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

"I'd like you to help me gather information about Amanmon Tomoya's crimes. I just had Zuo Zhen go out and inquire, and Amanmon Tomoya is indeed notorious in Suzuka Ward," July said.

“No problem, I’ll take some men to his house to see if there’s any evidence.” Yoruichi Shihouin nodded.

Infiltration is what the covert task force excels at.

Yoruichi Shihouin and several members of the Onmitsukido Shinigami infiltrated Tomoya Amanmon's house and, without alerting anyone, obtained Amanmon's Flowing Water from the butler.

The record shows the amount of money spent on purchasing concubines. Most of these concubines had already been tortured by Amanto Tomoya, and the remaining few were also people who had suffered greatly.

Chapter 220 Blind Date

The death of Amanmon Tomoya has attracted widespread attention.

The entire Awan family was furious.

Upon learning of this, the head of the Amanmon family immediately declared within the clan that the murderer of Amanmon Tomoya must be made to pay the price.

However, the head of the Amanmon family soon learned that Amanmon Tomoya had also died at the hands of Shikatori Nanatsuki.

Moreover, Shikatoshi Nanatsuki had a legitimate reason for his actions, as his disciple, Shihouin Yoruichi, was in charge of investigating the matter.

The head of the Awan family then stopped mentioning making the murderer pay the price.

After Yoruichi Shihouin and the Onmitsukido team finished compiling evidence against Tomoya Amano, July visited the Amano family.

The Aman family was very polite, and even the head of the family personally met with Shikatoshi Shichigetsu.

It was even stated that Amanmon Tomoya had committed numerous evils, and that his death at the hands of Shikatori Nanatsuki was entirely his own fault.

He also wanted to thank Shichiju on behalf of the Amanmon family for eliminating this scourge for them.

Shikatoshi Nanatsuki's current strength and reputation are no less than those of the captains of the Gotei 13. The head of the Amanmon family would not offend such a person for the sake of Amanmon Tomoya.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

July wouldn't be so naive as to think that this matter is over and done with.

This incident dealt a significant blow to the reputation of the Awanmen family, and the entire family harbored resentment towards him.

If the Awanmen family gets the chance, they will definitely take advantage of the situation.

July didn't care about this. As Shikatori Dojo grew stronger, the gap between him and a family like Amanmon, which didn't even have a captain-level pillar, would only widen.

After dealing with Amanto Tomoya's matter, it was time for the Spirit Arts Academy to start its semester.

In July, he took on a freshman class, which included six of his students, and it was destined to become a legendary class.

Duanmu Zongjie knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Minister, this is the list of interns you requested." Duanmu Zongjie placed a stack of documents in front of Shikatoshi Nanatsuki and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Thanks, you're pretty quick, Sousuke-kun." Shikatori Nanatsuki picked up the documents and started flipping through them.

“Now that school has started, the list of these students has already been compiled.” Duanmu Zongjie looked puzzled. “But why are you suddenly interested in students from other grades?”

"I met a promising student a while ago, but I forgot to ask her class, so I thought I'd check the list of students." July explained as she looked through the list of students.

In July, I was looking for Ge Kuang's class.

Two days ago, when he met Kagura in Rukongai, he discovered that her talent was A+.

At the time, we needed to deal with Amanmon Tomoya's matter and didn't want her to get involved in it or be targeted by the Amanmon family, so we let her leave before the Amanmon family arrived.

I still haven't received the reward for becoming the first disciple with A-level talent in July.

Having finally encountered a student with A-level talent, July considered taking Ge Kuang as her disciple.

"What! You've discovered another promising swordsman?" Duanmu Zongjie became interested. "How do you discover so many talented disciples? Can you teach me?"

When Duanmu Zongjie saw that Shikatori Nanatsuki had several graduated disciples who were already holding important positions in various squads, he began to fantasize about taking on a few talented disciples himself. He thought that once his disciples became successful, his status as their teacher would also rise accordingly.

"Well... let's go with our intuition." July indicated that he couldn't teach this; he was looking for a disciple based on his past life memories and the talent display on the panel.

"Intuition?" Duanmu Zongjie's face fell. "That can't be learned at all!"

"Found it, so it's a third-time student." July searched the list of students for a while and finally found Ge Kuang's name.

"How enviable! You've found another swordsmanship genius!" Duanmu Zongjie said with a look of envy. "Why can't I meet one?"

"The student I'm looking for doesn't necessarily have to be a swordsmanship prodigy. If she wants to learn something else, I can teach her too," July said with a smile.

