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

Chapter 144 143: Zanpakutō Ability
"I'm not just saying this to you. In fact... I remind every member who joins the Fifth Division in the same way."

"Your life is above your responsibilities and duties. Don't be killed by the atmosphere or people's words. Always stay calm."

"Of course, this is just a statement for those who have just joined the Fifth Division."

As for why?
Mako Hirako laughed, showing his big teeth.

"That's because the ability is too rare and ordinary~"

Able people should do more work.

"Weak people should find ways to protect themselves instead of rushing over to die."

"Correspondingly, starting from the chief officer, to the deputy captain, captain, and even the chief captain."

"We are the ones who should shoulder the responsibility."

It seemed like I had returned to the scene a few years ago when I saw Mako Hirako in the Maou Spiritual Academy.

The other party's appearance remained the same, his tone was sarcastic, and the atmosphere was lazy...

Not a single bit of change.

"So, when you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, and the conditions for escape are ripe enough."

"There is no need to hesitate. Seize the time and opportunity and get away from danger as soon as possible."

"The next thing will be left to us reliable adults."

Honestly.

This was the first time she had heard such a statement, so much so that Arima Shizuka looked a little surprised.

"You look surprised?"

Arima Shizuka hesitated for a moment without comment, then nodded.

"Well... a little bit. After all, this is the first time I've heard something like this."

Mako Hirako smiled with an indescribable sense of pride.

"Then take this opportunity to remember it well~ And this is also the core concept of our Fifth Division, so don't forget it casually."

Arima Shizuka nodded calmly and replied.

"I know."

Cherish life.

Don't waste this most precious thing on something unnecessary.

——Hirako Mako said.

There is no need to pity ants.

Spirits are inherently unequal, just as summer insects cannot talk about ice. After all, mortals are different from us.

——That’s what Aizen Sosuke said.

The figure of the prison master flashed vaguely before his eyes, and Arima Shizuya's expression became somewhat subtle and emotional.

They are very similar, yet they are completely different at their roots.

Is this the subtle 'bond' between two people?

Although I had this feeling when I watched the original work, it is still more touching now that I have heard it carefully.

As his thoughts kept wandering, Mako Hirako in front of him also stood up.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's study... Don't forget anything in the manual I gave you. You must read it carefully in the next period of time."

It was good news that there were no further spot checks, but at the same time, Arima Jing still felt somewhat confused.

So, where to go next?
Mako Hirako said without turning her head.

"Just going to meet my friends, relax."

This guy's friend?

Arima Shizuka also tried to recall, and soon... the figure of a certain person came to her mind.

……

"Ahahaha, you've finally made it to the Fifth Division!"

Seeing Saruaki Hiyori pointing at her and making strange "gee gee gee" sounds, Arima Shizuka seemed a little confused.

What are you happy about?
This is a suburban area three hours away from the 5th Squad's barracks.

Although we haven't reached Rukongai yet, we can already see that the surrounding buildings are quite sparse, and it's obvious that this isn't a place where people often come to play on weekdays.

but.

Perhaps because there are not many pedestrians passing by, the scenery here is well preserved.

Under the broad shade of the trees, on the spread-out blanket, there were already many figures whispering and talking happily.

At this moment, Arima Shizuka was also led here by Hirako Mako.

——But I didn’t expect it to be so lively.

Hiyori laughed strangely, turned around, and stretched out her hand to the serious uncle wearing sunglasses not far away.

"I told you, didn't I? This bald guy will definitely be admitted to the 5th Division. You all didn't believe me, so ~ you have realized how powerful I am!"

"You've got to admit defeat, you bastard, money!"

"Bring it to you!"

Arima Shizuya's eyes moved upwards following the other person's movements.

The current captain of the 7th Division, Aikawa Luowu, raised his hand and took off the sunglasses on his face.

He showed a helpless expression.

"Good good..."

"Huh? Is that all?!"

"If you're a good kid, you'll definitely need some candy."

"Huh?! Who told you to treat me like a kid? You bastard!"

He raised his hand and pressed down on Hiyori's head, forcing her to stop where she was...Aikawa Ratake turned to Arima Shizuya.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we meet, right?"

Before the person concerned could answer, the blond man next to him spoke up with a smile.

"Of course. After all, although this rookie has been in and out of the Gotei 13, he has never been to our squad."

The current captain of the third squad is Fengqiao Loujuro.

This fellow, who was quite particular about his manners, put down the ceramic wine glass in his hand and looked in the direction of Arima Shizuya with interest.

"I'm really sad to say this. Although I'm also very interested in you, I never had the chance to meet you... and it's already graduation season."

He looked up at the sky with an emotional expression.

"Time is such a cruel thing."

Another man who was dozing off with his back against the tree trunk opened his eyes and stared at him with a choked and speechless expression.

"Don't talk like you're very old."

Although I don't want to admit it directly, some objective facts do exist.

Fengqiao Loujuro shrugged.

"But we're not really that young, are we, Quanxi?"

Look, this guy is an old acquaintance—a man with a look of displeasure on his face, as if someone owes him money.

It really is the current captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Muguruma.

Arima Shizuka is also the first person who can be confirmed and "certified" as being defeated.

Originally he might have looked uninterested, but now that it had been mentioned, Rokuguruma Kensei took a deep breath.

He straightened his back and sat up.

With tightly furrowed brows, his eyes swept over Arima Shizuya as if examining him, sweeping back and forth several times in a rather unfriendly manner.

"..."

After all, she had teased others like naughty boys before, and this kind of "face-to-face confrontation" still made Arima Jing feel an indescribable subtlety.

Can you please stop watching? I'm a little nervous!

Not to mention the person involved, even Mako Hirako couldn't help but speak.

