Chapter 182 Soul Society
Chapter 182 Soul Society
Soul Society.
This is a world where the god of death and the souls of people who died in this world live together.
If I must describe what kind of place this is, I can only say that this is a world with a very deep hierarchy.
It is like the era when samurai were still walking freely in the world. The buildings are somewhat retro and have a sense of age. The streets are rarely paved with stone bricks, but are basically repaired dirt roads. People on the street mainly wear kimonos, making people feel like they have returned to the Taisho period, or even an even more distant era.
Of course, this is just where ordinary souls live.
Soul Society is generally divided into two parts, one is the Seireitei located in the center, and the other is the Rukongai that surrounds the entire Seireitei.
The residents of Seireitei are the Shinigami, the nobles, and the main ruling class of Soul Society.
The residents of Rukongai are ordinary souls, divided into four directions: east, west, south and north. Each direction is divided into eighty areas. District 1 is closest to Seireitei and has the best security. District 80 is farthest from Seireitei and is therefore the place with the worst security.
Every soul sent to Soul Society by the Grim Reaper will randomly come to a certain area on Rukongai, where they will look for a family that suits them, live together with each other, and become family members and relatives.
Due to the rules of Soul Society, even if souls die at the same time in the same place, they rarely come to the same area, so the families in Rukongai are basically new families formed for the purpose of keeping each other together, and they are not relatives who lived together during their lifetime.
Naturally, as a place where ordinary people live, life in Rukongai is not rich, but relatively poor, and the farther away from Seireitei, the poorer it is.
There is generally only one way to leave Rukongai and live in the wealthy Seireitei.
That is to possess spiritual power and enter the only academy in Soul Society that has the function of cultivating spiritual power - the Maou Spiritual Academy to study.
Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy was established a thousand years ago by the captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, to train future members of the Kidōshu, Hidenō and the Gotei 13, allowing ordinary souls to gain power and become Shinigami. It is an educational institution.
The door here is always open and welcomes everyone to join. Even if you are from Rukongai, as long as you pass the exam, you can be enrolled and learn how to become a Shinigami.
In the Soul Society, almost all the Shinigami who came from Rukongai are graduates of this academy. Whether it is the Gotei 13 that protects Soul Society and the real world, the Secret Mobile that performs highly secretive tasks, or the Kidōshu that specializes in opening passages, setting up barriers, and sealing dangerous objects, there are a large number of original residents of Rukongai who graduated from here.
The registration location is also completely open to the public. It is located in the West Block of Rukongai in Soul Society. Just go south 100 meters from the White Gate used to enter Seireitei and turn right to arrive.
Today, at this registration point, an entrance examination is in full swing.
"Spiritual power level 21! Passed!"
"Spiritual power level 23! Passed!"
"Spiritual power is not up to standard! Unqualified!"
"Unqualified!"
"Unqualified!"
Amid the resonant voices, the people gathered here who were taking the entrance exams, some showed expressions of joy, some showed expressions of sorrow, some were nervous, and some were calm and composed, allowing all kinds of life to be fully displayed here.
A group of people dressed neatly in white, obviously from the Maou Spiritual Academy, organized the entrance examination.
The content of the exam is also very simple, it is just to test spiritual power.
The so-called spiritual power refers to the concentration of spiritual pressure residing in the spirit body, which is a unit of measurement originally used by the nobility.
As long as there is spiritual power, some of it will be strong while others will be weak.
Reiatsu refers to the density of the soul.
The greater the density of the soul, the stronger the spiritual pressure, and its relationship with spiritual power is like the relationship between water and water pressure, and the atmosphere and air pressure.
The stronger a person's spiritual pressure is, the more spiritual power they can mobilize, and the control they have depends on each person's ability.
Spiritual power is what measures the upper and lower limits of spiritual pressure. The higher the level of spiritual power, the higher the potential of spiritual pressure that the individual can exert. Therefore, the level of spiritual power has become the admission standard to the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy.
If one wants to study at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy, one must possess at least level 25 spiritual power.
If one does not even have the twenty-fifth level of spiritual power, he will be rejected by the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy.
The higher the level of spiritual power, the more attention you will receive in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy.
It is a pity that, during the entire period of the entrance examination, no one has yet appeared whose spiritual power has reached the twentieth level.
Spiritual power level 20. This is the normal spiritual power level of previous graduates of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts, and it is also the normal spiritual power level of ordinary soldiers in the Gotei 13.
If there is a student who has reached the twentieth level of spiritual power before entering school, then normally this person can study smoothly until graduation.
As for spiritual powers above the tenth level, they are already true geniuses and can even become chief officers in the Gotei 13.
