I Am a Heroic Spirit

"He is the strongest person in the current government." Xiaoyu pointed out the mistake in Jintai's words weakly.

"Do you need to tell me this? Don't I know it?" Jin Tai punched Xiaoyu on the head, but was stopped in time by Wu Ling Tie Zhai.

Wuling Tessai said, "Just like Xiaoyu said, you should know that other than the cities around Karakura Town, there are very few signs of Hollows in other cities. It's as if they were cleared out before the Hollows appeared. However, this is absolutely impossible for the current government to achieve alone. This can only mean that there are entities like the Soul Society in other cities, which are superior to the human government. That person is likely a member of some other non-governmental force."

At this time, the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town finally arrived, but it was not Rukia. At this time, Rukia had not yet come to the world. It was an ordinary middle-aged Shinigami with very weak strength. He should be similar to Rukia, both ordinary Shinigami without a seat.

"Hey! Man over there, who are you?"

The middle-aged Grim Reaper looked at Diarmuid, who was shot to pieces by a single shot, and felt the oppression coming from him, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

The pressure this person brought to him was the same as facing other captains, but he knew every captain in Soul Society, and the person in front of him was definitely not one of them.

"A Shinigami from Soul Society?"

After Diarmuid killed the last Hollow, he turned and looked at the middle-aged Grim Reaper who was coming over.

"Yes, I am the Shinigami sent by Soul Society's 13th Division to garrison Karakura Town." The middle-aged Shinigami was already on edge. Although the other party did not show any hostility, this captain-level strong man of unknown origin made him extremely nervous just standing face to face with him.

"I'm Diarmuid, just a passing heroic spirit." Diarmuid glanced around as he spoke. The passersby who had not had time to escape but still survived were standing not far away, looking at him. It looked like they wanted to come over to him and express their gratitude, but they didn't dare to come over because of their powerful strength.

"I have something else to do, so I'll say goodbye here."

Diarmuid calculated the time and saw that class was about to start in two or three minutes. He didn't have the energy to say anything to this supporting role, the Grim Reaper, so he just transformed into a spirit and left.

Chapter 14 Urahara Kisuke's Thoughts

Zhang Luo exited the transformed form in the school toilet, and then summoned the system panel. There had been system prompts during the battle before, but he only had time to check it now.

"It's really scary, the number of people in this world."

Zhang Luo consciously ignored the achievement requirements at the end, took a quick look, and left the toilet. He didn't intend to draw cards in such a place.

After walking up to the rooftop, Zhang Luo greeted Arisawa Ryuki, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Inoue Orihime. Before Zhang Luo could get closer, the bell for class suddenly rang. Zhang Luo had to turn around and go downstairs with the three of them.

Walking in the corridor, Arisawa Ryuki gave Zhang Luo a look, then slowed down, and Zhang Luo also walked slower.

Zhang Luo approached Youze Longgui and asked quietly, "What's wrong, Longgui?"

Arisawa Ryuki also lowered his voice and asked stealthily, "What was that monster just now?"

Zhang Luo asked back, "What monster?"

Seeing Zhang Luo pretending to be stupid, Arisawa Ryuki glared at him angrily and said, "Don't try to fool me. It seemed that only Ichigo and I heard the roar just now, but I noticed a change in your expression. Ichigo has been able to see things that others can't see since he was a child. I also practiced the meditation method you taught me and can hear sounds that Orihime can't hear. So the thing roaring must be some unscientific monster. If I can hear it, there's no way you can't hear it, especially since you winked at me. You went out just now to meet that monster."

Arisawa Ryuki's words were very affirmative, and Zhang Luo also smiled a little.

"That's a good analysis. The monster just now is called a Hollow, a kind of evil spirit. There are two levels of Hollows: ordinary Hollows and Great Hollows. Great Hollows are further divided into low-level Great Hollows: Killian, intermediate Great Hollows: Achukas, and high-level Great Hollows: Vastold. Those just now were dozens of ordinary Hollows. But when I arrived, those Hollows were killed by a man dressed as a knight with dual guns."

"Xu? Since Xu exists, then there must be someone who can kill Xu?"

Although it was a question, Arisawa Ryuki's words were very affirmative.

