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

Chapter 179 Chapter 178: Captain's Meeting

Time flows.

In the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

It was the time between autumn and winter, and it was already chilly... and now the wind was even stronger, causing passers-by to quicken their pace.

As per usual, Arima Shizuka and Ichimaru Gin walked quickly along the long corridor until they reached the solemn and dignified meeting room.

"Silver, just like before, go wait outside for a while."

The latter nodded in response and retreated to the courtyard to meet with the other vice-captains who were already in place.

Matsumoto Rangiku was already greeting him.

Seeing Ichimaru Gin walking over with a look of disgust on his face, Arima Shizuka also turned around with a smile and walked into the meeting room.

There were already quite a few people waiting inside. Looking around, I found that I was one of the first people to arrive.

"Captain Arima!"

The one who speaks.

It was the captain of the 10th Division who visited him a few days ago, but in the end he failed to meet him.

Shiba Isshin.

When he was young, Yi Xin looked tall and handsome, with no stubble on his face, and his every move had a refreshing feeling that is unique to teenagers.

"I'm really sorry about what happened a few days ago... I appreciate your care, Rangiku."

The other party was unusually polite, but Arima Shizuka didn't care much.

"It's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously."

It would be better to say that Matsumoto Rangiku just has this kind of temper, and Arima Shizuka already knew this before they met.

Have a correct attitude and speak politely.

Faced with such a scene, even though he was mentally prepared for it, Isshin Shiba couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile.

"Since you can understand it this way, it's naturally the best...By the way, you came really early today."

It may seem like just some low-level gossip, but in fact it has a reason.

"You have to show up early sometimes, Captain Shiba. Otherwise... the old man's fist is merciless."

Being held accountable for being late is definitely not uncommon.

It’s just that Arima Jing also wants to avoid it as much as possible.

"Ah, this sentence really makes sense. I remember that last time I was beaten out by an old man with a stick~"

Kyoraku Shunsui, with dark circles under his eyes, came over with a smile.

The uncle is also dressed in a fancy way today.

"No, Captain Kyoraku was reprimanded in public because he made changes to the haori without permission, right?"

Arima Shizuka also said with a smile.

"Although I think it has a good design sense, it is not a wise move to do something about it."

Compared to his own scandal being exposed, at this moment, Kyoraku Shunsui was more concerned about Arima Shizuya's attitude.

"Oh~ I thought that if it were Captain Arima, he would definitely understand the uniqueness of this design."

There was even a hint of pretentiousness in Kyoraku Shunsui's tone.

"You know, this is a pattern designed by Nanao herself. It's directly on the pattern of the team uniform. Don't you think it's cool?"

"Who hit your eyes?"

"Ahahaha, because I was so happy that I drank a little too much, Nanao-chan couldn't help but get angry~"

I don't know whether I should say that he is naturally outgoing or what...

Kyoraku Shunsui was promoting his proudest product with a smile on his face, causing Shiba Isshin who was standing next to him to show an embarrassed expression.

"Ah, haha...it does look interesting."

"Yeah~"

It's not hard to see that the Shiba boss is not good at dealing with fancy guys.

Ukitake Jushiro, who was standing next to Kyoraku Shunsui, coughed twice, as if he was warning his good friend in a rather subtle way.

"Please restrain yourself. It's not a good idea to bully newcomers like this."

The playful captain of the 8th Division glanced at his best friend beside him, and finally just shrugged calmly.

"Okay, okay, as you wish..."

In comparison, the other captains present were quite calm.

——Or has it become somewhat commonplace?
After all, compared to the situation forty years ago, the current team configuration has lasted for quite some time.

Under the wash of time, the so-called joy, anger, sorrow and happiness have become as dull as water.

Although Arima Jingye felt emotional, time was still passing by.

It didn't take long.

Aizen Sosuke, who arrived almost right after Arima Shizuya, also showed his signature broad smile after making eye contact with everyone.

Although it is possible that the person involved is just being sentimental, I always feel that there is some deep meaning in the other person's eyes.

Following closely behind him were Tosen Kaname and Komamura Satsujin, who were walking side by side.

The blind guy who can't see and the big guy with an iron barrel on his head... the combination of these two people is extremely abstract just by looking at them.

