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

Chapter 44: Moonlit Night

"Eh? So Aizen-sensei has been transferred back to the 5th Division?"

"Yes, but I heard that there are regular calligraphy classes every month, so I still come to the academy occasionally."

Although that's what I said.

"But it would make people feel a little lonely, right?"

Kotetsu Yuyin bit the spoon and showed a very emotional expression.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Arima Shizuka, who was sitting in front of her and stuffing steak into her mouth, asked in confusion.

"Because Arima-kun, you and Aizen-sensei have a pretty close relationship, right?"

"I heard that you received a lot of care from your instructor. If he leaves like this..."

"Don't you feel a little regretful?"

Ah...if you say this.

If it was a previous relationship, then from the student's perspective it would be sad. After all, they had only been together for a month or so.

There are still many things I need to ask others, but Aizen Sosuke left so ruthlessly... Gah! It's really painful to think about it!
But the parties involved are different.

Arima Shizuka also swallowed the steak in her mouth and grinned.

"Absolutely not!"

Kotetsu Yuune narrowed his eyes.

"…I always feel like your smile is a bit disgusting."

"This is a symbol of health, a symbol of health!"

"Well, it's a good thing if you can still cheer up..."

"After all, people have to look forward. It's not a good thing to stay where you are."

After expressing her emotion for a while, Arima Jing changed the subject and spoke with a smile.

"Rather, Kotetsu-senpai, you have been interning in the 4th Division for a while, right? Have you decided what you want to do after graduation?"

Kotetsu Yuune put down the bowl of porridge, smiled and nodded.

"Well... after all, my other abilities are all average, so I don't stand a chance with the more popular squads 1, 6, and 8."

Arima Shizuya nodded thoughtfully.

Not only do the Gotei 13 have different names, but the positions within each team are also differentiated to take into account the differences in their work.

As the leading force, the First Division is responsible for assigning tasks and managing and commanding the remaining twelve divisions, so it is naturally the most popular.

The Sixth Division is led by the nobles, and the core of the entire team is to act to safeguard the interests of the nobles.

The Eighth Division is primarily responsible for information. Compared to other divisions, their work can be said to be mainly clerical, so naturally they are quite popular.

All I can say is that everyone has sharp eyes... At this stage, they can clearly tell which are the elite teams and which are the lazy ones.

"I was a little nervous at first, but after meeting Captain Unohana Retsu, I felt more at ease."

Kotetsu Yuyin fumbled with the empty bowl in his hand, and the smile on his face became a little shy.

"She is a very gentle and careful captain. If I could study and learn under her, I would not be dissatisfied."

So is this the so-called historical inertia, or is it simply because the two sides are more compatible?
This is somewhat unknown.

"Anyway, I will start working hard with the goal of entering the Fourth Division, so I have to review my lessons during this period to improve my Kaido skills!"

It's definitely not a bad thing to be full of fighting spirit.

but……

"There shouldn't be any hard and fast rules in the 4th Division's recruitment requirements, such as requiring students to be good at Huidao or something like that, right?"

Kotetsu Yuune replied with a serious expression.

"This is a problem of attitude, attitude! Arima-kun, people like you who are so careless are the ones with problems!"

I was actually taught a lesson. I feel really sad.

So your feelings for Unohana Retsu are greater than your feelings for me?

Woo, what a hateful elder sister!

Arima Shizuka simply sighed, and when she came to her senses, she nodded and said something encouraging. "If it was Kotetsu-senpai, he would definitely pass."

Rarely did he say anything discouraging, but Kotetsu Yuune nodded heavily, revealing an expression of 'giving it his all'.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Arima-kun!"

"Ha, you're welcome..."

Although I want to ask the other person out to play or something, to strengthen the emotional communication between each other.

But considering that Gui Yancheng might be waiting for him outside, Arima Jing was ultimately unable to say these words.

After all, bringing danger to those around you is itself a sign of immaturity.

So we still have to find a way to deal with this threat first?
Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, saying goodbye to Kotetsu Yuune.

Arima Shizuka also showed a somewhat subtle expression on her way back to the classroom.

Three days have passed since Aizen returned to the 5th Division - at first, he thought that the master would take him away from the Spiritual Arts Academy.

I didn't expect the other party's instruction to me was to wait.

"I still have some things to deal with here. Until then, please continue living your life as usual for a while."

What is Infernal Affairs...

You're not going to play the same trick on me for three years followed by another three years, are you?

"Good evening, Arima-kun."

All kinds of people, both known and unknown, were greeting me.

Arima Shizuya was not a person who put on airs, and would nod and respond a little. Now, looking at these various students, the person involved was also quite emotional.

We are no longer fellow travelers...

All I can say is that if you think about problems from different angles, you can indeed see completely different views.

Compared to the nervousness and thirst for knowledge I felt when I first arrived at the Shinō Spiritual Academy, what I now feel is only an indescribable feeling of uneasiness.

What the professor taught was too superficial, and Arima Shizuka couldn't gain any nutrition from it.

And if you want to continue to improve, you need to take the initiative to contact some "strong people"... then the problem comes.

In this spiritual arts academy where even Doraemon and Aizen are no longer here.

How should Arima Shizuka act to find resource support in this area?

Tsk, it really makes me feel overwhelmed just thinking about it...

I can only say that looking back, the improvements and resources gained over the past month are all the result of Aizen's special treatment for himself.

Now it’s really hard not to be a prison master.

Compared to the boring classes during the day, the only thing worth looking forward to now is the sparring in the evening.

Because of his own sword skills growth and his familiarity with Tosen Kaname, the two of them are no longer limited to a single form of competition.

Basically, as long as they don't kill each other, they will use all kinds of means to compete with each other...

It is equivalent to a daily in-class test, which is not very intense but very interesting.

Occasionally gaining 1 or 2 points of attribute value is a pleasant surprise.

As usual, Arima Shizuka came to the dojo and began waiting for Tosen Kaname.

But when the two sides met, Tosen said something that even Arima Shizuka was stunned.

"Come with me, Arima."

"Lord Aizen is waiting for you."

Arima Shizuka also reacted quickly.

The moon is full in the sky and the night is deep and quiet.

Away from the bright surface of light and heat lies the endless deep space of darkness and coldness.

Aizen would only do this at times like this...

start to act.
