Chapter 620: Hinamoriās worries.
Roja moved from the dormitory of the Shinigami academy to the Kido corpsā living area, which was quite shabby compared to the Gotei 13 or even normal houses.
Rojaās room was quite simple. He didnāt have anything in his Dormitory, so he directly moved here without carrying anything except some books.
āThis Bakudo is quite hard. I didnāt imagine the Bakudo No.95 to be so hard to grasp, even though it was simply using the full chantā¦ā
Roja closed his eyes as he controlled his Spiritual Pressureās fluctuation.
After learning the 94th and 95th Bakudo, Roja could use the 94th without chant, but he still struggled with the 95th. Although he didnāt try yet, he was sure that his success rate was currently 80%.
āItās almost time.ā
After calming down his spiritual pressure, Roja didnāt continue practicing. Instead, he stood up directly, and his eyes flashed slightly while he walked toward the door.
However, as he opened the door, he saw someone panting in front of him.
āLilā Shiro, why are you here?ā
Roja was surprised to see Hinamori and directly smiled at her. Hinamori was with him when he first moved here, so she obviously knew where he lived.
Hinamori relaxed when she saw Roja, and finally, after catching her breath, she said: āI⦠I didnāt think you would challenge the Kido Grand Chiefā¦ā
When she heard that Roja challenged the Grand Chief, she was surprised and heard many people saying that he would lose. Most of those people didnāt like Roja very much, but she was still nervous and anxious about it.
Roja hearing this blinked a few times before saying: āI didnāt think the news would spread so fast, even you know now, but do you believe that I would challenge him hastily without any reason?ā
Hinamori opened her mouth but could speak. When she thought about it, with Rojaās personality, he wasnāt the type to do something, so hast to gain rank.
After thinking about it, Hinamori still couldnāt find the reason.
āThen, why did youā¦ā
āThis matter is also related to you.ā
Roja looked at Hinamori and smiled and explained to her about how the Kido Grand Chief was the reason behind the gate collapsing accident.
Hinamori was maddened immediately as her small face looked really annoyed as she said: āHow can that fellow do something like that, thatās really cheap.ā
āWith someone like that holding the title of Kido Grand Chief, itās no wonder that the Kido Corps are declining.ā
Regarding someone who wants to harm Roja, Hinamori would respond with great hostility. She would hate him with all her being. It wasnāt because she was involved as well, but it was because the target was Roja.
Roja smiled confidently and said: āSince the Kido Grand Chief wants to get rid of me, I might as well fight him and end the dispute here before any further accidents that could involve you happens, which is something Iām not willing to forgive.ā
Hinamori nodded, but she still looked anxious and worried about Roja. She didnāt say anything as she knew from Rojaās explanation that this was an unavoidable fight.
If Roja didnāt challenge him now, the Kido Grand Chief would just scheme to dispose of Roja secretly.
āWill you be able to winā¦ā
Recalling that people werenāt in favor of Rojaās winning the fight, Hinamori asked in worry.
Roja laughed and patted her head and said: āDonāt worry, The Kido Grand Chief is nothing for me; he will be chopped like a melon.ā
If someone who just graduated said these words, anyone would think of him as an arrogant person, but Hinamori, hearing Rojaās words, felt her worries vanishing directly.
She didnāt say anything except for encouragement. As Roja moved to the Duel location, Hinamori just silently followed him.
The duel location was where Rukia would have been executed in the original story.
Itās named the SÅkyoku hill, after the giant Halberd SÅkyoku that is said to have powers compared to a captain.
The Head Captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto was first to arrive. He paid close attention to this challenge. The Duel wonāt start without him there as per the rules.
His vice-captain Sasakibe stood like he always did Beside Yamamoto.
The Kido Corps officers were scattered all around the place while the Kido Grand Chief stood in his side, waiting for the duel to start.
āWe need at least six captains here⦠I donāt know which six would come.ā
A Kido Corps Officer whispered.
Soon, a figure wearing a captainās Haori arrived and stood beside Yamamoto firmly.
The captain of the sixth Division, Kuchiki Byakuya.
He may not be interested in the duel, but he is here to observe as these are the customs. Also, he was observing on behalf of the nobles.
The second captain to arrive was unexpectedly Mayuri, the captain of the 12th division.
Byakuya just swept a glance at Mayuri with a calm expression before he looked forward again.
