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

He remembered that he hadn't offended Jadis the last time he saw her.

"I heard that the Flying Kick you taught can explode," Gatis sneered. "This is the first time I've heard such a joke. It's utter nonsense! How many merits did you cheat Litoto out of?

"Litoto has the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

July realized that Jadis had been drawn there by the explosion.

"That's my problem, it has nothing to do with the teacher!" Bambieta retorted loudly as soon as she saw someone questioning the teacher, much like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"She's the same Bambi who imitated the Flying Leopard kick? She's more than just a little stupid, she's been tricked into having a crippled leg!" Jadis sighed, feeling exasperated.

This person's foot injury hasn't healed yet, and she's still defending her fraudulent teacher!

"What did you say!" Bambieta's fist hardened.

"You're overthinking it. With my abilities, I'm more than capable of teaching them."

July realized it was a misunderstanding, and that Jadis was actually thinking of her disciples, so she didn't take her offense to heart.

"If you don't believe me, you can come and try it," July said with a smile.

"If you lose, you'll have to pay them back the money you swindled!"

Jadis took out the standard spirit bow and aimed it at July.

"Let me see if you're really capable!" Gatis drew her bow, intending to shoot a spirit arrow.

However, she was stunned the next moment.

He drew back the bowstring, but shot an empty arrow.

"what?!"

Jadis discovered that she was unable to extract the spiritual energy from the courtyard.

All those spiritual particles surged towards the opposite side.

Fine beads of sweat trickled down Jadis's fair cheeks; she knew she had done something incredibly foolish.

The difference in their abilities is too great!

Since the Spirit Particle Clustering ability controls external Spirit Particles, at such close range, Gadis simply cannot compete with July for control of the Spirit Particles.

"Keep being arrogant! I already said it was my problem, how dare you question the teacher!" Bambietta immediately kicked him while he was down.

Jadis felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and couldn't care less about Bambietta.

“I shouldn’t have offended you, Lord Kurosaki.” Gadis recalled the name she had written down last time, her heart leaping into her throat.

"It's understandable that you don't know the details," July nodded gently, "but..."

The word "but" made Jadis, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, tense up again.

"This is an apology, please accept it, Lord Kurosaki!" Jadis quickly took out her money pouch and handed it over.

"Well... you just didn't want them to be fooled." July nodded and accepted the apology.

"Do you need any disciples? I want to become your apprentice. I'm quite talented and learn things very quickly. I was always number one in basic training! From now on, I can give you all the merit points I receive every month!" Jadis gritted her teeth and suddenly said.

The strength shown in July was too great.

This caused a huge shock to Jadis.

Before this, the strongest Quincy that Gatiss knew was an instructor at the recruit camp.

But none of the instructors could completely take control of Lingzi in front of her.

In comparison, the instructors in the recruit camp are far inferior; the two are worlds apart.

This Quincy has just returned from the mortal world and has already taken on a disciple. He might even be considering taking on more disciples. Gatis wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

[Catetis Katnip requests to become an apprentice; will you accept her as a personal disciple?]

"Hmm... I'll accept you because of your sincerity." July pondered for a moment and then agreed. "However, once you've joined my sect, you must be loyal to the sect and not betray it, otherwise I will personally eliminate you from the sect."

He didn't want to miss out on Jadis, so naturally he wouldn't refuse to accept her.

"Yes, teacher! I will be loyal to you and will never betray you!" Jadis was overjoyed and her spirits lifted.

[Gatis Katnip's reputation level has increased; current reputation level is Friendly.]

“Lucky girl.” Bambieta pouted. She hadn’t forgotten that Gatiss had called her stupid, but now she wasn’t the youngest anymore. “Call me ‘senior sister’ a few times.”

"Teacher, I still have to be on duty and can't stay here for too long." Jadis pretended not to hear.

"You should also be participating in the Sternritter recruitment, right? Why didn't you ask for leave to prepare?" July asked.

As far as he knew, many soldiers were now on leave to prepare for the recruitment of the Sternritter.

Furthermore, the Sternritter also attached great importance to this recruitment, and the soldiers' leave requests were basically approved.

“Military police can only take turns taking leave.” Jadis shook her head. “Someone has to do the duty. I have an hour before my shift ends, I’ll come back later!”

Chapter 338 The Cruel Hunt

"I've mastered the Flying Blade Kick!"

After flying around in the air a few times, Bambieta landed, seemingly still wanting more.

"I really am a genius! I learned the Flying Kick in just one day!"

After experiencing some minor setbacks, Bambieta finally learned the Flying Kick successfully.

Because she couldn't yet control her 'critical strike' talent, she was prone to explosions when using Flying Kick, which made her learning process somewhat difficult.

“That’s impressive, but I only used it for one morning,” Litoto said calmly.

“Who asked you!” Bambieta rolled her eyes.

After Bambieta learned the Flying Kick, July also received a system notification:

[Disciple Bambieta Basta has completed her Flying Kick training; rewards have been distributed.]

[Reward: 2000 Universal Experience Points]

On the other side, Gatis and Minina are fighting.

In July, wanting to test Jadis's strength, he had them spar.

sizzle-

Jadis raised her hand, and the lightning she had gathered in her hand raged through the air.

She is also a Quincy with the talent to convert spiritual particles in the air into lightning to strike her opponents.

Minina was trying her best to avoid the incoming lightning.

"You're hiding very well. How many training camps have you gone through?" Jadis asked.

Becoming a qualified Quincy requires learning a great deal, and the training programs at recruit training camps are diverse. It takes an ordinary Quincy soldier more than ten years to complete the full training.

However, Quincy geniuses like Gatis and Minina cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

Quincy with outstanding performance can "skip a grade".

