From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 450: Bane’s direct disciple, Aizen Sosuke!

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Spirit Master." Aizen said happily after hearing this.

Before, he had secretly concealed his terrifying power. Hiding the power was not a problem. Zanpakuto was a very personal matter. In fact, it was a bit impolite for Bane to ask like this, but the relationship between the two was different, so it was a different matter.

Throughout the Soul Society, there are many people who hide the abilities of their Zanpakutō.

Up to now, only a very few people know about Bane's Bankai, and the rest of the people are completely unaware of it.

That's hiding.

But hiding is one thing, but if you make up something, that would be wrong. What is illegal about Aizen's Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is that he used the real power of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon to construct a false Shikai to deceive others.

He cannot bear this matter. Once discovered, he will definitely be punished. In addition, with his ability of Shijie, combined with this kind of deception, it is like mud falling into his crotch. It is shit if not shit. He can catch it with one shot. There is no need for trial. He can just sentence him directly.

But if Bane knew about this, the situation would be different. This matter would become Bane's. Aizen's current status made it impossible for him to handle such a thing, but Bane could. Not to mention whether Aizen would be discovered with his level, even if he was discovered, Bane would support him and things would not get out of control.

It has been said before that Bane's test of Aizen was to determine his future attitude and arrangements towards Aizen.

If Aizen had concealed all this, Bane would not have exposed him, but continuing to train Aizen would be treating him as a tool and training him with impure purposes.

Now, after taking many factors into consideration, Aizen finally confessed his illusions to Bane. No matter what the reason was, it was enough for Bane.

After taking a sip of tea, Ben placed the cup on the table, took out a badge from his arms and threw it away.

Aizen caught the badge very accurately and looked at Bane with a slightly surprised expression.

"What are you doing?" Aizen asked after a moment of hesitation.

"There are only two of my personal badges in Soul Society. One is the one in your hand, and the other is in Orochimaru's hand. From today on, with this badge, you can freely enter and exit the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts. In Soul Society, except for a few places, no one will stop you." Bane said carelessly.

"Do Orochimaru-sensei and I have one each?" Aizen Sosuke pondered for a moment, then looked at Ben and said, "Master Reizun, are you going to take me in as a retainer?"

The fact that Orochimaru is a retainer of Bane is widely known in the Soul Society, which is why Orochimaru can occasionally "cross the line" without being held accountable.

"What? You don't want to?" Bane asked casually.

Aizen did not agree immediately to please Ben, but stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Whether I am willing or not, I have no feelings yet, but at least I don't object."

He was a high-ranking person from Rukongai, with no background or backing. If he could become a retainer of Bane, it didn't seem to be something difficult to accept.

But before Aizen could finish, Ben waved his hand and said, "Not a retainer."

"Huh?" These words stunned Aizen, and he looked at Bane with even more confusion.

"From today on, I will accept you as my personal disciple." Ben looked at Aizen and said in a stern tone.

Bane has a lot of students. After all, he is the teacher of Kidōin at the Shinō Spiritual Academy. In the Gotei 13, many people now call him "teacher" when they meet him, like Byakuya Kuchiki, who used to call him Bane.

It's not just him, Yamamoto Genryusai, Unohana Retsu, Shutara Senjumaru and others are the same.

But these were not true master-disciple relationships, they were just teaching in the academy. The only true master-disciple relationship was between Yamamoto Genryusai and Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, and Kisaragi Kinsei, who established a true master-disciple relationship.

Therefore, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, and Kisaragi Kinsei were all direct disciples of Yamamoto Genryusai.

There is no need to say much about Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro. This guy Kisaragi has a relatively low presence. He is currently the chief officer of the First Division and is under the command of Yamamoto Genryusai. People may not have much impression of him, but his son is a bit more interesting. He was the one who took over the position of captain of the Third Division after Ichimaru Gin followed Aizen to defect to Hueco Mundo.

In short, the status of a direct disciple is very important. In the Soul Society's concept, it is equivalent to a father-son relationship.

As a teacher, Bane has to take responsibility for Aizen, his disciple.

Aizen didn't seem to have expected such a thing to happen. His expression was a little shocked, a little bewildered, then a little complicated, and finally turned into a look of joy. He respectfully filled the teacup that Ben had placed on the table with tea, then raised his hands, presented it to Ben and said, "Master."

"Just call me teacher. Calling me master sounds too old." Ben raised his hand and took the tea.

"Yes, teacher, please take care of me in the future." Aizen said sincerely.

"I am your teacher. When you do things in the future, please consider me more. You are a genius. I have been working at the Shinō Academy for more than 160 years and I have never seen a better talent than you. You will definitely achieve something in the future." Ban first recognized and praised Aizen's talent. Not to mention his 160 years of teaching career, looking at the history of Soul Society over the years, there are few people more talented than Aizen Sosuke.

