Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Aizen hesitated for a few seconds, then pretended to be grateful and nervous that he had been saved by Araki, and bowed deeply to Araki and Genryusai's departing figures.

"Araki, what's wrong?"

Is there something wrong with that kid?

Ahead, Genryuzhai walked slowly forward and asked Araki, who had arrived late behind him.

Araki's actions might fool others, but they could never fool Genryusai. Genryusai knew perfectly well that Aizen's fall, including Araki's rescue of Aizen, was all staged by Araki himself...

"There's nothing wrong with him, I just find him quite interesting."

"Teacher Yuan Liuzhai could really give that brat a good nurturing; I think he's quite talented!"

Araki chuckled as he spoke after hearing Genryusai's words.

Araki never expected to run into Aizen when he was still in school, so he subtly teased Aizen using Aizen's own methods of winning people over...

"..."

Aizen, who had been tricked by Araki, frowned and stared thoughtfully at Araki's retreating figure.

"How strange..." Aizen murmured to himself, watching Araki's retreating figure. "Just now, how could I have had this strange feeling deep inside that everything about me is living in his shadow?!"

If Araki were to hear Aizen's words at this moment, he would surely smile and say to Aizen, "Little Aizen, when did you begin to have the illusion that you don't live in my shadow?! This is just the beginning of your life shrouded in my shadow!"

"Is he very talented? I'll remember him..."

As for Genryusai, who was still steadily moving forward, he was in a good mood after hearing Araki's words. He had just officially taken over the 'Shinigami Academy' and had already encountered a promising talent that Araki valued. All of this seemed to be telling him that his decision was correct, and that the future of the 'Seireitei' would surely be one of flourishing prosperity!

"Ha ha……"

Araki chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

In fact, there was another half-sentence that Araki didn't say: Aizen, though exceptionally talented, was inherently rebellious.

Dedicated to kicking the 'Spirit King' out of the 'Spirit King Palace'...

Then he stood in the sky and became a true 'god'!

Next, Araki and Genryusai, led by Suzakube, visited the teaching building, dining hall, Kido training ground, sword dojo, and taijutsu dojo of the Shinigami Academy! Seeing that the time was almost up, Araki and Genryusai went to the meeting hall of the Academy to begin their speeches.

"Please welcome the 'Founder of the Gotei 13,' former Captain-Commander of the 'Gotei 13,' and the founder of the 'Shinigami Academy'! The current Dean of the 'Shinigami Academy'—Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni! To deliver a speech to all the students!"

First, Chojiro Sasaki read out a long list of Genryusai's titles to open the show for him.

"Then let me just say a few words here!"

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Liuzhai took over the position of Quebu and stood in front of the students, giving a very official speech.

"My dear students of the Shinigami Academy, I am Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the founder of the Academy, and the future chief kendo instructor and dean of the Academy for all of you!"

"From this day forward, I will dedicate all my knowledge and skills to you, passing them on through my own hands. I hope you will work hard and strive to catch up with the outstanding graduates of the Spirit Arts Academy as soon as possible, to serve in the 'Gotei 13,' and even become the captain of the '13'..."

Once Yuan Liuzhai stood on the podium, he seemed to become a completely different person, speaking eloquently and incessantly.

Perhaps it was because Yuan Liuzhai's speaking skills were truly excellent, because the students below frequently echoed his words.

Only Araki, upon hearing Genryusai's words, immediately fell asleep.

In Araki's ears, all Genryusai was saying was: "Aba aba aba..."

"Now, please welcome Araki, the esteemed disciple of Genryusai, the first man to be granted the title of 'Genryu' (a style of martial arts) without reservation, and also the current Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, to deliver a wonderful speech..."

Just as Araki was about to fall asleep, the voice of the sagabe suddenly came from the podium.

"Do I need to say anything more?!"

Araki was stunned. This scene wasn't in the script!

"Ha ha……"

Just as Araki was puzzled, he saw Genryusai smiling without saying a word.

"That old rascal is wicked!"

Araki immediately understood the situation. With a slight smile, he walked straight to the podium.

"Everyone, I am Araki, the current Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13! I'm also your senior..."

