The only player in the world of Bleach

"You probably don't even realize it yourself, since it's someone else doing the work."

The three of them remained subtly silent for a while.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Kenpachi Zaraki was the first to straighten his upper body, cross his arms, and look up at the ceiling.

“I’ve been able to spare some time these past two days to help manage the team’s affairs… I also gained a lot of insights from learning from the vice-captain.”

On the other side, Gin Ichimaru grunted and wiped the curry stains from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, as if adding something along the way.

"If I lend a hand, there shouldn't be any problem."

and so.

What do you think? X2

Faced with the sudden concern from his two subordinates, Matsushita Yusuke's expression became somewhat subtle.

Although he was indeed somewhat absent-minded during this period, he maintained a relatively normal demeanor on the surface—after all, letting others see his inner wavering is unprofessional.

But ah.

After all, he was someone who had been close enough to Yusuke Matsushita, and even with deliberate pretense, some ambiguous things were still hard to hide.

He opened his mouth slightly, stammered for a while, and finally revealed a helpless yet sentimental smile.

"Thank you for your concern... but it's alright, I don't need such an excessive amount of rest time right now. Besides, I have other plans for the two of you."

First of all.

"Gin, for the next period of time, you will work as an assistant in the 10th Division and help Lieutenant Matsumoto with some matters."

After a brief pause, Matsushita Yusuke added with a smile.

"You and she are already old acquaintances, so it should be much easier for you to get to know each other."

Before he could refuse or reply, Matsushita Yusuke turned to the other side and spoke to Zaraki Kenpachi.

"As for you... I actually have an idea recently about further restructuring the Eleventh Division. I'd like you to give me some feedback on this... Oh, right, let me think about it..."

Yusuke Matsushita pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand and gently rubbed his chin. Then, as if he had remembered something, he broke into a hearty smile.

"I've assigned you a rather special position... tentatively 'acting team leader,' how about it? You can help out for a while."

The two of them showed expressions of extreme disgust almost simultaneously.

Why?!

Without waiting for a response, Matsushita Yusuke finished slurping his noodles in two bites, stood up, grabbed the tray, and turned to leave with a smile.

"Then it's settled for now. You two take a moment to prepare... Work hard and don't slack off."

After handling a series of matters, Yusuke Matsushita returned to his office.

"..."

He rubbed the back of his neck wearily.

It has been about a month since I secretly went to the human world to spy on Ichigo Kurosaki's growth.

Compared to the ever-changing world of the present, the Soul Society exudes an atmosphere of decadence from the inside out.

Even after hundreds or thousands of years, many things will continue on their original trajectory—which will certainly alleviate people's anxiety and fear about the unknown.

However, some people who want to make progress and strive for certain changes will feel helpless resistance in this situation.

This was true in the past, and it remains true now.

The longer it goes on, the more I understand Lao Lan's feeling of seeing everyone else as an idiot.

With a sigh, Matsushita Yusuke gently shook his head and returned to his seat.

Soi Fon recently returned to the Shihouin family under the guise of training for special instruction... Of course, in Matsushita Yusuke's opinion, it's highly likely that the Shihouin family is planning something.

After all, Yuushirou didn't immediately succeed Yoruichi after she left. Now that time has passed, he needs to give his subordinates a little nudge.

Even the current captain of the Second Division, Ōmaeda, took a few days off, so it obviously wasn't an easy thing to do.

Although I was a little worried, but...

'If you didn't invite me, don't get involved. Otherwise, you'll just cause a lot of trouble, and Lao Lan will complain.'

Considering Soi Fon's accumulated strength over the years, and with the help of Yusuke Matsushita, her strength is now vastly different from what it used to be... She should be able to handle these trivial matters properly.

There's no need to worry about it; if things get too tough over there, they'll come looking for us anyway.

So the focus is still on 'himself'.

As Yusuke Matsushita sat in the rocking chair, deep in thought, he casually raised his right hand and made a light tapping motion on the screen in front of him.

Contents that others could not see or observe silently emerged at this moment.

Quincy Level: 49

[Spiritual Particle Manipulation Ability: 56] [Support Combat Techniques: 66] [HP Armor: 52]

Quincy Panel!

As the latest branch to be created among the three, Matsushita Yusuke's investment in it was considerable.

However, the progress is still not very satisfactory.

There's nothing we can do about it... After all, improving this panel is far less convenient than improving the other two projects.

Yusuke Matsushita can only obtain these rewards by grinding through the squad's progress; even killing monsters doesn't give specific numerical rewards... It just goes to show that the Quincy truly live up to their reputation as the final update content of the 'game' of Bleach.

Given that he had already exploited a loophole, it was pure fantasy for Yusuke Matsushita to expect to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

There's nothing more to say; we can only honestly make progress little by little.

