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

"Heh heh, don't you even know who I am!" Yoruichi Shihouin laughed. "I am Yoruichi, the 'Flash God'!"

The name I mentioned in July has stuck with Yoruichi Shihouin.

She liked the title very much and decided to call herself Yoruichi the Flash God from now on.

"Now that Yoruichi has mastered Bankai, can she take over the captain's position?"

Shinji Hirako looked on with envy. Like Kensei Muguruma, he still had a long way to go in his Bankai training.

His spiritual pressure has been growing rapidly recently, and he'll probably reach the level of a vice-captain soon.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Aizen Sousuke beside him.

"Is there something on my face?"

Aizen Sousuke said innocently.

"You bastard, you actually parachuted into the Fifth Division!"

Hirako Shinji has had a rather uneventful life these past few years.

The vice-captain of the Fifth Division is getting old and won't be able to serve for many more years.

Therefore, he felt that as long as he followed the steps and waited for the vice captain to retire, he, with his vice captain-level strength, could naturally take over the vice captain's position.

As it turned out, Aizen Sousuke beat him to it!

"Who told you to always like to... 'slack off'!" Kensei Rokusha used a word he'd heard from his teacher. "Vice Captain Yan Yuan thinks you're useless, hahahahaha!"

Kensei Muguruma's promotion speed was much faster than Shinji Hirako's.

He is now the third seat of the Ninth Division, and he is only one step away from becoming the vice-captain!

"Can other squads become captains simply by learning Bankai?"

Kotsubaki Jin'emon asked curiously.

He's in the 11th Division, where the rules are a bit different from the other divisions.

The Eleventh Division is ranked according to strength. If someone can fight the current captain one-on-one in front of more than 200 members and win, they can directly inherit the captain's position.

"No, being a captain isn't just about strength." Yoruichi Shihouin took a sip of soup, a satisfied expression on her face. "Besides the rules for the Eleventh Division, there are two ways to become a captain for other divisions."

Yoruichi Shihouin continued:

"First, the assessment is conducted under the supervision of three or more team leaders, and those who pass the assessment can serve as team leaders."

"Second, you need to be recommended by more than six team leaders, and you need to get the approval of more than three of the other team leaders in order to qualify as a team leader."

"Now that the Thirteenth Division can't gather thirteen captains, does that mean we can only pass the first type of assessment?" Lisa asked curiously.

“For squads without a captain, the vice-captain acts as captain. And those vice-captains also have the right to recommend, so the second method is still valid,” Yoruichi Shihouin explained.

There are currently many vacancies for captains, and Shinigami who have mastered Bankai are generally recognized, hence the saying that mastering Bankai is enough to become a captain.

"Yoruichi-nee...how will you take on the role of captain...?"

Cilantro with puffed-out cheeks asked indistinctly.

"Of course I'm the first one! I'm not afraid of challenges!"

Yoruichi Shihouin was quite confident.

"What is the captain's assessment?"

Liu Chequan asked Xi.

Many people were curious about this question and looked at Yoruichi.

"There are three main things: one is to demonstrate your Bankai, another is to fight against an active captain to show your strength. You don't necessarily have to win this one, as long as you get the captain's approval, that's fine. The last one depends on your resume. Usually, you need to have served in important positions such as senior officers or vice-captains. If you can achieve these three things, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Yoruichi explained.

She has now mastered Bankai and has served as the vice-captain of the 2nd Division for many years, so her resume fully meets the requirements.

You only need to fight against an active captain and gain the approval of the supervising captain to pass the captain's assessment.

"Do I have to fight the captain again? Becoming the captain is really difficult."

Aizen Sousuke smiled.

"Sousuke, I will definitely become the captain of the Fifth Division before you!"

Hirako Shinji was unwilling to be overshadowed by Aizen Sousuke. Although Aizen Sousuke had taken the lead, as long as Aizen Sousuke had not yet mastered Bankai, he still had a chance!

"Really? Then I'll do my best to be Captain Hirako's vice-captain."

Aizen Sousuke gave a warm smile, indicating that he had no ambition whatsoever.

Seeing this, July couldn't help but roll her eyes.

As far as he knew, Aizen Sousuke had actually almost completed his training to materialize his Zanpakuto.

It seems that Hirako Shinji will never be able to become Aizen Sousuke's captain in his lifetime.

"Everyone else has graduated, but I still have to go to school."

Shi Cheng Shuang was also somewhat frustrated. His classmates had all graduated early, and now he was the only one who still had to go to school.

"Practice makes perfect!" Shiba Isshin patted Azashiro Sōya on the shoulder. "Train hard, we'll be waiting for you on the shore!"

"I also want to try my best to graduate early!"

Mole City Shuang also decided to work hard in her cultivation.

