In Soul Society, I just want to retire

Aizen moved his arm slightly and found that his hand no longer hurt.

Yamabuki Detang suddenly raised his scabbard and slammed it on Aizen's forehead.

"It hurts!" Aizen covered his head with his hands.

"You still feel the pain? You almost lost your life, do you know? When you have the absolute upper hand, you are explaining your strategy there. Are you sick? If your brain is broken, go to the hospital and register! This is a battle, not a show. Only the one who stands up alive is qualified to receive applause and flowers. After your first sneak attack is successful, this kind of thing will never happen if you resolve the battle as quickly as possible. It is a taboo to relax your vigilance before you are sure that the enemy is completely dead." Yamabuki Detang raised the scabbard in his hand and was ready to hit it again. Aizen quickly turned his head to avoid it.

"You dare to hide! You dare to hide!" Yamabuki Detang reached out and grabbed Aizen's collar, and hit him hard on the head. As a teacher, he would be unworthy of being a teacher if he didn't correct this shortcoming.

"I want you to remember what happened today forever. Whenever you gain the upper hand in a battle, you must recall the painful lesson learned today. Even if you don't want to kill your opponent, you must ensure that the other party has absolutely no ability to fight back. Do you understand?" Shanbuki Ditang said.

Aizen lowered his head and accepted the training obediently.

In fact, he himself is not aware of his own shortcomings.

This shortcoming is fatal.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong. I promise that this will never happen again from now on." Aizen said with his head down.

Seeing Aizen bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Yamabuki Detang's anger subsided a little. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?

"Okay, now that you know you're wrong, go back. Don't blame the teacher for being strict. These experiences were gained with the teacher's blood." Shanbuki Ditang said.

Aizen pulled out his sword and stabbed the back of his hand, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Hmm?" Yamabuki Detang looked at Aizen.

"It's okay, teacher. I have a bad memory. Every time I see the scar on my hand, I will remember what happened today. I will never forget this." Aizen looked at Yamabuki Deita firmly.

Yamabuki Detang looked at Aizen, with a satisfied smile on his lips. You are really worthy of being me, Aizen Sosuke.

"Let's go! I'll give you some medicine when we get back." Shanbuki Ditang said.

Aizen followed his teacher and left obediently.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he had forgotten something.

Forget it, it’s more important to go home with the teacher.

Jungle edge.

Liuzi was still tied up.

"Help! Is anyone hearing me? Come and save me! There is no good man in this world! Help!"

It wasn't until the next morning that Ryuko was discovered and successfully returned to the brothel.

……

The next day in class, Aizen's left hand was wrapped in gauze. It was a little itchy, perhaps because flesh had grown on the wound.

Yamabuki Detang has accumulated a lot of work recently in order to teach Aizen, and is busy correcting the documents in front of him.

Aizen couldn't help but say, "Teacher, do you want me to help you?"

"No need. I don't want you to waste your time on these useless chores." Yamabuki Ditang said without raising his head.

Hirako Mako gave you a thumbs up.

"Then... what should I do today?" Aizen asked.

"Study on your own! Do whatever you want, just don't make trouble. The ultimate purpose of me teaching you these things is to enable you to live freely, not to confine you to a certain position." Shanbuki Ditang said.

Aizen was stunned. In fact, deep down in his heart, he always believed that there must be a reason why Yamabuki Detou was so good to him, maybe to use him, or for some ulterior motives. But as he slowly got to know Yamabuki Detou, he found that the other party seemed to have no purpose at all. He was just teaching him various fighting skills and occasionally enlightening him when he was confused.

Aizen was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a question: "Teacher, what is freedom? Do you... live freely?"

Yamabuki Ditang didn't expect that this child would play philosophy with him.

As expected of you.

Chapter 21: The Great Spiritual Book Corridor

"Freedom?" Yamabuki Ditang tilted his head. "That's a false proposition, because everyone's definition of freedom is different, just like the definition of happiness: a thousand people have a thousand kinds of happiness. But if you ask me... freedom is being able to do what you want without being forced to do what you don't like. It's leisurely and unrestrained. This is the freedom I understand. What about you?"

Aizen smiled bitterly: "I don't know!"

Most young people are confused about the future. They don’t know what they can do or what they should do.

"What should be done and how should be done" are all forced upon children by adults.

"Teacher, I want to read some books, but... there are not many books in the library. Do you know where there are a lot of books?" Aizen asked.

Yamabuki Ditang casually threw out a golden token.

