After listing researching Time energy as part of his daily training, Tatsuma stopped what he was doing and looked to the side.
"Is something wrong?"
"I came to check on your condition."
Rias walked over from not far away and looked at Gasper, who had already started to roll his eyes.
Rias asked, "Isn't the training intensity too high?"
Tatsuma replied, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. With Senjutsu and Spiritual Healing Bracelet, even if he maintains overloaded training, he won't have any lingering effects."
In fact, compared to training from scratch, imbuing a trait is the fastest way to become stronger.
However, unlike Tatsuma, ordinary people need some time to adapt to the newly increased power after activating their potential.
Gasper's situation is rather special. As the reincarnation of Balor's consciousness fragment, he has an extremely vast amount of power sleeping within him. Coupled with Aeon Balor, once fully activated, his power will reach an astonishing level.
Gasper can't even control his current power, and if he were to gain such a vast amount of power all at once, he would inevitably go further berserk and lose control.
For the sake of the future, Tatsuma decided to have Gasper start from scratch and temper his will little by little.
It wouldn't be too late to grant him a trait and unlock all of his traits once he could control his Sacred Gear.
"It seems I was overthinking. You've prepared very thoroughly."
Rias didn't ask any more questions, but changed the topic, "I just received a special request from my brother. The client is a high-level Shinigami. He asked me if you were interested."
"Shinigami? The Realm of the Dead?" Tatsuma's eyes lit up, and he became interested.
However, Rias shook her head at this. "It's not a Shinigami under Hades, but a Shinigami from the Soul Society side."
"???"
Did he just have auditory hallucinations?
"Speaking of which, Tatsuma, you haven't seemed to have learned this kind of knowledge yet."
Rias seemed to remember something and began to educate Tatsuma.
"Hades, King Yama, Michael of Heaven... Depending on their beliefs during life, human souls have many destinations after death."
"However, apart from these places that appear in myths and are well-known to most humans, there are actually some forces that also take in souls and help with reincarnation."
"The Soul Society I just mentioned is a typical example."
"Led by the Soul King from another world, the Shinigami of Soul Society fight using Kido and Zanpakuto. Their strength is not inferior to any mythological force."
"It is said that the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, even possesses the power to destroy the world when he uses his full strength, which is terrifying."
That is indeed quite terrifying.
Tatsuma rubbed his forehead, his expression complex.
Because he had been busy training before, he hadn't invested much time in cultural aspects. The knowledge he currently possessed was basically learned during classes with Sona.
Sona hadn't mentioned Hollows or Shinigami, so Tatsuma hadn't learned about this aspect. He only learned today that this world actually mixed the Bleach worldview.
Tatsuma asked, "Rias, can you help me organize the information on the various forces?"
Rias nodded. "I can, but why are you suddenly interested in this?"
Tatsuma replied, "Nothing, I just feel that my understanding of this world is not enough."
Rias, who had misunderstood, spoke to comfort him, "There's no need to be anxious about that, your learning speed is already very fast."
However, after chatting for a few sentences, she still agreed to Tatsuma's request and helped organize the information.
"Alright, let's continue talking about the request." Rias took out a piece of parchment from her bosom.
"The content of this request is not complicated. Simply put, it's to go to Karakura Town to find a Shinigami."
Karakura Town? Shinigami?
Tatsuma thoughtfully stroked his chin.
"What is the target's name?"
"Rukia Kuchiki, she lost contact with the Soul Society side two days ago."
Rias handed the parchment to Tatsuma and pointed to the bottom right corner.
"The client is a Captain of the Gotei 13, Jushiro Ukitake."
"Interesting, I'll take this request."
Tatsuma accepted the parchment and arrived at Karakura Town through a teleportation array.
However, just as he was about to investigate the location of Ichigo's house, an ominous aura suddenly came from afar.
"It seems I don't need to specifically look for it."
Looking towards the west side of Karakura Town, Tatsuma's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, Orihime Inoue's house.
As usual, after school, Orihime brought her friend Tatsuki Arisawa back home for a gathering.
However, just as the two were enjoying dessert, a bang sounded.
"Huh? What happened?!"
Orihime and Tatsuki were startled and looked in the direction the sound came from.
The next second, a wall covered in cracks with a huge gap in the center came into view.
"Why is the wall broken?" Orihime tilted her head, feeling a bit confused.
"I don't know, but this gap looks like something smashed it." Tatsuki frowned slightly, also feeling confused about this suddenly collapsed wall.
Just then, an invisible force landed on her abdomen.
Tatsuki's face changed, and she flew backward, hitting the wall and falling into a coma.
"Tatsuki?!" Orihime let out an exclamation.
The next second, she was also hit by an invisible force, and her body flew into the air. The scenery in her vision began to spin, and she let out a muffled groan.
When everything returned to calm, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.
"What's going on?"
Looking at herself lying on the ground, a hint of confusion flashed in Orihime's eyes.
However, before she could think about what had happened, a roar sounded in the room.
"Orihime!"
"?!"
Orihime raised her head and only then discovered that a giant monster was standing in front of her at some point. Her body trembled, and she retreated to the corner.
After seeing this scene, the monster seemed to be stimulated by something and roared again.
"Orihime! Have you already not recognized your brother?!!"
"Brother?" Orihime's mind went blank.
