Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Chapter 64: Suzuki Kusu

Chapter 64: Suzuki Kusu

Are you lonely, Captain Kyraku? A slightly playful laugh entered Kyraku Shunsuis ears. Kyraku Shunsui then turned around and smiled awkwardly at the person behind him.

Cut me some slack, Lieutenant Shihin.

It was a dark-skinned girl with long ponytails and golden irises, with a witty and laid-back atmosphere around her. She was the current 2nd Division Lieutenant and the next head of the Shihin Clan, Shihin Yoruichi.

Yo, Yoruichi-san, are you the one coming in 2nd Divisions stead this time?

Muyang chummily greeted Yoruichi as he waved his hand.

Yeah, but now I regret coming here after seeing you. Even if there are some promising talents, I bet they will flock to you. Yoruichi glanced at Muyang with a disappointed look. Didnt you say you werent coming? Whats with the sudden change of heart?

Muyang just awkwardly laughed as he couldnt tell Yoruichi that he came there to slack off.

Yoruichi just rolled her eyes as she more or less figured it out from Muyangs response and looked towards the entrance of the square, It seems that the students are here. Are you guys gonna give a speech today?

Muyang and Kyraku Shunsui looked at each other and said in unison: Theres no way! Ill leave it to him.

Both of them could not help laughing while Hirako Shinji and Lisas veins bulged as both of their Captain were so laid-back that they were also embarrassed as a Lieutenant.

Kimura, you are here too! I thought only Captain Kyraku would be coming today. Aranmaru Shishin said toward Muyang with a smile. He saw Muyang from the square, so he immediately ran toward them.

Well, it was kind of in the heat of the moment, so I didnt have the time to notify you in advance. Muyang explained, then looked at Aranmaru Shishin puzzledly: You look particularly happy. Did something happen?

Now that youre here, I could not help thinking about the day we graduated. I remember how you stole the spotlight that day!

Yeah, several years have passed before we know it.

Kyraku Shunsui tilted down his bamboo hat when he heard Muyang got all emotional. He admired Muyangs youth as he no longer remembered what happened at his graduation because it was such a long time ago.

Muyang suddenly dragged Aranmaru Shishin away from the rest and whispered, you are a teacher here, right? Do you know any promising fledglings among this years graduates?

Although Muyang made sure to keep his voice down, everyone could hear what he said to Aranmaru Shishin clearly. Kyraku Shunsui just smiled wryly. As usual, Muyang couldnt cease to surprise them! Hirako Shinji was so embarrassed to the point that he couldnt stand Lisa and Yoruichis ridiculing stare directed at him.

Wait, you dont know? Aranmaru Shishin was surprised. So let me get this straight, youre coming here as a Captain to recruit new students, yet you didnt even check about any of the students information?

Like I said, its in the heat of the moment. I left it all to my 3rd Seat, so I havent checked. Come on, dont be a cheapskate and tell me.

What a hopeless guy. Aranmaru Shishin shook his head, but then suddenly smirked and said to Muyang: If you are looking for a promising student, then its got to be your former classmate that you met when you visit me last time, Suzuki Kusu! She is one of the best among the graduates this year. But then again, Im sure she will join your Division even though youre not coming here in person.

Seeing the sly smile on Aranmaru Shishins face, Muyang wanted to punch him in the face so badly. Even though he clearly knew that he and Suzuki Kusu were only classmates, he deliberately said it in such a teasing manner as if they had some sort of special relationship.

Oh? Dont worry, I didnt hear anything.

Even though Kyraku Shunsui said, I didnt hear anything, the look on his face clearly said I heard everything.

When Muyang saw Lisas flushed face, clearly excited about the sudden turn of events, Yoruichis curious smile, and the faint smile on Hirako Shinjis face, Muyang wanted to cry so badly, but no tears came out. He realized that there was no point in explaining himself now that it has got to this point.

Lisa pushed her glasses frame back up, and her lenses flashed like a typical anime character. Muyang had a bad feeling when he saw this, and that was when he remembered Lisa loved spying on peoples privacy. Now that her curiosity was piqued, Muyang knew that he wouldnt be able to sleep peacefully.

Muyang immediately averted his eyes from Aranmaru Shishins smug face as he might not be able to restrain the urge to beat him up unless he did so.

Muyang was thinking about breaking Aranmaru Shishins nose if Suzuki Kusu wasnt as skilled as he said when suddenly

Umm Kimura-san I mean, Captain Kimura.

Muyang came back to his senses, and immediately said with a smile once he noticed a cheerful girl was standing right in front of him: Ah, Suzuki Kusu, no need to be so formal, just call me Kimura. We used to be classmates, after all.

Muyang was taken aback for a moment. Even though he was deep in thoughts, to think that he didnt notice Suzuki Kusu coming was truly surprising. Even an average Captain couldnt hide their presence like that.

Lisa pushed her glasses frame back up, wondering whether the girl in front of Muyang was the same girl they talked about just now.

The girl had a Slender figure, fair skin, shoulder-length hair, light brown pupils. No matter how she looked at it, the girl was definitely a beauty but as she observed Suzuki Kusu blushed when she talked with Muyang, she frowned and the question that crossed her mind first was why did she seem so timid?

Kyraku Shunsuis complexion changed when he looked at Suzuki Kusu. Something mustve crossed his mind.

Yo, Captain Kyraku, dont tell me you suddenly have perverted thoughts the moment you saw that cutie? Yoruichi asked sternly.

Wh Of course not, Lieutenant Shihin. Something bothers me a little, thats all. Kyraku Shunsui gently rubbed his chin, seemingly to be deep in thought, We didnt even notice Suzuki-kuns presence until shes right in front of us.

Yoruichi was surprised. Now that she thought about it, Kyraku Shunsui was right! It completely slipped off her mind as she didnt really care about the girl. Although she was only a Lieutenant now, she was confident that her Shunpo could even rival that of a Captain, and that was why what Kyraku Shunsui just said blew her mind. If someone who mastered Shunpo like Yoruichi didnt even see her coming, that could only mean

Is it Zanpakuto Ability? Thats one hell of an ability.

Yoruichi nodded as he agreed with Kyraku Shunsui. Even though everyone wasnt really paying attention, it was an undeniable fact that Suzuki Kusu managed to slip under two Captains and three Lieutenants radar.

I will take my leave here then, Captain Kimura.

Well, I look forward to seeing you in the 10th Division in the future.

Yes!

Suzuki Kusu smiled, and Muyang nodded in response. Suzuki Kusu then turned around and left after saluting Kyraku Shunsui and Yoruichi and glancing at Lisa.

How perceptive. Kyraku Shunsui said as he saw Suzuki Kusus last glance at Lisa before looking towards Muyang and said: Congratulations, Captain Kimura, you have found an excellent addition to your Division.

Haha, well, yeah~ Muyang couldnt conceal his joy. His former classmate is really something else. Although her Reiatsu was only around the level of a 7th or 8th Seat, her keen perception and peculiar stealth ability more than made up for it. At first, he just wanted to slack off and didnt expect to find such an exceptional rookie.

But she is too shy, dont you think? Can she even do a Shinigamis job properly? Hirako Shinji asked Muyang.

Shy? I dont think so. Lisa said out of the blue.
