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

Chapter 24 024: Apology

Ichibone is a white-knuckle fighting technique that originated from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

It is the 'basic' content that is documented.

Yes, even though the author is the captain-general, the content is still not noble at all and is classified within the most basic scope.

And the reason.

But it's just for a simple and plain reason.

Ichigo simply used all the muscles in his body and his spiritual pressure to drive his right fist to punch out at the fastest speed.

No fancy tricks or shortcuts.

Only through hard work and blood and sweat can this white fighting technique be refined and honed to perfection.

That is why it appeared in the original textbooks and became active in the impressions of many college students as a form of basic skills.

But that's exactly why.

"Most people will subconsciously underestimate this technique."

Arima Shizuka also let out a long breath.

He slowly lowered his hands, with the azure spirit that had not yet completely dissipated remaining on them, as light as a hovering fish.

The young man calmed down and looked at the frightened Omaeda in front of him with a peaceful smile.

"Senior, I guess you are also someone who has neglected the skills of fighting after graduation."

After all, it is not difficult to find out if you study it carefully.

"The muscles and spiritual pressure mobilized by One Bone can be switched to the next stage very smoothly, and then directly perform Double Bone."

One strike doesn't break it, but two strikes penetrate it.

This is the essence of this move.

Arima Shizuka also smiled.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to push away the fine hair that fell on his forehead, but before he could form the movement, his face was already twisted into a ball.

"It hurts..."

The two bones that had condensed into shape did not hit the opponent.

At the very end, Arima Shizuka suddenly curbed her forward momentum.

The attack did not penetrate Omaeda's flesh, but in exchange, Arima Shizuya's hands were invaded by the counterattack force.

At this moment, the skin and flesh are already showing signs of congestion and numbness.

Omaeda Nozomi opened his mouth in a daze and took several deep breaths.

"You, why are you doing this?"

"Senpai Ohmaeda, we don't have any deep hatred, do we?"

Arima Shizuka also grinned and spoke loudly.

"This is just a contest, not a life-and-death battle. It's enough that the winner has been decided. Moreover, a farce like today should be enough to stop here."

There is no point in continuing to bleed.

It would not be beneficial for either himself or the opponent to let Omaeda, the vice-captain of the second squad, fall out of the field in a mess.

In the end, it will only make this monkey show more popular and make Arima Shizuya's student career more eye-catching.

Because of momentary anger, one does things that harm others and oneself.

This is actually an extremely immature behavior.

"Ohmaeda-senpai, I just want to study quietly and don't want to continue to attract attention."

There are still more than a hundred years before the plot officially begins.

Arima Jing didn't feel anxious at all. He just wanted to take one step at a time and slowly experience the process of becoming stronger.

This is the basis of the boy's understanding.

Of course, Arima Shizuka also has her own little plans.

He blinked his eyes frivolously and whispered to Omaeda.

"Senior, for today's sake, please... give me more convenience in the future."

Although the surname Omaeda is not as exaggerated as the four great nobles, it also has its own ancestral business and territory.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Xi Zhijin retired and returned home, he would still be a rich man...

Being a rich man on the list can only be beneficial to Arima Shizuya now.

Xi Zhijin was still in a daze, and Ye Yi, who was watching from the audience, flew forward.

As the head of Shifengyuan, her aura is indeed extraordinary.

Even though he was sandwiched between two men over 1.80 meters tall, Yoruichi still demonstrated his unparalleled presence.

She held her head high, lifted Arima Shizuya's left hand high, and shouted loudly to all around.

"On behalf of Shifengyuan, this competition is won by Arima Shizuya!"

Huh? How did things turn out like this again...

"Ah, that..."

The person involved wanted to say something else.

But after being glared at by Ye Yi, whatever he wanted to say was swallowed back into his stomach.

He could think of a way to win over the vice-captain by using clever tricks, but when it came to facing the head of Shifengyuan, it would be quicker to shake his head...

I can't beat him, and I can't convince him.

If he doesn't behave himself, it's hard to say whether this young lady with a fickle personality will come up with the idea of ​​knocking him out first.

So my peaceful college life is going to end like this?
Even though it was just a competition between two people, since both sides used spiritual pressure to compete, the value of the competition was naturally incomparable.

Looking at the excited crowd below the stage, Arima Shizuka could only give an awkward and perfunctory smile.

It's all a mess!

"Hey, Arima Shizuya."

Yoruichi's voice came from beside him. The person in question turned his head halfway and saw that the other person was looking at him with admiring eyes.

