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

Chapter 137 136: Ichimaru Gin
"Arima-senpai? Arima-senpai?"

The voices of other people were heard beside her, and Arima Shizuka, who was slightly absent-minded, suddenly reacted at this moment.

"Were you asleep just now?"

"Ah... Sorry, no, no. I was just distracted by something."

The student council member standing next to Arima Shizuya seemed relieved. He wanted to go down directly, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to come over and whisper.

"It doesn't matter now, but please don't be distracted when the meeting starts later..."

After all, it is the new year's welcome party for the Maou Spiritual Academy.

This kind of meeting specially organized for newcomers is only held once a year, and Arima Shizuka, who attended as a representative student, had already attended it last year.

This year will naturally not be too unfamiliar.

He saw the other person looking at him with a smile, and Arima Jing also realized that he had been somewhat inappropriate just now.

He said this with a smile at this moment.

"Sorry for making you worry."

The New Year has passed.

Arima Shizuka also returned from the Kuchiki family's mansion, and nearly two months have passed since then.

After the buffer period of 'winter vacation', it is now time to go back to school.

As usual, speeches by senior students and blessings to freshmen are naturally indispensable.

After all, he is still an outstanding representative of the fourth grade students.

Although it cannot be said that she is very familiar with it, for Arima Shizuya now, this part is already very familiar to her.

He went on stage and said a few simple words.

Arima Shizuka returned to her seat and continued to have that thoughtful expression on her face.

Because of the letter that Aizen sent some time ago, he felt a little pressure at the moment.

What do you mean by "let me pick out a few good talents and make them our partners"?

Since when did I start working as a human resources manager?

Wow! Where can I find such capable people?

You have to know that the one who is considered worthy of attention by the prison master must at least be at the level of Momo Hinamori, the number one meat shield in Soul Society.

Although it is not good enough in the original book.

But he is also an outstanding graduate of the Shinō Spiritual Academy, and was selected after manual screening by the prison master.

If you think about it carefully, she just looks a little gentle.

In fact, the other person has a rather bad temper and is the type that tends to go to extremes.

After all, when the prison warden faked his death, this guy was so angry that he directly attacked the captain-level figures.

I really feel this way. No wonder some people say she is love-brained or something like that.

"It's just a simple personality scam..."

Do you think that someone who can awaken such an explosive Zanpakuto would be a gentle person?
nonexistent……

Thoughts floating.

Arima Jing also sat on the chair, and the expression on her face gradually became sad.

Then the problem becomes obvious.

You have to know that it was several decades later that Abarai Renji and his group entered school. During this period, the prison warden would definitely not be idle and would have been keeping an eye on this group of young people.

But before the story begins, Arima Shizuka had never had the impression that the prison master was interested in other people.

This shows that this is basically everyone’s level.

Now that Ma Jing has also taken action himself, how can he possibly "find gold in shit"?

No matter how you think about it, it's making things difficult for people.

But the tasks assigned by the prison warden cannot be ignored, although one can get away with it by simply saying "there are no seedlings worth looking at".

But just thinking about the regretful expression that the prison warden might show, Arima Jing felt a stomachache.

Saying.

Did this guy know that I'm thin-skinned and was planning to play a trick on me like this?

Amidst the sadness, this year's recruitment fair is coming to an end.

As usual, I stood up and said goodbye to everyone. Then the meeting ended, ending today's...

"Well, please wait!"

It took a while for the person involved to come to his senses.

Two women in standard college uniforms were standing in front of Arima Shizuya's right with nervous expressions.

The two met Arima Shizuya's gaze and immediately lowered their heads.

The one on the left pushed his companion next to him, who pursed his lips tightly and raised his hands stiffly at this moment.

"This, this... please accept it, senior!"

He took it subconsciously, then brought it close to his eyes to examine it.

The pink envelope didn't feel thick and it was obvious that there was only a simple handwritten letter inside.

But considering the current situation, Arima Shizuka couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression at this moment.

what.

