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

"Okay." Yoruichi Shihouin wouldn't believe their one-sided story, so she told her subordinates to stay alert and keep a close eye on these Shinigami.

Yoruichi Shihouin and the Onmitsukido brought the Suzuki Trading Company members, as well as several Shinigami from the 11th Division, back to Seireitei.

Seeing this formation, the Shinigami of the Eleventh Division knew that Suzuki Trading Company was in big trouble, so they didn't cause any trouble on the way.

The rest was to be handled by someone else. Yoruichi Shihouin thought about it and, since she had nothing better to do, decided to share some firsthand information with her teacher.

Yoruichi Shihouin immediately contacted Nanatsu Shikatri using her communication device: "Sensei, are you still at the Spirit Arts Academy? I've made an important discovery!"

A gentle voice came from the communication device: "I've also discovered some problems on my end, but I've encountered a few minor troubles."

Yoruichi Shihōin quickly asked, "What trouble have you encountered, teacher?"

"I killed someone at the Mizutani family's house."

On the other side, standing in a pool of blood, Shikatoshi Nanatsuki looked at the guards confronting him: "I cut down spirit corpses, but the guards in the noble street don't know about spirit corpses, which has caused some misunderstandings for them. They won't let me leave now."

"The Mizutani family?" Yoruichi Shihouin was somewhat surprised to see his teacher slashing someone in the noble district. "Teacher, please try not to get into a conflict with them, otherwise it will become more troublesome. I'm coming right away!"

Chapter 204 Home Visit

After arriving at the Mizutani residence in July, she noticed something was amiss—

The 'Hellish Voice' he carried actually reacted to the maid who opened the door!

July had come here specifically to find out about the students of the Reikaiin, but this situation made him certain that there was something fishy going on in the Mizutani family.

July and Mizutani Oto waited in the tea room for a while, and then a maid brought over a girl dressed in a beautiful kimono.

"Master Shikatori, please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality," the girl in the kimono said with a smile, glancing subtly at the two of their teacups.

"You're too kind, Mizutani-kun. I hope my sudden visit hasn't bothered you." July nodded gently.

In July, she used her spiritual sense to perceive the state of the 'Voice of Hell' and found that the spell within the 'Voice of Hell' was still in a state of detecting hellish spiritual particles.

There's something wrong with the girl in the kimono in front of me!

"I heard from the maid that Shikatori-sensei came to inquire about my squad assignment?" the kimono-clad girl asked, looking puzzled. "I remember writing down my squad assignment on my graduation registration form..."

"The Spirit Arts Academy's archives were clearing out redundant data recently, and your graduation registration forms were unfortunately lost. So we have to take advantage of the time before the start of the semester to replace the lost files." July casually made up an excuse while expanding her spiritual perception to observe the positions of the other people in the mansion.

"I see. I've been assigned to the Sixth Division now," the girl in the kimono said politely. "Thanks to the teachers' guidance, I was able to graduate smoothly."

“Your own efforts are also important,” July said gently.

He sensed that there were seventy or eighty people in the mansion, much more than he had expected.

The Mizutani family is a small to medium-sized noble family, and this is only one branch of the Mizutani family. There shouldn't be so many family members and servants.

However, judging from the spiritual pressure fluctuations, these people should not all be spirit remains.

According to the information he currently has, the spiritual pressure of the spirit remains has not yet reached the level of a seated official, but there is a person in the mansion whose spiritual pressure fluctuations have reached the level of a seated official.

The girl in the kimono picked up the tea set and poured two cups of hot tea for Shikatoshi Nanatsuki and Mizutani Oto: "Please have some tea."

“Mizutani-kun, I heard that you and Aoki-kun are engaged, and his home address is also listed here.” July took the teacup and continued, “His file is also missing, but I searched all over the Spirit Arts Academy and couldn’t find him anywhere.”

"Isn't Aoki in the dorm?" The girl in the kimono was slightly taken aback.

While she was distracted, July quickly poured the tea into her sleeve and pretended to drink it.

The girl in the kimono snapped out of her daze and saw that Shikatori Nanatsuki had finished her tea, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Please wait a moment, Master Shikatori. I'll have someone fetch him." The girl in the kimono got up and left the tea room.

A moment after the girl in the kimono left, Mizutani Oto felt dizzy.

