Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.
Chapter 23 Human Games: Avoiding Detours
Shen Jue's spiritual pressure is increasing dramatically! The released spiritual pressure seems to rival that of the Captain-Commander!
Shen Jue's Zanpakuto was covered with embroidered red patterns, making it look gorgeous and magnificent.
As the Captain-Commander said, releasing spiritual pressure is precisely to protect the Zanpakuto.
Otherwise, Shen Jue would indeed need to worry about whether his Zanpakuto would shatter during the battle.
The Captain-Commander's terrifying spiritual pressure, honed over thousands of years, combined with Ryujin Jakka, the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto capable of evaporating the entire Soul Society.
If Shen Jue did not have sufficient spiritual pressure to wield his Zanpakuto, the Human Game would most likely shatter during the battle.
Human games and Ryujin Jakka suddenly collide!
The barrier surrounding the entire battleground emitted a painful cracking sound.
Many captains began to increase the spiritual pressure to maintain the barrier!
Very strong! That was Shen Jue's first reaction.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's swordsmanship, honed over thousands of years amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, is something Shen Jue, with his exceptional talent and accumulated training experience, cannot surpass in a short period of time.
The so-called sword techniques and schools have long been reduced to the most basic sword skills in the hands of the Captain-Commander.
Shen Jue was in great pain and, after exchanging dozens of blows with the captain, he decisively retreated.
Calming the restless spiritual pressure within his body, the Captain-Commander smiled.
"Such a simple and unyielding swordsmanship, honed through countless trials, actually came from your hands." The captain said, stroking his beard as he held Ryujin Jakka in one hand.
"It really doesn't look like it."
"Swordsmanship is a derivative of the swordsman's soul. I never expected that your swordsmanship would suit this old man's taste so well, kid."
"Fine, use your Zanpakuto ability, brat. I'll end this battle."
Death God Shen Jue certainly didn't have time to hone his simple, hard-earned swordsmanship, but what could he do when the pirate Shen Jue was a diligent training fanatic?
"Old man, you'd better watch out, my Zanpakuto: Human Game."
Shen Jue placed the embroidered red game to her chest and whispered, "Since it's a game, there must be winners and losers."
"The victors are rewarded, and the losers are punished."
"Let's begin! The Human Game!"
A huge black and white chessboard stretched out from under Shen Jue's feet, enveloping the captain as well.
The human games, embroidered with shimmering red patterns, began to pulsate incessantly.
When the pattern stopped, a character card symbolizing a geisha appeared above Shen Jue's head.
A character card symbolizing a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man appeared above the captain's head.
"I drew the Geisha, so my spiritual pressure will not be depleted for the next ten minutes."
"But you, sir, have drawn a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man, which will weaken your fighting instincts and determination to the greatest extent possible."
"Since it's a game, explaining the rules is necessary."
Shen Jue slowly explained the abilities of his Zanpakuto.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's once warlike heart has now cooled completely, as if frozen for millions of years.
"A Zanpakuto of the rule type? Barely usable." The Captain-Commander put Ryujin Jakka back into his wooden cane and said with a hint of helplessness.
"Young people these days really don't understand the elderly."
Kyoraku Shunsui was quite relieved. Fortunately, Shen Jue's Zanpakuto ability had stopped the battle from the sidelines. Otherwise, he would have been really worried that the Captain-Commander above would have used Bankai, affecting the entire Soul Society.
The fully realized Bankai, Ryujin Jakka, can burn away all the moisture in the Soul Society in a short time, leading to its inevitable collapse.
Therefore, the team captains present opposed the captain-in-chief's decision to test Shen Jue.
But the older people get, the harder it is for them to listen to advice, especially the captain, a grim reaper who has fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This led to the battle between Shen Jue and the captain.
Seeing that Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had given up the fight, Shen Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Shen Jue wasn't a battle maniac. In his opinion, such unnecessary battles were not worth fighting.
With his current strength, he is more than capable of becoming the captain of the Gotei 13, so why should he fight to the death with the Captain-Commander?
Isn't it better to listen to music in a brothel?
That's right, Shen Jue plans to join the corrupt First Division, become a peripheral link in the entire Seireitei command center, and then start to slack off.
If all else fails, you could go work as a civil engineer in the Third Division.
Don't you see, the Seireitei is constantly being damaged and repaired? The funds allocated for reconstruction alone would be enough for Shen Jue to live a carefree and luxurious life, indulging in nightly revelry.
Moreover, building a luxurious izakaya in Seireitei is Shen Jue and Kyoraku Shunsui's current goal.
"Kid, you'll be the captain of the 10th Division from now on," the Captain-Commander said calmly.
"Huh? Captain, may I...?" Shen Jue was startled and immediately responded.
"Unfortunately, no."
After saying that, the captain left, leaving several captains to clean up the mess and ensure the remaining graduates of the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy could join the team.
No other captains objected to the captain's decision. In the eyes of many captains, making Shen Jue a mere seated officer was already the result of the captain's desire to hone Shen Jue's skills.
The 10th Division of the Gotei 13 is a patrol and security unit responsible for maintaining order within the Seireitei, issuing emergency alerts, and carrying out special missions.
In other words, Shen Jue avoided thousands of years of detours and successfully became a security guard.
"Joining the 10th Division is certainly an option, but joining the 1st Division would open up even more possibilities, Captain-Commander!" Shen Jue made a final effort.
The captain did not turn around.
At this moment, Shiba Isshin, the current captain of the 10th Division, who is also the father of Kurosaki Ichigo, the protagonist of Bleach hundreds of years later, walked over and patted Shen Jue on the shoulder.
The head of this branch of the Shiba family is a meticulous and reliable person who values loyalty and gratitude.
"Brother Shen Jue, I'll be relying on you to look after the 10th Division from now on," Shiba Isshin said with a smile.
"Captain, please take good care of me in the future." Shen Jue withdrew his pleading expression from the captain and solemnly bowed to Zhibo Yixin to acknowledge him as his sworn brother.
Shiba Isshin simply smiled gently.
Shen Jue pondered how many familiar faces he knew from the anime were in the 10th Division during this period.
Suddenly, a female Grim Reaper with an extremely broad mind crashed into Shen Jue's brain.
Ah, it wouldn't be bad to be colleagues with Matsumoto Rangiku, that generous female Grim Reaper who gives out so many perks!
Shen Jue thought to himself.
Only in this aspect does Shen Jue possess an unparalleled level of focus.
Next, Aizen, who had been hiding his talents and spiritual pressure, successfully entered the Fifth Division.
The Fifth Division Captain, Hirako Shinji, was happy that the seemingly gentle and handsome Aizen had chosen the Fifth Division, and Shen Jue sincerely wished that he could still smile in the future.
After the graduates of the Shinigami Academy decide which squad they want to join.
Shen Jue was stopped by the dark-skinned, hot girl, Yoruichi.
As a noble lady from the Shihouin family, Yoruichi Shihouin blushed and, squeezing out her broad chest, asked, "Brother Shen Jue, can you help me with 'that' tonight?"
How could Shen Jue possibly refuse?
He could only swallow hard, nod, and tearfully stand up his friend Kyoraku Shunsui.
