Chapter 770 Aika’s Interest
After making sure that Irina and Akeno would be alright, everyone left the room and moved to the conference room before activating the barrier that blocks most of the information from getting out.
The barrier's activation woke Kisuke up momentarily, but after figuring out that nothing was wrong, he closed his eyes once again. Since they'd activated it knowing that it was only him that could hear what they were going to talk about, Kisuke guessed that they didn't want him to hear any of it and he respected that, before immediately going back to his slumber.
"Is it necessary to activate the barrier?", Yoruichi asked as she sat down on her usual seat.
Serafall went to her own seat and answered, "It isn't. But I want to keep this between us for now. Having Kisuke hear what we're about to talk about won't do him any favors."
Judging from Serafall's tone, Yoruichi already had several guesses as to what she wanted to address, 'Should I say that 'As expected of her'? As someone who could see this group from the outside, it was only a matter of time before she noticed its biggest flaw. Since everyone already has enough ability to fend for themselves even without us, I guess this is truly a good time.'
Serafall was able to read Yoruichi's expression and sighed, 'Since she didn't say anything, I guess she's also aware how skewed this group is in depending on only one person who can do it all.'
All the while, the rest, except for Hestia, were still clueless about Serafall's intentions.
Once everyone got comfortable in their seats, except for Line since she thought that she didn't belong here, Sona asked Serafall, "What do you want to talk about Nee-sama? If it's important, shouldn't we wait for Irina and Akeno to wake up and Koneko and Kuroka to return?"
Serafall reclined to her seat and with an uncharacteristically serious voice, she answered, "It's very important, but I didn't gather all of you here to decide anything so relaying what will be said here to others would be enough."
Yoruichi nodded at her statement and added, "Artemis-sama is right. Thinking about Kisuke's well-being is good, however, as that guy himself said, never center yourself around him."
Aika then suddenly raised her hand and stood up, "Here, here, here!"
"Go ahead."
"Since we're finally doing something different then I'd like to express my desire from long ago!", crossing her arms, Aika continued with a big smile, "Ever since I became a Shinigami and started learning various Kidou Arts, I've always been interested in the study of Souls!"
"Oh?" Yoruichi's brows raised and were aware that Aika was a fast learner when it comes to Kidou Arts even compared to the students of the Shinigami Academy, "How come I'm only hearing this for the first time today?"
Aika scratched her head in embarrassment, "Well... There's really no chance to tell you nor Kisuke. Besides, it's only my interest and I'm already swarmed with my swordsmanship and Kidou studies. Not to mention our regular dives into the Dungeon."
Serafall could finally see why their 'creativity' was being suppressed. It's simply because they don't have time for anything else with the threats always around them and they don't really want to be forever protected by the person they followed.
Yoruichi grinned and said, "I see... Then from now on, we'll stop your Kidou studies and replace it with basic Souls studies. And maybe in the near future, you'll be able to assist Kisuke with his own research." In the first place, the basic Souls studies should have come first before the Kidou Arts studies. But due to their circumstances, it would be better for Aika to be able to use spells that were unique to the Shinigamis.
No one really expected it, not even Kisuke nor Yoruichi, but in the future, where most of their problems were already resolved, Aika would become an advisor to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute of the Soul Society and even become an Honorary Vice-Captain of the 12th Division.
