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

Chapter 41: Separation is only for meeting

"You can apply to withdraw the deduction of credits for absences through an appeal. Since we are all aware of the situation, you were injured while doing something righteous outside the school, right?"

"It's okay. Mr. Aizen has already made a report on this matter, and everyone approves of your behavior."

"So according to the regulations, you just need to fill in these forms and report them."

"But there's no way to make up for the missed lessons these days... Well, for a guy like you, it doesn't matter if you don't attend classes."

"After all, you are now a first-year... no, you are considered an outstanding genius in the entire Maou Spiritual Academy."

Ise Nanao pushed her glasses on her nose and handed all the sorted documents to Arima Shizuya.

"Okay, genius, please go through the process."

"...???"

Although I am glad that others have made many preparations for me.

But listening to these words now always feels a bit ironic.

So has Ise Nanao always had this soft-knife style?

Wow, Captain Kyoraku, your relatives are so difficult to get along with!
Arima Jing took the prepared file bag with a wry smile and nodded in response.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

"It's just a small favor, it's no big deal."

Ise Nanao half turned her head, her brows lowered, revealing a rather emotional expression.

"You've made great progress. I'm afraid that Arima-kun no longer has any deficiencies in the area of ​​ghost arts."

"No, no, no, it's all thanks to the guidance from the senior some time ago."

"Have you ever seen a child teach an adult how to use chopsticks?"

It's funny just to think about it.

Now, in Ise Nanao's view, that was exactly what she had done back then.

"You really like to hide your incompetence..."

His face was full of emotion.

It is not surprising to hear such remarks. After all, compared with a true genius, Ise Nanao's talent is indeed beyond reach.

But this is also as it should be. After all, if not for this, this man would not appear so dazzling.

not to mention.

"Don't you have more important things to do than chatting with me?"

Having said that, Arima Jing felt embarrassed to continue pestering her.

"Then I'll be leaving first, senior, see you later!"

Sitting behind the windowsill, Ise Nanao supported her chin with one hand, and the smile on her face bloomed like a lotus flower on the pond.

"Well, let's go slowly without seeing you off."

Watching the other person's back gradually disappearing into the distance, Ise Nanao finally couldn't help but sigh.

Although I am mentally prepared, I still feel a little conflicted.

After all…if I had reacted a little earlier, the relationship between the two wouldn't have been so awkward.

The spring breeze knocks on the door, but before you can react, it floats away to a distant place.

……

Arima Shizuka also wanted to meet Totetsu Yuune, but was told that the other party had already gone to the Fourth Division to start his internship.

It was probably during this period that Kotetsu Yuune developed a feeling of respect and admiration for Unohana Retsu...

It seems that the other party's path is already a fait accompli in a sense.

Then let’s talk about it later when we have time.

The next person I'm going to meet is...

Dongxian wants it.

This guy is as active as ever.

Even after 'seeing' that Arima Shizuka was safe and sound, he still grinned, revealing an inexplicable smile.

"It's good that you're not dead."

Who would say such unlucky words when they first met? But think about it carefully, let the rigid and persistent person take the initiative to joke.

Isn’t this progress in itself?
The two found a place nearby to sit down and chatted casually.

Considering the relationship between the two parties, Arima Jing had no intention of hiding the truth from Heipi Xiage and told him everything.

Tosen expressed his gratitude for Arima Shizuya's trust and made corresponding comments.

"So, that ghost Yan Cheng should hate you very much."

"Huh? Why?"

"I've heard of the 11th Division. It's a division that's dedicated to combat types... and this guy is acting so violent and exaggerated. He must be a man who shows his joy easily."

Tosen lowered his head, clasped his hands in front of him, and spoke in a normal tone.

"People who are immersed in violence cannot accept failure. Arrogance, fragility, and fragile self-esteem are the true portrayal of this kind of people."

"I think he will hate you very much, especially after knowing that you are just a student."

