Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Inside the Seireitei, an alarm suddenly sounded.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni of the Gotei 13 was closing his eyes to calm himself when he suddenly opened them and looked in the direction of the Shinigami Academy.

"An unfamiliar spiritual pressure? A freshman can actually reach the captain level? How interesting."

"Chunshui, go there."

The captain of the Eighth Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, who was lying behind his desk, slacking off and sipping his drink, smiled helplessly.

"The old man is ordering people around again." Muttering to himself, Kyoraku Shunsui flashed away and headed towards the location of the Shinigami Academy.

When Kyoraku Shunsui arrived at the registration office of Shin'o Spiritual Arts Academy, the dozen or so teachers from Shin'o Spiritual Arts Academy were standing reservedly behind a young soul, waiting quietly.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure continued to be released, and the souls who had registered all turned pale as they trembled upon witnessing this powerful spiritual pressure.

"Hey, you monster, please put away your spiritual pressure. The new students can't take it anymore," Kyoraku Shunsui said in an exaggerated tone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue calmly suppressed the spiritual pressure within his body and then asked, "Then can I enroll?"

"Of course you can. Why don't you just join our Gotei 13? The Shinigami Academy can't accept a monster like you."

Kyoraku Shunsui has medium-length brown, slightly wavy hair tied in a ponytail, adorned with two decorative hairpins. She wears an embroidered pink haori jacket, a straw raincoat, and a beard.

Shen Jue recognized the Grim Reaper in front of him at a glance: Kyoraku Shunsui, the current captain of the 8th Division of the Gotei 13, and also the future Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and captain of the 1st Division.

"But I love learning, and besides, I don't have a Zanpakuto," Shen Jue said, spreading his hands.

At this moment, his lazy demeanor overlapped with that of Kyoraku Shunsui.

The two exchanged a glance, both recognizing in each other's eyes their shared passion for listening to music in brothels and the young women.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Shen Jue smiled at each other, instantly bringing them much closer.

"Oh my, you've reached this level without a Zanpakuto or any training in sword-wielding techniques?" Kyoraku Shunsui said slowly. "Congratulations on successfully joining the Shinigami Academy. I look forward to your graduation."

Shen Jue smiled and gave a subtle glance, causing Jing Le Chun Shui's eyes to light up slightly as she realized what Shen Jue meant.

Kyoraku Shunsui approached a teacher from the Shinigami Academy, whispered a few words to him, and then walked side by side with Shen Jue into the Rukongai, the outer perimeter of Seireitei.

As night fell, Kyoraku Shunsui and Shen Jue walked side by side through the bustling Rukongai district.

The place was brightly lit and bustling with activity, and all the guests exuded the same kind of ambiance.

The constant singing, drinking, and banter made Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes light up, and Shen Jue was no exception.

The two walked together without exchanging many words, until they reached the outside of one of the most luxurious restaurants.

A dozen or so fair-skinned and beautiful courtesans, dressed in revealing clothing, were playing instruments and singing outside the banquet, with laughter ringing out from time to time.

"Oh dear, what brings you here? I have official business to attend to. Brother Shen, let's meet again tomorrow," Kyoraku Shunsui said, but he didn't take a step.

Having exchanged names with Kyoraku Shunsui on the way, Shen Jue said loudly, "It's getting late. What official business does the Kyoraku Band Leader still have to attend to?"

Shen Jue patted the money pouch at his waist, shook the coin ring unique to the Soul Society, and said, "I hit it off with Captain Kyoraku at first sight, and I specially invited you to this gathering today."

After saying that, Shen Jue pulled Jing Le Chun Shui and walked into the tavern.

Kyoraku Shunsui, a captain-level figure in Soul Society, was like a puppet in Shen Jue's hands, letting Shen Jue pull him into the drinking party.

Wearing light makeup, with an excellent figure and appearance, and a generous heart, the madam greeted Shen Jue and his companion while waving a round fan.

The madam expertly linked arms with Shen Jue and asked with a smile, "Did you invite any familiar girls today, young man Shen?"

Under Kyoraku Shunsui's expectant gaze, Shen Jue felt the touch on his arm and smiled faintly, "No, please invite the young lady in. My elder brother and I are going to have a drink together."

The madam smiled and nodded in agreement, then led the two through the long corridor to a secluded and luxurious room.

Shen Jue gestured for Jing Le Chunshui to sit cross-legged. The madam clapped her hands, and two women with bowed heads and delicate makeup entered the room.

Shen Jue frowned at this moment.

While the two women were certainly beautiful, they were rather shabby.

"What is this all about!" Shen Jue shouted angrily. "I'm hosting a banquet for my older brother, and you, the madam, are being incredibly unreasonable! Trying to fool us with these two!"

At the opportune moment, Shen Jue released a burst of spiritual pressure and slammed the enormous bag of rings in his arms onto the low table.

The desktop shook.

The madam jerked as if electrocuted, her chest heaving in fright, which caught Kyoraku Shunsui's attention several times.

The two women who entered the room stepped back and knelt outside the room.

"Two isn't enough! Give me six! My brother and I will each have three!" Shen Jue said boldly, tossing the large bag of rings into the madam's arms.

The madam's eyes lit up as she took the bag, disregarding any potential rudeness, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

Before long, rows of beautiful, elegant, and shapely girls lined up and entered.

"Next batch." Shen Jue waved his hand, giving Kyoraku Shunsui no time to react, and drove the women away.

After several more rounds of women taking the stage, the two men each selected three women they liked and began to toast and get to know each other.

Shen Jue and Jing Le Chunshui were enjoying their drinks when Shen Jue suddenly covered his face and began to sob softly.

Kyoraku Shunsui found it strange and quickly asked, "Young Brother Shen, why are you crying? Is something troubling you?"

Shen Jue raised his head, wiped away a few drops of wine from his eyes, and said sadly, "Brother, you don't know, but I have been wandering on the outskirts of the Soul Flowing Realm since I became conscious."

"Every day is filled with fighting and dodging potential dangers. After all these days, today I finally got my wish and can have some peace and freedom."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed and said, "The Flowing Soul Realm has been divided into different sections since ancient times."

"I am willing to contribute my humble efforts to the peace and stability of the Seireitei and the Soul Society," Shen Jue said solemnly, his sorrowful expression vanishing. "I am willing to share the burdens of the Captain-Commander!"

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and the sake maid beside him quickly refilled it.

"Captain-Commander, it is a pleasure to see a new generation of Shinigami like you who are willing to contribute to the stability of Soul Society. You can rest assured, Brother Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jue smiled and quickly took Jing Le Chunshui's hand, offering him a toast repeatedly.

The two drank until the moon was high in the sky, without stopping.
