Restricted Death

Chapter 1 Tachi River

"I say, kid, don't be so ungrateful. Isn't the position of a chief officer enough for you? For a student at the Spiritual Arts Academy who hasn't even graduated yet, it's already a great fortune for you to receive such treatment!"

At the dinner table, Xin looked drunk, as if he was trying hard to see the blonde woman with an impressive figure sitting opposite him.

The atmosphere in the izakaya was a bit noisy, and the distance between each table of guests was not far, but the table where Xin was sitting was really eye-catching. Of course, the one who attracted attention was not Xin, but the person sitting opposite him.

"Official...how many seats are there?" Xin asked with a thick tongue.

"Twenty-three seats."

"Third seat." Xin suddenly realized, "Well, since Miss Rangiku has invited me so graciously, I can't refuse."

Matsumoto Rangiku looked at the young boy in front of her with a strange expression and said, "Are you really drunk or just pretending to be drunk?"

She immediately smiled and said, "You can be the third seat if you want. As long as you can defeat the current third seat of our team, I can help you with other tasks."

Xin immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I hate fighting and killing the most."

Matsumoto Rangiku picked up the chopsticks on the table and tapped the other person on the head, seeming a little angry.

"Don't forget who recommended you to the Spiritual Arts Academy!"

Xin was not annoyed, as if he had just seen something when the other person leaned over to hit him. He just put his hand on his cheek and looked at the other person lazily, grinning foolishly: "Of course I remember how good Miss Rangiku was to me. Miss Rangiku is really beautiful."

Matsumoto Rangiku raised her eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile: "When you join our team, you will be able to see me often."

Xin waved his hand dazedly: "No, I still have to go to class. How can we meet every day? I skipped kendo class today. I don't know if Xiubing will help me cover."

Matsumoto Rangiku heard him talking nonsense and couldn't help but wonder, is this kid really drunk?
She said, "I heard that you're a celebrity in school now. It's okay for ordinary people to skip classes, but you skipped a kendo class, how could your teacher not know?"

Tachigawa Nobu is now the fourth reborn of the Maou Spiritual Arts Institute. A few years ago, Matsumoto Rangiku met him by chance in Rukongai and found that his spiritual pressure level was quite good among ordinary people, so she recommended him to become a Shinigami.

As Matsumoto Rangiku expected, this guy soon showed extraordinary talent in the Spiritual Arts Academy, especially in kendo. She heard that this kid had defeated the kendo teacher with his own hands in class.

Such talent should naturally be brought back to the 10th Division where she is! In the future, she can also share more of the team affairs with her. After all, she has to deal with a captain who always likes to slack off on weekdays.

"Teacher Nantian..." Xin mumbled, "Teacher Nantian is so annoying, always nagging non-stop..."

As he was speaking, the arm that was supporting his cheek loosened and he fell flat on the table.

"..."

Matsumoto Rangiku folded her arms in front of her and let out a soft sigh.

This is the nth time. Could it be that this kid already has a favorite team?

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she suddenly asked, "Did Vice Captain Shiba look for you? Did he ask you to go to Squad 13?"

There was no response, only the sound of even breathing, and it seemed that he was asleep.

Matsumoto Rangiku curled her lips, what a heartless guy!
She stood up to pay the bill, but before leaving, she couldn't contain her anger and kicked the other person lightly.

After lying on the table for a while, Xin slowly raised his head and rubbed his face, which was a little stiff from drinking.

"This woman can really drink!"

【Matsumoto Rangiku】

【Favourability: 63】

[For every 10 points of favorability increase, spiritual pressure level +1, Zanpakutō unlocking progress +1%]

[Reach 90 favorability to unlock the home run reward]

[You can sign the Death Wedge, which will unlock the third reward]

Xin looked at the system interface. The alcohol paralyzed him and made his thinking dull. He had a very average alcohol tolerance, but fortunately he didn't say anything unnecessary.

The favorability level has dropped two points compared to last time. I guess I annoyed her.

Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy building.

Hisagi Shuhei returned to the dormitory and discovered that his roommate, who had skipped classes that day, had returned and was now sprawled out on his bed.

"When did you come back?" he asked.

"About two hours ago."

"Why aren't you going to class when you're back so early?" Xiu Bing couldn't help but ask, and then kindly reminded, "Teacher Nan Tian is very angry today, you'd better be careful."

Xin pouted and said, "Teacher Nantian is still so petty. He just skipped class."

When he came back, his mind was still confused. Going to class was tantamount to seeking death. He took a nap in the dormitory before he felt better.

Hisagi Shuhei ignored his scoundrelly remarks and instead asked, "Did you go see Miss Matsumoto again today?"

Xin was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, his eyes a little distracted, as if he was thinking about something, and he casually said "hmm".

A beautiful image immediately flashed through Hisagi Shuhei's mind, and he asked again, "What did she want you to do?" "She invited me to join the Tenth Division, saying I could become a chief officer if I joined."

Hisagi Shūhei’s expression was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

"How many seats?"

"Twenty-three seats."

After being stunned, Xiubing's expression became somewhat complicated. He looked at the letter lying there and fell silent for a moment.

Xin saw that there was no sound, turned his head to look at him, and laughed: "What's wrong?"

Xiubing exhaled lightly, then shook his head. "It just so happens that the final exam is in a month. Teacher Minamida asked Kanizawa and me to compile a list for him to review and select."

Students at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy study for six years, and can graduate if they complete all courses within four years.

Of course, this is somewhat difficult, and only a few people can meet the standards. After graduation, these people can basically become the backbone of the Thirteenth Team, the Kidōshu, or the Secret Mobile Team.

However, it is not uncommon to graduate from the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy in four years.

“I didn’t plan on graduating this year.”

Xiu Bing was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "Didn't you say that you and Miss Matsumoto have already..."

"I didn't say I promised her."

Hisagi Shuhei suddenly lost control of his expression: "You refused?!"

Xin's expression remained normal, and he simply said, "I want to stay in school for two more years..."

"You...but Miss Matsumoto has already promised you the position of chief officer!" Xiubing's tone suddenly became much heavier.

"Only twenty-three seats, useless and ostentatious."

Xin Quan didn't care and looked out the window with a leisurely look.

There are many cherry trees planted next to the school building. The petals are falling, covering the winding path with pink. Boys and girls in white clothes are either stopping or hurrying, just like a painting.

"This school is so good, and being a student is so good, Xiubing, don't you like it?"

"..."

Xiubing was speechless. He could never figure out his friend's thoughts.

Although her face showed a relaxed expression, her long eyelashes drooped as if hiding more worries than anyone else.

He had to admit that Xin's face was quite good-looking, no wonder he was so popular in the class.

Xiubing sat down on his own bed, following Xin's gaze outside. After a long silence, he said, "It just so happens that I don't plan to graduate either."

Xin turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "Oh?"

Xiu Bing folded his arms in front of him and said calmly, "I just feel that my overall quality is not solid enough."

"Well, you are indeed quite weak."

"..."

The originally harmonious atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Xiubing almost couldn't catch his breath. Looking at Xin laughing heartily, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Hisagi Shuhei is usually a rather serious and dull person, but Nobu, who has been with him for a long time, knows that this kind of personality is actually a kind of introverted and reserved person.

When Matsumoto Rangiku came to see him for the first time, he happened to run into Hisagi Shuhei, and this guy began to glance at him uncontrollably. Later, Shin often used this to make fun of the other party, which always made Shuhei angry and embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xiubing couldn't beat him.

Shin's smile faded slightly as he looked towards Hisagi Shuhei.

"Xiubing, I plan to do something in the next two years. Come and help me!"
