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

Chapter 186 185: Stars and Wild Dogs
"No, this may be the funniest joke I have heard in recent years..."

Abarai Renji smiled somewhat helplessly.

"If your grades aren't considered excellent, it would be hard for someone like me to graduate."

Kira Izuru turned his face halfway, and the corner of his mouth also had an unsuppressible outline.

"Just regarding this sentence, I somewhat agree..."

It feels as funny as if someone who usually gets 90 points on the test suddenly gets 89 points and then cries that he can't study anymore.

They are more or less old friends, and at this moment Hinamori Momo can fully understand the source of their teasing.

Although I want to explain a little, but from my own perspective, no matter what I say now, I feel like I can't make any sense.

In the end, I could only speak cautiously.

"But, but... the Shinkido exam isn't that difficult, right?"

This is indeed true.

Abarai Renji rarely refrained from opposing views at this moment.

"Speaking of this, there is indeed some truth in it..."

Even though he was so bad at ghost arts, he still performed quite well in this aspect.

In previous internship tests, the results achieved were enough to surprise even the parties themselves.

"But rather than saying it's easy to learn, it's more of a weird feeling."

Abarai Renji was not good at speaking. Now he half lowered his head and kept making gestures of clenching and relaxing his fists - tensing and relaxing his muscles, repeating this process, and Renji's thoughts sank slightly.

"It feels more like I'm being led directly into a certain predetermined route... I just need to inject the corresponding spiritual power, and it feels like I'll get feedback from there."

Kira Izuru tilted his head and showed a subtle smile at this moment.

"Who would understand this?"

...It’s true!

Hinamori Momoka covered her mouth but still smiled reservedly.

"After all, Abarai-kun is a staunch intuitive person, so he must be different from us in this regard."

To put it nicely, it's intuition; to put it bluntly, it's unruly savagery.

Kira Izuru seemed to share some of the same feelings in this regard, but he turned his head away at this moment, trying not to let his friends see his awkward expression.

As for the parties involved?
Although he would not back down because of these little things, he was a guy with normal values ​​after all, so he could not help but feel a little shy at this moment.

"Are you guys making fun of me again?"

"No, that's not the case." X2
“Is that so? Well…never mind. Anyway, have you seen that Rukia?”

Abarai Renji's expression seemed a little awkward.

It seemed that just saying this sentence made him feel quite embarrassed.

Hinamori Momo, who didn't know what was going on, let out a soft "ah", and her expression was obviously much more confused.

"As for Rukia, isn't she in the same class as you, Abarai-kun?"

(The original setting seemed to be that the adoption event would take place after this incident, but I changed the design - after all, Feizhen is still alive, how could he not be anxious to know the news of his sister)
Kira Izuru restrained his expression and made a 'shut up' gesture to Momoko beside him.

Although she looked small, her perception in this regard was not slow. Hinamori Momo stopped talking at the right time and just watched quietly with her eyes open.

Without waiting for Renci to reply.

Kira Izuru was the first to speak.

"First of all, Renci, I think it would be better for you to give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible..."

"Since it has been confirmed that Kuchiki-san has been taken away, he has also been transferred to another class."

"This means that from that moment on, she and we are no longer from the same world. From now on, we may meet her in more formal occasions..."

But it's definitely not this kind of place.

"Having unrealistic fantasies about reality will only hurt yourself and those who care about you."

Although Kira Izuru's personality is a bit gloomy, it is precisely because of this indifference that he can maintain a bystander's perspective in most cases.

Observe everything around you.

Abarai Renji, who was originally a little embarrassed, was completely frozen in place at this moment. His mouth opened and closed, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

But in the end, he lowered his head helplessly.

"I see……"

Helplessness, reluctance, humiliation, grief and anger?
Perhaps all these emotions exist, but none of them can occupy the so-called dominant position.

After all, for the native residents of Soul Society, the difference in identity is the chasm that separates them from each other.

Rukia.

No, now she should be called, Rukia Kuchiki.

The other party and Abarai Renji are childhood sweethearts. The two can be said to have grown up together and were admitted to the Maou Spiritual Academy at the same time.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Rukia and Abarai Renji's relationship networks almost overlap.

Others had an impression of these two people who often went in and out of the classroom together and had a very close relationship.

