The next day.
In a concealed house.
"With Shinji's personality, he'll definitely inform others about the news immediately, right?" Recalling the events of last night, Katsuki felt both anxious and hopeful.
If this thing really works out, then he won't have to worry about attributes anymore. He just needs to stay with the Vizored and continuously gain a large number of attributes, and his strength will skyrocket.
"Just having the Six-Rod Light Restraint isn't enough; I need to learn new abilities as soon as possible."
In fact, Katsuki was a bit frustrated. He had spiritual pressure but no Zanpakuto. It was like someone with overwhelming inner energy but lacking powerful martial arts techniques. So, the most urgent task was to acquire more abilities.
Knock, knock, knock—
A knock on the door woke him up annoyingly.
"Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning?" Katsuki complained as he got up and walked to the door.
"Didn't expect me, did you? I came so quickly." As he opened the door, Shinji suddenly sprang out, waving smugly at him.
"Oh my god, can't you avoid giving me such a surprise early in the morning?" Shinji's sudden appearance caught him completely off guard.
"Dumbass, is this the 'Homura Katsuki'you mentioned?" Hiyori, with her arms crossed, scrutinized Katsuki with a skeptical look in her eyes.
"How about it? Not bad, right? His looks are only slightly inferior to mine," Shinji shamelessly praised himself.
"To hell with your looks!" Hiyori, without hesitation, threw a flying shoe at Shinji's face, displaying a full-blown violent side.
"Isn't this too violent? Well, it seems Shinji can take a beating, otherwise, he'd be dead by now." Katsuki watched in amazement as Hiyori raged like an angry mother tiger; she was truly a man's nemesis.
"What's wrong, do you have a problem?" Hiyori glared at him.
"I haven't said anything."
He broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn't afford to provoke this little girl.
"You, I heard you want to get stronger?" Hiyori looked at him and her expression gradually became serious. "We don't just associate with humans casually, so if you want to join the Visored, you have to pass my test."
"Join the Visored? I'm not quite sure what you're talking about."
Katsuki pretended to be clueless, but in reality, he was overjoyed.
After waiting all night, he finally heard these words.
"What? Didn't Shinji explain anything to you?" Hiyori furrowed her brow, then turned to Shinji. "You dumbass, didn't you tell him that we're called Visored?"
"Uh, I didn't say anything!"
Shinji innocently replied.
"Go to hell! Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
She leaped into the air and delivered another flying kick, stepping on Shinji's face with her slipper, subjecting the leader of the Visored to another beating.
"This is too harsh, isn't it? Women are truly the scariest creatures in the world." Katsuki watched Shinji's painful cries with wide eyes and a trembling heart.
Can't mess with her, can't mess with her!
But just as Hiyori was about to strike, a bunch of attributes fell from her body.
[Ding! Detected Strength attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
[Ding! Detected Agility attributes. Do you wish to pick it up?]
[Ding! Detected a new attribute. Do you wish to pick it up?]
...
A series of notification sounds rang out.
Even Katsuki was taken aback.
"Pick them up immediately!"
Seeing the orbs of attributes scattered everywhere, Katsuki made a quick decision.
[Ding! Host gained +10 Strength]
[Ding! Host gained +10 Agility]
[Congratulations, host. You have unlocked a new attribute: Hakuda]
The notification sounds continued.
Apart from their Zanpakuto, the four main 'weapons' in a Shinigami's arsenal are: Zanjutsu, Shunpo, Kido and Hakuda.
Half a month ago, during that unexpected encounter, the two Shinigami had been using Zanpakuto in battle, so they didn't drop the Hakuda attribute.
Katsuki looked at the status panel in anticipation.
[Host]: Homura Katsuki
[Strength]: 328.8
[Agility]: 276
[Reiatsu]: 136
[Hakuda]: 80
Shunpo: 93
Zanjutsu: 84
Spirit: 10
Abilities: ●Six-Rod Light Restraint, ●High-Speed Regeneration
"Indeed, they're Captain-level Shinigami. Just in this short time, my attributes have significantly increased." Katsuki couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Besides the substantial increase in attributes, he now unlocked the Hakuda attribute as well.
It was easy to imagine that once he joined the Visored, his strength would skyrocket like never before.
"Hey, you, what are you daydreaming about? Have you ever heard of the Gotei 13?" After beating up Shinji, Hiyori turned her attention back to Katsuki.
"I haven't heard of it."
Katsuki shook his head.
"Why do you know nothing? Only heaven knows how you have such a high Reiatsu density, it's simply unbelievable."
"Hiyori, I've said it before, Katsuki is a potential talent," Shinji raised an eyebrow.
"Hmph, that's not enough!"
Hiyori snorted, then fell silent for a while, her body suddenly leaped into the air, and she aimed a flying kick at Katsuki's face.
"Hiyori, isn't this a bit much?" Shinji could only comment helplessly.
"Is this your way of welcoming people? It's not very friendly, you know!" Katsuki, however, remained unfazed.
With his greatly increased Agility attribute, he was confident he could dodge this flying kick.
As expected...
Just when Hiyori thought she had him, he agilely sidestepped her and, in a surprise move, flicked her forehead.
"My god, he's too strong!" Katsuki's actions left Shinji dumbfounded.
He admitted that he wouldn't dare to flick Hiyori's forehead.
This was simply too impressive!
