Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Harry still didn't look away; he simply said, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Vice Captain Matsumoto."

This happens frequently because he focuses most of his energy on the other side, making him very inefficient at handling team affairs here.

As a result, Matsumoto Rangiku handled the vast majority of the squad's internal affairs, which led her to constantly complain about it in private gatherings.

She truly regretted bringing Harry to Central Spiritual Academy; Harry's current role as captain is far more demanding than when he was captain Shimura Isshin.

Hearing Harry's usual perfunctory words, Matsumoto Rangiku's forehead veins bulged, vaguely forming a grid.

However, at that moment Harry paused, then his eyes seemed to brighten considerably as he stared at Matsumoto Rangiku and asked curiously:
"Vice-Captain Matsumoto, I remember something happened to Captain Kuchiki's sister, Lucia Kuchiki?"

Matsumoto Rangiku was taken aback. He didn't want to pay attention to Harry or his irresponsible captain, but he was also quite curious about Kuchiki Rukia.

Matsumoto Rangiku pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"It seems that Rukia was discovered to have passed on her Shinigami powers to outsiders, and the Central 46 believes that she violated the strict rules."

Therefore, the Central 46 issued an arrest warrant and dispatched Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai to bring her back to Soul Society for execution. Rukia will likely be captured soon.

Harry nodded thoughtfully, "I see. Then I have no further questions. You can leave now."

Unexpectedly, Harry turned on her and kicked her out as soon as she was no longer of any use, which made Matsumoto Rangiku even angrier.

However, she had just caused a scene in the captain's office a while ago, and after Harry easily stopped her, she was shocked to discover that her captain had unknowingly become so terrifying as to be unfathomable.

She had never felt anything like this before, not even from any of the other captains.

This made Matsumoto Rangiku marvel at Harry's terrifying talent, proving that her judgment was indeed terrible.

When she first met Harry and his two friends, she thought Toshiro Hitsugaya would be the most promising of the three, but time has proven that Harry is the real one.

She thought Harry would be a hardworking captain who could help her with the team's tasks and let her get some rest, but Harry was no Harry either; he was definitely the laziest captain in the history of the Gotei 13.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Rangiku stomped her foot heavily, walked out of the captain's office, and slammed the door shut behind her.

Harry shook his head. He also felt a little guilty towards Matsumoto Rangiku, since it was indeed not good to let her take charge of a team's affairs all by herself.

However, he is unlikely to work; he has never been able to work since stepping down as the Supreme Master of Kama Tai Chi.

So let's just suffer a little longer, Matsumoto Rangiku. After another year or two of suffering, we won't have to suffer anymore.

By then, he should have already devoured the world of Death.

Time flies, and several days pass quickly.

The warm yellow light of the izakaya enveloped the rich aroma of sake, and the crisp sound of wooden sake glasses clinking together rang out continuously.

Harry, along with Matsumoto Rangiku, Hinamori Momo, and Hitsugaya, went to an izakaya for drinks as usual. Suddenly, a Shinigami (death god) sent a message to Harry and Matsumoto Rangiku via a communication pill.

The specific details are as follows: Rukia Kuchiki, who was in the same year as them, was captured and brought back by Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai.

The Central 46 decided to execute Rukia Kuchiki.

Her specific crime was that Rukia Kuchiki was sentenced to the Double Extermination punishment for "unauthorized transfer of the power of the Shinigami to humans".

Everyone present was quite shocked when they heard the news.

Hinamori Momo covered her mouth in disbelief, and asked in confusion:
"How could this be? Why was Rukia sentenced to death? Her crimes clearly didn't warrant such a severe punishment."

The Double Punishment is the highest level of execution for Shinigami (death gods) who commit serious crimes, and its cruelty and deterrent power are well-known among the Gotei 13.

Those usually sentenced to the Double Punishment are serious criminals who have either killed a captain or a high-ranking noble, or committed acts that pose a significant threat to the Soul Society.

But Rukia only transferred the power of the Shinigami to a mortal, and the punishment would at most be imprisonment for a period of time. How could it be so serious?

Harry frowned slightly. He also sensed something was wrong, feeling that the Central 46's sentence against Rukia Kuchiki was too severe and too hasty.

Matsumoto Rangiku placed her sake glass on the table, shook her head, and said:
"Discussing it like this now isn't a solution. The team leaders' meeting is tomorrow, so we can ask the commander-in-chief then."

