Death: So I am a Quincy

"But Rukia, does your Sode no Shirayuki have any other moves? I only saw the first dance and the second dance. If it's these two moves, they shouldn't be considered as the ultimate move."

"I do have a move called Three Dances: White Blade, which is a winning move. But Three Dances consumes too much spiritual energy, and I won't use it unless I'm sure I'll hit you." Rukia sighed. Amamiya's Zanpakutō does restrain him, and it would be great if his Sode no Shirayuki could generate ice unconditionally like Captain Hitsugaya.

"Rukia, did you see me use my Zanpakuto ability?" asked Amemiya.

"Your ability of Divine Arrow Absolute Thoughts? Isn't it just using spiritual power to form an arrow, and then performing secondary operations on the arrow?" Rukia was puzzled. Amemiya had done the same in the two previous releases.

"That's just the ability to use spiritual energy. Forming arrows and manipulating and changing arrows are not the real abilities of my Zanpakuto." Amemiya explained.

"What? All you have been using so far are just basic operations?" Rukia said in shock.

"I want to tell you that no matter who you are facing, don't reveal all your abilities. Before completely defeating the opponent, you must not let the other party know your strengths and weaknesses." Amemiya decided to tell her. After all, Rukia is not the only one who has this bad habit. Information is a very important part of the battle.

"Actually..." This was the first time Rukia heard someone talk about this to her.

"Have you heard about Captain Ukitake's Zanpakuto abilities, and Captain Kyōraku's as well?" Amemiya asked.

"Captain Ukitake, Captain Ukitake's Zanpakuto..." Rukia fell into deep thought. It was true that Captain Ukitake had been the captain for such a long time, but the ability of his Zanpakuto was little known.

"That's because Captain Ukitake is ill, so he doesn't fight as much."

"So what about Captain Kyōraku? What about the other captains?"

"Hmm... No, Captain Aizen is happy to tell others about the power of his Zanpakutō. He even demonstrated the Shikai for us himself."

Amemiya has a headache, only Aizen would be so generous to tell others about his Shikai ability, because it is fake. Amemiya has to persuade Rukia's straightforward personality.

"Captain Aizen, let's not talk about that for now. In short, Rukia, don't reveal your Zanpakutō abilities to the enemy during battle. Keep your mouth shut until you are sure the enemy is not completely defeated. You see, wasn't it because I touched upon your Zanpakutō's abilities that you were unable to hit me this time?"

Rukia felt a little embarrassed after Amemiya revealed the truth.

"Stop nagging me. I get it. Really, it's obviously your Zanpakutō that restrains me."

"Besides, after all this talk, you still haven't mentioned the true power of your Zanpakutō."

"Well, you'll see it later." Amemiya laughed. He couldn't let Rukia know now. If Aizen heard it, he might give Amemiya special treatment. After all, his Zanpakutō was...

"So mysterious..." Rukia muttered, not quite convinced.

"It's still early, Rukia. Let's continue training. Through the battle just now, I have some ideas about your Zanpakutō. I can discuss them with you."

"My Sode no Shirayuki?" Rukia asked in confusion, holding her Zanpakutō, not knowing what Amamiya wanted to say. But her stomach made an inopportune rumble at this moment, and Rukia's expression changed rapidly.

Yu Gongdu stared at her without saying a word. "Why don't we eat first?" Yu Gongdu asked with a smile.

Rukia turned silently and walked towards her package.

Amemiya looked at her red ears with a smile and decided not to tease her any further.

Chapter 39: Green plum? Drop from the sky?

In the captain's room of the 6th Squad's barracks, Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the letter in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Resignation?" Kuchiki Byakuya looked at the vice-captain Gin Ginjiro in front of him. He was obviously doing a good job as the vice-captain, so why did he want to resign?

"The reason is." Kuchiki Byakuya asked calmly.

