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

Chapter 47: Bloody Weakness

"Shikai."

"It is the first stage of the Zanpakutō's liberation. It is also the first step in reflecting the Shinigami's mind."

"Generally speaking, with our understanding of Shikai, we can more or less understand the other person's emotions."

"A person who is aggressive and aggressive is happy and has no cunning at all. The appearance of a Zanpakutō released in this way will also be quite aggressive, showing the owner's love of showing off."

"A person with a calm mind is reserved and silent, and is careful and cautious. A Zanpakutō that is released in this way will rarely change in appearance, which is a manifestation of closure and nature."

"Of course, there are disguises, exceptions, or extremely rare cases. But such things are rare, and there is no point in discussing them."

Aizen looked at Arima Shizuya in front of him with a smile, and the smile in his eyes had deepened three times without him noticing.

"And through observation, this is the simplest and most direct way."

"I can already sense it, Shizuya-kun."

"Your Zanpakutō is of the second type."

Doesn't it show its own uniqueness, but rather a tendency towards maturity and restraint?
Listening to Aizen's description, Arima Shizuka also lowered his head and began to look at his Zanpakuto.

The overall look is slender, with an inexplicable sense of transparency.

At the same time...the length has been significantly extended compared to when it was hit shallowly, and it seems to have become thinner and sharper.

Although it is not as thin as a cicada's wing, it is indeed a bit too thin as a weapon.

However, compared to all these, the most noticeable thing is the long silver-white chain extending from the handle.

This thing is made up of a series of tiny, tightly connected locks.

Looking closer, one can discern something extremely tiny and distorted engraved on it...

Like some kind of hieroglyphics.

It looks more like some incomprehensible symbols or meaningless patterns.

But no matter what, this level of refinement is indeed somewhat extraordinary... This long chain is wrapped around Arima Shizuya's wrist, like some kind of strange ornament.

Although he had unleashed his Zanpakutō before in places where no one could see, this was the first time he had let others observe him so closely.

Arima Jing also showed a rather awkward smile.

Master, I feel like my Zanpakutō has become a little too ostentatious.

Can this really be called 'simple'?

As if he understood what Arima Shizuya was thinking, Aizen said with a smile.

"Jingye Jun, restraint does not mean simplicity. Appropriate refinement and a little bit of extravagance are also manifestations of restraint and sense of proportion."

Oh, that's very professional...

Aizen raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. He rarely smiled and showed a thoughtful expression.

"But then again."

"I have seen many Zanpakutōs being released."

"But it's really rare to see someone like Shizuya-kun. It's like..."

correct.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand.

This appearance is just like some fragile object like glass.

“An image that emerges in order to be broken, shattered.”

Fragile, gorgeous, and filled with an unrealistic sense of fantasy.

Although it was the judgment made by the prison master, it seemed a little different to Arima Shizuya?
After all, Gongyi blocked Gui Yancheng's attack head-on. If he was really that weak, the sword should have broken directly.

After briefly describing his thoughts, Aizen frowned, which was rare, as if he was also thinking about the reason behind it.

"I see. It's a little complicated... but it's not a bad thing. Well, there's no problem in continuing like this for now."

Saying some incomprehensible words.

Aizen nodded slightly and said to Arima Shizuka.

"Having seen such an exquisite object, it would be inappropriate if I didn't show off my skills. But I'm sorry... Shizuya-kun, my Zanpakutō has some special abilities, so I can only explain them to you later by describing them."

Others don’t know what Aizen’s methods are, but Arima Shizuka knows it.

The most important thing about a hypnotic Zanpakutō is not its ability, but the "information gap" in the literal sense.

Relying on the effect of catching the enemy off guard and taking the initiative, this is Aizen's unique fighting method.

After all, it's a trump card, so it's normal not to want to expose it.

"Come on, Shizuya-kun. Just attack me. Let me see what you have now."

Now that things have come to this, there is naturally no way to continue being polite.

Holding the sword horizontally, he took a half step sideways, and while turning his body, Arima Shizuya's breathing began to inhale and exhale... until he made a complete starting gesture.

Reiatsu began to build up and roll back until it poured into the Zanpakutō in his hand.

The world of black and white has arrived again.

In this space that has lost all colors, there is an absolute time that belongs exclusively to Arima Shizuya.

The Möbius strip has become entangled.

A complex and sophisticated maze appeared at a crossroads... The four Arima Shizuya also began to move forward in their respective directions and began to explore frantically.

Countless blue shadows appeared in the air, but quickly collapsed and disappeared.

In just a moment, I saw a large number of "myself" retreating rapidly.

He was kicked away by Aizen and lost consciousness. His palm was placed on his temple and he began to feel dizzy...

Although it was not as exaggerated as to kill him, it was enough to make Arima Shizuka lose his ability to fight on the spot.

Is the prison warden getting serious too?
While thinking, Arima Jing soon "saw" the direction in which she could successfully break into the other person's arms and succeed.

right here.

The rubble of the stuck gears was crushed, and the gears of time meshed again, turning slowly.

In the colorful reality, Arima Shizuya stepped forward with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Swing the knife and chop horizontally.

Aizen's move to dodge was expected, and this should have been the best time to chase him, but Arima Shizuya curled up his body and made an evasive motion instead.

And in the next moment.

Aizen's left hand was hidden deep in his wide robe, and the electric light brewing on it began to emit violently!

The sixty-threeth step of breaking the path: thunder roar cannon.

The ghost who had given up chanting was not able to exert his full strength, but this light, like a bolt of lightning from the blue, was still terrifying.

Arima Shizuya's figure seemed to be swallowed up by it...

However, the next moment, the young man appeared, and he swung his sword at Aizen's back with an expressionless face.

"..."

Silent.

It seemed as if Aizen was unable to react and could only respond half a beat late.

The slightly heavy feel of the blade was felt, and as it passed through, the Death Hagi on Aizen's back was split in two, and the flesh inside was also torn.

Got hit.

But it did not prevent Aizen from making further responses.

As if unaffected by anything, he strode to the side, closing the distance in an instant.

There is no way to avoid this distance.

So when faced with the incoming blow, Arima Shizuka could only barely raise her left arm to block it.

bump!
It was not like a physical collision, Arima Shizuya's body was directly flung away.

——Everything that has happened so far has been as expected.

The fight between the two sides seemed complicated, but in fact it was only a flash of lightning.

Dong Xianyao, who was standing nearby, frowned. Obviously, even from the perspective of an outsider, he seemed to find it difficult to understand what was going on.

Because...it's really weird.

Aizen took a half step back.

He looked at Arima Shizuya, who was half-crouching on the ground, covering his left hand, and then stood up with a grin.

He stretched out his right hand and touched his back calmly.

Hands covered in blood.

A tingling sensation mixed with warmth and a smooth touch came from his back.

But it made Aizen smile very happily.

"I see, I see... Is it this type of ability? Very interesting, he is indeed my student. My judgment is correct."

But ah.

An inexplicable light flashed in Aizen's eyes.

"The weakness of this ability is actually quite obvious, Shizuya-kun."
