The only player in the world of Bleach

It's never good to be too confrontational; you should always try to save face for others...

And upon closer examination, this reward isn't entirely unreasonable.

What is the most important thing for a Grim Reaper?

Be patient! Be patient!

A class period has passed.

The students were completely confused, and Fengqiao Loujuro on stage then ended his performance art.

He crossed his arms, raised his head arrogantly, and looked down on everyone...

"Hmph, I feel pretty good about myself... So this is what it's like to teach people? No wonder Aizen Sousuke is so concerned about these things. Looks like I should apply to teach a music class too."

He is completely immersed in his art...

It should have been his true feelings, but he had turned it into a monologue.

Overly narcissistic people usually exhibit rather abstract behaviors; all I can say is, I can understand it, I can understand it…

'I'd rather die than attend your class...'

After silently complaining to himself, Rojuro Fengqiao, who was tidying up his lecture notes, suddenly paused.

As if he had suddenly remembered something, he raised his head slightly and spoke in the lazy tone he had just switched back to.

"Oh, right... there's a student named 'Yusuke Matsushita' in this class. Is he here today?"

"...???"

How could this be any of my business?

Matsushita Yusuke, who was packing his things, was slightly taken aback.

After hesitating for a moment, he obediently raised his hand and answered.

"I'm here!"

"Come over after you've packed your things."

Rojuro Fengqiao turned and left, heading towards the teachers' office where he had been before, with Yusuke Matsushita following closely behind.

The two arrived at the desk they had previously met. Fengqiao Lou Shilang turned his head slightly and made a shrugging gesture towards him.

“Aizen Sousuke specifically mentioned you, saying he assigned you some kind of task… If you’ve already completed it, you can let me collect it first, and then hand it over to him when we meet again.”

Is Aizen Sousuke still thinking about this?

Honestly...

A little surprising.

But Matsushita Yusuke didn't hesitate for long. He nodded, took out the calligraphy template he had prepared beforehand, and respectfully handed it to the other party.

Fengqiao Loujuro glanced at the cover naturally, and instead of being impolite to open it and read the contents, he chuckled softly.

"I see... Is this some kind of homework assignment? You and Aizen seem to have a pretty good relationship?"

Yusuke Matsushita scratched the corner of his mouth.

"Aizen-sensei taught me a lot..."

I'm just telling the truth.

After all, he had to rely on this old man to draw his spiritual pressure, so you can imagine how much he taught him!

"Alright, I'll take the things over for you. Aizen will probably tell you something when he arrives next week... That's all for now, I have nothing else to say."

Matsushita Yusuke nodded slightly, and seeing the "Mission Completed" notification appear, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

It turns out that the way a task is completed is not fixed.

Even without Aizen Sousuke present, simply handing over the completed calligraphy scroll can be considered as completing the task...

It's safe to say that this is a basic template designed for 2025; the key feature of this task format is its convenience.

It doesn't make things difficult for the players at all!

Wuhu~ Time to claim your reward!

004: The Five Types of Zanpakuto

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

[Calligraphy skill +10 (combined into the skill 'Yan Gu'), Spiritual Pressure level +5, Zanpakuto (choose your preferred style)]

A series of successes brought immense joy, but...

'No, you can't laugh yet.'

It makes no sense for someone to do something strange in front of Fengqiao Lou Shilang.

Wait thirty seconds, you can be happy after you leave the room...

The process of suppressing laughter, much like Light Yagami's 'plan in action,' was quite torturous. Yusuke Matsushita obediently bowed to the captain of the Third Division to say goodbye, turned and left the classroom, jogging to find a toilet in a secluded school building.

Yay! I've got my Zanpakuto!

However, despite this, Matsushita Yusuke had no weapons by his side at the moment.

So how exactly does he intend to obtain the 'reward'?

He raised his right hand slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, a series of blue streaks of light appeared in the air in an arc.

Like an image shifting from virtual to real, after a moment of disorientation, Matsushita Yusuke found himself holding a standard-issue weapon...

Hit shallowly.

This involves a more technical issue—in fact, before his time travel, Matsushita Yusuke thought there was no particular difference in the names of Zanpakuto.

However, during his time studying at the Shinigami Academy, he learned some relatively 'basic' knowledge.

One of the more straightforward types is the name given to Zanpakuto.

For swords that have not entered a state of liberation and are in a completely 'dormant' state, these things are collectively referred to as asazuchi.

The Grim Reaper trains in swordsmanship in order to master the use of asana (shallow strike) in combat.