Araki smiled as he looked at the students below the stage, softly introducing himself. However, when he mentioned that he was everyone's senior, Araki's voice suddenly stopped...

"Um?!"

This surprised all the students present.

"Is this the end?!"

The students looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Araki and Genryusai's speeches were like two extremes. One was ridiculously long, almost starting from the establishment of the Gotei 13, telling the audience a long history. The other was ridiculously simple, seemingly finishing his speech in just two sentences.

"...and I also hope you will remember the moment you felt powerless today!"

Just as the students were puzzled, Quebu sighed in exasperation, and Genryusai gave Araki a thumbs-up, the gentle Araki on the stands suddenly changed his tone, his voice instantly becoming sharp.

"boom!"

The next second, immense spiritual pressure descended from the sky, landing on the backs of everyone present.

"This is……"

In an instant, the expressions of all the students present changed drastically. Every student went from smiling to terrified. The spiritual pressure released by Araki was so cold that it seemed to freeze everyone's bones...

Everyone forgot where they were, and all that remained in their hearts was endless fear.

The immense pressure only eased off everyone's shoulders after everyone present was drenched in sweat.

"Forehead……"

As the pressure suddenly dissipated, the students of the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"I'm going to die! This is terrifying!"

"Is this the strength of the Gotei 15 Captain-Commander, the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society?"

"They're on a completely different level from us students of the Spirit Arts Academy!"

"Just one look from them and we felt like we were going to die..."

The students lay on the ground, panting and muttering to themselves.

I wish each and every one of you success in your studies!

Just as the students collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again...

Araki finished his speech to the group of students from the 'Spirit Arts Academy' in front of him.

"Clap clap clap..."

The next second, applause as loud as the sea resounded throughout the entire venue.

Araki's immense strength did not frighten the students present; instead, it gave them the confidence to keep striving. A powerful Captain-Commander is the foundation of a powerful 'Gotei 13'!

"Ha ha……"

"Araki's not bad at all~"

Genryusai witnessed everything Araki did and gave Araki's speech high praise.

"Finally, let me offer my congratulations to all of you students! Let us look back a thousand years..."

At this moment, after Araki's speech ended, Sasakibe stepped forward to wrap up Genryusai's inauguration ceremony.

As soon as Quebu began to speak, a strong flavor of Yuanliuzhai filled the hall, indicating that Quebu's lecture would likely last for more than an hour.

"boom!!"

Just as the Sparrowbeard opened his mouth, accompanied by a loud bang, the door to the venue was cleaved open with a single slash. At the same time, a disheveled young man, carrying his Zanpakuto, swaggered in through the door he had cleaved open.

"what happened?!"

"An enemy attack? Someone dares to attack the Spirit Arts Academy? Are they crazy?"

As for the students, they were also in a panic. They never expected that there would be anyone in the world who would be so bold as to go directly to the 'Spiritual Arts Academy' to cause trouble.

"Is this the True Central Academy of Spiritual Arts?"

Before anyone could think further, the young man, dressed in a black shihaka outfit with a white haori over it and with disheveled hair, spoke to everyone present.

"Exactly..."

Upon seeing the newcomer's attire, some people were initially taken aback, but then mustered their courage and nodded slightly.

"Then that's it..."

"I heard that any squad that's short of members can come here to look, right?!"

"In that case, anyone who can block one of my swords, report to the 11th Division!"

The disheveled youth laughed wildly at everyone present.

"Hey? But what about the studies we haven't finished?"

At this moment, a student looked at the young man in front of him and asked him in confusion.

"Anyone who can block one of my sword strikes doesn't need to continue studying here!"

"You all go all out and try to block my attacks! The first person to block two of my swords will be made the vice-captain!"

As the young man finished speaking, he raised the knife in his hand.

"What? The vice-captain!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, everyone present seemed to be injected with adrenaline. If they could become vice captains right after graduation, it would be like rising to the top in one step.

"boom!!"

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a free lunch. As the young man forcefully swung the knife he had raised above his head, hundreds of students who were close to him were sent flying into the air by the slash.

"Eh?!"

It wasn't until the students were flying in the sky that they realized that blocking a casual slash from the man in front of them was much more difficult than going to another squad and becoming a vice-captain.
