I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"Huh? You seem to prefer following Captain Zaraki rather than Captain Erin, Zaemon. Something's not right with you..."

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood Hisagi."

Iba Tetsuzaemon shook his head: "In our Eleventh Division, there is an unspoken rule that combat personnel following Captain Erin must, without a doubt, be among the top ten in the division in terms of their Shunpo skills."

"Because only team members with that level of speed can catch up with Captain Erin and clean up the battlefield."

"I'm sorry, although I am the fifth seat, my Shunpo is not ranked in the top ten within the eleventh division."

"He has absolutely no right to clean up the battlefield for Captain Erin."

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing what Iba Tetsuoemon said, Hisagi Shuhei was at a loss for words to comfort him.

As the vice-captain of the 7th Division, he was treated so poorly in the 11th Division that he didn't even have the right to fight behind the captain.

The Eleventh Division, are they really that strong?

"Hisagi, don't you believe me?"

Iba Tetsuzaemon patted Hisagi Shuhei on the shoulder and sighed, "Although I left the Eleventh Division, I still keep in touch with my former teammates."

"According to information I received from former team members, the fifth seat of the Eleventh Division has now completed his Bankai training."

"The Zanpakuto of the Sixth Seat is ridiculously overpowered..."

"In other words, even if I were to return to the Eleventh Division now, I would only be able to compete with others for the position of the seventh seat officer..."

"Woooooooo..."

Thinking that in just a few decades, his rank in the Eleventh Division had dropped by two places, Iba Tetsuoemon immediately hugged Hisagi Shuhei and burst into tears.

Looking at the shooting range of Tetsuo Emon, Hisagi Shuhei immediately felt a headache coming on.

On the one hand, he was shocked by the strength of the Eleventh Division members; on the other hand, it was the first time he had seen the "tough guy" Iba Tetsuzaemon cry like this, and he was somewhat at a loss.

"Alright, Zaemon, being sad won't solve anything."

"Didn't Captain Erin just tell us that?"

"There are still enemies lurking in the shadows within the Seireitei."

"So that we won't regret it when we face enemies in the future, let's start training now!"

"Strive to complete the training of Zanpakuto Bankai before that enemy surfaces."

"Well, let's go!"

So, the two drunken Iba Tetsuzaemon and Hisagi Shuhei stumbled and helped each other out of the izakaya to find a place to train.

The banquet ended with only Matsumoto Rangiku still basking in the joy that Ichimaru Gin hadn't forgotten her...

"What? How much did you say?"

When the izakaya closed, Matsumoto Rangiku saw the bill and was immediately sobered up.

"Damn it, those guys dared to sneak away, leaving me to pay the bill alone?"

Matsumoto Rangiku glanced at the izakaya owner who was staring intently at her, and then slumped onto the table.

Taking out a Hell Butterfly for communication, Matsumoto Rangiku uttered extremely shameful words in a very seductive voice.

"Captain Shiba, I'm being held at an izakaya. Could you please give me some money to ransom me?"

……

Although it was already very late, the haori worn by Erin and Kyoraku were practically the best pass for entering the Shinigami Academy.

The students of the Shinigami Academy are also aware of the haori worn by the captains of the 13th Division.

After all, almost every so often, Captain Aizen of the Fifth Division would come to the Shinigami Academy to teach the students, and even personally demonstrate how to unleash his Zanpakuto, giving everyone enough to look forward to what kind of abilities they could acquire in the future.

With Erin's sensory abilities, he easily sensed Rukia's location.

To Erin's surprise, Rukia was still awake and practicing Kido in the school's training grounds.

When Erin and Kyoraku Shunsui arrived at the training ground of the Shinigami Academy and saw the person practicing Kido, Kyoraku Shunsui knew that his mission would once again be in vain.

Because the person in the white academy uniform in the training field looked exactly like Kuchiki Byakuya's wife, Kuchiki Hisa.

"Who is this?"

"Rukia."

Erin naturally knew what Kyoraku Shunsui was asking.

"She is Hishin's younger sister, and they have been separated for twelve years."

Chapter 191 The Third Disciple

"oh?"

Kyoraku Shunsui was surprised, but then asked no further questions.

After all, with the power of the Kuchiki family, finding someone wouldn't be difficult.

But since they haven't gone to look for it for twelve years, the secret behind it must not be anything honorable.

Since it concerns the matriarch of the Kuchiki family, Kyoraku Shunsui is now somewhat regretting coming here with Erin.

Beside Rukia was a boy with strange eyebrows.

