I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

You think my purity is too low? Well, I'll give you a high-purity one.

The thought process ended in an instant. Then, Mi Zhen grabbed Xu Lan's hand, turned around, and shouted mercilessly.

"Come out, I've figured out what to do."

"is it?"

Nizuki Shigure responded calmly, then stepped out from behind a sycamore tree.

Apart from the five external Bankai, all the life forms in the mental world are actually manifestations of a certain part of his qualities.

If Xu Bai represents his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and Liu Yue represents his slacking off, then Ni Yue Shi Yu represents the rational part of his heart.

It's actually quite simple to get someone out of their rebellious phase—just let them experience the harsh realities of society, whether physically or psychologically.

"give it to me?"

Before Mima could speak, Shigure asked this question.

"It's up to you." Mi Zhen nodded. "Give her a good talking to."

"I try my best."

Liu Yue sighed silently beside her, casting a sympathetic glance.

Meanwhile, Xu Lan was still glaring fiercely at Mi Zhen, completely unaware of the future that awaited him.

..........................................

After delegating the problem, Mima composed herself and began to continue the work she hadn't finished.

He sent someone to submit the list of candidates, then did a quick crash course on the details that a high-ranking official should pay attention to when participating in the recruitment of new employees (this was something Lisa used to do), and finally communicated with the selected subordinates. That completed the preparations.

Two days passed quickly.

While preparing for recruitment at Seireitei, Mima, disguised as Saki, once again visited Aizen's secret contact point.

The two sides held some friendly consultations, exchanged their opinions, and reached an agreement on how to handle certain matters. During the brief discussion, they gained a new understanding of the future route planning. Afterwards, they went their separate ways, took the revised and improved plans, and began to take action.

..........................................

Meanwhile, in the Eighth Division's barracks, Mima made himself look more dignified, and styled his hair in a rather stylish but troublesome way to make himself look less lazy and nonchalant before stepping out of his room and into the courtyard.

The team members who had been waiting there were all dressed up properly, completely losing their usual casualness. When Mi Zhen called roll, the answers he received were louder and louder.

"Great, that's spirited!" Mima clapped her hands. "Ready to go!"

The attitude of the participants shows that the recruitment of new members is still quite important, even though it is held every year. After all, a group always needs fresh blood. The seniors will grow old and retire, or die in battle. The number of soldiers in service will decrease every year. Without new members, no matter how strong the Gotei 13 is, it cannot last for so many years.

Back when she was studying at the academy, Mi Zhen was among the group of students with excellent grades.

He originally planned to join the Kido Clan based on his special skills, but he never expected to fall into Lisa's trap and be dragged into signing the induction list.

He later confirmed that the reason Lisa was so enthusiastic towards him was mainly because she had made a bet with Chunshui, betting that she could bring in a graduate who was among the top ten in academic performance within an hour.

However, this could be considered a two-way trip in a certain sense. Mima, who was about to fill out a form at the Kidoshu, was scolded by Lisa and suddenly realized that the Eighth Division was the holy land for slacking off, so he changed his mind on the spot.

...In the end, he did indeed slack off for more than a decade.

In general, all the squads take today's event very seriously. Although it's not like performing odd jobs or doing odd jobs like in a circus, it's quite common for them to seek out someone to give them earnest advice. However, this kind of treatment is only for highly talented contestants. Those with poor performance may even be eliminated directly in the written test or interview.

However, the First Division and the Eleventh Division are exceptions... The former directly recruits people from other divisions, while the latter generally does not recruit people from the Shinigami Academy, but instead recruits directly from bosses in Rukongai.

After briefly recalling the past, Mizhen put her hands on her hips and looked at the only weak point among the expedition members.

At only twelve years old, Qixu had never experienced such a scene before, and a hint of timidity inevitably appeared on her face. Her eyes darted around, as if she was planning to hide in some corner.

Mizhen walked up to her, cleared her throat, bent down and touched her head.

"Qixu, just relax." He smiled. "You'll experience many more situations like this in the future. Today, just follow me and coordinate things. There's no need to be too nervous."

"I understand..." Nana bit her lip nervously, seemingly wanting to say something discouraging, but she immediately realized her mistake and forced herself to raise her voice, "I will try my best!"

—However, her voice was still trembling a little.

It's already quite an achievement to have reached this level at this age. When Mima first came out to host an event with Lisa... oh, he was already a seasoned veteran back then, and he couldn't even muster the slightest bit of nervousness for such a small scene.

However, that time the scene was quite calm, and nothing unexpected happened from beginning to end, but today is different... He and Aizen prepared a huge surprise for everyone in the Gotei 13, which will probably scare quite a few people.

Nana... should be alright, right? Don't let her appearance fool you, she actually has a surprisingly strong mental fortitude.

After saying a few words of encouragement, Mima led his group toward the True Spiritual Arts Academy.

To get Nanao back on track, Mima simply carried her on his shoulder and flew over with her.

This scene feels strangely familiar...

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

The students are currently reciting their graduation vows in the college lobby.

Meanwhile, the members of the Gotei 13 were to go to the backyard square and take their seats, waiting for the students to finish their oaths before coming over for the usual recruitment process.

Looking around, I saw familiar faces everywhere.

The Second Division was led by Noriyuki Ōmaeda, accompanied by a group of members of the Covert Force and his son. Two large, identical-looking men sat in front, while a group of men in black provided atmosphere behind them. Their appearance was quite unique...