Maybe life will continue like this - graduate from college, pick a job that is easy to find and work, and slowly recuperate.

Until you have enough qualifications, and then climb up step by step.

Of course, I must find an opportunity to propose to Rukia during this period.

Plain and pure, simple yet sincere.

This is what Abarai Renji fantasizes about.

But there is nothing to be sad about... After all, before experiencing those major events, he was just a confused boy who had just struggled out of Rukongai.

Who can expect him to have any grand wishes?
We can't let him say those shocking words right now: 'In the past 17 months, I have trained to the point where I can fight against Aizen', right?
It will make you laugh until your stomach breaks. But having said that, Renji, who can make such a shocking statement, is essentially a brave person, but at the same time, he doesn't like to use his brain.

If it weren't for our childhood sweetheart relationship, it would be a bit unrealistic to finally be able to catch up with Rukia...

Although Hinamori Momo, who was standing next to her, didn't have a deep understanding of the current situation, she was a smart person after all.

At the moment, with just these few words, she had more or less grasped the current information content.

Peach gasped.

How can there be such explosive news?!
Although I wanted to continue listening, as a companion, I had to say something to comfort him at this time.

"Um... Abarai-kun, I don't think there is no hope for this matter..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Abarai Renji simply waved his hand, revealing a rather indifferent expression.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."

"I know Rukia's temper. Even if she is taken away, she will not succumb to the power of the outside world..."

"That girl is not someone who would submit to a noble. She must have made such a compromise because of something."

If you think about it this way.

One's future actions are also clear and obvious.

"As long as that guy is happy."

This is an attributive sentence.

It's not just a belief that Abarai Renji has firmly established, it's also a promise he made to himself.

“Isn’t it a good thing that the stars in the sky can pursue their own ideals?”

By comparison.

For wild dogs chasing after the ground, it is enough for them to just crawl on the ground.

This is what you should do. You don’t need to think too much... and you don’t need to worry about those messy things.

Becoming strong is enough.

Seeing that Abarai Renji was able to adjust his condition, the two people beside him also showed different expressions.

Hinamori Momo was somewhat happy that her friend had let go of her feelings.

"Hmm, that statement... does sound like something Abarai-kun would say."

Kira Izuru sighed faintly, and a light flickered in his eyes.

To some extent...I am a little envious.

Like this, I can easily speak my mind.

If it were Kira Izuru himself, these things would probably rot in his stomach and be taken to the grave.

"You're so straightforward, Renji."

The whispers between the three people continued, but at this moment, a familiar shout was heard from a distance.

"Everyone! We have already locked on to the target of soul burial...divide into teams, one by one!"

It’s time to get down to business.

Although they are all newcomers, they are all very serious about their work.

At this moment, there was almost no need for extra emphasis. The three of them had already put aside their distracting thoughts and showed a serious expression.

This is what the so-called elite is.

Even without the reminder of others, one will still find the right path spontaneously.

At this moment, under the gazes of the crowd, several men and women with confused expressions were being driven towards the center by three instructors from the Spiritual Arts Academy.

It seems a little inhumane.

But in fact, there is some truth to this - if the soul body that stays in the world for a long time continues to move in this way, it will easily suffer from spiritual loss.

Having a dull expression is just the first step, followed by a gradual loss of rationality.

Finally, an extremely large hole was opened in the whole called the inner heart.

virtual.

It will be conceived and born.

"So, soul burial is also part of our job... You mean to prevent this kind of situation, right?"

Abarai Renji, who was standing in the queue, looked around with a lack of interest.

"Yes, although nominally these are the main tasks of the 13th Division. But because they are also basic knowledge... that's why they are arranged as internships."

Kirara Izuru chuckled and agreed.

His right hand unconsciously clenched the fist at his waist, and his expression was a little stiff.

"Are you nervous, Izuru?"

“…Well, a little bit. It’s my first time after all.”

Being wary of the unfamiliar is not a flaw.

But Abarai Renji obviously didn't think so...

"It's just dealing with these dead people, you are really weird~"

"If possible, I hope you can use 'cautious' to describe my personality."

Hinamori Momo watched the two of them complaining to each other with a smile and was about to speak.

A scream came at this moment.
