When Yu Mikami first watched the anime, he was very curious.
How exactly does Yoruichi transform into a cat?
Is it a Zanpakutō ability, or some kind of secret technique?
Surely a wizard from another world didn't mistakenly teach Animagus transformation here, right?
While he had the chance, he quickly asked this question.
If it wasn't Yoruichi's Zanpakutō ability and could be learned, he was eager to study it.
Yoruichi looked a bit surprised.
"You actually know about that… Sometimes I really wonder if you're truly from Rukongai."
"Transforming into a cat is indeed a Shihōin Family secret technique."
"However, learning this ability is no simple task."
"Typically, it takes decades or even a century within the family, and it's rare for even one person to master it."
"Being as talented as I am, I started practicing from a young age and only became proficient in the last couple of years."
At this point, Yoruichi wore a somewhat proud expression.
In the history of the Shihōin Family, she was the earliest to master the transformation skill, showcasing her innate talent.
Hearing this, Yu Mikami scratched his head.
He wasn't too worried about the learning difficulty.
With Aizen's help, he was confident he could master even the toughest skills.
But, from what Yoruichi said, it seemed this technique could only be learned by members of the Shihōin Family.
Curious, he asked, "Can someone who isn't from the Shihōin Family learn this technique?"
Yoruichi paused for a moment: "You want to learn it?"
Yu Mikami nodded; there was nothing to hide.
Hearing this, Yoruichi folded her arms, closed her eyes, and tilted her head in thought.
The art of feline transformation, in terms of power, wasn't particularly formidable.
Its value mainly lay in being a "secret technique."
If no one else can do it and only the Shihōin Family can, that spells status and identity!
Even as the current head of the Shihōin Family, she couldn't easily teach a family secret to an outsider.
"How about this: you marry into the family, and considering our relationship, I'll pull some strings to get the elders' approval. Then you'll have access to the Shihōin Family's secret techniques and the divine armory!"
Yu Mikami grinned, "Given my background, marrying into your family would have the elders eating me alive instead of just nodding their approval."
Yoruichi gave him a somewhat surprised look.
"Yu, you're underestimating yourself."
"Do you know who you are now?"
"Currently, it's well-known among the upper echelons of Seireitei that you've become a formal disciple of Lord Yamamoto."
"If it weren't for him spreading the word that no one should bother you, the threshold of your home might have been worn down by the various Nobles!"
"If I could bring you into the Shihōin Family, the elders would probably be overjoyed."
Saying this, Yoruichi couldn't help but smile at the thought of such a scene.
Hearing Yoruichi's words, Yu Mikami was a bit surprised.
The system in Soul Society closely mirrors that of ancient Japan.
In the eyes of the Nobles, no matter how strong Gotei 13 is, they belong to the "samurai class."
No matter how powerful a samurai is, they are still considered tools of the Nobles, who theoretically do not need to show them any regard.
In the original work, the arrogant attitude of Central 46 and their nonsensical decisions stemmed from this.
But who would have thought that Yama-ji would hold such prestige among these aristocrats?
Looking at Yoruichi before him, Yu Mikami adopted a serious expression: "If that's the case, then who am I to refuse? When should we file our marriage registration?"
"Alright, enough with the jokes."
Yoruichi rolled her eyes at him.
Yu Mikami chuckled: "I'm being serious."
Yoruichi gave him a curious glance.
Then she grinned, "What about that harem dream?"
Yu Mikami was taken aback, "Ah, I forgot about that."
Yoruichi couldn't help but laugh and shook her head.
After thinking for a moment, she said to Yu Mikami, "Alright, no more jokes."
"Yu, do you really want to learn the Art of Feline Transformation? Even if it comes with a price?"
Yu Mikami nodded.
The ability to transform into a cat was very appealing.
Unless the conditions were too harsh, he was keen to learn it.
"Alright, then I'll state the conditions."
Yoruichi held up one finger: "First, if I become the 2nd Division Captain, you must join the 2nd Division."
"Second, unless I leave the 2nd Division, you cannot leave it of your own accord."
"Third, you absolutely cannot teach the Art of Feline Transformation to anyone else."
She spoke earnestly, "These are the most lenient conditions I can offer, Yu."
Yu Mikami was slightly surprised.
The first two conditions didn't matter much to him.
Which squad he joined didn't make a difference for him.
With his strength, no matter where he went, he'd be a Seated Officer, living comfortably.
But… not being able to share the skill meant he couldn't rely on Aizen for help.
The Art of Feline Transformation was difficult enough that even Yoruichi found it challenging; could he learn it without Aizen's assistance?
The moment he had this thought, a pang of realization struck him.
Yu Mikami, how could you become so complacent?
Relying on the system's help and leaning on Sōsuke's support, have you completely given up on your own efforts?
Learning a skill—do you really lack confidence without Sōsuke's help?
Yu Mikami took a deep breath.
Under Yoruichi's gaze, he showed a resolute expression: "I can definitely learn it!"
"I accept these conditions, Yoruichi!"
Seeing the sudden change in Yu Mikami's demeanor, Yoruichi was first surprised, then couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
No wonder he's someone I've taken an interest in!
Yu Mikami slightly tilted his head back, as if gazing through the ceiling toward the distant stars and seas.
The system's abilities were ultimately just supportive; how could one rely entirely on Sōsuke because of the system's strength and overlook one's own efforts?
Sōsuke, you truly are a diva!
At that moment, a voice echoed in his ear—
[Detected that the binding target "Sōsuke Aizen" has acquired a new skill, now auto-synchronizing… Synchronization complete!]
[Your understanding of Bakudō has improved, successfully mastering Bakudō #8: Seki, pre-set trigger version!]
Yu Mikami: "..."
I take back what I said earlier.
Forget about hard work; the system is amazing!
Sōsuke, you're an angel!
Yoruichi could never have imagined the internal journey this boy experienced in just a few seconds.
After receiving Yu Mikami's commitment, she began to meticulously explain the Art of Feline Transformation.
Listening to Yoruichi's explanation, Yu Mikami understood why she said the technique was so difficult.
A Shinigami's body is entirely composed of spirit particles.
The principle behind the Art of Feline Transformation is to break down and rearrange the spirit particles that make up the body.
For humans, it's akin to dismantling and rearranging all body cells.
Not to mention the difficulty of breaking down cells… even if you could, the properties of cells vary throughout the body, so how could they possibly be casually rearranged?
How could it be done so easily… hmm?
As he pondered this, Yu Mikami suddenly felt like he understood something.
He raised one hand.
Frowning, he mulled it over for a few seconds.
Then, he saw his hand slowly begin to transform…
