Security was at the forefront of Asahi's mind. If the situation truly called for his intervention involving Nyuraku and Zhou, he'd provide it. He didn't feel he needed to yet. There was a clear escalation of the situation involving the student cluster but the panic that spread throughout the school was something he had to narrow. It was unclear exactly what the extent of the damage caused by the gas was outside of the obvious. How much further could the situation worsen? And would there come a point in which this experiment would be shut down by the Twelfth Shinigami. Asahi would be lying to himself if he did not find some fascination in what was occurring but the subjects used for this trial were of his responsibility.

After the erection of his blockades to this specific corridor, his eyes fell to the ground. His lips curved into an absolutely wicked grin. Where he did not want anyone to die in this situation, which could be on the table for some students, the chaos that was transpiring was not something that struck fear into the short instructor. There was no unease, no lack of confidence, not even a real consideration of himself. What ultimately came to the surface was the sensation of joy. This whole situation was something that was unique and refreshing. A new challenge to conquer and more importantly... a new game to be played.

The Clown could feel every Soul shuffling about as they either were overcome by the sheer panic from what was transpiring, or obediently followed the procedures requested by the Academy's staff. There were the two scientists, Zhou, the fleshy monster, and the nearing aid from the Fourth. His hands trembled for a moment as he contained an outburst that'd be completely unbecoming in such a situation. Instead, he drew the weapon that was strapped to his back and swung it out to his side. The sunlight that flowed into the hallway erupting from the pristine blade. The male parted his lips for but two words. Not for one second losing the unhinged expression that graced his visage.

"Tomogui. Minaoshi."

And with that utterance, he brought forth the power of his beloved Zanpakuto. Something that went without use in his previous bout with his superior officer. The weapon hummed as it's figure warped into that of a steel gauntlet with various orifices scattered across it's shiny figure. A swarm of metallic hornets burst out from the newly forged armament and surrounded the Clown with a twinkling orbit. He reached within his garments and withdrew a set of small round capsules and proceeded to hold them out before him. The flying insects pierced them and drained the substance that filled the inside of these orbs. Once they had their fill they rushed forward and breached the barrier nearest to their master as it flickered for all but a moment.

These tiny friends of Asahi pathed their way throughout the hallways of the school, striking the students that were subject reluctant to falling into order. Their stingers dug into the trainees' bodies and injected their retained chemical within them. Immediately they'd feel the effects of the specific drug that overtook them. At first feeling a numbing and calming sensation before being overtaken by a state of overwhelming comfort and elation. They no longer would be struck with the heavy weight of the suffocating terror that they formerly felt. Instead they could not have a care and entered a state that was significantly more passive, allowing for instruction to trump all else. Each spent hornet faded from existence after their respective injections.

Such a simple task did not require further attention from the Third's Fifth Seat, instead he just hummed to himself as he could feel an air of calm taking over the school. The only real remnant of discourse remained with the irritated chimera. Asahi remained still for a moment before heading towards the direction of his ally to potentially bring aid. Though his movements would come to an end as a certain string of words dug into his ears.

”Devour and regurgitate, Namekujira!!”

A phrase that prompted the release of the female scientist's Shikai. She used the activated power to dispose of a portion of the pair's experiment after acknowledging whatever data she desired from it. Asahi did not act for that exact moment, finding it important that such an object was handled, but when he noted her attempt to leave the lockdown he put in place, he could not allow it. Whether the female would retaliate or not was unknown but at the very least he did not want someone from ground zero wandering the halls. Let alone, if corrective action needed to be done in the near future, he couldn't allow for one of the party in question to run freely. He may not be a detaining officer of the Second or an enforcer of the Sixth, but he would take this situation as serious as they may.

Asahi raised a hand towards the scientist, moving his fingers through the air to draw a sigil of sorts. A crimson aura overtakes the Clown body following the swiping of his protruding digits along the space before him.

"Bakudō #9. Geki"

A command was uttered into the ether, bringing about that same light to consume Kai's figure. Halting the movement of her sling and overtaking the entirety of her body in an instant. The Fifth Seat maintained his now still gesture and continued to speak his will outward.

"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini."

His corresponding phrase was coupled with him beginning to walk a bit closer to the target of his spell. The inclusion of these additional words further tightening the bind that had embraced the Twelfth Officer's body. But it didn't end there.

"Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat."