"What are you talking about? Class has already started, hurry up."

Zhang Luo was about to speak when he saw Ichigo Kurosaki, who had noticed that the two of them were some distance behind, turned around and shouted loudly.

"I'm coming." Zhang Luo responded, then turned and whispered to Youze Longgui, "Let's talk after school."

"Ah."

Arisawa Ryuki responded and quickened his pace to catch up with Zhang Luo.

-

As soon as Diarmuid left, the middle-aged Shinigami breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out the messenger machine, reporting that a captain-level spirit had appeared in the world. This major event must be reported to the Soul Society immediately.

"Hi."

Just as the middle-aged Grim Reaper was about to open the messenger machine, he suddenly felt someone patting him on the back and hearing a familiar voice greeting him. The middle-aged Grim Reaper subconsciously turned his head to look, and then lost consciousness.

Only two seconds had passed before the middle-aged Grim Reaper regained consciousness.

"Has it been defeated by the foreign psychic? I guess I need to speed up next time."

The middle-aged Grim Reaper shook his head, glanced around, muttered a few words, then turned and left.

"Manager, why are you here? And why are you using the Divine Machine on that Death God?"

Jinta was a little surprised that Kisuke Urahara would suddenly appear and attack the Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town.

"I sensed a captain-level spiritual pressure emerging, so I came to take a look," Urahara Kisuke, who suddenly appeared, covered his chin with a small folding fan in his hand, revealing only half of his face, and whispered, "As for that Shinigami, it's better not to let Soul Society know about the appearance of a captain-level special spirit."

After all, the Soul Society is too arrogant. Since the first contact between the Soul Society and the human government five years ago, four years ago, during the negotiations with the greedy human government hoping to gain some benefits, the Soul Society found that no matter in terms of technology or individual soldier capabilities, the human government of the world was completely crushed by them. Since then, they have really regarded themselves as gods and viewed the weak human government.

If Soul Society were to gain access to information about that unique spirit known as a Heroic Spirit, they would undoubtedly capture it and send it to Division 12 for research. As for whether this would provoke a powerful enemy—how could that be possible? The thought that a force in the real world would dare to oppose Soul Society was a response to this.

But he could not sit idly by and watch this matter. Having lived in the real world for many years, he knew some things better than the Soul Society, for example: Japan is not the only country in the real world, it is only one of the 224 countries in this world; Japan is not a country with an area of ​​only a dozen cities, but an area a hundred times that amount; Japan's technological development in the past four years has been stimulated beyond imagination. In addition, the technological power mastered by the Japanese government may not necessarily be among the top three among the major forces in Japan, and the strongest person that the Japanese government can serve may not be among the top 100 among the countless strong people in Japan.

Once the Soul Society is in turmoil due to provoking a powerful enemy, it will certainly disrupt Aizen's secret plans, but he will never let go of this good opportunity.

"By the way, Tessai," Urahara Kisuke patted his folding fan, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Wuling Tessai, "Yoichi-san is back. Go buy some food and make something sumptuous tonight to celebrate Yoichi's first return in four years."

"Mr. Yoruichi is back?" Wuling Tessai asked in surprise. Ever since Yoruichi said four years ago that the world is so big and I want to go see it, he disappeared. Although he would contact Urahara Kisuke once every one or two months through ghost magic, he never came back. "Then I'm going to buy groceries now. Xiaoyu, Jinta, you two go back first."

"Ok."

Chapter 15 Societies

After Wuling Tessai, Xiaoyu and Jinta left, Urahara Kisuke held up his hat, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the ground. When he appeared again, he was already on a big tree in the campus.

"Huh? That's interesting."

Kisuke Urahara, who had hidden his figure, stood on a branch of a big tree, his eyes cast towards the classroom with the strongest spiritual pressure. Looking through the classroom window, he saw Ryuki Arisawa, who was an ordinary person a month ago. Although the spiritual pressure emanating from his body was stronger than that of ordinary people, it was not much stronger. At this time, the spiritual pressure he emitted was almost catching up with Ichigo Kurosaki, as if the spiritual power hidden deep in his soul had been developed.

Urahara Kisuke frowned and turned his gaze to the person with the highest concentration of spiritual power in the classroom, with a gleam in his eyes.

