The only player in the world of Bleach

so……

Take your time!

027: More or less the same

Of course, while reflecting on his experience, Matsushita Yusuke also took the time to examine another takeaway.

【Skill (A Solitary Heart)】

He was really looking forward to this.

Based on experience so far... anything made by Aizen is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!

There's nothing about this King B that's not presentable, and he's overjoyed to be able to acquire one through a mission.

So what were the results?

【Skill (A Solitary Heart)】

[You have learned the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the demonic path... Through learning and summarizing, you can even reconstruct incantations, incorporating your own understanding and experimentation to a certain extent.]

Yusuke Matsushita was taken aback at first.

He then realized what was happening, and his expression was a mixture of surprise and delight.

Hey! This is great!

The benefits of the Ghost Path are something you don't know until you use it.

In the current situation where there are no special means of attack, Matsushita Yusuke's few methods of attack are Kido.

This kind of systematic approach has one major advantage.

He learns by following the steps systematically, and he can master the vast majority of the content—his learning pace is fast enough, and the system is comprehensive!

Break the way, bind the way, and return to the way.

These three abilities encompass attack, control, and recovery. It can be said that as long as one has a deep understanding of the Kido technique, even an ordinary Shinigami can possess considerable combat power!

But no... that's not how you say it.

After all, those who can master high-level ghost arts are themselves considered to have extraordinary talent.

Otherwise, a special organization like the 'Kido-shu' wouldn't have emerged within Soul Society...

Yusuke Matsushita briefly organized his thoughts.

They quickly devised various related uses for this technique.

However, reality is often harsh.

The person involved tried it out...

They soon discovered that they didn't even have the ability to reconstruct the No. 1 Path.

In fact, once modified, the path will produce multiple chain reactions.

In a more normal situation, it is completely ineffective; the spiritual particles that have been painstakingly gathered disintegrate in an instant and vanish into nothingness.

The worst-case scenario would be a bit of an exaggeration...

The bursting spiritual pressure was like a TNT bomb suddenly exploding.

The sudden burst of light and heat almost turned Matsushita Yusuke's room upside down.

The dormitory manager at the Shinigami Academy thought it was a fire and spent a long time scrambling to clear the area...

The person involved was also feeling guilty and couldn't tell the truth, which eventually became a mystery in the dormitory—how could it suddenly explode like this?

There are no gas pipelines buried underneath...

After spending an entire day adapting and understanding, Yusuke Matsushita finally came to a conclusion.

This is not a power I can currently access... To reconstruct and modify it would require a painstaking and gradual process.

It requires not only a lot of time but also a lot of effort.

'Each demonic path has a complete form from the very beginning of its design, like a fixed gene chain…'

Sudden changes not only leave no room for optimization, but may even cause a complete collapse.

Having figured this out, Yusuke Matsushita decided to temporarily abandon further investigation into this part.

'After all, my current strength is limited.'

The user combined the 33rd Hado with the 9th Binding Spell, and then burned out almost completely...

Even a single form of breakthrough would likely reach its limit after about fifty uses.

This reminds me of the black coffin that Aizen casually conjured in the original work.

It's fair to say that when it comes to matters of strength, there's still a long way to go...

'It's not too late to think about these things after my Ghost Path attribute reaches 40-50.'

Once he had a plan, Matsushita Yusuke stopped worrying about it.

Another fulfilling day passed. On the afternoon of the second day, Matsushita Yusuke, who had asked for leave in advance, wandered around the school gate for a while and soon waited for Aizen Sousuke.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Matsushita-kun."

"No, no... I just arrived myself. Besides..."

Politeness aside...

At this moment, Matsushita Yusuke's attention was also focused on the figure next to Aizen.

That was an attendant dressed in a Shinigami uniform.

Since they are wearing the same uniform, they must be 'Death God' in the literal sense, the kind with official status.

But why would there be other people present in this situation?

A few doubts vanished after Matsushita Yusuke clearly saw the newcomer's face.

The other person was wearing goggles and had a dark complexion. The dreadlocks hanging down from the top of their head were quite distinctive... which allowed Matsushita Yusuke to recognize the other person immediately.

The black man with the karate chop in "Golden Fertilizer"! Oh, wait...

