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

Chapter 10 Defeat CG, Sister Hua's Bed

In July, he lowered his body, his muscles bulging and tense.

The spiritual pressure within his body gathered in his right arm, waist, and legs.

Shikatori-ryu·Shunpo Iai!

July vanished in an instant.

call out--

The next instant, his figure appeared behind Unohana.

His right hand was raised high, holding a long sword.

A few drops of blood dripped down the blade.

"puff--"

July looked terrible and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Looking down, he saw a huge cut in his abdomen, almost severing his entire body.

Everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Unohana remained standing in the same spot, but her gaze had changed slightly. It was no longer as tender as before; instead, her eyelids drooped slightly, and a chilling killing intent emanated from her cold eyes.

There was also a bloodstain on her abdomen.

Unohana, savoring the pleasure of the blade kissing her skin, wore a chilling smile:

"You've actually made me lose control of my sword, Shikatori-kun. You really make me happy."

...

"Are you awake?"

July felt dizzy and had just had a strange dream in which some golden hands were dissecting his body.

"Shikatori-kun?"

July suddenly opened her eyes and saw Unohana's gentle smile.

Gentle my foot!

It almost turned into March 5th!

He was blinded by greed and actually agreed to spar with Unohana.

However, he remembered that before losing consciousness, he used the advanced level of "Shunpo Iai".

For some reason, Unohana did not choose to block the sword, but instead launched a counterattack in an instant.

Unohana's counterattack nearly cut him in two.

In July, she quickly checked her body, fearing that something might be missing.

His shirt had been ripped off, and his abdomen was wrapped in several bandages.

The abdominal injury was likely treated by Unohana and is not serious.

"Don't worry, I've almost healed your injuries, and there won't be any lasting problems," Unohana said gently.

"Thank you, Captain Unohana." July breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried about turning into 3.5 months.

It was only then that July realized that this was not the Fourth Division's medical room, but a bedroom.

"This isn't the medical room, is it?" July asked curiously.

The bedroom was simply decorated, with a painting hanging on the wall and some seasonal flowers in a vase by the window, their fragrance making the room smell pleasant.

This floral scent seems familiar...

No, the bed he's sitting on is so far from the window, how could he possibly smell the flowers?

July took a deep breath, recalling that she seemed to have smelled this scent before she lost consciousness—the scent she smelled on Unohana during their close combat.

“The medical room is a bit far from the yard, and I don’t think Shikato-kun can hold on until then.” Unohana said with a smile what chilled Nanatsu to the bone. “My bedroom is right next to the yard, so I brought you here for treatment.”

July realized that the smell he was smelling was from the bed and pillows.

That means he's now lying in Sister Hua's bed!

"Ah... So this is Captain Unohana's room?" July was slightly embarrassed, not expecting to be lying on Unohana's bed.

No wonder it smells so good!

"Why is Shikatori-kun's body so tense? Relax a little, or it will affect your injury. Don't worry, I've already got a pretty good grasp of your swordsmanship."

Unohana paused, then continued, "However, it's truly remarkable that someone with such poor Shunpo skills could master 'Shunpo Iai' so well. If your Shunpo skills could also improve, that sword strike could probably seriously injure me."

The premise Unohana mentioned is that it will only happen when she suppresses her spiritual pressure.

If she hadn't suppressed her spiritual pressure, July's sword probably wouldn't have even been able to pierce her skin; the difference in their spiritual pressure was simply too great.

"My Shunpo (flash step) has indeed deteriorated a lot; I've been focusing my energy on practicing Kendo," July said helplessly.

He also knew that his Shunpo skill level did not match his swordsmanship level, because the advanced level of "Shunpo Iaijutsu" was improved using skill scrolls.

However, the skill at the Grand Master level was indeed very effective, and it was even able to injure Unohana, who was suppressing her spiritual pressure.

In July, I took the opportunity to check out Unohana's stats.

【Unohana Retsu】

[Talent: S+]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv98]

Reputation Level: Friendly

[Status: Pleasant and cheerful]

Retsu Unohana's spiritual pressure is the most terrifying among all the Shinigami that Nanatsu has ever seen. There are probably very few people in the entire Soul Society whose spiritual pressure is higher than hers.

"Can I get up?" July asked.

He can't feel anything in his abdomen right now, so he doesn't know how well his injury has healed. He's a little afraid that if he gets up now, half of his body will fall off.

“You can walk now. My sword didn’t hit your spine, and your injury has basically healed. However, you need to rest for a few days. Don’t do any strenuous exercise during these days. I will prescribe some medicine for you, which will be kept separately from the medicine from Baiyunzhai. Remember to take it when you get back.” Mao Zhihua said, picking up a bag of medicine from the table.

I got up in July and tried it out, but I didn't find any problems.

July quickly put on his clothes, grabbed the medicine, and left. He didn't want to linger in front of Unohana; she might get into a mood and call out to him while waving her Zanpakuto.

Unohana watched Nanatsuki's hasty departure and whispered, "I'm getting more and more excited about your growth, Shikato-kun."

...

July stared at her screen, lost in thought.

He noticed that a faintly visible entry had appeared on his panel's properties panel at some point.

[Born Warrior (Activating): Glory belongs to the born warrior! Reduce the impact of injuries on your actions, and you will fight with ever-growing ferocity, until death do you part!]

This entry, "Born to Fight," is different from the entries "Cooking Master" and "Persuasive and Guiding."

The term "Born to Fight" appeared intermittently, and there was also an "Activating" message.

By focusing on the entry in July, I learned more information.

"Born to be a warrior" is a hidden trait he possesses.

It activates as he focuses on combat, increasing the number of times he is injured.

However, the entry that is currently in a semi-activated state still has some effects, making it easier for him to concentrate when he is injured.

I never expected that sparring with Unohana would yield such an unexpected reward.

I returned home in July.

"What! Unohana actually dared to hurt you!" Ba Yunzhai was furious and rolled up his sleeves to draw his sword.

July pressed down on her shoulders and forced her onto the stool.

"It was just a friendly sparring match. Take your medicine first," July said helplessly.

Ba Yunzhai's injuries have improved somewhat. Today, Mao Zhihua prepared a different prescription for the medicine, which tasted very bitter, so she drank it slowly.

Ba Yunzhai hung his head and said dejectedly, "Could you add some sugar? It's too bitter!"

"It's already been added..."

"Add more!"

Chapter 11 Shikatori-ryu Training Method

"Teacher, I'm coming in!"

The sound of Cilantro from Zhicheng echoed in the courtyard.

When I peeked out in July, I saw that the cilantro had climbed up the courtyard wall again.

"The dojo has a main gate," July reminded her.

"Teacher, what are we eating today... oh no... what are we practicing today?" Cilantro climbed down from the courtyard wall and asked the question that concerned her the most.

"You still need to refine your fundamentals and do some targeted training," July said.

"But... I've already learned the stances and footwork, do I still need to learn these?" Kana waved her hands, demonstrating the sword techniques July had used in class. "When can I learn sword techniques?"

"The sword technique I use in class is 'Instant Strike,' which I will teach you. However, you still need to hone your basics. Otherwise, even if you learn the sword technique, it will only be superficial and you won't be able to unleash its full power," July said.

In fact, he himself also faces this problem: his Shunpo level is not enough to fully unleash the "Shunpo Iai" at the master level.

"Then how do I practice?" Cilantro asked curiously.

"We need some auxiliary tools." July took coriander to the warehouse to retrieve the tools for cultivation.

The warehouse is in the room to the left of the kitchen.

When the warehouse door was opened in July, a layer of dust fell from the door frame.
