Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

After introducing themselves in July, they conducted a preliminary assessment of the students' swordsmanship, mainly to see if they had a basic grasp of spiritual pressure control techniques and could apply these techniques in actual combat.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Kana Mochi and Kensei Muguruma were able to grasp the basics of spiritual pressure control in such a short time. It's because they have high talent, coupled with the special Sailfish Spirit Training Method, that they were able to grasp the basics of spiritual pressure control in such a short time.

After some investigation, it was found that only one-third of the students had a basic grasp of spiritual pressure control techniques.

In July, these students in the continuing education program were then taught separately.

Those who haven't yet mastered spiritual pressure control techniques continue their training, while others correct their mistakes and shortcomings through sparring.

Chapter 28: The Great Gains from the Continuing Education Course

[Receive an extra reward for successfully teaching a swordsmanship advanced course for the first time]

[Gained a random trait attribute - Sword Mind Clarity]

[Gain 10000 points of basic general experience]

[Random skill proficiency level +2]

[Gain 3 disciple binding slots]

The bonus for the first lesson in the advanced swordsmanship course is greater than the bonus for the first swordsmanship lesson previously.

In July, a new trait was obtained. Focusing on the "Sword Heart Clarity" trait, more information was immediately revealed.

[Sword Heart Clarity: You have grasped the true meaning of the sword, and can always find the best way to strike. During combat, your swordsmanship level increases by 5. When learning new sword techniques, you can easily master them.]

The effect of the "Sword Heart Clarity" attribute is truly surprising.

The sword skill level increase from "Sword Heart Clarity" is additional!

In other words, the higher the sword skill level in July, the more significant the improvement brought by the attribute!

Furthermore, the "Sword Heart Clarity" attribute makes it easier for July to learn new sword techniques.

The sword skills I practiced in July were not limited to those displayed on the panel; it's just that some of them were not yet mastered and therefore not shown on the panel.

With the "Sword Heart Clarity" attribute, he learned sword skills much faster.

The extra reward includes 10000 points of general experience in basic abilities. In July, I plan to allocate 9000 of these points to spiritual pressure and the remaining 1000 to Shunpo.

The experience required increases every five levels. July's current spiritual pressure level is 55, and it now requires 3000 experience points to level up.

After allocating general experience, spiritual pressure level increased from 55 to 58.

1000 general experience points are just enough to level up Instant Step twice, raising its level from 23 to 25.

In July, I looked at my basic panel:

[Basic Abilities: Spiritual Pressure lv58, Swordsmanship lv54, Kido lv20, Hakuda lv11, Shunpo lv25]

This time, the rewards also include random skill proficiency levels.

This time, the skill proficiency level was increased in Returning to the Dao, and Returning to the Dao has reached the Great Mastery level!

Countless experiences of applying the Dao suddenly flooded his mind, as if he had been using the Dao to heal patients and study the Dao for the past one or two hundred years.

The Daoist practice involved a great deal of medical knowledge, and this advancement to mastery yielded far more memories than the improvements made to sword skills. The sheer volume of memories left July stunned for a long time.

With this skill, he could even become the vice-captain of the Fourth Division.

He has no chance of becoming the captain of the fourth division, because he can't even beat Unohana.

In addition, three more disciple binding slots were obtained in July, confirming that there is a way to increase the number of disciple slots. Now there is no need to worry about not having enough slots to recruit new disciples.

July felt that the reward for the first lesson of this swordsmanship training course far exceeded the previous rewards.

The advanced swordsmanship class should be taught by the head of the swordsmanship club.

In July, Minister Asido was busy with his mission to participate in the Hueco Mundo expedition and could not spare the time to lead the team.

Meanwhile, another veteran teacher, Mr. Murata, fell ill due to his advanced age.

This is why the swordsmanship training course fell to July.

Otherwise, before becoming the head of the swordsmanship club in July, he would not have been qualified to lead swordsmanship training classes at all.

"I've earned three disciple binding slots for the first lesson of this swordsmanship training course. Will I get such generous rewards for teaching other training courses?" July wondered to herself.

If that's the case, then he can also receive the reward of a disciple's bound quota by teaching the Kido, Shunpo, Hakuda, and Huidao advanced training classes.

However, he can only think about it now. Like the swordsmanship training course, other advanced training courses require a minister to be qualified to lead them.

In July, recalling the memories of the Dao she had just received, she tried to find a way to cure Ba Yunzhai.

Unfortunately, after much searching, no way to heal the damaged spiritual pressure core could be found.

However, he completely understood the treatment plan for Unohana's suppression of her spiritual pressure core injury.

By comparing the treatment plans for Unohana, July felt that his medical skills and medical expertise were already very close to Unohana's.

His medical skills and those of Unohana should be at the same level, except that Unohana has more medical experience.

July speculated that a proficient level of return technique is considered average in the Fourth Division, while a master level of return technique is equivalent to a senior officer level in the Fourth Division. His mastery level of return technique is more than enough to qualify him as the vice-captain of the Fourth Division.

"Perhaps if I reach the pinnacle of Dao, I will find a way to heal the damaged spiritual pressure core," July thought to herself.

"Shikatori-kun."

A familiar, gentle, and melodious voice entered her ears, pulling July back to reality from her thoughts.

When July saw the gentle and beautiful woman in front of her, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

He was just comparing his own and Unohana's response levels when he unexpectedly met her so soon.

"Shikatori-kun?"

"Captain Unohana, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Dean Kotetsu invited me to give a lecture to the students on the application of the Dao of Return. You're already teaching a swordsmanship training class?" Unohana pointed to the plaque above the swordsmanship room, which read "Swordsmanship Training Class".

