(Yhwach's pov)
Ryoto Yuuki was an enigma. I was aware of that for a long ti but it looks like even I could get surprised by sothing unexpected.
His eyes... they weren't natural. That's the only explanation that I have. If I wasn't aware of the eyes of the Soul King, then I would probably assu that this is what they looked like, but they weren't that. Even with the feeling that they could see through , they weren't that. But that raises the question. Who is the man nad Ryoto Yuuki?
He is Captain of Squad 2 and is known for manipulating information. He is also one of the three disciples of Yamamoto Genryusai, which ans that he can't be a pushover. That old fool may have gone soft compared to his old days, but he is still a monster, and none of his disciples will be weak. He won't allow it.
I'm confident that Ryoto Yuuki won't escape from here alive. I won't allow it. He is too dangerous to be left alive. There is also that mystery of why I could feel Soul King's energy from him. He doesn't seem to possess any of Soul King's parts. He also looked surprised at the ntion of the Soul King but gained so understanding after quick thinking, so he must know sothing, and I plan on getting my answers either from his mouth... or his corpse.
(Ryoto's pov)
Now think, Ryoto, think. How do I stall enough ti to execute my plan? I don't have to wait exactly, but I need to catch them off guard long enough to use it, and it doesn't help that I only did this a few tis about half a century ago.
Maybe I should think about what advice others would give . Isane... she wouldn't know. Rin wouldn't give any advice. She would jump into action and stand beside and maybe reprimand for going here alone. Yoruichi would say sothing like, 'Don't get hit'. Who guessed that the fastest woman I know would say sothing like that.
Who else there is. Jushiro-senpai would say sothing smart and try to defuse the situation by talking first, but it won't work here. Shunsui-senpai would maybe share a drink with them before fighting, but after the fight would break out, he would use every little trick at his disposal to win, and that's what I'm going to do, but I wanted sothing more concrete. Sojun... he wouldn't be a help here. Isamu... I don't know what he would do in front of the Father of all Quincies.
I need to go farther in my mory lane.
Karen would maybe laugh at my misfortune first before giving a quest to motivate and saying sothing like 'dodge everything, hit hard, and don't die', which, funnily enough, is the sa advice that she gave when I was fighting Gid what it feels like was a century ago... It was longer than double that ti.
Mikan and Rito... yeah, sorry, my cute siblings, but I doubt you would even approve of what I'm doing or what I was doing for the past 200 years or so. I don't want to think about it for now. Al... she would get wet seeing my strength... literally. God dammit, she is hopeless. Lala would take out one of her crazy inventions to help in any way she could. Thinking about it is enough to make smile. Kaede and Rio would probably give so advice that we learned from Koro-sensei that... I... forgot...
Koro-sensei!!! He probably would have an answer. I just need to rember everything that he has taught . It's not like I don't use his lessons at all, but there must be sothing small that would help now. I just need to rember it.
'All of the connections we encounter in this world serve as a teacher who nurtures us' that's what Koro-sensei used to say and what I was currently doing and that's why I started recollecting many of Koro-sensei's lessons.
'Past you've lost will never co back. I myself have made so many mistakes... But we can learn from the past so we don't repeat it.'
'Take advantage of what you have while you have it.'
'The world will always be filled with injustice. If you have ti to give up or hold a grudge against that injustice, then use that ti to enjoy battling those injustices instead.'
'Please rember that there are tis to take soone's hand and lead them along... But also tis when you must be stern and let them fend for themselves.'
'Is anything ever truly wasted?'
'You didn't let emotions or background cloud your judgnt...'
'The fact that I'm targeted by everyone is proof that I'm powerful.'
Then it clicked.
These Quincies think of as a threat. That much is obvious, and they have every reason to see as such. They know that I killed a few of their comrades, and they are wary of . That's why I am surrounded, but it's not their whole army. For so reason, so of Yhwach's strongest Quincies aren't here.
Why.
I was called one of the 6 war threats, and they don't know my full capabilities. There is a mystery about my connection with the Soul King, which Yhwach, of all people, should know that it usually ans trouble, so the question stands. Why doesn't he have his full force on full assault against ? It doesn't make sense unless...
Unless he is wary of sothing else. He is trying to preserve his army. It would make sense if he was expecting reinforcent but he said that he controls this dinsion so why would he do that.
Simple. There is a possibility that he can only stop people from leaving but not from entering. Thankfully, Yhwach doesn't know that no help is coming. Or at least I hope they don't. I already have my escape plan and if they get here after I'm gone it's a death sentence. I may be also completely off about it and the reason for not bringing his whole army here is sothing entirely different. It doesn't matter that much in the end as it make things a bit easier for .
I tightened the grip on my swords as I tried to formulate how to use what I have at the mont.
They won't let leave without a fight. They want dead, and they won't stop until I'm finished, so the only ti they'll let their guard down is...
Fuck. Rin is going to kill when I get back.
"Now, boys. How do you want to do it? Should I go at you first, or would you prefer to get the first move?" I faked my battle-hungry grin to look more confident. I need to look like I have everything under control and like I have a chance of getting out of here alive, but I can't oversell it either.
"Stop there, Villain!!!"
A large, muscular man wearing a luchador mask covering his whole face called out.
It was Mask De Masculine, who has the designation S: The Superstar, together with Jas, who is his fan. A wrestler and his fan are one and the sa. They can't be killed unless they are dead at the sa ti. At the sa ti, he is one of the least dangerous opponents here, and not because he is weak, but because I am pretty confident I will win against him... if it was 1 on 1, which it's not. And just to prove my point correct, other Quincies joined in the conversation.
"Non non non. Masculine, as much as I admire your... simplicity, you can't attack this man alone. As much as he must have exhausted himself in his earlier bout he is equally as dangerous and His Majesty's actions speak of it loudly."
It was Quilge Opie who stepped out, and he wasn't alone. Without saying anything, BG9 also joined, and he focused solely on . An old Quincy nad Robert Accutrone did the sa as he pushed his glasses up and prepared his guns.
"Quilge, you always like to exaggerate things. He is only one man. He can't win against all of us. Bah! I doubt he could kill one of us!"
Quilge looked at Driscoll Berci like he was an idiot, which he was. He was ready to argue but decided against it. No use arguing with idiots, and I respect it even if I'll try to kill him in a few monts.
"But before we begin, I have a question for our adversary." A man with light hair, so purple bangs, and looking incredibly smug stepped in front of . "Do you fight because of your duty as a Shinigami? If that's the case, I object. There's no reason to fight for sothing like that. Do you fight for survival? I object to it as well! What's the point of your survival? You'll die anyway, so what's the point! Was that because-"
He didn't get to finish his speech as I made a powerful slash at my opponent, cutting him in half.
"I'm fighting you because you are a danger to my family. And you proved that point when my children ca back injured. Nothing more, nothing less."