"A pass to the Great Spiritual Book Corridor. Except for the forbidden area, other books can be browsed at will. It's a good thing to read more books. When I was young, I didn't like reading. My dad chased me with a feather duster. Haha!" Shanbuki Ditang felt a little sad. More than five hundred years had passed without him realizing it.

Aizen didn't ask how to get to the restricted area. It was too early now. Even if he knew the truth about this world, it would not change anything.

Moreover, the teacher is one of the people who knows the truth about the world. I wonder if the teacher will tell me these things in the future.

Aizen took the tokens, bowed slightly, and then left Yamabuki Detang's office.

In fact, at this time, Aizen was very shocked. The Great Spirit Book Corridor recorded the entire history of Soul Society, all the big and small things. He originally thought that Yamabuki Toto would never let him get close to the Great Spirit Book Corridor, but he did not expect that Yamabuki Toto would give him the pass to the Great Spirit Book Corridor so readily.

After leaving Yamabuki Detang's office, Aizen carefully looked at the pass to the Great Spiritual Book Corridor.

This is a small token made of gold, only two inches long and about the same width as an adult male's thumb. It feels heavy in the palm of the hand.

Although I can’t enter the restricted book section now, the information and knowledge I can obtain far exceeds that of my peers.

Aizen was a little excited and quickly came to the Great Spirit Book Corridor, which recorded the entire history of Soul Society and was heavily guarded. As soon as Aizen approached the Great Spirit Book Corridor, someone with a weapon stopped him.

"He who comes is stopped."

Aizen didn't say anything, but just showed the pass in his hand. When the two guards saw the pass, their faces immediately became very respectful and they made way for him.

Aizen once thought that the power game between adults was very boring, but now he finds that sometimes power is really useful.

If I don’t have this pass, I don’t know when I can come to the Great Spirit Book Corridor to check the information I want.

There are only a few people who can enter the Great Spiritual Book Corridor, so the environment here is quieter than the library, and can even be described as dead silent. Aizen had just entered the Great Spiritual Book Corridor when the door behind him closed heavily with a dull sound.

"I didn't expect the guards here to be tighter than those in the Central Forty-Six Rooms." Aizen whispered. What he wanted to know most now was the clue about the Soul King. People's curiosity was often uncontrollable. Ever since Aizen knew that all news about the Soul King was kept secret, he wanted to know more about him.

He picked up a book at random and found that it contained information about the sages of the Central Forty-Six Chambers throughout the ages.

"Isn't this considered top secret information?" Aizen muttered softly.

The Central Forty-Six is ​​the highest official organization in Soul Society. Theoretically, the information of every member is kept confidential, but information about these sages can actually be found here.

However, these things had no interest to Aizen at all. He reached out and touched the book, which recorded the discovery history of the major nobles, from millions of years ago to the present.

At this moment, a cough was heard behind Aizen. Aizen hurriedly turned around and put his hand on his sword.

"Who is it?" Aizen shouted in a low voice.

After what happened last night, Aizen is now like a frightened bird, and is very cautious no matter what he does.

"Ahem! Don't mind it, I'm the administrator here, ahem!"

In the dim light, an octogenarian walked out, his face full of wrinkles, but Aizen did not let his guard down.

"It's really lively today. Usually, no one comes here for several months, but today two people came." The old man said with a smile.

Aizen had a gentle smile on his face, but his hand never left the sword.

The old man stared at Aizen and suddenly asked, "Are you the captain of the Gotei 13? Usually only captains are qualified to come here to read books. However, these newcomers obviously don't like reading very much. Alas! Reading is so good!"

Aizen was slightly surprised. It turned out that only captain-level strongmen were qualified to come here to read books?

"Grandpa, I'm not the captain. I'm here to look up some information on behalf of my teacher." Aizen said respectfully.

"Your teacher? Who is your teacher? I don't know much about the outside world." The old man said with a smile.

"My teacher's name is Yamabuki Deitō, have you heard of him?" Aizen asked.

Hearing this name, the old man's eyes instantly became very complicated and he looked at Aizen deeply.

"Oh no, does this old man have a grudge against the teacher?" Aizen felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have told the information so easily.

"I see, so you are his disciple." The old man turned around silently, looking a little lonely: "You better be careful, your teacher is not a good person."

Aizen narrowed his eyes. He certainly would not doubt Yamabuki Detang because of a single sentence. He was now more curious about the identity of this old man.

"Old man, may I ask who you are..."

