Rukia's expression changed slightly. She immediately stood up from her seat, grabbed Ichigo's hand, and ran outside.

"Is it another illusion?"

Despite his reluctance, Ichigo followed Rukia out of the classroom. However, after leaving the classroom, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and said to Orihime and Tatsuki, "Orihime, Tatsuki, please ask for leave for me and Ms. Misaki. There's a small problem at home, and I have something very important to do! Thanks~"

After Ichigo finished speaking, without waiting for Tatsuki and Orihime's reply, he turned and disappeared into the corridor.

"it is good……"

Ichigo's words startled Orihime and Tatsuki. Although they both had many questions for Ichigo, they nodded slightly and agreed to his request.

It was shortly after Ichigo and Rukia left the classroom that Orihime suddenly saw Ichigo Kurosaki wearing a black kimono and carrying a huge Zanpakuto on his back through the window...

"what……"

Orihime stared wide-eyed at Ichigo's attire.

"Orihime, what are you looking at?"

Perhaps because Ryuki and the others had not yet encountered Hollows, they were unable to see the spirits at this moment, and therefore did not see Kurosaki Ichigo wearing the Shinigami uniform.

"No, it's nothing."

Upon hearing this, Orihime immediately shook her head, suppressing the doubts in her heart.

"That's strange, why is Rukia the only one left? Where's Ichigo?!"

Tatsuki, unsuspecting, followed Orihime's gaze to the window, then frowned deeply, for she only saw Rukia.

"Eh?!"

Orihime was stunned for a moment, and then her doubts deepened.

Am I the only one who can see this?

Orihime murmured to herself.

the other side……

As an apprentice Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki, under Rukia Kuchiki's guidance, effortlessly slew the Hollow he was targeting. Wielding his massive Zanpakuto, he disdainfully remarked, "These Hollows are nothing special; they're just at the level where I can kill them instantly!"

"You've only been a Shinigami for a short time, you have no idea how powerful Hollows are. Don't think you're invincible just because you killed a few weaklings! If you encounter a powerful Hollow and still have this kind of mentality, you'll be dead!"

Rukia looked at the proud Ichigo Kurosaki and immediately warned him.

Rukia, having graduated from the 'Spiritual Arts Academy,' naturally knew the ranks of Hollows. These Hollows who wandered in the 'Human World' and were killed by Ichigo were merely the lowest-ranking Hollows! Compared to the powerful beings in the 'Hollow Planet Chronicles' compiled by Kuruyashiki, they were nothing but minions.

Is it as mysterious as you make it out to be?

Ichigo seemed somewhat skeptical upon hearing this.

"You guy..."

Rukia naturally saw the disbelief in Ichigo's eyes. She raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Ichigo angrily as she spoke.

“That guy is right! Kurosaki Ichigo…”

“Voids are not easy to deal with. Those who underestimate voids will eventually be killed by them and become their food.”

Just as Rukia was wondering how to explain to Ichigo, a cold voice suddenly rang out from above Ichigo and Rukia.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it..."

"Ichigo, you've finally figured it out..."

Rukia nodded repeatedly upon hearing this; for the first time, she had found a kindred spirit.

However, the next second, Rukia noticed something was amiss.

These words didn't seem to come from Ichigo Kurosaki. If it wasn't Ichigo, then who said them? Rukia thought to herself, looking up in the direction of the voice. There she saw a boy wearing the uniform of Karakura Town First High School, with glasses perched on his nose, silently watching Rukia and Ichigo. The one who had spoken was none other than him…

"You are?!"

Rukia looked up at the boy in front of her and asked in confusion.

"My name is Ishida Uryu, and I am a Quincy!"

The boy was Ishida Uryu, who had come because he sensed the void. He gently adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly to Rukia.

"A Quincy?!"

Rukia's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing Ishida Uryu's words.

As a top student at the 'Spirit Arts Academy', Rukia had naturally heard rumors about Quincy. She was wary of the uninvited boy who claimed to be a Quincy.

"Who are you? I don't understand what you're saying..."

Unlike the surprised Rukia, Kurosaki Ichigo was quite calm. He looked at Ishida Uryu floating above his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you really should go to the hospital to get your ears checked."

After hearing what Kurosaki Ichigo said, Ishida Uryu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he spoke with a displeased expression.

