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

Fourth Division Member: "We've been on vacation lately since nothing much has been happening."

July explained her purpose: "I hope I haven't bothered you. I'm here to find some people to help me. The swordsmanship assessment at the Spirit Arts Academy has been changed to a real sword competition, and we need some medical support."

Fourth Division member: "How can you say it's a disturbance? Lord Shikatori taught me how to respond a while ago, and I haven't even properly repaid you yet. Please let me know if you need any help!"

"Yes, yes, it's so great to be able to help you!"

"Me too!"

The Grim Reapers in the yard immediately agreed to help, and the commotion in the yard also attracted the attention of the people inside the house.

When the people inside saw that it was Shikamori Nanatsuki, they all came out.

Soon, dozens of Death Gods gathered in the barracks courtyard.

"What! You're going to the Spirit Arts Academy to watch Lord Shikatri preside over the True Sword Trial?"

"Don't leave me out of this great opportunity! I want to go too!"

Too many Shinigami wanted to go to the Spirit Arts Academy with him, which even alarmed Unohana.

"Shikatori-kun is so popular, he's practically emptied out the Fourth Division!"

Unohana's tone was still as gentle as ever, but July felt a chill in her heart.

Unohana thought for a moment and continued, "I'll take them with me. Although we don't need that many people, we can just watch the competition."

She was also somewhat interested in a real sword fight.

...

"Dean Kotetsu, I've already invited the Shinigami from the Fourth Division, but there are quite a few of them," July said.

"Shikatori-kun is truly remarkable, to have such a high reputation in the Fourth Division," Ayane Kotetsu exclaimed. "But then again, someone as gentle as Shikatori-kun is the type that's very popular with girls."

This swordsmanship assessment seems to have turned into a team-building activity for the Fourth Division.

Ayane Kotetsu was also very surprised that Shikari Nanatsuki was able to gather so many people.

She needs to start considering whether the swordplay room at the Spirit Arts Academy can accommodate so many spectators.

However, in order to invite the captains and nobles, the Spirit Arts Academy also built an open-air arena, which, if opened in advance, can accommodate so many spectators.

"Let's use the open-air arena for the next match," said Ayane Kotetsu.

The students who participated in the competition soon received a notice to go to the open-air arena to compete.

"Why are there so many more people!" Kensei Rokusha was somewhat surprised. He understood why the competition venue had been changed to an outdoor ring.

The swordplay room simply can't accommodate so many people!

"That must be Captain Unohana, right? I saw Rii too. I guess they're all people the teacher called from the Fourth Division," said Kana Azashiro.

"Tsk, those people from the Shinigami Academy thought the True Sword Tournament couldn't continue without them, but then the teacher made a move and brought over the entire Fourth Division." Hirako Shinji grinned.

"With so many people watching, I have to do my best!" Kensei Rokusha clenched his fist; he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people.

"Go for it, Kensei! It's so enviable that our teacher knows so many girls from the Fourth Division!" Tsubaki Jin'emon was also fired up, wishing he could fight for Kensei.

"Tsubaki, you're married now, why are you still thinking about these things?" Hirako Shinji said.

Kotsubaki Jin'emon was an older student at the academy; he was already married and had children when he enrolled.

Actually, he was the oldest among the disciples of Shiroki no Nanatsu, but he liked to call his fellow disciples who were more skilled than him "brother" or "sister".

"You can be envious even if you're married," said Kyouka Jin'emon, scratching his face.

Kensei Muguruma's match was in the second round, and it wasn't long before it was his turn to enter the ring.

His opponent was Ichiro Madarame.

Ichiro Madarame encountered Noriyuki Omaeda and was knocked into the loser's bracket by Omaeda.

But this does not mean that Ichiro Madarame is weak; he successfully made it into the top eight in the last assessment.

He only made it into the loser's bracket because of bad luck in the draw; he's considered one of the best students in his class.

"I hope this opponent doesn't fall too quickly." Kensei Rokusha stretched his wrists and walked towards the ring.

"This Madarame Ichiro is pretty strong, Kensei-nii, keep it up!" Tsubaki Jin'emon shouted to Rokugura Kensei.

"Don't worry, the battle will be over soon." Kensei Muguruma didn't turn around, but raised his hand and waved to his companions.

July's eye twitched; this kid was setting up his flag again.

Chapter 120 Kensei Muguruma's Strength

The outdoor arena set up by the Spiritual Arts Academy is somewhat similar in structure to the Roman Colosseum.

In the center is the arena, and around it are tiered seating areas for the audience.

Unohana sat down with Kotetsu Ayane and the others.

"Captain Unohana, I didn't expect that Shikatori-sensei could invite you here. The Fourth Division Hospital should be less busy now, right?" Captain Yamada greeted him.

“Most of the injured have been discharged from the hospital, and I haven’t had anything to do recently, so I came to check on them,” Unohana said with a light smile.

