Chapter 1: Field Trip Do-Over

Hah! Sei!

This isn't enough. I must become stronger!

Little Byakuya, training hard as always.

That voice! You dare appear before me, you evil cat-monster!

You need to watch your language.

If you've come to interrupt my training, go away immediately.

You call this training? It's not working if what I saw was really all you can do.

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't tell me you already forgot about that tour Jushiro took you on around the Seireitei.

Of course I haven't! It was on that day that I swore I would change the 13 Court Guard Squads with my own two hands!

Oh, is that so? I thought I saw Little Byakuya stunned at every lieutenant he came across. Yet, here you are making this grand resolve.

What?! I was not stunned by them!

Oh? If you insist, how about we take another field trip? Your goal is to remain poised and calm until the very end.

I'll guide you around this time.

But if you don't think you can do it, I won't force you.

Fine, I accept.

Yoruichi Shihoin, I will make you regret that you underestimated me!

Hoh, let's see it then.

Kenseeeei? Wahhhh! Where did you go?!

Oh, look who's there. Aren't you going to go greet her, little Byakuya?

I was just about to!

Um, I would like to thank you and Captain Muguruma for taking care of me the other day.

Huh? Are you here to see Kensei? Wait, you've been to our squad before?

I guess she doesn't even remember you.

Grh...

He's sort of like an apprentice of mine. Your captain gave him a training session the other day.

I am not your apprentice!

Oh, that's cool. But, uh, Kensei's not here right now.

I got bored, so I'm looking for him too.

You said you were bored? That's perfect! Do you have some time to be his opponent in a training fight?

Okay! Let's have some fun!

*Pant* *Pant* Her fighting style is so weird. It's difficult trying to figure out her next move.

Mm! These footsteps! It's Kensei!

What the?! Mashiro, stop that!

Oh, welcome back. Hope you don't mind we're here.

Yoruichi? What are you doing here? Hey, aren't you...?

Thank you for having me in your care the other day.

It's not like I did much for you anyway. So, it looks like you had a chance to fight Mashiro today.

Boooo! Where were you this whole time?! I went looking all over the place for you!

I'm super hungry! I have, like, no energy left! And it's all because you didn't come back fast enough!

She was hungry and had no energy?

I struggled to fight against her, and she wasn't even using all her powers?
