Chapter 1109 Frozen Solid
With the two of the 'dead' Arrancars frozen, the Shinigamis didn't know what to do but the only thing sure for now is that they didn't want to approach Serafall in fear of being frozen too.
Though before they could process everything that was happening, the real door to Hell that was adorned with two skeletons suddenly appeared.
Serafall frowned and prepared her Magic again while the Shinigamis also prepared for another fight. But contrary to what they were expecting, the ice that was holding Zommari began shaking and the tattoos of chains on his body began materializing and connecting him to some place beyond the door.
It didn't take long before the ice started falling apart and freeing the shaking Arrancar as he's being dragged by the chains towards the door.
Shinji's Hollow mask materialized and at the same time, he pointed his fist at him, charging his Cero.
"I advise you not to do it, Captain Hirako." All of a sudden, Shinji heard Mayuri's voice behind him, "Anyone who interferes with Hell's Judgement may be punished along with the sinner."
Without turning around, Shinji asked, "Are you saying what's happening right now is Hell's Judgement?"
"I can't be too sure... But are you willing to risk it?"
Shinji watched Zommari get dragged with black chains around him and he didn't let go of his hand until he saw the door close. Shinji sighs, dematerializing his Hollow mask, and taking back the charged Cero, "How annoying..."
Soon, the crimson door slowly became transparent until it completely disappeared.
Mayuri ignored the frustrated Shinji and approached Serafall who was staring at the remaining Arrancar. And before he could even speak Serafall said, "It'll cost you more if you want him."
Mayuri stayed silent for a moment before saying, "I'll owe you one."
Serafall turned to him with an interested look, "Hooh? You're willing to take that risk?"
"That's how precious this specimen is. But only if you can keep him here until I can make sure that he won't be able to escape."
"The one who escaped went through a certain ritual before activating those chains. I think as long as he's frozen here, he won't be able to do anything." The wand on Serafall's hand disappeared before she continued, "I'll set up a barrier around to keep the Humans away but that'll only be effective for 3 days before they start flocking here after finding out something is weird. As you've probably already noticed, my techniques are visible to Humans."
Mayuri nodded in satisfaction, "Three days... That's more than enough."
Serafall then handed a card to Mayuri that contained her address. The latter received and instantly memorized what was written on it before destroying it.
"Well then, I'll be waiting." As a final surprise, Serafall demonstrated a Teleportation Magic and disappeared without any further words.
After seeing that, Mayuri took out his own phone and dialed a number. A second later, it was answered, "Akon, go to the Great Archive and confirm the laws regarding teleportation." He didn't wait for his reply and directly disconnected the call. It is not that he wanted to prosecute Serafall for her use of teleportation but he wanted to confirm if laws surrounding it only concern 'Kidou' and any other technique that uses Spiritual Power.
After confirming it, Mayuri would want to use it himself, 'I look forward to our next meeting.'
Ignoring the entire 5th Division doing their work, Mayuri focused his sights on the frozen Arrancar.

Since the academy grounds were just along the eastern gate, Ophis and Lilith reached the place where they were enrolling relatively fast. Along the way, they curiously looked around and the Shinigami leading them attributed this to them seeing how different it is inside the Seireitei compared to the place where they came from.
After a few more turns, the Shinigami leading them went up to a building and knocked on the door, "Instructor Ounabara, we're here."
"Come in."
The Shinigami turned to the 'twins' and gestured to them, "Follow me."
Ophis and Lilith silently nodded at him after he entered the building which looks like a dojo.
In the middle of the room was a bald middle aged man wearing glasses sitting in a seiza position. Unlike most of the Shinigami they came across, the man was wearing a grey hakama and black haori.
The man called Instructor Ounabara immediately eyed Ophis and Lilith and was immediately surprised. He tried to intimidate them but it looks like it only went over their heads, "I received your message. You are saying that they are capable of releasing their Reiatsu?"
"Yes, Instructor." The Shinigami nodded, "I'm not too sure but I think their Reiatsu is at Lieutenant level."
The instructor went quiet for a moment and rubbed his chin before saying, "Understood. Thank you for your hard work. Leave this to me and return to your post."
"Yes!" The Shinigami bowed deeply and walked backward before turning around the door and immediately leaving.
As soon as he's gone, the instructor continued, "Well then, Nice to meet you. Ounabara Gengorou, the Chief Instructor for the Class 1 Year 1."
"Ophis."
"Lilith."
The two also briefly introduced themselves.
Gengorou didn't mind their strange names and directly asked, "Who taught you how to release your Reiatsu?"
"We learned it on our own." Ophis gave an answer that Kisuke prepared for them.
"How?"
"We felt we could move something inside our bodies and tried moving it." This time, Lilith gave him the answer.
"Show it to me."
Ophis and Lilith didn't say anything and did exactly the same thing as they did when they were outside and just enough to impress anyone watching them.
The instructor went quiet for a moment before saying, "If you can learn that on your own, instead of six years, you'll be able to graduate within a year. I hope you two didn't lie to me."
Gengorou thought that their potential is very obvious, however, he was also worried that this could have a detrimental effect when they handle an Asauchi since a Shinigami's blade develops alongside their owner, 'I'd have to ask for special permission for Asauchi. Though I don't think anyone would disagree with the Seireitei needing more talented individuals to replenish their ranks.'
