Rotten wood family.

Senju Makoto and Kuchigi Hakuya sit opposite each other on either side of a stone table under a cherry blossom tree, on which a chessboard is crisscrossed with dense black and white chess pieces.

Go.

In fact, the nobles of the corpse soul realm are more popular among shogi, but Senju Makoto is not good at shogi, but has a dabbling in Go.

After all, who can refuse to reverse the victory and defeat with the "hand of God" in a desperate situation?

"Lost!"

Kuchigi Hakuya put down the black chess pieces at his fingertips and said helplessly.

"According to the agreement, I will prepare a flower arrangement teacher for you tomorrow, and you can learn directly here."

"Thank you, then, Shiraya." Senju replied.

"It's just that I don't understand, Captain U no Flower is a famous flower arranger in the Silent Spirit Court, why do you still ask me for help?" Kuchigi Hakuya asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Flower arrangement, jade arrangement, tea painting ......"

Senju Makoto said with a smile and then added.

"It's because Ms. Unohana likes flower arrangement, so I'm going to prepare a gift for the teacher."

"I see."

Kuchigi Hakuya nodded, then distributed the pieces on the chessboard and asked. "Another game?"

Senju pushed his glasses, looked at the sunny sky, and said.

"No, today is the day when Mao Spiritual Academy recruits new students, and there happens to be a little imp who is a little relieved to participate in the admission, I plan to go and see, do you want to go with you?"

Kuchigi Hakuya groaned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

After all, today is the day of the vacation of the famous "gynecology nobleman" in the Jingling Garden, and Kuchigi Hakuya thinks that as a friend, it is okay to accompany Senju Makoto more.

Thinking of this, Kuchigi Hakuya had always maintained a cold and arrogant expression as a nobleman, and there was a hint of a wicked smile.

Suddenly, Senju Makoto's face couldn't help but darken a little, and he asked.

"Bai Ya, what are you laughing at?"

Kuchigi Hakuya replied indifferently. "Nothing, just remembering something happy."

"You're definitely thinking about that name again, aren't you??" Senju asked a little unkindly.

"How so? I am not the one who falls into the trap of a close friend. ”

"No, you're ......"

Senju Makoto glanced at Kuchigi Hakuya and said. "Even, I doubt that the appearance of that name is the driving force behind you."

"Hugh has slandered my ......"

"Before you answer, please be careful to restrain your smile......"

“……”

Rotten wood is white.

I have to say that the character that is maintained on the outside on weekdays is completely opposite, one is arrogant and indifferent, and the other is gentle and kind, but the relationship between Kuchigi Hakuya and Senju Makoto is an unexpected match.

Maybe...... People with similar looks will always be attracted to each other, right?

Soon, Senju Makoto and Kuchigi Hakuya arrived at the main entrance of the Mao Spiritual Academy, and were respectfully welcomed in by the teacher who had heard the news.

Although, Senju Makoto is just an ordinary member of the Fourth Team in the Thirteenth Team of the Court, and Hakuya Kuchigi has not even officially joined the Thirteenth Team of the Court.

But one is a disciple of the captain of the fourth team, and the other is the heir of the Kuchiki family, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and directly greeted him with the attention of the god of death at the level second only to the captain.

And at this moment, at the entrance of the Mao Spiritual Academy, there was almost a row of densely dressed and hungry residents of Wandering Soul Street, and most of them were teenagers.

This situation ...... Senju Makoto is not surprised, perhaps six or seven years ago, Senju Makoto was also one of them.

In addition to the relatively prosperous and stable areas near the Soul Garden, the more chaotic and scarce the area of Soul Street is the lower the number.

And the residents of Wandering Soul Street, who have the spiritual talent to become the god of death, are actually living quite difficult and miserable in Wandering Soul Street.

Because the residents of Wandering Soul Street with spiritual power will have a feeling of hunger like ordinary people, they are born with an extra layer of difficulty than the residents of Wandering Soul Street without spiritual power.

What's more, once the Wandering Soul Street is attacked by the Void, those Wandering Soul Street residents who exude spiritual power fluctuations will be ten or even a hundred times more delicious in the eyes of the Void than ordinary Wandering Soul Street residents.

As a result, this also prompted the vast majority of the residents of Wandering Soul Street with spiritual power to flock to the Mao Spiritual Academy and embark on the path of becoming a god of death.

In a sense, Senju Makoto even suspected that this was also one of the means used by the Central Forty-sixth Room to control the Corpse Soul Realm and maintain the transcendent status of the Silent Spirit Court from being shaken by the Wandering Soul Street.

Of course, Senju Makoto has long been able to do the fluctuation of his inner thoughts without revealing the slightest on his face, maintaining a gentle and kind expression and walking with Kuchigi Hakuya, who always maintains an aristocratic style outside, and there is a strong contrast between the two.

"Are both of these Grim Reapers? You look so young......"

"If you become a god of death in the future, will you be respected like this?"

"This time, no matter what, be sure to pass the entrance test......"

Many of the surrounding residents of Soul Street who were preparing to take the entrance test watched the outstanding Senju Makoto and Kuchiki Hakuya walk through the crowd, and their eyes were full of yearning and awe.

As Senju Makoto and Kuchigi Hakuya entered the Mao Spiritual Academy, the director of the academy who was in charge of this entrance test quickly invited Senju Makoto and Kuchigi Hakuya to the office to rest, and carefully asked if there was anything that needed to be arranged.

In this regard, Senju Makoto naturally made a few perfunctory words casually, and shirked the past on the grounds of "stopping by to take a look".

As the director of the academy left, Kuchigi Hakuya asked with some surprise.

"Huh? I thought that Chengjun was planning to arrange for an additional person to enter the Mao Spiritual Academy? ”

"No, that little ghost is a real genius, and there will be no problem with the entrance test, it's just that he's too young, so he just came to take a look." Senju replied.

"Oh? What kind of genius actually makes Chengjun so admired? Hearing this, Kuchigi Hakuya also asked with a little more interest.

Senju Makoto gestured at the height, and then said. "Only such a big little ghost, who mastered the first solution on his own before entering school, does it count?"

Suddenly, even Kuchigi Hakuya's expression was full of surprise.

There is no doubt that this is a genius who has not appeared in the corpse soul world for hundreds of years.

While Makoto Senju casually introduced the simple information of Ichimaru Silver to Kuchigi Shiraya, he cast his eyes on the dense crowd downstairs outside the window.

Through the connection of the "Seed of the Forest", Senju Makoto has long locked the position of Ichimaru Gin.

The incomparably keen-eyed Ichimaru Silver seemed to sense some kind of gaze, and quickly looked in the direction of Senju Makoto as well.