"You actually know my name? That's really surprising..."

Ichigo exclaimed in surprise after hearing Uryu repeatedly pronounce his name.

"We're from the same school!"

Veins bulged on Yulong's forehead. He didn't know why, but Kurosaki Ichigo always managed to make everyone angry.

"Roar!"

Just as Ichigo and Uryu were talking, another white Hollow roared and charged toward the stunned Ichigo and Rukia.

"Oops!"

Ichigo and Rukia's expressions changed upon hearing the sound. They quickly turned around, intending to fight the newcomer, but it was too late. The Hollow had already arrived in front of Ichigo and Rukia.

No matter how you look at it, Ichigo and Rukia were too late to retaliate...

"Shhh!!"

At this crucial moment, Ishida Uryu, who stood alone in the sky, his foothold made of spirit particles, and who called himself a Quincy, drew his spirit particle bow.

With a whooshing sound, an incredibly powerful Holy Annihilation Arrow pierced through the air and shot straight through the Void's head.

"bump!"

With a deafening roar, the Void, whose head had been pierced by Rain Dragon's arrow, transformed into countless spiritual particles before dissipating into the air.

"So fast!"

It was precisely the instant that Uryu drew his bow and easily destroyed the Hollow that had ambushed Ichigo and Rukia that Ichigo finally reacted. His pupils contracted slightly, and he praised them from the bottom of his heart.

"Fast? Ichigo Kurosaki, you call this kind of arrow fast?"

"Compared to my grandfather's arrows, my arrows are far too immature!"

"However, even such an immature arrow is difficult for you to catch with your current dynamic nerves! So, Kurosaki Ichigo, do you understand? You are still too immature, at least in front of me, you are still far from being able to catch it!"

Yulong gently pushed up his glasses, uttered a few arrogant words, and then disappeared triumphantly into the air.

"What's with this guy's arrogance?!"

Ichigo said with dissatisfaction after seeing Uryu leave.

"A Quincy?!"

"Ichigo, you go back to school first! I have some things to investigate..."

Rukia watched Ishida Uryu walk away, muttering to herself as she headed towards the shop where Urahara Kisuke worked.

"what?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Rukia and Ishida Uryu, who had abandoned him without permission, and his eyelids twitched slightly. He said with great displeasure, "I've really had enough. One after another, you're talking to yourselves in front of me. It's disgusting!"

However, despite Ichigo Kurosaki's long-winded rambling, he still headed towards his school. He returned to the bathroom where he had stored his physical body before he left. After his spirit and body merged into one, Ichigo Kurosaki went back to his classroom on his own.

"Oh! Ichigo, you're back! Where's Rukia?!"

After Ichigo returned to the classroom, his classmates surrounded him and asked him questions.

"I don't know! Don't ask me..."

Ichigo Kurosaki said this with some displeasure.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you haven't been abandoned, have you?!"

The classmates looked at Ichigo with smiles and asked him a question.

"Are you kidding me?! I'd be left behind?!"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo's expression changed slightly.

Lies only bring laughter, the truth is the sharpest weapon!

"Hahaha……"

The classmates burst into laughter at Ichigo's expression. Clearly, they all knew what had happened between Ichigo and Rukia.

"Humph~"

Meanwhile, Ichigo sat by the window, looking out the window with a bored expression.

Ichigo discovered that he could only find a little peace when he returned to his seat! Perhaps this was the special blessing brought about by the hometown of the King of the Back Window?

"Kurosaki-san, I saw you earlier, you seemed to be wearing a black kimono and carrying a huge double-edged sword, running out of the school playground..."

"Kurosaki-san, are you sure you didn't do anything dangerous?!"

Just as Ichigo was looking out the window and thinking about the Quincy, a soft voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Orihime? Can you see me just now?"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo's expression changed slightly. He looked at the gentle girl beside him who had spoken, Orihime Inoue, and asked her in confusion.

"Yes! I can see it~"

After hearing Ichigo's words, Orihime nodded vigorously.

"Kurosaki looks really cool in a kimono!"

Immediately afterward, Orihime seemed to realize something, her pretty face slightly flushed as she added.

Before Ichigo could speak, Orihime added, "But, Kurosaki-kun wielding that big sword is really dangerous! Kurosaki-kun, you must be careful."

"You really could see me just now."
