Urahara Kisuke left the room hastily, preparing the items Aaron had requested.
Meanwhile, Hirako Shinji and the others remained in the room, exchanging nostalgic glances with their teacher. However, the calm atmosphere was soon disrupted by a surge of Reiatsu from behind them.
The Reishi chains binding Kuna Mashiro, Yadomaru Lisa, and Sarugaki Hiyori shattered under the immense pressure of their escalating Reiatsu.
"Quick! Protect the teacher!"
"Sensei, stand back!"
"Call Urahara! Their Hollowfication is worsening!"
"Tessai! Restrain them with Kidō!"
The group sprang into action, their expressions grave as they observed the three individuals succumbing further to Hollowfication. Having experienced Hollowfication themselves, they understood its destructive nature—how it stripped away reason and humanity.
Despite knowing Aaron's strength, Hirako and the others instinctively positioned themselves between their teacher and the approaching danger.
Urahara Kisuke, sensing the chaotic Reiatsu, immediately abandoned the preparations and returned, disappearing in a flash step.
Aaron observed his students with a mix of pride and exasperation. Though touched by their determination to protect him, he couldn't ignore the intriguing transformation of the three before him. Their faces were now partially covered by Hollow masks, an unsettling yet fascinating sight.
Tessai Tsukabishi quickly chanted:
"Iron sand wall, monk-shaped tower, scorching iron glow!
Stand firm, but remain silent!
Bakudō No. 75: Gochūtekkan!"
Five massive iron pillars descended with a resounding crash, temporarily trapping the rampaging trio.
However, Kuna Mashiro, now fully consumed by her Hollow instincts, let out a feral roar and lunged at the restraints. Her immense physical strength made her a force to be reckoned with, and the iron pillars soon crumbled under her relentless assault.
Hirako Shinji and the others prepared to counter her advance, but a sudden surge of Hollow energy erupted within them. White, paste-like Reiatsu spilled from their eyes, mouths, and noses, forming Hollow masks over their faces.
"No… not again!"
"Sensei, get away!"
"I-I can't control it…"
Their anguished cries filled the room as Hollowfication overtook them. Aaron sighed, shaking his head at the unfolding chaos. He had hoped to observe the phenomenon calmly, but his students had fully lost control, their feral instincts now directed at him.
"Roar!"
The transformed Hirako and his companions charged toward Aaron, their Zanpakutōs forgotten as they lashed out like wild beasts.
Urahara Kisuke arrived just in time to witness the scene. Without hesitation, he raised his hands and chanted:
"Heaven's proud son, a wall of iron!
Dragon walk, lion roar, tiger pounce, wolf howl!
Seal the world before it crumbles!
Bakudō No. 81: Dankū!"
A translucent barrier formed to shield Aaron from the attackers.
"Tessai! Use your Bankai to restrain them!" Urahara called out.
"No, protect the teacher first!" Tessai retorted, his voice filled with urgency.
Before either could act further, an overwhelming surge of Reiatsu filled the air. It was so intense that even Urahara and Tessai felt their hearts falter. Turning toward the source, they saw Aaron standing calmly amidst the chaos.
With a single motion, Aaron shattered Urahara's protective barrier and moved with astonishing speed, engaging the Hollowfied students in close combat. Using only Hakuda (hand-to-hand combat), he incapacitated them effortlessly, leaving them momentarily unable to move.
Urahara and Tessai stood frozen, their expressions a mix of shock and awe. They vividly remembered how difficult it had been to subdue just one Hollowfied ally in the past. Yet, their teacher had handled all eight without drawing his Zanpakutō.
As the students began to stir, Aaron leaped gracefully into the air. Drawing his Zanpakutō, he murmured:
"Devour, Taotie"
The blade in his hand transformed, radiating an aura of hunger as it absorbed the surrounding Reiatsu and Reishi with voracious intensity.
The Hollowfied students, now fully recovered, let out deafening roars and charged at Aaron again, their movements blurring into streaks of shadow.
