Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 131 130: You are the senior

"Relax your shoulders."

"You can't tense up too much."

"Imagine myself stepping on fragile eggs..."

"The center of gravity is evenly distributed throughout the sole of the foot, so the movements don't deform too much, but there is a subtle sense of restraint."

"Mastering the correct manners and exuding the aura of a noble person is also a necessary part of practice."

"Mr. Arima is still a little unskilled in this area."

The neatly dressed middle-aged woman folded her hands in front of her.

She was kneeling on the corridor, looking at the breathless Arima Shizuya with a smile.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, I have no experience in this area before. It is still a little difficult to understand the meaning of it all at once."

so?
"As long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to adapt."

No no no...

According to normal context, shouldn't we say "even this is great" at this time?

Although it was just walking, the force was applied in different places, and I was not very experienced...

Arima Shizuka was also looking quite 'awkward' at this moment.

If possible, I would like to take a rest...

But during the more than one month of getting along, the parties have completely understood each other's temper.

She is a middle-aged woman who looks gentle but is actually very unyielding.

She might even have some kind of relationship with the Kuchiki family, but nothing more specific is known.

All I can say is that aristocratic education is indeed unique.

Practice as soon as you open your eyes every day.

From the way they eat, to the tone of their voice, to the accessories they wear, to the changes in their eyes and expressions...

There is so much to learn.

Basically, it can be said that as soon as you open your eyes every day, someone will start to guide you in doing things.

Arima Jing even wondered if these people even had some rules for going to the toilet...

The reason why I failed to remind myself now might just be out of consideration for "not scaring the newcomers"?

But no matter what.

This novel and awkward experience really made Arima Shizuka feel "burnt on the outside and tender on the inside".

Too elegant, aristocratic.

I'm afraid I won't forget it even after a hundred years.

While he was complaining about these things in his mind, next to Arima Shizuya, Kuchiki Byakuya with a serious expression was carefully stepping on the so-called noble steps.

Keep going back and forth in this room.

Arima Shizuka was also looking at the other person's back. His training suit was completely soaked with sweat.

Even the curvature of the back is revealed at this moment.

It can be said to be 'sweating profusely'.

"Mr. Kuchiki's concentration is commendable. Mr. Arima, please emulate him."

Although it's not something too extreme.

But now just hearing it makes me feel ashamed.

Is this the so-called aristocratic aura? What does it mean to win without fighting?... With a slight sigh in his heart, Arima Jing also sat up.

Because I am a novice, I am allowed to take a short break when I feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, only at times like this can I observe Byakuya Kuchiki's actions from the perspective of a bystander.

——This guy.

You really work hard.

It's not a polite perfunctory response, but a sincere emotion.

Because they have been involved in it, they understand best how complicated it is.

'This guy can still persist.'

Should we say that he is indeed a true descendant of the nobility? It is somewhat touching.

"Okay, Mr. Arima. We should continue..."

The other party seemed to want to say something, but before he could open his mouth, the timer placed next to him rang.

The other party's tone was slightly tense, and then he raised his head as if he was relieved, and spoke to Kuchiki Byakuya who was just about to turn around.

"Mr. Kuchiki, today's etiquette training ends here."

With a thud, Kuchiki Byakuya fell to the ground like a tree with its roots pulled out. At this moment, he was just like Arima Shizuya...

Keep breathing heavily.

"Then please give me more instructions tomorrow."

Over there, Byakuya Kuchiki didn't even have the strength to utter a word, so Arima Shizuka could only smile awkwardly and say goodbye politely.

"Um...Excuse me, could you spare a day to rest sometimes?"

The other person was packing his bags, the smile on his face not diminishing at all.

"I'm sorry to have to obey."

Wow! I've been training intensively for more than a month, and now I can't take it anymore!

Arima Shizuka, who had completely given up, followed suit and lay down on the tatami.

Listening to the footsteps outside gradually fading away, it took me more than ten seconds to adjust my breathing.

Then he struggled to get up and went to the side of Byakuya Kuchiki who was not far away.

"how do you feel?"