Although Shichikagi stopped Mizutani Oto from drinking the tea poured by the maid before the girl in the kimono came in.

Before he could explain, the girl in the kimono entered.

July poured the tea so quickly that even Mizutani Oto, who was sitting next to her, didn't notice. She thought the teacher had already drunk the tea, so she drank the freshly poured tea as well.

Mizutani Oto fell backward and fainted.

"These spirit corpses really like using drugs to knock people out..." July thought to herself.

Back then, the execution of the Naiwu Gang was assassinated by Linghai in the same way. It's impossible that July wasn't on guard. The tea that Linghai offered must not be drunk.

After leaving the tea room, the girl in the kimono went to a room deep inside the mansion.

Inside the room, an elderly man with half-white hair sat in the center.

"What is he here for?" the old man asked in a hoarse voice.

"They said they came to fill out some files, but it doesn't matter what they are. Shikatori Nanatsuki has already drunk the tea," the girl in the kimono said softly. "He has a high reputation. If we can replace him, we can use his identity to do more things."

“I’ve heard that Shiro is quite powerful. If we use a spirit corpse to replace him, it will be easy to be exposed.” The old man was somewhat reluctant, feeling that this was a terrible operation that would be easy to expose.

"Make sure the spirit that's replacing him doesn't make a move as much as possible. Keep it a secret for as long as possible, and in the meantime, squeeze every last drop of value out of this identity." The kimono-clad girl's voice rose slightly. "Shikatori Nanatsuki is the captain of the swordsmanship club and has considerable power in the Spirit Arts Academy. We can use his identity to manipulate the entrance exams so we can place more spirits into the Spirit Arts Academy!"

"Moreover, the identities of his several graduates are not simple; several of them are executive officers or deputy captains!"

"If we make good use of Lu Quqiyue's identity, we can also replace all of his disciples..."

"Even the heir of the Shihouin family can..."

The old man shook his head, disagreeing with her statement: "The strength of the spirit remains is too weak. Using them to replace the Grim Reapers in those important positions would be too easy to expose."

"So what if we're exposed?" The girl in the kimono smiled slightly. "With these people's identities, we can do a lot of things before we're exposed. We can even use their identities to take action against those captains."

Just like when dealing with Shigeno Takeo, one can use the spirit of someone familiar to lower their guard.

The more captains they murder, the stronger Hell will become.

"It would be even better if we could take this opportunity to steal the spiritual research data from the Kiryu Laboratory, which would also make Miyamoto-sama's research go more smoothly," the girl in the kimono continued.

Since Bizhou's failure and exposure, the protection level of the Yifu Kiryu Laboratory has been greatly improved, and there has been no opportunity for the spirit skeleton to infiltrate the Yifu Kiryu Laboratory in the past few years.

Just then, the girl in the kimono saw the old man opposite her stare wide-eyed, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Be careful!" the old man warned.

The girl in the kimono quickly realized that the old man was looking behind her, and she was immediately alarmed.

But as soon as she turned around, she felt a sharp pain in her neck.

She looked down slightly and saw a syringe inserted into her neck, and the medicine inside the syringe had been injected into her artery.

“You seem to know quite a lot, so I can’t let you die.” July pulled out the syringe.

"How did you..."

A look of astonishment froze on the kimono-clad girl's face.

The next moment, the girl in the kimono felt an irresistible, intense drowsiness wash over her, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The anesthetic that can control spirit remains is not unique to Kiryuki Hikifune. He has been researching spirit remains in the laboratory for quite some time now, and he also has the means to control them.

After the girl in the kimono left the tea room, July immediately followed her and used her shadow ability to hide in her shadow to see what she was up to.

However, they discovered that she seemed to know information about Tetsuya Miyamoto, so they immediately took her down and prepared to take her to the prison team for a thorough interrogation.

"You're not a spirit corpse, are you? Why are you involved with spirit corpses?" July looked at the old man bound by shadows and asked slowly.

Chapter 205 Misunderstanding

In July, he sensed two Shinigami of the Seat Officer rank in the Mizutani family mansion, one of whom was the old man in front of him.

Therefore, he could confirm that the old man was not a spirit.

According to information obtained from his student Mizutani Oto, this old man should be Mizutani Oto's uncle—Mizutani Shingo, the head of the Mizutani family.

