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

Chapter 169 168: Tired
By the time Arima Jing woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep for so long in one go.

While expressing her feelings, Arima Jing also received two pieces of good news.

one.

My body does seem to be recovering gradually over time.

The 'internal injuries' that could be healed slowly with rest made Arima Shizuka feel completely relieved.

Second.

Even that guy Gin Ichimaru was unexpectedly capable.

Unexpectedly, during the time when Arima Jing was dozing off, he handled all the affairs within the team with ease.

It is also because of this that the person concerned can sleep peacefully until now.

Sitting up in a daze, Arima Jing also looked at the note left on the table, as well as various documents placed aside that he could not handle as deputy captain.

The classification and organization are very good. It seems that the prison master is also very attentive in cultivating Yin.

oops.

Steal a half day of leisure from busy life.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Arima Shizuka also adjusted her sitting position.

I plan to briefly review the various gains I have made in recent days.

Come to think of it, I haven't done this for quite some time? But this is normal.

After all, during this period of time, I have been busy with scheming and fighting with others. How can I have the leisure to do these fancy things?
It has to be this time.

Everyone was injured, some fled, some went to work...

Arima Shizuka finally had some free time.

The end of the virtualization incident also symbolizes that the direction of the plot has been roughly determined.

It’s been less than a hundred years since the story began - there are only ninety years left before the battle with Yhwach. How can you sleep well at your age?
Arima Shizuka couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I have some free time, but it doesn’t seem to be the case…

Let’s just take a look at what we have gained from this trip, my family.

The first obvious result is the current position of Arima Shizuya.

He has now officially become the captain of the 5th Division, and with the power of the Hogyoku, he knows the full name of his Zanpakuto.

Found the source of power that belongs to me alone.

This is definitely good news. After all, for Arima Shizuya at the moment, he is still just a relatively simple "God of Death".

There is nothing messy in the body, so naturally there won't be any inexplicable explosions...

But relatively speaking, Arima Shizuya's strength improvement will be relatively simple.

All you need to do is keep practicing and purifying your spiritual pressure.

But speaking of this.

Arima Shizuka showed a rather helpless expression on her face.

One good news, one bad news.

The bad thing is that after fighting with the prison master, my attribute values ​​did not improve in any meaningful way.

From this perspective, only two conclusions can be drawn.

The prison warden had no intention of killing him, or there was no point in fighting with someone he knew.

As for the good news, after fighting with Soi-Fong, I actually improved a bit...

[You fought with Soi-Fong, found the one in ten million flaw in her attack, and defeated her easily]

[Kendo +1 White Strike +1 Flash Step +1 Ghost Strike +1]

[Slash: 69][Punch: 78][Walk: 64][Ghost: 74]

Emotional.

I didn't expect that after all the hard work, I would get a +1 in all the departments.

I will probably never forget this for the rest of my life, Soi Fong, you are too weak!

Of course, I am just complaining in my heart. After all, attribute points become more and more difficult to obtain as time goes by.

What's more, he had escaped from the siege of four people before, and only added 11 attribute points.

At times like this, I somewhat miss the time when I was a rookie.

There are gains every day, and great progress is made every time. Just thinking about it makes people envious...

So in the final analysis, this is still a slow and steady process.

Is it the most orthodox solution to find a suitable way to improve yourself, just like training under old man Yamamoto before?

Arima Shizuka also gave it a simple thought and found that the easiest and most effective way was to integrate the four major systems.

After all, after I learned [Instant Coax], my attribute points increased by 20 points.

So we still have to work hard in this area.

While thinking, Arima Jing also heard a knock on the door not far away.

He came back to his senses, looked serious... and opened his mouth to speak.

"Come in."

Gin Ichimaru poked half of his head in.

"Are you awake?"

"Oh, thank you so much for last night."

"Hehe...be more careful next time."

"It will be fine if Gin is here. Besides, I just happen to have something else to ask of you."

Saying thank you is a courtesy, working is a duty.

Arima Shizuka also readily took out the captain's exclusive seal and threw it directly on the table.

"Please dispose of these things as well. My seal is left here... You can knock it as you like!"