Unohana passed by the swordsmanship room of the swordsmanship training class and heard the sound of students practicing swordsmanship inside. She looked inside and unexpectedly saw Shikatori Nanatsuki there.

The matter of July taking the class was only the result of internal coordination within the Swordsmanship Club and had not yet spread beyond the Spirit Arts Academy, so Unohana was unaware of July's substitute teaching.

"Minister Asido is going to participate in the Hueco Mundo Expedition and won't be able to teach the swordsmanship training class, so I'm teaching it for him now," July explained with a smile.

"I see. But being able to teach the refresher course shows that Shikato-kun's teaching ability has been recognized." Unohana was surprised. She knew about the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, but she didn't expect that the substitute teacher would be assigned to Nanatsu, after all, he was just a newly hired teacher.

"It was just a coincidence," July said modestly.

"I'm going to give a lecture now. It's been quite a while since I've guided you on the way of returning to the Dao. You should come along and listen too. I might need your help later. Today I'm going to teach an advanced way of returning to the Dao technique. If any of the students can understand it, they might become the future captains of the Fourth Division," Unohana said gently.

The way of returning in July was learned from Unohana.

In July, he asked Bayunzai if he could teach him how to return to the Dao, and then Bayunzai took him to the Fourth Division, where he studied under Unohana for a period of time.

However, Unohana believed that Nanatsuki was the successor of the Shikatori school, so she only taught him the Way and did not accept any disciples, nor did she allow him to call her teacher.

July naturally wouldn't refuse Unohana's suggestion and followed her to the classroom of the Rehabilitation Class.

...

Chapter 29 The Return Lecture of Unohana

In July, she followed Unohana to the classroom of the Rehabilitation Class.

The proportion of female students in the advanced training program is higher, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of students.

Unohana is the captain of the Fourth Division. She comes to the Spirit Arts Academy to recruit students every year, and every student who wants to learn the Dao knows her.

The students in the refresher course looked at Nanatsuki, who was following behind Unohana, with curious eyes.

Most of the students didn't know July; only a few students recognized him. These few students were from the sixth class he taught.

In addition to the students, there were three teachers from the Reincarnation Department in the classroom, one of whom was an elderly man with white hair who was the head of the Reincarnation Department.

These four teachers all transferred from the Fourth Division and are very familiar with Unohana.

The news that Unohana would be teaching advanced back-passing techniques had already spread throughout the back-passing department, so the teachers there also came to listen to the lesson. For them, this was a rare learning opportunity.

"Thank you, Captain Unohana, for taking the time to give us a lecture." The white-haired old man stood up and led the applause.

"Minister Yamada, you're too kind. It's also the Fourth Division's responsibility to train more returnees for the 13th Guard Squadron," Unohana said gently.

"Haha, when we heard that Captain Unohana was coming to give a lecture, we all forgot everything else and rushed over to listen to the lecture," Department Head Yamada laughed.

"Yes, I rushed over as soon as get out of class ended. Luckily, there was only one class today, otherwise I would have missed Captain Unohana's lecture." Ms. Kobayashi exclaimed. She was so excited when she heard from Captain Yamada that Captain Unohana would be giving a lecture on advanced return techniques that day that she couldn't sleep all night.

Unohana came here this time to see if there are any geniuses who can return to the Dao in the Spirit Arts Academy. If she can find a genius who can return to the Dao, she will take him back to the Fourth Division for training in advance.

Those who excel at Dao are not necessarily good at combat. The practical assessment for Six-Year Returning Students has a certain attrition rate, and she doesn't want Dao-returning geniuses to perish in the practical assessment.

In July, I took my seat next to several teachers who were returning to their hometowns.

"Isn't this the swordsmanship club's... Shikatori-sensei?" Yamada, the club president, didn't recognize Nanatsuki. It took him a while to remember his name, and he was puzzled by his presence here.

"Is Shikatori-sensei here to listen to Captain Unohana's lecture on swordsmanship?" Kobayashi-sensei introduced to the other teachers. "Shikatori-sensei also studied swordsmanship with Unohana-sensei for a few years. I used to see him often when I was in the Fourth Division. Don't let Shikatori-sensei's position in the swordsmanship club fool you, his swordsmanship level is actually no worse than mine."

Ms. Xiaolin is also a new teacher who just joined the company this year, and she teaches the same class as July.

Furthermore, Ms. Kobayashi was transferred from the Fourth Division. When Nana was learning the Dao from Unohana, she was still in the Fourth Division, so she was quite familiar with Nana.

"Oh? That's truly a promising young man. Shikatori-sensei is so young, yet he has already made achievements in both kendo and kendo." Yamada-sama was somewhat surprised. Kobayashi-sensei was able to serve as a kendo instructor, so his kendo skills must be quite strong. Although his technique is still relatively immature, given time he could reach the level of the last seat officer of the Fourth Division.

"Captain Konohana taught us well," July said with a smile.

Unohana began her lecture, starting with the basics and gradually progressing to more advanced techniques, beginning with some basic and intermediate-level response skills.

However, Unohana's insightful explanations, even when she spoke of ordinary reply techniques, were incredibly enlightening. Even Ms. Kobayashi gained some new insights and had fresh perspectives on techniques she thought she had mastered.

An hour later, Unohana began to explain the key points of the day.

"As you all know, Hollows at the Grand level often evolve unique abilities. Today, I'm going to talk about a special way of treating injuries that is related to Grand Hollows," said Unohana.

"This kind of injury is caused by the invasion of Hollow Poison. The toxins released by some Hollows at the level of Grand Hollow are extremely terrifying. Even a Captain-level Shinigami cannot remove the Hollow Poison with their own spiritual pressure without the corresponding treatment methods. They can only use their spiritual pressure to barely suppress the Hollow Poison and delay the time it takes for the toxin to spread in their body."