"Hey Quanxi, don't show that expression to my men. Do you know that it's scary?"

As if waking up from a dream, Liu Che Quanxi let out a soft "uh" and immediately lowered his gaze.

"Sorry, I accidentally showed that look."

After a pause, Liu Che Quanxi raised his hand and touched the back of his head, then spoke in an uncertain tone.

"I feel like I saw something disgusting on you just now..."

Well, I have to say, your intuition is quite accurate.

Mako Hirako squinted his eyes, snorted, and said with disdain.

"When did you start to believe in something so intuitive?"

Liu Che Quanxi pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then finally looked up with an apologetic expression.

"You're right... I'm just too sensitive. Sorry, kid."

Seeing the other party smiling at her apologetically, Arima Jing naturally had no intention of being pretentious and responded with a nod.

"no problem, no problem……"

It seems that Liu Che Quanxi is unexpectedly easy to talk to?

I can only say that we fought the first time we met, and now when we meet again, it is inevitable that we can't avoid bringing that first impression with us.

Mako Hirako patted Arima Shizuya's shoulder, nodded her head slightly, and could not hide the smile in her tone.

"Well, this guy has this kind of stinky face. You get used to it once you get used to it... Actually, he's pretty easy to talk to."

Led forward by the other party, Arima Shizuka also sat carefully in the corner.

Without even turning back, Hirako Mako grabbed his collar and dragged him forward.

"Who told you to sit so far away? I brought you here today just to meet everyone!"

"Could you please tell me in advance?"

After all, there were four captains gathered here at once, and among them there were a few unfamiliar guys... maybe they were all deputy-level figures?
So why are they gathered here?

As if she understood Arima Shizuya's thoughts, Mako Hirako playfully put her arms around his neck and spoke as if she was whispering.

"It's normal to be a little nervous. After all, this is the first time you meet so many captains, right?"

No.

There seemed to be more people last time.

"But don't worry too much. After all, these are our own people. They are our partners."

Looking at the other person's half-smile, although Arima Jing was a little slow, she reacted to some extent.

This is to bring myself to recognize someone...

It was like a meetup introduced by an acquaintance.

In other words.

As long as one is a human being, as a part of social life, each of them has a so-called social circle.

Just like Mr. Yamamoto's small group, Mako Hirako also has a similar "private plot".

There is no doubt that although the social circle built by Pingzi is not exaggerated, it is also a team that "cannot be underestimated".

From a long-term perspective, it is also the base force that constitutes the masked army.

So these people actually knew each other a long time ago?

Although I haven't paid attention to this aspect, it does make sense to think this way - the first ones to get into trouble were Rokuguruma Kensei and Kunan Shiro, and the ones who came to their aid were all the squads that had good relations with these people.

It can be seen that in front of these good friends, Mako Hirako always displays a very easy-going attitude.

He lazily put his arm around Arima Shizuya's neck and spoke in a joking tone.

"Well, it's actually a very simple thing."

"That means this kid will start to be active as my deputy from now on."

"I'll have to trouble you guys to help take care of him when the time comes. After all, young people are new to the game and there will definitely be things they are not familiar with."

Although it sounds a bit unreliable.

But others responded with considerable sincerity and force.

Aikawa Luowu chuckled and raised his hand to rub his nose bridge which was slightly sunken due to the pressure of the frame.

"You're a highly anticipated newcomer. I feel a lot of pressure to guide a rising star like you."

Fengqiao Loujuro ruffled his hair, with a subtle and subtle smile on his face.

"Really? I'm actually looking forward to it. And speaking of this...it's not impossible to make adjustments after joining the team. If you get along well with each other, you can apply to change teams later, right?"

Mako Hirako waved his hand unceremoniously and said disdainfully.

"Stop talking, you bastard~ Arima is definitely the most suitable person for the 5th Division. He can't have a conversation with a gloomy guy like you."

Although Rokuguruma Kensei's expression was still serious, he smiled a little at the moment because of the atmosphere.

"Is it Ma Jingye? I have heard of your name before."

Mako Hirako became somewhat interested.

"No, your place is so remote, how could anyone discuss such a topic there?"

Liu Che Quanxi pondered for a moment, looking thoughtful.

"Let me think... it seems like he is a soldier with visual impairment. He often mentions the name Arima Shizuya."

The others were obviously still a little unresponsive.

The person involved, Arima Shizuka, also sighed in her heart.

Dongxian, you are in jail now, why are you still thinking about your brothers so much?

I was filled with emotion, but I didn't say anything at this moment. After all, I was a newcomer, so it was better to talk less and listen more at this time.

But...if the person involved is not happy about it, others will come over and cause trouble.

Hiyori, who was standing nearby, came over with a smile, raised her hand and patted Arima Shizuya's shoulder, with a very proud expression on her face.

"You're still young, are you nervous about such a small situation? Well, just play nice with me from now on, I'll protect you!"

"..."

How come this guy seems to be even more active than when he was in Squad 12?
However, this behavior is not incomprehensible.

Because the most respected captain was promoted to Squad Zero, he stayed behind and was forced to get along with unfamiliar people.

The mental pressure on her must be quite great.

Since you can't resolve your emotions in your heart, you can only vent them outwardly... So, the so-called irritability is just your protective color?
Just as Aikawa Luowu said before.

Just a little devil.

Unaware of Arima Shizuya's subtle sympathy, Hiyori continued talking to herself for a while, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.

He showed a very cheerful expression.

“Oh, that’s right! What’s your Zanpakutō?! If it’s the same type as mine, I can give you some guidance!”

A slightly sensitive topic.

But it has already attracted the attention of others.

Everyone in the audience focused their eyes on the young man.

——What is the ability of your Zanpakutō?
