Chapter 4: The Soul Reaper university
The next day. -Whispers- "Have you heard?" "She's the chosen one, everyone knows it!" "She's in Year 1 Special A!" "That class huh? The one that you can have all the luxury you want." "Heard 3 others are gonna be with her." "All stop your whispering! Go back to your classes!" said a professor. "Yes professor," all students say.
"You're Skye right? The center of attention. Your classroom is that way, now off you go! Professor Kohei is waiting for you. You're the last among your friends," he said. "Yes professor," Skye said and bowed.
Classroom Year 1 Special A. "Well, the chosen one is here! Let's start! I'm Kazuya Kohei! Call me professor Kohei and I'll only allow you four to call me Professor Kohei and nothing else. Don't care if I'm Captain Kohei or Captain Commander Kohei," said Kazuya.
"Well, time to tell you a bit about the Golden Treasure 26. Well, it says here that Golden Treasure 26 is a society for all Shinigami that have graduated from Soul Reaper university. Is a society higher than the Gotei 13..." Kazuya said.
Hiroshi whispered,"What is he doing? Reading from a book? Shouldn't he know all about it since he's Ca-" Kazuya interrupted him," But this is all rubbish! Shinigami are not ruled by other Shinigami more powerful than themselves! They are only ruled by the king, which I believe you have seen Skye, and they should only bow to the king. It's the same as I've told you before. Those who abandon their missions are regarded as trash but those who abandon their friends are worst than trash!"
Hiroshi whispered,"I think I'm starting to like Professor Kohei! He has my style of doing things." "You'll never be like him," whispered Kashino. "Apologise Kashino. Everyone has an equal chance of being Captain Commander. You should not judge someone's future by how they are now. He's young like all of you are and have a lot of time to learn," Professor Kohei said. "Sorry Hiroshi," Kashino said. "It's alright," said Hiroshi. "Alright! Time to see your skills! To the kido training ground." Kazuya said.
At the Kido training grounds. "Oh! All of you are here already!" said Kazuya. "No, you're just late Professor Kohei!" said White. Kazuya looked at his watch. "Oh! Sorry to keep you waiting," he said. "It's alright," said White.
"Well, anyone knows a number 90+ kido?" Kazuya asked. "I do," said Kashino. "Do you know how to do it?" asked Kazuya. -…- "Guess not then," Kazuya answered for him.
"I do professor," said Skye. "Well, the chosen one huh? Expected nothing less. Would you like to demonstrate?" asked Kazuya. "My pleasure Professor but what shall I do it on?" asked Skye. "Me, of course" said Kazuya.
"Way of Destruction 99!" shouted Skye, pointing a finger at Kazuya. Kazuya held out both hands trying to undo it. Skye released the Way of Destruction. "Well, I'm wordless! I couldn't even block it! Good job chosen one!" said Kazuya. "My name is Skye, professor and thank you," said Skye. "Welcome Skye," said Kazuya.
"Well as you all can see the Kidos above number 89 are all very extremely dangerous so I will not teach any of them to you. I will teach you the higher level Kidos but not those over 89," said Kazuya. "Let's start our training."
"Alright, next shall be Zanpakuto techniques lesson. To the dojo," said Kazuya. "Ummm... Before that, Professor Kohei can you tell us more about the legendary Zanpakuto, Syujimaru?" asked Kashino.
"Well, it's a Zanpakuto that saved the Golden Treasure 26 in the time of crisis once, a very extremely long time ago," Kazuya said. "Saved the Golden Treasure from what?" asked Kashino. "That I do not know. As I said, it was a very long time ago," replied Kazuya. "Probably when the Captain Commander before me, Captain Commander Tadashi Ryo was alive."
"See Hiroshi! It isn't some kind of treasure chest with monsters in it!" exclaimed White. "Hiroshi, where did you hear that from?" asked Kazuya. "My parents," Hiroshi replied. "The Golden Treasure 26 WAS created to protect the Golden Treasure 26 from..." Kazuya stopped. "The 26 monsters?" asked Skye. "I'm not sure. I'll ask the king. He should know about it."
At the Dojo. "Alright! Skye, release your Zanpakuto," said Kazuya. "Did I hear correctly Professor Kohei?" asked White. "Yes, Skye release your Zanpakuto." Hiroshi said,"But that is forbidden, isn't it? Releasing it in the Soul Reaper university?" Kazuya said,"That's why I'm giving Skye permission to do so now, aren't I?" Skye shouted,"Awaken Syujimaru!"
"Skye, have you tried talking to your Zanpakuto?" asked Kazuya. "Yes, once to find out its name," Skye replied "By yourself?" asked Kazuya. "With my parents," replied Skye. "Can I have a word with them after lessons?" asked Kazuya. "T-they are d-dead," Skye stammered. Everyone started at Skye. "Oh, I see. I'm sorry for asking," Kazuya said finally.
"Have you learn about bankai?" "Professor Kohei, what's a bankai?" asked Kashino. "Well, all Zanpakutos have 3 levels. Asauchi, Shikai, and the final form, Bankai. Syujimaru is a Shikai form and the rest of your Zanpakutos are Asauchi. If you want to enter the Golden Treasure 26, your Zanpakutos must at least be at Shikai form, which is what I'm going to let you reach by the time you reach Year 2. Skye, you'll focus on bankai." All 4 shout,"Yes professor!"
"Kazuya, what brings you in my presence?" asked the king. "I would like to know why the Golden Treasure 26 was created," replied Kazuya. "Why did you get interested in that? You've never asked me this before," the king said. "Well, my student asked me about Syujimaru and then we discussed about the Golden Treasure 26," said Kazuya.
"The Golden Treasure 26 and the legendary Zanpakuto, Syujimaru, are related in some way Kazuya. Like the name Golden Treasure suggests, the society is Golden and precious like Treasure. That is only a distraction. Since you and your students have thought about it to this level, I'll tell you. You can only keep this to yourself and your pupils." Kazuya replied,"Of course my lord." "Before we start, I'll like Skye to listen to this story in detail. Call her here," the king said.
"My lord, Skye Kuchiki is here," said a messenger. "Let her in," said the King. Skye entered the room. He looked from Kazuya to the king. "I believe you have asked Kazuya about the Golden Treasure 26 and Syujimaru haven't you? I would like you to hear the exact story from my mouth. Take a sit, both of you," the king said.
