Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 3 The Inclusive Flower Sister

Although both Hana and Rangiku are magnanimous, and Rangiku is even more magnanimous than Hana, the key point is that Hana is strong enough. As the former strongest Kenpachi, she not only has enough healing power, but also can control the situation.

Among the many Shinigami in Soul Society, Hana's strength is definitely among the top, and there are very few who can defeat her.

The Fourth Division doesn't require high combat power from its members, but there is one thing they absolutely must possess: a high level of mastery of Kido (Kido).

Kido is divided into "Hado" for attacking enemies, "Bakudo" for restricting and binding targets, and "Kaido" for healing injuries.

Compared to the "Hado" and "Bakudo" that most Shinigami use, there are not many Shinigami who have mastered the "Kaido". This is partly because the Kaido is quite uncommon in the Kido system, and partly because the Kaido has very few numbers in the Kido.

In order to join the Fourth Division, which she had always dreamed of, Yoru had specially trained in the Dao of Return while she was at the Shinigami Academy, so she was quite confident about her joining the team.

"Nanno Makoto, a sixth-year student of the Shinigami Academy, has above-average grades in the academy. His slashing skills are above average, his hand-to-hand combat skills are below average, his Shunpo skills are below average, and his Kido skills are above average."

"With your Kido skills, you certainly meet the recruitment standards for our Fourth Division. Are you sure you want to join our Fourth Division?"

The person in charge of recruiting members for the Fourth Division this time was a tall woman with a slender figure, large breasts, short silver-gray hair, and extremely delicate features.

The reason for emphasizing her height is that the fourth squad member named Kotetsu Isane in front of Yoru is 187cm tall, which is enough to exert a sense of pressure even for most men.

Of course, Ye Cheng was quite outstanding in both looks and height throughout his life, so while he couldn't look down on Yong Yin's cleavage, he wasn't overwhelmed by her height either.

Isane is not yet the vice-captain of the Fourth Division, and should even be a newcomer who has only recently joined the Fourth Division, which is why she was assigned here to recruit new members.

In other squad recruitment offices, there were several members in charge of recruitment, but in the Fourth Squad, there was only Isane all alone. It was clear that the young lady was either isolated or being targeted by the other members of the squad.

It's nothing new for seasoned veterans to make things difficult for newbies, especially for someone like Yongyin, who has just graduated and seems rather timid.

"That's right, I want to join the Fourth Division and become an excellent member of the healing division. What kind of assessments or tests are required?"

Seeing the determined expression on Ye Cheng's face and his affirmative tone, Yong Yin was also quite happy.

Just as Ye Cheng had expected, Captain Unohana had assigned her to work alongside two other team members during the recruitment of new members at the Shinigami Academy.

However, the two members of the Fourth Division who came with her used the excuse that Isane had just graduated from here and was more familiar with the environment of the Shinigami Academy to push all the work onto Isane.

Every year, the various divisions come to the Shinigami Academy to recruit graduates, but the number of members willing to join the Fourth Division is really not large.

Compared to the 11th Division, which is a combat division, the 4th Division, a healing division, is safer, but is more likely to be ridiculed.

After all, they became Shinigami to fight Hollows. Hiding among women every day as a support staff would be quite embarrassing if their friends and family found out.

These are all recent graduates from the Shinigami Academy, so it's normal for them to be arrogant. These newbies, yet to be tested by reality, always believe that with their talent, they'll soon shine in Soul Society, become squad captains, earn high salaries, and be surrounded by secret confidantes. The Fourth Squad has far more female than male members, and male Shinigami who choose to join this squad are generally ridiculed by their colleagues.

Therefore, those ambitious graduates usually choose the Eleventh Division, which is an easier place to get ahead. Even those who consider safety usually join the Third Division, Fifth Division, or other "retirement" divisions.

Furthermore, although the Fourth Division is a healing division, it is not without casualties; battlefield medics are a very dangerous profession.

Although always protected at the back of the team, he is still vulnerable to being ambushed when he is focused on healing others.

The Fourth Division has seen fewer and fewer new recruits in recent years, leading to a shortage of personnel. Captain Unohana had previously emphasized to them that they should recruit at least a few new members this year.

"There's no need for any assessments for now. As long as your Kido level and spiritual pressure meet the requirements, that's fine."

After all, mastering the 'Return Path' is no easy feat; even many of the team's seniors don't yet know how to use it.

"Return Path" is a type of ghost path used for healing. The principle is to first restore the target's internal spiritual pressure, and then combine this with the external spiritual pressure applied by the caster to achieve the effect of healing injuries and restoring spiritual pressure.

Although it is a type of Kido, mastering "Return Path" is not a simple matter; it requires extremely perfect control over spiritual pressure.

Yuu-on wasn't sure if other squads required assessments for recruiting members, but it was already quite good that someone from their Fourth Squad was willing to join, so there was really no reason to be picky at the moment.

Besides, she had just looked at Ye Cheng's various stats. Although he wasn't exactly an outstanding student, he was more than qualified to be a member of the Fourth Division.

Although several junior girls had wanted to join their Fourth Division before, after remembering the captain's previous instructions and lowering her standards accordingly, Isane ultimately rejected those junior girls.

The reason is simple: although those junior girls have good stats, their spiritual pressure and Kido level are not up to standard, which is the most important standard for their Fourth Division.

As a member of the Fourth Division, you may not be able to wield a sword, but your Kido level must be good enough to master "Return Path". Your spiritual pressure level must also be adequate, otherwise you will be exhausted before the person being healed recovers. How can you be a qualified support staff member?

"Isane, how's the recruitment going? Will we be able to fill any vacancies in the squads this year?"

Just as Yoru took the form from Yuune and was about to fill in the information to officially join the Fourth Division, a gentle voice suddenly rang out outside the recruitment office where they were. Then, a slender hand lifted the curtain and appeared in front of Yoru and Yuune.

The newcomer was a beautiful woman with a gentle and peaceful demeanor, long black hair parted in the middle, and wearing a white captain's haori with a gray-cherry blossom-colored inner lining.

In terms of temperament alone, the other party was clearly elegant and noble like a Yamato Nadeshiko, but the moment Ye Cheng saw her, every pore on his body involuntarily trembled.

Even the instant the other party appeared in front of him, Yoruichi unknowingly grabbed the hilt of the Zanpakuto at his waist.
