Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

A tender but firm voice sounded.

As the ups and downs of the chant quickly ended, the round and red fireball hit the target in the courtyard directly. The target made of a small amount of murderous stone fragments soon showed the corresponding number on the surface: eight.

This is the level of spiritual power.

Objects that can test the level of spiritual power are not very common among the upper nobles, let alone this kind of target that can also be used as a test of ghost way.

Although this corner of the land is remote, the Ise family members who own it are not simple.

"Huh."

While Ise Nanao was constantly studying ghost way, the two old men sitting on the outer corridor of the house were quietly drinking tea while focusing their attention on Ise Nanao - it might be a bit inappropriate to treat her as a daughter due to the age difference, but the two old men did treat Ise Nanao as a granddaughter to train her.

"Hadao Thirty-one Red Fire Cannon!"

Ise Nanao once again condensed a new Red Fire Cannon.

Although she was not used to the lack of Haruto's help, Nanao Ise was a genius in ghost arts. Even the simplest repetition of ghost arts could help her find her shortcomings and improve.

Just then.

"Bang bang."

A regular knock on the door sounded from outside the courtyard. It was just the sound of knuckles hitting the door, but it overwhelmed the explosion of the red fire cannon.

"?"

The old couple looked at each other in silence.

"At this time..."

"Old man, our neighbors don't seem to have the habit of visiting after dinner?"

"I'll go and see."

The hunched old man nodded and stood up.

Then -

"Excuse me, is this Nanao Ise's house?"

Before he put down the teacup and prepared to take action, a young voice with full energy came from outside the door.

"Ah?"

Nanao Ise was obviously stunned when he heard this voice.

"Ah Haru!?"

————

Volume 1: 013, Zanhualun

"Oh my~"

The old red tray was neatly stacked with soy sauce-flavored senbei and slightly sweet rice crackers.

"How can I be so embarrassed."

In the living room of the old couple in Ise, Haruto was solemnly welcomed in.

As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. Haruto came here with gifts: fresh tea and authentic authentic snacks-although they are not rare, they are just what the two old people like...The information was given by the store manager Omaeda.

"Since I know that the elders are at home, I naturally have no reason to come empty-handed."

Haruto patted the dust on his buttocks and sat down on the futon in front of the table as instructed, and took the opportunity to look around:

Although they seem to live in poverty, the old couple, from their residence to the old objects they use, reveal the unique inner charm of the upper nobility everywhere...In other words, there are no cheap goods, but it is not easy for ordinary people to see.

"Young man, you are really good at talking."

The old lady covered her mouth and laughed.

"With your help to take care of Nanao's life in the Maou Spiritual Academy, we are both relieved."

"Auntie--"

Nanao, who had just sat down, was blocked by the old lady before she could refute.

"Okay."

"I heard Nanao say a lot about you. This little girl was a little depressed when she came back in the afternoon."

"She must have thought you forgot the agreement between the two of you."

Although it was said in a joking way, the old lady of the Ise family did not have no complaints in her mouth:

They pay attention to the mood of their "granddaughter".

"It's getting late today."

Even in summer, when Haruto came to Nanao's house, it was already after seven o'clock-his legs and feet were definitely not slow by comparison. You know, it takes at least 40 days for an ordinary soul to go around the Soul Society.

"If you want to practice ghost arts in the dark... Of course there are conditions, but it's too late and the roads around here are not easy to walk. Do you want to stay at our house for a night?"

"... Then I'd rather obey you."

Haruto did not refuse.

The vacation at the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts is only seven days. If he returns to the academy dormitory to sleep and leaves at dawn, he will waste another half a day - the journey back to "home" is already quite tight, and there is no need to waste it for face if it can be saved.

As for the accommodation conditions nearby...

Not to mention that there are few hotels in Seireitei, there are no cheap ones at all.

"Okay."

The old lady nodded with relief.

She had just sat down, and immediately stood up from the futon with her waist.

"Then I'll go clean up the guest room."

"I'll help too!"

Seeing this, Ise Nanao also stood up quickly.

Soon.

In the room that was bustling just now, only Haruto and the old man opposite who was sipping tea were left.

"......"

He could only follow suit and drink more hot water.

"Haruto."

"Please go ahead."

When the other party took the initiative to speak, Haruto knew that today's drama was finally coming.

"How many of Nanao's Kidou books have you read?"

"All."

"All?"

"Yes, 17 types of Podo and 13 types of Kudo."

Although it is said that there are "Kiddos below number 75", it does not really record 150 different types of Kiddos, not to mention that there are also many high-level Kiddos related information - in fact, a book can record detailed information about 30 Kiddos, and the content is already very exaggerated.

"How many of them have you learned?"

"All."

Haruto did not exaggerate.

Although Haruto only chose Thunder Roar Cannon and Lock Bar Binding for special training among the high-level Kiddos, he did not only master these two: if we only talk about "learning", Haruto can successfully release all the Kiddos in the book.

"...... Incredible."

The old man of the Ise family sighed, and even his eyes, which had been covered by white eyebrows, widened unconsciously.

"I thought you were just a little talented brat who wanted to take shortcuts."

"Now it seems..."

"Nanao's description of you is still conservative."

Obviously, Haruto's "self-exposure" made the old man change his original idea... although the original plan is no longer reliable.

"With such talent, even without the help of the Book of Kidō, he can successfully join the Kidōshu after normal graduation."

"A hundred years..."

"No, it is possible to become the deputy Kidōchō chief within thirty years."

The old man's evaluation of Haruto was even higher than that of Kuchiki Ginrei.

The Kidōshu is nominally on the same level as the Gotei 13, and the status of the deputy Kidōchō chief is not equivalent to the deputy captain, but a serious captain-level combat power.

"You are too kind."

Haruto bowed his head very modestly.

"This is not too kind, I still have some vision."

The old man shook his head and said.

Although he has retired now, he used to be a serious priest of the Ise family - most of the men who married into the Ise family's direct lineage died, but the side branches did not suffer this "curse" - as one of the three major priest families (upper nobles) in the Seireitei, being able to take on such an important task in the Ise family is enough to prove the old man's ability.

With such an identity, if he were to join the Kidō Clan, he would have to be a master at the level of a deputy Kidō chief.

"After all, that book..."

"But I wrote it for Nanao myself."

"!?"

Haruto didn't have time to show his surprise.

"Being able to master all the Kidō in the book, the deputy captain level is just the foundation, even if you don't rely on your Zanpakutō."

The old man stroked his beard that fell to his chest.

"I guess."

"With your current ability, if you graduate directly, you can still take the sixth or seventh seat in any of the Gotei 13."

"... The old man really has a sharp eye."

"Humph."

The old man snorted lightly, not taking Haruto's praise to heart.

"Let's get back to business."

"Haruto."

The old man's expression was much more serious than before.

"Are you interested in Kidō above number 75?"

"... That's for sure."

High-level Kidō above number 75.

These are all rare goods, and only the vice-captains who are proficient in ghost arts have the opportunity to touch and display their abilities.

Senior officers?

Even if the secret is placed in front of them, they may not be able to master it.

Moreover, as long as the ghost arts of this number can be fully displayed, it can at least pose a real threat to the vice-captain level.

Haruto has not yet come into contact with ghost arts of this level, and it is impossible for him to say that he does not want to learn.

"......"

"Dong."

After a short silence.

An ancient bamboo book appeared in the middle of the tea table instead of the snacks.

Haruto did not flip through the secret book at the first time. After gently stroking the surface of the secret book that he did not understand how it appeared, he sat upright and straightened his body.
