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

He attempted to reduce the punishment for some of his cultivation tasks by feigning pitifulness and admitting his mistakes.

"It's only been a few days since school started, and I've already heard similar things from you several times!" Shirai Riko put her hands on her hips. She would never believe Shiba Isshin's nonsense again. "You'll have to copy today's class notes a hundred times. You have to finish copying them in Shikatori-sensei's office!"

Chapter 223 Warning

Shiba's attempts to play the victim failed, and he was forced to stay in Shikagori Nanatsuki's office to copy his class notes.

"Teacher, I actually did something amazing just now!" Zhibo wrote a few words and couldn't help but start bragging to his teacher about his deeds.

"What did you do?" July asked while reading the documents in her hand.

He brought back too much data from Tetsuya Miyamoto's experimental base; he hasn't even finished reading a tenth of it yet.

"I just saw Tsunayoshi Tokina harassing Utako, so I stopped him!" Shiba Isshin gave himself a thumbs up.

"Is Tsunayoshiro Tokinada back again? I saw him on the first day of school." July raised an eyebrow. Several days have passed, and the Tsunayoshiro family still hasn't given up.

The spiritual pressure fluctuations in the Spiritual Arts Academy are numerous and significantly interfere with spiritual perception. Unless he deliberately concentrates his mind and uses his spiritual senses, he would not have noticed that an outsider had come to the Spiritual Arts Academy.

"Utako had already rejected Tsunayoshi Tokina, yet he still keeps bothering me!" Shiba Isshin said with a look of disgust. "That Tsunayoshi Tokina doesn't have a good reputation. If Utako had been fooled by him, he would have been in big trouble. Luckily, Sousuke and I ran into him and chased him away!"

"Sousuke skipped class with you too?" July stroked her chin, somewhat curious as to why Aizen Sousuke, who skipped class, wasn't punished by Shirai-sensei. "You guys did a good job. I also reminded Kagaku that day to come to me if she ran into trouble, but it seems she's still too embarrassed to bother me."

He could understand Ge Kuang's thoughts; she was afraid that troubling her teacher so soon after becoming his disciple would leave a bad impression.

"Then can I stop copying?" Shiba Isshin asked with delight, revealing his true intentions.

"Let's keep things separate. You helped your fellow disciple, so you won't be punished when you return to the dojo," July said with a smile. "However, you still skipped class, so you'd better complete Shirai-sensei's punishment properly!"

"You still want to copy?" Shiba Isshin's face fell.

"You copy here. I'm going to talk to the vice dean about this. Don't even think about slacking off. I'll be checking what you copied when I get back." July said and left the office.

Kagaku has already made his stance clear, but the Tsunayama family doesn't seem to have given up on the idea of ​​having Kagaku marry into their family. In July, he plans to talk to the vice-director.

The vice dean's office was in the same building, and he soon arrived at the vice dean's office.

"It's Professor Shikatori, please have a seat." Vice Dean Tsunayo was quite enthusiastic, pouring Shikatori Nanatsu a cup of tea. "I was just thinking of going to see Professor Shikatori, but I didn't expect you to come first."

"Does Vice Dean Tsuna need to speak with me?" July asked.

“I just heard from Shida that Professor Shikatori has already accepted Utako as his disciple.” Vice Dean Tsunayo smiled kindly. “We were right. To be valued by Professor Shikatori, Utako must be very talented.”

"Ge Kuang is indeed very talented, and he is also a very hardworking child." July nodded gently.

"Talented and hardworking, such a genius deserves Shikatori-sensei's dedication to nurturing him!" Vice Dean Tsunayo exclaimed. "Tokina is Captain-Commander Yamamoto's student. His strength and abilities in all aspects are quite good, but his temperament is a bit lacking. However, this is only because he is young. He will probably change after getting married."

"I think Tokina and Kagura are a good match. Could Professor Shikatori help bring them together? With the support of the Tsunayashiro family, Kagura will surely grow even faster." Vice Dean Tsunayashiro began to paint a rosy picture. "With our support, we can even push Kagura to the position of captain. With such teaching achievements, it will be a piece of cake for Professor Shikatori to take the position of Dean of the Spirit Arts Academy!"

After hearing that Utamasa had become Shikamori Nanatsuki's disciple, Vice Dean Tsunayo quickly changed her mind.

He wanted to win over Lu Quqiyue through Ge Kuang!

If they could facilitate the marriage between Tokina and Kagami, the Tsuna-Yayo family wouldn't mind lowering their standards. They could use Kagami's relationship to join forces with Shikatori Nanatsuki and completely control the Shinigami Academy!

As for the matter of Ge Kuang possessing the fragment of the Spirit King—

She wasn't the only one in Soul Society who possessed a fragment of the Soul King, and it wasn't necessary to use her for experiments.

