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

Chapter 175 Chapter 174: New Ghost Path·Eight Parts of Method

The next day.

Shinō Spiritual Academy, fourth grade, class one.

As we all know, although there are many students enrolled every year, when we really look into it, there are only a few top classes that are worthy of attention.

Because each assessment and grading is done based on background and final exam results.

This also means that the first class in each grade usually represents the most distinguished and most promising group of people in the current school year.

The descendants of nobles are naturally also nobles.

The reserve forces, who have the potential to become strong, also have the corresponding pride.

In other words.

These people are not easy to deal with.

——Just ordinary teachers present sometimes cannot even gain the respect of these people.

After all, the formal academy mentors are those who failed to be selected after graduation, or failed to stand out in Team Thirteen, and finally chose to return to the Fang Tower as losers.

People with high aspirations will naturally look down on these guys.

but.

Today is a little different.

They are usually obsessed with socializing and mingling, paving the way for their future family business and their own future.

At this moment, they all appeared in the classroom.

This made the so-called class teacher start sweating...

Yeah! Good, such a strong sense of oppression!

The head teacher, who looked like a middle-aged man, took out a silk scarf and wiped the sweat off his face. He murmured for a while and finally showed a flattering smile.

Long speeches are not his forte, and everyone is gathered here today, so naturally, they are not here to listen to his nonsense.

Therefore, we have to get straight to the point.

"Uh... it's not easy for all of you to gather here today."

"Let me make it short. Please give me a round of applause."

“Today’s guest speaker.”

Guest lecturer.

As the name suggests, it means specially inviting professionals outside the academy to provide corresponding training for the newcomers who will join Team 13 and various important positions in the future.

Generally speaking, these invited lecturers are not ordinary people.

After all, the Shinō Spiritual Academy is honored by the name of Yamamoto Yūryūsai Shigekuni, and is also the only officially designated school in the Soul Society.

And the lecturer who is about to arrive today is now seen by everyone as having an unusual appeal.

An inexplicable sense of anticipation.

Accompanied by a burst of short footsteps, it came from outside the door at this moment.

"Dong dong dong..."

After three noises, the person outside pushed the door open.

Her long black hair was shoulder-length and there was a faint smile on her face.

While lining the inner layer with the Shiba costume, he also wore a wide and decent haori on the outside.

On top of it.

The embroidered word "five" seems unusually eye-catching and bright at this moment.

The visitor walked quickly to the side of the podium and smiled kindly at the people next to him.

"Sorry, something happened on the way... Am I late?"

The other party was so nervous that he kept shaking his head, and his tone was unusually respectful.

"You are joking, you are joking! How could I be late? It's just in time!"

joke.

So what if the other person is really late?
Are you going to let a guy like me, who is just eating and waiting to die in the academy, point his finger at the current captain of the Gotei 13 and scold him?
Well, maybe I can do this one day when I get tired of living...

"Then I'll leave it to you from now on. I'll take my leave first."

Although it doesn’t matter if you just sit in on the class.

But after all, I'm not a ambitious guy, so naturally I can't get interested in these things.

Watching the other person leave the classroom, the visitor looked around and simply cleared his throat.

"Ahem... uh, everyone, first of all, please introduce yourselves."

Take a half step forward.

While raising his right hand, he turned sideways and raised his thumb high...

Pointing to his back.

"As you can see, I am the current captain of the Fifth Division."

"The name is..."

"Arima Shizuya!"

Stand up and applaud.

There was no need for any instructions or arrangements. It was just an instinctive reaction that made the man on the stage stunned for a moment.

"Captain Arima, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Your deeds are widely known in the Soul Society. I came back to school today because of your special lecture..."

"He's even more handsome in person than in the photo..."

Although his time in office is not even a fraction of that of other veteran captains.

But because Arima Shizuka is also active enough and is also quite good at dealing with interpersonal matters...

Under its operation, the Fifth Division not only demonstrated a more professional side, but also gained the trust of other divisions.

Nowadays, even if it is not necessary, many squads, even the nobles in the upper house, welcome the professionals from the Fifth Squad to provide corresponding help.

Not only the reputation, but also the corresponding abilities...

Nowadays, there is a tendency towards all-round development.

The most intuitive aspect of these evaluations will also be reflected in the Maou Spiritual Academy.

The respect and praise from all the students is the highest evaluation of Arima Shizuya's efforts over the years.

Perhaps among all the captains in the history of the Fifth Division, this captain's actions are the most organized.

As for the parties involved?
After hearing such a warm welcome, he also showed a rather awkward smile.

Ah, I didn't expect that I could be so popular~

Visiting the school again after more than 40 years, the emotion in my heart is naturally no less.

But compared to these personal matters, Arima Shizuka still puts her career first.

Today's trip is just for class, so of course it has its purpose.

"Okay, time is running out, so let's get to the point."

Just like the special lecture given by Mako Hirako more than 40 years ago.

Arima Shizuya, who is on this trip today, also has a theme.

Inscribed with pen, with back to body.

The man who bore the name of the Fifth Division raised his right hand high at this moment.

With vigorous and powerful strokes, several characters were quickly completed.

'Ghost Road'

Turning around again, a faint smile appeared on Arima Shizuka's face.

The rhythm was gradually mastered and the atmosphere became harmonious and gentle.

"Just a simple question, gentlemen."

"It's not a serious question, so just answer it directly."

"For you, which of the four basic skills you have mastered is the most practical?"

There was silence for a moment.

After looking at each other and thinking for a while, they began to speak.

"Kendo... Flash Step... Ghost Doctrine..."

It is a type of four choices.