"Actually, Captain Kuchiki, you know, my dream is to create all kinds of glasses." Gin Ginjiro scratched his head, thinking that he would probably be taught a lesson by Byakuya Kuchiki again.

“Now that the store ‘Silver Dragonfly for Glasses’ is on track, I want to officially pursue my dream.”

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't say anything for a long time. His reason for resignation was a bit too ridiculous, but Ginjiro was a conscientious vice-captain, so it would be a bit unreasonable to refuse. Besides, as long as it complies with the rules, it is not impossible to agree to his request.

"I understand." Kuchiki Byakuya said. "But the Sixth Division cannot be without a vice-captain. You are the one who will recommend the vice-captain."

"Thank you so much, Captain Kuchiki." Gin Ginjiro said loudly. He didn't expect that he was not scolded this time, because he had been scolded many times when he worked part-time in an eyewear store before, but Byakuya Kuchiki only scolded him and did not stop him. He didn't expect that he would agree to him directly this time.

"Captain Kuchiki is indeed a good nobleman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Gin Ginjiro couldn't help but think that if it were any other noble, they would probably laugh at him. Gin Ginjiro dared to make such a request because he had known Byakuya Kuchiki for a long time and understood his nature.

"Don't worry, Captain Kuchiki. I had already selected a candidate for the vice-captain of the Sixth Division before bringing up this matter," Ginjiro assured, patting his chest.

"So who is the candidate?"

"The current sixth seat of the eleventh division is Abarai Renji," Ginjiro Gin said.

"Abarai Renji..." Byakuya Kuchiki knew this person. He was a childhood playmate of his adopted sister Rukia Kuchiki. They enrolled in the Maou Spiritual Academy together, but because of his outstanding talent in swordsmanship, he was assigned to the same class, while his adopted sister Rukia did not join him.

"His strength." Kuchiki Byakuya continued to ask. Even if he was his stepsister's childhood playmate, it couldn't be a reason to break the rules. He still had to see whether Abarai Renji was qualified to be the vice-captain.

"Captain Kuchiki, rest assured. I have already checked. Abarai Renji has already learned the Shikai. He is different from the battle maniacs in the 11th Division. Although he may make some stupid mistakes occasionally, he will have no problem handling team affairs as the vice-captain."

"Really?" After hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya decided to see for himself, "I will apply to the 11th Division and then test him. Let's see if he is qualified..."

In the 11th Division, inside the squad room, Abarai Renji was gasping for breath, lying on the ground unable to move.

"I say, Renji, you're so naive that you can't even materialize your Zanpakutō, and you want to start learning Bankai. Let's just leave it at that for today." Madarame waved his hand and walked out the door.

"Please wait a moment..." Abarai Renji looked at his respected senior and walked out directly, then lay on the ground weakly.

"Damn it, even the first step of Bankai training is so difficult." Abarai Renji couldn't help but think in frustration. "How can I surpass that man like this..."

The person that Abarai Renji wants to surpass is naturally Byakuya Kuchiki, but Byakuya Kuchiki has been the captain for many years and has already learned Bankai. His strength is unfathomable, which makes Abarai Renji feel powerless.

"But I can never give up!" Abarai Renji clenched his raised hands.

"Sir Abarai, the vice-captain of the Sixth Division seems to want to see you about something." A member of the Eleventh Division informed Abarai Renji.

"Mr. Gin Ginjiro?" Abarai Renji asked in confusion, but he still walked out of the 11th Division and prepared to look for him. The goggles on his head were also given by Gin Ginjiro, who also said a lot of things that he couldn't understand. He didn't know why he was looking for him now.

On the way, Abarai Renji was hurrying along in silence, but he heard a familiar voice that he had not heard for a long time. He looked towards the place where the voice came from, and finally saw Rukia whom he had not seen for a long time, but Rukia was talking to someone next to her at this moment.

"Idiot, it's not as easy as you say. My Sode no Shirayuki is not like your Zanpakuto, which can perform such delicate operations..." Rukia couldn't help but kick Amemiya after hearing his whimsical ideas.

