After I felt satisfied of flying around, I decided to try to go to soul society.
"System how do I go to soul society?"
[Host can use a garganta to go to soul society]
"Won't the shinigamis there notice my presence?"
[No host]
"How? I thought that they'll be able to sense hollows the moment they enter soul society using a garganta."
[A hollow has a unique reiryoku and the shinigamis can find hollows by sensing their reiryoku. Using a garganta will not alert them as you are not a hollow]
"Alright then, lets do this." I opened a garganta and went in it.
I didn't need to worry about my physical body getting eaten or damaged by animals because the first barrier that I setted up can make the anything in it invisible.
Stepping out of the garganta, I saw that I was in a forest with large and thick trees, I can also feel that the reiryoku here is much more denser.
Well that is to be expected, considering that this is soul society where a captains reiryoku is enough to make a person have difficulty in moving.
"So this is soul society." I said while looking around.
I didn't know where I was so I opened my system map and also it has changed to a different one from the human world.
"Oh well that's convenient." I said in slight surprise and looked where I am.
I was in a orange and green circle, there were other colors like yellow, blue, white, and many more, since I don't know what these color represent, I asked. "System what does these colors stand for?
[Answering to host, orange means your in a district below 50, black is for districts above 50, green means your in a forest, white is for seireitei, red means food establishments, blue means clothing store, yellow means the Shin'ō Academy and brown means an inn.
"Thank you system."
[Your welcome host]
I zoomed out of my location to look for a city or a village and after I few seconds I found a village that nearby, so I walked over to it.
I didn't used void stride since I wanted to enjoy the surroundings and it really was beautiful with green grass and clear blue water.
But this peace was interrupted by several men in tattered clothes with have weapons in their hand and with savage expressions on their faces surrounded me.
"Stop! If you know what's good for you then put down all your money to us." A person who I assumed was their leader because of his robust appearance spoke while steeping forward.
Hearing what they said his words, the other men laughed and started to say similar things.
"You better do as our leader said otherwise your gonna be chopped into tiny pieces."
"Hahahahah I haven't killed someone for so long that my hands are getting itchy to kill you."
"Don't you Idiots! Look at his face, he will definitely go for a high price if we sell him to the market."
When I heard the last comment, flames of fury filled my heart. "You want to sell me as a slave? Hohohoho your gonna get it" I thought while looking daggers at the man that said that.
The man felt like as if a predator was staring at him and unconsciously took a step back in fear. When he realized what he did he got embarrassed and spoke angrily.
"Fuck who are you looking at!"
"I'm looking at a dead man." I said in a cold tone and used void stride to appear behind him.
"Wha?!" He didn't manage to finish his sentence because of a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a sword pierced his stomach from behind and went out in front of him.
Without giving the others time, I quickly pulled out my sword and used void stride to go to each one of them and killed them except for the first one who I pierced in a non fatal spot but will still cause him to die in a few minutes if not treated.
After killing them all I returned to the first one that I stabbed who was in the ground in a fetal position while covering his wound and crying.
When he saw me approaching, he miraculously got the strength to get up and run out of nowhere, while saying "Don't! I beg you! please just let me go! I only did that to live!"
I was surprised by this because even though it would take him some time to die, he must have lost the strength to run, but I snapped out of it and caught up to him.
"Where do you think your going? Don't worry as long as you tell me what I want then I'll kill you swiftly like your comrades over there." I said while smiling at him and pointing at his companions.
"Okay! I'll tell you everything you want! Just please kill me fast" The man said, I was again shocked by his behavior.
"Your not gonna ask me to spare you?" I looked at him doubtfully thinking that maybe the fear had made him unable to think straight.
"I wanted to but its not like your going to right?"
"Well yeah... Moving on first question where am I?"
"Huh? You don't know where this is?"
"No I don't."
"When in the deepest part of this forest, the of endless and were in 16th district. Fugazura." He answered.
16th district, fugazura. Well that's new, it wasn't mentioned in the anime but again this is reality not an anime.
"If were in the 16th district then how the hell did you guys manage to stay here without being caught?"
I knew that the closer a district number is to 1 the more guarded and peaceful that district is. And by these bandits large numbers they were bound to attract attention.
"We managed to survive here because of our large numbers and because of the fact that hollows would normally appear here, plus as its name suggest this forest is endless so were able to avoid the shinigamis pursuit by going here and hiding.
"Large numbers? You don't look a lot." I said because there were only 8 of them here and even though their numbers is considered large, they still cant escape the shinigamis chasing them.
He also mentioned that hollows would normally appear here with their weak weapons I doubt that even if all of them were to go up against a hollow since only a zanpakutō can fight hollows
"That's because we are just a part of the real group."
"Then how were you able to go into this deep in the forest without encountering a hollow?"
"Our leaders have the power equivalent to a 10th seat shinigami, they protected us while we were going here."
"What were you guys doing here then?"
"Our group along with groups were ordered to find food and maybe rob some people, they said that they will take 70% percent of our earnings as protection fees, we are also ordered that if we encounter any good looking people we must not kill them and capture them so that they can be sold."
"Okay last question, do you know when the Shin'ō Academy accepts students?"
The man hearing that it was the last question gulped and said stuttering "T-their acc-accepting students o-one month l-later."
One month later huh, well that's good news. The man seeing that I was distracted flashed a cruel smile and took out a dagger and tried to stab me.
*Clang*
But to his horror a hand gripped the blade of the dagger, producing a metal collision sound.
"Ho-how!?" He looked at me terrified.
"Did you think that I didn't see that dagger under your sleeve? Well sorry but I did and now you can die, painfully."
I said while cutting off his legs.
