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

Under normal circumstances, when other Shinigami's Zanpakuto materialize, only the Shinigami themselves can see it.

The same applies to 'Shadow Princess' in July; when she materializes, she is invisible to others.

Kusajishi Yachiru is quite special; she possesses a spirit body and even has her own Zanpakuto, but her spiritual pressure cannot be detected at a definite value.

The spiky-haired youth's stats were even more impressive; he didn't even have a name, his talent was listed as 'incomplete,' and his spiritual pressure was displayed as 'sealed.'

"Do you have a name?"

July was a little curious as to why the future Kenpachi Zaraki didn't have a name.

“Ah Jian will be called Ah Jian.”

Kusajika Yachiru lay on a broad shoulder, only her pink head peeking out.

“That’s not my name.” The spiky-haired youth curled his lip, disagreeing with Kusajishi Yachiru’s statement. “I won’t have any other name until I take the name Kenpachi.”

He believes that he will only have one name, which is 'Kenpachi Zaraki', Kenpachi from Zaraki.

"Wanting to become Kenpachi? That's quite ambitious," July chuckled. "I just don't know if your skills match that ambition."

"If it weren't for Yachiru giving me the wrong directions, I would have found Seireitei by now!" The spiky-haired youth grinned. "You're the leader of those small fry, so you must be a Shinigami captain, right? Before finding Kenpachi, I'll use you as a practice subject!"

He was a battle maniac who had enjoyed fighting since he could remember, and he had almost never lost.

He only ever failed with one very formidable woman.

Later, after hearing that Kenpachi was the strongest Shinigami captain, he suspected that the powerful woman he had encountered was Kenpachi.

Therefore, he always wanted to go to Seireitei and fight Kenpachi.

Unfortunately, he had no sense of direction, and his guide, Kusajishi Yachiru, kept giving him the wrong directions, so he never managed to find Seireitei.

"Want to fight me?" July didn't refuse the fight, but she didn't agree right away either. "But I'm very busy. It would be a huge loss to waste time with you. If you lose, you have to promise me one thing."

“No problem.” The spiky-haired youth never thought he would lose and immediately agreed.

"What if Akane wins?" Kusajishi Yachiru raised her little hand.

"You can't find Seireitei, right? If you win, I'll be your guide and take you there. I can even help you find the current Kenpachi!" July didn't think she would lose, so she directly placed Kuruyashiki Kenpachi on the betting table.

"I like this prize!" The spiky-haired youth's spirits soared.

"Go, Ken!" Kusajiro Yachiru jumped off the spiky-haired youth's shoulder and cheered him on from the side.

At the same time, July noticed that the spiky-haired youth's spiritual pressure was also surging.

In just a short while, he went from level 80 to level 85, which is stronger than many current vice captains!

"Interesting. So, when one's fighting spirit is high, the seal on spiritual pressure loosens...?"

While July was pondering, the other party's knife had already come slashing down.

He drew his sword to parry, deflecting the incoming blade.

clang--!

In July, she wanted to test the changes in the spiky-haired youth's spiritual pressure, suppressing her own spiritual pressure to a level comparable to his.

The spiky-haired youth's knife skills were haphazard, but they had their advantages: speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness honed through real combat!

The blades flashed rapidly, all aimed at July's throat, heart, abdomen, and other vital areas.

But July instantly saw through his fighting style and anticipated it, making his attacks seem like they were deliberately running into him.

Dang Dang Dang——

The spiky-haired youth felt his hands, which were tingling from the vibration, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

But he only froze for a moment, and the next moment, he put on an excited and ferocious smile.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

The spiky-haired youth seemed possessed, relentlessly slashing at July.

His sword moved faster and faster, and his spiritual pressure surged accordingly.

July calmly deflected all the slashes; none of the countless blades could land on him.

At the same time, he was also watching the changes in spiritual pressure on the panel.

86 ...

88 ...

90 ...

As the spiky-haired youth fought, his spiritual pressure rose to the level of a captain!

However, that's all; his spiritual pressure seal will not be further broken until he is injured.

"We can't let you keep rising, otherwise it'll be difficult to teach you later."

July felt that she had mastered the correct way to activate 'Kenpachi Zaraki' and intended to end the battle.

clang--!

The tip of the blade struck near the hilt, and the spiky-haired youth's hand went numb from the force transmitted through the hilt, causing the broken knife to fly out of his grasp instantly.

"you lose."

July pressed the blade of her knife against the spiky-haired youth's neck.

"I can still fight!"

The warm-up isn't over yet!

The spiky-haired youth felt that he hadn't been injured yet, so how could he be considered to have lost?

"Are you such a sore loser?" July frowned slightly and provoked him, "The name Kenpachi is a title for a swordsman. How can someone who can't even hold a sword be qualified to bear the name Kenpachi?"

The spiky-haired youth's face darkened. He had just said he wanted to take down Kenpachi's name, so he had to give up the idea of ​​continuing the fight.

"I will defeat Kenpachi and take his name!" The spiky-haired youth picked up his sword, slung it over his shoulder, and asked, "So, what are your demands?"

Since he had lost, he didn't intend to renege on his debt.

