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

Actually, he woke up when Akin and Mayuri were in the laboratory.

He remembered that Ajin clearly showed interest in the 'Moyao Knife'.

Assigning Ajin the 'Spiritual Food Pill' project now is actually a test of Ajin's personality.

Kisuke Urahara suddenly realized that this young man posed a much greater threat to him than the eccentric Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"Vice Captain Urahara... Am I wrong?"

Ajin looked puzzled.

"It's nothing... I'll leave the development of the 'Spiritual Food Pill' to you. This project isn't difficult; it just requires tedious spiritual body testing, which is perfect for training people and developing research assistants."

Kisuke Urahara shook his head and looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi on the other side.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was still observing the hellish pyrotechnic gas in the culture vessel; he had even opened the lid of the container and released some of the hellish pyrotechnic gas.

"He really is a troublemaker..."

Kisuke Urahara's eye twitched, and he sighed.

Small amounts of hellfire phosphorus exposed to the Soul Society environment dissipate easily.

After Mayuri fiddled with it for a while, the hellish phosphorescence in the palm-sized culture vessel had almost completely dissipated.

“Interesting… It neutralizes spiritual particles in the air.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned. “Vice-Captain Urahara, if you’re going to assign me a research task, give me the task of researching ‘Hellfire Rinnegan’.”

"Ah... I didn't expect you to be interested in things from hell too." Kisuke Urahara scratched the back of his head. "But that's a research area that interests me too!"

Kisuke Urahara had finally found something that interested him and was unwilling to hand over the research to Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"You can collaborate on research by sharing research progress, but the most important thing right now is to establish and improve the researcher training system and cultivate qualified researchers. The current class of students from the Spirit Arts Academy will be graduating soon, and I will recruit a batch of new people. I hope you can guide them with your hearts."

Seeing that the two were starting to clash, July stepped in to smooth things over.

However, July was happy to see the two of them like this.

If Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi get along well and team up against him, the captain, then he himself will be the one in trouble.

“The captain’s suggestion is good. We can share our progress every now and then.” Kisuke Urahara pointed to the mountain of documents on another table. “Look—those documents and data are all related to the spiritual energy of hell.”

"Heh..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi didn't care about the data at all, and just took a container containing a sample of Hell Spirit Particles from the table. "This is enough."

...

half a month later.

The captains of each squad gathered in the courtyard of the First Squad.

Today is Yoruichi Shihouin's captain assessment ceremony.

After returning from Hueco Mundo, Yoruichi Shihouin declared that she would become a captain through a trial.

However, having just mastered Bankai, she was still somewhat apprehensive about challenging the captain.

Although the assessment does not consider winning or losing, as long as you gain the approval of the three team leaders, you can obtain the qualification of team leader.

But the captains and vice-captains of each squad will definitely be there to watch. She can't afford to embarrass herself while being tested in front of so many people!

Therefore, she has been practicing with a teacher during this period to get used to the ability of Bankai.

Yoruichi Shihouin's opponent in today's assessment is none other than the captain of the Second Division.

The current captain of the Second Division is Bee Eisa, the head of the Bee family.

Bee Shadow is an elderly 'Broken Bee'.

Only the most outstanding members of the bee family are qualified to inherit the title of 'Sou-Fong'.

Bee Shadow Yarn is the modern-day 'Small Bee'.

After the Shihōin family experienced a gap in its captain-level combat power, this old woman took on the responsibility of leading the Second Division.

However, she is now quite old and her energy is waning.

In recent years, she has rarely appeared to handle the affairs of the Second Division, which have been mostly handled by Yoruichi Shihouin.

Chapter 280 Yoruichi's Captain Test

"I just watched Captain Shikatori's assessment ceremony not long ago, and now I'm going to watch Captain Shikatori's disciple's assessment ceremony. Two captains have appeared in one month. Shikatori School is really thriving!" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki exclaimed.

"How about we send Nanao to the Shikatori Gym?"

Kyoraku Shunsui thought to himself.

He thought of his little niece, who was a little younger than the eldest daughter of the Kotetsu family, but they were still the same age. However, the difference in their strength was already like heaven and earth.

His elder brother and sister-in-law, who had passed away, left behind a daughter, Ise Nanao.

However, he has not yet reunited with his niece, Ise Nanao, who was adopted by a relative of the Ise family.

"Never mind... I don't have the right to send her to the Shikatori Dojo right now."

Kyoraku Shunsui touched the sword at his waist. The impact of that incident had not completely faded. If he were to acknowledge his niece, it might attract the attention of some people in the Ise family.

"Alas... perhaps we will only be able to recognize each other after the older generation of the Ise family has passed away."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed inwardly.

"Yoichi has grown up so fast, all thanks to Captain Shikatori's guidance. I can finally put down this burden," Bee Shadow Silk said with a light laugh.

She is now blind and deaf, making it difficult for her to even handle daily affairs. She has been looking forward to the day when Yoruichi will take over as captain for a long time.

Bee Shadow Veil's peak was before the establishment of the Thirteenth Division; even the first captain of the Second Division, Shihouin Senhi, could only be considered a junior.

She is already very old. After the previous head of the Shihouin family died in battle, she should not have become the captain of the second division.