I heard that Soi Fon is currently training hard to master Bankai as soon as possible. The Shihouin family has arranged so many projects for her that she doesn't have a single spare moment. Naturally, Mima's promise cannot be fulfilled. It seems that we'll have to wait until things have completely calmed down.

The Third Division was naturally not very prominent... After Rojuro left, their situation was not optimistic. To this day, they have not completely quelled the internal chaos. This recruitment was attended by Iba Sente and Ichimaru Gin, but they were clearly not very enthusiastic.

The Fourth Division is usually invisible at times like this. They already have their own relatively independent medical staff training program, so they're just going through the motions here.

Meanwhile, the "new captain" of the Fifth Division was present in person, which was quite a show of respect for the Shinigami Academy.

But what Mima actually saw was a bald man whose face clearly showed signs of kidney deficiency...

The Sixth Division was a bit strange, as it was Byakuya who came forward. At this time, he was still a young and inexperienced man. Although he was quite strong, he lacked experience in handling affairs. You could see a faint hint of nervousness on his face. It was probably because Kuchiki Ginrin had sent him here specifically to gain experience.

The Seventh Division has a low profile and can be ignored. The Ninth Division is in a similar predicament to the Third Division.

The 10th Division, on the other hand, was quite solemn, sitting there personally—this showed much more sincerity than Aizen.

As for the 12th Division... they didn't even show up.

Don't skip even this kind of occasion!

The 13th Division, led by Kaien, arrived with great enthusiasm—which makes sense, given that their manpower losses are second only to the 11th Division, making them extremely reliant on fresh blood. They are considered a risky force among the Gotei 13, where new recruits either win and get promoted or are fed Hollows, making it a cruel situation in every sense.

After quickly setting up the venue, Mima moved Nanao to a chair and put her in charge for the time being. Then she left alone to greet her acquaintances.

Even though the First Division doesn't participate in such important occasions, they still send someone to check on things.

As is customary, the vice-captain, Chojiro Sasakibe, is in charge of this matter, and this year is no exception.

"Deputy Captain of the Sparrow Department."

Mima walked over to the main stage and greeted Chojiro Sasaki, who was standing there with his hands behind his back.

how to say……

Ever since seeing this guy successfully betray Yhwach's sixth brother in the historical recap, Mima has developed a certain respect for him.

What does it mean to play dumb to fool others? This is what it means to play dumb to fool others—don't be fooled by the fact that he ambushed Yhwach the moment he switched to his Blood Armor, but is it so easy to break through the Quincy King's spiritual pressure barrier?

When Yama thinks of the famous scene where Chojiro Sasaki is knocked down by Ichigo Kurosaki with a single punch, he gets a strange, grotesque association.

Could it be that he's acting on instinct and planning to lie down first to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?

Ugh... It shouldn't have come to this.

"Vice Captain Watanabe, good afternoon."

Chojiro nods to Yama: "Did you lead the Eighth Division here? I remember you participated in several recruitments when you were a seated officer, so there shouldn't be any difficulties for you, right?"

"Although I've participated nearly ten times before, this is the first time I've been in charge," Mima said with a wry smile. "To be honest, it's not that I feel pressured..."

During the typical professional pleasantries between the two, a loud bang suddenly came from the other side of the courtyard wall.

Suddenly, something smashed a large hole in the sturdy brick wall, and dust filled the air, drawing the attention of everyone present.

A tall figure slowly walked out from within.

"Yachiru, didn't you say you were going this way?"

Kenpachi Zaraki scratched his face, looking at the empty plaza with some confusion: "This... doesn't look like a barracks at all, does it?"

Everyone was silent.

Completely bewildered by this turn of events, Chojiro Suzaku paused for a moment, then bowed slightly to Mima: "Excuse me, I must take care of this..."

Mima: "..."

As he watched Chojiro's retreating figure, his expression turned less than optimistic.

Oh no... why did this number one reckless brute have to get lost here at this time of year...?

If he gets involved, the plan might fall through.

It wasn't that Mi Zhen was afraid of him, but rather that this guy's thought process was always mysterious and unpredictable.

No one can predict what he might do—after all, it's really hard for normal people to understand a reckless person, especially one who might suddenly become aggressive.

Chapter 188: The Ancestor Has Been Reinstated!

The purpose this time is to act, not to kill... If Kenpachi Zaraki gets excited and rushes at us with his sword, that would be troublesome.

Because of the need to expose the relationship to the public, the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" technique cannot be used. If any flaws are left, it will have a great impact on his and Aizen's future plans. Therefore, the theme and style of this performance is to play it real and not to get away with it.

This is troublesome... Given his position, it's not easy for him to go and let Kenpachi Zaraki go back to the Eleventh Division. If the other party insists on staying, he will really be forced to take it one step at a time.

So being a schemer or a villain is really tough...

Every unexpected event in the plan was a huge test of their mental abilities. If it weren't for the Shinigami's spiritual power guaranteeing their youth, he and Aizen probably would have both gone bald before the story even started.

Huh? Why am I starting to naturally think of myself as the villain?

It's the world's fault, it must be the world's fault!

Mima sighed and walked towards the Eighth Division's booth... no, their seats, as if nothing had happened.

Beside the wall where Kenpachi Zaraki had kicked a large hole, Chojiro Sasaki was still checking on the situation with the former.
