There were so many possibilities that he could think of, and Aizen felt more and more delighted.

He originally thought that this Soul Society, this world, had become so corrupt that everyone prostrated themselves at the feet of the nobles, with not even one person daring to resist. However, he did not expect that not long after entering school, he would discover someone with different ideas.

Even though the other party's purpose is still unclear, it is enough for Aizen to feel happy just to know that in this almost completely solidified world, there are still people trying to make changes.

Moreover, although the intruder is a brainless idiot, the person who is remotely controlling the situation behind the scenes is obviously not. The other person has a very peculiar perspective on the problem. For the same thing, the other person can always see it from a different angle and give explanations that he finds novel.

This made Aizen even happier.

After all, even though he had only been in the Maou Spiritual Academy for a few days, Aizen had already used his excellent acting skills to have full conversations with most of the teachers and some senior students.

Although he felt a little regretful, Aizen had to admit that his expectation of "being able to easily find a large number of excellent and like-minded people as long as he entered the Death God School" had been completely dashed.

The teachers have sufficient knowledge, but their thinking is more rigid than each other. Most of the students in the upper grades have no knowledge reserves and their thinking is extremely rigid. Their heads are filled with various slogans and rules that have been instilled in them, and they have no ability to think independently at all.

Looking around, we clearly see different individuals, but their thinking seems to be cut from the same mold, they only know loyalty, protection, and fighting.

Aizen was quite disappointed with this.

Now that he has finally discovered an interesting idea, how can he not feel happy?

"So, do we dig them out and kill them?"

Aizen appreciates interesting thinking and has a great affection for the person behind the scenes whom he has not met yet, but this does not prevent him from wanting to exclude the other party, just like he would appreciate the beauty of a flower, but it does not prevent him from picking the flower and playing with it in his hands.

Rather, it was precisely because of the beauty of the flowers that he wanted to pick them even more. As for the boring weeds, even if they grew right at his feet, he had no interest in deliberately trampling them as long as they did not block his way.

"...No, it's rare to have some fun in boring school life, so I'd better keep it for a while."

After thinking for a moment, Aizen denied his previous idea. The life plan he set for himself was to be excellent and not be lost in the crowd, but also not be too conspicuous and be stared at by everyone.

Therefore, he is destined not to graduate early. Like a traditional good student, he will go through the six years in school step by step and graduate with excellent grades.

Therefore, during these six years, it is also a good pastime to have an interesting object of observation that may be useful in the future.

Moreover, if he plans to do something in the future that is not in compliance with regulations and may damage his good image, the "sacrifice" of his close friends during his student days may add a legitimacy to his actions under the name of revenge. As long as it is handled properly, it will not only not damage his own image, but also give himself a humane label.

"It's such a happy decision."

Having made the decision, Aizen found a piece of white paper and thoughtfully wrote down some square and gentle words that seemed to reflect his character and personality.

The next morning, the two people who lived opposite each other opened their dormitory doors at the same time, smiled at each other, greeted each other briefly, and walked towards the cafeteria together, leaving the classmates behind them marveling at their understanding and lamenting that these two people had extraordinary tacit understanding and were simply natural friends.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they got their breakfast and sat down by the window. Just as Hayato was about to start eating, he saw Aizen pull out a neatly folded piece of white paper from his pocket and push it in front of him with a chuckle.

Without Hayato asking, Aizen explained with a smile.

"This is the list of books I made for you, Hayato-kun. I noticed that you read a lot of different books. Sometimes you would read a book with more advanced content first, and then go back to read more basic things..."

As he spoke, the gentle young man seemed to feel that he had spoken too bluntly and was worried that he had hurt his friend's feelings, so he quickly waved his hand and added at a slightly faster pace.

"I'm not saying that what you did is not right, Hayato-kun. It's just that if you study in order, you should be able to understand the knowledge better. This list of books is the most suitable basic books for self-study that I summarized after consulting Momotani-senpai. It would be better to start with these books."

"Aizen, you're such an interesting person. You're obviously thinking about me, but you still look like you're worried that I'll be angry. Well, thank you for your kindness anyway. I'll accept the list of books."

Hayato smiled and put the list of books into his pocket, not really caring about it. Anyway, his task during this period was to read as many books as possible and then read them to the Hollows in Hueco Mundo. As for which book to read first and which one to read later, those were all unimportant matters.

Seeing Hayato accept the list of books, Aizen seemed to be relieved. A gentle smile returned to his face. He began to chat with Hayato while enjoying his breakfast.

The person behind Hayato was most likely learning the knowledge from books through Hayato. In that case, Aizen simply made a list of the books he had read yesterday and recommended them to Hayato.