"Your talent is quite good. Become my disciple, and I can teach you swordsmanship." July's lips curled up slightly. "The title 'Kenpachi' is a swordsman's name, but you don't understand swordsmanship at all. How can you be qualified to bear the title of 'Kenpachi'?"

"Huh?" The spiky-haired youth was completely stunned; he never expected the other party to make such a request.

Chapter 400 Accepting a Disciple

"Is Yachiru calling you Ken? I'll call you Ken from now on too. Ken from Zaraki Ward, let's call you Zaraki Ken."

In July, he took the future Kenpachi Zaraki as his disciple.

But he's not Kenpachi yet, so we can't call him Kenpachi Zaraki.

"Whatever, I'll take the title of Kenpachi anyway."

Zaraki Aken curled his lip. He didn't feel anything when Yachiru called him that, but when others called him by that name, he felt like a nobody.

However, he is not Kenpachi yet, so he can only accept this name.

"Is the teacher taking us to Seireitei?"

Kusajiro Yachiru also called out to Shichizuki-sensei along with Ken Zaraki.

"Ah Jian just lost, and you still want me to lead the way? You'd better train with me for a few years first!"

July rubbed the head of the grass deer, Baqianliu, which was pink and fluffy.

Although Kusajishi Yachiru's Bankai is that of the rough and uncouth Ken Zaraki, her cuteness is irresistible.

"Now I'm taking you to the dojo. Besides practicing swordsmanship with me, I plan to arrange for you to study at the Spirit Arts Academy for a period of time."

Currently, Kenzaraki and Yachiru Kusajiro are actually illiterate. In July, they plan to send them to the Spirit Arts Academy to study general education courses for a period of time.

However, it was mainly Kusajishi Yachiru who learned from him. Kusajishi Yachiru can be said to be Ken's external brain. If Kusajishi Yachiru learned from him, it was as if he had learned from him.

"Why is there anything else to learn besides swordsmanship?"

Kenshin Zaraki didn't really want to go. In his worldview, anyone with a knife could kill someone; there was no need for such trouble.

"I wanna go!"

Kusajiro Yachiru raised her hand; she had a great curiosity about new things.

"troublesome!"

Ken Zaraki pursed his lips, but seeing that Yachiru Kusajishi was looking forward to going to the Spirit Arts Academy, he didn't say anything to refuse.

Although he didn't know that Yachiru was his Bankai, the two had been wandering together in Rukongai for many years and cared deeply for each other.

......

a few days later.

The Shinigami Academy is a gathering place for many people, and even Shinigami are there to maintain order.

Today is the day of the entrance examination for the Spirit Arts Academy, and many people from Rukongai will come to participate in the examination.

"Sixth-rank Spiritual Might!"

A powerful, thunderous voice suddenly exploded in people's ears.

After a brief silence, a tumultuous uproar erupted.

"Sixth-Rank Spiritual Might!!!"

"Did I hear that right? Sixth-rank Spirit Might?"

"How could a newcomer with the sixth-level spiritual power appear?!"

"Did I come to the wrong place? Shouldn't this be the entrance exam for the Spirit Arts Academy?"

The crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices and a great uproar.

This is just the entrance test for the Spirit Arts Academy, not the assessment of the captains of the Gotei 13!

Many of the lowest-ranking officials only barely reached the level of the sixth rank of spiritual power!

Such terrifying spiritual pressure appeared on a freshman.

"I should be able to pass, right?"

Shiba Kaien's expression was calm, his right hand resting on the translucent crystal ball.

This is a spiritual pressure testing crystal developed by the Technology Development Bureau. As long as you inject your spiritual pressure into it, the crystal ball will change color to indicate the intensity of your spiritual pressure.

At this moment, the crystal ball turned deep purple, which means that Shiba Kaien's spiritual pressure is only one step away from the fifth level of spiritual power!

You should know that the difference between sixth-level and fifth-level spiritual power is the difference between a seat officer and a deputy captain!

This means that Shiba Kaien is very likely to be qualified to serve as vice-captain as soon as he graduates.

Even Shirai Riko, who was sitting calmly behind the long table, couldn't hide her surprise and even stood up excitedly.

This is genius!

"Of course you can. If you can't pass, then no one else can."

Shirai Riko laughed loudly.

"However, with your abilities, there's no need to waste time in the lower grades. Go take the placement test later. After the test, your grade will be determined based on your performance."

"it is good."

Shiba Kaien nodded and calmly withdrew his hand from the crystal ball.

"The test will be conducted in the form of a challenger competition. You are the most outstanding freshman in the spiritual pressure test, so do you have any objections to setting you as the champion?"

Don't worry about the series of tests; the ranking test results aren't determined by wins or losses. Our assessors will score you based on your overall performance.

Riko Shirai was a patient teacher to begin with, and she had even more patience when faced with a genius student like Kaien Shiba.

"it is good."

"Then let's go wait over there. Once the spiritual pressure test is over, we'll start the ranking test."

The new students in the waiting area had also heard about Shiba Kaien's spiritual pressure test results and were discussing them animatedly.

"A genius from the Shiba family!"

"That's incredible... that's a sixth-level spiritual power!"
