Hayate had his whole world unceremoniously uprooted by the Gotei, yet here he was practicing to better aid them. If someone had asked him where his life might end up leading in the next few decades this would have been the last place, he would have guessed.
“Hey! Rounds over!”
He snapped out of his thoughts to find himself standing above a fallen opponent with his blade primed to strike. Hayate had been in the middle of a sparring match before he had drifted off into his mind. It didn’t bode well for his opponent that he could pull that off on autopilot.
“Yeah yeah… Alright, I’m out of here” Stray arcs of lightning crackled from Raijin as Hayate sheathed the zanpakuto and did just that, despite protests that the session was only half-way through. He had never done well dealing with other people’s time schedules. So he ignored whoever that was and wandered right back out of whatever division’s headquarters he had stumbled into.
Hayate yawned as he passed the gates and found himself back in the Soul Society, the city as bustling and lively as it ever was. He was drawn off to some vague promise of food on the horizon, where he might be able to finally put some of this hard-earned money to use rather than scrounging for whatever he could put together. Hayate hadn't decided yet if this was better than the aimless path he had been following before his ascention to this new role. Before long he was wandering around, lost in thought again.