He concluded the spells enhanced with one last locution. The Clown had performed his spell's incantation in post, desiring to completely shut down the woman's movement with haste. Then he tightened the scarlet shackles to complete the Demon Art. Asahi made no effort to display any hostility, though he was prepared for anything Kai had decided to do in response to his impeding magic. He relaxed the arm that was equipped with his released weapon and clutched it lightly with his free hand. Feeling the vibrations from the creatures that still resided within the steel gauntlet. The amount of hornets that it could produce were seemingly endless, evident already by those that brought the students throughout the building into submission, and the cloud that still scurried around the starry-eyed reaper.

"If you'd be so kind. I'd love to have your company for a little while."

The tiny male beamed with a look of sheer excitement during and after his speech.

"I'd love to know exactly what makes up that fancy gas. Certainly something to behold! Or... If you don't wanna talk about it. We could play a little game! I just can't let you leave right now. Sorry!"

A small cluster of armored vespa that did not need to be used upon the students returned but this time outside the mystical wall that Kai had previously tried to destroy. Their numbers were few so they were very hard to see shifting about the air just outside the barrier. If the female broke free from the suppressing aura placed on her and still proceeded to break free from the confines of Asahi's blockade, she'd be met with the drug filled insects that observed from outside the barricade. The ever so tricky and odd nature of the Twelfth clearly was presented in this individual, which also meant she could have anything up her sleeve. Even an immunity to the chemicals within the bugs... but that was not the only tool they provided to the gleaming Asahi.

Kai moves her arm to sling her Slime only to come to a sudden halt, her slime dripping to the ground instead of flying forward. She has a puzzled expression on her face, wondering why her body stopped responding but she soon heard the answer to this question.

"Bakudō #9. Geki"

Who she had heard was Asahi as he uses a follow up incantation to further restrain Kai, who makes no effort to resist. Everything is an experiment and this situation is no exception as she wishes to see how far this will go. With the wall still intact Asahi had completed his mission in keeping Kai in one place, but was this the right thing to do?

"If you'd be so kind. I'd love to have your company for a little while."

Just as he beamed with excitement so too did Kai, a growing ever widening smile of pure glee to hear someone say such a thing to her. His follow up statement brought her even more joy!

"I'd love to know exactly what makes up that fancy gas. Certainly something to behold! Or... If you don't wanna talk about it. We could play a little game! I just can't let you leave right now. Sorry!"

Kai began to laugh hysterically, it is rare to meet someone who asks who or what in these sort of situations it is usually just, “why”. So many dull minds exist who only want to stop the experiments, who want to swing their swords at it or fire off Kido upon it instead of observing and asking, “Why is this happening?” So much more understanding can be had if people just have more curious minds instead of boxing themselves out from infinite possibilities. Because of Asahi’s questioning he receives an answer, more than what Feng-san will get with his long winded rambling.

”Hojiku-Zai!!” (補肉剤, Flesh-mending Drug; Viz "Flesh-Healing Medicine")

She shouts at the top of her lungs, Asahi would feel her attempt to resist the Kido as she attempted to throw her arms in the air with joy. Feeling her body unable to move she lets out a burst of laughter at her current situation, as that is all she can do.

”For more information on the specifics you’ll have to ask Kurotsuchi-san! This is his experiment after all, I’m but a humble observer and data collector!”

Regurgitation

In the time it took Asahi to speak to Kai, her slime had been pooling at her feet. As she was speaking her last sentence it rises up from the ground to engulf her, consuming her entirely. For a moment it is a mix of various light blue colors but after a bit of time it would become transparent enough for Kai to see out of and in return allowed Asahi to see Kai. More than that, the devouring capabilities of Namekujira will have removed the Kido clinging to Kai’s body. While it sealed her physical body it did not halt the movement of her slime, not to mention the other slime devouring the sample had yet to return allowing her Zanpakuto to free her at any time. Asahi must consider all variables when capturing a subject.

”But you seem curious and I like that! So let us recreate the scenario Nyuraku created, yes!?”

Holding out her left hand a glob of slime drops to the floor and does nothing for a moment. It then explodes, turning into a mess of mutated flesh that begins to fill their section of the corridor. It was identical to what Nyuraku had created and because of that the situation had doubled in scale. Third Division was in deep trouble at this point as two seemingly out of control monsters have spawned in the barracks and are growing without end.

”Having consumed a sample of the experiment I can replicate its conditions to an almost 1:1 ratio! While Kurotsuchi-san and Feng-san have their fun with theirs, we shall have fun with our own!!”