Vice Dean Tsuna watched coldly, but Department Head Nakano added fuel to the fire by deliberately asking:

"Vice Dean Tsunayo, the competition has already started, why hasn't Professor Tsunayo Tokina arrived yet?"

Vice Dean Tsunayo forced a stiff smile: "Professor Shitan is not feeling well and has gone back to rest."

He was secretly annoyed; Tsunayoshi Tokinada had been upset that morning and simply refused to come.

The more you act like you care, the more ridiculous you'll become!

Young people just can't keep their composure!

"Captain Unohana, the upcoming matches should be more exciting. That Kensei Muguruma is a disciple of Shikatori-sensei. He even used his Shikai in the previous matches. His opponent, Ichiro Madarame, is no weakling either. He even made it into the top eight in the last autumn exams." Captain Yamada stroked his beard.

“Yes, it’s quite rare to see Shikai in the competition among the insei (students),” said Ayane Kotetsu.

"You've already mastered Shikai while still in the Spirit Arts Academy? Looks like the Spirit Arts Academy is about to produce another genius," Unohana said with a smile.

...

On the stage—

"It's so dazzling!"

After stepping onto the ring, Kensei Rokusha instinctively raised his hand to block.

Ichiro Madarame is bald.

Several visible veins bulged on his forehead: "What did you say?!"

“I mean light…” Kensei Muguruma hesitated for a moment, but gave up on mocking others by their appearance. “The midday sun is very bright.”

"Don't think I didn't understand!" Madarame Ichiro, known for his fiery temper, drew his Zanpakuto. "Madarame Ichiro, reporting for duty!"

Madarame Ichiro's figure quickly approached. He didn't want Kensei Muguruma to use his Shikai. Once Kensei Muguruma used his Shikai, he would have no chance of winning.

Just then, Kensei Muguruma also swiftly drew his Zanpakuto, and a beam of sword light rose up.

"Shikatori-ryu - Senmai-tsuki!"

Madarame Ichiro's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped and swung his sword to block.

He also watched the fight between Kensei Muguruma and Sōjun Kuchiki, and as an observer, he felt that Kensei Muguruma's swordsmanship was sharp and swift.

But it wasn't until he personally experienced Kensei Muguruma's attack that he truly understood what Kuchiki Sōjun was facing back then!

Kensei Mukkale's sword strikes were like a fine, continuous drizzle.

Clang—Pfft—Clang clang clang—Pfft—

His Zanpakuto was like a tattered, leaky umbrella, with dense raindrops pouring in through the gaps, unable to stop the rain from pouring in at all!

bang-

Madarame Ichiro's Zanpakuto fell to the ground.

The injury to his wrist prevented him from gripping his Zanpakuto firmly, and the injury to his leg prevented him from standing steadily, causing him to fall forward.

bang——

Kensei Rokusha sheathed his sword, and Ichiro Madarame fell to the ground.

Sold out instantly!

Kensei Muguruma's strength is now worlds apart from that of most of the academy students!

"Kenshi Rokkaku wins!"

In July, the results of the match were announced, and two members of the Fourth Division went on stage to carry Ichiro Madarame away for treatment.

After Kensei Rokusha stepped off the ring, he was greeted with cheers from his companions.

"Wow, Kenshin! He defeated Madarame Ichiro in one move. This must be what the teacher meant by 'instant kill'!" Kimiemon Kotsubaki exclaimed excitedly.

“‘Thousand Pieces Disarm’ is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately I still couldn’t learn it before the assessment started,” Hirako Shinji said with a regretful expression.

"I feel like Kensei's swordsmanship has gotten a bit faster?" Kana Azashiro said.

"This is what it's like after learning Shikai. Shikai is about controlling the wind, which has given me a deeper understanding of sword speed." Kensei Muguruma scratched the back of his head.

"Awesome! I hope we can meet in the semifinals!" Cilantro Mochi was rubbing her hands together excitedly.

After a long silence, the audience began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Isn't this guy the one who got eliminated in the first round of the last assessment? How did he suddenly become so strong?" said a student who was unaware of the truth.

"Didn't you see his last match? He's already mastered the initial release!"

"What! He actually learned Shikai? Maybe I was in the medical room during his match and didn't see it... It's unbelievable that a loser could learn Shikai so quickly?"

"You're still lagging behind? Can't you see how amazing his swordsmanship is? He hasn't even used his Shikai yet!"

"Unbelievable, the people in Class Two are actually this strong..."

Although many people had some expectations about Kensei Muguruma's strength, his performance still surprised everyone.

Ichiro Madarame is quite strong, and it wouldn't be surprising if he made it to the quarterfinals, but he was defeated in one move by Kensei Muguruma.

Unohana was also surprised: "Shikatori-kun's disciple can also do 'Senmaiseki'... Shikatori-kun really has a talent for teaching."
