Bleach: The Unique Time Zanpakutō

[Task Reward: Kidō Mastery!]

"Another task with an unclear reward,"

Kyōraku Callum stared at the task notification for a moment before looking away.

"Ten Kidō spells?"

He rubbed his sweat-dampened hair, his expression returning to its usual languidness.

From a certain angle, Kyōraku Callum's face bore a striking resemblance to Kyōraku Shunsui's. Perhaps it was a family trait; their personalities also shared similarities.

Knock knock!

After tidying his dorm, Kyōraku Callum heard a knock at the door. He opened it, puzzled. "Who could be here at this hour?"

A small figure stood before him, head bowed low, her flushed skin barely visible beneath her dark hair.

"C-could you help me move some things?"

Rukia stammered, her voice barely a whisper.

"What do you mean?"

Kyōraku Callum was completely bewildered.

Rukia glanced to the right of his dorm. Kyōraku Callum followed her gaze to a mountain of rabbit plushies piled onto a cart. Two dorm supervisors stood nearby, offering awkward yet polite smiles.

"Rukia wouldn't let us move them, so we had to ask you."

Kyōraku Callum's lips curved into a slight smile.

"No problem, classmates should help each other out."

The supervisors seemed pleased, especially after seeing the family crest on Kyōraku Callum's uniform.

"In that case, we'll leave these to you!"

They turned and left swiftly—so quickly that Kyōraku Callum would have suspected Shunpo if he hadn't sensed any spiritual pressure fluctuations.

Kyōraku Callum approached the cart, Rukia following silently, her head down, lost in thought.

Reaching the cart, Kyōraku Callum noticed something significant.

"This… is next to my dorm?"

"Rukia, did you request this?"

Rukia, having just regained her composure, was thrown off balance again.

"No, it was the dorm supervisors!"

She insisted loudly, "I just… followed their instructions!"

Kyōraku Callum nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you're right." It was best not to contradict Rukia; he didn't want her to overheat and require a trip to the 4th Division.

Kyōraku Callum readily scooped up a pile of plushies, then froze. The scent of Rukia's perfume filled his nostrils.

He finally understood why she hadn't let others move them. Perhaps it stemmed from a certain level of trust?

"Kidō is essential for Shinigami."

The Kidō instructor, unlike the previous instructors, was rather attractive. However, Kyōraku Callum wasn't interested in their appearance.

He focused on completing his check-in task and was particularly attentive to the Kidō lesson. Also, due to a certain girl's unauthorized presence beside him, Kyōraku Callum was even more focused.

"Different Kidō spells have different incantations. The first step is to memorize these incantations."

The instructor, Asami Ryōko, was a member of the Kidō Corps, proficient in various Bakudō, Hadō, and Kaidō spells. She'd been a Kidō instructor at the academy for over a century.

As for why Rukia was sitting next to Kyōraku Callum and was in the advanced class, that was a story about the Seireitei's corrupt noble system—a tale for another time.

Suffice it to say, Kyōraku Callum used his influence to get Rukia transferred to Class A. A certain red-haired youth was particularly excited about this.

However, what followed was quite surprising. Rukia was sitting next to Kyōraku Callum. Abarai Renji found this hard to accept.

"What's happened in the last couple of days?!"

"Hadō #1: Shō!"

Channeling spiritual pressure into his index finger, an energy wave struck the wooden target on the training ground.

Smoke billowed, and the target vanished instantly.

Asami Ryōko showed no surprise, calmly making notes in her book. Other students attempted the spell, but only a few succeeded. One blond youth caught Kyōraku Callum's attention.

"Kira Izuru,"

he noted mentally. He had no interest in interacting with the future 3rd Division lieutenant.

"Kyōraku, come with me."

Asami Ryōko closed her book and approached Kyōraku Callum. He followed, unsure why.

They went to a quiet corner of the training ground.

"Kyōraku, your performance exceeded my expectations."

Asami Ryōko was decisive, lacking any typical feminine weakness.

"Captain Kyōraku instructed me not to limit your learning."

"So, for the coming period, feel free to utilize your talent!"

Kyōraku Callum's eyes lit up.

"Excellent!"

From then on, Kyōraku Callum's schedule differed from the other students.

After demonstrating his Zanjutsu skills to Gengorō Ōunabara, he was deemed an exceptional student, granted special privileges.

The same applied to Shunpo class; Sakashita Kan-machi's skill was inferior to Kyōraku Callum's, making instruction unnecessary.

Hakuda class continued as usual; Kyōraku Callum never shied away from fundamental training.

Kyōraku Shunsui's instructions carried significant weight at Shinigami Academy. Kyōraku Callum received preferential treatment, not only due to his noble status but also his relationship with Kyōraku Shunsui.

"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat!"

Kyōraku Callum extended his hand towards a training dummy. Orange-hued incantations appeared on his palm, imbued with intense spiritual pressure.

A orange-hued light flashed, binding the dummy. A powerful force constricted it, digging deep into its surface.

Creak!

A grinding sound came from the dummy, which then shattered under the red light's pressure!

Asami Ryōko's mouth twitched. She facepalmed.

"Kyōraku, that's Bakudō, not Hadō."

"Bakudō is for binding and restraining targets, not destroying them."
