream.
"That voice is...!" Ichigo immediately ran towards the direction from which the voice came.
That appears to be the location where the explosion was reported by the television station.
A cloud of dust billowed ahead, startling a group of pedestrians who ran in the opposite direction.
Amidst the dust and smoke, a massive shadow emerged.
"What...is that?" Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at the figure in shock.
"elder brother!"
Before the dust settled, the spirit of the little girl whom Ichigo had cared for yesterday ran toward him.
"Run!" Ichigo immediately realized what was happening and turned to run with him.
A figure passed by ahead, seemingly noticing the commotion, and turned around.
Ichigo Kurosaki's heart tightened, and he quickly waved his hand: "Aunt Ikuko! Quick..."
Yu Zi looked at him and said calmly, "It's too late to start running now."
"Just wait and you'll get a scolding."
Without waiting for Ichigo's reply, he calmly walked away along the road.
"No way!" Ichigo exclaimed in frustration, his heart involuntarily sinking back down.
"ah!"
The girl following behind her tripped and fell.
Just as the monster was about to reach the two of them, a black butterfly flashed past Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes.
A dark figure descended from the sky and killed the monster in a few swift moves.
Watching the two meet from the corner, Yuko thoughtfully stroked her chin.
"Death, I didn't know there were such creatures in this world. It feels like I haven't seen one in so many years."
Is a storm coming?
Yuko looked up at the sky and left the scene.
……
"Ichigo, could you please stop coming to me for help every time you're late?" Yuko raised her head expressionlessly.
Ichigo clasped his hands together and said, "Please! Aunt Yuuko!"
"I have done more than enough for you."
"Please help me out, since you watched me grow up!"
Yu Zi finally sighed: "Fine, I'll help you out since I've messed with you so many times before."
Kurosaki Ichigo's lips twitched: "You seem to have accidentally revealed a shocking truth."
"Do you have any opinion?"
"...don't dare."
As evening approached, Yuko, standing at the second-floor window, watched Xu pass by the door without changing her expression.
"Is it sensing Ichigo's spiritual power, or is it chasing after that Shinigami?"
Having learned from Tanjiro's experience, Ikuko is quite experienced in dealing with this kind of situation.
"Just in case, let's go and check it out."
Yu Zi muttered something to herself and took off her coat, draping it over her shoulders.
After all, what if things don't turn out the way she expects? Wouldn't it be terrible if Masaki and Isshin became ordinary people?
That Hollow wasn't that strong; the Shinigami's power should have been enough to handle it.
……
"We're getting close."
Ichigo saw the guy who had inexplicably appeared in his room and was muttering strange words, and kicked him.
"Closer my foot! Are you an idiot?"
"You mean something like a safe when you're close?" Ichigo turned on the light, pointing angrily at the Shinigami who had been kicked to the ground. "Are you really this blatant in your thievery?"
Rukia Kuchiki turned around in surprise: "You, you can see me?"
"You did kick me, actually."
Meanwhile, in the room of the Kurosaki couple.
Before Masaki could fall asleep, she suddenly felt a chilling aura in her heart.
Although it has lost its power, that is beyond doubt.
That aura was...
"Xu!"
Masaki's breath hitched, and she instinctively tried to leave the room.
"There's a young Shinigami in Ichigo's room, don't worry."
A voice came from behind.
Masaki breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Yuuko sitting on the edge of the bed: "Yuuko, it's good that you're here."
"She's focused on being a caregiver and won't be here tonight."
"If something happens, I really don't know what I'll do."