The spiritual pressure is almost beyond the limit of normal humans. This is not something that ordinary people can possess. Could it be an Onmyoji or an exorcist?

After thinking for a moment with his head down, Urahara Kisuke felt that this might not be a bad thing. With this classmate who was suspected to be a psychic, Ichigo Kurosaki's safety could be initially guaranteed, and it could also be used to attract the attention of those who were interested. Perhaps in the future, Ichigo Kurosaki could get some help from his friendship with this classmate.

"Aizen..."

Looking up, Urahara Kisuke once again had a cynical smile on his face. He glanced at Ichigo Kurosaki, Ryuki Arisawa and Zhang Luo, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in the school.

In the classroom, Zhang Luo looked out of the window in confusion. He glanced around outside and didn't find anything unusual, so he looked away.

"I clearly feel like someone is looking at me, but why is there no one?"

Zhang Luo muttered to himself. Relying on the perception ability brought by meditation, Zhang Luo clearly felt that someone was looking at him, but when Zhang Luo looked for him, he couldn't find it.

Zhang Luo didn't think it was an illusion, because the gaze was too obvious, without any intention of hiding, and it was very close, probably within five meters, otherwise he would not have been able to sense it.

"Could it be Urahara Kisuke? Or Shunshin Yoruichi?"

Zhang Luo glanced at Ichigo Kurosaki and Ryuki Arisawa. Suddenly, there were two beings with strong spiritual power concentration. Even the Hollows were attracted here. It was normal for Kisuke Urahara and others to come and check it out.

Thinking of the look he had received before, Zhang Luo was certain that he had been targeted.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Luo decided not to think too much. With his current ability, it would be useless to think too much. Urahara Kisuke and Shunshin Yoruichi were not easy to deal with. Their strength was also among the best among the Shinigami captains. Coupled with a former Ghost Path Master, Gorin Tessai, he would be sure of victory only if he had three silver cards or six or seven bronze cards. What's more, they might not necessarily become enemies, so there was no need to worry too much. He just needed to improve his strength this year.

School ends very early in the afternoon in Japan. The bell for the end of get out of class, which is also the bell for the end of school, rings before three o'clock.

Zhang Luo sat in his seat, looking at a club application form on the table. The girl standing in front of him was the class monitor Kitada Chiba.

The words "Do you want to go home after school?" went around Zhang Luo's lips, but he swallowed them.

"Student Qin Luo, haven't you thought about it yet?"

Kitada Chiba asked nervously. Faced with a top student of this level, other students were unwilling to come and handle the club application process, so she naturally wasn't very willing to do so either. However, her duty as the class monitor forced her to come.

"Hmm..." Zhang Luo looked at the list of clubs on another form and was a little hesitant. For Zhang Luo, who had mild sexual decision-making difficulty, it was difficult for him to make decisions on some not-so-important things.

"Brother Luo," in another corner of the classroom, Arisawa Ryuki came over after packing up his things. He picked up the form in front of Zhang Luo and took a look. "It's about clubs. Choose the karate club. Orihime and I are both in the karate club."

"Karate club?"

Zhang Luo hesitated for a moment. It would be nice to learn some combat skills. After all, in this chaotic world, close combat is inevitable. But as for karate, he didn't have any weapons. Would he have to fight the zombies with his bare hands? Forget it.

Zhang Luo glanced at the club list again, and his gaze suddenly stopped and fixed on the Gunnery Club.

An inexplicable feeling drove Zhang Luo to choose this club. Was it because of his previous transformation into Diarmuid?

"No, I still prefer using weapons, so let's go to the Gun Club."

Zhang Luo finally decided to go with his gut feeling.

"Ok."

Arisawa Ryuki curled his lips and said with some disappointment.

After filling out the club application form, Zhang Luo went to the dojo where the gunfight club was located alone, while Arisawa Ryuki went to the karate club.

“There aren’t many people.”

Standing outside the Gunjutsu Club's gym, Zhang Luo looked at the members who were training inside and whispered.

I saw that there were only about twenty members in the entire club, which was less than other clubs. Is it because gunfighting is not very popular in Japan?