This thing again...

This is not the first time that Arima Jing has faced this situation, so she has some experience.

He wanted to ask something, but the other party had already screamed "Ah" and ran away with a look of smug joy on his face.

No, what are you two excited about?

Is it possible for a normal person to laugh like this?

But...it should be said.

"What a youth."

“Wow, you sound like you’re really old, Arima-senpai~”

You don't need to look back to know who is speaking this sarcastic tone.

With a rather helpless expression on her face, Arima Jing also half turned around.

"Are you free, Qingyin?"

As Arima Shizuka also became a fourth-year student, Kotetsu Kiyone was also promoted to a second-year student.

Now, after hearing Arima Shizuya's response, the little girl puffed out her chest and revealed a rather proud expression.

"Hehe, I am at least one of the top ten students in my year. I will definitely not let you down."

"Oh, that's amazing, keep it up."

He patted the other person's head as if comforting a child. The latter looked happy at first, but soon seemed to realize something.

Back away quickly.

"Ah! Don't change the subject, Arima Shizuya! I saw what you have in your hand!"

Arima Shizuka couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought I could get away with it..."

"What?! Are you treating me like a little devil?!"

Ignoring this simple episode, the two walked side by side on the way back to the school building, and the smile on Kotetsu Kiyone's face became a little playful along the way.

"By the way, this is already the second letter since the New Year?"

Arima Jing also shook her head helplessly.

"No, the fourth one..."

Don't know when it started.

Arima Shizuya always receives these things from time to time.

The contents are all pretty much the same, with similar self-introductions, confessions of feelings, and finally expressions of the desire to date Arima Shizuka.

Because I have tasted too much, I even feel a little bit uncomfortable.

And if I really want to talk about it...

I shouldn't be that handsome, right?

Arima Shizuka rubbed her chin thoughtfully, with a thoughtful expression.

Kotetsu Qingyin beside him seemed to understand the person's mood instantly, and added with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, haven't you noticed yet? You are actually a celebrity in the academy."

"Yes, yes?"

"of course!"

Kotetsu Qingyin raised his right hand and began to count the results as if he was counting the treasures on his back. "I have been the top student in the grade for several consecutive years, and I have a hopeless gap with the second place."

That’s because my current level is at the captain level.

"You can also put on the Death Tyrant costume and move around freely on campus."

That is also out of convenience. After all, nowadays Arima Shizuka is often forced to attend various occasions.

"The incense wrapped around the waist and the glove on the right hand have already proved that they are gifts from the Kuchiki family!"

The front one is fine.

As for the latter one...

Arima Shizuka also lowered his eyes, fixed on his right hand.

This is a fingerless half-sleeve glove with a pure white base color. It covers the palm, wraps around the palm half a circle, and covers the back of the hand.

I rejected Xiumu Yinling's invitation.

But the other party didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all, and even gave such a gift when leaving.

At that time, Arima Shizuka didn't know how much this thing was worth, but she accepted it because she couldn't refuse the kindness.

It was only after returning to school that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

This thing can be exchanged for twenty apartments in the inner circle of Soul Society.

Arima Shizuya was so scared that he almost got an erection.

I can only say that the concepts of consumption are different, and it is inevitable to show your weakness at this time...

Although she wanted to return directly, Arima Jing was rejected several times in a row, and finally had no choice but to give up.

The Kuchiki family's style seemed to be revealed in subtle ways.

Since it cannot be returned, neither selling it nor collecting it is a good option.

In the end, Arima Shizuya could only keep it for his own use.

It must be said that this thing is not just a decoration.

I don’t know what specific materials are used, but this thing has the function of absorbing sweat and also has a certain degree of anti-slip function.

At least it can reduce the risk of the knife slipping out of your hand.

Although Arima Shizuya thought the equipment was somewhat wasted, it was also a gesture from the Kuchiki family, and in the end he could only accept it with pleasure.

So how should we say that sentence...Do poor students have more stationery?
Alas, no comments allowed!

