Chapter 197 Will he take action?

The soul burial practice was indeed not dangerous, just as Hisagi Shuhei had said.

Now that the Hollows have been purified by the Shinigami of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13, soul burial has become quite simple. All one has to do is find the soul wandering in the human world and hit the opponent's forehead with the hilt of the Zanpakutō.

As long as one has a Zanpakutō and doesn't encounter a Hollow, anyone can easily complete Soul Burial.

In fact, the purification work can also be done as long as you have a Zanpakutō.

Because when a Hollow is killed with a Zanpakutō, the Hollow will be purified and restored to its original state and sent to Soul Society, so the purification of a Hollow can be done as long as one has a Zanpakutō.

Of course, the virtual is different from the real. It is a monster that devours souls. It is not easy to kill it without a certain level of strength.

Only after obtaining a Zanpakutō can the soul burial ceremony and purification work be carried out. Therefore, after obtaining the shallow attack, the students of the Maou Spiritual Academy will begin soul burial and practical combat courses.

Now, the soul burial practice went very smoothly without any accidents, allowing everyone to return to the forest very smoothly in the evening and gather in front of Hisagi Shuhei and others.

"very good."

Hisagi Shuhei also felt relieved that the soul burial practice went smoothly, and nodded while speaking to everyone.

"The soul burial internship ends here. Next up is actual combat training using simulated virtual reality."

"We sixth graders have already chosen the location, and the barrier class has already set up a barrier there, so no one will barge in."

"However, unlike soul burial, actual combat is risky. Even if the opponent is only simulating a virtual being, there is still a possibility of accidents."

"Therefore, during actual combat training, you need to divide into teams of three and fight together."

Hisagi Shuhei's companions then brought the box for drawing lots and passed it in front of everyone.

"The grouping is determined by drawing lots. Each person can only draw once, and those who draw the same mark are in the same group."

Having said this, Hisagi Shuhei suddenly made an announcement.

"In the case of a group of three, one of you will be left out and unable to complete the team."

"We discussed it and finally decided to give the selection to this person."

"The person who draws an empty ticket can choose to withdraw from this internship and stay with us, or choose to act with one of the other groups."

Hearing this, a group of students immediately started whispering.

"Then we must choose one of the groups to act together, right?"

"This is a rare opportunity for actual combat. Who would be willing to give it up?"

"I, I kind of want to give up..."

"No way? The opponent is just a simulation of a Hollow, you know?"

"But I'm still a little scared..."

Everyone exchanged opinions with each other. Some said they were unwilling to miss this opportunity, while others were hesitant and seemed a little afraid.

Hisagi Shuhei ignored the freshmen and prepared to let them draw lots.

However, at this time, a voice appeared.

"Senior, can you give me this empty signature opportunity?"

When this sentence appeared on the scene, everyone was stunned.

"you……"

Hisagi Shuhei frowned and wanted to say something, but when he saw the person who had spoken, he stopped talking.

"Ai-kun?"

"What do you want to do?"

Kira Izuru and Abarai Renji both spoke in surprise.

That’s right, the person who spoke was Aize.

"…You don't want to participate in actual combat training? Or is there someone you want to act with?"

Hisagi Shuhei was silent for a while, then asked this question.

"No, none of them." Aize shook his head and said calmly: "I want to act alone, is that ok?"

"one person?"

Hisagi Shuhei was also stunned.

"One, one person acting?"

The others were even more surprised.

In the first actual combat, someone actually wants to act alone?
Should we say that the other person is brave or stupid?

If it were someone else, the students present might have said the same thing.

But this person is Aize, and they actually feel speechless.

“Okay.” Hisagi Shuhei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “If it’s you, there shouldn’t be any problem even if you act alone.”

This is undoubtedly a recognition of Aize's strength.

Although Hisagi Shuhei has not seen Aize take action yet, based on the level of instant movement that Aize showed today, he has reason to believe that even if the other party encounters an accident, he will be able to retreat calmly.

Furthermore, Hisagi Shuhei had heard a lot of rumors about Aize.

For example, in the kendo class, the opponent has never been defeated, and the highest record is 24 consecutive wins in one day.

For another example, in the Kidō class, his progress was always much faster than others and his grades were always top of the class.

