"What a pain..." Kisuke Urahara felt helpless. "The Soul Society is completely covered in that captain's spies. It's not easy to find a secret spot to do shady things."
Many areas of the Soul Society had been covered in surveillance bacteria spread by Sora.
Ordinary Shinigami couldn't detect Sora's little tricks, but this stuff couldn't fool Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri.
They had even managed to crack the surveillance bacteria.
The cloak Urahara was wearing could perfectly block the bacteria's observation.
After passing through the tree illusion, there was a pitch-black passage.
"This place still isn't secure. If the things inside are discovered, it's all over... I need to get a batch of Gas Ore to strengthen the protection and block outside perception."
As Urahara thought, he touched the wall of the passage, and a protection spell silently disappeared.
A stone door slowly opened, and a faint light leaked through the crack, illuminating the passage.
Kisuke Urahara stepped through the stone door and walked inside.
Behind the stone door was Urahara's secret laboratory.
The lab at the Shinigami Research and Development Institute was often disturbed by Mayuri, so he moved the research he didn't want to show others here.
Only Urahara used this lab, so it wasn't very tidy. Things were piled up randomly. If an outsider came in, it wouldn't be easy to sort through it all.
Urahara walked to the center of the lab. There was a long table with several bottles and jars on it.
These containers were mostly full, holding bone fragments, minced flesh, and organ scraps soaking in a blue nutrient solution.
Urahara took a small culture dish from his pocket. After opening it, he used tweezers to pick out the item inside—a bone fragment less than half a centimeter long.
He placed the bone fragment under an instrument and observed it for a moment.
"Amazing activity... No matter how many times I see it, it's incredible..."
This piece of bone was one of Urahara's recent finds.
After the war, when Urahara was cleaning the battlefield, he found something unusual in the corpses.
This thing seemed to be part of the body, but it actually had a completely different nature from the rest of the corpse.
Urahara was very interested in this strange phenomenon. He immediately developed an instrument that could detect similar samples.
He screened the corpses from all battlefronts and found several samples with the same properties.
"Only a very few individuals have this..." Urahara fell into thought. "And these individuals were not weak... these fragments were all taken from Seated Officers."
"The locations of these abnormal parts are almost always different... But this sample, just like the previous one, was taken from a toe bone..."
Urahara's hand, which was adjusting the instrument, suddenly froze.
He got up and took one of the samples that was soaking in the nutrient solution on the table.
This sample was also a bone fragment.
Urahara placed it next to the bone fragment on the testing instrument, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
"They... actually fit together!"
These two tiny bone fragments, both less than half a centimeter long, clicked together.
It was a perfect fit, as if they were always meant to be one piece.
"Incredible! They were clearly taken from the toe bones of two different individuals!"
Urahara was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't process this baffling information.
Samples taken from two different bodies could fit together perfectly.
"Could it be..." Urahara pondered for a moment, then shook his head. He couldn't jump to conclusions so easily.
"There are still too few samples. I should collect more before making a final judgment."
He had built the instrument to detect these samples. He planned to take a walk through the Rukongai and see if he could find any similar samples.
...
Half a month later, the Wandenreich returned to a state of calm.
The collapse of the arena became a hot topic of conversation among the Quincy.
Many survivors had made it out of the arena, and some of them had seen the arrow Sora shot.
The story of Sora's actions quickly spread throughout the Wandenreich.
But Sora paid no attention to these small details. He was still in Liltotto's courtyard, teaching his disciples.
With Sora joining their side, Sōken Ishida's group and Yhwach's elite guard were in a fragile balance.
Haschwalth seemed to want to maintain order on the surface and hadn't made any new moves.
The system panel also refreshed with a new batch of training missions, so Sora was happy to continue teaching his disciples.
Meninas and Candice's military ranks had been promoted. They no longer had to perform basic patrols, so they had more time to train with their Professor.
Bang—
Sora and Meninas traded blows, and he once again blocked her side-kick.
It was as if he predicted Meninas's movements in advance. His palm strike was always slightly faster than her, blocking her kick's path.
Sora focused on different things for each disciple based on their traits.
Sora had received an advanced training mission for Meninas.
Meninas liked hand-to-hand combat and was very strong, so Sora decided to teach her Shunkō.
Shunkō would allow her to use her natural strength more perfectly.
However, to train in Shunkō, she first had to learn some related Hakuda skills.
With the 'Patient Guidance' buff, the already-talented Meninas learned very quickly. After just a few days, she was looking quite good.
Meninas saw the Professor grab her boot, so she used the momentum to turn her body and kick with her other foot.
Sora moved again, grabbed her other foot, and began to spin her rapidly.
"Ahhh!!!"
Meninas spun in the air.
After spinning her more than ten times at high speed, Sora threw her.
Meninas was dizzy and couldn't regain her balance, falling straight to the ground.
She lay on the ground in a starfish pose for a moment. Only when the dizziness faded did she stand up again.
"Every attack is blocked by the Professor in advance. It feels like he sees through all my moves."
"Your speed isn't fast enough. When you use combat techniques in front of me, all I see are flaws. Next, I'm going to teach you a move to increase your speed."
At the same time, Sora's main body arrived in the First Division's courtyard.
He and Yamamoto were in the tea room, discussing important matters.
"Is it true?"
After listening to Sora's report, Yamamoto's brow furrowed deeply.
It wasn't that he distrusted Katori Sora, but the intel he provided was just too shocking.
"It's true. I would never joke about something this big."
Sora nodded seriously.
He had come today to talk to Yamamoto about the Wandenreich.
