Chapter 2

Now that I think about it, we've actually never fought against each other.

Yeah, now that you mention it.

I've only been helped by you.

Alright. How about I test you myself to see how much better you've gotten?

Wait, what?

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

No need to be humble.

Don't think I'll go easy on you, Ichigo. Prepare to break at least one or two bones.

You did quite well. Much better than I anticipated.

Phew. You really are strong, huh?

I still can't lose to a kid like you.

You should prepare yourself for what's coming up. Let your guard down and you might lose your life.

That sounds pretty dangerous.

So, who are these people who wanted to fight me?

The captains of the 13 Court Guard Squads.

Uh...

Whaaaaaat?!

Everyone's excited to test out your skills.

It's all thirteen people. We can't keep them waiting, or else they might get upset. Let's hurry on.

You can't be serious.
