[First time completing an Advanced Swordsmanship Class lesson. Obtained extra reward.]
[Obtained random ability—Kenshin Tsūmei.]
[Obtained 10,000 general experience points for basic abilities.]
[Random skill proficiency level +2.]
[Obtained 3 disciple binding slots.]
The extra reward for the first advanced swordsmanship class was even greater than the one from the first regular class.
Sora had once again obtained a new ability. He focused his attention on the "Kenshin Tsūmei" ability and immediately saw more information.
[Kenshin Tsūmei (Clear Sword Heart): You have comprehended the true meaning of the way of the sword. You can always find the best way to strike. During combat, your Zanjutsu level is +5. When you learn a new sword technique, you can easily grasp the basics.]
The effect of the "Kenshin Tsūmei" ability was truly surprising. The Zanjutsu level increase was an additional bonus! In other words—the higher Sora's base Zanjutsu level, the more significant the boost from the ability would be. Moreover, it would make it easier for him to learn new techniques.
The reward also included 10,000 general experience points. Sora planned to allocate 9,000 of these to Spiritual Pressure and the remaining 1,000 to Shunpo. The experience required increased every five levels; his Spiritual Pressure was level 55, and it now required 3,000 experience points to level up. After allocating the experience, his Spiritual Pressure level increased from 55 to 58. The 1,000 points were just enough to raise his Shunpo by two levels, from 23 to 25.
Sora looked at his basic panel:
Basic Abilities: Spiritual Pressure LV 58, Zanjutsu LV 54, Kidō LV 20, Hakuda LV 11, Shunpo LV 25
This reward also included a random skill proficiency bonus. This time, the skill proficiency level was added to Kaidō, which reached the Grandmaster level!
Countless experiences of using Kaidō suddenly flooded his mind, as if he had spent one or two hundred years constantly using it to treat patients and conduct research. Kaidō involved a lot of medical knowledge, and this upgrade to Grandmaster brought far more memories than his sword technique upgrades. The vast amount of information left Sora in a daze for a long time.
With this level of Kaidō, he could even serve as the lieutenant of Squad 4. Becoming captain was out of the question, of course, because he still couldn't defeat Unohana.
In addition, Sora had obtained 3 more disciple binding slots, confirming that there was a way to increase the number of slots. Now he didn't have to worry about not having enough to take on new disciples. He felt this reward far exceeded previous ones, a result of the rare opportunity to teach an advanced class usually reserved for a department head.
"I received 3 disciple binding slots from this. Would teaching other advanced classes give such generous rewards?" Sora thought to himself. If so, teaching advanced Kidō, Shunpo, Hakuda, and Kaidō could also yield more slots. However, he could only think about it for now; those classes, like this one, required a department head to teach.
Sora recalled the Kaidō memories he had just received, trying to find a way to cure Batsunsai. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a way to heal a damaged Spiritual Core. However, he now fully understood Unohana's treatment plan for suppressing the injury. By comparing it, Sora felt his medical skills were already very close to hers, likely on the same tier, though she had more experience. He speculated that his Grandmaster level of Kaidō was fully sufficient to serve as the lieutenant of Squad 4.
"Perhaps when Kaidō reaches the Transcendent level, there will be a way to heal a damaged Spiritual Core," he thought.
"Katori-kun."
A familiar, gentle, and melodious voice reached his ears, pulling him back to reality. Sora was slightly taken aback when he saw the gentle beauty before him. He had just been comparing his Kaidō level with Unohana's; he hadn't expected to see her so soon.
"Katori-kun?"
"Captain Unohana, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Headmaster Kotetsu invited me to talk to the students about the application of Kaidō. You're already teaching the advanced swordsmanship class?" Unohana pointed to the plaque on the swordsmanship room. She was passing by and had heard students practicing inside, and was surprised to see Katori Sora.
The matter of Sora substituting was an internal department arrangement and hadn't spread outside the academy, so Unohana did not know about it.
"Head Ashido is participating in the Hueco Mundo expedition and can't teach the class, so I'm substituting for now," Sora explained with a smile.
"I see. But being able to teach the advanced class means your teaching ability has been recognized," Unohana said, very surprised.
"It was just a coincidence," Sora said modestly.
"I'm going to give my lecture now. It's been a while since I've guided you in Kaidō. You should come and listen too. I might need you to lend a hand later. I'm going to talk about an advanced Kaidō technique today. If any student can understand it, they might be a future seated officer of Squad 4," Unohana said warmly.
Sora had learned Kaidō from Unohana. Previously, when he asked Batsunsai if she could teach him, she had taken him to Squad 4, where he studied with Unohana for a period of time. However, Unohana believed that Sora was the successor of the Katori Style, so she only taught him Kaidō and did not take him as a disciple, nor did she let him call her Professor.
Sora naturally would not refuse her suggestion and followed her to the advanced Kaidō classroom.