Kaname Tosen!

As the captain of the Ninth Division in the original work, his initial appearance was not very well-developed; he was more of a sparse character.

However, after joining Aizen's rebel squad, the character as a whole appears much more three-dimensional.

It just goes to show that spending more time with B-King makes you more photogenic...

But why is this guy here?

According to the timeline, he shouldn't... wait a minute.

Yusuke Matsushita quickly realized the problem.

Do you know what his initial mission was?

[Mission: Join his amazing team and become member number 003 of the Sky Club]

Oh, right, number 003!

001 is definitely Aizen Sousuke himself, but what about number 002?

Considering the timing of the mission and the nature of this "club standing in the sky," it's likely that Tosen Kaname was already under Aizen Sousuke's command a long time ago.

"Nice to meet you..."

Dongxian took the initiative to step forward and spoke softly.

"My name is Tosen Kaname."

Matsushita Yusuke quickly responded, nodding.

"My name is Yusuke Matsushita... Nice to meet you!"

Aizen watched from the sidelines, a rather warm smile on his face.

"Matsushita-kun, Tosen is also a graduate of the Shinigami Academy, but he's only a little older than you... Don't be too formal, just be easygoing."

This can be seen as a reminder to Yusuke Matsushita.

It seems that the members of 002 joined not much earlier than him.

After a brief exchange, they were considered acquainted. Since the organizer was Aizen Sousuke, all subsequent arrangements were left to this fifth division lieutenant.

"Let's find a tavern and relax today since it's a rare occasion."

Even someone like Aizen, after get off work, enjoys having a couple of drinks with like-minded friends.

It can only be said that humans are indeed social animals... In this respect, we are all more or less the same.

028: You're still a drunkard, damn it!

The sunlight slanted and slowly descended.

As dusk settled over the Seong Ling Court, the streetlights illuminated the area.

Aizen Sousuke led the two of them around for a long time until they stopped in front of a shop, whereupon he led them inside.

"This is a shop I visited a long time ago. The flavor is on the lighter side... If you don't like it, you can ask the shop to add more seasoning."

The place resembled an old-fashioned izakaya, with the three of them sitting around in a corner.

The general, his head wrapped in coarse cloth, was busy inside, skewering meat and shouting orders without looking up.

"welcome!"

Taking the menu, Aizen Sousuke ordered some signature dishes, then looked up at the two of them.

"Tosen, Matsushita-kun, what would you two like to drink?"

Tosen sat to Matsushita Yusuke's left. He was serious and straight-backed, and at this moment he only nodded slightly in response.

"Lemonade will do..."

"Dongxian, you've finally managed to get out of here, have a drink."

What else can you say when the leader is already urging you to drink?

The blind man hesitated for a while before speaking.

What kinds of low-alcohol beverages are there?

The waiter holding the pen and paper pondered for a moment, then spoke.

How about draft beer?

"It's pretty good, I'll take this one."

Aizen Sousuke smiled and agreed, then turned his gaze to Matsushita Yusuke.

The latter understood immediately and carefully raised his hand.

"I'll have a highball..."

This is a special drink flavored with whiskey and carbonated beverages. It has the taste of alcohol while also having the sweet and sour taste of soft drinks, making it a kind of 'social tool' among young people.

Aizen Sousuke seemed quite satisfied with the arrangement and offered no opinion, simply ordering a cup of sake for himself.

"Daiginjo... Could you please heat it up before serving it?"

Sake has a unique form, and while it is meant to be warm, its already mellow taste is even more palatable.

After placing his order, Aizen Sousuke watched the waiter walk away before turning back.

Perhaps it was because of the rare opportunity for a gathering?

Aizen Sousuke's smile was noticeably more pronounced than usual.

"Mr. Matsushita, we're really sorry to have troubled you to take time out of your schedule to drink with us today."

"No, no, no, you're too kind..."

What's more important than studying? Spending time with your boss.

After all, the tasks have already popped up.

[Task: Attend a small gathering of members of the Sky-High Club]

[Synopsis: Those who go against the crowd are always lonely, and your arrival will bring them some joy... However, these people are not good with words, so try your best to make them happy in your own way.]
