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

Chapter 37: Gardenias Bloom in the Bushes
Just like the future that Yui had foreseen.

Arima Shizuya's slash hit the target, completely slicing through Kiyomaru's shoulder, severing the muscles, blood vessels, and tissues...

Until it got stuck in front of the clavicle, which was as thick as a giant bear.

Although he had expected this, after actually seeing the 'real thing', the boy couldn't help but show an expression of emotion.

It's a bit regrettable.

After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The other party was careless and didn't take me seriously. I used all my skills to seize the unique moment...

A perfect moment.

It’s a pity that Arima Shizuya’s strength was really limited, and he was unable to completely cut open Gui Yancheng’s flesh.

That’s all…

Thoughts were floating in his mind, and a dark shadow flashed in front of Arima Shizuya.

The boy just had time to curl up his body before he was slapped by Gui Yancheng, and flew out like an arrow.

The body spun uncontrollably and finally crashed into a kimono shop on the street.

Arima Shizuka also collapsed a large area of ​​buildings. She struggled to get up, but in the end she could only helplessly disperse her strength and collapsed in the ruins.

My body is numb and sore, and I can't even move a finger.

This is the consequence of pushing spiritual pressure to the limit.

Just like being at the mercy of others in the literal sense, this is the 'true portrayal' of Arima Shizuya at the moment.

The Möbius strip has not yet been solved.

But this is also the limit of what the boy can do, and it is the critical point where the unyielding can fight back.

So what kind of outcome will I face? The distant future that I cannot see is now in a state of confusion.

While thinking, Arima Jing heard it.

Gui Yancheng's hysterical roar came from outside.

“Gahhhhhhh!!!”

Damn...isn't this still full of energy?

The boy couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was not surprised by the result.

After all, with the spiritual power of only the chief officer level, he was able to injure a captain-level character. To be able to do this was already an outstanding performance.

He simply closed his eyes.

And outside.

Gui Yancheng, who was covering the wound on his shoulder and sweating profusely, was shouting and screaming.

"What the hell is it standing there for?! Come up and help me treat my wound!"

Being injured is not uncommon, and he is a scoundrel from Rukongai. Logically, he should not be in such a state of disgrace...

But the situation is different.

He was just a nobody, yet he injured himself to such an extent.

It feels like being bitten by a rabbit. Anyone would be surprised, or even stunned.

Humiliation, resentment, anger.

A mixture of anger and shame, he vented his feelings hysterically on other people at this moment.

"Get over here!"

The members of the 11th Squad nearby came up belatedly.

Looking at the wound that continued to ooze blood, Gui Yancheng looked at his flustered subordinates, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious.

It's all waste.

Those who cannot help you are trash, and those who deserve to be killed but resist are scum.

I just wanted to have some drinks and play with a woman today, why did it turn out like this? !
He slapped the team member next to him on the head.

Listening to the shrill screams of others and witnessing the splattering blood and debris.

The annoyance in Gui Yancheng's heart was gradually filled, and the expression on his face eased a little.

Forget it, I can’t keep fussing about it like this… The problem is still that annoying brat.

Break all of that guy's bones, cut off his limbs, and then torture him in every way possible.

He turned to the frightened team members and shouted, "Don't just stand there, come here and give me the thing that's not dead yet..."

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a loud sighing sound in the distance.

"It's a noble traveling! Captain, a convoy of a famous noble is passing by here!"

"What……"

Gui Yancheng glanced angrily in the direction where the team members came from. He did see a chaotic crowd gathering and retreating to both sides.

When nobles travel, pomp and circumstance are an indispensable part. Now that I have witnessed such a scene, it is naturally more credible.

No way.

Rather than venting his anger, it was more important to prevent the nobles from seeing his miserable appearance.

Otherwise, I'll end up saying something to old man Yamamoto... and that would be a waste of time.

"Hey, I'm leaving first! After the nobles leave, go and drag that kid out and bring him to our team!"

Covering the wound on his shoulder, Gui Yancheng turned and left.

The nobles' motorcade arrived as promised, but this kind of pomp and crowd always gave people a dreamlike feeling.

Arima Shizuka was also looking at the ceiling in front of her vaguely.

Complications from blood loss caused his breathing to become abnormally short.

This is not good... I will go into shock if I continue like this. So who can help me? !
In her dying moments, Arima Jing could only see a slightly familiar figure walking into the room and finally standing in front of her.

That faint smile.

There is no need to discuss who is coming.

"Aizen, teacher..."

Before he could finish his words, Arima Shizuya fainted.

……

……

……

What you smell is a refreshing fragrance.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a completely unfamiliar ceiling.

He was covered with a white quilt and a porcelain vase with flowers hung above the bed.

White Gardenia...

The fragrance covers the smell of disinfectant, highlighting a subtle sense of luxury.

Arima Shizuka also sat up in confusion and looked around.

Where is this place?
It didn’t look pale…it was obviously not a proper hospital.

So where does this take me? Still in China?

While I was thinking, I heard footsteps outside. Not long after, the Japanese-style sliding door was gently opened.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked in from outside.

I say familiar because the other person's image is too classic, to the point that you will never forget it once you have seen it.

The reason for being unfamiliar was because it was the "first meeting". After all, strictly speaking, this was the first time that Arima Shizuka met the other party.

She was a gentle and peaceful looking woman with long black hair parted in the middle and wearing a haori that symbolized her status as captain.

Her eyes scanned the room for a while, then settled on Arima Shizuya.

The boy saw the other person's smile blooming like a flower.

"Are you awake already? That's great."

"After all, you slept for three days and three nights in one go. Even I am a little worried. If I can confirm your news, the Aizen Four Seats will feel a little relieved."

"Ah... sorry, I think I forgot to introduce myself. Is this still our first meeting?"

The other person's hands were intertwined in front of him, and the quiet smile on his face was serene and peaceful.

"I am the captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu."