"……very tired."

But it's not time to relax yet.

In order to become the head of the Kuchiki family, it is impossible for Byakuya Kuchiki to have the idea of 'resting' after going through such hardships.

Standing up, Byakuya Kuchiki pushed the hair that fell on his forehead back behind his ears, with a serious and earnest expression.

He also said this to Arima Shizuka who was beside him.

"Arima-kun, could you please practice with me today?"

Although they were not familiar enough to trust each other after a month of getting along, they still trained together every day...

There is some subtle sense of tacit understanding between the two.

At this moment, Arima Shizuya was also well aware of what Byakuya Kuchiki was hinting at.

Again.

The person involved couldn't help but reveal an expression as if he had a toothache.

"But it's almost time for dinner, right? Don't you want to go wash up and get ready first?"

The etiquette training itself is scheduled for the afternoon class, and usually, by the time it is over, the sun is about to set.

It's really not good for you to be so curt.

Dabai, please relax a little once in a while. I feel ashamed of what you have done.

Just looking at the other person's serious expression, Arima Shizuka could only pat the back of her head helplessly.

Then he let out a long sigh.

Forget it. No matter how much I persuade him, he won’t listen.

"Got it. I'll practice with you for a while then."

After a brief pause, Arima Shizuka also raised her right hand and placed her index finger to her mouth.

"But not for too long. After all, I'm already very hungry..."

Kuchiki Byakuya was wiping his face, and at this moment he suddenly showed a happy expression.

"No problem, I won't waste too much of Arima-kun's time!"

"No, it's better not to say this..."

"why?"

"Because you took away the few roles that others had."

Selectively ignoring these daily complaints, Arima Shizuka reached out and pulled Byakuya up.

The two simply washed their faces in the courtyard, and then simultaneously untied the cloth strips used to tie their hair.

It's not a conventional action, it's just a subconscious action.

After all, considering what to do next, if I let these long hair fall down and block my vision... it would be a bit stupid. I unbuttoned the strip of cloth in my hand and wrapped it around my head to close it.

Arima Shizuka was also gazing at the sunset in the sky, and took the opportunity to stretch herself.

"By the way, it's been a week straight, don't you want to take a break or something?"

Looking back, it probably happened just last week.

I don't know what came to Byakuya Kuchiki's mind, but he suddenly mentioned wanting to compete with me.

Honestly.

Arima Shizuka was somewhat reluctant at first.

After all, this matter basically brings him zero benefits...

'This guy's instant step is not as good as Yoruichi, and the other three major systems are now even more incomparable to ordinary captain-level characters.'

Not even Kuchiki Byakuya.

At this time, even if Xiumu Yinling came to practice with me, unless he had murderous intentions, I would definitely not feel any pressure at all.

But I didn't expect that the other party would be so persistent.

The person involved didn't know about it until later...it turned out that this was something Kuchiki Ginling let slip when he was expressing his feelings one time.

"Arima Shizuya's ability far exceeds yours."

Although it doesn't cause any jealousy.

But as the next generation heir of the Kuchiki family, letting him "fall behind" is somewhat murderous...

Unable to bear the harassment, Arima Shizuka finally agreed.

It is also natural.

Witnessed by Kuchiki Ginrei, Dabai was beaten to a pulp by Arima Shizuya...

After all, to this day, Arima Shizuya's four major systems have already been successfully cultivated.

Compared to Dabai who is still receiving education, the strength of the two sides is naturally not on the same level.

"Um... let me ask you one last time."

Twisting his neck, Arima Jing said helplessly.

"This is much more tiring than etiquette training. Do you really want to continue today?"

Kuchiki Byakuya's voice came quickly, and the other party seemed to respond without thinking.

"Learn more from those who are capable. This is also what Lord Yinling taught. Of course, if it is inconvenient for Arima-kun, that is another matter."

not to mention.

Kuchiki Byakuya smiled faintly at this moment.

"Master Yinling is not in the team today, so dinner can be postponed a little bit."

ha?
Arima Shizuka also showed a rather helpless expression.

