Chapter 207 No Reason to Reject
Among the Gotei 13, the 11th Squadron is also a particularly famous one, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most famous squadron.

The reason is simple, it's just because the 11th Division is extremely brave and good at fighting, and is famously powerful among the Gotei 13.

The 11th Division is a unit specifically responsible for combat, and they highly respect the use of force. Most of the team members' Zanpakutō are direct attack type, and do not focus on ghost arts, but they are always active in the front lines. Their existence itself represents the most elite combat power in Soul Society, so much so that there are places in the division's barracks for team members to fight and compete, and the Shinigami in the team often appear in various training venues. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most professional fighters.

The captain of this division is even considered to be the strongest swordsman in the Gotei 13 and even in Soul Society. Therefore, the captains of the 11th Division in successive generations are all named "Kenpachi", and the name itself represents the strongest.

The 11th Division advocates fighting so much that they even break the rules, allowing others to challenge anyone in the team at any time. The winner can replace the loser, and as long as they are strong enough, they can rise to the top overnight, without having to wait for promotion like other divisions.

In other words, as long as you can defeat the third seat of the eleventh team, you can become the third seat of the eleventh team. As long as you can defeat the vice-captain of the eleventh team, you can become the vice-captain of the eleventh team.

Naturally, once you are able to defeat the captain of the 11th Division, you will not only become the captain of the 11th Division, but you will also be able to inherit the name "Kenpachi" and become the strongest swordsman of the contemporary era.

This is how Kenpachi Zaraki rose to power.

He was not originally a Shinigami in the Gotei 13, but like Aize, he was born in the Zaraki District in the 80th district of Kitarurukongai, where the public security was the most chaotic. He was originally a nameless civilian, but later took "Zaraki" as his surname. Since his youth, he has shown an extraordinary warlike nature and is extremely bloodthirsty.

He had never attended the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts, so he had never received formal Shinigami training. However, by chance, he obtained the Asauchi from a Shinigami who died in the line of duty, and took it for himself, thus gaining his own Zanpakutō.

With the help of this picked-up Zanpakutō, Zaraki fought with countless villains and fierce men. He didn't know how many people he killed, nor how many times he was cut by others, but he enjoyed it.

Therefore, he was very powerful in combat. Although he had not received formal combat training and his sword and knife skills were extremely crude, he made up for his lack of skills with his naturally strong spiritual pressure and warlike personality, and gradually made a name for himself.

Later, in order to fight against others, Zaraki traveled across several regions, constantly fighting between life and death, while meeting a group of equally warlike people, and came to the Soul Society.

After hearing about the 11th Division and the story of "Kenpachi", he directly challenged the predecessor Kenpachi and eventually killed him, replacing his position, becoming the current captain of the 11th Division and having his current name - Kenpachi Zaraki.

It can be said that he spent his entire life in battles and fights. As an extremely brave and warlike battle maniac, he was not only admired by many officers and soldiers in the 11th Division, but some people even often referred to the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 as the Zaraki Team to show their respect for Kenpachi Zaraki.

His bellicosity did not diminish even after he became the captain of the 11th Division, but instead became even stronger.

Now, there is no doubt that Aize has been targeted by this battle maniac, which has aroused his warlike mentality.

There was no way. After hearing that Aize, like him, was from the Zaraki District and was a super genius who was detected to have second-class spiritual power upon admission, Zaraki Kenpachi had already wanted to meet him. It was only because Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni secretly blocked him that he was unable to meet Aize.

Now, not only did Aize appear himself, he also demonstrated his strength to kill an Achukas-level Hollow with one sword. How could Kenpachi Zaraki possibly sit still?

Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't really care whether Aize really has that level of strength. He just wants to challenge him and see if he is worthy of the title.

It would be best if there is one, but he wouldn't be disappointed if not. After all, he is a fellow villager who can make it from the Zaraki District. No matter how bad he is, he can't be that bad, right?
For this reason, Kenpachi Zaraki stood up and raised questions, contrary to his usual practice. It was not for anything else, but just to have a reason to fight with Aize.

"You won't be afraid, will you?" Zaraki Kenpachi grinned and said, "I know better than anyone what kind of guy can come out of that place. You will definitely not refuse the battle that is sent to you, right?"

While he was speaking, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure had already been released, pressing down on Aize like a mountain.

