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

Chapter 312: Special Combat Strength

When I opened my eyes, I saw the high, white ceiling.

Having lived here for several months in a row, Arima Shizuya is now familiar with this scenery.

The Quincy's identity recognition has also settled over time, becoming a fitting and practical "symbol".

Arima Shizuka also slowly sat up and stared at the place beside him.

The sunlight from the window pierced into the room, dazzling and eye-catching.

The figure sitting in front of the dressing table heard the rustling and put down the things in her hands. She turned her head halfway, and her tone was as sharp as her trimmed lightning eyebrows.

"Are you awake already?"

The relationship between the two of them had been established since Jadis Catnip moved into the mansion some time ago.

"Well... Candice got up early."

Close the powder case, press your lips together and gently tap them to make the applied color more even.

Katie showed a rather smug expression.

"This is to maintain one's image. It's an essential part. Girls need to dress up. Otherwise, it will be difficult for people to notice their charm."

This argument...

It is somewhat similar to what Yaskin said: "A woman's value does not lie in her appearance, but in whether she is fashionable or not."

There are also obvious more fundamental differences in the aesthetics between the Quincies and the Shinigami.

Of course, Arima Shizuka wouldn't care too much.

He just smiled calmly and rubbed his sleepy eyes which were not yet fully clear.

"Hey, why are you still like this... Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Dressed in home clothes, Katie came up trottingly, stretched out her right hand, pinched the corner of Arima Shizuya's mouth, and began to apply gentle force with a smile.

"If that's the case, I can be a little less active at night~"

Occasional joking remarks can indeed give people a pleasant effect on body and mind, and Arima Shizuka also chuckled and dodged the right hand.

"Really? Then please be merciful."

"You're very sincere! I'll think about it carefully."

Katie's right hand dropped down, and her fingertips rubbed against Arima Shizuya's chest. The moment her eyes changed slightly, she had already taken half a step forward.

He bit Arima Shizuya's lips.

It is hard to say whether it is simply for venting or a way for the person concerned to express intimacy.

Jadis narrowed her eyes slightly, and her pupils exuded a sense of 'satisfaction', as if she was declaring some kind of sovereignty.

His personality is as straightforward and simple as thunder.

When you hate someone, you can grit your teeth, and when you like someone, you can naturally be clingy.

When they have an advantage, they will attack the opponent head-on, and even when they are at a disadvantage, they will not completely surrender...

In terms of personality, he does tend to be a bit of a small fry.

No wonder he became the first victim after Strawberry Brother’s strengthening.

Katie hummed an unknown tune and looked up and down at Arima Shizuya. Her lips slightly raised, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"There's still time left, let's play for a while."

It was not a discussion, but more like a statement of something that was going to happen. Jadis tilted her head back slightly and threw her long light green hair behind her.

She grabbed it with her left hand and opened her right hand slightly. The azure spirit particle flowed around her wrist until it took shape.

A string of small and delicate spirit strings that glowed with faint blue fluorescence appeared on her body.

"How is it? You taught me the spirit particle manipulation skills before. Doesn't this seem like a big improvement?"

There was a hint of pretentiousness in his tone, which made Arima Shizuya's expression become a little more subtle. He blinked, smiled and nodded.

"Indeed, compared to the rough methods before, this is indeed much more sophisticated."

"Hmph, there are some more interesting things."

talking.

Katie shook her head to one side and used the spirit belt to tie up her messy long hair and tie it tightly.

The long hair that used to set off the face shape and decorative style has been removed. Such a straightforward style highlights the importance of facial features.

It is not recommended for people without any experience to do this...

It was the first time she saw such a clean and refreshing look. Arima Jing was slightly stunned and didn't quite understand what Katie wanted to do.

But the other person had already leaned forward with a smile and slowly lay down.

……

Omit the content for a period of time.

The two of them briefly enjoyed the afterglow of the night, and after everything was over, they quickly packed up their belongings.

"Sit down, I'll help you with your hair."

Taking care of Arima Shizuya's long hair every day has now become one of Katie's daily tasks.

"I always feel a little embarrassed to bother you so often..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I really like your hair. It's black and thick, and looks very beautiful!"

Use a comb to tidy it up, making it smooth and neat. Katie looked at the black hair in front of her carefully and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"It's a good thing you took good care of it before, otherwise it would be difficult to keep such long hair oily... Well, the servant did a good job before!"

It is commendable.

But that's all, after all...

"Your craftsmanship is still far behind mine!"

Arima Jing also wanted to say something, but this was the other person's character after all. She hesitated for a moment and then shook her head with a dumb smile.

Forget it, just be happy.

After taking care of the appearance, Cathy followed suit and changed into a close-fitting military uniform.

After putting on a proper cloak and fastening it with buttons on the right shoulder, this guy did not forget to look in the mirror to correct some crooked places.

Literally 'image-conscious'.

But this is also the other person's character, so there is no need to say more.

But Arima Jing also saw that the other party was wearing a pair of high-top military boots, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Why don't you wear the same clothes anymore?"

When we first met, Katie looked basically the same as she did in the original novel.

Although it is the same white base military uniform, both the waist and trouser legs have been significantly cut, which is the kind of outfit that highlights the figure.

Jadis, who was fiddling with her earrings with a serious expression, uttered a soft "uh" and half turned her head.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Well, of course it's because... I'm already with the person I like."

"If I dress like that again, people will gossip about me, right?"

"I don't care about other people's opinions, but if it causes you trouble, I think it's unnecessary..."