She explains what is happening, despite it being obvious but Asahi’s curious mind has her wanting to talk and teach. The Reiatsu of the new blob grows and builds, expanding along with its body. Asahi will have to either let down the barrier to allow this thing room to grow or allow it to break the and devour the barrier on its own. Whatever lay on the other side of the barrier will have no room to maneuver past the wall of flesh that is coming its way. Meanwhile Kai takes a few steps back, watching with a smile on her face, listening for any questions Asahi might have about this blob. From the perspective of others Asahi may have made things worse by stopping Kai as her data collection would have involved her cleaning up any escaped variables with her Zanpakuto. It would have been a nice calm collection of data and Asahi potentially could have been helping Zhou out at this very moment.

Junko waited with a frustrated look on her face. Scattered about the building her squad worked to determine what exactly had happened. Their initial readings had been nothing but confusing to them as a collective, leading Junko to send them for more information. Regardless of what they found, Junko knew it was useless. Instructed to avoid the corridors that housed the highest spiritual powers, the woman wished no trouble for her members. Third would have to rely on their own strength to handle the threats they were perceiving for now. In the meantime, Junko's hands covered her face. The pressure she applied helped her focus, blacking out the constant bustle around her as she considered what she knew already. She had not missed the students who, gathering in fear, had pressed themselves as close together as possible, only to wind up in all the more terror as they grew into strange, monstrous shapes that appeared as if they had simply merged together. Although they seemed to retain their own reiatsu signatures within the strange new bodies, The fear and multiple trains of thoughts were still obvious.

This only served to anger the woman further. Her mind's eye conjured up the image of the strange man from Twelve she had met on a few occasions. From what she could recall, the man had made her uneasy in his presence, though it had more to do with his mannerisms and appearance rather than a feeling from him as a person. Though eccentric and perhaps a little closed-minded when it concerned matters outside of exact science, he seemed reasonable enough with no true urge to truly harm anyone. This left her with the solace that he was a man of reason. Though exactly what words would spur him to destroy what she could only assume was what he saw as precious experiments was beyond her at the moment. She doubted any threats of detainment would be useful. The man most likely saw no issue with his current actions.

Junko had ensured to study mental anomalies along with physical, though even if she knew precisely what ailed the man mentally it wouldn't matter. The reasoning behind his actions was known only to him and she would not be enlightened by simply giving a name to the behavior. As her thoughts went around in circles over how to approach the man to stop the chaos he had sown, another interrupted her thoughts with his approach. Eyes darting to him, she recognized the situation the moment she saw the look on his face. Not a single word was spoken before the woman straightened herself back up, pulling her phone from her pocket. It was clear they had found nothing more than what they already understood of the strange gas. Breathing deeply, she calmed herself as she considered what exactly to say. Her announcement would reach the phones of every student of the Academy along with every shinigami assigned to the squad.

"Everyone please be advised: keep your distance from others. Fourth has reason to believe this situation is being made worse by physical contact. If you can hear this, please submit to my care and calmly remain where you are. The situation is being handled,"

Though she ended the message with something of a lie, such seemed necessary to keep everyone within the building calm until such words were true. Previously, Junko had underestimated the size of the Academy. So accustomed to the hospital's exact size, the reach of her reaitsu had filled the hallways though had not given the full sedating effect she had hoped for. Her request to them to submit to her was simply submitting to her relaxing effects, hopefully keeping everyone in place and safe. Thinking over her next move, thoughts were suddenly scattered by a nearby door slamming open. Before anyone from her squad could react a student was flying out of the door, back shoved into the wall on the opposite side of the hallway harshly. Attempting to assess the situation, Junko's eyes flitted to within the doors that were now open. It had been a teacher that had thrown the student, frenzied eyes staring with rage at the boy that was now on the floor. Behind him were students lined along the wall, reaching to one another for support before quickly pulling away to avoid physical contact. Before she could move to the enraged instructor, squad members were approaching the student fast, hands already glowing with the light green hue of healing kido.

"Don't heal him!"

A bright burst of light scattered those that gathered in the hall, the teacher thrown back into his classroom while the squad members were shoved away from the student they were attempting to help. The use of any force coming from the woman had all eyes upon her, practically seething as the stared at the situation before her. More than her outburst, her words caused the most confusion. Why would Junko of all people advise against healing? Before they could receive their answer Junko was on the move, standing toe-to-toe with the Third Division member who had found both his feet and his indignation. His mouth opened, most likely to berate her, though not a single word would be uttered before he crumpled at her feet, her pressure forcing him into a deep sleep. They didn't need any panic, especially not from those meant to protect the students.


Looking back to her bewildered squad, they maintained the distance Junko had created though their eyes were filled with confusion. Pointing to the teacher, no words were needed for the message to be clear. Bound with his hands behind his back, the man was carefully moved into a nearby closet. Nothing more was given to the students beyond a nod from Junko as she occupied herself with closing the door once more. Looking back to the perplexed masked group, Junko gave a light shake of her head.