After thinking for a moment, Arima Shizuka finally showed a rather helpless expression.

"So, these are the reasons why I'm attractive?"

"Isn't it enough?"

"I always feel it's so superficial..."

"As expected of my brother-in-law, he always says such admirable things!"

This girl is really good at flattering others.

Arima Shizuka also smiled silently and changed the subject at this moment.

"Okay, how's the list I asked you to help collect going?"

"Since it's my brother-in-law's order, I will definitely do my best!"

Kotetsu Kiyone took out a scroll and handed it to Arima Shizuya.

"Except for the third branch where you are, the names of the new students in the remaining branches one, two, and four are all included."

"Oh, thank you."

A smile spread across Kotetsu Kiyone's face, and she seemed a little embarrassed at the moment for showing her approval of Arima Shizuya.

"Hey, working in the student union, these things are just a piece of cake."

Arima Shizuka also spread out the scroll in her hand, examining it and nodding.

"It helped a lot."

Because the Maou Spiritual Academy has begun to expand.

Two external campuses have been added since this year...Thanks to this, the number of students admitted has also increased since this year.

This is bound to be a good thing in the long run.

After all, the Shinigami are the force that maintains order within Soul Society, and compared to the disorderly refugees, the more such "talents" there are, the better.

At the same time, this method of adding campuses and degrees will allow more refugees to participate in the college and receive training and education.

This will allow more talented and intelligent people to be active here.

To be honest.

Arima Shizuka had no similar memories.

But this aspect of the story did appear in this 'plot line', which was somewhat surprising to the parties involved.

And in the subsequent correspondence with the old man Yama, Arima Jing finally found out the reason.

"People with your talents are also born in a land of refugees."

"I feel deeply that the current selection mechanism is backward and inadequate."

'Therefore, I will invest in the renovation of the Spiritual Arts Academy.'

'Just to select more knowledgeable people.'

The old man in the mountain is really passionate.

But at the same time, Arima Shizuka couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't expect that these reforms would occur in Soul Society before he even took any action.

I wonder if Mr. Yamamoto’s reforms to the Maou Spiritual Academy will affect those who will enroll there later?

Although there is no way to verify it, I am still somewhat looking forward to it at this moment.

I don’t know how strong a wind can be created by flapping my wings like a butterfly?
But these things are still a matter for later.

Taking a deep breath, Arima Shizuka turned her attention back to the list.

Kotetsu Qingyin, who was originally still thinking, also leaned over.

"Brother-in-law, come to think of it, what's the point of you asking me to collect these things?"

"To find some talented people who have potential in certain areas."

"But just looking at the name doesn't mean anything, right?"

"That's of course because... I have special abilities."

ha? !

After hearing such misleading statements, Kotetsu Qingyin gritted her teeth and wanted to punch her brother-in-law twice.

However, the facts are just as Qingyin said.

Just a name doesn't really mean anything, and now Arima Jing can behave like this, in the final analysis...

It is also a stereotyped behavior similar to looking for a sword on a boat.

Although experience can change a person's character and ability.

But some people and things have characteristics that are so distinct that they are unbelievable.

'I wonder if anyone familiar will show up this year?'

With this thought in mind, Arima Shizuya looked up.

Finally, it settled on a certain name.

The legs that had been moving non-stop stopped moving and stood still, and Arima Shizuya's eyes froze slightly.

Even the breathing had some subtle changes.

"Oh..."

The tone was filled with a sense of joking, and even people around could sense the inexplicable meaning in it.

Qingyin beside him noticed this change, she stopped and followed suit, and at this moment she couldn't help but whispered.

"...Brother-in-law? Are you okay?"

The person came back to his senses, blinked subconsciously, and smiled peacefully.

"I am fine."

"But your face looks bad. Did you see something?"

After a moment's silence, Arima Shizuka sighed as if relieved, and then spoke.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to see a familiar name here."

Branch number four.

A first-year student at Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.

Ichimaru Gin.