"Me? I should be the last person from the Tsunayashiro family in this world." The old man sighed.

"The Tsunayashiro family is not..."

"It was destroyed hundreds of years ago, by your teacher himself. My identity is rather special. The Tsunayashiro family is in charge of the Great Spiritual Book Corridor. Every generation has a book slave who is required to be in charge of the library from birth. They cannot leave the Great Spiritual Book Corridor from birth to death. You don't need to be so alert. I don't have any military power, otherwise Yamabuki Detang would not have allowed me to live to this day." The book slave smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect that there was still a member of the Tsunayashiro family left in this world.

Aizen looked at the endless books in the Great Spiritual Book Corridor and suddenly understood his teacher.

It seems that no one except book slaves can manage so many books.

Chapter 22: How to Enter the Restricted Area

"Okay, little kid, what book do you want to read? I can remember every book here." asked the book slave.

"Excuse me, are there any books about the Soul King here?" Aizen asked.

"Go straight in, turn left at the third row and go to the second row. They are all books about the Spirit King. Why does your teacher want to investigate the Spirit King? He is..." The book slave paused and did not dare to continue.

Aizen didn't want to waste any more time with this old man, so he came to the place where the Soul King's books were recorded.

Aizen didn't hold much hope for these books. Sure enough, when he opened the first page, the content inside was basically the same as that in the library.

"It seems that if I want to understand the Soul King, I must find a way to enter the Forbidden Area. There must be true records about the Soul King there." Aizen walked in with the pass in his hand and came to the Forbidden Area.

The forbidden book area is at the innermost part of the Great Spiritual Book Corridor. If you have a floor plan, you can see that the Great Spiritual Book Corridor looks like a huge donut.

The restricted area is the center.

Aizen had just arrived at the door of the restricted area when suddenly several powerful murderous auras locked onto him. The next second, a black shadow flashed and several knives were placed on his neck.

Aizen clearly felt that these Shinigami all had the strength of a high-ranking officer, and he was no match for them at all.

"Can't I get in even with a pass?" Aizen directly showed his pass.

"No proof of entry is possible unless the Correspondent and the Chief of Staff are present in person." The Death Gods said indifferently, their tone devoid of emotion: "Leave this place immediately."

Although Aizen failed to enter the restricted area, he knew the way to get in. Unless his teacher or the captain in person came, he would never be able to enter.

"Okay, I got it. I'll leave now." Aizen raised his hands to show that he had no hostility, then stepped back step by step, until he was out of the sight of these people.

"It seems that we won't be able to get in in a short time." Aizen sighed. These Shinigami only recognize people and not things.

How to do it?

Or you can check out other information! Maybe it will be helpful to you.

Aizen suddenly remembered that the book slave had just said that there was another person in the Great Spirit Book Corridor. Who was it?

Aizen saw another person according to the book slave's instructions.

It turned out to be the captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku Shunsui was a little surprised to see Aizen, but he soon put on a smile.

"Aizen, we meet again."

The two had met once before at the Shino Spiritual Academy.

"Captain Kyoraku, long time no see." Aizen bowed slightly, being very polite.

"How did you get here? The information recorded here is too old for you." asked Kyoraku Shunsui.

The Great Spiritual Book Corridor records a lot of history, and it is the most authentic history. Unfortunately, it contains many dark sides, and if young people read too much, they may develop psychological problems.

"I just said that I wanted to read more books, so the teacher gave me a pass and let me browse through them at will. Actually, I'm a little confused. I don't know where to start reading. There are so many books here." Aizen smiled.

Kyoraku Shunsui was quite concerned about his own strength. He looked at the bookshelf in front of him, then took out a book from the shelf and sent it over.

"I suggest you start with this book at your age." Kyoraku Shunsui handed over a chronicle of Soul Society, which roughly sorted out the history of Soul Society.

"But the teacher is really partial. You should know that only the incumbent captains are qualified to enter the Great Spiritual Book Corridor to read these historical books. He actually gave the pass to you. I asked him for it back then and he kept it like a treasure. Maybe the old man saw that I have no talent for reading!" Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but complain in a low voice. When he was studying with Yamabuki Detang, the most common thing the master and apprentice did was to go out for drinks together secretly.

"I still have work to do. You take your time to look at it here. I'm leaving first." Kyoraku Shunsui reached out and pressed down his hat. After saying hello to Aizen, he left.

After flipping through the books, Aizen found that there was no book that interested him. He sighed slightly and prepared to leave.
