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

Chapter 61: Second Week
I haven't developed the true power of my Zanpakutō?
Just hearing these words, Arima Shizuya's expression became a little strange. He stared at Asada beside him, unable to speak for a long time.

If you think about the problem from other people's perspective, Aizen's remarks may seem a little difficult to understand.

But it’s different with Ma Jing around.

Abarai Renji and Ayase Gawa Yumichika from the original storyline.

These two heavyweights are typical representatives of those who failed to "reconcile" with their Zanpakutō, resulting in intentionally or unintentionally calling out its real name.

So according to what the prison warden said, I am the same kind of person as them?

If you think about it carefully, the current situation is indeed like this. Although Arima Shizuka has released her Zanpakutō, she has never seen the mind-image inside it.

I never thought that there would be a day when I would pronounce my name wrong...

Arima Shizuka also showed an embarrassed expression, and Aizen beside her continued to speak in a soothing manner.

"Don't feel sad, Shizuya-kun. Everyone's situation is different. Although hardships are difficult, they can also sharpen your mind and give you the opportunity to climb to the top."

It is not difficult to adjust one's mood, and the person concerned quickly accepted the current situation.

Then I started thinking about what to do next.

"Then Mr. Aizen, what should I do better?"

"That brings us back to the original topic, Shizuya-kun."

His tone was calm, his expression was calm. But underneath these disguises, what Aizen said was enough to make people ashamed.

"Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, I hope you can challenge Gui Yancheng again."

"Such a statement is not a random statement, but a conclusion drawn after careful consideration."

"Shizuya-kun, you probably don't realize it yourself, but you're a slow-moving person... the gradual approach doesn't work well for you."

"When necessary, I think you still need external pressure to make you take the initiative to change something."

Aizen was indeed very good at observing others.

At this moment, the true nature of Arima Shizuya was also clearly understood by the other party.

"Shizuya-kun probably doesn't like seeing blood."

"Although this idea has come to my mind before, I finally confirmed in the conversation just now that Shizuya-kun is indeed a person who doesn't like fighting."

"I don't mean to offend you. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this kind of personality. A gentle and strong individual has a unique charm in its own right."

It's just a shame.

"The survival of the fittest is also one of the rules of Soul Society. If you are not stronger than others, you will easily be swallowed up by the torrent that is invisible to the naked eye."

"We are the ones who are swimming against the current... Shizuya-kun."

"If you don't progress fast enough, you will be left behind."

Aizen's lips were slightly pursed, revealing only a gentle smile at this moment.

“Although the method is a bit crude, it is indeed an accurate and effective method. True inspiration can emerge between life and death.”

"Shizuya-kun, as I said before, what you need is completely different from others."

"After all, learning itself is meaningless...you lack the opportunity to transform these experiences into strengths."

"So for you, I think this is the best approach."

This guy said something frightening with a smiling face...

Using such a frivolous tone, asking herself to challenge a captain-level figure - the gap was so great that Arima Shizuka couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I fought the ghost Yancheng (second round), is this true or false?
"Of course, I know that this behavior must be a burden for Shizuya-kun. So Shizuya-kun can also refuse and continue to go to other teams for in-depth internships according to my previous arrangements."

But ah.

Aizen raised his left hand and gently placed it on Arima Shizuya's shoulder.

"From a teacher's perspective, I still hope that Shizuya-kun can take the initiative to make some changes."

"And I also think that through this duel, you should be able to find the true name of your Zanpakutō."

"Well, this is the only thing I should be sure of."

There was no choice but to force it, but the words that came out were enough to make people feel stressed.

In fact, Arima Shizuya was not incomprehensible about Aizen's behavior.

He was like this when he first entered school.

He used his spiritual pressure to force himself to improve, and then deliberately arranged a contact with the 11th Division to lead the two sides into a conflict...

Now he simply stopped pretending and pointed at Gui Yancheng and said to him - you, you, go up and slap him twice!

Arima Shizuka also lowered his head, staring at his waist, and remained silent for a while. "Aizen-sensei."

"I'm here, Shizuya-kun."

"If I fail in challenging Gui Yancheng..."

"Well, he will be killed. After all, the other party has no reason to hold back. He has also said something like 'I won't let you go' in public before."

"So do you think I have a chance of winning?"

"It's very small."

“But it’s not zero, right?”

"Yes, I think there is still a possibility of success."

Aizen adjusted his sitting posture, and the smile on his face became more subtle.

"After all, in my opinion, Shizuya-kun's Zanpakutō... has infinite possibilities."

That’s it for now.

What was Arima Shizuya's answer?

After thinking for a while, the young man finally lay on his back and let out a long sigh.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous. Previously it was an encounter on a narrow road, but now it was the result of my own choice...

So, do you want to keep going?

This is clearly a thorny road.

Arima Shizuya's hands couldn't help but clench slightly, and then finally loosened.

As Aizen said, he does not like blood or pain - he cannot understand the thoughts of battle maniacs, and he has no interest in some big principles and so-called struggles of consciousness.

But even though I don't like fighting, I understand that if I don't advance, I will retreat.

Now that I am standing next to Aizen, the road ahead will naturally be visibly bumpy.

These things do exist and are not something that will disappear if you look away.

The so-called talent also needs to be fulfilled to show its value.

Thinking of this, Arima Shizuka took a deep breath and slowly raised her head.

The expression on his face had become quite firm.

The answer already appears in my heart.

"Teacher Aizen, I..."

Five days later.

On a cold moonlit night, Gui Yancheng and his 11th Squadron members were drinking and having fun, and are now on their way back to the team.

Although the location is still within the Soul Society.

But because the store itself is old and has not been moved, it is now located in a remote place close to the edge of the area.

In other words.

It would be difficult to attract the patrol team if we take action here.

Kenpachi Kiyomizu stopped and stared silently at the figure standing in the distance, staring at him sideways.

Just after two breaths, he opened his mouth wide and revealed a hearty smile.

"Hey! I've been looking for you for a long time, brat!"

"Yes, me too."

Grudges need to be settled, the other party wants to cause trouble for me, and I need to find an opportunity to break through...

Arima Shizuya, who had tied up her long hair, let her right hand fall with an expressionless face.

The opponent is a captain-level figure.

There is no room for holding back, and you must give it your all.

A carefully chosen location, adjusted to perfection, and a fearless heart.

Arima Shizuka was also prepared for everything, and finally placed her right hand gently on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"Eat your own tail, Yugi."
