The only player in the world of Bleach

"It should take about two days. Because of your absence, the academic affairs office said they need to verify some information... Don't be too nervous, they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

Before Matsushita Yusuke could even react, Owada had already turned and left.

This attitude was so subtle that even Yusuke Matsushita wore a rather perplexed expression.

--what happened?

Did something strange happen in Soul Society while he was unconscious?

'I should have considered myself the one who defeated Kenpachi Oni, right? Why does it seem like no one else is reacting?'

Uh... information blockade?

But what's the point?

With such trepidation, Matsushita Yusuke knocked on the door of the academy's grade management office.

"Please come in..."

The people inside were also quite familiar faces, all of whom were faculty members from the college whom I had known for a long time.

The attitude towards Matsushita Yusuke was quite calm, as if he had just gone on a picnic. After giving him a couple of reminders like "Remember to attend classes properly" and "Maintain attendance," no further instructions were given.

This completely stunned Yusuke Matsushita.

Why did things develop to this point? Did he skip some steps in the process?

The person in question was still somewhat dazed and confused, while on the other side...

Inside the Gotei 13, however, the atmosphere was completely different—solemn and solemn.

White hair, bow tie, mustache, elegant demeanor...

He walked briskly through the corridor of the team, carrying a folder. When the team members who passed by saw him, they all stepped aside and bowed respectfully.

"It's the vice-captain, get out of the way..."

He was well-dressed and was also known as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's right-hand man.

Chojiro Sasakibe.

No matter when or where, he adheres to the principle of acting with elegance and pays attention to maintaining his appearance and image.

Calm and composed—in a sense, that's the defining characteristic of this man.

But this time it's a little different.

His steps were hurried, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

It's like facing some tricky and troublesome situation, thinking about solutions while feeling confused and perplexed by the current state of affairs.

Even so, they kept moving forward.

I walked through the long corridor and crossed the partitions. The sound of clothes rustling was constant, and the footsteps fell with a pause, sounding uniform in weight.

Only after reaching the depths of the squadron did Chojiro Sasakibara let out a soft breath and raise his right hand...

But before he could land...

The door had already been pushed open.

"So I've already said... this kind of thing shouldn't be kept under wraps, right? It's a waste not to utilize such a talented young person!"

His tone was complaining, and his face was full of cynicism.

Shinji Hirako, sporting a head of blond hair, pushed open the door and happened to run into Chojiro Sasakibe.

You can tell that this guy is on the agitated side.

But after seeing Chojiro Sasaki, his expression quickly stabilized.

"Perfect timing! Vice-Captain of the Sparrow Division, why don't you say a few words? These guys are really stubborn... they won't listen to anything!"

Chojiro nods solemnly, speaking meticulously.

"That's exactly why I came here."

Push open the door and enter the room.

The room was a complete mess.

The group of people, dressed in various styles and with distinctive appearances, sat down and were all expressing their opinions.

"The vice-captain of the Sparrow Club has arrived..."

The group, who had been arguing, returned to their seats.

It seemed that his mere presence was enough to quell the previously exaggerated dispute.

As for the reason? It's simple, of course.

He is one of the few veteran powerhouses who is still active on the front lines after a thousand-year blood war.

Also the captain of the First Division, he is considered the history book of Seireitei, and the deputy of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

To a certain extent, Chojiro Sasaki's opinion also represented the opinion of the Captain-Commander!

"Gentlemen, please be patient. Please take your seats."

The Gotei 13 held an internal meeting of their captains.

The name of this organization, which has been mentioned countless times before, has now officially come together, all for a single, simple purpose from beginning to end.

Discuss, weigh the pros and cons, and make a decision!

The events that occurred within the Seireitei were already complex and chaotic, and piecing together these seemingly disparate events into a comprehensible form was by no means an easy task.

Therefore, discussion is necessary—from a common and equal perspective, the captains, who symbolize thirteen forces and thirteen wills, should discuss and judge, and finally make the most 'ideal' decision.

Indeed.

Since organizations are themselves created by people, they will naturally contain various kinds of 'personal will' to some extent, resulting in something similar to forming cliques.

But for the Seireitei, this was the most efficient and fair verdict.

After all, within this limited scope, as an organizational structure with authority second only to the 46th Bureau, there are usually only two situations in which these "talented individuals" can be gathered together.

Foreign invasion.

For example, these outsiders have caused harm to Soul Society or posed a threat that cannot be ignored.

Or perhaps...

Chojiro Sasaki walked forward and walked around to the side of the main seat to stand.

