The only player in the world of Bleach

Aizen Sousuke quickly packed his things, walked towards the door, smiled and nodded to Matsushita Yusuke before pushing the door open and leaving.

The other party's main position is the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, and teaching at the Shinigami Academy is merely an act of personal interest.

So if you want to see Aizen Sousuke again, you'll have to wait until next week.

Before that...

'Once I finish writing the calligraphy and complete the task assigned by Aizen, I can obtain my Zanpakuto!'

002: Okay, I'm charging!

Having a goal naturally gives you the ability to take action.

Yusuke Matsushita did not slack off at all during the following period.

On the one hand, in order to increase opportunities to contact Aizen Sousuke, he focused on practicing calligraphy.

On the other hand, it is to improve one's own strength.

In terms of curriculum, the Shinigami Academy is basically equivalent to a university-level teaching system.

Apart from the basic content that everyone must study, the remaining parts are mostly chosen in an elective manner.

Of course, this does not mean 'freedom'.

In fact, quite the opposite.

The teaching system of the Spiritual Arts Academy is designed to allow students to plan their future direction upon enrollment.

If one aspires to join the Gotei 13, then knowledge of swordsmanship is of paramount importance. Secondly, knowledge of hand-to-hand combat is also an essential part that cannot be overlooked.

Correspondingly, if one aspires to become a member of the Kido sect or a similar profession, then the skills one needs to hone are naturally 'Kido' and 'Shunpo'.

As mentioned before.

The four essential skills of slaying, punching, and demon-slaying, which are required training for Grim Reapers, actually have different focuses in essence.

The saying "Don't bite off more than you can chew" is quite applicable to the current situation.

However, for Yusuke Matsushita, the situation was not so simple.

"So, the basic techniques of the Ghost Path mainly focus on the application of spiritual energy. Extracting, refining, and finally..."

Sitting in the classroom, listening to the teacher's lecture, Matsushita Yusuke glanced at the contents of the task bar when he had a spare moment.

[Learning the basics of the Ghost Path]

[Introduction: Although it's simple, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even the most basic content... requires painstaking effort to cultivate into a towering tree.]

[Reward: Basic Knowledge of Ghostly Path +1]

There were more than a dozen similar tasks in Yusuke Matsushita's browsing list.

Thanks to the way the task is presented, the participants often don't need to focus their attention on the classroom.

—Because task settlement is based on the result.

Just like at university, once you register, you're here to attend classes... Whether you listen or not doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the professor's income anyway!

For this reason, Yusuke Matsushita signed up for almost all the 'advanced courses'.

From professional courses focused on practical application to theoretical courses like this one, Matsushita Yusuke didn't overlook any of them... He accepted them all!

Anyway, he was an orphan in Seireitei, with no family, so he naturally had no entertainment options.

The Spirit Arts Academy provides all-inclusive room and board. If we don't take this opportunity to improve ourselves, will we be used as a speed bump to be run over when the Invisible Empire invades?

Learning is the key!

However, just as we have seen before.

For courses with limited content, the rewards for these 'side quests' are also relatively simple.

It is clearly marked as the theoretical basis of the Ghost Path.

However, the product I received didn't quite live up to the expectations...

'It can't even be directly converted into the foundational points of the Demon Path, but rather it's more like a life skill similar to calligraphy techniques?'

This clearly demonstrates just how superficial this course is.

It's like in some vocational colleges, where teachers who are just coasting along are using PowerPoint presentations from over twenty years ago to teach people how to find jobs...

Abstract...very abstract!

As the class ended and Matsushita Yusuke bent down to pack up his supplies, he heard the expected notification sound.

[Task completion in progress... Claim your reward]

[Basic knowledge of the Demonic Path +1... Your basic knowledge of the Demonic Path has been fully accumulated, and you have been upgraded to the skill 'Basic Master']

[Basic Master (For Kido spells numbered 10 and below, the casting time can be reduced, allowing for rapid release without affecting power)]

Fortunately, Yusuke Matsushita's panel can integrate this related content.

The skills gained at this moment are precisely this kind of 'comprehensive' skill.

Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but recall another main quest.

Joining Aizen Sousuke's party allows one to directly acquire relevant 'skills,' which speaks volumes about the significance of this part of the story.

For now, the person involved can only watch with envy. After all, without a proper reason, rashly getting into close contact with Aizen Sousuke might lead to some trouble...

We need to be careful!

Thinking of this, Matsushita Yusuke slightly came back to his senses and let out a soft breath.

In short, starting with simple, small tasks... this approach itself is sound.

Little by little, it adds up.

However, Matsushita Yusuke didn't have a very good impression of these simple, single-numbered Kido.