"This is considered exercising privilege, right? If people find out, you'll be punished, right?"

"Of course, Arima-kun won't tell anyone."

Helpless, Arima Jing could only sigh.

Now that things have come to this, how could I possibly back down?
After tying all her long hair behind her head, Arima Shizuka shook her head lightly, feeling her scalp being slightly tightened.

Half turned at this moment.

He saw Kuchiki Byakuya taking two wooden swords from the side wall.

At this moment, he was handing over the sword in his left hand and placing it in front of Arima Shizuya.

Nodding slightly to show her agreement, Arima Shizuka also reached out and held it in her hand.

The wooden sword feels thick and smooth, and you can feel it the moment you touch it...it is made with great precision.

It is definitely not comparable to the cheap stuff in the Maou Spiritual Academy.

Holding a wooden sword, Arima Shizuka also retreated four steps.

While moving, the boy's breathing was also adjusted slowly and steadily.

The originally relaxed expression restrained a little.

The exhausted temperament disappeared, and was replaced by an indescribable feeling of oppression.

Arima Shizuya turned half sideways.

sand……

The tabi rubbed against the gravel underneath, making a crisp sound.

at the same time.

Kuchiki Byakuya, who was standing on the opposite side, had a tense expression and was in a charging posture.

With the knife held in one hand, Arima Shizuya's expression became calm, and even his tone showed no trace of sadness or joy.

"Then please do it."

A slightly less noticeable bit of knowledge.

When two sides are sparring or confronting each other, the side that initiates the attack is usually the one that needs guidance.

Although it makes people feel emotional, it also makes people sigh.

But at this moment, Arima Shizuka has indeed become a de facto "senior".

'Is it time for me to start teaching people?'

Time flies so fast...

Taking a deep breath, Kuchiki Byakuya, who was on the opposite side, shouted loudly.

"Please give me your guidance, Arima-kun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuchiki Byakuya's figure flashed.

It was as if the whole person was distorted by the air and disappeared in an instant.

Arima Shizuya did not react. He just swept around calmly and crossed the wooden sword in his hand behind him.

bump!
Although it was wooden objects colliding, the explosion was equally loud.

Arima Shizuka also turned her head and saw that Kuchiki Byakuya had disappeared behind her.

"The Shihouin family's flash step is a surprise attack type of use, it can't be used indiscriminately... without the sudden touch, its effect will be greatly reduced."

It's rare that he speaks in such a teaching tone.

At this moment, Arima Shizuya took a half step back, turned sideways... and twisted the posture of the wooden sword, and Kuchiki Byakuya's sword was also moved to the side.

Not good.

If the posture collapses, the flaw will be huge.

He retracted his attack in time and tried to create distance again.

But Arima Jing didn't give the other party this opportunity.

A ghostly figure came up and flashed three cold rays in succession, causing Kuchiki Byakuya to widen his eyes.

Right wrist, left shoulder, temple...

It can be blocked, it’s not a very tricky angle!
Raise your hand, holding a knife.

With a breath caught in his throat, Kuchiki Byakuya attacked left and right.

bump!bump!bump!
It felt like hitting a thick steel plate, and the feedback force was enough to make one's hands tremble.

But at this moment, his emotions were unusually high - I blocked it! This was the first time in all these days that he completely blocked Arima Shizuya's attack.

I have made some progress, right?
"Do you think you have made progress?"

A rather playful voice came, and Arima Shizuya smiled brightly, and at this moment, the wooden sword in his hand turned into a poisonous snake...

It bounced straight towards Byakuya Kuchiki's chest.

puff.

There was a muffled sound, and Kuchiki Byakuya was thrown straight out.

Seeing the other person struggling to get up, Arima Shizuka also stood still and made a beautiful knife move.

"The first two blows were just to paralyze you, the last one to your temple was the real purpose..."

"It's easy to exert force with both hands, right?"

"But it also lacks the ability to move. Once you raise it too high, it becomes awkward to retract it."

and so.

Arima Shizuka also raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"You couldn't react at all when you were stabbed in the chest, right?"