“That’s true. You’re proficient in everything from slashing and fighting to demonic possession, so you can teach other things without any problem. By the way…” Duanmu Zongjie glanced furtively at the door before saying to Shikagiri Nanatsuki, “Guess who I ran into when I went to get the list of academy students?”

"Could it be Captain-Commander Yamamoto coming to the school?" July asked curiously.

"The opening ceremony is this afternoon, what's so strange about Captain-Commander Yamamoto coming to school..." Duanmu Zongjie put his hand to his mouth and whispered, "I ran into Tsunayoshi Tokinada!"

"Tsunayoshi Tokinada?" July frowned. "What's he doing at school?"

"I don't know either... Maybe he was invited to the opening ceremony?" Duanmu Zongjie scratched his head, quickly denying his own theory. "No, there's no reason to invite a teacher who's been expelled... What would he be doing at the Spirit Arts Academy?"

Tsunayoshi Tokinada had already been expelled from the Spirit Arts Academy, an order personally given by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, which Tsunayoshi Tokinada dared not disobey.

After Tsunayoshi Tokinada was expelled from the Spirit Arts Academy, he had little contact with him in the past few years.

But now he's suddenly come to the Spirit Arts Academy.

Someone like him wouldn't come to the Spiritual Arts Academy for no reason.

"Never mind him for now, I'm leaving."

"Then I'll go back to my office and ask the other teachers about Tsunayoshi Tokinada!"

The two left the office and headed to the classroom in July.

He had just checked Ge Kuang's class schedule in July, and it was her class time, so he planned to go directly to the classroom to find Ge Kuang.

Having spent quite some time at the Spirit Arts Academy in July, I was familiar with the classroom locations and quickly found Ge Kuang's class.

However, he encountered two unexpected people outside the classroom.

In July, I met Tsunayo Tokina and Vice Dean Tsunayo at the classroom door. They were talking with Utako.

"Shikatori-sensei!" Kagura exclaimed with delight upon seeing Shikatori Nanatsuki.

When Tsunayo Tokinada and Vice Dean Tsunayo met Shikatori Shichigetsu, they did not show any unusual behavior.

Tsunayoshi Tokina merely glanced at Shikatori Shichigetsu before ignoring him and making no attempt to greet him.

Vice Dean Tsunayo is quite shrewd. Knowing that Shikari Nanatsuki has grown up, he no longer shows hostility towards her. Instead, he always greets her with a smile, making it impossible to tell that they had a conflict when they were vying for the position of captain of the swordsmanship club.

Vice Dean Tsunayo took the initiative to greet Shichiru Shichiru: "Shichiru-sensei, it's been a long time! Your summer vacation must have been quite fulfilling!"

“Vice Dean Tsuna.” July nodded gently. “I did encounter quite a few things during the summer vacation.”

July did encounter quite a few things during the summer vacation. First, he went on a study tour with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, then he eliminated the Mizutani family and Miyamoto Tetsuya, and two days before the start of the semester, he also dealt with Amanmon Tomoya.

These things are hardly secrets to well-informed people.

Shikatori Nanatsuki thwarted the Tsunayo family's plan to interfere in the Spirit Arts Academy, and Vice Dean Tsunayo was quite concerned about his movements, so naturally she wouldn't miss any news about Shikatori Nanatsuki.

Tsunayoshi Tokina stood silently to the side, showing no emotion.

After greeting Vice Dean Tsuna, he continued to ask Kagaku, "What's your decision?"

"Are we making a decision so soon?" Ge Kuang said hesitantly. "Isn't that a bit too hasty..."

"How long do you need to think about this? You've already studied at the Spirit Arts Academy for two or three years, so you should know very well the weight the name Tsunayo carries in Soul Society," Vice Dean Tsunayo said calmly. "For a commoner student like you, this is a rare opportunity."

"I need to think about it some more, after all, this is no small matter for me..." Ge Kuang said, looking down.

Vice Dean Tsuna frowned, but seeing that Shikari Shichiki was also there, he did not reprimand her.

"Opportunities don't wait for anyone. I'll give you a day at most. Think it over carefully."

After Vice Dean Tsunayo finished speaking, he left with Tsunayo Tokina, who did not say a word from beginning to end.

"Ge Kuang, what were you talking about just now? If you feel threatened, please tell the teacher." July asked with a smile.

“It wasn’t a threat,” Kagaku explained. “Just now, Vice Dean Tsunayoshi introduced me to Lord Tokinada. Lord Tokinada wants to marry me…”

“I see… I don’t want to interfere with your freedom to choose your partner, but I have to remind you of something.” July stroked her chin. “That Tsunayoshi Tokinada used to be a swordsmanship club teacher.”

"Lord Shitan was also a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy before?" Ge Kuang asked, somewhat surprised.

