The Alchemist in Bleach

Ichigo looked at Rukia with pity. In this world, nothing is more heartbreaking than the disproportionate relationship between effort and reward…

However, he also came to understand to some extent how terrifying Tenshin Ichiro was.

"By the way, why doesn't he acknowledge you as his disciple? He clearly cares about you so much."

"Well, that's probably because of our master-disciple relationship." Rukia's mood improved noticeably when she mentioned this, and she continued eating her rabbit bento.

"Master-disciple relationship?"

"Yes, my master has never acknowledged him as her disciple." Rukia's lips curled into a pleasant smile as she spoke of this.

"Why? Didn't you say your teacher is the strongest in Soul Society? You should be very proud to have such a disciple, right? Just average."

"This is because my master's greatest pride was in swordsmanship. She devoted almost all her energy to it in the first half of her life. However, my teacher's swordsmanship was terrible, even worse than mine. So my master never recognized him as her disciple. So, it can be considered a continuation of the tradition by having me as his disciple."

'Huh? Not good at swordsmanship? Didn't you just say swordsmanship training? Did I hear that right?' Ichigo paused for a moment, suddenly realizing the key point, but unfortunately, he inexplicably overlooked it and started asking Rukia about Shinigami and Hollows. After all, it would be a real battle, unlike his usual frivolous encounters, so he had to take it seriously.

.......

Meanwhile, as Ichiro and Rukia met on the rooftop, Aizen also summoned the Espada who were still on duty at Las Noches: Kamui (Espada 20), Barragan (Espada 30), Ulquiorra (Espada 50), and Nicholas (Espada 90), who was actually Ichiro in disguise.

"A fake body?" Nicholas raised an eyebrow as he looked at Aizen on the throne.

"I'm a bit tied up in Soul Society, so I've summoned you here to ask you something. There are several powerful spiritual pressure reactions in Karakura Town in the human world. Did you do that?"

The group exchanged glances and then shook their heads.

"Is that so? How interesting. It seems someone is getting restless and ready to make a move. Well then, let's get involved and stir things up completely!" Aizen's lips curled into a smile.

"Who among you is interested in making the trip? Nicholas, are you going?"

"Are there any strong individuals?" Nicholas asked lazily, leaning against a pillar.

"Yes, very strong, possibly even stronger than me~"

"Oh? Really?" A glint flashed in Nicholas's eyes, and he immediately stood up straight, staring intently at Aizen. "Who is it?"

"Team Thirteen's God Hand - Tenshin Ichiro!"

Upon hearing this, Kamui paused for a moment, glanced at Nicholas with a puzzled look, and frowned slightly.

Noticing Kamui's gaze, Nicholas replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Kamui, I'll go easy on you!"

"You should think about how to survive first," Kamui said coldly, pursing his lips.

"Don't underestimate Nicholas, he's very strong. Uruciola, you go with Nicholas."

"Yes, Lord Aizen."

"Hmph~" Nicholas snorted disdainfully, seemingly unconcerned about Aizen's words. However, everyone could sense from the highly concentrated spiritual pressure emanating from him that this guy wasn't truly indifferent; he was just saying it.

"You must be very careful in this operation. Karakura Town in the human world is a dangerous place. Besides Tenshin Ichiro, there are five or six captain-level Shinigami stationed there for a long time, and they are all in their complete form without suppressing their spiritual pressure. In addition, Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, is also very likely in Karakura Town. You must be careful!"

Uruciola nodded with a somewhat solemn expression. This lineup was indeed very dangerous!

"Don't worry, I, Nicholas, never fight a battle unprepared!"

"..." Aizen looked at Nicholas speechlessly; this warmonger was exactly what he was worried about...

After listening to Aizen's explanation, Nicholas and Ulquiorra left Hueco Mundo together and headed to the human world.

'The aura is real, so he really isn't Tenshin Ichiro? Perhaps I'm just overthinking things?' After Nicholas and Ulquiorra left, Aizen sat alone on the throne, watching Ichiro scolding Rukia in the scene, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, even the wisest can make a mistake. Aizen, focused on Ichiro, failed to notice that Sekai, one of the Fourth Division members, seemed rather indifferent today...

Soul Society, Seireitei, Central 46 Chambers

"World, please." The guard outside the forty-sixth room bowed slightly and gestured to World, who had just returned from the mortal world, indicating that she could enter.

"Heavenly Heart World, is there anything you need to repay?" the presiding judge asked in a calm tone.

"There's something I want to show you." Before anyone could speak, Shijie smiled and held up a necklace adorned with purple gemstones.

Just as everyone was wondering, a purple light instantly illuminated the entire conference room. Instantly, the eyes of the sage and the judge behind the screen became dull and lifeless, devoid of any brilliance.

"who am I?"

"The world of Tenshin Ichiro... Tenshin Ichiro's Zanpakuto..."

"No, I am Tenshin Ichiro."

"Yes, you are Tenshin Ichiro."

Am I male or female?

“Woman..…” X n

"No, I'm a man."

"Yes, you're a man..." X n

After a series of tests, World's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, these guys were weak and couldn't withstand the necklace enhanced by the power of the Infinity Stones. After a brief pause, World got down to business.

"Afterwards, Rukia, the lieutenant of the 13th Division, will be sentenced to death for unauthorizedly granting the power of a Shinigami to a human."