"I'm sorry, but I respect Kagaku's personal wishes." July was somewhat speechless. The vice dean, Tsunayoshi, actually wanted him to persuade Kagaku. The Tsunayoshi family was too confident in their own status.

Vice Dean Tsunayo's smile stiffened slightly, but July didn't notice and continued:

"I came here today to clarify this matter. Kagaku currently only wants to focus on her training and has no intention of getting married. I ask the Tsunayo family not to disturb her training in the future."

"Only those with magnanimity can go further, Professor Shikatori." Vice Dean Tsunayo's expression turned much colder.

Vice Dean Tsunayo believes that Shichigatsu Shikato rejected this mutually beneficial offer because he was still holding onto the grudge he had against Tsunayo Tokinada when they competed for the ministerial position.

Vice Dean Tsunayo was furious. In the competition for the ministerial position, the Tsunayo family had actually suffered a loss. What Tsunayo had planned had ended up falling on the head of a new teacher. If it weren't for the fact that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was paying attention to this matter, they would have already taken drastic measures against Shichigetsu.

However, what they didn't expect was that Shikagiri Nanatsuki's strength and reputation increased at an alarming rate. In just a few years, he had become a force that even the Tsunayashiro family had to be wary of.

The price to pay for taking revenge on Shikari Nanatsu would be too high, so Vice Dean Tsunayo temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking revenge on Shikari Nanatsu.

The Tsuna-Yayo family wasn't going to hold a grudge, but Shika-ri Nanatsuki was still holding onto this grudge!

"I will not sacrifice my disciple for my own benefit." July stood up to leave, glancing subtly at the room behind the office. "I have said my piece. I hope the Tsunayo family will not bother Utako again."

After July left, Vice Dean Tsuna's expression changed rapidly.

"I don't know what to do!"

bang——

The table was smashed by Vice Dean Tsunayo's angry blow.

“I told you, he definitely wouldn’t agree. You’re just making a fuss over nothing.” Tsunayoshi Tokina walked out of the room behind the office with his arms crossed.

The layout of the vice dean's office is somewhat different from that of the other teachers' offices, as it includes an extra private room.

Tsunayoshi Tokinada did not leave; he had been staying in his office room the whole time.

Chapter 224 Yama

"It's all because of you!" Vice Dean Tsunayo couldn't help but feel relieved and had to vent. "Anyone could easily find out all the shady things you've done in the past with just a little investigation!"

Tsuna's face turned cold, and the twisted thoughts in his mind grew stronger.

But now is not the time to reveal it. Tsunayoshi Tokinada asked coldly, "What's the next step? Shikatori Nanatsuki has come all this way in person. If I continue to look for Utako, I'll have to be prepared to confront him head-on."

“Let’s postpone this matter.” Vice Dean Tsunayo calmed down, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. “A genius like Kagaku will definitely graduate early… He’s offended the Tsunayo family and thinks he can get away unscathed? Does he think he’s Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni?”

Vice Dean Tsunayo has already figured out how to handle this matter.

If I can't have her, then I'll destroy her!

Utakoyaki's homeroom teacher wasn't Shikagiri Nanatsuki, and the task of graduating early wasn't Shikagiri Nanatsuki's responsibility. They only needed to manipulate things slightly, and the consequences would be something that a Shinigami like Utakoyaki, who hadn't yet grown up, could not bear.

...

A few weeks later, at the Shikato Dojo.

In the courtyard, Shichiru is teaching Uta Kō.

After a period of contact, July discovered that Gekuang's swordsmanship talent was very poor, but his talent in the art of demonic arts was quite outstanding.

It should be noted that she was an innkeeper born in Rukongai, and had never been exposed to Kido before entering the Spirit Arts Institute.

But now she can unleash over thirty types of Hado without chanting.

This reminded July of the two self-created Kido techniques that Nobukatsu had passed down to him: one was the Binding Technique "Moon Sea Tide" and the other was the Destruction Technique "Starfall Moonfall".

"Moon Sea Tide" can be used to bind enemies and absorb their spiritual pressure.

"Starfall and Moonfall" is a powerful Destruction attack that can be released by utilizing the spiritual pressure absorbed by "Moon Sea Tide".

After Wu Gang's death, there was no successor, and July intended to help him pass on these two self-created demonic arts.

Ge Kuang is a very suitable candidate.

“Ge Kuang, your talent in the Ghost Path is quite good. I suggest you specialize in this in the future.”

In July, he took out the bamboo scroll containing the stories of "the rising tide of the moon sea" and "the falling of stars and the moon," and continued:

"This was given to me by Captain Nobuaki in the past. It contains two of his original Kido techniques, 'Moon Sea Tide' and 'Starfall Moonfall.' Practice them diligently; you might be able to join the Kido Clan after graduation."

The Kido Clan differs from ordinary squads. Kido Clan members are all Shinigami skilled in Kido, specializing in tasks such as opening passages, creating barriers, and sealing.

