Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 4 004: A Hundred Years Ago

The brief but impressive exchange ended quickly. After learning about Arima Shizuya's purpose, Aizen helped explain it to the teacher.

After all, he is a member of the 5th Division with a seat in the squad.

Compared to this ordinary teacher who is just eating and waiting to die in the academy and has no knowledge or skills, this identity is still somewhat oppressive.

Coupled with such polite and implicit words, what could there be to be dissatisfied about now that things have come to this?

The other party could only accept Arima Shizuya's apology reluctantly.

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result is always good. Shizuya-kun, please make sure to strike a balance between life and study next time."

Thank you very much to Aizen for his help this time. In response to the other party's instructions, the boy solemnly agreed.

As he was about to leave, Aizen seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and added with a smile.

"By the way, there is a lecture tonight that I specially invited you to. Remember not to be late."

Speaking of which.

Perhaps it was because of this matter that Aizen didn't come to preside over the class meeting yesterday.

"Did Mr. Aizen invite someone very important here?"

The person concerned just smiled shyly, then nodded slightly and spoke in a pretentious tone.

"He should be a man who can surprise Shizuya-kun. Well, just treat it as a new experience. It is necessary to get to know some people appropriately."

What kind of expert is he to be given such a high evaluation?

Although I was very curious, I couldn't miss the afternoon classes.

After a while, I have gradually improved some of my basic skills.

This down-to-earth feeling of seeing the rewards with the naked eye is truly addictive.

Arima Shizuka also felt like a sponge, greedily and diligently absorbing all the nutrients around her.

And regarding Aizen's doubts.

The answer was given just a few hours later by a lazy figure standing on the podium.

The other party stood on the podium very loosely. He raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion with his little finger, with a very tired expression on his face.

"What? I'm the captain, so I'm the one speaking to the freshmen? Don't you think that's too unmanageable?"

A man with long yellow hair with bangs, a weird smile and lazy eyes was standing on the podium in a nonchalant manner.

The previous remarks were directed at Aizen who was standing to the side.

Faced with this complaining tone, the latter did not get angry at all, but instead smiled and comforted him.

"After all, this is my first time as a teacher, and I am afraid that my remarks may cause an inappropriate impact on everyone."

and so.

Aizen pushed up his glasses and added slowly.

"I think that at a time like this, only the then captain of the Thirteenth Division can give a pertinent and reference-worthy answer."

An impeccable response.

But unfortunately, the other party did not take the usual 'path'.

"Tsk, but these people may not join the Thirteenth Division after graduation, right? Even if they do, they won't choose the ugly and troublesome Fifth Division. After all, rescue work is boring. So am I here to give a speech just to help others train their subordinates..."

"Captain, please don't speak your mind."

"What does it matter? No one else will hear it anyway."

The two people on the stage were chatting away, and there didn't seem to be any airs between them.

But everyone under the podium had a serious expression on their faces, because the yellow-haired man was wearing a white long-sleeved haori embroidered with the 5th Division number.

The identity of the man whom Aizen can call captain is naturally obvious.

"Ah~ Come to think of it, I forgot to introduce myself."

The yellow-haired man showed his signature sarcastic smile on his face.

"As you can see, I am a bit frivolous and unreliable, but I am the captain of the Fifth Division."

"He is also your instructor, the boss of Aizen Sosuke."

"To be honest, our Fifth Division is short on personnel right now. We are in great need of manpower, so today we are here to say hello."

"If you decide to join the Gotei 13, please...please join our Fifth Division!"

"Oh, yeah, my name is..."

He half turned and wrote his name on the blackboard.

Zi Zhen Zi Ping.

The font looks very strange, as if it were a completely mirrored inverted version - being able to write a mirrored font so smoothly by hand must have taken a lot of effort.

The mocking expression on the other person's face also illustrates this point at this moment.

"That's all. Please take care of me."

The people in the audience still had tense faces, even though they wanted to complain...

After all, this is obviously not a name that a normal person would come up with.

But due to the other party's authority as captain, plus the bonus of it being their first meeting.