"Hehe, don't say that, Rukia. It's better to give it a try. After all, your Sode no Shirayuki only has three moves so far, which is too few." Amemiya said.

"What did you say! I use these three moves day and night..." Rukia was about to get angry, but she noticed Abarai Renji in front of her who she hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately shut her mouth.

Abarai Renji opened his mouth but didn't know how to start. After all, he was the one who supported Rukia to become a noble, and he was also the one who alienated her after Rukia became a noble. How could he face Kuchiki Rukia now?

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, Amamiya spoke up: "This must be Mr. Abarai Renji."

Rukia Kuchiki turned to look at Amemiya Tsutomu, but she never expected that Amemiya Tsutomu would call out to Abarai Renji. Rukia herself was actually very embarrassed, meeting her childhood friend but not saying hello to him. Since she became a member of the Kuchiki family, she has never contacted him again.

"Hello, I'm Abarai Renji from the 11th Division, who are you?" Abarai Renji asked.

"I'm the new vice-captain of the 13th Division, Amemiya Tsutomu, as you can see." Amemiya Tsutomu turned sideways to reveal the vice-captain's epaulettes on his shoulders and introduced himself.

"As for this awkward member of our team, you should be old acquaintances, so there is no need for me to introduce him."

Amemiya pushed Kuchiki Rukia, but Rukia looked at Amemiya with embarrassment and anger. She knew she felt awkward, but it was still a bit embarrassing to have it said out loud.

"Hey, Rukia, how long are you going to be upset? Isn't he your cherished friend? Do you want to keep it the same as before?" Amemiya bent down and whispered in her ear.

At this moment, Abarai Renji stared at the two of them blankly, not knowing what to say, but his heart seemed to be even more empty.

Kuchiki Rukia took a deep breath and said, "Long time no see, Renji."

"Ah, yes, long time no see..." Abarai Renji said and then stopped talking. After a while, both of them remained silent. Abarai Renji found an excuse to leave, but he was not ready yet.

"Well, the vice-captain of the 6th Division is looking for me, so I'll be leaving first." Abarai Renji turned around and was about to leave.

Rukia opened her mouth to try to save the situation, but in the end, she said nothing. Seeing this, Amamiya patted Rukia on the back and said to her, "You've always wanted to prove your growth to Byakuya Kuchiki, so why are you hesitating in front of your former partner?"

Rukia touched her aching back and gave Amemiya a threatening look, as if to say: Just wait for me.

"Wait a minute Renji!"

Abarai Renji stopped and looked back at Kuchiki Rukia.

"I'm sorry, Renji!" Kuchiki Rukia said, "At that time... you supported me to become a noble, but I ran away and never contacted you again after that. I'm really sorry!"

Abarai Renji looked at Kuchiki Rukia, not believing what he heard. "What are you talking about, Rukia? It was me who pushed you to the nobility, who ignored you, who..." Abarai Renji thought, but he didn't say anything, instead he just answered blankly.

"Ah. Oh, oh."

"So, can you continue to be my partner?" Rukia asked with a smile.

"I..." Abarai Renji was extremely conflicted. He was clearly the culprit, so why did Kuchiki Rukia take the initiative to speak?

Finally, he managed to say something. "I have always...considered you, Rukia, as my best friend."

"Really? That's great, really...that's great." Rukia Kuchiki smiled with relief at this moment, it turned out that she had never lost this partner.

"See, it's better to just say it out. I really don't know what you were upset about before." Amemiya rubbed Rukia's short black hair hard and said to her with a smile.

"Du, you bastard, again and again..." Rukia's expression began to change at this moment, veins bulged on her face, and she turned back and kicked Amemiya Du hard in the stomach.

Amemiya immediately covered his stomach and squatted down. The force of this blow was far greater than before, and Amemiya was unable to recover. But judging from Rukia's expression, it seemed that she was still not satisfied and wanted to kick Amemiya again.

