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

"Msaki-san! What's wrong?"

Shiba Isshin rushed forward, only to see a dark hole below Kurosaki Masaki's neck.

"This is... a void?!"

Chapter 420 Rescue

Masaki Kurosaki lay unconscious on the ground, with a dark hole between her neck and chest.

"How is this going?!"

"Msaki was perfectly fine when she came back..."

Shiba couldn't understand why something like this was happening to Kurosaki Masaki, but looking at her distressed and pained expression, he knew without guessing that it was definitely not a good thing.

Shiba Isshin releases the Return Path, attempting to use it to heal the black hole that has appeared on Kurosaki Masaki's body.

However, the return route did not serve any purpose.

Moreover, not only did Hollow holes grow on Kurosaki Masaki's body.

When Shiba Isshin released the Reidou, he also sensed the situation inside her body through spiritual pressure.

Within Kurosaki Masaki's spiritual pressure, there were fluctuations of Hollow spiritual pressure!

"Was that ethereal power caused by the injuries I sustained that night...?"

Shiba was reminded of how Kurosaki Masaki used himself as bait to catch the Hollow, but at the same time, he was also bitten by it.

"But wasn't that injury healed...?"

"No, the void is getting bigger and bigger, we can't let this drag on any longer!"

When Shiba Isshin first entered the kitchen, the Hollow hole on Kurosaki Masaki's body was about the size of three fingers. In just a short while, it had expanded to the size of a fist, and the spiritual pressure within her body was becoming increasingly unstable.

However, he had no way to deal with the current unusual situation.

Masaki Kurosaki herself had already fainted, so it was impossible to ask her for information.

"Oh, right... it seems the teacher has mastered the power of the Hollow! Maybe the teacher has a way!"

Shiba immediately remembered that his teacher had used the power of the Hollow during the Wandenreich, so he took out the communication device and sent a communication request to his teacher's exclusive channel.

However, what he didn't know was—

Shikatori Nanatsuki and Aizen Sousuke were standing beside him at that moment.

If Shiba hadn't finally remembered to ask the teacher for help, July would probably have made up an excuse about "just passing by" to show up.

"The teacher went to great lengths to create opportunities for him to spend time with this Quincy girl."

"This idiot took so long to remember his teacher."

Aizen Sousuke chuckled lightly.

"This shows that he really cares about this girl, and in his anxiety, he lost his composure."

In July, the Divine Messenger was brought out.

Zhibo, eager to connect with his teacher, said urgently:

"Teacher, I need your help!"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I encountered a Quincy in Karakura Town in the mortal realm... She was bitten by a Hollow a couple of days ago, and now she's showing signs of Hollowfication..."

Shiba Isshin quickly recounted what had happened to Kurosaki Masaki.

"Understood, I'll be there soon. You can use your spiritual pressure to suppress that power, which will slow down her etherealization."

After receiving the teacher's calm reply, Shiba Isshin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Miss Masaki, please hang in there! My teacher will be here soon. You'll be alright!"

Shiba Isshin held Kurosaki Masaki's hand tightly, trying his best to suppress the Hollow power within her with his spiritual pressure, attempting to slow its spread.

Unbeknownst to Shiba Isshin, he had actually become attracted to this straightforward Quincy girl.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed at Kurosaki Hospital to recover even though he was able to get out of bed.

A moment later, Shiba Isshin saw a "gateway" open beside him.

"Shikagori Nanatsuki" and "Aizen Sousuke" emerged from the "Transcendental Gate".

"Why is Sousuke here too..." Shiba Isshin's face darkened.

For some reason, he didn't want too many people to know about it.

“I was just observing an experiment with the teacher when I heard you asking the teacher for help, so I came over to check it out.”

Aizen Sousuke said honestly.

He was indeed observing the test subjects, but the subjects were the Quincy that Shiba desperately wanted to save.

"I looked through the intelligence reports you submitted on my way here, and it doesn't seem to mention anything about this Quincy lady," July said meaningfully. "Are you protecting her?"

"So that's it. This is the girl who made your heart flutter?" Aizen Sousuke stroked his chin. "No wonder you rejected your clansman's matchmaking attempt!"

"What nonsense! She saved me once, of course I don't want her to get into trouble!" Zhibo tried to argue, but his face involuntarily turned red. "Teacher, please help me check on her!"

"let me see."

In July, Shiba Isshin stopped teasing her and went to check on Kurosaki Masaki's condition.

"This Quincy has been affected by the power of the Hollow and is being eroded by that power. Before long, her will will be devoured by the Hollow power within her body, and she will completely become a Hollow."

"So, is the situation really bad right now?"

When Shiba saw that his teacher's expression suddenly became very serious, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"It's beyond repair."

July's words made Shiba Isshin's heart sink.

"The spiritual pressure within her body has irreversibly merged with the power of the Hollow, making it impossible to restore her to her original state."

"However, there are ways to save your life."

"What method?" Shiba Isshin asked hurriedly.

"By suppressing the Hollow power within her with a stronger opposing force, we can prevent her from becoming a Hollow and thus save her life."

"However... her situation is not exactly the same as the cases I have seen in the past. She is a human Quincy. To suppress the Hollow within her, one must become an existence between a Shinigami and a human in order to suppress her Hollowfication."

In July, a solution was proposed: "I can create a special prosthetic body, and this condition will be met as long as you enter this special prosthetic body."

However... once you enter the special Gigai and suppress the Hollow within her, your Shinigami power will connect with the Hollow within her as well.

