"Na... Nani!?"
Netero was startled, his old eyes lighting up.
This mature and steady man before him had absolutely nothing in common with the previous Riku; they were two entirely different styles.
The other party's temperant was incredibly composed. His whole person looked gentle as jade, yet gave off a sense of oppression.
"Riku?!"
Netero was a bit uncertain, because this person in front of him was completely different from Riku.
"Of course, Chairman, I am Riku!" Sosuke Aizen spoke.
"Your Nen ability!?"
"You can understand it as seventy-two transformations. I can turn into any appearance I want. Not bad, right, Chairman? However, Aizen's aura is too high-class, it is not quite suitable for the upcoming battle."
"I should change into sothing a bit more normal."
After saying that.
The figure of Sosuke Aizen before his eyes rapidly changed.
Black Shihakusho!
One eye covered by an eyepatch.
Spiky hair standing on end.
An expression as ferocious as an evil spirit.
Kenpachi Zaraki!
Hiss—
Even Netero could not help but be surprised inwardly.
This man in front of him was simply like a demon released from purgatory. Filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.
Is this... really Riku?
How could a teenage brat have such a powerful presence?
"Not bad, right? Kenpachi is the most suitable to be an instructor, especially for this kind of exam. How about Instructor Kenpachi of the Hunter Association?"
Kenpachi Riku grinned.
It was just that with his current face, his smile looked even more terrifying.
As a copied entity, Riku possessed all the physical characteristics of Kenpachi Zaraki from his mory.
But the spiritual pressure sealed within the eyepatch was absent.
After all, it was just a knockoff.
But the combat power was real.
Activating the Scarlet Eyes... was no less astonishing than so eyepatch-sealed spiritual pressure!
"Interesting! Interesting! Hahahahaha! Riku-kun! You are absolutely the person who has given the biggest surprise in years. No matter what, you will definitely join the Hunter Association in the future. I will just issue you your license right here! Hahahaha!"
Netero laughed heartily.
Riku's ability had truly given him far too great a surprise.
This was his first ti seeing an ability that could transform into anyone.
This kind of ability required an absolute mastery over details.
Otherwise, various flaws would have appeared when he transford into Netero himself earlier.
Then that proved one thing: Riku's mastery over his own ability had reached the absolute pinnacle of precision!
Netero had already done background checks on all the candidates. He naturally knew that Riku ca from Whale Island and was only a teenager.
A true genius!
Even monstrously so.
Furthermore.
"Riku-kun, are you interested in going to the training ground to spar with this old man? Of course, I will hold back a bit."
Netero had also developed a rare spark of interest.
"Absolutely! Since you offered, old man, how could I not accompany you for a spar? But let us agree first, how about you give a handicap of one hand and two legs! After all, you are humanity's highest combat power, how could a little noob like be your match?"
"Then why don't you just say you want this old man to fight you using only his head."
Netero laughed, slightly exasperated.
The two went directly through the back door of the office to the training ground.
Riku VS Netero!
No.
It was Kenpachi Riku VS Netero!
Because Netero wanted to test his specific combat power after the transformation.
It would also help determine the passing standard for this exam.
The two stood still.
"Alright, as agreed, I will give you a handicap of one leg and one hand, but you..."
Netero did not finish his sentence.
Kenpachi Riku launched a sneak attack directly.
[Divine Power] (Red)!
[Extre Speed] (Gold)!
[Taijutsu Master] (Gold)!
[Super Copy] (Gold)!
[Iron-Plated Tank] (Gold)!
...
[Scarlet Eyes] (Red)!
Open!
Hum~~~
In an instant.
Kenpachi Riku's aura suddenly erupted.
The feeling was as if a little puppy was running over, but the mont it pounced, it instantly transford into a ferocious lion.
Even Netero could not hold back in that split second.
Boom—
Terrifying power even caused the entire training ground to tremble violently.
The sword in his hand, which he had just picked up casually, shattered into pieces on the spot.
But a terrifying slash mark appeared in front of Riku; the floor crumbled and the ceiling was sliced open.
At the end of the slash mark.
Netero's clothes were blown to shreds, his hands pushed forward.
100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva!
In that brief instant, he used his technique to block this strike, but the sheer force was imnse.
A faint bloody scar even surfaced on his palm!
The violently astonishing power had embedded his entire person into the wall.
...
Outside.
"What happened!"
"Chairman!!"
The sudden, massive explosion instantly alard everyone.
Beans hastily called for backup.
But by the ti they arrived, Netero had already changed his shredded clothes and walked out.
"Cough, cough... I just accidentally damaged the training ground a mont ago. Everything is fine, you all can go back. I still need to have a chat with Riku-kun."
Netero said with a straight face.
"Uh... Understood, Chairman. Please make sure to mind your safety when training. I will imdiately arrange for soone to fix the training ground."
Beans led the people away.
Only Netero and Riku remained in the office.
"Hiss... Ouch, you brat definitely wanted to hack to death just now! I almost died!"
Netero sighed with imnse emotion. "It is hard to imagine that you possess such powerful attack force at your age. In that split second just now, your strength surged by at least ten tis..."
Netero understood.
If it was Riku in that state, although not a match for his full power.
Looking across the entire Association.
He was one hundred percent a powerhouse on the level of the Zodiacs!
And in the upper-middle tier at that.
The problem was... Riku was only a teenager!
A genius!
A freak!
No.
A monster!
This is the true hope of humanity.
The wound on his palm still throbbed with a dull ache. This kid was too formidable.
As for why he could unleash ten tis the combat power.
Netero would not ask, and would even help keep it a secret.
Geniuses always have their own secrets, and any interaction between people requires a certain amount of space.
However, not the slightest smile could be seen on Riku's face; he even looked a bit depressed.
[Ding! You defeated Netero in a combat stance. 10% chance to copy the opponent's trait...]
[Copying...]
[Ding! Copy failed...]
...
This was the answer given by the system.
A 0% success rate!
Should he just let the old man kill him?
It did not drop.
His luck did not burst.
What a pain.
Maybe it was just because his Strong Luck had triggered too much earlier, resulting in him needing to stack luck again now.
A pity.
What a huge pity!
Opportunities to spar with Netero were not common.
Furthermore, the next ti they fought, this old man definitely would not give him so many handicaps. Wanting to defeat the opponent again would be practically impossible.
Headache.
"Hey, hey, hey! Young man, are you listening to ? I said I agree to your request. For this exam, you will act as the examiner. However, you cannot go out to et them using your real identity. It is best to transform into another person. That Kenpachi from just now was pretty good."
"As for your license, I will issue it to you in advance. I will find an excuse when the ti cos."
The look in Netero's eyes as he looked at Riku now was full of appreciation.
It was simply like a grandfather looking at his grandson.
So good that it was creeping Riku out.
"Would doing this be against the rules?" Riku asked hesitantly.
"In the Association, I am the rules."
Netero puffed out his chest, speaking proudly.