In this school, he couldn't find anyone with whom he could discuss the contents of the book. He hoped that the person behind Hayato would be able to follow his train of thought after reading the book and have a good discussion with him.

Chapter 137 Five Years

"Hey, look, that's Aizen-senpai and Hayato-senpai!"

"Where, where? Let me see!"

"No way? Those two seniors are here as first-year students?"

"I saw it, I saw it! They went to the third shift!"

A group of first-year students were crowded in the corridor, looking at the two conspicuous figures with longing eyes.

Among them, the taller one had powerful muscles all over his body, and unlike ordinary students who wore school uniforms properly, I don’t know if it was to show his personality or he simply didn’t like the school uniform that was a bit tight for him, the front of his school uniform was casually open, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles.

In addition, there is an extremely conspicuous black collar around his neck. Wearing this kind of thing around a human's neck should have a sense of humiliation, but because of his naturally ferocious face, it instead has a sense of self-restraint, a sense of restraining the evil thoughts in one's heart.

Next to him was a slightly shorter man. Although the two walked side by side and seemed to have a close relationship, he and his companion were almost complete opposites. Not only was his school uniform neat and tidy, but he also had a heartwarming smile on his face at all times, and seemed to be full of kindness towards everyone.

It should have been full of contradictions for two people like these who are almost completely opposite to walk together, but the atmosphere between them was so harmonious that when people watching, they even felt that no one could get in the way of them.

Hayato glanced at the group of first-year students and tugged at the collar around his neck impatiently.

In the second year, because there were more practical classes, the clothes might be messed up in the battle, exposing the bone fragments on the neck that represented the identity of an Arrancar. At Gu Shi's suggestion, Hayato got a piece of black leather to wrap it around the neck, disguising it as an ordinary collar, and deliberately exposed his chest to show the disguised collar to everyone.

In the beginning, his peculiar "outfit" attracted the attention of his classmates, but it didn't take long for everyone to get used to his eccentricity and completely ignored the "collar" around his neck. No one even suspected what secrets were hidden in the collar.

After five years of being classmates, the two were already familiar with each other's habits. When Aizen saw Hayato pulling at his collar, he knew that he was getting annoyed, and he patted his arm gently.

"Don't worry Hayato, those students have no ill intentions, they just want to see you, the legendary star student."

Aizen's words were not exaggeration, Hayato could indeed be considered a star student.

After all, a student who was born with insufficient control over his spiritual power and couldn't even use the ghost way normally should have quickly sunk to the bottom of the school. However, relying on his outstanding fighting talent and natural strength, he challenged the sixth-grade graduates one after another in the third grade without losing a single time. His experience was legendary in the eyes of the students.

Many students with poor talents would use Hayato to encourage themselves, telling themselves that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to become as strong as Hayato. These students would normally defend Hayato with a fanatical attitude and would not allow anyone to deny Hayato, as if that would be denying their hopes and future.

Of course, there is another important reason why Hayato is so eye-catching - he is the only close friend of the star student Aizen Sosuke.

Everyone said that although Aizen was always smiling at everyone and was friends with many students in the same grade or even lower grades, his only close friend was Hayato, because only in front of Hayato would Aizen, who had a peaceful smile, occasionally laugh out loud and inappropriately, or argue fiercely.

Whenever the two of them walked together, they always attracted the attention of the students around them. On the one hand, everyone envied their talents and achievements, but more importantly, they admired their enviable friendship.

Hayato, who was comforted by Aizen, snorted coldly. Five years of school life had made his personality much calmer. He didn't really explode, but just said it with some dissatisfaction.

"I know they mean no harm, I just feel a little... uneasy."

"Okay, relax a little. It's just that your lost sister suddenly came to your house. Class 3 of Grade 1 is here. Go in and look for her."

Aizen shook his head in amusement, patted Hayato on the shoulder, and pushed him into Class 3 of the first grade.

In the classroom of Class Three, Grade One, a group of freshmen who had just enrolled were looking at the two seniors with burning eyes. In the back row seat by the window, a girl with a cold expression and a silver cat-ear headband also looked over. After meeting Hayato's eyes, she stood up calmly and raised her hand to greet him.

"Hayato-kun, nice to see you again."

"...Son of God, is it really you? I didn't expect you to be still alive!"

Hayato seemed very excited and took a few steps forward, hugging the girl tightly in his arms. He stroked her long gray hair with his right hand as if to comfort her, and gently brushed the silver cat ear headband. He confirmed that the headband contained the same bone component as his own collar, and confirmed the other person's identity. Then he let go of his hand and turned to look at Aizen.