However, considering that both sides seemed to have no mental pressure in the literal sense, the bystanders naturally did not say much.

Soon, the two of them were standing in place.

Nearly two-thirds of the captains have arrived. Looking around, the only one who is absent is...

A clattering sound and the sound of stiff footsteps interrupted Arima Shizuya's thoughts.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri walked into the room with an expressionless face.

This guy's dressing style has become more and more flamboyant. Should we say it's because he became the captain?
Compared to forty years ago, this guy's makeup has become so exaggerated that even Arima Shizuya was amazed.

——So fashionable and trendy!

He quickly stepped into position, but Mayuri Kurotsuchi was not standing in his usual position.

He went straight to Arima Shizuya's side. "Do you have anything new to reveal today?"

Such straightforward remarks made even Arima Shizuka reveal a subtle expression.

"Uh... yes, there are."

"Why didn't you discuss this with me first?!"

A rebuking tone.

It is known that this guy's expression began to become distorted, and now he even slapped the conference table as if he had lost control of his emotions.

"Research and invention within Seireitei should be under the jurisdiction of the Technology Development Bureau."

"Your new research bypassed our researchers and you did it without their permission. This is inappropriate and a dereliction of duty!"

"And it's such an interesting thing... No, in short, I will hold you accountable for your behavior in front of Captain Yamamoto later."

He raised his right hand and pointed his pale index finger at the tip of Arima Shizuya's nose.

Kuroshio Mayuri's tone was rather sinister.

"Teach me a lesson, you little brat."

"..."

It’s hard to describe my current mood.

Although according to the regulations, it is indeed as the other party said.

But what's going on with this feeling of personal revenge...

So should you consider your words before you speak?

Before he could open his mouth, the door behind him was pushed open again.

The woman, Soi Fong, who was the captain of the Second Division at the time, walked in quickly. She stood still at her position, looking straight ahead, as if she had not heard the commotion here at all.

This is the end.

All members of the Gotei 13, except the captain-general, are in place.

Chojiro Suzuki put down his right hand that was playing with his moustache and stepped back out the door.

Not long after.

Heavy and steady footsteps, accompanied by the sound of a cane tapping the ground, came from outside at this moment.

Boom!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looks the same as he did forty years ago.

At this moment, step into the correct position until you stand still.

"The captain has arrived. Today's routine captain meeting..."

"start!"

……

Since it is a routine meeting, it naturally has its theme.

Following previous practice, the thirteen teams present gave a brief report and outlook.

Basically the content is pretty much the same as before...

After all, strictly speaking, the so-called spirits are all considered to be the so-called "immortal species".

The so-called time itself is not a resource that needs to be cherished.

People are not very sensitive about time, so many matters are usually adjusted on a quarterly basis after they are assigned.

What stands out is that it is bloated and slow.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, even if we don’t consider the feudal background settings of related aspects, under the premise of peace, the resistance to changing things is already very great.

As my thoughts fluctuated, a round of performance review was completed.

The topic rotated and soon came to the "highlight" of the day.

"The debriefing is over, and we are moving on to the next stage."

"According to the prior agreement and preparation, the topic of this discussion is what was raised by the captain of the 5th Division, Arima Shizuya."

"It is titled..."

"Discussion on the new Ghost Path."

As Chojiro Suzuki finished his speech, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Shizuya Arima.

The man was not afraid at all. He took half a step forward and even had the leisure to greet the people around him.

"As Senior Quebe said, my topic today is about the contents of the ghost way."

"Considering that someone already knew about the relevant content in advance, and the matter itself is not complicated..."

"So I will just briefly describe the more general things and skip them."

There is no stupid person here, so the correct answer is to keep it short.

"As we all know, the rule of using the ghost way is to extract spiritual power..."

"Then make it operate in a fixed form, and fix it again with prayers..."

"Finally, the ghost path as a whole appears in a relatively stable form, achieving the user's goal."

The ghost arts so far, even the so-called forbidden techniques, are no more than this.

This is also something like common sense, and it is not surprising at this moment.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Arima Shizuka to come up with something 'new'.

And the parties involved did not disappoint everyone.

Said with a smile at this moment.

"And based on these theories."

"I currently have a complete set of spiritual power circulation routes, related prayers, and a ghost system with specific usage effects."

“Here, I want to share something with you.”