I recall a scene in the original work where Kyoraku Shunsui used a small, broken dagger to overpower Chad. But that was simply due to a difference in strength…

After all, it would be unreasonable not to beat a captain who had just bullied a kid who wasn't even proficient in the new technique!

But it would be a waste not to try out the 'skills' you've finally acquired.

He pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand and, following the instructions in the lesson, tried to gather his spiritual energy at his fingertips.

One of the Breaking Techniques: Charge!

As the number one basic Kido, its effect is simple and straightforward.

By restraining and controlling spiritual energy with his fingertips, he could unleash a shockwave that resembled lightning.

Okay, I'm going!

The light that was dancing on Matsushita Yusuke's fingertips instantly expanded, revealing a flash of light like a thunderbolt, and passed through the air, grazing the lower back of a girl in front of him.

"ah!"

"What's wrong, Keiko?"

"No, it's nothing... It's just that I suddenly felt like someone touched my butt... Ah, I'm so embarrassed, don't say anymore!"

Yusuke Matsushita, feeling ashamed, quickly left.

I almost became a hooligan...

Regardless, this first attempt certainly gave him a lot of confidence.

By omitting the chanting, the convenience of this technique has been greatly improved.

While it may not be effective against strong opponents, it should be able to gain a significant advantage against fellow newcomers.

Great, that's the momentum!

Time flies, and another week has passed quickly.

However, this time, Matsushita Yusuke did not meet Aizen Sousuke as expected.

Standing on the podium now was a rather unexpected figure...

"Uh, everyone, although this may be a bit of a surprise, I have to explain first."

A man with long, blond hair and a melancholic air stood on the podium.

He was slender, and although he was wearing a Shinigami uniform, the haori covering him further confirmed his identity.

He is a captain-level figure in the Gotei 13.

003: Bring Aizen Sousuke here!

"Let me introduce myself first."

He raised his right hand, and his slender arm slipped out of his sleeve.

Facing the gazes of over a hundred people, he tilted his head and spoke in a normal tone.

"I am the current captain of the Third Division, Rojuro Ootori."

"Who is this guy? Are you kidding me? Bring Aizen Sousuke here!"

Of course, this is definitely a joke...

When Rojuro Ootori appeared in the original work, the plot had already progressed to the Masked Arc.

The other party, a former captain-level figure, was poisoned by Aizen Sousuke's Hollowfication experiments, which ultimately led to his expulsion from Soul Society.

Although the text is brief, some specific points can still be summarized from it.

For example...

'Even if he's not very good, he's still at least a team captain, right?'

As we all know, the difference between strong and weak is usually highlighted through comparison.

If he were to clash with the top few, he would naturally be no match... but if he were to go down the ranks, then the title of captain would be truly impressive.

After all, in Soul Society, only those who stand out from the ranks of Shinigami and become the thirteen strongest members of the Gotei 13, symbolizing their power...

Regardless of anything else, Fengqiao Lou Shilang is a person with a name and a surname.

"I know you must be very curious as to why I am the one who is here for today's class."

His slightly sunken eyes were filled with an indescribable weariness. He looked around and then said calmly.

"Because Aizen Sousuke has other matters to attend to temporarily, he is unable to attend this lecture... He asked me to help him, so I will be the one to give the lecture this time."

The people in the audience didn't say anything.

However, many people's expressions already revealed their inner thoughts.

Is this guy any good...?

Calligraphy is a subject that is more about interest; if you bring in some perfunctory people at the last minute, it's better not to have the class at all.

"That's what you're all thinking, isn't it?"

Fengqiao Lou Shilang leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the podium, and his tone became somewhat playful.

"But actually I've also studied calligraphy quite a bit... After all, I like beautiful things, not limited to any particular form."

Done.

He stood up and raised his right hand high, like a conductor in an orchestra.

Five slender fingers came together, then parted slightly with a graceful movement, and Fengqiao Loujulang revealed a rather smug expression.

"Let's begin our class, everyone. This is my first time teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy, so please bear with me!"

[Fengqiao Lou Shilang's Calligraphy Lesson]

[Introduction: A man with an appreciation for art will naturally have a broad range of interests. But... can someone proficient in music truly master calligraphy? I have my reservations...]

[Reward: Endurance +1]

Holy crap!!!

Seeing this reward made Matsushita Yusuke laugh in exasperation.

If you can't teach, then don't teach! What's with "+1 to patience"? I'm supposed to be a captain... and you won't even share a bit of your spiritual pressure with me, so stingy!

Although I really wanted to pack my bags and leave, I wanted to make the most of my time to audit other courses.

But seeing that Rojuro Touhashi was already in the zone, the person involved thought for a while and then gave up on this behavior.