The only unremarkable thing about the other party is probably that his performance in the Baida class is very average, unlike his outstanding performance in other courses.

However, even the captains of the Gotei 13 may not be proficient in all four skills, and it is already very remarkable that Aize can master three of them. In addition, with the second-class spiritual power, it seems that it is not unacceptable for such a genius to act alone in a real combat training that only uses simulated hollows.

Rather, he would feel constrained if he acted with others?

After all, no one can keep up with him.

Perhaps, the other party proposed this based on such considerations?
Thinking of this, Hisagi Shuhei naturally had no reason to object.

"Then you can act alone. The people other than you can just make up a group of three."

After Hisagi Shuhei made his decision, he asked everyone to start drawing lots.

After looking at each other for a while, the freshmen drew lots silently. No one raised any objections.

Their thoughts were the same as Hisagi Shuhei's, and they all felt that it would not be impossible for Aize to act alone.

"Really? What are you trying to do?"

Only Abarai Renji was muttering to himself, but he didn't raise any objections.

Anyway, it's just a simulated battle. The opponents are all simulated virtual beings and will not devour souls. Even if you are not their opponents, the most you will suffer is some injuries.

Abarai Renji who was thinking this didn't know that Aize was looking up at the gradually darkening sky, thinking silently in his heart.

"If anything unexpected were to happen, it would most likely happen during the next actual combat training."

Not acting with others is to make it easier for yourself to act.

"Will you do it?"

Aize muttered to himself.

Just like that, the drawing of lots was successfully concluded, and the students in Class 1 formed teams and, under the leadership of Hisagi Shuhei, headed to the actual combat training site.

…………

It was an uninhabited industrial area.

This area is close to the sea and seems to also serve as a warehouse, so buildings other than factories can be seen everywhere, filled with all kinds of sundries.

The sixth grade students of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy arrived here first. Some set up barriers, while others stood guard and monitored in various places, striving to ensure that this practical training can proceed smoothly and prevent any accidents.

The simulated virtual creature has also been deployed, and is now wandering around in every corner while making hollow noises.

Their appearances are all kinds of strange, some are close to human, some are close to beast, and some are in between. Their skin is of various colors, and some look like they are covered with a layer of shell. Their whole body is full of inorganic feeling.

Although the appearance of Xu varies, they all have some common features.

They have holes in their chests, representing their inner emptiness and loss of soul.

They also wear masks on their faces, representing that they have lost their original appearance and no longer have the looks they had in life.

Emptiness and masks, these are the characteristics of all voids.

The same is true for the simulated voids wandering here. Some are big, some are small, some look very strange, and some look pretty good, but without exception they all have holes on their chests and hideous masks on their faces, making it clear that they are monsters and evil spirits.

"Shh!"

Aize's figure appeared on the top floor of a building and landed on the rooftop.

"Roar!"

A simulated virtual being hiding in the shadows suddenly jumped out and attacked Aize with a hollow cry.

Its speed is not fast, it can even be called slow, and it is a level that even first-year students can react to in time.

In Aize's eyes, it was as slow as a turtle, so much so that he didn't even look at the opponent, nor did he draw his sword. He just stretched out a finger and pointed at the opponent's head.

"Broken Path No. 4: White Thunder."

In an instant, lightning flashed from Aize’s outstretched fingertips.

"Oh!"

A beam of lightning shot out from Aize's fingertips, instantly piercing through the head of the simulated virtual being, shattering its mask and head.

"------"

The headless simulation stopped moving, swayed a few times, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"call……"

The wind blew gently, and the headless body of Simulation Xu turned into dust and dissipated, without even a drop of blood left.

"So weak..."

Aize was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"This kind of thing, let alone the me now, even when I was still learning the world of war, I could easily slaughter a large group of them, right?"

Aize was not referring to himself after obtaining the Black Furnace Demon Sword, but to himself when he had just obtained extraordinary powers and just became a member of the Star Vein generation.

I am only considered to be of average level in the Star Guide Academy. When I encounter this kind of simulated Hollow, I should be able to kill it with one blow, right?

"You call this actual combat training? Are you sure this isn't just playing house?"

Aize started to mutter to himself.

"I might as well go fight Abarai with wooden swords..."

Now, Aize actually wanted to encounter an accident.

At the very least, he could get some real combat experience and stretch his rusty body.