“So this is how it’s solved…” Aizen Sousuke stroked his chin, pondering its feasibility. “This connection might actually bind Isshin to this special prosthetic body.”

“That’s right. Once you’re connected to the Void, it won’t be so easy to break free.” July nodded. “At that point, you won’t be much different from an ordinary human.”

"Although I didn't quite understand, as long as I enter the special spirit body that the teacher made, I can save Ms. Masaki, right?"

Ms. Masaki saved my life, how can I just leave her to fend for herself!

Please, teacher, take action! Masaki-san's condition can't be delayed any longer!

Shiba agreed without hesitation.

“Since you’ve decided to save her, then I’ll grant your wish.” July nodded.

If Shiba Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki have a child, then the Hollow within Kurosaki Masaki will become part of their child.

At that time, they will give birth to a child who is a combination of a human, a Shinigami, a Hollow, and a Quincy.

However, once their child grows up to the point where he can tame the Hollow within him, July will have a way to actively help Isshin Shiba break the connection and restore his Shinigami powers.

Chapter 421 Transfer Student Kurosaki Isshin

"call--"

"Did it work..."

Shiba Isshin woke up with a start and looked down to see that the hole in Kurosaki Masaki's chest had disappeared.

“That’s right, your soul has merged with this Quincy’s. Right now, your Shinigami power is inside her, suppressing the Hollow within her.” July nodded.

"That's great... but how come I can still see the teacher and Sousuke?" Shiba Isshin asked curiously. "Wasn't it said that after I was locked in that link, I couldn't even see my soul?"

He is now wearing a special prosthetic body, and his soul is locked by the connection between the power of the Shinigami and the Hollow, making him unable to break free of the special prosthetic body, much like an ordinary human whose soul cannot be seen.

"To facilitate communication, my teacher and I specially wore artificial bodies," Aizen Sousuke replied.

"I'm not a Shinigami anymore." Shiba Isshin was somewhat worried that the Soul Society would investigate this matter. "What about the Soul Society..."

“I’ll make some arrangements to make everyone else think you were attacked by a Hollow,” July said.

“Going missing is better than defecting…” Shiba Isshin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to go against Soul Society; he only made this choice to save Kurosaki Masaki.

"Compared to that, there's something else I think you should consider," July said with a smile.

"What?" Shiba Isshin looked confused.

“In order to maintain the suppression of Hollows by the power of the Shinigami, you need to have frequent contact with this Quincy.” July picked up the photo on the kitchen cabinet, a playful smile on her face. “This Quincy seems to have family too. Have you thought about how to deal with her family?”

"Huh?" Shiba Isshin glanced at the group photo. Besides Kurosaki Masaki, there were two other people who looked a lot like her.

"They're Quincy too, right? If I'm discovered, I'll be kicked out!"

Shiba Isshin was feeling a bit overwhelmed. He couldn't use the power of a Shinigami right now, and if he met with Kurosaki Masaki frequently, it would be difficult to hide it from her two Quincy family members.

“That’s easy,” Aizen Sousuke said with a smile. “I’ll arrange an identity for you that will make it easy for you to get close to her.”

"Please, Sousuke!" Shiba Isshin clasped his hands together.

The next day, when Masaki Kurosaki woke up, she saw Isshin Shiba wearing her school's boys' uniform.

"Hey! How did you turn into a human?!"

Masaki Kurosaki quickly realized that Isshin Shiba was no longer in a spirit form.

"I am now Kurosaki Isshin, who transferred from Naruki City Middle School."

"We're classmates now?!"

......

After dealing with Shiba Isshin's matter with Aizen Sousuke, July returned to Soul Society.

"Teacher, you brought this together to witness the birth of the child who combines the powers of humans, Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy, right?"

Aizen Sousuke originally thought that his teacher wanted to create a child with the powers of a Shinigami and a Hollow through Shiba Isshin and Hollow Haku.

It turned out that the teacher's ambitions were far greater than he had imagined. The teacher had probably already taken notice of the Quincy in Karakura Town, and the events of the past few days were the result of the teacher's instigation.

“That’s right. The power of the Spirit King possesses the characteristics of these powers, so I want to see how far a child born with these powers can grow.”

July continued following Aizen Sousuke's line of reasoning.

In fact, he already knew the outcome. His push for Ichigo Kurosaki's early birth was more for the ultimate mission, the 'Path of Transcendence'.

For more than a decade, he has been diligently teaching his disciples.

Kenpachi Zaraki learned a lot of swordsmanship from him.

Ikkaku Banme also became one of the top-ranking officers in the Eleventh Division.

Although Byakuya Kuchiki is still young, he has mastered Shikai and is slightly stronger than Ikkaku Banme.

The virtual disciples, Nel, Halibel, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Stark, have basically mastered all the sword techniques and moves they could learn.

Minina, Litoto, Bambietta, and Gatis, all Quincy disciples, have reached the level of elite Quincy. If they were still in the Wandenreich, their current strength would be enough for them to become members of the Sternritter.

Over the past decade or so, July has accumulated a wealth of experience.

Therefore, his current interface has undergone a significant change:

[Basic Abilities (Bleach): Spiritual Pressure lv100, Swordsmanship lv100, Kido lv100, Hakuda lv100, Shunpo lv90, Hollowfication lv100]

[Basic Abilities (Virtual): Super Regeneration lv100, Steel Skin lv100, Vibration lv100, Spinning Spin lv90]

[Basic Abilities (Quinus): Spirit Cluster Lv100, Still Blood Armor Lv90, Moving Blood Armor Lv90, Flying Scythe Kick Lv90]
