Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

A battle between them is inevitable.

For the sake of that intoxicating pleasure, he must be properly taught!

I'm really looking forward to... that day when joy arrives!

"...Where is the Third Seat of Shingetsu now?"

Yamamoto didn't notice the subtle change in Unohana Retsu's expression and just asked to himself.

"The Third Seat of the Moon is recuperating in the Fourth Division. Although his injuries have healed, the battle was extremely fierce, so I have him temporarily hospitalized for observation."

"Hospitalization for observation? You're spoiling him too much!" Yamamoto said irritably. "That kind of minor injury doesn't need hospitalization. Don't forget how we got through it back then."

Yamamoto felt increasingly uncomfortable as he listened.

Why is this murderer being so nice to that brat?

It makes it seem like I'm a terrible teacher!

How could this ruthless woman, who kills without hesitation, have transformed into such a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko?!

"Times have changed, Captain-Commander."

Unohana Retsu lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Didn't we establish the Gotei 13 precisely to protect this hard-won beauty?"

Is this your line?

Yamamoto immediately glared and fumed, feeling as if he were about to be so angry that he would turn back to his thousand-year-old self.

This woman's character is still as wicked as it was a thousand years ago!

He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Let Zhenyue come over."

…………

"Matsuki, you've come."

From the First Division Captain's office came the kind and amiable voice of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Aozaki Mayuki's expression was strange, but she nodded in response, "Teacher."

It's really strange that the old man didn't have a stern face; there's probably something fishy going on.

Yamamoto coughed twice and said with concern, "You look well... Is your injury alright?"

Upon hearing Yamamoto's words, Unohana Retsu, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing, and Aozaki Mayuki's expression changed.

The old man actually cares about me!

Something is wrong!

Something's really wrong!

He reached up to his forehead, swayed, and said in an exaggerated manner:

"Teacher, I...I'm quite badly injured and need to go back to the Fourth Division to recuperate. Captain Unohana, please take me back to the Fourth Division."

Retsu Unohana walked over, looked him up and down, shook her head, and then walked out of the captain's office with a smile on her face.

What does this mean? Is he questioning his own acting skills?

Or perhaps he was doomed, that even the first Kenpachi couldn't save him?

Aozaki Mayuki was stunned.

No, judging from her gloating expression, perhaps the old man's behavior is related to her!

Yamamoto watched Unohana Retsu's departing figure as the office door slowly closed.

Looking towards Aozaki Mayuki, who seemed lost in thought,

He was silent for a moment, seemingly struggling with something, but ultimately reverted to his original demeanor, the kindness vanishing from his face, and asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me, what's the story with your Zanpakuto?"

"Zanpakuto?" Aozaki Mayuki was taken aback at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the old man returned to his original form indicates that he is most likely out of danger.

He understood what Yamamoto meant, relaxed, and scratched his head:

"Teacher, no offense, but isn't it inappropriate to ask such a private question in public? We might have eavesdroppers!"

Yamamoto didn't say anything, quietly tilting his head to one side.

Aozaki Mayuki understood immediately, walked to the wall, stretched out her hand and placed it on it, feeling a barrier.

As expected, old ginger is spicier; the old man in the mountain had already considered everything thoroughly.

Aozaki Mayuki sat down in front of him, took the teacup, and took a sip, her expression quite serious.

"Actually, there's a connection between me and the myriad phenomena of the universe..."

He was about to recount the close relationship between himself and his Zanpakuto when he felt the old man Yamamoto's sharp gaze, and he changed his mind from the bottom of his heart:

"Actually, I have learned the initial solution."

"You've really grown up. Not only did you defeat Oni-Yan-Cheng, but you even dare to mock this old man." Yamamoto chuckled and sighed, reaching for his cane. "I'm very pleased!"

Chapter 111 Don't

Aozaki Mayuki recalled unpleasant memories and hurriedly waved her hand:

"No... Teacher, please let me explain. I wasn't teasing you. I really have learned the Shikai!"

Yamamoto paused, stopped what he was doing, frowned, and said suspiciously:

"What do you mean? Was your Zanpakuto only partially released before? Or does it have multiple Shikai abilities and release phrases?"

Aozaki Mayuki exclaimed, "As expected of our teacher, the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, you are truly knowledgeable and experienced, guessing it in an instant!"

The flattery was clumsy, but Yamamoto appreciated it and nodded slowly with a smile.

It's really not easy to get this kid to say a few nice words about me, and when he does, they're mostly sarcastic and strange.

This heartfelt praise really made his blood and energy flow much better.

Seeing the old man's expression soften, Aozaki Mayuki became unrestrained again and casually said:

"Actually, the initial interpretation I used before was in a semi-liberated state due to an error in the liberation terminology."

"Through this battle with Oni-Ichiro Kenpachi, and the tempering between life and death, Bansho Senra finally revealed the true release phrase."

"After learning the word of liberation, I successfully completed the true initial interpretation!"

At this point, Aozaki Mayuki secretly glanced at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto listened quietly without saying a word, his deep eyes fixed on him as if expecting something.

Aozaki Mayuki recalled a line from the British TV series "Yes, Prime Minister"—

If you lack ability, you must be honest; if you want to use tricks, you must be clever.

He used this phrase to deal with Aizen, and he made no attempt to hide his ambition from Aizen.

...Looks like I'll have to use it on the teacher today.

He took a deep breath, smiled with a sense of relief, and continued:

"After she was fully liberated, she had three effects."

"First, it imitates the Shikai of other Zanpakuto, whose power is determined by the user's spiritual pressure."

"Second, when imitating the Shikai, the user decides whether to change the Zanpakuto's appearance."

"Third, it can use multiple Shikai powers simultaneously, and Shikai abilities can be used in combination."

"What about the side effects?" Yamamoto asked, frowning.

This is his biggest concern.

The ability to unleash the myriad phenomena reminded him of the Yanluo Mirror Classic of the Tsunayo family.

Enra Kyōden is the inherited Zanpakutō of the Tsunayō family. It also has the ability to imitate other people's Zanpakutō, but its drawback is that it will permanently consume the user's soul.

Despite the severe side effects, its powerful abilities continue to attract generations of young people in the Tsunayoshiro family.

With this child's talent, he can become strong without relying on such tricks.

If there are similar side effects, and he becomes addicted to it, then that would be troublesome.

“No.” Aozaki Mayuki shook her head.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Yamamoto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then nodded in satisfaction, a gratified smile appearing on his lips, and said meaningfully:

“Very good, Aozaki Mayuki, you have not disappointed me.”

"Your initial interpretation ability is basically consistent with my deduction."

"Aozaki Mayuki, you are my disciple. I don't want to deceive you, so I will tell you the truth..."

"If you deceive me, then I will reconsider whether our master-disciple relationship should continue."

Yamamoto paused, as if making up his mind, and continued,

“I understand that a teacher should not doubt his students; this was my mistake.”

“I am not a qualified teacher. If you do not wish to acknowledge me as your teacher, I agree to let you leave the school.”

"Don't worry, after you leave your sect, I will recommend you to Captain Unohana."

“You may not know her well. She is the first Kenpachi of Soul Society and one of the strongest fighters in the Gotei 13. She is fully qualified to be your teacher.”

It sounds exciting to have Sister Hua as my teacher.

cough cough...

Wait, why is the old man so rigid? He's already said his thoughts, can't he at least try to fool me?

I'm very easy to fool. Just introduce me to a few beautiful female Grim Reapers and I'll pretend I know nothing about it!

Surely you can't be saying this because you don't want me as a good student?