In previous entrance examinations, whenever there was a person whose spiritual power reached level ten or above, that person would immediately become a popular commodity.
But there are too few such talents, and sometimes one may not appear in several sessions.
However, today, the history of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts is destined to be recorded in a harsh light.
"Zheng——" When a dazzling light like a light explosion appeared on an instrument used to test spiritual power, the entire audience instantly fell into stagnation and silence.
A young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old stood in front of the instrument, one hand on it, bathing in the light.
Nearby, a white-clad staff member from the Shinō Academy was speechless due to the bright light, and spoke only after a long while, stammering.
“Spiritual, spiritual power… second class!”
Second-class spiritual power!
This word made everyone present feel dizzy.
After a long time, there was a great uproar and a terrible sensation in the audience.
…………
Soul Society, Seireitei.
As the center and important place of Soul Society, this place is a completely different world from Rukongai.
This place is quite huge, with an area of approximately 418327 thousand square spirit miles and a radius of about 365 spirit miles. The entire place is arranged in a circle with huge streets. If you walk around it, it will take about days to complete the journey.
The environment within Seireitei is also extremely beautiful, with large tracts of grassland and low mountains. Most of the buildings on the streets are stone houses with tiled roofs and a pleasant appearance.
Compared to here, Rukongai is a complete slum.
The walls around Seireitei are also built with murderous stones that can block spiritual power. This kind of murderous stone can release waves that decompose spiritual power and produce a spherical protective shield, which is deployed from all aspects from the air to the underground to protect Seireitei. Souls with average spiritual power cannot break through here and enter it. It can be said that it clearly separates the classes from the common people and is an extreme manifestation of the hierarchy.
But today, in the Soul Society, there were many voices discussing the residents of Rukongai.
"Have you heard? This year, a student with second-class spiritual power appeared in the Maou Spiritual Academy!"
"They seem to be residents of Rukongai, right? And they came from the back area..."
"No way? Second-class spiritual power?"
"Isn't that the spiritual power of the captain level?!"
"Why would such a genius appear in a place like Rukongai?"
"Second-class spiritual power, that's a level of spiritual power that even some captains haven't reached. How can a commoner from Rukongai have spiritual power that exceeds that of some captains right after entering school?"
"is that a lie?"
"It's true. I heard that the captains of each division have been alarmed, and many people in the dormitory are discussing this matter."
"I heard that the captain was alarmed."
"This is really..."
Shinigami dressed in black kimonos with Zanpakutōs slung around their waists were either walking on the streets or appearing in certain buildings, gathering in groups of three or four, discussing the same topic.
Many people were surprised by this incident, and even more were shocked.
There is no way, the second-class spiritual power is too scary.
You know, among the Gotei 13 who protect the safety of Seireitei and are responsible for maintaining the order of Soul Society and the real world, there are only a handful of Shinigami who can reach the second-class spiritual power.
The Gotei 13, as the name suggests, has a total of thirteen divisions, all of whose members are Shinigami, and their levels are extremely clear.
Each team of the Gotei 13 has a captain, a vice-captain, and several officers. The seats of the officers are generally arranged in order of strength, and the officers in the latter positions need to assist the ones in front of them.
The deputy captain needs to assist the captain, the third officer needs to assist the deputy captain, the fourth officer needs to assist the third, and so on, until the end, when each squad has an average of more than two hundred grassroots team members.
Among these numerous Grim Reapers, the spiritual power of ordinary team members is only around level 20, and those with level 10 spiritual power are already qualified to become chief officers. The spiritual power level of the deputy captain is only level 4 or 5, and even the captain-level Grim Reaper has only level 3 spiritual power.
Second-class spiritual power?
What is this concept?
Are you a freshman?
What is this concept?
Anyway, the entire Soul Society was in an uproar, even the high-ranking nobles were alarmed by it, and people from all walks of life began to confirm the authenticity of the news, and some even left their homes and went to the Maou Spiritual Academy.
And in the first squadron barracks of the Soul Society, in the room of the captain-in-chief of the Gotei 13, an old man was sitting here.
He was an old man with a calm, dignified appearance, and a slightly kind look.
The old man had no hair, many wrinkles on his face, prominent cheekbones, and two cross-shaped scars on the right side of his forehead caused by knife wounds. He had long eyebrows and a beard, a waist-length silver-white beard tied with a purple band, a strong body, and was wearing a Kyoto purple haori.
At this moment, on the document in front of the old man was a person's intelligence information.
"Aize..."
Looking at the name on the information, the old man seemed thoughtful.