"We have no information on what this is as of yet. All any of you have gathered so far is the use of our own kaido to create this gas. None of these students have been diagnosed with any wounds. In fact, according to our instruments, they're in better health than we are. Healing anyone, especially over something as simple as a bruised back could potentially make this situation worse,"

Turning away from them to uselessly hide her emotions despite the gas mask covering her face, Junko stood chewing at the inside of her cheek. As things stood in the moment, tracking down Nyuraku seemed her best bet. Even if she were one more prone to fighting, such tactics seemed useless against the man. As for his accomplice.... all the unknown variables aggravated her. She was fairly certain of where they were, though approaching them seemed all the more futile. Her little experience with the squad had left her with a vague idea of how to approach the one man, though a single wrong word could potentially make everything all the more difficult. With no base at all for the other of the pair, approaching them seemed completely useless to her.

“I’m not sure what they are here for, but in all honesty, you are right. We are fools. You are definitely more efficient than anyone that decided to come to this scene… who are we to interfere…”

Instructor Feng struggles to maintain control, battling against the legion of gathered spiritual pressure with his own. It is an invisible contest that places deadlocks them, neither truly gaining any ground in this spiritual tug-o-war, yet will easily falter if either one lets up for even a moment. The scientist stands confused, a single eye glancing towards the man rambling on about the obvious.

"Why...of course. This naturally goes without saying."

Zhou correctly assesses Nyuraku as a narcissist, as the man is never unconfident in his work. While his aggravation would have him physically assault the bug-eyed man, he rationalizes internally, and chooses to appease the brilliant mind instead, in hopes of appealing to his sense of pride.

“You’re the only one that can stop this, but I know that your-"


The instructor begins running on a tangent. While attempting to exploit Nyuraku's hubris, the man inadvertently reveals his own. What else could it be, besides hubris..to believe he held the mental faculties to manipulate the man before him. Nyuraku begins stroking his chin while Zhou Feng prattles on about some secret mission, the true reason for him being in the Third Division and so on. Outwardly, it appears as though the man is in thought, contemplating the words of the fool who seems to have a sliver of intelligence, realizing that he and the others present are incompetent in comparison to himself. Step one was always the hardest for people, admitting their faults, their weaknesses. Once one understood where they were lacking, that energy could be properly exerted elsewhere.

He shows no concerns or curiosity towards his colleagues situation. As Kai entertains her own intellectual inferior, she informs the alchemist of news that perhaps hinders more than helps him. Kai in reality, knew nothing of the experiment or its design. Like everyone else, she is witnessing first hand the results of the fumes Nyuraku released, having no prior knowledge. As Asahi has left Kurotsuchi in the care of Zhou, he learns that if he truly wanted answers, there was currently a single route to them; Nyuraku Kurotsuchi. Having only recently met the Hakuda Instructor, just how much could he trust the man, proven to be more brain than brawn, to wrestle out any form of credible information from the scientist?

Fourth Division scour the halls of the campus building they find themselves in. As they advance in their search, Junko who spear heads the expedition works to command those under her watch, while also struggling to pacify those still terrified and upset. Having witnessed the grotesque mutation of peers and friends, seeds of distrust born of fear are planted in their hearts. They don't know who to trust, who hasn't been infected and so they suspect everyone around them.

In the heat of the madness, a brief altercation ensues. Fear continues to drive their instincts, to devolve them into the very likeness that many perceive the residents of the Rukongai to be. One person is inadvertently injured because of this. Guided by their calling to help those in need, those who have been harmed they rush to separate the parties and to apply aid to the injured only for-

"Don't heal him!"

They stay their hands, halt the flow of their reiryoku preparing the healing kido. Her subordinates stare at her in confusion, were they not here to help? Here to provide aid to the sick and infirmed, the hurt and injured? Why would she stop them from doing what they had all sworn to uphold and do? While just as confused as those around her, Junko does not allow herself to be swayed by this confusion or the fear that surrounds her. Though not a scientist, she has proven herself to be a woman of reason. She reminds those under her charge that they have all assessed the surroundings and whatever fumes are lingering only to discover nothing. She reminds them that while diagnosing those infected though they could do nothing to stop the transformation, it was determined that there were no actual medical anomalies that were proven to be detrimental in the mass of gathered flesh. This meant that naturally, any Kaido used would be ineffective. She has no answers and so, she does not wish to agitate the situation any further. She secretly concludes what young Asahi has perhaps already discovered as well...that she would need to speak with Nyuraku about this if she wanted any actual information. While she knows the answer to bringing this mystery to a close, she unfortunately lacks the resolve to pursuit it, deeming any efforts on her end futile. A lack of confidence stays the healer's hands.