A prime example of a loser's rise to power in Bleach, Renji Abarai rose from a commoner in Rukongai to a captain-level character during the Thousand-Year Blood War, where he was significantly strengthened and defeated the Quincy Masculin, who had severely injured two captains. He then won the heart of the beautiful Renji Abarai.

Two teenagers, each wielding a wooden sword, fight using slashing techniques in the training ground.

Judging from the situation of the battle, Renji Abarai is stronger than Rukia.

This is quite normal.

After all, Renji Abarai is older than Rukia and is at least two heads taller than her.

Judging from their battle, Erin discovered that Renji Abarai relied more on "instinct" to fight, meaning that Renji Abarai was very talented in swordsmanship.

Rukia, on the other hand, is more rigid; her moves are all standard, the kind of moves she practices in the training ground.

From this perspective, Rukia doesn't seem to have much talent, at least in swordsmanship.

However, this was within Erin's expectations.

Erin remembers that when Rukia and the others in Bleach said they wanted to become Shinigami, his companions tried to gather spirit particles.

The other companions lacked spiritual pressure and were unable to condense a spirit particle sphere.

Renji Abarai condensed a spirit particle sphere the size of a fist, while Rukia condensed a spirit particle sphere the size of a volleyball.

Judging from his innate spiritual power level, Abarai Renji is at the seventeenth level.

Rukia is at least within the fifteenth rank.

Renji Abarai does indeed have some talent in swordsmanship, but Rukia's talent in Kido is in no way inferior to Renji Abarai's talent in swordsmanship.

When Rukia enters Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihime Inoue, she is able to use the 72nd Hado Twin Lotus Azure Fire Drop and the subsequent 61st Bakudo Six Staff Light Prison.

This is Rukia's true strength after regaining her powers; she is now comparable to Renji Abarai's Bankai, the Baboon King Zabimaru.

The reason she performed so poorly in the early stages of the story was simply because Byakuya Kuchiki protected her too well.

After being adopted by Byakuya Kuchiki as his younger sister, Rukia never experienced any battles again.

He trained until he could unleash his Zanpakuto before Byakuya Kuchiki assigned him to the more peaceful 13th Division.

The 13th Division is a purification unit. Its primary duty is to guard the human world, send souls that have attachment to the human world to the Soul Society, and purify Hollows that occasionally enter the human world through the Black Hole to hunt.

Therefore, generally speaking, the Hollows encountered by the members of the 13th Division are only small and medium-sized Hollows.

Given Rukia's ability to unleash the power of her Zanpakuto, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Unfortunately, while Rukia was stationed in the human world, she was severely injured by a Hollow arranged by Aizen Sousuke, and had no choice but to give her Shinigami powers to Kurosaki Ichigo in order to protect Kurosaki Ichigo's family.

Later, as Rukia gained more combat experience and fully unleashed her strength, she even single-handedly defeated the 90th Espada.

Even the weakest of the Espada is still a Gillian Arrancar, and Aaroniero Erurueri's strength is barely at the captain level.

Of course, what Aizen valued most about him, who was able to become the ninth "Espada" with such strength, was not his power, but his ability to perfectly absorb everything he devoured.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

In the training ground, the young Renji Abarai relentlessly pursued Rukia, eventually knocking the wooden sword from her hand and securing victory.

"Hahaha, Rukia, I won again this time."

"Yes, Renji, your strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Rukia would be lying if she said she wasn't frustrated after being defeated by Renji Abarai once again.

However, Rukia was still happy for Renji Abarai.

When they enrolled, Rukia was assigned to Class C in her first year because of her low talent in swordsmanship, while Renji Abarai was assigned to Class A.

You can tell the difference between the two classes just by looking at the letters.

Teachers tend to favor outstanding students and dedicate more effort to teaching them.

Class C is mostly comprised of people with little talent in swordsmanship, so the swordsmanship instructors won't waste much time on them.

Therefore, although Rukia's spiritual pressure level is higher than Renji Abarai's, Renji Abarai, whose swordsmanship is stronger, has gradually approached and surpassed Rukia in terms of strength, even before Rukia has an overwhelming advantage in spiritual pressure level.

"Ha ha……"

Receiving Rukia's praise, Renji Abarai was unusually embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Rukia, I'm only slightly ahead of you right now. With your talent and hard work, I'm sure you'll catch up soon."

"Not bad, I didn't realize that although you have a bit of a wolfish nature, you also have a pretty good eye."

"Who?"

Hearing the voice behind them, Renji Abarai and Rukia quickly turned around and saw Erin and Shunsui Kyoraku wearing captain's haori.

"The captain of the Gotei 13?"

Renji Abarai and Rukia had both heard Captain Aizen's lectures from the Fifth Division, and they had seen the captain's haori he wore.
