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

Chapter 308 Chapter 307: The Star Cross Knights

The center of the invisible empire.

It is on top of the tallest and most towering tower.

Arima Shizuya and the other person were not able to fall directly into the front area. Following the guidance of the stairs, they stayed in the middle area.

Haschwald followed closely behind and spoke at the right time after the two of them had gained their footing.

"You must not be too rude when meeting His Majesty. You must start from here before moving forward."

It feels like a show of force in some sense.

But it doesn't matter. After all, the two of them had already made corresponding psychological preparations before setting off...It is reasonable to be embarrassed.

However, as they walked, some figures appearing from both sides from time to time attracted some of their attention.

"Hey Hugo, what's going on with these two?! What does it have to do with that spiritual pressure just now?"

The tone was high and the look was that of a rumormonger.

He was a man with an arrogant look on his face, his chin slightly raised, his hands in his pockets, he had green eyes, and a vertical purple-red Mohawk hairstyle.

The earrings are quite fashionable and the gaze is straightforward and undisguised.

"What are you here for? To see His Majesty? Huh? With your poor appearance? You should at least be selective!"

Hasward had no intention of paying any attention to him. At this moment, he just lowered his head and followed the two of them in silence.

Arima Shizuka also took the time to glance at him and silently stated his name in her heart.

Buzby, the owner of the holy word 'H', is also Haschwald's childhood friend... The relationship between the two is almost equivalent to that between Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida.

It’s just a pity that the bond between these two people is not that strong.

After just a quick glance, Arima Jing then retracted his gaze.

The three of them continued to move forward almost without stopping, and this "ease" was, in another sense, also a condescending disregard.

How could a guy who already has a bad temper possibly swallow his anger?

“You guys…”

The words have not yet fallen.

"Come on, idiot. This is happening right under the nose of His Majesty."

A lazy and casual tone was spoken, and several figures appeared together and stood directly next to Buzby.

The leader was petite, with his head hung and his hands hanging down, and there was no trace of enthusiasm in his body.

Although she looks like a little girl, her tone is quite mature.

"Don't bring us unnecessary trouble just because of your display of personality, baldy."

Litoto Lampado, said so.

"Um... my last thoughts were accidentally exposed. Is this really okay?"

The idol-like girl with long pink hair, whose figure and height are in stark contrast to Litoto, is covering her mouth with one hand and looking to the side.

"There will be a quarrel, right?"

Minnina Macaron, although she looks quite gentle, actually possesses the sacred letter 'P' which symbolizes power, and is also a rather contrasting character.

"It doesn't matter what happens! If we really have to fight, I'll blow you all away!"

Another high tone no less than Buzby's.

A black-haired girl who looked full of energy walked out, stepped out with her right foot with full energy, and stepped on the high ground in front of her.

Her waist-length hair fluttered in the wind, and she held down her military cap with one hand, not caring at all that her skirt was also lifted up, revealing her secret side...

"So, where is the so-called new guy?! Let me take a good look!"

Bambietta Basta married.

This heavyweight figure probably needs no introduction.

"Keep your voice down...you're so noisy."

The woman with a slightly rough voice, pressing her earlobes and showing an unhappy face, walked slowly forward and came to the edge of the stairs.

He is tall, with grass green medium-length hair parted on the side. Although he is wearing the same standard military uniform, it is deliberately cut into a short style to highlight his figure.

It can be seen that he is a guy who cares a lot about appearance.

Jadis Catnip, that was the name of this fashionable and fiery woman.

"It's better not to quarrel at this time. If His Majesty finds out, we'll all be doomed."

The figure who came last and appeared with Katie was a slender guy.

Her long black hair was combed in a feminine style, except for the two tentacles that formed a drooping angle in front of her forehead. Her tone was playful and charming, and it was easy for people to misunderstand her.

Giselle Juelle, owner of the holy letter 'Z'.

He is a man who looks very much like a woman.

Litoto Lampado seemed quite unhappy with this scene; she looked up at the sky, sighed, and muttered to herself.

"A bunch of bitches..."

Arima Shizuka just quietly watched the various reactions of these people. Although her face was expressionless at the moment, her thoughts were constantly surging in her heart.

“I see. So, these high-ranking members of the Knights are all gathered in Yhwach’s tower…”

No wonder only Kiluje was seen below before.

Considering the identity of the other party's recruitment captain, he probably chose to operate there because of his public office.

After sorting out these thoughts, Arima Jing also retracted his gaze and continued to look up in silence.

Ishida Uryu's ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments is not outstanding, but fortunately, he has someone to lead the way. No matter how uneasy he is, he can still overcome it through learning.

The steps continue to extend upwards.

The people who were ignored were gradually left behind and walked away.

The experience of being ignored like this was naturally not a good one, and several people present showed displeased expressions.

“I say, what is the origin of these two guys?! Are they guards who have risen from the bottom? This kind of high-minded but incompetent attitude is really infuriating!”

Although Bambietta's loud and shouting appearance is hard to be liked by others, at that moment, she has become a substitute for others.

It can resonate with some people to some extent.

"I kind of agree. That kind of aloof look makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance."

Buzby frowned slightly, half-raised his right hand, and rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

Wisps of firelight were faintly visible from it, illuminating its face in varying degrees of brightness and revealing a rather dangerous aura.

"Although I don't really want to explain it to you, judging from the way those two are dressed, they are most likely not residents of the empire."

Litoto opened her mouth and yawned.

"And considering that Haschwald personally led them up there, I'm afraid the backgrounds of these two people can't be that simple."

As one of the few people with brains in the girl group, Litotto is also a 'captain' in the literal sense.

Minina clasped her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly and humming in thought.

Um~
"If that's the case, then the origins of these two people must be very complicated, right?"