"It's as exaggerated as a hunter who claims to be highly skilled, but is bitten by a rabbit and his skin is torn to pieces."

...A very insightful comment. So are blind people the type who speak very sharply?
It's a little tricky.

After all, although Arima Shizuya has made some progress, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

Even if he got the upper hand and was the lowest-ranking person among the captains... he was still a real third-class spiritual power.

Sooner or later, I will catch up with the other party.

But at least at this stage, Gui Yancheng is definitely not an opponent he can handle...

Oh, so I really have to stay in college until I graduate?
"Look." Arima Jing also scratched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. Dongxian wanted to raise the corner of his mouth and continued.

"But this kind of thing is secondary... Arima, let's go to the teacher's office first."

"why?"

"Because Mr. Aizen is waiting for you."

……Um?

So when did you two become so close?
Before he could ask any questions, the other party had already stood up, leaving only a sharp back view for Arima Shizuka.

"Arima, make your choice. I sincerely hope that we can still walk side by side on the same path... After all, there are too few people who share the same ideals."

Leaving behind some confusing words, Tosen was about to leave Arima Shizuya's sight.

There is a slightly subtle feeling, but no matter what, it is indeed appropriate to go find Doraemon now.

After all, there were still things he wanted to confirm with him - for example, the various suspicious points related to Gui Yancheng that day.

Arima Jing also came to the familiar teacher's office as dusk fell.

And he saw Aizen Sosuke who was packing his belongings and putting them all into a cardboard box.

...What is he doing?
Just looking at it gives people a sense of absurdity, as if "wanting to run away after committing a crime".

When her eyes met Aizen's, Arima Shizuka saw the other person smile and put down the things at hand.

"You're finally here, Arima-kun."

The other party seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

Although I originally wanted to ask for clarification, I now feel that my momentum has been weakened.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you.

Arima Jing also choked for a moment, and finally could only speak awkwardly.

"Um...thank you for your help, Mr. Aizen."

"Hehe, it's just a small matter. After all, it was a conflict with a captain-level figure. If I tell you the truth, Shizuya-kun will probably be troubled."

This really helped a lot.

But this is not the same thing as what Arima Jing wants to say!
"Teacher Aizen, I..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The other party was the first to speak.

"Shizuya-kun, I will be temporarily leaving the Shinō Spiritual Academy starting tomorrow. Because I was promoted to vice-captain, I have been tied up in many affairs, and my current teaching position has been adjusted to a part-time job."

"...???"

My brain suddenly couldn't keep up with the other person's thoughts.

Uh, tidy it up a little bit.

After all, he has been promoted, so there is nothing wrong in congratulating him at this time.

"Uh... congratulations, Mr. Aizen?"

"Haha, thanks."

Aizen smiled calmly, turned his eyes to the side, and whispered at this moment.

"I will only return to the academy once a month, and the job of instructor will be taken over by someone else. So strictly speaking, Shizuya-kun no longer needs to call me teacher."

Huh? !

So you graduated earlier than me, right?

Before she could finish her complaints, Arima Shizuka saw Aizen raise his head and smile a rather strange smile.

"Don't feel sorry, separation is just for a more suitable encounter."

"So before I leave, I also want to explain something to Shizuya-kun."

"First of all... yes, it should be an apology."

"Although encountering Gui Yancheng was unexpected, it was ultimately due to my part."

"From Shizuya-kun's perspective, it would probably be quite unpleasant. After all, being deceived is definitely not a pleasant feeling... But no matter what, please listen to me first."

Adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Aizen spoke in a normal tone.

"Shizuya-kun, you are the most improved Shinigami I have ever seen. Your existence has given me other ideas about many established things..."

"It's really amazing. In time, you will surely grow into a pillar supporting Soul Society."

"So I sincerely invite you..."

Aizen Sosuke.

He smiled and extended his right hand towards Arima Shizuya.

"Arima Shizuya, are you willing to come with us?"