“Twice,” Minina replied curtly. Gatiss’s attacks were so fast and frequent that she had little room for small talk.

"You managed to dodge so many of my attacks in just two tries?" Gatis was somewhat surprised; Minina's performance exceeded her expectations. "The fourth training camp is where you learn how to dodge dense attacks, right?"

Having just completed the fourth training camp, Gatiss's abilities should be far superior to Minina's.

"My teacher taught me!"

Having experienced the barrage of attacks from her teacher, Minina didn't find it difficult to dodge Gatiss's attacks.

The next instant, Minina drifted behind Gatis, riding the surging stream of spiritual energy.

"A normal punch!"

Minina's punch toward Gatis looked unremarkable, but it actually contained astonishing power.

After several days of training, Minina has improved her ability to use her spiritual pressure. She can now use spiritual pressure to enhance her power, whereas before she could only rely on instinct to exert her power.

Jadis raised her hand to block, a ball of lightning in her hand. She used to use this move to defend against melee attacks, and often the enemy would be paralyzed by the lightning ball before they could even hit her.

bang——

To Gatiss's astonishment, Minina's seemingly ordinary fist had actually defeated the lightning group.

Jadis's arm was struck hard, and she fell straight down from the sky.

"How can your fists be so powerful!" Jadis rubbed her arm through her gloves, feeling that the area she rubbed was already swollen.

“I’m quite strong~” Minina rolled up her sleeves to show Jadis her not-so-obvious muscles.

"It was my carelessness." Jadis was somewhat annoyed. Her arm was swollen and numb, which greatly affected her performance. She had lost this battle.

She didn't expect that being punched would have such a big impact.

Minina and Gatis are actually about the same strength, but Minina's ability is more secretive and not easy to detect. Without the Bloodlust Armor, being hit by Minina will result in serious injury.

“I understand your situation. Your use of lightning is lacking; the lightning is too scattered, resulting in insufficient power.” July paused and said, “You and Minina will both participate in the recruitment of the Sternritter. You can practice more these few days to improve your combat skills.”

“Lightning is really hard to control…” Gadis scratched her face, looking somewhat troubled. “Just controlling the direction of their attacks is difficult enough.”

Jadis has not developed her lightning abilities to a high degree.

"You still need to practice your spiritual pressure control. Once you've mastered that, controlling lightning won't be difficult. These are spiritual tools that can aid in your training. You and Bambi each have a pair."

In July, he took out two pairs of wrist guards from Lingzi's pocket. When he was preparing wrist guards for Litoto, he had prepared several extra sets to avoid having to run back and forth.

"Litoto, teach them how to use it. Minina, let's begin today's dodge training."

In July, we will continue to train Minina's dodging skills.

Zero Frame raised his hand, and a dense rain of spirit arrows attacked Minina.

"Not good!" Minina quickly used her Flying Kick to take to the air and dodge the rain of spirit arrows.

"No wonder she's so good at dodging!" After watching for a while, Gatis finally understood why her lightning couldn't hit Minina.

Compared to the teacher's torrential downpour of attacks, her offensive was nothing more than a drizzle.

“You need to practice this too,” July said.

"Then I have to find a way to squeeze out some time... I still have to do patrol duties, it's so annoying!" Jadis scratched her hair, looking very annoyed. "Everyone says that military police can't take leave, but our sergeant major pushed all the tasks onto us and went to find the instructor for special training himself!"

“You can use the magical artifacts your teacher gave you to train while you’re on patrol,” Litoto said pragmatically. “Once you become an officer in Silverframe City, you can kick your sergeant major however you want.”

“That’s true, I have to make the most of this opportunity!” Gatis calmed down and listened to Litoto explain how to train using the spirit tool.

...

A few days later, the day for the Sternritter to recruit new members arrived as scheduled.

The Quincy of the Wandenreich gathered in the open square outside the city. Most of them were going to participate in the selection, while others came to observe.

In the center of the square, the examiners are reading out the selection rules.

"Didn't they always select contestants through tournaments in the past? Why did they change it like this?"

"...This method...is driving people to their doom..."

The new selection rules caused a huge uproar within the Quincy, with some astute soldiers already recognizing the dangers involved.

July and her disciples were also in the crowd; July, Minina, and Gatis also needed to participate in this selection.

"Only one out of every 100 people participating in the selection process will pass the test?" Bambieta frowned. "That's too dangerous!"

“Idiot, only those currently ranked first can leave the hunting grounds,” Litoto analyzed. “If the first-ranked person leaves, the second-ranked person becomes the first, so actually multiple people can leave the hunting grounds... However... the number of Quincy in the hunting grounds will decrease, and if the Hollows inside are very powerful, the longer you stay in the hunting grounds, the more dangerous it will be.”

The examiner did not disclose the level of the Hollows in the hunting grounds, but based on the rules, Litoto deduced that the Hollows in the hunting grounds would probably not be easy to deal with. The hunting grounds were isolated by a spiritual barrier, and it was impossible to perceive the situation inside through spiritual senses.

“Litoto’s analysis makes a lot of sense. You must not let your guard down once you go in.” July was unsure if she would be grouped with Minina and Gatis, so she warned, “Moreover, participants can not only gain points by hunting Hollows, but also steal points from other participants. Be wary of other Quincy once you go in.”

Minina and Gatis are still just undeveloped geniuses, not yet capable of standing on their own. July doesn't want them to perish here.

"Well, I'll be careful!"

"understand!"

Minina and Gatis nodded repeatedly.

“It’s a pity I’m not a soldier yet…” Bambietta stared in the direction of the hunting grounds. This recruitment was only for soldiers and Quincy who had returned from the human world. Neither she nor Litoto were soldiers, so they couldn’t participate in this recruitment.

"quiet!"
