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

Chapter 71: Shiny exterior, dank interior
His face was covered with bruises from being beaten.

Arima Shizuka also limped back to the dormitory.

He sat down on the chair groaning, and began to apply medicine on himself while looking in the mirror - the angry Tohru Yuune should not be underestimated, his fighting skills were so high that no one could resist him!

Thanks to the previous acquaintance with the Omaeda family, Arima Shizuya's bedroom was also changed to the most high-end single room.

This environment will not be disturbed by others.

It was also because of this that Arima Shizuka could open the envelope in front of her as if no one was around.

'From Arima Shizuya himself.'

"Long time no see, Jingye-kun. It's the coldest time of winter with the moon and no sun. '

"I don't need to ask you to change your food and clothes. I think Shizuya-kun should understand."

'It has been a month since we last contacted each other. I wonder if your skills have improved? I hope you will not give up on your practice.'

'Be self-disciplined and cautious, keep your heart clear and your nature clear.'

"The reason we are contacting each other via letter this time is because of Shizuya-kun's subsequent internship. When winter is over and spring arrives, Shizuya-kun will have his next squad internship, right?"

"If possible, I hope Shizuya-kun can choose the 8th Division for training."

"Captain Kyoraku Shunsui is a person who is very worth learning from. If you spend some time with him, I'm sure Shizuya-kun will be able to grow."

"And if conditions permit, please don't give up the opportunity to contact Ukitake Jushiro and Captain Yamamoto."

"We will discuss the details at our next meeting. Of course, if you have other ideas, please feel free to give them your own."

"After all, I am only giving Shizuya-kun some suitable suggestions."

"So with that in mind, I have drawn up the following list... and attached it to the back of a piece of letter paper for Shizuya-kun to refer to."

'Paper and pen are too thin to express my feelings. Although I have many emotions, I can't express even one ten-thousandth of what is in my heart.'

'Take care, Shizue-kun.'

"Aizen Sosuke, above."

I can only say that he is worthy of being a prison master.

The content of this letter is so rigorous that it can be said that there is no room for criticism.

Compare it horizontally with what you have written.

Alas... I can only say that we can’t delve into it too deeply. Our own cultural papermaking can indeed not be compared with the old popular characters.

After all, the feudal social background of the Grim Reaper values ​​reading.

This kind of thing is a process of accumulation. If you want to try it out without any knowledge, you will be the one who will be moved and ashamed in the end.

But then again.

"The next destination is Squad 8, right?"

It's a little unexpected, but also reasonable.

After all, if he thinks from Arima Shizuya's perspective, he can roughly understand Aizen's arrangements for him.

Since ability is the control and analysis of information, it is necessary to get in touch with more other talents - relying on the accumulation over time, so as to achieve the effect of quantitative change to achieve qualitative change.

Literally.

A century of planning.

Arima Shizuya pursed his lips slightly and couldn't help but sigh at this moment - after all, the person involved had never thought that he would have the opportunity to participate in such a meticulous plan.

It's really touching.

So, if we think deeply along this line of thought.

Arima Shizuya was able to quickly find a few relatively "suitable" targets.

Among the current Gotei 13, there are those who deserve the Warden's attention and whom he believes need some attention.

I'm afraid there are only these few.

Turning over the letter in his hand, sure enough, the names on it were almost all what the person concerned had expected.

'Captain of the First Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.'

"Captain of the Second Division, Yoruichi Shihouin."

"Captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu."

"Captain of the Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyoraku."

"Captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke."

"Captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro."

Six people are on the list, and their order of arrangement is in no particular order. They are all persons who need to be observed closely.

Should we say that the prison warden has a very good vision?

Basically, those chosen are the captain-level characters who shined in the original works. They are divided according to their strength, and the lowest level among them belongs to the sequence of "senior captains".

"Are you treating these people as imaginary enemies and letting me take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with them as much as possible?"

I can't think of any other reason.

And in it.

An internship opportunity in the First Squadron is very rare, and in the Spiritual Arts Academy one has to draw lots and queue up.

In comparison, the Eighth Division is a more compromising option.

"Because I still have a teacher-student relationship with old man Yamamoto."

If I could stay in the Eighth Division for some time, perhaps I would have the opportunity to meet Yamamoto and Ukitake Jushiro.

In addition, the Eighth Division is also famous as an intelligence team. While interning there, Arima Shizuka can also obtain some intelligence content.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

As for the next destination, the parties involved no longer have any opinions.

only……

The thought of having to fight these people head-on in the future makes me feel uncomfortable.

Arima Shizuya's head began to sweat slightly.

An old man who plays with fire with great strength and a sinister uncle who looks decadent but is actually strong.