As if to emphasize her point, Candice took a few steps back, stood beside Arima Shizuya, and grabbed his arm.

"You are all I need now! So everything else can be ignored."

Very straightforward statement.

"What about the Knights who were on good terms with you before?" "Ah... those guys you mean?"

What Arima Shizuya was referring to were naturally the remaining members of the girl group.

At this moment, Katie showed a rather disgusted expression. She clicked her tongue, waved her hand gently, and her face showed an indifferent expression.

"They are just drinking buddies. We don't really get along with each other. I don't know about the others, but I just can't stand one of them..."

"Before, in order to maintain the relationship between us, I was able to be more patient and not say anything too extreme."

"But it's fine now! Since we're no longer together, I don't want to watch that stinky woman go crazy."

With a happy look on her face, Candice leaned against Arima Shizuya's side and rubbed her head against his shoulder like a cat.

"Out of sight, out of mind. Seeing you makes a difference... Every day is so happy!"

Arima Shizuka also roughly understood who the guy that Cathy was talking about was.

In a girl group, the only one who could be secretly excluded by everyone without knowing it was probably Bumby...

In the original book, there was a scene where Katie expressed disdain and disgust towards this guy's indiscriminate killing character.

Although the discussion is quite convoluted, the main idea has been clearly expressed.

It's a bit emotional.

The guy who was so carefree and complacent before would actually show this kind of expression.

"let's go."

"Ok!"

Go to the conference room under the tower.

This place itself is a regulatory area. Unless you are a holder of the holy text of the Stern Cross Knights, you cannot enter it at all.

Arima Shizuya and the other person arrived relatively early.

Enter and take your seat.

Arima Shizuka, who was a member of the royal guard, was not seated at the round table. Instead, she sat directly behind the throne, on the benches that were arranged side by side.

Katie found her seat, and just as she sat down, everyone who originally belonged to the girl group turned their eyes over.

Minina covered her mouth and spoke as if to herself.

"Caddys has really changed a lot..."

Giselle's cockroach hair flicked and she raised her right index finger innocently.

"It seems like it's all because of that man! She's become much more conservative in her dressing~"

Litoto slumped down on the chair, stammering a soft "ah" through her lips.

"Turning a bitch into a girl? That's a really impressive power."

Bambietta folded her arms over her chest, tapped the floor uncomfortably with her feet, and her eyes began to wander around.

"What? She just changed her outfit. Why is everyone paying so much attention to her?"

The girls in the group all looked towards her with expressions that were almost pity.

"No, your point is weird..."

"It's better to say that this is a normal performance of Bumbi-chan."

"After all, we can't expect apes to learn to speak like humans, right?"

Someone almost immediately developed a tendency to become red-hot.

And on the other side.

Arima Shizuya had just sat down when a cup of steaming tea suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Oh, you came early today."

Yaskin held the cup in his right hand, lifted it up lightly with his little finger, and showed a frivolous smile.

"How about a cup of hot cocoa before we start reminiscing?"

There is no reason to refuse.

Arima Shizuka also took it and thanked him softly.

"Don't be so polite~ We are colleagues after all, especially those whom His Majesty said he values."

"Because of this, it is only natural to maintain a good relationship, right?"

"But the others are difficult to communicate with...Arima-kun, can you understand my troubles?"

Yaskin spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"There are some abnormal guys in the Royal Guard~"

Arima Shizuka also tried to understand.

The big stupid Gerard, the mute Penida, the cold-faced man Lijie... these guys obviously don't fit in with Yaskin's aesthetics.

It is normal that you cannot hang out with these people.

"But Arima-kun is a little different. I feel like we should get along better."

Seeing the other person supporting his chin with his left hand and looking at him with a playful expression, Arima Jing couldn't help but hum.

“Why do you have such an idea?”

"You, have a girlfriend."

Yaskin pointed at Arima Shizuya's chest with a smile.

"People with desires have humanity. Compared to those who can't speak and have weird minds, I still prefer to communicate with 'normal people'."

"Besides, you have good taste. Jadis is a very tasteful person. Even now, she dresses in style."

"The value of a woman lies in having her own ideas and persistence. In this regard, I think you and I will have a lot in common."

no doubt.

Yaskin has his own unique aesthetic perception, and he also thinks about things beyond the Knights Templar.

Arima Shizuya wanted to say something when a door not far away opened and Ishida Uryuu walked in.

As both of them were members of the Royal Guard, they made eye contact for a moment.

As if she understood something, Arima Shizuka also nodded slightly at this moment.

The other party took his seat in silence, and because of the presence of other people, Yaskin restrained his original strong desire to express himself.

As the number of people grew, some noisy guys also played a similar role in livening up the atmosphere.

In this conference room with nearly thirty people, the hustle and bustle makes it seem cheerful and casual.

The atmosphere was completely different from that of the Gotei 13, and even Arima Shizuka felt an inexplicable feeling.

Soon, with Haschwalth's entrance, the stern-faced ancestor of the Quincy finally appeared.

He walked forward slowly, sat upright on the throne, and looked down at everyone present.

After a pause of three breaths, his hoarse voice spread throughout the conference room.

"It's time, and we are fully prepared."

"And we, the Quincies, will also take revenge on Soul Society... and fulfill our long-cherished wish."

"Before that, everyone must remember the information about the following people. Because their strength may affect the outcome of the battle and cause us heavy casualties."

Yhwach called him...

"Special combat power."