...

Late at night, July glanced at the panel, which displayed a new settlement reward notification.

[Disciple Zhibo completed the graduation assessment with an excellent rating; reward settlement complete.]

[Gain 30000 points of basic general experience]

[Random skill proficiency level +1]

...

Komamura Sajin, Yadomaru Lisa, and Kotetsu Isane also completed their graduation assessment with excellent ratings, each of whom gave July a reward of 30000 points of basic ability general experience and a random skill proficiency level +1.

In addition, the rewards for Aizen Sousuke's early graduation have also been calculated.

[Disciple Aizen Sousuke has graduated early due to his outstanding performance in the Spirit Arts Academy's True Sword Trial; rewards are now being distributed.]

[Gain 30000 points of basic general experience]

[Random skill proficiency level +1]

I received a total of 150000 basic ability experience points and 5 random skill proficiency level +1 rewards.

In July, I glanced at the panel.

【Spiritual Pressure lv94 (500/100000)】

The general experience gained is enough to raise spiritual pressure by one level again.

With a thought in his mind, he invested 100000 experience points into his spiritual pressure.

【Spiritual Pressure lv95 (500/500000)】

The spiritual pressure level increased from 94 to 95.

In July, the spiritual pressure within her body surged dramatically.

Even though the spiritual pressure fluctuations subsided in July, the sudden surge in spiritual pressure inevitably caused some of it to spread outwards.

In an instant, everyone sleeping in the dojo was awakened.

"July's power is... second-class spiritual strength!"

Deer-Chapter-Unzhai looked extremely surprised.

She was quite surprised that her spiritual pressure had reached the level of second-grade spiritual power in such a short time.

Generally speaking, the improvement rate of captain-level powerhouses is relatively slow, and it is normal for them to remain unchanged for ten years.

However, the progress in July seemed endless, showing no signs of slowing down.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before he surpasses my prime..."

The disciples also felt this suffocating spiritual pressure fluctuation.

"This is the teacher's spiritual pressure..."

Yoruichi Shihouin was surprised. Her spiritual pressure had reached the level of a captain, but it was still far from that of her teacher.

"I thought I was about to catch up with the teacher! Looks like I still have a long way to go!"

Yoruichi Shihōin sighed.

"I was almost about to eat it, but I was woken up at the last moment!"

Cilantro from Mole City rubbed her eyes.

She slept in the same room as Yoruichi Shihouin.

Both of them are official Shinigami, and they usually live in the barracks and rarely stay overnight at the dojo. Sleeping in the same room saves them the trouble of tidying up.

"You ate so much tonight and still haven't had enough?" Yoruichi asked curiously. She remembered that the dish she ate the most tonight was Cilantro.

"If I eat it tonight, I can eat it in my dreams too..."

Cilantro from Mole City said it was only natural.

"Luckily you don't gain weight, otherwise, at this rate, you'd probably be sitting at the same table as Nozomi," Yoruichi Shihouin remarked.

Another room.

Aizen Sousuke sat cross-legged, with Kyoka Suigetsu on his lap.

The traditional way to cultivate Bankai is to communicate with the Zanpakuto, gain its approval, and obtain the true name of the Bankai from it.

He is currently trying to materialize his Zanpakuto.

Aizen Sousuke suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.

There was nothing there, but his eyes seemed to see something.

"I'm one step closer to Bankai."

Aizen Sousuke's lips curled up slightly.

He has completed the materialization of his Zanpakuto, and can now see it in reality.

At that moment, Aizen Sousuke suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

I quickly looked toward the teacher's room and a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure flashed by.

"It seems... we are still a long way from catching up with the teacher, a mirage."

Aizen Sousuke chuckled lightly.

July is sensing the changes within herself.

"A significant improvement..."

In July, she felt herself break through a limit, and her spiritual pressure increased dramatically.

The difference between spiritual pressure levels 94 and 95 is greater than the difference between levels 90 and 94.

He had previously defeated powerful opponents like Barragan by relying on his superior skills and ability to overcome them.

He didn't have much of an advantage in terms of spiritual pressure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced back by Barragan's spiritual pressure.

If it weren't for the ability to counter him and his superb swordsmanship, which allowed him to break through Barragan's defense, the outcome would have been uncertain.

But things change after breaking through to the second level of spiritual power.

If he were to face a formidable enemy like Barragan again, he would not be forced back by spiritual pressure.

It takes a lot of experience to continue increasing spiritual pressure level, so in July, he invested the remaining experience into Shunpo.

His normal speed is actually quite average; he relies on the boost from his 'Shunpo: Raikiri' form to maintain it during battle.

Yoruichi's Shunpo speed has already surpassed his; it's time for him to improve.