Once in the state of liberation, because everyone's inner reflection is different, different combat philosophies and techniques will emerge from this stage.

(For example, Kira Izuru's Wabisuke can make the opponent's weapon heavier, while Hinamori Momo's Tobiume is similar to an explosive type of Kido.)

With a solid foundation, the various abilities that emerge later will take over these basic elements and gradually replace them with the combat methods that are most suitable and best suited to the individual.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Matsushita Yusuke looked at the long blade in his hand, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

Because he had read the original work, he not only knew about future trends, but also had some knowledge of the 'secrets' of the Three Realms...

Zanpakuto... or rather, Asauchi.

These things did not come into existence out of thin air.

Rather, it was a special object forged by the divine general, Nimaiya Oetsu, who was above the Spirit King Palace.

Asahi is essentially a weapon formed from a unique blend of souls, which is then refined and extracted... and through resonance with the Grim Reaper, the two can unleash an even more complex power.

In the original work, even Ichigo Kurosaki, the number one half-blood prince in the three realms, could not escape this law.

—His final form of Zanpakuto, with one short and one long, was exactly the result of sealing away the powers of the Quincy and the Shinigami.

Now, his question is...

Did I get this knife from Wang Yue of the Two-Piece House, or did it just appear out of thin air as a system reward?

I can't figure it out!

Things that are too complicated are obviously not suitable to be pursued at this time. After a brief thought, Yusuke Matsushita, unable to find the answer, quickly shifted his attention.

He focused his energy on the 'abilities' of his Zanpakuto.

In fact, just as the system prompt described, a brand new 'menu' had appeared in front of Matsushita Yusuke.

[Zanpakuto Ability Panel]

[Physics Department: 0]

[Elemental System: 0]

[Ghost Department: 0]

[Biology Department: 0]

[Rule Series: 0]

They're all zeros!

—Although I really wanted to make that comment, Matsushita Yusuke's attention was completely elsewhere.

His focus was on the fact that, under the system's classification and categorization, Zanpakuto were now clearly divided into five categories!

Five major systems?!

It's worth noting that the original work didn't include such a detailed classification of genres... so upon closer examination, this is very likely just one perspective from the system.

in other words.

A fake ranking list, huh?!

However, Yusuke Matsushita himself did not dislike it, since this method could clearly and intuitively record and explain the changes.

As for these five categories... he thought about them briefly, categorized them, and soon he was able to understand the reasons and rules behind them.

Department of Physics.

As the name suggests, it is the simpler type.

A more typical example would be Tensa Zangetsu... It doesn't possess any special abilities.

However, considering that Ichigo Kurosaki is not a local, the first choice should be changed to Kenpachi Zaraki.

Nozomi is also a stand-in of the same type!

Zanpakuto itself doesn't bring any strange or unusual abilities; it's just like the old man hidden in a ring, giving you a straightforward and simple boost in power, allowing you to unleash spiritual pressure capable of killing your opponent.

Elemental system.

This category is easier to explain because both the wildly popular Hyōrinmaru and the fully upgraded Ryūjin Jakka are typical examples of elemental attacks.

Although in other works, this type of ability is usually reserved for the second male lead or a supporting character...

However, in Bleach, elemental Zanpakuto also signify great potential and are well worth exploring in depth.

With Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni as a precedent, Hitsugaya Toshiro, the 'future warrior,' naturally has a lot of prestige.

Ghost system.

This category is a bit complicated, but Aizen Sousuke and Hirako Shinji are typical examples.

One manipulates the five senses, and the other reverses perception; both are typical examples of using the special abilities of their Zanpakuto to attack others.

Of course, Hinamori Momo's Flying Plum Blossom and Urahara Kisuke's Benihime's Shikai can also be categorized here.

Considering that Kido is a comprehensive category (including Hado and Kaido), almost all Zanpakuto with special abilities can be classified into it.

Biology Department...

This one is a little special.

It took Matsushita Yusuke some time to barely understand it.

As the name suggests, the Biological Type involves unleashing one's Zanpakuto, transforming it into a physical object for combat.

So can we understand him as a god of war from hell?

That doesn't seem right either... because the defining characteristic of the biology department is the concept of 'independence'.

Considering this aspect, it seems that only Retsu Unohana's Nikushizuki meets the corresponding criteria.

Because when directing this guy's actions, Unohana Retsu always spoke in a tone that was almost like 'consultation'.

(Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the elderly may simply have a verbal tic or habit.)

005: Custom Zanpakuto

As for the final set of rules.

This category is extremely special, so very few Zanpakuto can be classified into it.