"I won't say anything myself, so as not to sound boastful. As for how to behave and do things, you should learn more from the captain. Watch what he says, what he does, and what he is like. I have always admired the character of the captain." Bane said briefly.

Later, Aizen, who wanted to stand in the sky, was seen by Bane as pursuing power too much, becoming addicted to power and eventually falling into the Hogyoku.

It’s not that the Hogyoku is bad, nor that there is anything wrong with pursuing power, but judging from Aizen’s performance at the time, he was more or less driven by power.

When it comes to mastering power, Bane thinks Yamamoto Genryusai can be said to be a model among the strong!
Some say he is pedantic, some say he is stubborn, and some say he is a hypocrite.

But in Bane's opinion, Yamamoto Genryusai possesses an extremely resolute and calm mind. His strongest point is not the Ryujin Jakka in his hand that is said to be able to burn the three realms, but the strong heart that can return the Ryujin Jakka to the scabbard!
Have power, but don't be proud of it.

Sticking to your original intention and always maintaining your true self is the highest level of strength!
These are some of the things that Bane has learned from Yamamoto Genryusai over the years since he came to Soul Society.

When he was in the Ninja World, he had a feeling of being "on top of the world", and his mentality was undoubtedly very inflated. However, after he met Yamamoto Genryusai in the Soul Society and developed a gentlemanly friendship with him, Bane learned a lot from this captain-general.

He had previously been a little restless in the ninja world, but over the past 160 years, his heart had gradually settled down.

He still pursues power, but not excessively, and is no longer so unscrupulous.

What did that sentence say?

On the first day of becoming Superman, I will protect the earth and uphold justice.

The next day after becoming Superman, I will protect my earth.

On the third day of becoming Superman, I stopped eating beef.

The fourth day of becoming a superman, oh my, are you really eating?
Bane's current mentality should be that of the fifth day, which means he starts eating beef again, while Yamamoto Genryusai's mentality should be that of the first day, as he wants to defend justice.

The truth is that seeing a mountain is still a mountain is nothing more than this.

For Bane, this improvement in mentality is a practice to prevent himself from becoming a slave to power.

"Yes, teacher, I will follow your instructions." Aizen agreed immediately.

At the same time, I was a little curious. What was so outstanding about the captain who was so highly respected by Ling Zun?
"As for your illusions, it's a good thing that you can tell me. I can use this as an excuse to protect you in the future. As for concealing it, to be honest, if something big happens, you can't hide it. I have talked to you about the Soul King Palace, but I haven't told you about the Zero Squad." Bane said here and took a sip of tea.

After moistening his throat a little, Ben continued under Aizen's curious gaze, "In Soul Society, except for me, everyone's Zanpakuto is originally a shallow attack, and all shallow attacks come from one person, the Western God General of Squad Zero, Nimaiya Oyue. All abilities that are based on shallow attacks and sublimated into Zanpakuto cannot escape his attention. In other words, if he wants to know the ability of your Zanpakuto, he will know it. Do you understand?"

"You mean to say that he already knew it since the day Kyoka Suigetsu was born?" Aizen asked in surprise.

He really didn't know these secrets, and at the same time he was even more curious, why was Lingzun's Zanpakutō different?
"He can know, but he may not know. There are countless Zanpakuto in Soul Society. How can he live if he keeps staring at them all day?" Bane smiled and waved his hand.

"I understand." Aizen finally seemed to understand and responded.

Without discussing these things with Aizen too much, Bane quickly began to test Aizen's recent academic progress.

After a conversation between the master and the disciple, Bane further understood Aizen's current situation. This guy is indeed a genius among geniuses.

It was already amazing that Shiba Kaien completed six years of credits in one year, and Aizen can be said to have also achieved this goal. However, compared to Shiba Kaien, who wants to maintain the little remaining glory of the Shiba family as much as possible all the time, Aizen Sosuke is more low-key.

But earning credits is earning credits, and credits are just a measure to ensure that the graduating Death God meets the basic standards.

Even though Aizen could complete all the credits right now, he had no plans to graduate on the spot. In his words, he was ready to continue to settle down in the academy.

"It's a good thing that you can calm down, but don't be too demanding. Four of my subordinates will go to the 12th Division to serve as vice-captains tomorrow. I will keep this position for you. After you graduate, you can come to work in our 9th Division." Bane said after thinking for a while.

Although it seems that Aizen has not encountered any problems so far, which is within the normal range, and even because of Bane's deliberate guidance, his development should be better than in the original story.

But Bane still felt that he had to keep an eye on him.

Otherwise, if you are not paying attention, he will give you a big blow.