Gisele, the little transvestite, tried to express her own speculation.

"Could it be His Majesty's illegitimate child outside?"

"It's better to say less of this kind of joke that could backfire..."

Compared to the curiosity of others, Katie behaved a little differently.

The guy just clenched his teeth slightly and began to mutter in a rather indignant tone.

"If I had known that this guy was so unpleasant, I wouldn't have come to see him... I would have stayed in my room and fixed my hair first!"

Minina half turned her head and spoke in a questioning tone.

"Why does Candice play with your hair all day?"

"Short hair is easy to curl! Don't compare me with long-haired freaks like you. I spend a lot of effort on my image every day!"

Litoto, who also had short hair, glanced over and just repeated in a flat tone, "What a bitch."

Of course, Arima Shizuya and others were completely unable to see the scene behind them.

Because as the stairs spread, upwards.

Other different members of the Stern Cross Knights have appeared on the left and right sides.

"You actually brought someone here? Hasward, this is what you call a newcomer!"

An extremely cheerful tone.

A mysterious man with a naked upper body, muscular body and wearing a mask appeared in front of Arima Shizuya and others, with a voice as exaggerated as his body.

He was grinning, and although his face couldn't be seen clearly, his attitude was certainly enthusiastic.

"Newbies! What are your abilities? How about you fight with me before you meet His Majesty?!"

"My name is Gerard! Gerard Valkyrie, a member of His Majesty's personal guard and one of the most powerful Quincy!"

"If you have any bad thoughts about Your Majesty, just step over my dead body first, hahahaha!"

Even though no one talked to him.

This guy can laugh like this without caring about anything...

Although it is quite abstract from a physical sense, this guy's strength is definitely not ordinary.

After all, the three words "Royal Guard" themselves have extraordinary significance.

Everyone in the original work is an extremely difficult guy, and their abilities themselves require a lot of effort to target.

The redistribution implemented by Youhabach through the Holy Seal directly made up for the numerical gap between the Royal Guards and other opponents.

It can be said that there are no weaknesses at all.

and……

Gerrard's background is also of some concern.

“The individual that was transformed from the Soul King’s heart…”

I can only say that King Ling, this old Deng, is really full of treasures. He can grow into a human figure by peeling off any object.

"..."

Although there was no talking, there was no other movement in any meaningful sense.

But Arima Jing seemed to sense something at this moment, and couldn't help but turn his head halfway and stare to the other side.

there.

I don't know when, but a strange figure was standing there.

The other person was very petite, even smaller than Litoto. He was wearing a white robe that symbolized the Knights, with his hood pulled tight, so that even his face could not be seen clearly.

Only a pair of eyes shone through it, revealing a strong sense of inhumanity.

Ishida Uryu turned his head towards the direction where Arima Shizuya was staring, and was inevitably surprised when he saw it.

"...!!!"

It was hard to imagine that there was a 'living' person right next to him, and he was completely unaware of it.

"You are amazing. You were able to immediately notice that Penida was right beside you. You are so sharp. It seems that you are not a simple guy."

Two figures came closer from above.

The person who spoke was the man standing on the left... He opened his hands as if to express his goodwill.

"Don't be too nervous~ I'm not the type who's good at fighting."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yaskin Nakluval. As you can see..."

"I am also a member of the Royal Guard."

The man had a single, slightly curly bang on his forehead, a relaxed posture, and a nonchalant smile on his face.

"Of course, if you look down on me because of my attitude, that would be a real headache. Hmm..."

After a pause, he added softly.

"This is also a fatal carelessness."

No waiting for response.

The person standing next to him retracted his scrutinizing gaze at this moment.

Choosing to speak at the last moment is not only because of the difference in status, but also because of responsibility.

"That's enough of the idle chatter. What exactly do these two uninvited guests want when they come to your Majesty's bedroom?"

He was a black man with short white hair and a black crosshair mark covering his closed left eye.

He raised his chin slightly and could feel the contempt in his expression.

There is no doubt that despite some polite words, the other party still maintains this condescending attitude...there is no equality at all.

"My name is Litje Barrow."

"He is the man that Your Majesty first gave power to, and he is also Your Majesty's most perfect masterpiece."

"Anyone who does anything bad to your majesty, or even threatens you, will be punished by me."

It was as if I had already made the corresponding assumption in my mind.

A man named Litjie Barrow.

He slightly raised the spear hanging in his right hand.

"Before you meet His Majesty, please explain your purpose first."

This guy was very hostile. Arima Shizuka raised her eyebrows slightly, and while half turning sideways, she pulled Ishida Uryu behind her.

A little surprising.

But in a sense, it makes sense.

——It was unexpected that I could meet Yhwach smoothly along the way.

Haschwald wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth...

In this tense atmosphere, a voice came from the high platform.

"Lijie... let them come over."

Like an imperial edict.

More like some kind of oracle.

The 'royal guards' who were originally on alert relaxed instantly and stepped back, allowing Arima Shizuya and others to move forward.

Ishida Uryuu couldn't help but be nervous at this moment. After all, for him... it was hard to imagine the guy who killed his biological mother.

It's just not far away.

Only Ma Jing raised his right hand and gently pressed it on his shoulder.

While encouraging each other, the two set off again.

Until we reached the highest platform.

There is nothing here, except for that thing standing in the center, like an unchanging stone, quietly and firmly surrounding...

The King of the Quincy.

Yhwach looked at the two of them calmly.

After a few breaths, he slightly opened his lips and uttered words without any trace of sadness or joy in his hoarse voice.

"I've seen it all..."

"Ishida Uryu, my lost child. You are so lucky to have returned to my arms."

"As for the other person, you... I can't see anything at all."

Then.

"Who are you anyway?"