"Knock, knock, knock," Zhang Luo knocked on the door next to him, then said loudly, "Excuse me, who is the president? I'm here to join the gunmanship club."

An ordinary-looking boy stepped out from the crowd of trainees and walked towards Zhang Luo. He looked him over and asked, "Are you here to join the Gunfight Club? You should have applied a month ago. Why are you here only now?"

"I'm a transfer student, Qin Luo from Class 4, Grade 3. I just started class today," Zhang Luo said as he took out the club application form and handed it to the boy.

The boy looked at Zhang Luo and didn't reach out to take the club application form that Zhang Luo handed him. Instead, he said, "If you want to join the Gunfight Club, you need to pass my test."

"Test?" Zhang Luo asked puzzledly.

"Test? What test? President, when did our spearmanship club have such a rule?"

"Yes, President, there weren't so many rules when we joined the club before."

When the members of the Gunfight Club who were training heard the boys mention the test, they all started to complain. They already had few members, and no one had joined this year. They finally got one, so why were they putting on a test now? How would they recruit in the future? And they hadn't had such a test before. Could it be that they were jealous of the other guy's good looks and were using it to make things difficult for him?

Zhang Luo also thought of what the other members had thought of. Why did he have a test that no one else had? Could it be that he was deliberately making things difficult for them? But he didn't seem to have seen this person before.

Chapter 16: Gunfight

"Hmph!" The president snorted angrily, turned his head in dissatisfaction to look at the members who were talking, and shouted, "Be quiet."

Seeing that the president seemed angry, the members didn't dare to say anything and their voices gradually faded.

After the gym had completely quieted down, the president spoke sternly, "You must hold your gun in my hands for at least five minutes without collapsing. I only established this test this year. Over the past two years, our Gunfight Club has been getting weaker and weaker. We always place last in the Junior High School Gunfight Competition at the end of September every year. This is because we haven't conducted any assessments when recruiting members in the past. As a result, some members with no knowledge of gunfighting have joined our club. Even if they train for a long time, they can't catch up with those with a basic foundation in gunfighting... So, starting with this class, I'm going to strengthen the assessment of new members! We'll strive for a good ranking in the competition in three months. Of course, if you want to join the Gunfight Club but don't want to take the test, that's fine. I'll graduate this year, and next year you can do whatever you want. But this year, while I'm still the club president, you must follow this rule every day."

Following the president's stern voice, many members lowered their heads and their faces turned red, because although the president did not mention any names, he was talking about them.

After saying that, the president turned to look at Zhang Luo and asked seriously, "So, are you willing to accept the test and join our Gunfight Club?"

"Of course." Zhang Luo nodded. As long as it wasn't directed at him, it was fine.

After the two entered the gym, the members dispersed to make room for them.

In the open space in the middle of the gym, Zhang Luo stood nonchalantly aside, while the president went to the weapon rack nearby to get two long rifles. Just as he was about to come over, Zhang Luo suddenly said, "Wait a minute, please bring me two guns, one long and one short."

The president was obviously stunned, because gunmanship is not like swordsmanship where there is a double-sword style. Very few people, no, it should be that there is no such thing as double-sword style in the whole of Japan.

But since Zhang Luo had said so, the president didn't refuse, nor did he say anything. If he was just trying to attract attention, he wouldn't be the one to be embarrassed. If he really had special abilities, it would be a good thing for the Gun Art Club, so there was no need to say anything in advance.

The president walked over with his own gun in one hand and a pair of guns, one long and one short, in the other. He stood at his position and threw the two guns at Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo stretched out his hands smoothly and grabbed the two guns that fell from the air. Then he spun his hands back and took a peculiar fighting posture. The two guns spread out at his sides like wings, protecting both sides of his body.

"Hmm? That's interesting."

The president was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face. Although it was impossible to tell which style this fighting posture belonged to, just looking at the smooth movements, it could be seen that this newcomer had some basic skills.

Zhang Luo was also stunned. Firstly, his reaction just now was completely subconscious. Before he could come to his senses, the two guns were already in his hands. Second, he was very familiar with this fighting posture. It was clearly Diarmuid's gun technique.

The president asked, "Are you ready? I'm going to attack."
