The Alchemist in Bleach

In particular, some of the silly ideas I found online in the first life are not feasible. For example, using the 81st Binding Path of Sky Cutting as a space-based attacking demonic path is basically impossible. However, another idea is feasible: six-sided Sky Cutting to form a cage. With some optimization, a powerful Binding Path is born.

As for Ichiro, he also benefited greatly from Urahara's solid foundation. The two talked more and more enthusiastically, and before they knew it, the whole night had passed...

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

Suddenly, the tolling of bells interrupted their lively conversation. Both frowned, and Ichiro asked with a hint of confusion, "Why do I feel like I've heard that sound somewhere before?"

"Huh, me too." Urahara looked up in surprise and replied, then Kazuro lowered his head and continued to ponder where he had heard that.

"Emmm... Huh?! The school bell rings!" x 2

The two men's expressions changed instantly, and without even having time to straighten their clothes, they rushed out the door!

"Oh no! Why didn't you warn me?!"

"You didn't remind me either! Ugh! I'm late on the first day of class, Yoruichi is going to laugh at me!"

"Yoruichi?! You still have time to care about Yoruichi's thoughts? If we wait any longer, we'll both be discriminated against by the teacher!"

"Wait! We seem to be quite late already. Wouldn't it be the same to walk over slowly and then pretend to be in a hurry?"

Ichiro abruptly stopped running and looked at Urahara, who was still running forward, and said, "Yeah, that's true."

Then, the two of them strolled leisurely toward the classroom, completely unaffected by their earlier panic.

Chapter Three: A Mere Flaxseed

"Being late is one thing, but you two were actually walking slowly on the way here. Are you idiots?" After the first class, Yoruichi leaned against the wall in the corridor and complained to the two who were still standing as punishment.

"It's all Urahara's fault. What a terrible idea! If it weren't for your idea, we wouldn't have run into the teacher halfway there, and things might have turned out better."

"Huh? I remember you were the one who stopped first, right? Shouldn't you be to blame? If you hadn't stopped, would I have stopped?"

"Then who should be blamed?"

"..." x 2

"Strange teacher!"

After a moment of silence, the two instantly reached a consensus!

"That's right, it's the teacher's fault. If he had taught properly instead of wandering around the school, we wouldn't be seen strolling around like this!"

"That's right! If he hadn't called out our names, we wouldn't have even realized we were late!"

Yoruichi's lips twitched as she listened from the side.

"Omega Hongdoro~ Bakada~"

Yoruichi shook her head, turned and left, ignoring the two idiots.

The two of them stood like that all morning until the afternoon, when the punishment of standing was finally over. This was only because the afternoon classes were free, otherwise they would have had to stand there even more.

It's worth mentioning that although the Slash Fist and Oni Walk are the core power and assessment standard of the Shinigami, this part of the course actually doesn't account for a large proportion. The course focuses more on killing Hollows and Soul Burial.

This part accounts for the largest proportion. Killing the Hollow was within Ichiro's expectations, after all, the Hollow's strength is not weak, but the Soul Burial was a bit beyond his expectations. It seemed simple, but there were many details.

Although most of this knowledge is useless, if there's even a small oversight, the whole thing will become meaningless...

This course changed Ichiro's view of the Seireitei. Although there were many sordid things happening there, there was no doubt that it was maintaining world order!

……

Having learned his lesson this morning, Ichiro took some time at noon to use alchemy to make a pocket watch. Although the precision was not high enough, resulting in a large error, he didn't need it to be very accurate at the moment; as long as it worked, it was fine.

Therefore, Ichiro, who was used to being free in Rukongai, was not late for his afternoon sparring class.

In a dojo classroom, the teacher, dressed in a Shinigami uniform, glanced at everyone, paused on Ichiro and Urahara, and frowned slightly.

Because of what happened that morning, the two of them left a very bad impression on the teachers. One was undisciplined and corrupted the class's aristocratic genius, while the other was a lazy and unambitious commoner. Neither of them was liked by any teacher.

But no matter how much he disliked it, he was still a teacher, and classes still had to be taught. So the teacher cleared his throat twice and said, "My name is Yamada Nakamura. I will be your Hakuda teacher for the next year. Before class, I'll ask you a question about Hakuda. Raise your hand if you have studied other styles. Those who are not registered in Seireitei are also welcome."

This is because some nobles learn their family's hand-to-hand combat techniques in advance, so there is no need for them to learn some basic courses. The second point is to take into account people from Rukongai, who also have many powerful fighting techniques passed down for a long time in the modern world. These people do not need to participate in basic courses either, but there are very few such people.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Ichiro also raised his hand, and Urahara bluntly said, "Ichiro, your own creations don't count."

"I know, don't worry, it wasn't invented." It's quite normal for a State Alchemist to know some military combat techniques, right?

Yamada frowned, but ultimately let Ichiro follow the other noble students out of the line. According to the information, Ichiro had lived for several decades and was not born in Soul Society, so if he didn't even have this basic judgment ability, it was probably better that he wasn't a Shinigami.

After dividing the teams, Yamada began assigning lessons. The five who had already mastered hand-to-hand combat practiced fighting with each other, while Yamada taught the remaining 25 people the basics of hand-to-hand combat.

But with Yamada's allocation, Ichiro was caught off guard. Urahara was undoubtedly going to spar with Yoruichi, and the other two were nobles, so it was unlikely they would approach Ichiro. In other words, the common problem with odd-numbered free allocations was that Ichiro was left out...

With a sigh, Ichiro didn't disturb the Urahara couple. After glancing at Yamada's basic teaching, he shook his head, found a tree branch, and quietly walked to a corner to calculate some data.