"I will cultivate diligently!" Ge Kuang happily accepted the bamboo scroll. She also discovered that she was more skilled in the Ghost Path, and joining the Ghost Path Clan was indeed her first choice.

"You can't have any obvious weaknesses in your sword strikes. The Sailfish Spiritual Vibration Training Method can enhance your spiritual pressure control. Don't slack off on these training sessions," July said.

"Yes!" Ge Kuang nodded repeatedly.

[Current training task has been added: Guide Gekuang to complete advanced training in spiritual pressure control (in progress)]

[Current cultivation task has been added: guide Ge Kuang to complete the Ghost Path cultivation of "Moon Sea Tide Rises" and "Starfall and Moonfall" (in progress)]

"Gekuang, I saw that Amanmon Tomoya seemed to be affected mentally the other day. Is that the effect of your Zanpakuto?" July was curious about Gekuang's Zanpakuto ability. This was the first time he had seen a Zanpakuto that could affect the mind.

“My Enma can erode mental consciousness, but the effect varies from person to person. Amanto Tomoya's will and spiritual pressure are both weak, so he can't withstand Enma's attack. I'll show it to you, Master.” Utako drew his Zanpakuto.

"Judgment, Enma."

Kagura's Zanpakuto transformed into an ancient mirror.

In the antique mirror, a woman with two horns on her head sits.

"So this is 'Enma'... Try using it on me." July wanted to see for herself.

Kagura did not hesitate. Her teacher's spiritual pressure far exceeded hers, and Enma's effects would hardly have any impact on her teacher.

Soon, the woman in the mirror opened a scroll on the table.

The antique mirror immediately reflected the image of Deer Qu July.

Immediately afterwards, a black mist surged out of the ancient mirror and rushed towards Shikaguchi Nanatsuki.

“These black mists are called the Breath of the Underworld. They can transform into things that you care about and corrupt your mind. They usually transform into powerful enemies that you cannot defeat or things that you fear,” Ge Kuang explained.

In July, he saw the black mist transform into shirtless figures of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, surging towards him.

It has to be said, this scene was truly unsettling.

However, the power gap between Ge Kuang, who was controlling the black mist, and him was too great. The black mist only made him feel uncomfortable and did not have any serious effect on him.

“It has some limitations…” July frowned. “Let’s focus on the Ghost Path.”

Enma can only be used against enemies with weak will or low spiritual pressure.

“I understand. Enma was able to defeat Amanmon Tomoya because of his weak will.” Kaku nodded slightly.

Just then, July noticed that the 'Voice of Hell' contained in her pouch was making a sound.

In July, it was discovered that the 'Voice of Hell' was a reaction produced after contact with the black mist.

The 'Voice of Hell' was activated, as if it had come into contact with the Spirit Particles of Hell!

"You said this black mist is called the Breath of the Underworld?" July recalled the words that Ge Kuang had just mentioned.

The black mist seemed to contain hellish spiritual particles, something July hadn't expected.

“Yes, that’s what Yama told me. I heard that the Underworld is a place of hell,” Ge Kuang said.

"Is your Yama actually connected to Hell?" July asked.

"Not really... it's just that after completing my initial release, some Yellow Spring Water appeared in my consciousness space," Ge Kuang explained.

July frowned immediately. The Yellow Spring Water was a product of hell, and it might have some negative effects on Ge Kuang.

"Contact with hellish objects may have some negative effects, so use with caution until the dangers are fully understood," July said seriously.

"I'll be careful..." Ge Kuang nodded. Seeing how seriously the teacher was speaking, she didn't take it lightly.

When he returned home in July, he found that the 'Hellish Sound' in his pouch had not yet been extinguished.

A voice emanated from inside the shell: "Immortality..."

July recognized the voice; it was Saito's immortal grandmother, with whom she had previously communicated.

July tentatively asked, "Grandma Saito?"

The voice continued to come from inside the shell: "Isn't he immortal... I thought it was the immortal who contacted me. You are Shikagiri Nanatsuki, right?"

July said, "Ms. Saito is still in the Abyss. I just accidentally triggered the 'Voice of Hell' and didn't expect to get in touch with you."

The voice continued to come from inside the shell: "That's alright, Shikatori-kun, I was just about to ask you for a favor..."

Chapter 225 Seal

July has come to the Avici Hell once again.

While testing Kagura's Zanpakuto, he discovered that the Breath of the Underworld released by Enma contained Hell Spirit Particles.

The dense hellish spiritual particles activated the 'Hellish Voice', which inadvertently allowed July to reconnect with Saito's immortal grandmother, Saito Hoshiko.

Saito Hoshiko asked July to help her confirm something.

Before July, when Wujian was creating 'The Sound of Hell', it was discovered that Wujian contained Hell Spirits.

Therefore, they speculated that Avici might be connected to Hell.
