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

"The Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force will suffer far fewer casualties as a result!" Ashido exclaimed.

The calm is relative to the death gods of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

With Barragán's fall, a power vacuum will emerge in the rule of Las Noches.

Those powerful Hollows will fight each other for the throne of Las Noches.

The Great Hollows were preoccupied with vying for power and had no time to attend to the expeditionary force.

"The Grim Reapers stationed in the mortal realm are probably going to get busy," July said.

The Hueco Mundo is in chaos. Without the restraint of the Hueco Mundo, some Void beings may go to the mortal world to cause trouble.

“Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.” Ashido nodded slightly. “Before a new king is chosen in Las Noches, the Grim Reapers stationed in the mortal realm will probably have to work harder!”

"How is Vice Captain Kuchiki's injury?" Asido asked.

"The surgery was successful, and she will survive, but there is a possibility of long-term effects," July said.

"Is there a possibility of long-term effects...? Lieutenant Kuchiki is still so young." Asido said regretfully, "But Shikatori-kun's medical skills are truly superb. Even the captain of the Fourth Division said he wasn't confident he could save Lieutenant Kuchiki's life."

Asido now has a deeper understanding of Shikagoshi July's medical skills and Taoist abilities.

Before Shikatoshi Nanatsuki returned, Shijima Shika had already sentenced Kuchiki Aojun to death.

Two officers from the Sixth Division begged her to give it a try, so she reluctantly agreed.

Next, July stayed at the medical camp to help the medical team treat other seriously injured Deaths.

...

Several days later, a somber-faced Xiu Mu Yin Ling waited in front of the interdimensional gate.

He received advance notice of the Sixth Division's return and is waiting here.

The portal opened, and the Shinigami of the Sixth Division emerged from it.

"Captain Kuchiki!"

Some Grim Reapers still refer to Kuchiki Ginrei by the title they held before retirement.

Rotten Wood Silver Ridge nodded slightly, continuing to gaze at the interdimensional gate.

Pale-faced Kuchiki Sojun sat in a wooden wheelchair.

"Father...I'm sorry...cough cough cough—"

Kuchiki Sōjun coughed violently after saying a few words, leaving a bloodstain on his handkerchief and making his face even paler.

"No need to say more, just get some rest." Even though Kuchiki Ginryo was mentally prepared, he still felt much heavier.

"Let's send Cang Chun to the Fourth Division to recuperate for a while."

July stepped out of the interdimensional gate, "The conditions at the expeditionary force camp are limited, so we can't help Cang Chun with his spiritual body."

The Grim Reaper pushing the wheelchair looked at Kuchiki Ginrei with questioning eyes.

"Listen to Shikatori-kun." Kuchiki Ginrei nodded to the Shinigami pushing the wheelchair, and the Shinigami immediately pushed Kuchiki Sōjun toward the Fourth Division.

The students followed closely behind their teacher and stepped out of the interdimensional gate.

"You all go back to the Spirit Arts Academy first. I have something to discuss with the head of the Kuchiki family."

At July's suggestion, the students went to the Spirit Arts Academy to register on their own.

They all completed their respective missions on the battlefield and passed the early graduation assessment. They only need to return to submit their missions to graduate.

In July, she followed Kuchiki Ginryo to the Kuchiki family home.

The Kuchiki family mansion is a very traditional Japanese garden.

The two walked through the courtyard gate and arrived at a tea garden full of cherry blossoms.

"Please sit down." Xiu Mu Yin Ling boiled water to wash the tea, his movements fluid and graceful.

A moment later, a cup of hot tea was placed in front of July.

"Tea, please."

"Good tea," July said after tasting it.

"This is this year's new tea. If you like it, Shikatori-kun, I'll have some sent to the Shikatori Dojo." Kuchiki Ginrei refilled the tea and said impatiently, "I already know about Soujun's condition. I've asked Captain Unohana and Captain Hikifune these past few days, and Soujun's injuries are indeed not optimistic. What is the treatment plan that you mentioned, Shikatori-kun?"

In July, Qi Yue had already communicated with Kuchiki Ginryo about Kuchiki Soujun through the messenger machine.

However, he did not disclose the treatment plan.

Because the messenger machine is being monitored by the intelligence team, July didn't want to discuss topics involving the ban on the messenger machine.

Kuchiki Ginrei has consulted with Unohana Retsu and Hikifune Kiryu over the past few days, but they also have no way to treat this injury.

Now we can only place our hopes on Shikari Nanatsuki.

“Captain Yizhou could have done this plan, so the reason she didn’t propose it…” July took a sip of tea, “is probably because of the Forty-Sixth Chamber’s ban.”

The treatment plan for July is to create a spirit body to replace the organs of Kuchiki Sojun.

Kiryuu Hikifune also creates spirit remains, so she must have thought of this plan as well, but because of the Forty-Sixth Chamber's prohibition, she didn't bring it up.

"The Forty-Sixth Chamber's prohibition?" Kuchiki Ginrei frowned. "Please explain further, Shikatori-kun."

“Patriarch Kuchiki should still remember the spirit remains incident from a few years ago, right? My plan is to create Cang Chun’s spirit remains and replace his organs with those of the spirit remains,” July said.

"Replacing the organs of the spirit remains..." Kuchiki Ginryo's heart sank. The creation of spirit remains had indeed been forbidden by order of the Forty-Sixth Chamber.

Chamber 46 did not want the Grim Reapers to continue researching the technology of spirit remains, fearing that the spirit remains would become indistinguishable from the real thing and unknowingly replace them.

“I’m very confident this plan will succeed, and there’s not much risk for Cang Chun,” July said.

“But that would violate the rules of the Forty-Six Chambers,” Kuchiki Ginrei said in a deep voice. “The Kuchiki family cannot lead the way in violating these rules, otherwise what order would there be in Soul Society?”