It must be after a pause of several breaths.

Arima Shizuya just heard what the other party said.

"Are you interested in marrying into the Shihouin family?" "...Huh?"

……

One day later.

"So what's your answer?"

At night, the sparring session ended in the kendo field.

Arima Shizuka also sat side by side with Tosen Kaname, and the two drank bottled green tea together and began their usual post-training chat.

"Of course I refused! What were you thinking...If I had agreed, would I still be here?"

That is indeed the truth.

Tosen put down the plastic bottle in his hand, turned his head, and pointed his ear towards Arima Shizuya.

"Then why don't you say yes?"

"Marrying into the Shifengyuan family should be a hundred benefits for you, right?"

"The resources that the nobles possess are not comparable to those of commoners like us. Moreover, they value your talent."

"I'm sure you won't be too stingy with me... Arima Shizuya, from your perspective, I can't imagine any reason to refuse."

When the person heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of disgust.

"You are so snobby, Dongxian. I am not a giant panda. What I want is not breeding but love."

not to mention……

"I don't have the final say on who I marry after I marry into the family. Although the people in the Shifengyuan family are all very beautiful, who knows if there will be any accidents?"

Tosen Kaname was silent for a moment, confused, and then asked.

“What is a giant panda?”

"...some kind of rare and protected animal. Never mind, just think of it as a slip of the tongue. Don't think about it anymore!"

By the way, Arima Shizuka also remembered that Shihoin Yoruichi had a younger brother.

Although they don't look much different and her temperament is very gentle, she has the potential to be a masculine man.

But Arima Jing had no interest in this regard.

No sissy boys! No sissy boys!

Of course, these are just the most superficial reasons.

In the final analysis.

“I still prefer life here.”

Arima Jing also looked at Tosen Yaoi with a smile, feeling even more emotional in her heart.

Shihouin Yoruichi's sudden invitation was indeed surprising, but after calming down, she quickly realized that this was a 'trap option'.

After all, if he really chose to marry into the family, not only would he completely sever his ties with Aizen.

It will become much more difficult to contact the Gotei 13 afterwards.

After all, what freedom does a son-in-law have? Especially for an aristocrat with a feudal background.

If they don't treat you like a canary, it's probably because of the boss's face.

But you can't get carried away just because of your noble title and do something you'll regret.

What's more, Arima Jing has absolutely no opinion on the current environment.

In terms of kendo, Tosen Yaoi himself has the potential to be a captain.

By continuing to practice with this guy, the growth of Arima Shizuya's kendo attribute value can be said to be the most stable item.

The other three major items have not yet found a stable growth point.

But as long as you continue to stay in the academy, you will find the right opportunity sooner or later.

After all, Doraemon is there, so if you are unsure about anything, just ask - I just want to ask if the Shifengyuan family can provide such abundant resources?

There's no way to compare!
While thinking, Arima Shizuya heard Tosen suddenly speak.

"Arima, I'm sorry."

"…Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

Seeing that Dongxian was about to drop his head, he was silent for a while and then spoke softly.

"As a friend, I failed to lend you a helping hand when you needed it most. I feel guilty about this and have once again violated my principles."

You can't be afraid of power. This is clearly the rule that Dongxian wants to set for himself.

But when Arima Shizuka was also facing oppression, he hesitated... although judging from the result, there seemed to be no problem.

But did I really do the right thing?

"I am no different from my old self. I thought I had changed, but I still feel scared and insecure..."

Arima Shizuka also showed a surprised expression.

He pondered for a moment, and faced with the heavy self-blame, he spoke softly.

"It's okay. I would do the same if it were me."

"But this is wrong!"

Tosen Kaname's voice rose three octaves, and his hands were clenched so tightly that his body began to tremble slightly.

"I didn't come here to study just to weigh the pros and cons. I have my own goals. I want to become stronger so that I can find true justice..."

"Hey, Tou Sen."

Interrupting the other party's statement without any hesitation, Arima Shizuka looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"I have said something similar to you before, right? Don't worry too much about the present. As long as you can practice your own will after you grow up, that will be enough."

"Be it fairness or equality. Since these are the goals of Tōsen, we should be more resolute in our beliefs."

"Consider these hardships and annoyances as training, which may make you feel better."

Arima Shizuka also giggled and stretched out her right hand, patting his shoulder jokingly.

"As for the other stuff...ha, that's too formal, Tou Xian!"

To know.

"We are friends."
