I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"Because they will mock you, ridicule you, and subject you to endless mental torment."

"If you are confident that you can reach or surpass the three people in front of you, then you must learn to bear the doubts, attention, or expectations in their eyes."

"Master Erin, what kind of achievement does the captain of the Gotei 13 have?"

Upon hearing Erin's words, Toshiro didn't immediately answer how he would face those gazes. He just wanted to know just how high the achievements of his senior brothers and sisters were.

"Captain..."

"Um……"

"To put it simply, the Gotei 13 are the strongest armed forces in Seireitei, and they bear the responsibility of protecting Seireitei."

"At the same time, the Gotei 13 is also the first line of defense protecting Lord Rei-Oh."

"The thirteen squads each have their own responsibilities."

“Each division has at least a thousand Shinigami, and in some cases, there are tens of thousands.”

"And the strongest among these thirteen squads is the captain of each squad."

"It can be said that the captains of the Gotei 13 are the highest fighting force in the entire Seireitei."

"Wow……"

A glint of light flashed in Toshiro's small eyes.

There are other things that Toshiro doesn't quite understand yet.

However, he understood the meaning of the phrase "top combat power".

In other words, his three senior brothers and sisters have become one of the thirteen strongest people in Seireitei?

"Teacher, if you can train three team leaders, then are you a team leader?"

"Hahaha……"

"Toshiro, we've come a long way, and you've seen quite a few Grim Reapers. Tell me, what's the difference between them and your teacher?"

"difference?"

Reminded by Erin, Toshiro suddenly realized.

"I understand. All those Grim Reapers are dressed in black, except for the teacher, who is wearing a white coat over his black clothes."

"good."

"Within Seireitei, Shinigami (Death Gods) basically only wear these two types of clothing."

"The black one is called the Death Knight Armor."

"The white one is called the Captain's Haori."

"As the name suggests, the Captain's Haori is something that only the captain can wear."

Erin laughed, turned around, and showed Toshiro the numbers on the back of his haori.

"Toshiro, look at the number on the teacher's back."

"eleven."

Toshiro had seen this number long ago, but he didn't know what it represented.

"The number on the back of the captain's haori represents the captain's squad."

"The number behind your teacher represents that your teacher is the captain of the Eleventh Division."

Chapter 203 Rukia's Cry

While Erin and Toshiro were boasting about themselves, the two had already arrived at the door of the Kuchiki family's house.

"Haruko, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Haruko, Erin rushed forward: "Didn't I tell you last night that you didn't need to wait for us?"

"last night?"

Toshiro tilted his head, not understanding what he meant.

Wasn't Master Erin always with me?

What did he say to others last night?

"Go away, get out of here. I didn't come to see you."

Although her eyes were smiling, Haruko Kuchiki still pushed Erin away with one hand, then bent down and said to Toshiro with a smile, "You must be the Shiro that Erin was talking about?"

"Hello, Xiaobai, my name is Kuchiki Haruko, and I'm your master's wife."

"what?"

Toshiro scratched his head in confusion: "Master's wife, I am indeed a disciple of Master Erin, but my name is not Shiro, my name is Hitsugaya Toshiro."

"what?"

Hearing Toshiro's words, Haruko Kuchiki asked Erin in confusion, "Erin-kun, didn't you say your new disciple is named Shiro?"

Haruko Kuchiki did the same thing as Toshiro Hitsugaya.

He was also puzzled as to why the teacher would say his name wrong.

"This one……"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing their gazes, Erin chuckled dryly a few times.

When Erin is with Toshiro, she will naturally call him by his name.

But when chatting with Haruko, Erin would unconsciously drift into the rhythm of chatting with his online friends from his past life.

In Bleach, everyone gives their favorite characters a nickname that perfectly matches their personality and characteristics.

In Bleach, Byakuya Kuchiki is known as "Big White," while Toshiro Hitsugaya is known as "Little White."

"Haruko, look, isn't Toshiro's hair really nice?"

"Yes, her snow-white, tousled hair is just like snow."

"So, I thought that instead of introducing him by the name Toshiro, it would be better to use the nickname 'Shiro,' which better suits his personality, to make a more lasting impression on you."

Haruko rolled her eyes at Erin and then ignored him.

Instead, she smiled and said to Toshiro again, "I'm really sorry, Toshiro."

"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Haruko Kuchiki, and I am your teacher's wife."

"Hello, Master's wife. My name is Hitsugaya Toshiro. It's funny to meet you."

"Wow, that's so cute."

Toshiro's serious expression instantly made Haruko's girlish heart flutter, and she immediately picked him up and said, "Shiro is so cute! Come on, Shiro, your master's wife made you lots of delicious things."

"Master's wife, my name is Hitsugaya Toshiro!"

"Okay, Shiro, don't worry, I'll call you Toshiro..."

Watching Haruko pick up Toshiro and turn back, Erin opened his mouth, then smiled and followed.

"Hey, Haruko, wait for me..."

……

Haruko has been ecstatic these past few days because she has gained such an adorable junior. She's either taking Toshiro to the Women's Shinigami Association to show him off or taking him to various places in Seireitei to shop and have fun.

It was as if she wanted to pour all her love, which was destined to be childless, onto Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Erin was happy to support this.

After all, it was he who prevented Haruko from becoming a mother.

Now that Toshiro is here, it's somewhat enough to make up for Haruko's regret.

On this day, Erin came to the front yard of the Kuchiki family's house and did not find Rukia. After focusing her attention, she heard the sound of sobbing.

With a slight sigh, Erin walked towards the cherry blossom tree, then circled around to its base, where she saw Rukia crying with her knees drawn up to her chest.

Rukia looked up when she sensed a shadow looming over her and saw Erin.

Instantly, Rukia stood up, not even having time to wipe away her tears, and explained to Erin, "Teacher, I, I didn't slack off, I, I just..."

"Ok, I know."

Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Erin sighed and reached out to stroke her head.

"Rukia has always worked very hard, and I have no doubt about that."

"So, who exactly made Rukia suffer?"

"Look, she's all bruised and battered from crying."

“Tell the teacher, and the teacher will stand up for you.”

"No."

Rukia quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head, saying, "Teacher, I just feel that I have let you and Byakuya down."

"My teacher and Byakuya both value me so much, and Byakuya even takes time out of his day to practice swordsmanship with me."

"But I haven't made any progress at all..."

"Oh?"

Erin raised an eyebrow: "Lucia, you should know that your progress is largely related to your teacher's guidance."

"Don't take all the blame on yourself."

"While Byakuya is away, let your teacher come and see for himself what Byakuya has taught you, so that you will feel that you have not made any progress this year."

"This one……"

Rukia was somewhat looking forward to Erin's guidance, but she was also afraid that if her performance disappointed Erin-sensei, he would blame Byakuya-sama.

For a moment, Rukia was in a dilemma.

Seemingly noticing Rukia's predicament, Erin ruffled Rukia's hair.
