Making sure no one is around, he slips between some of the shelves and into the forbidden section. He snuck into here now and then to learn stuff that would help him fight evil such as hollows, but was considered taboo by Soul Society. He once again feels the need to gain an edge to grow stronger, after what happened against the Menos on Earth. He pulls random books from the shelves until he finds a new one, settles down in the area between two shelves so he is out of sight, and starts reading. He was far deeper in here than he had gone before, and so he has come across an entirely new topic. The book spoke of Jokaisho Shards, remnants of a powerful jewel that could create evolution in spiritual beings, making them stronger. The book also mentions that it is considered taboo in Soul Society to use it, and using one will have you exiled from Soul Society. But, if he can gain the power to defeat more powerful hollows, he will gladly suffer exile. The book, near the end, actually lists a few known locations of these shards. He slips the book back into its spot, slips out of the forbidden section, slips out of the academy, back to the fifth division, grabs his few things from his bunk, and then slips through the Senkaimon to Earth.

Though the studies with these two have been great and both of them have accepted to calling her Sara. Yes to some dismay, she did teach them not to but if she gave permission for them to do so, it means she sees them as good friends. "Remember though, Only call me by Sara when we are both by ourselves and not on duty. When on duty address me as Vice Captain Ren, by my last name. Japanese tradition can be found across these books so even that would raise it on more of a respecting level if you wanted." Sadly she is running out of time, her mission is rather time sensitive due to a rogue running around who knows what they are doing. "Well." Sara puts away the book as she would step down the stair case"I am done studying for now, i must go take of a matter in my division. Its important and i won't have time to talk along with i would request no distractions. Don't swoop by please." Sara didn't want to lie to them but she can't risk them going to the 13th Division and start asking where she went. If they do and she comes back injured, she will most likely say a hollow hurt her bad but got killed. She then heads off to the Senkaimon.

Unmei waves at Sara as she leaves. So much for getting help from her. That's alright, at least he can work with Ambrose. "So, what should we do now?" he asks his new friend. He skims through the books and frowns. "Hey, I'm barely literate, mind helping me read this junk?"
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 8:34 am
"Yes Vice Captain Ren." Ambrose Says feeling as if his friend was back on duty and wanting to remain respectful. "I hope all goes well." He says to her disappearing back. He then turns his attention to Unmei. "It is not junk their is a lot that can be... uh I am beginning to sound like the ladies at the orphanage." He snickers at himself and moves over to assist his friend. Thinking that it was almost time to go visit the old orphanage again. "Sure Unmei. What are we studying?" He asks as he sits next to the other Shinigami. He also wonders if the academy has anything that those who are illiterate can use with out embarrassing themselves by admitting that they can not read, or can barely read. Surely not everyone was comfortable asking for help though asking would seem to be the easiest way. He shoves away the thoughts and looks at the book that Unmei was trying to read.
Unmei sighs with frustration as he turns the book toward him. "They're usin' mighty big words 'n stuff here. Mind helpin' me break this down?" he requests. Before either man could say anything else his phone starts ringing. Frowning he answers it, "Moshi moshi ... Yes, sir? If that's what you wish, sir. No, sir, it will not be an issue. I am training at the academy ... You want me to stay here how long? No, sir, I dun mean it like that. I actually would be thrilled for the chance. Yes, sir. Thank you for letting me know." He hangs up and sighs, "Some jackass decided to try to knock off some noble chick by the name of Beller Rose I think. Anyway, the head of my clan says stay put, get comfortable, and be prepared for investigators to ask plenny questions."

"Sure thing." Ambrose says as he looks at the book but before he can start reading it Unmeis phone starts ringing. So he waits quietly while his friends talks on the phone. "Weird someone attacks some noble and you get questioned." Ambrose frowns deeply as he wishes that Sara had stayed a little longer. "Well if need be I can vouch for you being here training with me and we can say that their was a Vice captain here with us until she was called away. Though I hope we will not have to I have never had a good encounter with interrogator's. But back to the book." Ambrose turns his attention back to the book and reads it to Unmei pointing at the words as he speaks them so that Unmei would be able to recognize them later. And explains any words that he may not understand. Though his mind keeps returning to the noble woman who was attacked. He did not know anyone named Beller Rose. Though the name Beller wants to make him laugh. "Maybe it is Belle Rose or Bellor Rose or Bella Rose not Beller Rose." He thinks still not knowing anyone by that name that he is aware of. He had met many other kids at the orphanage who changed their name after adoption.
Unmei nods and shrugs, "I have no idea if I said the name right. Western names elude me." A thread of anxiety is steadily growing within him. "Interrogations ... sound terrifying. If Mitsuki is anything to judge by," he comments. "She's my clan's enforcer and third seat of Sixth Division. One moment she can be friendly and sweet, but that second that somebody gives her cause she is like an angered hornet that you can't just avoid. From what I have heard from Hikari, what she intends on doing she will do and any information she wants had better be volunteered or so help her ... that pretty little hornet will sting the s**t outa ya."

