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

Chapter 43: Employee No. 043 of Indigo Co., Ltd.

Prisoner?

This title is used to refer to the living beings under the rule of the Spirit King.

Now, just through this description, we can already understand more or less Aizen's views and thoughts on these things.

And in the subsequent explanation, Arima Shizuka also fully understood what the other party was thinking.

Aizen fully explained his understanding of the Soul King and a series of related opinions.

Like the man a hundred years later, he was on an expedition in pursuit of freedom from beginning to end.

Can't stand anything tangible being above me.

I cannot accept living in this world in a muddle.

Strive to change the environment and break free from the shackles. This seems to be what Aizen wants to do now?
This result was not at all surprising, and Arima Shizuka's expression didn't even change.

After all, the image of Aizen in the original storyline is too vivid, and now the two sides are merely overlapping, there is nothing surprising at all.

"Actually, according to the original plan, I still want to continue observing Shizuya-kun for a while."

"After all, I understand the disadvantages of forcing things to grow. Even if it is a positive way of accelerating growth, we should not be too impatient."

Prison Master, don’t you understand this very well?

"But unfortunately, I don't have much time left."

Aizen pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.

"Since I've been promoted to vice-captain, the time I can see Shizuya-kun will also be reduced in the future."

“Only close communication can convey each other’s feelings. Although distance can produce a hazy beauty, it is ultimately not a down-to-earth thing.”

"It is indeed a pity that I cannot witness your growth with my own eyes, but at the same time, I have also determined one thing that is worth being happy about."

So what do you understand?

Aizen's eyes were quite deep. He looked at Arima Shizuya and spoke as if in a dream.

"Shizuya-kun, what does learning mean to you?"

"...???"

What a confusing question.

Although there was an inexplicable sense of weirdness, considering the atmosphere, Arima Shizuka still thought about it carefully.

Means progress?

But before he could say anything, Aizen spoke on his own.

"No matter what the answer is, it won't be learning itself. Because this is the most meaningless behavior..."

"Shizuya-kun, actually, you and I are the same kind of people. We are just monsters with human appearance."

“Things that are subtle, profound, and difficult to understand in the eyes of others. We only need to spend a little bit of energy to understand the essence and master them.”

"Yes, the world will call us geniuses. But ask yourself, does this title really have any meaning?"

after all.

"We didn't become like this by our own will."

This statement is a little bit obscure and difficult to understand.

But Arima Shizuya quickly understood the other party's intention.

In just one month, his classmates, who were originally on equal terms with him, had already shown respect towards him.

Even because of Omaeda, the teachers who used to look down on him became much more friendly.

If these things are still relatively superficial and not worthy of being used as examples.

The sense of strangeness that I felt from Ise Nanao today completely confirmed the correctness of what Aizen said.

I just did what I could and should do.

Others will keep their distance from you and show a vague sense of alienation.

correct.

This was not Arima Shizuya's original intention.

There's no need to be so cautious. We can just communicate normally like before...

I feel a little sad and upset.

But at the same time, there is more of a kind of confusion that is close to regret.

"Looking at Shizuya-kun's expression, you should be able to understand the meaning of what I said."

Genius is destined to be lonely.

Because no matter how hard the ant tries, it cannot reach the height of the elephant.

so.

"It is indeed quite sociable for the elephant to understand the thoughts of the ants. But on the other hand...is this fair to the elephant?"

The thoughts that once lingered in Arima Shizuka's mind resurfaced, and at this moment, it also made the person concerned feel a lot of emotions. It can only be said that now standing in the same perspective, he can more or less understand Aizen's thoughts.

Be able to resonate.

It seemed that just realizing this was enough to make Aizen's tone lighten by three points.

He looked at Arima Shizuya's profile and smiled with relief.

"And there's more to it than that. Shizuya-kun should know this. The nobles hold the power of speech in Soul Society, and they also enjoy corresponding privileges."

"I don't want to sound rude, but this parasitic organism has become incredibly bloated. If possible..."

"I hope to establish a completely new order with Shizuya-kun and like-minded people."

Only this seemingly kind but sinister fellow could make the words of rebellion sound so righteous.

Arima Shizuka also let out a breath slowly.

In order to avoid being led by the nose, even though I know that what I say may be a little "naive".

But now I can only try to refute it.

"But there are some kind people among the nobles, right?"

Aizen laughed, unfazed.

"It's not surprising to have such thoughts, but Shizuya-kun, please give me a simple example."

“Just like we all need to eat meat.”

"But most people don't need to participate in the slaughter process. Because of this, in the eyes of some animals, people like us will look quite kind, right?"

The same is true for the nobility.

goo...

What a powerful rebuttal.

Not only in terms of skills and means, but even in terms of words he is no match for Aizen.

"Shizuya-kun, as I said before, we are all prisoners bound by chains."

"We will think about resisting and struggling, striving to win our own piece of sky."

"But some people won't be like this... They will grow up numb and think that anyone without chains is a beast, and they are proud to wear chains."

"Even when facing their former companions, these numb people will bite extra hard."

"But there are still quite a few of these people. They are proud to defend the old order and regard it as their lifelong duty and burden."

"This is such a sad fact... wouldn't you feel the same way, Shizuya-kun?"

Aizen slowly stood up, walked around to Arima Shizuya, and said with a chuckle.

"That's why we need to unite together so that we can fight against all injustice. Lend me your strength, Shizuya-kun."

That's it.

Aizen remained silent, waiting for the boy's response.

Then how should I answer?

There is simply no other choice - by revealing the Hogyoku and seeking recognition, Aizen has already shown enough sincerity.

But before giving the answer, Arima Shizuka raised her hand and scratched the corner of her mouth, revealing a rather embarrassed expression.

"Are you sure I will agree, Mr. Aizen?"

Otherwise, why would you say so much?

The person in question pondered for a moment and then revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Who knows, maybe I just simply want to talk more with Shizuya-kun."

Well, there's nothing more to know.

Arima Shizuya took a deep breath and slowly stood up at this moment.

Employee No. 002 of Indigo Dye Co., Ltd. will officially take up his post starting today.

So how should I show my loyalty?

Uh……

Or would it appear more dignified to just kneel down?
Arima Shizuka was thinking about it and was about to bend her knees, but Aizen had already stretched out his right hand.

"Jingye-kun, there's no need to be so polite between you and me. Just a handshake will do."

Can it be that simple?
The young man stretched out his right hand and held it tightly with the other person's.

The smile on Aizen's face was like a mark of ink dropped into clear water, and it suddenly became dizzy... He seemed quite happy to see the other person.

Then.

The transparent lenses flickered, and an unknown light was floating and creeping in them, revealing an indescribable unique aura.

"Welcome to join us, Shizuya-kun."