The spiritual pressure was so terrifying that it caused the space to shake continuously, making people feel that their vision had turned into black and white and was blurry.

Under this spiritual pressure, although Aize was not suppressed, he sighed silently in his heart.

"Why are there such battle maniacs everywhere?"

First there was the student council president of Kairyuu Seventh Academy in the world of School of Warfare, then it was Wally and Cao Cao in the world of Devil's High School, and now there is the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki. Why is it that no matter which world I go to, I am always entangled by this battle maniac?
Couldn't they have some interest in something other than fighting?

but……

"I really have no reason to refuse."

Aize glanced at the silent Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and the other captains who were watching, and immediately knew what they were thinking.

Although they did not all doubt their own strength, they also wanted to see how powerful the most talented Shinigami in a thousand years actually was after only studying at the Maou Spiritual Academy for half a year.

If Aize can demonstrate enough strength, his status in the minds of these captains will definitely be different.

This is not a trivial matter.

As mentioned before, Soul Society is a world with extremely strict hierarchies, and the distinction between superior and inferior people is extremely clear and distinct.

From a broad perspective, the Shinigami living in Seireitei are superior people, and the spirits living in Rukongai are inferior people. From a narrow perspective, the strong are superior people, and the weak are inferior people.

In the Gotei 13, strength is particularly important. Only with sufficient strength can one become the captain, vice-captain or chief officer.

Then, those with lower status must assist those with higher status, those with lower seats must obey those with higher seats, and even the deputy captain must serve the captain at his beck and call. If he is unwilling to obey, he may even be executed in serious cases.

This is a world where once a subordinate makes a mistake, he will do as he is told, even if he is ordered to commit suicide on the spot.

Even though Aize seems to be living a comfortable and relaxed life in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, it is because everyone knows that he has a bright future and will become a superior person sooner or later. Otherwise, the aristocratic students in the academy would not let a lowly person from Rukongai stir up trouble in the academy.

Abarai Renji is already considered a pretty good person, but apart from Kira Izuru, Hinamori Momo, who also came from Rukongai, and his childhood sweetheart Rukia, is there anyone else willing to approach him and be friends with him?

No.

Because those students who came from aristocratic families looked down on those who came from Rukongai, even though Abarai Renji performed so outstandingly in the kendo class, they still looked at him as if they were looking at a wild dog that was very good at biting.

Why would so many teachers and even the dean of the Shinyang Spiritual Arts Academy take the initiative to find Aize in private, ask about his well-being, and give him special treatment?

The reason is simple. It is because Aize has the potential to become a captain-level figure in the Gotei 13, and they think they can form a good relationship with him.

If I were just a genius, even if I graduated early and joined the Gotei 13, I would inevitably become a person serving the captains.

However, it would be different if I could show strength that is not inferior to theirs.

"My purpose in this world is simple, which is to live a wonderful life as much as possible."

"So, as a commoner in Soul Society, a soul from Rukongai, what could be more worthy of being talked about than joining the Gotei 13 and becoming a captain-level figure?"

“What’s an Achucas?”

"Since we're going to fight, of course we should beat the captain down. That would be exciting!"

The strategy of playing the pig and eating the tiger does not suit me.

In order to live a wonderful life, your performance should be as outstanding as possible.

Otherwise, why would he unreservedly display his spiritual power, which even some captains did not have, in the entrance examination of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy?

Isn't it just to become famous in Soul Society?
Thinking of this, Aize met Kenpachi Zaraki's belligerent gaze and suddenly smiled.

The smile was sharp.

"Let's go somewhere else, Captain Zaraki." Aize said, "There's simply not enough room for us to maneuver here."

Hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki laughed out loud in ecstasy.

"No problem! I can do it anywhere!"

As long as he can fight, even in a swamp or in a mud, Kenpachi will enjoy it!

"Boom!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni knocked down the wooden stick for the third time, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Captain Nirvana." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said expressionlessly, "You arrange the venue."

"Understood." Kurotsuchi Mayuri shrugged and accepted the offer. "This is a rare opportunity. Let me collect some captain-level combat data as well."

The captains looked at each other, and finally they all became a little excited.

What kind of sparks will be created when two fighting geniuses from the same Zanmu District collide with each other?

Some of them couldn't wait to see it.