His anxiety about increasing his speed might be the reason why others noticed his poor condition... but that alone wouldn't be enough to make it this exaggerated.

The main problem is not that...

Yusuke Matsushita lowered his gaze thoughtfully, and at that moment, he switched all three panels to display them side by side.

After staring at it for a while, he didn't rush to try anything. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the main entrance.

Use your spiritual power to lock the door, making sure no one will suddenly barge in and see anything strange...

Matsushita Yusuke straightened up and solemnly extended his right hand.

"..."

A moment later, a deep, visible light emerged from his palm.

Its entire body is a dark brown color that is almost chaotic, with a rather viscous texture... and if someone were nearby, they would be surprised to find that...

Why can I sense the aura of emptiness in the captain's room?

And that is indeed the case.

This was after Matsushita Yusuke invoked the virtual panel, imitating the way a Shinigami uses Kido to extract the entire cluster of spiritual energy.

This power was not allowed to last for long in a purely symbolic way, because soon, another faint ball of light began to flicker in Matsushita Yusuke's palm.

Unlike the illusory figurative objects, the light this time was generally intense, presenting a milky white luster.

And this is Matsushita Yusuke's strongest trump card at present.

A spiritual force belonging to the Grim Reaper.

The moment they separated, without even needing Matsushita Yusuke's command, the two energy clusters instantly 'meshed' together.

Although there is a clear difference in the content of the panels, as long as the output is controlled, the one-sided situation can be reversed.

The controllability of power becomes extremely important in this situation... and in recent times, through tireless efforts, Yusuke Matsushita has indeed achieved 'even distribution'.

There's a reason I'm tired...

After all, the last time I worked this hard was probably when I was studying diligently at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

However, the parties involved do not seem to be very satisfied with the current 'outcome'.

Yusuke Matsushita's eyebrows were furrowed into a V-shape.

'Why did they start fighting again...'

While different theoretical outcomes are possible, the way this should be presented is certainly not how it should be...

Can't you two just get along? Calm down and have a proper talk?

Watching these two constantly fighting each other, seemingly irreconcilable, Matsushita Yusuke's expression grew increasingly distressed.

That's not how it is, that's not it...

This isn't the outcome I wanted!

With the two energy clusters violently intertwining and colliding, they finally vanished completely.

Looking at the boundary line that remained clearly defined even at the moment of his death, Matsushita Yusuke closed his eyes helplessly.

No matter how many times he tried, there was no progress. From an experimental perspective, his way of thinking was definitely wrong... After all, the harder he tried, the more he failed, a principle that Yusuke Matsushita understood.

but.

Ichigo Kurosaki had shown him the possibility of different energies coexisting.

'I've tried changing the form, altering the magnitude, and other minor details... but I still haven't succeeded even once.'

What exactly is missing?

This question had been lingering in his mind, causing Matsushita Yusuke some anxiety.

'Theoretically, if all three panels are stacked to 100, they can be merged, but is it impossible to do this manually?'

It's important to know that the situation wasn't the same for Ichigo Kurosaki.

The spiritual pressure of a captain-level Shinigami is clearly inferior to that of the Minotaur. Although the Quincy talent inherited from the mother is unknown... it is absolutely impossible for it to be completely on par with the other two forces.

This unequal competition among the three parties can maintain a delicate balance.

What exactly is the key point?

At this moment, Yusuke Matsushita was pondering this, and thus made an attempt that he had never made before.

As before, he first separated two different types of spiritual energy. After fixing them together, Matsushita Yusuke let out a deep breath with a solemn expression.

At that moment, he separated a ball of azure spiritual energy.

This is a portion of the power belonging to the Quincy. Because they had not accumulated enough power before, Matsushita Yusuke did not choose to forcibly merge into it.

'A level of 49 requires adjustments and reductions to the other two levels.'

As mentioned earlier, since it's impossible to completely imitate Ichigo Kurosaki's unique physique, balance is a crucial prerequisite.

Having made all the preparations, Yusuke Matsushita lifted the restrictions.

Then...

The three clusters of spiritual energy collided violently, like a high-speed train.

Bang! ! !

Seeing the small mushroom cloud explode in front of him, Matsushita Yusuke fell to the ground... He waved gently to the soldiers rushing to the door and called out repeatedly.

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys go ahead with your work!"

He stood there, looking at the office that was completely unrecognizable.

I felt like I was laughing in anger.

Is it really impossible to solve the problem of power integration through human means?

273: Stagnant Research Progress

It turns out that Matsushita Yusuke's plan is not feasible for the time being.

Of course, he didn't dwell on this matter for too long, because the person involved knew that he wasn't cut out for it.

So they settled for seeking reinforcements.

"So, is something bothering you that you came here today?"

Aizen smiled and poured Matsushita Yusuke a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you..."