When Kagami enrolled, Tsunayoshi Tokinada had already been expelled, so she was unaware of this.

“Yes, he was also Amanmon Tomoya’s homeroom teacher.” July nodded. “Tsunayoshi Tokinada was expelled by Captain-Commander Yamamoto for his improper attitude towards students.”

Utako's impression of Tsunayoshi Tokinada immediately plummeted to rock bottom.

"That doesn't seem to be the right person. Luckily, Professor Shikato told me all this." Kagaku patted his chest, a look of relief on his face.

Kagura has a birthmark on her face, and she is somewhat insecure about her appearance. Being valued by the Tsunayo family, one of the five great noble families, should have been a joyful thing.

However, after hearing what Shikatori-sensei said, she completely gave up the idea of ​​marrying Tsunayoshi Tokinada.

A person who can be personally dismissed by Captain-Commander Yamamoto is unlikely to be of good character.

She is not the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for wealth and status.

"You're still young, there's no need to think about these things so early. Your own strength is the foundation for establishing yourself in Soul Society," July said with a smile. "I came to find you because I think you're a promising talent. Would you like to become my disciple?"

"Am I also qualified to become Shikatori-sensei's disciple?" Kaku was a little dizzy from the sudden surprise.

Teacher Shikato is a well-known figure in the Spirit Arts Academy. His classes achieve exceptional results, and several of his graduates have become legendary figures in the academy.

Being valued by such a teacher and accepted as a disciple, Ge Kuang naturally felt extremely honored.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You defeated your enemy that day by using your Shikai, right? To be able to comprehend Shikai so early shows your extraordinary talent. With your talent, you will definitely achieve something if you continue to train hard," July said.

"I am willing to become Shikatoshi's disciple!" Kagaku agreed without hesitation, a stark contrast to his previous hesitation when facing Tsuna and Yayo.

On that day in July, Shikato took the initiative to accept the pressure from the Amanmon, leaving an indelible impression on Kagaku.

From then on, Shikatori-sensei was no longer just a well-known and respected teacher among the students, but the person she admired most.

Now that she has the opportunity to become Shikatoshi-sensei's disciple, she will never miss it.

A notification also appeared before July's eyes:

[Ge Kuang requests to become an apprentice; will you accept him as a personal disciple?]

In July, a prompt to become a disciple appeared before her eyes, and she immediately confirmed it, accepting Ge Kuang as her disciple.

"Alright, from now on you are my disciple. You must be loyal to your sect and diligently cultivate." July said with a smile.

[Successfully recruited Ge Kuang as his personal disciple]

[Having acquired an A-rank talent disciple for the first time, you will receive an additional reward: the trait "Patience and Guidance"].

As expected in July, he once again received the reward for the "patient and persuasive" keyword.

Open your panel, and you'll see that the original "patient guidance" entry has been changed.

The "Patience and Guidance" attribute has been enhanced again, and it can now raise the learning talent of disciples by four minor levels!

In other words, a disciple like Ge Kuang, whose talent reaches the A+ level, can possess learning abilities comparable to the SS- level under his tutelage!

However, the "patient guidance" attribute only affects learning ability and is different from a true SS-level talent.

The talent rating on the system panel is a comprehensive assessment, including spiritual pressure aptitude, aptitude for sword and demon-slaying techniques, Zanpakuto potential, learning ability, and other multi-dimensional abilities.

However, the boost in learning ability can also bring about tremendous changes in the disciples.

With the added advantage of learning ability, they learn things extremely quickly, and the time required for them to grow is greatly reduced.

After this upgrade, the prompt for further upgrades to the "Pedestrian and persuasive" entry has disappeared. This entry, which could be upgraded, has now been upgraded to the top level.

"If Vice Dean Tsunayoshi and Tsunayoshi Tokina continue to contact you, you can simply refuse," July instructed. "If they make things difficult for you, come find me."

Based on her memories from her past life, July knew that Tosen Kaname's close friend did not have a good ending.

If she were to marry Tsunayoshi Tokinada, she would die at his hands sooner or later.

Now that he has accepted Ge Kuang as his disciple in July, he naturally cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"Don't slack off in your practice. From now on, you should come to the temple to practice every day after class. As long as you practice diligently, it's not impossible to graduate early within one or two years," July continued.

"Yes! I will work hard in my cultivation!" Ge Kuang nodded solemnly, determined to cultivate diligently and graduate ahead of schedule.

The students who graduated early in Kana Momoshiro's year performed exceptionally well, so the Gotei 13 considered early graduation as proof of outstanding ability and gave them some preferential treatment, giving them priority consideration if there were opportunities for promotion.
