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

July spoke ambiguously.

There used to be a Quincy settlement near Karakura Town, where the Kurosaki clan was a large clan, so it's highly likely that Kurosaki Tsukizaki had a sister from a collateral branch.

"It turns out to be a branch that split off from Karakura Town. The Kurosaki clan there is on good terms with the Ishida clan. I used to occasionally go back there to worship my ancestors."

Ishida Sogen had no doubts. "However, the Quincy settlement in Karakura Town was destroyed by the Shinigami twenty or thirty years ago. The Kurosaki and Ishida clans there have also perished, leaving only a few scattered clansmen scattered in various places."

"Hmm... I've also lost contact with the Kurosaki clan over there."

July was telling the truth, although he had never had any contact with the Kurosaki family in Karakura Town.

“I have met some of the Kurosaki clan members who escaped from that settlement…” Ishida Muneaki said. “They are Ms. Tsukisaki’s younger brother and sister. Speaking of which, you are their older sister, aren’t you?”

"Kurosaki Ichiryu? Kurosaki Misaki?"

In July, he remembered the two children he had promised Kurosaki Tsukisaki to let go. He glanced at their profiles as he passed by.

Fortunately, after his spirit became powerful, his memory became excellent, and he could even recall some small details that he would have forgotten in the past.

"Yes, that's them."

Upon hearing the name, Ishida Sogen believed Kurosaki's story even more.

Kurosaki Ichiryu and Kurosaki Misaki are currently living in seclusion in a remote mountain village in the modern world, and very few people know their names anymore.

However, he didn't have much doubt about "Kurosaki Hanasaki" from the beginning, after all, her appearance was good proof.

Do you have any other members of your tribe?

Ishida Sogen continued to ask if he planned to go to the real world again to bring "Kurosaki Hazaki" and other family members to the war-torn region.

"No, I'm the only one left."

I'm sorry... I brought up something that saddened you.

"It's nothing, it all happened a long time ago."

“You are a Quincy born in the present world, which is different from the others... The others are basically Quincy who came from here, or their offspring.”

Ishida Munen thought for a moment and said, "Let me take you to verify your identity, otherwise there might be some trouble."

As an outsider with no background, it is not easy for "Kurosaki Hanasaki" to prove her identity.

Ishida Muneaki intends to personally endorse "Kurosaki Hazaki," since she is a relative of his old friend.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Ishida."

July was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that the most difficult thing about infiltrating the Quincy would be solved so easily.

"No need to be so formal. Ms. Tsukizaki and I are old friends. You can just call me Zongxian."

Ishida Munen gently shook his head.

A moment later, Ishida Muneaki brought the July spirit puppet to the government palace in the outer city.

"Lord Ishida!"

The guards saluted respectfully.

Ishida Sogen's Sternritter identity was very useful; he could travel smoothly even with a stranger by his side.

The government service officers at the government palace did not dare to delay and completed the registration of "Kurosaki Hazaki's" identity information as quickly as possible.

"The data has been entered."

The military officer handed over two documents, saying, "These are the residences you can choose from."

Under the identity of "Kurosaki Hanasaki", she was allocated a residence in the outer city.

This is thanks to Ishida Sogen; in July, she can freely choose the location of her residence. If other people come, they have no options and can only wait for assignment.

In July, after receiving the information, he needed to find a location as close as possible to Silver City for future operations.

"I have something to do, so I have to go now. If you need anything, you can use this to contact me." Ishida Munen tossed a badge to July, a spiritual tool similar to a messenger.

He accepted the badge in July. There were many people on the way, so he did not discuss anything else with Ishida Sogen.

You can use the badge to contact Ishida Sogen separately and probe for information about Yhwach.

"And this... Silverframe City Pass." The government soldier handed July a metal card. "The Sternritter's recruitment ceremony will be held in a few days. When you enter Silverframe City, show this card to pass through the city's barrier. This card is only valid on that day, so don't trespass. That's a serious crime."

Silverframe City has a higher level of protection than the outer city, with a separate barrier that prevents even soldiers from the outer city from passing through without authorization.

"understood."

July is currently considering something: whether or not to participate in the so-called Sternritter recruitment ceremony.

"I already know Ishida Muneaki's identity as 'Kurosaki Hazaki' and have an identity in the Wandenreich... There are advantages and disadvantages. It makes it easier for me to gather information, but if I disappear without a trace, the Quincy will notice."

In July, he planned to take advantage of the Sternritter's recruitment ceremony to infiltrate Silverframe City and retain his Quincy identity for as long as possible.

...

In July, I arrived at my assigned residence and looked up to see the walls of Silverframe City.

This building is only a hundred meters away from the city wall of Silverframe City, making it the closest building to the city wall.

Between the buildings and the city walls was a wide-open space.

"The Quincy soldiers here aren't much better than Quincy in the real world... but in this environment with such a high concentration of spiritual particles, the strength they can unleash is probably far greater than in the real world." July kept checking the stats of the Quincy she encountered along the way.

"Get out of the way!"

A voice came from behind.

I turned my head and looked, but I didn't see anyone at all.

The person was blocked by the stone slab.

"Do you need help?"

July knew these were soldiers who had come to build houses.

His assigned residence hasn't been built yet.

"Huh?" A voice came from behind the stone slab, seemingly incredulous.

In the invisible empire, everyone is a soldier, and each person has their own job. Building houses is the job of the engineering corps.