"……what?"

Seeing Ichimaru Gin's puzzled expression, Arima Shizuka was quite calm.

"What are you talking about? This is the glorious tradition of our Fifth Division. Since you are all going to serve here, you should be mentally prepared for this."

“What kind of tradition is this…”

Arima Jing doesn't care either.

Are you really dissatisfied? Why don't you ask Pingzi and his immediate superior, the prison warden, who have already escaped to the human world?

Wu~Arima Shizuka just wants to slip away openly.

Watching his captain run out of the door with a smile on his face, Gin Ichimaru looked at the piled-up file bags and fell into deep thought.

——Is there really any way out of hanging out with this guy?

As for Arima Jing.

Although it seems a bit excessive in terms of behavior, there are actually considerations behind it.

Yin will definitely not stay in the position of vice-captain for too long. His future strength level will definitely reach the captain level.

At that time, even if the person concerned has no intention in this regard, the prison master will definitely find a way to arrange for him to serve in other teams in order to expand the sphere of influence of his own group.

so.

You will have to deal with these jobs sooner or later, it just gives you a taste of them in advance.

You have to thank us for this!
At the same time, the person in question was not just wandering around the street... He had a clear goal in mind, which was to rush on the road for a while.

Arrived at the door of the 4th squad’s barracks.

After simply tidying up her appearance, Arima Shizuka coughed twice, then spoke with a smile to the soldier guarding the gate.

"Excuse me, I'm here to see Captain Unohana Retsu. Could you please pass on a message to me?"

The guards at the gate were already sweating profusely...

Because the impact of the Hollowing incident was far-reaching, and it has only been a few days, many people still have no impression of the new captain.

But no matter what.

The captain's haori on his body cannot be fake, the captain of the fifth squad is here to visit!

Wow, is this going to be a big deal?!
"You, please wait a moment!"

Seeing the other party almost crawling away and returning to the team barracks, Arima Shizuka also showed a rather helpless expression.

So is the captain's identity so scary?
I can only say that I am not very sensitive to these things. When I was getting along with Mako Hirako and others, I didn't pay too much attention to these aspects.

As for now...

For ordinary team members, the so-called captain is indeed a very oppressive identity?
As my thoughts were going through the motions, a soldier with a hurried look on his face came out with a nervous expression.

"Captain of the Fifth Division, Captain Unohana is currently out..."

Arima Shizuka also looked surprised.

"Ah, that's really unfortunate..."

No, actually this is what I want to hear!

"So your team's vice-captain is in the team house?"

Since the captain is not here, it is normal procedure to find the deputy captain in charge.

The soldier did not doubt him, raised his head and replied decisively.

"Yes, yes! Vice Captain Kotetsu is in the squad room!"

Previously, due to the transfer of Yamada Ainosuke, the position of vice-captain had been vacant. After the turmoil of the Hollowization incident, with the personnel transfers of many squads... the 4th Squad also had corresponding adjustments.

Yuune Kotetsu takes up the position of vice-captain of the 4th Division.

"Excuse me, please help lead the way."

"this way please!"

Walking along the rather unfamiliar corridor, Arima Jing couldn't help but look around.

Although this is not my first time here, it still feels a bit unfamiliar.

After all, the last time I came here was many years ago, and I was beaten half to death by Gui Yancheng...

How could I possibly be in the mood to enjoy the scenery?

"This is it, Captain of the Fifth Division."

Looking at the other person's reserved appearance, Arima Jing couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you. My name is Arima Shizuya... We are all members of the Gotei 13, so there's no need to be so reserved with me."

"You, you're welcome! Captain Arima!"

The other party's respectful appearance is really frustrating.

It seems that the idea of ​​wanting to get along with others is somewhat unrealistic?
Watching the other party leave respectfully, Arima Jing was just about to raise her hand to knock on the door.

But he saw that the sliding door had been opened a crack... Half of Kotetsu Yuune's face appeared at the door, looking at him strangely.

"..."X2
so awkward.

But something has to be said.

Arima Shizuka also raised her right hand carefully, gave a stiff smile, and spoke in a low voice.