"Yes...we will sentence her to death..."

“From now on, whatever happens in the Great Book of Spirits corridor, you will ignore it.”

“Yes…we will ignore it…”

"Next, all I have to do is crush this gem, and you will all wake up, then carry out the orders I just gave you, and let me leave the conference room."

"Yes...we will wake up...we will carry out..."

"Crack~"

With a slight clench of her hand, the purple gemstone on the necklace shattered instantly, and the gleam in the eyes of the many sages and judges in the conference room returned, their gazes no longer dull.

"We understand. You may leave." The head judge, as if knowing exactly what the world was there to do, nodded and dismissed her. The other sages showed no reaction, as if it were perfectly normal...

With a smile on his face, he bowed slightly and respectfully withdrew from the Central 46th Chamber, heading towards the Fourth Division under the watchful eyes of the guards.

"Take care, Lord World." The guard bowed slightly, unaware that Yue Ling was brushing past him.

Entering the Central Chamber 46, the remaining sages were having a heated discussion about how to deal with the Quincy. This had been a regular occurrence for the past few years. Every day, they would use this topic to ostensibly discuss the Quincy, but in reality, they were secretly distributing benefits. This had always been their practice. Otherwise, the Seireitei was such a small place, where would they have so many things to discuss?

Yue Ling was quite familiar with this. The sages ignored Yue Ling as she entered, and Yue Ling ignored them as well. She walked smoothly to the entrance of the Great Spirit Book Corridor, turned her head slightly to sense their mental state, and then crossed her hands in front of her, forming a complex set of hand seals. A large number of ghostly characters were embedded into the door of the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

After a while, as the last ghostly scripture disappeared, the gate of the Great Spirit Book Corridor slowly opened amidst a series of clicking sounds.

Yue Ling did not enter immediately. Instead, she glanced back at the many sages and saw that they were still engaged in heated discussion with normal expressions. Only then did Yue Ling step into the Great Spirit Book Corridor and close the door at the same time.

Modern World, Karakura Town, Karakura First Junior High School, 3 PM

At this moment, Ichigo was listening attentively to the lesson. Yes, he was listening attentively.

Although he has blond hair, fights often, and has a fierce look in his eyes, Ichigo Kurosaki is actually a studious and good student, ranking in the top 20 of his grade in exams.

"Crack~"

Just then, a note landed on his desk. Ichigo was startled, glanced at Rukia who was silently gesturing for him to open the note, put down his pen, opened the note, and then frowned.

This is.......

What?

Ichigo stared blankly at the three rabbits above him. He could understand the rabbit with the knife; it was probably him. He could also understand the rabbit with the mask and a hole in its chest; it was probably a Hollow. But he couldn't figure out who the rabbit wearing gloves was, or why there was a bed next to it.

Oh, no, there are four rabbits, and there's one lying on the bed.

"Hiss~~~" Looking at this earth-shattering feat, Ichigo gasped. At first glance, Ichigo felt that he was being asked to fight Hollows, which was exactly what they had discussed at noon. But upon closer inspection, he could find many details and felt that it was not as simple as just killing Hollows.

Ichigo spread the note on the table, crossed his arms, and began to ponder deeply: what exactly did Rukia want to say to him?

Could it be that we need to save someone? Does Death even care about that?

Rukia, on the other hand, frowned as she looked at Ichigo, who was deep in thought, somewhat annoyed. What was this guy doing? Couldn't he even see such a simple meaning? Why wasn't he taking action?

Rukia glanced at the time and realized she was running out of time. On a whim, she grabbed an eraser from the table and smashed it hard against Ichigo's head as the teacher turned away!

"what!"

Lost in thought, Ichigo didn't react in time and was hit on the head by the eraser. He instinctively cried out, drawing the attention of the entire class.

"Kurosaki-kun, what's wrong?" The teacher turned around and asked in surprise. In his memory, although Kurosaki looked like a delinquent and often fought with delinquents, he was an excellent student, good at sports, and always willing to help others. Therefore, he had a pretty good impression of Ichigo. In his memory, Ichigo was not the kind of child who would cause trouble in class.

"Ah, teacher, my cousin Ichigo isn't feeling well. I'll go with him to the infirmary." Rukia stood up and replied before Ichigo could answer.

"Really? Then go see a doctor quickly, don't get sick."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

And so, Rukia pulled a completely bewildered Ichigo out of the classroom.

However, while Rukia could fool the teacher, she couldn't fool some of her classmates. Seeing the two of them leave the classroom so easily, the two of them exchanged a knowing smile.

"Ah~ Teacher, my stomach..."

"Xiao Jing! Class is in session! Be quiet!"

"oh........"

Skipping class plan, failed!

Chapter 321 Yhwach: Then, you can help me in another way~

"Hey! Why did we suddenly come to the infirmary?" Inside the infirmary, Ichigo shook off Rukia's hand and asked with a frown, "And what was the meaning of that note you wrote?"

"A void has appeared, let's fight!"

"???"

Are you on the first floor?

Ichigo stared at Rukia in disbelief. So much information, and this was all it conveyed?

What does the bed and the person on it mean?

“Come to the infirmary. When you become a Grim Reaper, your body needs a place to be placed, so of course the infirmary is the only place,” Rukia said matter-of-factly.