Naturally, everyone has their own preferences, and among them, Arima Jing soon heard the corresponding answer.

He raised his hand, signaling everyone to shut up.

"Everyone's answers make sense. I believe this is the result of your hard work and efforts."

"Among them, I heard at least three-fifths of them..." "reported the name of Guidao."

It's not uncommon.

After all, for ordinary soldiers, there are only a few things they can use among the four basic skills.

Kendo - this kind of thing is usually enough for basic use, and usually only the soldiers who have mastered the Shikai will study it in depth.

Flash Step - Although equally practical, it is a pity that the more advanced techniques are monopolized by some high-ranking nobles.

The common content is relatively simple, so naturally there is no value in digging deeper.

White fight - just as the evaluation was made more than forty years ago, in today's era, low-level Shinigami prefer to focus their energy on their Zanpakutō.

The above three basic skills all have corresponding specialties.

and their respective shortcomings.

Perhaps it is because of this that most people...turn their attention to this last option.

Ghost Road.

Almost all students who are able to enter the academy have the ability to control spirit particles.

For many people, being able to do this is as easy and pleasant as turning on a faucet.

Even more.

This profession also has corresponding prayers to assist.

The ghost paths that exist today and are on the surface basically have corresponding fixed formats.

When users are making adjustments and trying things out, they basically act like they are reading from a script.

Therefore...

In essence, anyone who uses the ghost way is a seeker who stands on the shoulders of giants and looks into the distance.

“It’s very convenient.”

Arima Shizuya's tone was quite emotional.

"After all, the development of ghost arts to the present era has already become more detailed and differentiated."

"A binding technique specifically designed to control the enemy."

"The reply from Jingyan is about recovering from the injury."

"With the broken way that specializes in destruction and annihilation."

There are even some things that can affect the surrounding environment and the system of the Soul Society cycle itself, and are therefore listed as forbidden techniques.

Wherever the ability reaches, that is where the ability can be exerted.

When the skills are pure enough, professional ghost users can even deal with all emergencies perfectly.

Perhaps this is precisely why.

Only the so-called ghost way would have such popularity among these students.

"Captain Arima, but...what does this have to do with your lesson today?"

"Oh, that's a good question~"

Although it will be mentioned later.

But now that we've started to urge them, we have to speed up a bit.

"Because this is what I want to talk about today."

To make a long story short.

"Gentlemen, what is the current level of your mastery of the ghost arts?"

"Have the ghost arts numbered 30 and above been able to be performed?"

"Has Huidao been able to accurately cover the wound and restore the injury without wasting spiritual energy?"

"In terms of the Binding Technique, can you control the strength without hurting the opponent and prevent the spiritual power from spilling out?"

There was no response and silence for a long time.

Because this is the flaw of the ghost path.

Although it is easy to get started, and there is also a clear plan and a sense of anticipation for the future.

But in terms of proficiency and usage conditions...the limitations of Ghost Way can be said to be the most obvious type.

If you can’t do it, you can’t do it!
Looking at the silent crowd, Arima Shizuka also revealed a subtle smile at this moment.

Then, the highlight comes next.

"Gentlemen, have you ever thought about... a completely new ghost path that is separate from these three series?"

No time was given for further thinking.

Arima Shizuka also spoke to herself.

"The way to destroy is to hurt, the way to restore is to return, and the way to restrain is to bind."

"Just imagine, can't there be other types of professional branches?"

"For example, an illusion that can control the other party's senses?"

Arima Shizuka also paused for a moment, and spoke in a very confident tone at this moment.

"Of course, there isn't one now."

"But... maybe things will be different from now on."

"Because I have Shizuya Ma, who is researching a unique ghost technique that can be used by all the Shinigami."

“Although it is not yet a system and is currently only in the exploratory stage, we already have a lot of clues.”

"so."

"If conditions permit, I would prefer to call it..."

After a pause, Arima Jing said with a smile.

"New Ghost Path·Eight Parts of Methods."

Derived from the name of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, this unique ghost path was derived from Arima Shizuya's research.

This is one of the research results in the past forty years.

……

In the 5th Division's barracks, Aizen Sosuke, who hadn't been seen for a long time, sat on a chair with a helpless look on his face.

"So, is this why you caused a commotion at school?"

Arima Shizuka also looked like a student who had made a mistake. At this moment, he pondered and smiled bitterly twice.

"That's not what I meant."

The prison warden pursed his lips and sighed, his expression showing even more helplessness.

"I understand. At first, it was just to arouse other people's interest, so that they would be more interested in your research, right?"

"..."

"But I didn't expect the response to be so huge, and even attracted the attention of other people?"

"..."

"In the end, it even alarmed the First Squad, so much so that they had to send out soldiers to carry out corresponding suppression before these people could completely quiet down?"

There was a snap.

Arima Shizuka also clasped his hands together and bowed to the prison warden to apologize.

"Sorry! I didn't think about it that deeply!"

The other party's reaction was quite calm, and he even had the leisure to take a sip of the tea at hand.

"I don't mean to blame you, Shizuya-kun."

"You are the captain of the 5th Division after all, you should pay more attention to your image."

"Although the other eight laws can indeed be made public, it still seems a bit imprudent to put them in this situation... Well, forget it."

Anyway, the first team already knows the details.

It is only a matter of time before this is brought up in the captains' meeting.

But this is all expected and part of the plan.

"not to mention……"

The prison warden's expression relaxed, and at this moment even his tone contained a hint of indescribable emotion.

"You are doing this for our plan."

and so.

Adjusting himself to a more comfortable sitting position, Aizen's tone remained calm.

"Have you picked any new talent worthy of attention this time?"