"Um...long time no see?"

……

Boom!
As the sliding door closed, Arima Shizuka also sat on the chair, watching Kotetsu Yuune looking at her with some trepidation.

The atmosphere still has an indescribable subtlety.

The first person to break the silence was Arima Shizuya.

"How are you?"

"It's okay..."

"Really? The 4th Division's barracks have been renovated recently, right? They look much better than before."

"Yes, Captain Unohana paid for it out of his own pocket."

"I see. You are such a generous captain."

"Um...Arima."

"Ok?"

"Congratulations on becoming the captain of the fifth squad."

"Hah...thank you very much."

It was only after hearing these words that a faint smile appeared on Arima Shizuya's face.

"But if possible, I hope to hear this sentence in other occasions."

For example.

At the inauguration ceremony a few days ago?

"Why didn't Yong Yin come over that day?"

The other person obviously lowered his head, his thick eyebrows were furrowed as usual, and his tone became hesitant.

"I, I just feel..."

He placed his hands on his knees and his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I am ordinary and have no characteristics..."

"People who are not pretty at all..."

"It's probably not appropriate to stand next to Arima-kun..."

So I didn’t dare to attend the inauguration ceremony.

Even the gifts were delivered by Qingyin.

Hearing these words, Arima Jing couldn't help but sigh.

what.

Again.

Kotetsu Yuin's signature self-loathing.

Because I usually care too much about other people's eyes, I will only appear more sensitive at times like this.

A slender and pathetic person.

However, this empathy is essentially a kind of understanding mentality that arises from long-term bullying due to height discrimination.

This is another form of inferiority complex.

Arima Shizuka also straightened up and spoke in a sincere tone.

“But I never thought of it that way.”

"I know! But, but I..."

Kotetsu Yuyin hesitated for a while, and his eyes soon became red.

"I still can't accept myself like this..."

It seems difficult to convey one's feelings just through verbal communication.

Arima Shizuka could only choose a more straightforward approach.

He walked around to the back of the desk and headed towards Kotetsu Yuune.

The other party clearly showed a rather panicked expression, even one that looked like he was afraid.

"Yes, Arima-kun?"

"It's okay, I won't do anything excessive."

and so.

"Can you stand up?"

His tone was sincere and helpless. Looking at Arima Shizuya's expression at this moment, Kotetsu Yuine could no longer say anything.

Although I don't understand what the other party is going to do.

But this is obviously not the time to refuse.

He stood up somewhat stiffly.

Under the command of Arima Shizuya, Totsu Yuune opened his arms and raised his head and chest at the same time.

"Well, that's it."

There was only one thing left.

Arima Shizuka also walked slowly forward and hugged Kotetsu Yuune.

Putting her head on the other person's shoulder, Arima Shizuka slowly closed her eyes and her expression gradually relaxed.

"I'm very tired lately..."

Engage in intrigues with others, find the key to breaking the deadlock, and balance the situation in all aspects.

Although he stood on the side of the prison master and started various series of activities.

But in the final analysis, Arima Shizuka still adheres to the principle of retaining the vitality of the Gotei 13.

While striving to gain sufficient benefits, we must also take into account the safety of other people's lives.

Although it seemed to be well organized and completed well afterwards.

But for the parties involved...

These things were enough to make Arima Shizuka feel physically and mentally exhausted.

I can't find anyone to talk to.

After all, even when facing the prison master, there are some things that cannot be said.

By comparison.

A place where you can find comfort and warmth.

Originally, only Kotetsu Yuune was left.

"Three... no, five minutes will be enough."

"Comfort me a little."

"May I?"

The girl also pursed her lips in response to this almost pleading tone.

It seems that behind this so-called bright surface, Arima Shizuka is already "covered with wounds" at this moment?
Self-blame, sadness, and even a little regret welled up in my heart.

Tohru Yuin felt that he shouldn't say those excessive words, after all, the other party's request was so simple.

It's just a hug.

"Sorry, Arima..."

If only he could do it——Koutetsu Yuune patted Arima Shizuya's back gently, and his eyes softened at this moment.

"Arima, you can stay here as long as you want."
