Chapter 4

We shall now proceed to our next test, the Bakudo test!

A member of the Secret Remote Unit who excels at Flash Step is on the loose inside the Seireitei. The first squad to catch them wins this round!

You are only allowed to use Bakudo, nothing else. Trying to catch them with any other method, or hurting them, will result in disqualification.

Just as in the first round, shooting down targets will net you points, but naturally, there will also be obstacles along the way. And with that said, begin!

So we're basically playing tag.

It won't be as simple as you make it sound. The Secret Remote Unit's Flash Step is quick, even by the standards of the Stealth Force.

I love tag! Hey, it, wheeere aaare yooou?

We're it, Lieutenant.

Really? Then ready or not, here I come!

I see Yachiru's having fun. Good for her, I guess.

Complaining about every little thing doesn't paint a pretty picture of you, Rangiku.

Uh, excuse me! I didn't ask for your opinion.

Especially not from someone who spends most of his time sitting around like some old coot!

Seated elegantly, I think you mean. You must know some rather elegant old coots if seeing me evokes their image.

Um, guys?

I'll never understand how you can be so full of yourself.

But I was only telling the honest truth.

Um...

What do you wa, Oh, it's you, Izuru!

Sorry to interrupt, but I do currently have a mission to take care of.

Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying?

Yes, I'm the obstacle, more or less.

C'mon, you have to take this fight seriously too, Yumichika!

I am taking it very seriously! Can't you see I'm protecting myself?

How about you protect me while you're at it?! And how come Izuru's only attacking me?!

Ah! No! I didn't mean to!

There's no way I can stop three people all on my own. I know that's what I was told to do, but it's a bit much.

Please, there's nothing beautiful about excuses.

He's right, for once! Man up, for crying out loud!

Whaaat?

Hahaha! You should see the look on your face, Izurun!