However, Yoruichi Shihouin has not yet grown up, and the younger generation of the Hachi and Ōmaeda families is also disappointing, with no captain-level combat power among the new generation.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take on the heavy responsibility of being the captain of the second division.

"Yoruichi is finally able to take over the responsibilities of Captain Soi Fon," Jushiro Ukitake remarked with emotion.

"Yoruichi's growth to this point is also largely due to her own hard work." July was also very pleased, finally one of her disciples was going to become a captain.

"Captain Soi Fon, this is medicine to restore your energy." Retsu Unohana took out a bottle of medicine from the spiritual space pocket in her sleeve.

Given Bee Shadow's physical condition, she is no longer able to sustain an intense battle and needs medication to restore her energy.

"Then... let this old woman make the most of her remaining strength and see how far Yoruichi has grown."

After drinking the medicine handed to her by Unohana Retsu, Fengyingsha arrived in front of Shihouin Yoruichi.

"Captain Soi Fon, are you alright? How about we switch captains and fight each other?" Yoruichi Shihouin respected this old man who had worked hard for the Shihouin family and the Second Division his whole life.

"It's alright. Compared to that, I'd rather see your growth for myself, Yoruichi. Don't be afraid to use your full strength just because I'm older!"

Bee Shadow had a kind smile and looked like an ordinary, kind old woman.

"I will show you my strength!" Yoruichi Shihouin nodded seriously.

"Then let's begin, Yoruichi."

Bee Shadow's expression turned serious, and she opened her squinted eyes, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes.

Although her eyes were cloudy, Yoruichi could still sense a terrifying aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood from them.

Yoruichi drew her Zanpakuto, crossing her hands to hold the short sword horizontally in front of her:

"Swastika, Thunder Beast Armor!"

Lightning flashed on the Zanpakuto, and a violent surge of spiritual pressure rose in the air.

A thunderous roar echoed from the turbulent spiritual pressure.

Suddenly, a lightning claw tore through the spiritual pressure turbulence.

The Thunder Claw slammed towards Bee Shadow Veil at lightning speed.

Yoruichi underwent a period of closed training with her teacher, which deepened her control over the Bankai of her Zanpakuto.

The Thunder Beast created by Bankai is already as easy to control as an extension of one's own body, so there is no need to summon the entire Thunder Beast.

"Alright!" Bee Shadow Sha shouted softly, slamming her cane into the ground.

Bang!

The ground exploded with a loud bang.

Bee Shadow Veil's figure vanished instantly.

The Thunder Claw missed its target.

Bee Shadow Silk was even faster than Thunder!

"Captain Soi Fon is too fast! How can she achieve this speed with her ability to manipulate the air?!"

Kyoraku Shunsui exclaimed in amazement.

Bee Shadow's Zanpakuto can manipulate air and airflow, so she can increase her Shunpo speed by manipulating airflow.

"What's impressive isn't her ability, but rather that Captain Soi Fon is inherently very fast."

Unohana Retsu watched very carefully.

She rarely saw Bee Shadow Veil make a move.

During her time active in Soul Society, Bee Shadow Veil was a sharp dagger under the shadow of the Shihouin family; when she made a move, it was astonishing.

Bee Shadow appeared behind Yoruichi Shihouin, pointing her cane forward.

Wood chips flew everywhere, the cane cracked open, revealing a sharp knife inside.

"I'm waiting!" Yoruichi's short sword crackled with lightning, and a lightning claw surged from it, slapping towards Bee Shadow Veil behind her.

Yoruichi was also taught by Hachiko when she was young, so she knows very well how fast Hachiko's Shunpo speed is.

Bee Shadow's eyes narrowed, and the airflow from the tip of her blade suddenly exploded.

"Oh!"

Yoruichi felt a tremendous force coming from her and was instantly blasted away by the violent airflow.

Fortunately, the Thunder Beast's claws blocked her way, preventing her from suffering too much damage.

"The response has been good."

Bee Shadow smiled.

The tip of the knife lightly touched the ground.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Dozens of streams of air exploded from the ground, scattering sand and gravel, and the turbulent air cannons carrying sand and gravel hurtled toward Yoruichi in the air at high speed.

The captains watching couldn't help but think that after they finished fighting, the First Division might need to be renovated.

"Here it comes, it's this move!"

Yoruichi Shihōin's gaze sharpened.

Bee Shadow had demonstrated this move to her before.

Before this, she could hardly even get close to him.

But it’s different now!

Yoruichi Shihouin moved swiftly, dodging the air cannon attacks.

At the same time, lightning flashed across the short sword in his hand, and a lightning claw grabbed the blade.

Noisy!

Before the sound of lightning crackling could be heard.

A beam of lightning flashed out.

Thunder Beast Armor - Flowing Light!

Yoruichi Shihouin used Thunder Claw as a sheath to unleash Stream of Light, and at the same time, she carried the lightning from Thunder Claw with her.

This is a strike that combines the power of the Thunder Claw!

The lightning blade descended from top to bottom, instantly disintegrating the air cannons along its path into spiritual pressure turbulence.

The blade flashed, tearing through the turbulent currents, and arrived in front of Bee Shadow Veil in an instant.