The Kuchiki family, one of the four noble families, is not actually afraid of the Forty-Six Chambers.

However, the Kuchiki family cannot lead the way in violating the ban.

But must we just let Kuchiki Sojun fade into obscurity like this?

Xiu Mu Yin Ling's thoughts were in disarray.

"Due to the restrictions imposed by Room 46, there's nothing I can do," July said, shaking her head gently.

He only spoke so much to Kuchiki Ginrei because he had been Kuchiki Sojun's assessment instructor.

Now that things have come to this, if Kuchiki Ginryo is too stubborn, he certainly won't bother violating the ban for Kuchiki Souchun.

As Kuki Ginryo continued to serve the deer July tea, he pondered deeply.

"The Kuchiki family is really stubborn."

July thought to herself.

Even though he did something that no one else knew about, Kuchiki Ginrei would still abide by the rules.

The Kuchiki clan holds themselves to the standards of a gentleman, both openly and secretly.

After a long silence, Kuchiki Ginryo said:

"Besides Cang Chun, there must be other Grim Reapers with missing limbs or organs who need treatment with the Spirit Relic technology. I'll try to persuade the 46th Chamber to lift some of the restrictions on Spirit Relics."

With a treatment plan for Kuchiki Sojun right in front of him, Kuchiki Ginryo was ultimately unwilling to give up.

If there were no ban on undead remains, then it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules.

"Indeed. If the spirit body technology can be used to treat the Grim Reapers who have missing limbs or organs, it would be a good thing for them. I will wait for news from the Kuchiki family head."

July nodded gently.

The actions of Xiumu Yinling were within his expectations.

In July, there was also a desire to lift some restrictions on the ban on undead remains.

Based on his years of research, the necromancy technique is actually a very good treatment option for limb and organ defects.

The requirements for limbs and organs are not as high as those for spiritual pressure cores.

Without having to bear the burden of spiritual pressure, even spirit remains that have been cultivated for a very short time can be used to replace limbs and organs.

Before being awakened, the spirit remains have no self-awareness. In July's eyes, they are no different from the flesh and organs on the Grim Reaper's body. She has no psychological burden at all about exchanging limbs or organs with the spirit remains.

Completely banning spirit artifact technology out of fear of spirit artifacts replacing the original body is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

July was thinking about these things in preparation for taking over as captain of the 12th Division.

The organization in Seireitei capable of creating spirit remains is the 12th Division.

If the restrictions on spirit artifact technology could be partially lifted, allowing its application in treatment, the Twelfth Division would have more research funding.

Sufficient research funding is needed to realize the vision of turning the Twelfth Division into a technology bureau.

Chapter 273 Settlement

After discussing matters with Kuchiki Ginryo in July, he returned to the dojo.

Kuchiki Ginryo decided to lobby the Forty-Six Chambers to lift the ban on some of the spirit remains.

Given the influence of the Kuchiki family, it wouldn't be difficult to accomplish this.

However, it will take time to do so. Before the ban is amended, Kuchiki Aoi will have to stay in the medical team to recuperate.

"I am back."

"The teacher is back!"

Nilu cheered.

In July, I met Kana Mochishiro, Rie Hoshino, Nel, and Hakunsai Shikato in the dojo courtyard.

The four of them were preparing ingredients in the yard.

"Isn't Cilantro supposed to be on duty? Why is she here so early today?"

July was somewhat puzzled, as he had informed his disciples in advance before returning from Hueco Mundo.

Shiba Isshin and the others graduated successfully, and he planned to cook a big meal to celebrate.

Except for Hoshino Rie, who happened to be on leave, everyone else had to be on duty and could only rush back after finishing their shift that night.

"Hehe, I heard that the teacher is coming back from Hueco Mundo today, so I specially took a day off!"

Cilantro from Zhicheng showed off the washed and chopped ingredients, saying, "We've almost got the ingredients ready!"

After learning that her teacher was going to hold a celebration party, she dragged Hoshino Rie, who was on vacation, to prepare the ingredients.

"After all these years, I still crave it so much!"

July smiled helplessly. When it comes to food, Cilantro from Zhicheng is always the most enthusiastic. She even took a day off to prepare more ingredients.

"Hehe~ It's rare to be making a big meal, of course I'm really looking forward to it!" Cilantro from Mole City said with a grin.

She would occasionally go back to the dojo for a free meal, but usually she would only have simple, everyday dishes, so she was really looking forward to today's big meal.

"It's been a while since I've shown off my skills, so today I'll let you try some new dishes!"

In July, she glanced at the ingredients they had prepared and began to think about what new dishes to make.

"What is Captain Kuchiki's attitude towards the open-source spirit corpse technology?"

While breaking off vegetable leaves, Ba Yunzhai asked.

Although she can't fight right now, she can still do some simple things without any problem.

"Rotten Wood Silver Ridge has decided to lobby the Forty-Sixth Chamber to lift some of the bans on spirit remains technology," July said.

"The Kuchiki family are indeed all stubborn old fogies!" Baiyunzhai laughed. "If the ban can be amended, I won't need to hide my strength anymore after I replace the spiritual pressure core of the spirit body."

“With the influence of the Kuchiki family, this matter should be able to proceed smoothly.” July nodded.

In the evening, July's disciples arrived one after another.

"Yoruichi has learned Bankai!"

Kensei Rokusha's tone was slightly sarcastic.

He thought he was not much different from Yoruichi Shihouin, but Yoruichi Shihouin had already mastered Bankai!

He is still in the stage of accumulating spiritual pressure and has not even touched the training of materializing his Zanpakuto yet. He still has a long way to go before he can learn Bankai.
