After the meeting, Kirio Hikifune wanted to prepare some medicine for Sora to help his body recover, so she pulled him along to her laboratory.
Her lab was a bit crowded today.
This was because the Onmitsukidō had brought back a large number of Reigai from the World of the Living.
Kisuke Urahara and other lab assistants were busy with their instruments.
There were too many Reigai, and they needed a lot of life-support tanks.
But all the intact tanks had been taken by Sora. The ones the Onmitsukidō brought back were the remaining damaged ones.
However, repairing was faster than manufacturing, so they were trying to fix the damaged tanks.
"Captain, the Onmitsukidō brought back 526 Reigai. 368 of them are corpses. Most of the Reigai in the development phase died because their tanks were damaged." Kisuke Urahara's eyes immediately fell on Sora's injured hand, and he was a little surprised. "Katori-kun, your hand is injured?"
Sora's strength should have reached the standard for a captain, and he was also a Shinigami skilled in healing Kidō. An injury of this severity was unusual.
"Tetsuya Miyamoto modified his Zanpakutō. He was strong, and he had a powerful regenerative ability. He was quite difficult to deal with," Sora said.
"Miyamoto could actually modify his Zanpakutō..." Urahara stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility. "That's not easy at all. For you to be able to kill such a powerful enemy is quite impressive, Katori-kun!"
Urahara had not yet joined the 12th Division when Miyamoto was serving there, so he did not know him.
"You're already so strong, yet you're still staying at the Academy instead of becoming a captain?" Urahara probed.
Sora had been visiting the 12th Division so frequently these past few years that Urahara had a faint suspicion he wanted to take over Kirio's position as captain.
Everyone in the lab knew she was about to be promoted to the Royal Guard. Urahara had also been trying hard to find time to train, hoping to reach the standard to become a captain soon.
"I was thinking of taking over Miss Kirio's position," Sora said with a smile. "By the time she is promoted, the students I'm currently teaching will also graduate. It would be the perfect time to succeed her."
Sora now had a considerable reputation in the Soul Society, and his relationship with Kirio was very good. He didn't need to be secretive about his ambition.
"You want to take my position, Sora? That's wonderful. I'll leave this laboratory in your hands then," Kirio said with a beaming smile.
She had always intended to build a technical team in the 12th Division. After her promotion, the lab would be without a leader. Making Sora her successor was the best choice.
Urahara's face immediately fell. He covered his face and moaned, "Then doesn't that mean I have no hope!"
"You wanted to be the captain of the 12th Division too, Urahara?" Sora feigned surprise. "My apologies, then. Everyone in the 12th Division is very interesting. Compared to the other squads, I quite like it here."
"Although I'm happy to receive your praise, Katori-kun..." Urahara sighed slightly. "It seems I have no hope of becoming captain."
Urahara knew he still needed time to grow. It was unlikely he could become captain of the 12th Division before Sora.
"You don't have to be so discouraged, Urahara-kun. A talent like you is indispensable to the 12th Division," Sora said, patting his shoulder. "I've had an idea for a while, and after these recent incidents with the Reigai, that idea has become clearer."
"What idea?"
Both Urahara and Kirio looked curious.
"Although Miyamoto is dead, he will probably be reborn in Hell soon. In time, he will return," Sora explained slowly.
"Technological development is something the Seireitei cannot afford to ignore. If we don't take it seriously, it could lead to extremely severe consequences in the future."
"Therefore, if I succeed Miss Kirio, I will expand the scale of the laboratory and focus on research and development."
"I also plan to establish a special technology class at the Spiritual Arts Academy before I leave, specifically to train talented individuals in R&D."
Most of the current members of the 12th Division were ordinary Shinigami, not technical personnel.
Technical talent was rare, and the Academy had no curriculum for it.
Therefore, Sora planned to use his influence to open a small specialized class before leaving the Academy, paving the way for the 12th Division's transformation into a Bureau of Technological Development.
"That's wonderful. I actually wanted to do the same thing, but I'm running out of time. In the future, Sora, you can use my laboratory as a foundation to expand," Kirio said with a smile.
A flash of surprise crossed Urahara's eyes. He had originally thought the same thing!
Katori Sora had the exact same idea as him!
He had also planned to transform the 12th Division into a squad focused on technological research after becoming its captain.
He never expected Sora to have the same thought.
This extinguished the nascent idea of starting his own project from scratch. He wanted to stay and see how far Katori Sora could go.
"That sounds very exciting," Urahara said, scratching his face.
"The medicine to repair your spiritual body is ready. Hold out your hand," Kirio said, beckoning to Sora.
While they were chatting, she had already prepared the medication.
Kirio drew the pale green liquid from a test tube into a syringe, then inserted the needle into the back of Sora's hand, slowly injecting the medicine.
The medicine worked quickly. Sora soon felt a tingling numbness spread through his hand.
A thin layer of new flesh quickly grew over the bones of his index and middle fingers.
Then, Kirio applied a layer of high-concentration reishi nutrient fluid onto the growing flesh and wrapped his fingers and arm with a special bandage.
"This bandage slowly releases the nutrient fluid. You'll need to change it once a day. It should be fully healed within a week," Kirio said, handing him a roll of the special bandages.
"Thank you, Miss Kirio," Sora said, accepting them.
The Spiritual Body Growth Agent he had obtained from Miyamoto could heal such an injury instantly, but it would cause a small amount of Hollow reishi to accumulate in his body. Overuse could easily lead to mutations.
Although Kirio's medicine was slower, it had no side effects.
With Miyamoto eliminated, the Soul Society was relatively safe. Sora was not in a hurry and saw no need to use a drug with side effects to heal his injury.