The students who were not even soldiers dared not even breathe. Only one person broke the silence at this moment.

"Excuse me, about this..."

The voice came from the last row.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who was speaking was Arima Shizuya, who was sitting in the last row.

The boy looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It can be seen that he obviously thought for a long time before finally choosing to speak.

"Captain, is your name... written backwards?"

In this kind of situation, speaking in such an imprudent tone would seem like an overstepping of the mark to anyone.

But only the yellow-haired man on the stage showed an interested expression.

He simply raised his right hand, pointed it slightly in the direction of Arima Shizuya with interest, and said with a smile on his face.

"Oh~ You have a good sense of humor! You can understand the essence of my intention. You know, I have been practicing writing backwards for a long time! Are you... also a genius?"

This guy said something that seemed very extraordinary with a calm expression.

Of course, he did not wait for Arima Shizuya's response and quickly added on his own.

"Anyway, I'm not a conservative person. So you can be a little more casual. It's okay. The Fifth Division is such a casual organization."

Aizen at the side pushed up his glasses and spoke cautiously.

"Captain, this will give the freshmen some irrational understanding of our rescue team..."

"It doesn't matter. No one wants to come to such a rustic team anyway, and we can't even fill the annual quota!"

"No, no, no, no, even if you want to complain, you can't do it in this kind of situation."

Arima Shizuka looked at the atmosphere which had eased, and the expression on her face became a little strange.

Who could have thought that the two people who were getting along so harmoniously now would become like that a hundred years later... Quack! Time is really a butcher's knife!
A class meeting ended quickly.

Hirako Mako's speech was indeed, as he said, not something serious.

The whole game lasts forty-five minutes.

He just stood in the perspective of previous graduates and complained about the food in the cafeteria, the incompetence of the teachers, the unreasonable class schedule, etc.

Basically the whole article reveals a lot of resentment and has a strong personal style.

It can be said that it is neither right nor wrong to listen.

But afterwards, Mako Hirako suddenly changed the subject.

"Although these are unhappy things when I think back, it is an unforgettable experience anyway."

"Exercise well and rest well. Don't waste your time, and don't wait until after graduation to regret it and say something like 'Oh, I should have worked harder earlier.'"

"After all, that would sound pretty stupid, wouldn't it?"

It was not a comfort, nor an encouragement. It was more like a teasing tone, but it made people feel more impressed.

Time is almost up, and the already short evening self-study period has come to an end.

At the very end, Mako Hirako once again showed her signature sarcastic smile.

"You said a lot of things. It seems that people tend to become more verbose as they get older."

"Well, speaking from the perspective of a senior who has graduated, I'll use this sentence to sum it up."

"Dear freshmen, please keep working hard. That's all."

He came without much fanfare and left in a slovenly manner.

Just as he introduced himself, this guy who looked completely demotivated simply walked off the stage.

When he approached the gate, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.

While turning towards everyone, he raised his right hand, pointed at Aizen beside him, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Besides, you should be somewhat grateful to this instructor. If he hadn't taken the time to come to the Fifth Division yesterday, I wouldn't have come to participate in such a boring activity."

The scope of Seireitei is very large.

Originally, Arima Shizuka had only read the comics and didn't have a corresponding concept yet.

Now that he has lived for so many years, he has already understood all the rules and regulations here.

If you just walk, it will take a whole day to go from here to the 13th Squad’s barracks and back.

And considering the distribution and responsibilities between the team houses, the distance between them is quite far.

Although no one knows what means Aizen used to travel quickly, no matter what, his thoughts and attitude are deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

If we are discussing what kind of attitude a responsible teacher should have, then today's Aizen seems to be the most suitable example.

Of course, as the person involved wishes, Aizen doesn't seem to want to cause too much trouble.

Now faced with this "accusation", he could only smile bitterly and spoke in a cautious and helpless tone.

"Captain, please keep this a secret for me next time."

Hirako Mako smiled as he passed by her and patted Aizen's shoulder nonchalantly.

"You should be more generous when doing things, you guy~"