Harry didn't have high hopes for this. "Given the Captain-Commander's personality, he probably won't tell us anything useful. He'll just tell us to obey the orders of Central 46."

But never mind, let's go take a look anyway, after all, these days won't last much longer."

Matsumoto Rangiku and the other two were a little confused by Harry's words. What did he mean by saying that such days wouldn't last long?

However, they didn't think much of it and returned to their respective homes to await the captains' meeting the next day.

………………

The morning mist had not completely dissipated, and the stone path of Seireitei was slightly damp and cool. Cherry blossoms on both sides were falling in profusion, and petals landed on Harry's shrine maiden outfit, which were quickly brushed away by the faint spiritual pressure around him.

Matsumoto Rangiku followed beside him, holding a folded agenda for the captain's meeting in her hand, occasionally glancing up at the green-eyed captain in front of her.

Harry, who usually seemed a bit lazy and would sometimes drift off during meetings, walked with unusually steady steps today, and even the way he twirled the knife between his fingers was a little faster.

"Captain, you seem... unusually clear-headed today?" Rangiku couldn't help but ask, her chestnut curls swaying gently with her movements. "After coming back from the izakaya yesterday, I thought you'd be listless and lethargic during the meeting again today."

Harry's lips curled into a smile, and he was about to reply when a gentle laugh suddenly came from ahead.

"Captain Harry seems to be getting more and more energetic." Aizen Sousuke appeared from around the corner, the hem of his white haori sweeping across the stone path. He wore his usual faint smile, and his eyes behind his glasses were as calm as a deep pool. "You've seemed much more energetic since I last saw you. Could it be that your amnesia has subsided?"

Gin Ichimaru, standing beside him, also stopped. His short silver hair gleamed coldly in the morning light, a faint smile playing on his lips. His fingers unconsciously caressed the hilt of his Zanpakuto, his gaze shifting between Harry and Rangiku without uttering a word.

Harry's Soul Disorder is well-known throughout the Soul Society.

Everyone knows that although this incredibly talented young captain is extremely strong and unfathomable, he is always in a bad mental state and often spaces out, even in front of the Captain-Commander.

The captain would reprimand him a few times at first, but he gradually got used to it.

Of course, this is also related to Harry's great strength and the fact that he handled the team affairs very well.

Although the team's affairs were all thanks to Vice-Captain Matsumoto, the Captain-Commander, as the leader, didn't think that way. He only cared about the results, not the process. As long as the Gotei 13 operated normally and Harry's strength met the requirements, he wouldn't ignore Harry's laziness; on the contrary, he would be lenient towards him.

After all, Harry's strength was simply too great. A Level 1 spiritual pressure user at only around sixty years old was unprecedented in history; Harry was the first.

As for why everyone knows Harry is a first-class spiritual pressure user? That's naturally related to the Eleventh Division Captain and Kenpachi.

Once, when Harry was distracted, he happened to run into Captain Kenpachi Zaraki.

Upon seeing Harry, this young genius, Kenpachi Zaraki couldn't help but provoke him and even took the initiative to attack, trying to force Harry to fight him.

At first, no one had high hopes for Harry because he was no match for Kenpachi Zaraki. It wasn't until Harry easily slashed Kenpachi Zaraki and seriously injured him that all the captains who arrived realized that Harry had already reached the first-class spiritual pressure level.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Harry, with his first-class spiritual pressure, is among the strongest of all the captains.

From that moment on, all the captains looked at Harry differently than before; they looked at him as if he were the next Captain-Commander.

Back in the present, Harry calmly responded to Aizen:
"They've probably found something worth taking seriously. We can't keep pushing all the tasks onto the vice-captain, right, Rangiku?"

Matsumoto Rangiku scoffed but didn't respond.

Aizen nodded slightly, his glasses reflecting the morning light, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

“That’s true,” he said, adjusting his glasses with a gentle tone. “The Tenth Division has many affairs to attend to, so it’s good that Captain Harry can adjust his state.”

He paused, then changed the subject slightly, "By the way, Captain Harry, you heard about the news from the izakaya yesterday, right? About Rukia Kuchiki..."

“I’ve heard about it,” Harry interrupted him, his voice no longer light. “The verdict in Central 46 was a bit too hasty.”