Ichiro's current alchemical research focuses on two main areas: one is researching spiritual foods that can enhance spiritual pressure, and the other is restoring his past life's fighting power.

As a State Alchemist in his previous life, Ichiro's combat strength was naturally not weak, and could even be described as strong. Although his alchemy skills were not high, his combat strength was among the best in the country!

Although he might not even be as good as a top-ranking official in the Bleach world, he is at least stronger than him now and has some ability to protect himself. Unfortunately, due to the differences between the two worlds, there are too many things that need to be adjusted. Moreover, because he lacks knowledge of this world, even after decades, there has not been much progress in this area.

Seeing this, Urahara, who had originally wanted Ichiro to join them in training, was relieved, smiled, and turned around to begin his white-handed training with Yoruichi.

And so, the dojo classroom was divided into three parts: students learning the basics of sparring, students practicing sparring, and Ichiro squatting in a corner with a tree branch, silently calculating.

Yamada frowned when he caught a glimpse of this scene, but said nothing and continued to teach the other students the basics.

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

Time flew by, and the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Yamada.

Yamada didn't waste any words, nodded and said directly, "get out of class dismissed. Tenshin Ichiro stays, everyone else, dismissed."

Everyone in Class 3 was stunned for a moment. Except for Yoruichi Urahara, the rest of them looked at Ichiro with a hint of schadenfreude, as if they were watching a good show.

Yamada glanced at them without saying a word, then walked to the middle of the dojo classroom and looked at Ichiro: "Come on, I'll be your opponent. Did you slack off in class just now?"

“Um… teacher, there’s a reason for that, it’s because…”

"This has nothing to do with me, keep practicing!"

"Fine..." Ichiro reluctantly walked over. The idea of ​​the class going overtime was a nightmare!

"Let me make this clear beforehand: if you lie to avoid being lazy, I'll show you what despair is in the lessons to come!" Yamada said to Ichiro in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yamada." With that, Ichiro leaned slightly forward, tucking his right fist into his abdomen and placing his left hand in a chopstick shape in front of him.

This was his usual starting stance from his previous life. Ichiro's standard movement made Yamada's eyes light up, indicating that he was indeed not lying.

Without saying much, Yamada gently waved his hand, signaling Ichiro to make the first move.

'A cricket the size of a flax stalk, how dare it look down on me?'

------------

Chapter Four: Absolute Rational Fighting Techniques!

As Yamada moved, Ichiro's eyes changed, all his emotions vanished instantly, and at the same time, all the muscles in his body tensed up!

"puff!"

With a swift movement, Ichiro threw a punch at the storefront.

'What's with this guy's eyes...? And the force is incredible!' Looking at Ichiro's expression behind the fist, Yamada was somewhat shocked. He was completely different from before!

But because of this, Yamada became more cautious, because this kind of person was never a kind soul...

Absolute rationality, a form of self-suggestion, is a self-hypnosis technique that Ichiro developed after becoming a State Alchemist, based on some forbidden knowledge.

A person who enters this state will enter a state of absolute calm. Throughout the entire process, there is only one thought. For the sake of this thought, all other people and things can be abandoned or given up. Therefore, it is also called "one thought" by some schools of thought.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Historically, many people have killed their relatives and friends and done many regrettable things while carrying out missions because they used similar forbidden techniques. It can be said to be the most forbidden technique among forbidden techniques.

The reason this tactic is so difficult to eradicate lies in another characteristic...

Super powerful!

The human body normally uses only 30% to 40% of its muscle strength, because exceeding this threshold can damage the body. Although this percentage can be increased through scientific training, it is difficult and the effect is limited.

Absolute rationality will remove this limitation and unleash its full power!

This is a perfect match for some alchemists who are skilled in human transmutation (which only involves the physical body)!

Although Ichiro wasn't very skilled at human transmutation, he had his own methods to solve this problem, and now it was even simpler—he could just use spiritual energy to protect himself, although it wasn't very long-lasting.

"laugh!"

With his right fist blocked, Ichiro slid his left hand along the way, and his hand blade cut a tear in Yamada's shihaka uniform, revealing the white undershirt underneath.

Before Yamada could even react in surprise, Ichiro launched another attack. Ichiro spun around and struck Yamada with his right elbow!

"The transitions were good, but the movements were too exaggerated..."

"Pfft~ Crack!"

However, Yamada had barely finished speaking when his expression changed instantly with a crisp sound. He immediately used Shunpo to create distance between himself and Ichiro, placing his left hand on his trembling right hand!

It cracked!

The bones in his right forearm cracked from taking the blow head-on!

"Am I seeing things? Mr. Yamada...is injured?"

"I saw it too... Are you kidding me? A freshman, injured the teacher?"

"..."

"Yoruichi, that just now..." Urahara narrowed his eyes, his expression slightly grave.

"Yes, concentrating spiritual energy at a single point on the elbow to create immense lethality, including that hand chop, and the subsequent moves he hasn't used yet—all of these are techniques developed specifically for killing!"

Yoruichi frowned and nodded. This was an even more ruthless technique than the Shihouin family's Hakuda, completely using one's own body as a weapon and disregarding its wear and tear!

Yamada, on the other side, naturally noticed this as well. He frowned and called a halt to the sparring, not because of his injuries. Although his strength was not great, it was not bad either. If he were serious, he could take Ichiro's attack head-on without any injury.

What he was worried about was Ichiro.

Given Ichiro's current physical condition, if he continues fighting, things will definitely go wrong!

Upon hearing Yamada's command, emotions returned, and feelings prevailed over reason. Looking at Yamada's still trembling hands, Ichiro's lips twitched, and he bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

"Teacher, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"I'm fine, but do you know that your fighting style has serious side effects? Spiritual power isn't omnipotent. You can withstand it now, but you won't be able to later!"