Ambrose frowns as he listens to Unmei. Then grins impishly."I know lets go train in the ninth division." He says then looks back at his companion still smiling as he waits a moment for Unmei to react to his joke. "I am kidding. Oh crap I am suppose to write an article for the paper." He runs around from bookcase to bookcase franticly trying to figure out what to write. Then laughs and grabs everything he can find on interrogators."I know I will write a story on the fearsomeness of the interrogators. Some from history and some current and even interview some of the interrogators. What do you think Unmei?" He then grins sheepishly looking at his friend. He has a short historical article towards the back of the Seireitei Newspaper.
Unmei gives Ambrose a worried look at first when he suggests that they leave and head towards Division Nine. Before he can protest Ambrose admits that he is joking. He sighs and relaxes somewhat. "Sure, why not? I know mostly just rumors and hearsay, though," he admits and shrugs. "I guess it doesn't hurt to look it up, though."

Ambrose grins at Unmei "That is alright." He says grinning as he sits back at the table "Just let me know when you need more help or want to go to another area of the academy. Gathering the information I need should not take me long. And distractions are always welcome when I am gathering info." He grins and then stares at his pile. Then shoves it aside helping Unmei was more important at the moment. At least he had decided what he would write about.
Unmei sits down across from Ambrose and starts flipping through the course book. "So ... I guess ... I can't pick. Could you pick for me? I dun even have any idea what most of this says," he sighs with frustration. He is tired of being the big dumb brute. He wants to learn more so that he can live up to his new family's reputation and his division's expectations. He may be under educated but he is pretty smart and a quick study. It is just his self confidence is in the dirt somewhere halfway to the bedrock. Obey orders. That is something he had drilled into his head growing up. Do as you are told. That too. Thinking was something that was actively discouraged by the point of pain. "I am sorry for being so stupid."

Ambrose looks at Unmei with a slight frown. But he was used to helping the kids at the orphanage and thought or hoped he could help Unmei. All of a sudden he would slam both hands on the table angrily. "You are not stupid Unmei now stop it with that line." Ambrose snaps stunning himself. He then closes his eyes and takes a deep calming breath and continues in a much calmer breath. "You are not dumb, stupid, useless or worthless. You were taken in as a retainer by a noble family after all. Man that should count as something and on top of that you reached the fourth seat of Seventh Division no idiot is going to reach that... well maybe in eleventh. But you said you grew up in the eightieth district you had to learn to live thru whatever that means and adjust as you need to. I however grew up on Earth not even knowing what or who I am for reasons I do not know yet. He studies his friend a moment hoping to not push to far. "We both have a lot to learn and when we learn that their will still be things we do not know and may never know. But we learn what we need to to survive and get stronger and better." He then grabs the text Unmei was looking at and walks over to one of the librarians returning a few minutes later. The text was one written for tose with low level reading capabilities. He also carries over books that would help Unmei to read better. "Here lets start with Chiyudo #1: Choryoku Kaiho" He would then walk Unmei thru the kido and even show him how it looked when in use. "Yawarakaku fureru, Tamashī o yawarageru! Chiyudo #1 Choryoku Kaiho!" They watched as the kido worked as it was suppose to. Once done Ambrose looks at Unmie and smiles slightly. "Your turn to try it and um sorry for snapping at you."
Ambrose's words and actions were startling enough that Unmei's eyes flew open as he jumped and recoiled backwards. He barely manages to squeak in his deep voice, "Ye-yes ... I mean okay." His heart is in his throat. He had not expected this sudden flare of temper. What's more is that he did not expect to be scolded for debasing himself as he was so used to apologizing for any short coming he has, real or perceived. His attention is only on Ambrose as he shows him how to use a healing kidou. "I see." he says as he commits it to memory. Ambrose soon after showing him how to use it gives his own apology. "I did not mean to anger you, my friend." He looks a bit pensive but soon repeats the words ordered. "Yawarakaku fureru, Tamashī o yawarageru! Chiyudo #1 Choryoku Kaiho!"

Ambrose grins watching his friend practice the healing spell. "I know it was not your intent Unmei I have just seen to many people who beat themselves down or someone beats them down and lost my temper. I should not have reacting like that with the kids at the orphanage that I grew up in would have them shutting down on me." Ambrose leans back in the chair that he is sitting in and looks at the ceiling for a moment. Before turning back to Unmei. "You learned that spell quickly it seems. Do you want to practice it more or move on to the next one. Though that seems to be the only healing kido either of us can learn. Their are also Bougyoudo which is supportive kidou. Then Bakudou which are binding kidou. Also their is Hadou which are offensive kidou. Then we have Flash step which would be wise for both of us to learn and white prostration. Sorry if that is to much at once but what do you want to learn next?" He asks getting back up to return the book on chiyudo and so he could get the next one. Their were a lot of kidou that the two of them could learn. "You do not have to learn them all I just want to just in case I need one more than another or something. And to be truthful their is a couple I would like to use on a friend of mine if I ever see him again... doubt I ever will though."

Unmei shrugs, "I'll just follow your lead, Ambrose." He honestly has no idea what to think or expect. Besides, he doesn't know what there is available to learn. "I am game for whatever." He wonders what sort of skill he will learn next.
