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

The examiner's voice, like a muffled thunderclap, drowned out the noise.

"The selection process is officially beginning. All participants, come and line up here to enter the hunting grounds!" the examiner continued.

"Great!" Minina clapped her hands. "It seems there are no restrictions on teaming up with acquaintances!"

“We can be in a group with the teacher!” Jadis also felt that the selection was in the bag.

With points that can be stolen, teaming up with strangers carries the risk of being betrayed at any time, while acting alone makes you an easy target for the group. Therefore, teaming up with acquaintances is the best option.

“That turns it into a team battle…” Litoto stroked her chin and analyzed, “The intensity of the battle will probably be even greater.”

"Do the Sternritter not care at all about the lives of the soldiers in the outer city..."

July frowned, thinking of the Quincy war in the present world.

After these days of investigation, he has confirmed that the Quincy in this war are basically soldiers from the Wandenreich and their descendants in the mortal world.

"Are they deliberately sending their soldiers to their deaths?"

July was startled.

Based on his understanding of Yhwach, the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the answer.

Yhwach is actively reclaiming his power!

"Could it be that since the Holy Seal cannot be used while the body is in a dormant state, this is how it recovers its power?"

July's heart sank. If what he expected was true, then Yhwach's current state was probably different from his original state in the timeline.

However, from another perspective, it's more likely that Yhwach hasn't awakened yet, otherwise he wouldn't need to reclaim his power in this way.

"It cannot be done as he wishes."

They started plotting how to sabotage the selection process in July.

If it's really as he thinks, and this recruitment is actually helping Yhwach regain his power, then he has to interfere. He needs to delay Yhwach's recovery as much as possible.

“This selection process is not easy. Litoto and Bambi shouldn’t stay here.” July told Litoto and Bambi to leave first. “Go back and pack your things, and prepare to leave.”

"Leave?" Bambietta didn't understand.

"Is it that serious?" Litoto frowned. "But if we leave, where can we go?"

“The war in this world is over. We can find a suitable place to cultivate ourselves and live in seclusion,” July said. “Things may not necessarily get that bad, but it’s better to be prepared.”

"Understood, teacher, be careful." Litoto pulled the bewildered Bambieta away.

"Follow me, we'll be the first group to go in." July assessed the strength of the spiritual barrier in the hunting grounds and was confident in leading her disciples out.

“Okay!” Minina and Jadis nodded.

The three of them got a turn in July without any problems. Many people were just waiting to see how things went, so they weren't very enthusiastic about queuing up.

However, those groups that are willing to be ranked in the first round are basically the stronger groups, and they all have enough confidence in their team's strength.

"...Once you enter, the hunt will begin immediately, so please don't let your guard down." The examiner led everyone to the entrance of the hunting grounds and explained the rules again.

In July, the three of them followed the crowd and entered the hunting grounds one by one.

There is some kind of spiritual energy incantation at the entrance to the hunting grounds.

Upon entering the hunting grounds in July, I felt a sudden dizziness.

"Teleportation spell..."

July looked around and saw that there was no one there.

The entrance to the hunting grounds has a teleportation function, which disperses groups of people.

"Scattering makes conflict more likely... and once they regroup, it's even easier for a fight to break out..."

July felt that the design of this selection and assessment process was designed to encourage the participants to fight each other.

“Minina and Gatis are in different directions. Find them first and meet up with them.”

In July, sensing the disciples' location, she chose to meet up with the nearest disciple first.

The hunting grounds simulate the environment of the Hollow Forest in Hueco Mundo: pale, gloomy, and desolate, with towering rock pillars everywhere.

"what--"

Screams could be heard from afar; some lone Quincy had been ambushed by Hollows and died a gruesome death in their mouths.

July's left hand lashed out at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the Holy Annihilation Arrow pierced through a Hollow that was attempting to ambush him.

"Awooo—" the Great Hollow let out a mournful cry and plummeted down.

"The Hollows released into the hunting grounds were actually Hollow Grands..."

July's keen spiritual senses had already detected the spiritual pressure fluctuations of many Hollows.

"This is the token for the points."

In July, I noticed a particularly bright mark on the corner of the Hollow's mask.

Breaking off the corner, the bright mark transformed into spiritual particles and floated into the bracelet that had been assigned to me upon entry.

In the hunting grounds, the Hollows' masks are marked. Participants who kill Hollows obtain these marked mask fragments and thus earn points.

“Come out, I ‘see’ you.”

In July, I turned my head to look at the right side of the rocky forest.

"Oh no, we've been found out! How scary!"

The three Quincy emerged from the rocky forest.

These three Quincy were lucky; they landed near their companions at the beginning, allowing them to regroup in the shortest possible time.

“You don’t seem to be a soldier. I don’t recall you being taught. You must be a Quincy who returned from the human world.” The leading Quincy paused and said, “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Keith Fleck, an instructor in the 6th Military Police Regiment.”