His strength as a seated officer was already considered to be above average in the entire Seireitei, and Shingo Mizutani was also the head of the Mizutani family.

July was quite curious as to why Mizutani Shingo, who was of considerable status and strength, would still collude with Linghai.

Instead of answering Shikamori Nanatsu's question, Mizutani Shingo shouted:

"Enemy attack!!!"

People inside the mansion were startled by Mizutani Shingo's loud shout and gathered in this direction.

Twenty armed guards surrounded the house.

"Did these guards give you confidence?" July frowned, somewhat worried about the students in the tea room. "Bankai, all forms are shadows."

The shadow space expanded rapidly, pulling the old man, the guards, the students in the tea room, and the unconscious spirit girl into it.

Within the shadow space, July was no longer afraid of them making any trouble.

“Shikatoshi Nanatsuki…you really have mastered Bankai!” Mizutani Shingo’s expression turned grave.

In July, during the disciples' early graduation assessment, he formally demonstrated Bankai, but did not reveal the full Bankai ability.

Although Shingo Mizutani was a retired Shinigami officer and not as well-informed as those still in office, he had heard a little about Nanatsu Shikatori's strength.

However, even though Shingo Mizutani already knew that Nanatsu Shikatori was exceptionally strong, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

During the time he colluded with Miyamoto Tetsuya, he murdered many Shinigami and souls with Shinigami potential. If he were caught, he would hardly escape death.

"Attack together!" Shingo Mizutani drew his Zanpakuto. "Devour, Masamaru!"

Shingo Mizutani's Zanpakuto is a rare biological type Zanpakuto. After being released, it turned into a giant toad that broke through the roof of a house.

Fortunately, July had the foresight to use Bankai in advance.

Two dark figures quickly led the students in the tea room and the unconscious spirit girl away from the toad.

Shingo Mizutani stood atop the head of a giant toad several meters tall, looking rather imposing.

On the other side, July drew a black blade from the dark ground.

In an instant, a streak of light swept across the shadow space.

The twenty spirit guards who rushed up felt a chill in their abdomens, followed by a sense of tilting and spinning in their vision.

puff--

Blood splattered everywhere, and the bodies of the twenty spirit guards were severed in two.

"what!!!"

The guards, whose remaining half-bodies did not die immediately, were still being sustained by the spiritual pressure within their bodies, but this only prolonged their suffering.

These spirit remains, which are only at the level of ordinary squad members, are nothing more than small fry that can be dealt with at will in front of July.

Then, Shingo Mizutani's giant toad also made a move.

It opened its enormous mouth, and a strong suction force came from the toad's mouth.

July was directly sucked into the toad's belly by the enormous suction force.

Inside the toad's abdomen is a space composed of fleshy walls.

Along with July, Shingo Mizutani was also sucked into the toad's abdominal space.

"Your ability to manipulate shadows relies on the outside space, right? There aren't that many shadows you can use in the space inside a toad's belly." Mizutani Shingo had just observed that the black blade that July drew, as well as the shadow that took away Mizutani Oto and the spirit girl, both came from the shadows.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this...?" July chuckled.

There was a fundamental difference in strength between him and Shingo Mizutani. In his eyes, whatever Shingo Mizutani did was nothing more than a death throes.

"You must be Mizutani Shingo, the head of the Mizutani family. I'm curious, why is your granddaughter a spirit body?" July continued to ask.

"The Mizutani family must have an heir!" Mizutani Shingo merged into the flesh wall.

His son died young, leaving behind only a granddaughter, but this granddaughter also soon fell seriously ill.

Just then, Tetsuya Miyamoto came to him and told him that he could help him create a spirit relic of his granddaughter.

Although the potential of the spirit remains is not high, as long as the granddaughter's spirit remains give birth to offspring, the Mizutani lineage can still continue.

In order to ensure the continuation of his lineage, Mizutani Shingo agreed to provide support to Miyamoto Tetsuya and secretly did a lot for him.

The next moment, Shingo Mizutani appeared behind Nanatsu.

July slightly turned her body to dodge his attack, and quickly turned around, delivering a sweeping kick to Mizutani Shingo's abdomen.

Shingo Mizutani was kicked away and crashed into the flesh wall, causing the entire flesh wall space to shake violently.

“Your spiritual pressure is too weak.” July shook her head gently. “If you’re only relying on this ability, you might as well surrender.”