"Do you know how to build a house?" A pinkish-purple head popped out from behind the stone slab.

"Probably not..." July answered honestly.

"Then what do you say!" The pink-haired engineer pushed aside the people blocking his way and carried the stone slab, which was several meters high, to its destination.

"They're already doing work in such a small place?"

The pink-haired engineering soldier looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

However, the Quincy of the Wandenreich are also spirits and cannot be compared to human ages.

"You underestimate me?" The pink-haired engineer curled his lip. "I might be stronger than you!"

In July, I casually glanced at the engineer's stats:

Minina McCarron

[Talent: S]

【Spiritual Particle Cluster: lv40】

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

This engineer is actually a Quincy with S-rank talent!

He remembered this Minina; she was one of the future members of the girl group.

"Minina is still developing... Could we turn her to our side?"

After recognizing Minina in July, a new idea immediately formed in his mind.

"Perhaps we should try... to see if we can take the master away and make him our disciple..."

July's strength has reached a bottleneck, and the subsequent improvement in spiritual pressure and spiritual particle clusters is very slow.

Once your spiritual pressure reaches level 95, it takes 500000 universal experience points to level up. If you want to continue leveling up, there is still a huge experience gap.

However, most of the new generation of talents on the Shinigami side have become his disciples, and the next wave of geniuses in the Soul Society will not arrive for several decades or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, it is relatively difficult for July to obtain a large amount of general experience from the Grim Reaper in a short period of time.

"Let's see if we can guide them a bit."

In July, having made up her mind that since this skeletal puppet needed to stay in the Unseen Empire to gather information anyway, she might as well try to turn Minina McCarron against him.

The possibility of defection cannot be ruled out; the future that Yhwach promised to the Quincy does not include a place for Minina McCarron.

Yhwach was also extremely cruel to his people.

The vast majority of Sternritter members are merely Yhwach's backup energy source.

Those Sternritter members deemed unnecessary will become targets of Yhwach's "sanctification," draining their power and potentially causing their deaths.

"Moreover... the Knights who haven't fully matured yet, there might not be just Minina... we need to explore the city more thoroughly."

In July, I plan to thoroughly search the residential area to see if there are any other future Sternritter members.

“Since you’re just sitting around doing nothing, I’ll lend you a hand. I may not know how to build a house, but I can still move things.”

July stepped forward and said.

"Do you live in this house?"

Minina began to realize what was happening.

"Yes, the house you're building now is the one I live in."

July nodded.

"What a kind person!" Minina smiled slightly. "Then let me cover you up a bit better!"

The Quincy were very efficient; with the help of their spiritual abilities, the two of them built a two-story house in a single day.

"Is this a better-looking design?" July asked, puzzled by Minina's taste. "Isn't this shape a bit strange? It looks a bit like... a millstone?"

“Cake!” Minina quickly stopped herself, correcting July’s mistake. “This is clearly a cake!”

The house was built by Minina as a two-story structure, one large and one small, and it was circular, looking like two white millstones of different sizes stacked together.

"Painting the buildings isn't allowed here, otherwise it would look even more realistic..."

Minina pouted, seemingly disappointed that the building couldn't perfectly replicate the cake's appearance.

Chapter 332 The First Quincy Disciple

After the house was completed, Minina planned to leave immediately.

"You've worked hard, Minina. Come in and have a cup of tea." July took some things out of the supply package she received. "You are really strong. Such a small body contains such strength."

In July, it was noticed that Minina moved heavy objects effortlessly, and that it was purely due to her own strength, without using her blood armor abilities to enhance her power.

“I’m incredibly strong!” Minina raised her hand, showing off her arms, which didn’t look particularly strong.

"Your Blood Armor is also very powerful; it can move things that require machinery!" Minina said with envy. "It's a pity my merits aren't enough yet. I need to accumulate a few more years before I can learn Blood Armor abilities. Mastering Blood Armor abilities is like having one foot in the door of becoming an elite Quincy..."

"Do you need merit points to learn blood armor abilities here?" July asked curiously.

The Invisible Empire has a merit-based currency system, which soldiers use for their daily expenses and the purchase of supplies.

“You didn’t know?” Minina remembered that 'Kurosaki Hanasaki' came from the present world. “Oh right... you came from the present world.”

“Our training doesn’t include Blood Gear. The instructors in the outer city won’t teach us Blood Gear, unless… we spend merit points to hire a private instructor,” Minina explained.

"I see..." July's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled. "I'm a Quincy born in the modern world. I haven't been assigned a position, and I have no source of merit, so living here is quite inconvenient..."

Those Quincy who return are immediately assigned to positions, usually the same positions they held before going to the human world.

Kurosaki Hazaki is a Quincy born in the modern world. She will not be assigned a position in the short term, and therefore has no source of merit.

"Minina, are you interested in training with me?" July asked, seizing the opportunity.

“Ah…but I don’t have that many merits…” Minina seemed eager to agree, but was frustrated by her lack of merits. “I’m a new recruit, and I’ve only managed to save a little over two thousand merits each month by living frugally…a private lesson costs tens of thousands!”

"Tuition can be paid in installments," July continued to tempt her. "You just need to give me a portion of merit points each month."

"Is this okay?!" Minina was intrigued; this was an opportunity for her to learn the Blood Armor ability ahead of time.