After remaining silent for a long time, Gin Ichimaru finally spoke, his voice carrying a deliberate hint of flippancy:

"Oh? Captain Harry thinks there's a problem with the verdict? After all, it's 'unauthorized transfer of the power of death,' which is indeed a serious crime according to the law."

He tilted his head, his silver hair falling down and obscuring the light in his eyes. "Or is it that Captain Harry and that Miss Rottenwood have a past relationship?"

For some reason, Gin Ichimaru always had a bad attitude towards Harry, even though Harry hadn't provoked him much.

Harry glanced discreetly at Matsumoto Rangiku beside him. Although he didn't focus most of his attention on the world of Death and only maintained basic thinking, he could still sense through his keen instincts that this was related to his dear vice-captain.

Harry didn't answer, but Aizen, usually a nice guy, frowned. "Silver!"

There was no reproach in his tone, but it made Gin Ichimaru stop smiling and obediently shut his mouth.

Aizen turned to Harry, his expression still gentle:
"Everyone has a different understanding of the law, but the judgment of the Central 46 has its own reasons."

Captain Harry, you should focus on the captains' meeting first. The Captain-Commander should be waiting.

Harry looked at Aizen, a hint of doubt flashing in his green eyes. He hadn't noticed before because his attention wasn't on the Bleach world, but now, observing Aizen, he felt something was off. It was as if this usually gentle Fifth Division Captain wasn't as simple as he seemed.

However, he didn't think much of it; any problem could be solved after he devoured the world of death.

Harry simply nodded. "Let's go."

At the captains' meeting, all the captains were surprised by Harry's performance today. Instead of his usual laziness and distraction, he was full of energy.

This unusual performance made some captains wonder if Captain Harry's spiritual pressure had increased, which was why he was able to maintain his energy.

All speculation ceased when the Captain-Commander arrived. The group first discussed the affairs of each squad, and then shifted the topic to the case of Rukia Kuchiki.

As the Captain-Commander's disciple, Kyoraku Shunsui spoke with the Captain-Commander far more casually than the other captains, stating directly:
"Captain-Commander, there's something fishy about Rukia's punishment. The Double Punishment is usually used to execute captain-level Shinigami with heinous crimes, so using it on Rukia seems like an inappropriate punishment."

Moreover, the execution period was repeatedly shortened, from 30 days to 20 days, and then to 15 days. I felt all of this was very abnormal.

Captain Ukitake and Captain Aizen both nodded in agreement, emphasizing to Captain-Commander Yamamoto that Rukia Kuchiki's execution was unusual.

Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia's older brother, remained silent.

Perhaps it is precisely because he is Lucia Kuchiki's older brother that he cannot express his own thoughts.

After all, he needed to avoid suspicion, and his every move represented the attitude of the Kuchiki family.

Despite everyone's advice, Captain-Commander Yamamoto made no comment and simply said:
"Rules are rules. Rukia Kuchiki's unauthorized transfer of Shinigami powers to humans is a serious crime. The Gotei 13 should strictly obey and enforce the judgments of the Central 46 in order to maintain order in Soul Society."

He reprimanded the team leaders, including Kyoraku Shunsui, who had raised objections.

The captains' meeting concluded as Harry had anticipated.

Harry didn't place his hopes on Captain-Commander Yamamoto either, because given his personality, he would never make a decision that went against Central 46.

No matter what, Rukia Kuchiki is Harry's friend, and Harry will not allow her to be executed.

Just as Harry was pondering how to secretly rescue Rukia Kuchiki, an unexpected accident occurred.

………………

The paper door to the Tenth Division Captain's office was suddenly pushed open, and Matsumoto Rangiku's footsteps, unusually hurried, interrupted Harry's actions of looking through the division's training records.

She pressed one hand against the door frame and clutched a crumpled investigation report in the other. Her chestnut curly hair was slightly disheveled from running, and her usually smiling peach blossom eyes were now filled with urgency, her breathing even a little unsteady.

"Captain, emergency!" Rangiku's voice was a few decibels higher than usual. "We just received a joint report from the Third and Seventh Divisions: the Ryoka have invaded Seireitei!"

Harry: "???"

Harry's hand holding the pen paused, his green eyes lifting from the document, his previously nonchalant gaze instantly hardening:

"How many people have been affected by this calamity?" (End of Chapter)