"So you're instructors from the Military Police." July chuckled lightly. "You want these points? It's only just begun, and you're already so eager to grab them?"

“No, we’re here to invite you to join us!” another Quincy said.

Chapter 339 The Hunt in Progress

July sized up the three Quincy who emerged from the rock pillar forest.

The leader of the Quincy was quite powerful and even claimed to be an instructor of the Military Police.

However, what caught July's attention even more was another Quincy who hopped out.

This Quincy, who looks like she's trying to be cute, is wearing a skirt-style coat, black tights, and white boots. She appears to be a petite and adorable girl.

However, his striking appearance reminded July of who he was.

The Quincy who's being cute has a sweet face and long, straight black hair, but the two strands of hair sticking up on top of her head look somewhat like the whiskers of some kind of twin-tailed fairy.

Gisele, the tomboy in a girl group!

Gisele Jules

[Talent: S]

【Spiritual Particle Cluster: lv55】

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

July glanced at the panel and confirmed her guess.

"He's a promising talent...it's a pity now isn't the right time."

The girl group has five members in total, and in July, four of them were accepted as disciples.

A few days ago, when he was wandering around the city, he also tried to find Giselle and other Quincy with the potential to become members of the Sternritter.

Perhaps I used up all my luck in the first two days, because I didn't encounter any other good seedlings in the following days.

"Want to team up? Instructor Fleck is really good!" Giselle said with an innocent smile.

“Yes, Instructor Fleck is a bit strict, but he’s a very good person. You can rest assured with him around. We can work together to get out of the hunting grounds,” another Quincy said gently.

“Dividing tasks among many people can speed up the hunt for Hollows,” Instructor Fleck nodded. “We can allocate points according to contributions to the team, so you won’t be at a disadvantage.”

The three seemed very sincere, but July didn't plan to join them.

"No need, I need to meet up with my companions."

He declined their invitation because he needed to meet up with two disciples in July.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about that then,” Instructor Fleck said politely. “However, if you still wish to cooperate with us after finding your partners, you are welcome to do so at any time.”

They witnessed how July easily defeated a Hollow and didn't want to clash with such a powerful being.

"it is good."

July nodded and left.

After leaving in July, Instructor Flake said to the two men with great concern:

"Let's get moving too, and quickly assemble the soldiers of the Sixth Military Police Regiment."

Instructor Flake had a bad feeling. He had originally planned to put the soldiers of the Sixth Military Police Regiment together so that they could minimize casualties by fighting as a group.

But his superiors wouldn't allow him to do that.

In the same hunt, each legion is only allowed to send a maximum of ten people, which directly disrupts the competition between legions that usually compete with each other and mixes them together.

...

July quickly found Minina, who was being attacked by two Gillian Menos Grande.

In just ten days of training, Minina has become a completely different person.

Thanks to its speed advantage, it seemed to be able to handle the attack from the two Gillian Hollows with some ease.

"A normal punch!"

Some blue lines appeared on Minina's right arm.

Bloodstained armor!

Minina spent seven days completing the training of the five modes of the wrist guard artifact.

She has now begun her training in Blood Armor.

However, her blood armor cannot yet cover her entire body; currently, it only covers the area of ​​her arms.

Even so, the power boost from the Bloodstained Armor should not be underestimated.

The combination of the Bloodlust Armor and the Strength talent is perfect, making her attacks several times more powerful.

boom!

The punch landed on the mask of the Hollow King Gillian, shattering it instantly.

"Ow!!!"

Gillian Hollow instantly entered a state of berserk rage.

The illusion is crucial for the Void, as it is a position that cannot be restored through regeneration.

If the mask is damaged, it will lose the possibility of continuing to evolve.

A Hollow Flash condensed in the mouth of the Gillian Hollow.

"Too slow!" Minina's fists transformed into a flurry of punches, "A barrage of normal punches!"

bang bang bang-

Minina's fist landed on the head of the Gillian Hollow, causing bursts of blood mist to erupt from its head. The Cero in its mouth could no longer condense and dissipated.

However, just as Minina was throwing a powerful punch, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Hollow, another Gillian Hollow appeared behind her.

Minina quickly activated her Flying Kick to dodge Gillian's attack.

"Oh no, there are more and more of them!"

Minina glanced back at the Hollow she had severely injured, whose wounds were regenerating at an extremely rapid pace, and a thought of retreat began to cross her mind.

Gillian Hollows are thick-skinned and resilient, and her attacks can damage them, but they cannot kill them in one hit. It would probably take a lot of effort to completely defeat a Hollow.

If this drags on, the roars of the Hollows will attract more and more Hollows, making the situation increasingly unfavorable for her. If she continues to entangle herself here, she will eventually be dragged down and killed.

It would be better to take advantage of our good condition and retreat to reunite with the teacher and Jadis.
