He was more than 90 percent certain that the sudden appearance of this Hollow was orchestrated by Aizen.

In order for this "test" to continue, this area is now under Aizen's control.

It seems the people inside won't be able to escape, and the people outside won't be able to come in to help.

While he himself could certainly escape, it was nothing short of a pipe dream for Ryoko and Takuya to want to leave this area.

In the distance, Aizen, whose figure was hidden, wore a mysterious smile, and his brown eyes flashed with anticipation.

"Gin Ichimaru took down an ordinary Hollow in less than two minutes. So, how did you, Sho Shiranui, fare?"

At this moment, facing the Great Hollow, Shiranui Sho slowly drew her Zanpakuto from her waist.

"If you want to test them, at least send an Adjuchas. A mere Kyrian... one strike is enough!"

Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming spiritual pressure surged into the sky, spreading outwards from its center.

The surrounding air seemed to become viscous and stagnant in an instant.

Behind Shiranui Sho, Ryoko and Takuya, who were trying to escape, froze on the spot, feeling as if their bodies had suddenly plunged into the deep sea, making it difficult to even breathe.

In the distance, Aizen's smile froze almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, this was the first time he had shown shock since he had been secretly observing Shiranui Sou!

Aizen's smile gradually faded, and after a few seconds of silence, he declared firmly, "First-class Spiritual Might!!"

That's right.

The spiritual pressure that Shiranui Sho unleashed at this moment had already reached the standard of first-class spiritual power!

That's a top-tier level that only a select few can reach in the entire series of Death Note; it's the pinnacle of Death Note.

Aizen himself was also at the level of a first-class spiritual power, which is why he was able to make such a judgment with certainty.

"When I entered the Shinigami Academy, I was a third-class spirit master, and in less than a year I was promoted to first-class."

Aizen's expression turned thoughtful. "How is such a rate of improvement possible...?"

For the Shinigami of Soul Society, a year is actually a very short time.

In one year, he rose from third-level spiritual power to first-level spiritual power...

Even Aizen, whose talent seemed inconceivable to ordinary people, found such speed astonishing.

Aizen no longer paid attention to the battle that followed.

If even a first-class Shinigami couldn't handle a single Gillian, Soul Society would have been conquered by Hueco Mundo long ago.

His indifferent gaze swept over Shiranui Xiao, and then he left without looking back.

Shiranui Xiao activated Shunpo, her body turning into a blur and disappearing from the spot.

He didn't use the Shikai of his Zanpakuto, nor did he use Kido; it was just a simple vertical slash.

Swah——

A flash of light appeared, and a white line swiftly descended from the top of the Hollow's white bone mask, passing through the massive void, until it completely cleaved the Hollow in two.

Shiranui Sou lightly stepped onto the ground and landed, her Zanpakuto returning to its sheath like a swimming dragon.

Behind them, Ryoko and Takuya, their faces ashen, stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, which was beyond their comprehension.

The Great Hollow... was killed!?

He was killed by a first-year student from the True Spiritual Arts Academy with a single stab!?

At this moment, seemingly because Aizen had left and was no longer concealing the commotion in this area, the team leader finally frantically activated Shunpo and rushed over, his face ashen.

The immense spiritual pressure that appeared in his perception at that moment almost sent him to heaven on the spot.

After all, he was the teacher in charge of the team, and he had a certain safety responsibility on his shoulders.

Upon arriving at the scene, he also quickly sought help from Seireitei.

After all, even he wasn't absolutely certain he could defeat this Great Hollow before inflicting heavy casualties on the other students.

However, the next second, upon seeing the true state of the Great Void, his gesture of calling for help suddenly froze.

Under his gaze, the short-haired, dark purple-haired student was sheathing his Zanpakuto.

The colossal void, as large as a skyscraper, split in two before his eyes, turning into dust and dissipating.

The teacher in charge swallowed hard, unable to recover for a long time.

……

Soul Society, at the Gate of Transcendence.

The Soul Burial Internship has successfully concluded, and the instructors and students of the Shinigami Academy have returned to Soul Society through the interdimensional gate.

"Congratulations on receiving a perfect score in this Soul Burial Internship, Shiranui Xiao."

The teacher in charge handed an evaluation form to Shiranui Xiao with both hands and said solemnly.

"Does killing a Hollow grant extra points?"

Shiranui Sho took the assessment form and casually asked, "For example, do you add ten or twenty points on top of a perfect score?"

"Hug...sorry!"

The teacher in charge quickly said, "There's no precedent for this before. I might need to consult with the authorities about this."