Amemiya quickly dodged and said to Rukia with a smile: "Don't try to hit me a second time with the same trick." He ran towards the 13th Squad's barracks.

"Stop right there!" Rukia was chasing after him, and only remembered Abarai Renji halfway through her run.

"I'm sorry, Renci, let's talk next time. I have more important things to do right now."

Abarai Renji looked at their departing backs, seeming a little lonely. Although Rukia seemed to have returned to her original appearance, the person standing next to her was no longer herself...

Chapter 40 The “Him” You Met

"Mr. Gin Ginjiro, what can I do for you?"

"Ah, Renji, you're finally here. It's actually a good thing that I'm looking for you. I plan to resign from the position of vice-captain, so I recommended you to our captain." Ginjiro Gin said.

"Deputy captain? Me?" Abarai Renji asked in surprise.

"That's right. You've already learned the Shikai, haven't you? I'm completely confident in letting you take over from me."

"How about it, do you want to come?" asked Gin Ginjiro.

Abarai Renji looked at the shoulder insignia of the vice-captain of the Sixth Division on Ginjiro's shoulder, thought of the man he had always wanted to surpass, and Amamiya Tsutomu, whom he had just met, and clenched his fists.

"Please let me try!" Abarai Renji said firmly.

"Then come with me. Captain Kuchiki is waiting for you..."

On the other side, inside the 13th Division.

Kotetsu Kiyone and Kotsubaki Sentaro finished all the team affairs and prepared to return to the team barracks to rest.

But they saw Amemiya Tsutomu running in front and Kuchiki Rukia chasing after them in anger from behind.

"Ah! Vice Captain Tou is not here to take care of team affairs today, but is accompanying Rukia again?"

"Again?"

"Yes, yes, come to think of it, I haven't told you yet, Sentaro." Kotetsu Kiyone's expression at this moment was very exaggerated.

"whats the matter?"

"Actually, the vice-captain asked for leave yesterday on the first day because of Rukia."

"Hey? Tell me in detail."

"When I found Vice Captain Tou yesterday, I discovered that he and Rukia had just returned to Squad 13, and..."

"and!"

"They held hands all the way to the door!"

"Ohhh! Could it be these two people?!"

"Hehe, I guess that's probably the case. Even if it's not, it's not bad either." Kotetsu said gossipingly.

"This is really amazing." Xiaochun Sentaro said with emotion. "Rukia used to be so depressed all day long, but now she seems to have fully recovered."

"Yes, it was only after the vice-captain came to the 13th Division that Rukia gradually came out of the haze."

"Ah, I can't stand it anymore. I must support these two people!" Kotetsu Qingyin said loudly, holding her cheeks.

"Idiot, we heard you!" When Sentaro Kotsubaki saw Rukia Kuchiki stop chasing, he hurriedly said to Kiyone Kotetsu.

"Ah..." At this moment, Kiyone Kotetsu also noticed that Rukia Kuchiki had stopped.

In the distance, Rukia Kuchiki was concentrating on chasing Amemiya Tsutomu, intending to kick him a few more times to vent her anger, but the increasingly loud voice of Kotetsu Kiyone made Rukia realize what they were discussing, so she quickly stopped.

"Uh, Rukia?" Amemiya looked at Rukia who was lowering her head, thinking that she was really angry, and slowly approached her.

Rukia kept her head down and didn't raise it until Amemiya approached. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Amemiya.

"You...idiot!" After saying that, she kicked Amemiya Tsutomu with all her strength. After kicking Amemiya Tsutomu away, she hurriedly left the scene, not wanting more people to see her.

"Ah, he's gone." Kotetsu Kiyone and Kotsubaki Sentaro came to Amemiya Tsutomu who was still lying on the ground.

"What did Vice Captain Du do? I won't help you." Kotetsu Qingyin said, "Vice Captain Du, you just became the vice captain and you want to get rid of team affairs."