"Let me introduce you, Sosuke. This is my sister, Seiko. Seiko, this is my best friend, Aizen Sosuke."

After a brief introduction of both parties, Hayato gave Aizen a slightly apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Sosuke, can you help me get a leave for the next practical class? Seiko and I haven't seen each other for many years. We must have a good chat."

The considerate and gentle Aizen certainly would not refuse his friend's request, so he smiled and nodded.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will explain it clearly to the teacher."

After saying a few more words of thanks, Hayato pulled his "sister" and rushed out of the classroom impatiently, running towards the woods behind the library.

The library was quiet to begin with, and the woods behind the library were even quieter to the point of being frightening. When one walked deeper into the woods, one could not even hear the chirping of insects or birds. Only when he reached the deepest part of the woods did Hayabusa let go of his "sister's" hand, and his expression became unhappy and ferocious.

"You should be the cat that was captured with me, right? If you came to Soul Society undercover, just go undercover, why are you pretending to be my sister?"

Hayato's dissatisfaction is understandable. Being an undercover agent is not like a group outing. Even if they want to cooperate, they should contact each other privately. How can they involve their public identities?

If this Holy Son is exposed in the future, Hayato, as his nominal brother, will definitely be suspected.

The risk of being exposed and dying suddenly increased, how could Hayato not feel uneasy and angry.

However, the Holy Child who was being questioned was not at all frightened by Hayato's ferocious expression. She curled her lips in disdain and retorted without any hesitation.

"You ask me why!? How should I know why!? If you have the guts, just ask them!"

As he spoke, the Son pointed to his head.

They all have fragments of Lilinette's soul in their souls, and can contact Lilinette at any time. If Hayato really wants to question her, why not just ask those hollows? To get angry at her, isn't that just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

Hayato's expression froze slightly, but he soon glared again, intending to give this junior a good warning so that he wouldn't really become a burden to him.

"Listen carefully, you..."

Before he could finish his warning, Hayato felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest. The sharp tip of a knife pierced through his chest and chopped down with force, completely splitting his body below the chest in two.

In the shadows, the girl with a calm expression slowly put away her knife.

"Of course it's to clean you up, idiot. In just five years, you actually treated Aizen Sosuke as a close friend and wanted to be honest with him about your identity. As a result, we had no choice but to come to Soul Society to clean up your mess."

Chapter 138: The Precious Qualities of a Warrior

"…You just killed him like that!? What should I do? So many people saw me coming out with him!"

The Son of Heaven watched Hayato split into two halves in front of him, his mind went blank. He was stunned for a long while before he screamed in disbelief.

However, although her eyes were red with excitement, the Holy Son did not dare to retaliate. She was just a small Hollow, and the guy opposite her was a real big Hollow. If he really attacked her, she would probably not be able to withstand even one move and would be killed.

The Broken Sword holding the long sword did not care about the excitement of the Holy Son. He turned around and chopped Hayato's head in half with a sword. After making sure that he would not come back to life, he spoke slowly.

"What are you afraid of? We can just open the Black Chamber and return to Hueco Mundo. With our speed, by the time those students and teachers sense the fluctuations of the Black Chamber and rush over, we will have already arrived in Hueco Mundo."

"Hmm? I don't have to go on undercover missions anymore?"

Upon hearing that there was no life-threatening danger, the Son of Heaven immediately calmed down. He was just a little worried that he would be punished by Gu Shi and the others if he returned to Hueco Mundo.

"Your mission wasn't to lurk. If you lure him out, your mission will be over."

After explaining calmly, the Arrancar girl turned her wrist slightly and placed the long sword across the Holy Son.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and lick it."

The Holy Son was stunned and couldn't help but blink. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his ears, or if the seemingly cold guy in front of him was actually a sadist who simply wanted to humiliate her.

"Don't just stand there, move quickly."

Seeing that the Holy Son was slow to move, the Arrancar frowned slightly, raised her voice a little, and urged him impatiently.

"Nothing related to the Arrancar can be left in Soul Society. The bodies must be taken back, and no blood can be left behind. Hurry and lick the blood off the knife, and eat up all the dirt and trees around that are stained with blood!"

For Xu, the best way to destroy the body is undoubtedly to eat it directly.

This time, the Son of God finally understood what the other party meant. He nodded, opened his mouth without hesitation, took the back of the long knife in his mouth, slid along the blade, and swallowed all the blood on the knife into his stomach. Then he bent down decisively and began to swallow the blood-stained grass, soil, bark, and leaves around him in big gulps.