"Uh……"

Shiranui Sho paused slightly, "I was just asking casually, it's okay if you don't have it."

"By the way, teacher, don't be so reserved."

"Yes!"

The teacher in charge immediately stood up straight and replied seriously.

Shiranui Sou: "..."

It seems that his killing of the Great Hollow with a single blow truly shocked these witnesses.

At this moment, as other witnesses relayed the news, Shiranui Akira noticed that more and more eyes were being cast at him.

So he said to the teacher in charge, "Then I'll go back to my dormitory to rest first. Goodbye."

Under countless awe-inspiring gazes, Shiranui Sou's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Among the crowd, Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes, and the fake smile on his lips looked more serious than usual.

Half an hour ago, he was still pleased with his achievement of killing an ordinary Hollow in two minutes.

But just after returning to Soul Society, he learned of the news from the surrounding discussions...

With a single strike, he killed a Great Void.

Is this thing a monster?!

Chapter 172 Yamamoto Accepts a Disciple! Hima's Feelings

Nearly a year later, Shiranui Sho was once again invited to the First Division's barracks.

"You've reached the first-class Spiritual Might level?"

An elderly man with white eyebrows and beard and a kind face looked him over and asked.

"Yes, Captain."

Shiranui Sou nodded slightly.

He unleashed a spiritual pressure of first-class spiritual power in the mortal realm, a commotion that could not possibly escape the notice of the Seireitei.

At the same time, there is no need to hide it.

"Um……"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni remained silent for a moment.

He already possessed a third-class spiritual power when he entered the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy, a talent that was unheard of.

In less than a year, he rose from the third-level spiritual power to the first-level spiritual power, which is even more unbelievable.

After a moment of contemplation, Yamamoto suddenly spoke:

"Draw your sword."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold glint flashed before Shiranui Sou's eyes.

Swah——

He swiftly drew his Zanpakuto from his waist with his right hand, the blade moving like a swimming dragon to meet the attack.

Knock—

The sound of the blades clashing echoed outwards in an instant.

Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed.

It goes without saying that this was a test of his learning at the Shinigami Academy by Captain Yamamoto after a long time.

Over the course of nearly a year, Shiranui Sho felt that she had spent a considerable amount of time on her slashing techniques.

Back then, the standard samurai sword he was equipped with in the dark unit was almost just for decoration on his back, and even his posture when holding the sword was full of mistakes.

Now, he has barely laid a foundation in kendo, but when facing Captain Yamamoto, he is still a child compared to a giant.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the captain's office was chilling.

Shiranui Sho reversed her wrist and changed her force, showcasing all she had learned in a year.

However, Yamamoto remained calm and composed, using his sword in one hand to block Shiranui Sou's continuous attacks one by one.

"it is good."

After an unknown amount of time, Yamamoto spoke again, calling a halt to this unexpected mini-test.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto said in a calm tone, "Not bad. It seems you didn't waste your time at the Shinigami Academy."

"Compared to you, Captain, I am still far behind."

"Shiranui Sou said solemnly."

This wasn't flattery, but a heartfelt statement; he deeply recognized the gap between himself and the other person.

Speaking of which, when Captain-Commander Yamamoto first picked up a sword, Kaguya Otsutsuki probably hadn't even arrived in the ninja world yet.

These words brought a slight smile to Yamamoto's face, and he encouraged him, saying:

"I am like the setting sun, while you are like the rising sun. How can we be compared?"

After sheathing his knife, he leaned on his cane, looking like a kind old man who was harmless to humans and animals.

After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, "You have already reached the first level of spiritual power, and your future is limitless, but your slashing techniques and free-fighting skills still need improvement."

"From today onwards, come to the First Division at this time every week, and I will instruct you in slashing and hand-to-hand combat."

"Yes, disciple thanks teacher!"

A fleeting look of joy crossed Shiranui Sou's eyes, and she quickly bowed in response.

"Um……"

Captain Yamamoto nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"I heard you've already submitted your application to skip a grade and graduate?"

Captain Yamamoto asked about another matter, "Have you decided which Division you want to join?"

"Well... I haven't decided yet."

Shiranui Sou was slightly taken aback, then answered truthfully.

In his opinion, the various divisions were all pretty much the same, as long as he didn't go to the Fifth Division and stay with Aizen.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Aizen, but Aizen now believed that he was also under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu, even though he wasn't. If Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu to do something underhanded, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on.

"It's still early, you can think about it carefully."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto did not offer his own opinion, but simply gave this instruction.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Shiranui Sho took her leave.