A murderer with a face like Buddha, a research pioneer with a kind attitude...

Quack! Is there really any chance of winning against this kind of person? !
I beat up old man Yamamoto? Really?
Guaranteed death, prison warden!
But after the emotion...

Arima Shizuya's expression gradually relaxed. After all, jokes were jokes, and things had come to this point.

He didn't think he had no chance of winning. After all, there was still a hundred years left, and Arima Jing could slow down and adjust his condition bit by bit.

No need to worry, and no need to be afraid.

Time is Arima Shizuya's partner.

The young man stared at the letter in his hand in a daze. He pondered for a moment and then couldn't help but chuckle.

So, let's leave it at that for now.

A hundred years later.

Bye now.

The spiritual pressure in both hands began to surge.

Imitating Aizen's previous behavior, Arima Shizuka also burned all the letter papers in his palm, turning them into ashes.

The next day.

The high-spirited Arima Shizuka also carried a lot of bags and a letter of recommendation and hurried to the door of the 8th Squad's barracks.

After verification by the soldier guarding the gate that everything was correct, the other party led Arima Shizuka into the team house.

Along the way, you can see many sealed rooms and various prohibited rooms.

The number is not small... Walking along a corridor, there are at least half of them.

The soldier explained enthusiastically.

"Because we are a specialized intelligence organization, we are quite sensitive to these things... Please do not move around without permission."

So that's how it is. This aspect is not difficult to understand.

only……

"Is there so much information that needs to be hidden?"

The soldier pondered for a moment, scratched the corner of his mouth in distress...it seemed that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Of course, young man. Information is a lifeline in another sense."

"Things that can be used need to be carefully stored to ensure that they are not missed or leaked."

"Things that cannot be used must be destroyed in a timely manner, leaving no trace and no evidence behind."

"This is the style of our Eighth Division."

……

Ok?
When did someone appear behind you?

Turning around, Arima Jing also saw a middle-aged man with a slightly flamboyant appearance standing behind her.

Her brown, slightly curly medium-length hair was tied into a ponytail with two women's fancy hairpins in it, making her look weird and lazy.

He wears a pink haori jacket embroidered with floral patterns, a straw raincoat on his head, and has a slight beard on his chin.

Right now he has a silly smile on his face.

"Yo, I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

Seeing the visitor extending his right hand towards him, before he could respond, the other party spoke again.

"I am the current captain of Division 8, Kyoraku Shunsui."

It’s me.

This kind of lazy and exaggerated style cannot be found anywhere else in the entire Soul Society.

Although the situation was somewhat different from what was expected, it did not prevent Arima Shizuka from making a specific response.

Proper etiquette is still necessary.

Tending her body a little and taking a half step back, Arima Shizuka was about to introduce herself.

The other party walked up to him and patted his shoulder intimately.

"Ah, forget about the polite words, forget about it~ Arima Shizuya, I've heard about you a long time ago, and in order to meet you today, I couldn't even attend the closing ceremony of Sanjo."

She could feel that the other party had no ill intentions. At the same time, Arima Shizuka was also confused by what the other party said.

So who is San Tiao?
The soldier on the side took a half step back with a serious face, came to Arima Shizuya and whispered.

"A popular geisha who is preparing to retire because she is getting married."

"Oh, you're quite capable, Miki. I'm impressed by you."

"It's my job! It's nothing to worry about!"

No no no...

No matter what, this shouldn't be the job of the 8th Division, which is in charge of intelligence, right?
Watching Kyoraku Shunsui happily communicating with his soldiers.

Arima Shizuka also suddenly thought of it.

It is true that what goes up must go down...

Ignoring this brief and helpless farce, Kyoraku Shunsui personally led Arima Shizuya through the corridor and made several turns.

"Speaking of which, this is Arima-kun's first time here, right? How do you feel about the atmosphere of the Eighth Division?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's attitude was very friendly, and he seemed to be just chatting casually with a good friend.

Arima Jing also thought for a moment and then opened his mouth to reply.

"It's a little... mysterious."

After all, there are things everywhere that you can't look at, enter, or touch.

Kyoraku Shunsui clasped his hands in front of him and gave a subtle smile when he heard the words.

"Ha, mysterious? That's an interesting angle to talk about."

"But it's not surprising to hear such remarks. The history of Seireitei... no, Soul Society itself is long enough."

“How many things are there that we can and cannot know?”

"It's like a drama that only adults love, the glamorous stage scenery is floating on the surface."

"The one sunk inside is the damp and rotten core."

Then.

Kyoraku Shunsui did not stop. He stared into the distance and said with a smile.

"Is there something hidden beneath Arima-kun's glamorous surface?"