"Regarding the Eleventh Division, what are your opinions on whether Kenpachi Oniyama can continue to serve as its captain?

The topic today is simple and straightforward!

After clarifying the topic, Chojiro Sasakichi quickly added details about the subsequent direction.

"According to eyewitness accounts, Kenpachi Onigenjo was defeated in his match against Yusuke Matsushita, a second-year student at the Shinigami Academy, and decided to flee."

Although this is not a formal competition, there is no fair and impartial third party to control it.

however……

"For a team captain to lose to a student is embarrassing enough, isn't it?"

095: The capable rise to the top, that's all.

Hirako Shinji was the first to "fire".

The old man had a nonchalant look on his face and said with a smug smile.

"Anyway, if I lost like him, not only did I fail to get revenge, but I also ended up running away in a panic... Forget about going back to the squad, I could just live in Rukongai for the rest of my life."

There are many ways to express an opinion.

Instead of making statements, they speak in a tone that is almost sarcastic, which is also a kind of 'characteristic' in another sense.

As the second-in-command, Chojiro was naturally very familiar with the personalities and temperaments of these captains.

He easily filtered out the key information.

"You mean you don't agree with Kenpachi Onizuka continuing as the captain of the 11th Division, is that right?"

Hirako Shinji nodded, about to speak.

The other person sitting next to him spoke first, interrupting.

"If you have even a little bit of shame, you should know that it would be better to resign proactively in a situation like this, right?"

The captain of the Ninth Division, Kensei Rokusha, raised his right hand, palm facing up, making a gesture that resembled helplessness.

"No matter what, he is, after all, the captain of the Eleventh Division... I think everyone should understand how special the nature of this division is, without me having to emphasize it, right?"

The Eleventh Division is responsible for combat and enjoys various privileges within the Seireitei.

Honestly...

There are plenty of people who are dissatisfied with these guys.

"I think this theory makes a lot of sense."

The third division captain, Rojuro Otohashi, tilted his head, playing with a strand of hair as he pondered.

"Responsibility and obligation should be equal. The Eleventh Division enjoys many privileges, and we don't usually pursue them because they are special enough. But correspondingly... if that's all they're capable of, why should we be so polite to them?"

It seems that he was not entirely 'satisfied' with his own one-sided statement.

Fengqiao Lou Shilang turned his head and looked into the distance, speaking in a tone as if seeking confirmation.

"What do you think, Luo Wu?"

Captain Aikawa Raibu of the Seventh Division did not answer immediately.

He simply patted the back of his head and sighed, seemingly quite helplessly.

"That guy usually acts like a bully, which has definitely caused me a lot of trouble at work..."

The Seventh Division, also known as the Inner Court Guard.

Its primary job is to respond to and prepare for various security issues within the Seireitei.

In a sense, Aikawa Rao hates those who 'don't follow the rules' the most...

"Although it might sound like kicking someone when they're down, to be honest... I don't think that guy is qualified to be the captain."

He seemed to want to make further additions.

But after hesitating for a moment, he chose to remain silent... Those present were not young people, and some things did not need to be explicitly stated; everyone understood.

'It would be better to take this opportunity to dismiss someone like that.'

Although he is the captain of the Gotei 13, certain workplace awareness is still an essential part of his job.

however.

If it were merely a one-sided agreement, such a heated argument wouldn't have occurred.

"If he's kicked out, who will be the next captain of the Eleventh Division?"

The person who spoke was a woman sitting near the front.

She was quite poised and confident. Following the gazes of the crowd, she showed no stage fright whatsoever, and instead spoke with increasing fervor.

"To be honest, I don't have any problem with that guy himself. I'm only concerned about stability... The captain of the Eleventh Division has been removed. Do you have a plan for who will replace him?"

Second Division Captain, Yoruichi Shihouin.

She crossed her arms and spoke in a normal tone.

“I don’t object to this opinion, but I think that removing this guy without a proper candidate would cause some unnecessary trouble.”

It's something very counterintuitive.

Yoruichi Shihouin's composure and calmness in formal settings are completely different from her usual carefree demeanor.

The entire conference room fell silent for a moment, then someone spoke up.

"I agree with the opinion that we should let things go for the time being because there are risks."

"That's what Kuchiki Ginrei, the captain of the Sixth Division, said."

With his long, silver-white hair and thick beard, the current captain of the Sixth Division exudes an exaggerated sense of majesty.

"It's unwise to break the rules, especially when you're unprepared... Who among us is willing to take responsibility for the losses caused by unauthorized actions?"