"-let’s say your experiment is successful, then what will happen to the one that’s supposed to be brought down? I can’t… I can’t afford that to happen. As I see it, you’re the only one smart enough for a task of this caliber. What would Captain Nakamoto think in this situation…?”


Zhou's words though subconsciously are heard, and processed on a conscious level, they are mostly ignored. He ponders upon how much more he would need to dilate the drug to bring the desired effects closer to fruition, and then his thoughts derail to wondering what would transpire if he altered the drug, intensifying its components and its chemical make up. What would happen if he also programmed the drug to correlate with the genetic sequence of the hollow's regeneration, one rather exceptional in regards to that ability? Could he use hollow cells? No, he may accidentally hollowfy someone..but...wht if he deeply weakened the hollow cells before integrating them? At the sound of a single name however, the scientist is pulled from his thoughts. He blinks, lips stretching into a wide large toothed smile.

"Why, my dear friend Captain Nakamoto would no doubt praise me for my brilliance! We would sit and talk for hours on the specifics of my field and his field, he would compliment my hair, and I his. What a time we would have!"

He smiles, his saucer like eyes fluttering at the thought of being able to actually see his friend. He has unfortunately been unable to actually stop by and pay a visit to his medical kindred soul. He lets out a pained sigh, before his head turns as if on a swivel, his large smile returning as he beams towards Zhou.


"Why do you ask? Did he perhaps mention or ask about me per chance?"

Zhou let out a warm breath, his eyes closing with the lack of response from the bug-eyed male. From there, Zhou removed his Zanpakutō from the glob of flesh that was halted in its tracks. Zhou’s body once shook, seeming to be strained from the amount of pressure that his ability was currently subduing. Rather than shaking like he did before in order to keep the beast at bay, he no longer shook. The blue haired figure no longer looked as though this being forced him to struggle in any capacity. A sense of calm washed over him rather than the frustrations that most would have been inflicted with. The stoic look plastered about the male’s face remained – not even a sign of relief that one might have had after struggling with the monstrosity that was before the both of them. The amount of power Zhou currently radiated was just the same as he did before; there was no change to it. Instead, his power was refined. No matter where the conclusion was being drawn, whether stupidity or hubris, Zhou’s mind was one where if given enough time, he was able to work out some sort of solution. In this instance, he needed enough time to focus his spiritual pressure, forcing the lock he created to be sturdier than what it was before – not because of brute strength, but by focus and concentration. His reiryoku was controlled to a higher degree. Sure, the lock was generated, was sturdy, and held the being in place, but now, this lock was akin to being reinforced, something much more stable than what it was before. Focusing on making that singular lock stronger, tighter, and overall better was key in order to make the given ability that much more efficient than it was before. With this time being granted to him, there was no change in the glob’s spiritual pressure nor physical size, Zhou removed his Zanpakutō from the being. This being, despite how massive it was, didn’t have style or mastery over its power. It was sloppy and poorly generated.

Zhou didn’t move or falter at this point, his eyes fixated on Nyuraku. The soul waited to see if he had something else up his sleeve, regardless, he had asked not once, but twice pertaining to the situation. Both of which were met with lack of a genuine response. If Zhou was a fool, Nyuraku either had to be deaf, mentally-regressed, or another form of mental disability as there was no way someone could avoid such an answer – especially with him being so prideful about his own intelligence. Regardless of the short-comings this soul possessed, he waited for back up to assist the situation as he genuinely hoped he didn’t have to be physically inclined to handle this situation.

With this, Zhou continued to wait for either an answer, some sort of progression, or some other form of progression as Nyuraku’s twisted face continued to have a jovial appearance about it. With only one other thing Zhou could do, Zhou waited to see if he’d have to use… that technique – a last resort that he genuinely didn’t want to experiment with. With no words, only holding his weapon, this was a game of patience, but with no form of visual progression, it could be assumed that this experiment was nothing but a waste of time to those that didn’t dabble in whatever field the two miscreants were a part of.

“He did not.”


Zhou finally responded as his own spiritual pressure still could be felt. The way that his own spiritual power continued to swarm about him - it was as if Zhou was preparing something else. Again, he wasn’t sure this was going to work, but at the same time, Nyuraku was sure to make things complicated to some degree. Giving Nyuraku time to fix what he created, he waited to see if this soul would have kept his word in regards to the fixing the current problem at hand.
