The only player in the world of Bleach.

Having a goal naturally gives you the ability to take action.

Yusuke Matsushita did not relax at all during the following period.

On the one hand, in order to increase opportunities to contact Aizen Sousuke, he focused on practicing calligraphy.

On the other hand, it is to improve one's own strength.

In terms of curriculum, the Shinigami Academy is basically equivalent to a university-level teaching system.

Apart from the basic content that everyone must study, the remaining parts are mostly chosen in an elective manner.

Of course, this does not mean 'freedom'.

In fact, quite the opposite.

The teaching system of the Spiritual Arts Academy is designed to allow students to plan their future direction upon enrollment.

If one aspires to join the Gotei 13, then knowledge of swordsmanship is of paramount importance. Secondly, knowledge of hand-to-hand combat is also an essential part that cannot be overlooked.

Correspondingly, if one aspires to become a member of the Kido sect or a similar profession, then the skills one needs to hone are naturally "Kido" and "Shunpo".

As mentioned before.

The four essential skills of slaying, punching, and demon-slaying, which are required training for Grim Reapers, actually have different focuses in essence.

The saying "Don't bite off more than you can chew" is quite applicable to the current situation.

However, for Yusuke Matsushita, the situation was not so simple.

"So, the basic techniques of Kido mainly focus on the application of spiritual energy. Extracting it, condensing it, and finally..."

Sitting in the classroom, listening to the teacher's lecture, Matsushita Yusuke glanced at the contents of the task bar when he had a spare moment.

[Learning the basics of the Ghost Path]

[Introduction: Although it's simple, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even the most basic content... requires painstaking effort to cultivate into a towering tree.]

[Reward: Basic Knowledge of Ghostly Path +1]

There were more than a dozen similar tasks in Yusuke Matsushita's browsing list.

Thanks to the way the task is presented, the participants often don't need to focus their attention on the classroom.

—Because task settlement is based on the result.

Just like at university, once you register, you're attending classes... Whether you listen or not doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the professor's income anyway!

For this reason, Yusuke Matsushita signed up for almost all the "advanced courses".

From professional courses focused on practical application to theoretical courses like this one, Matsushita Yusuke didn't overlook any of them... He accepted them all!

Anyway, he was an orphan in Seireitei, with no family, so he naturally didn't have any entertainment options.

The Spirit Arts Academy provides all-inclusive room and board. If we don't take this opportunity to improve ourselves, will we be used as a speed bump to be run over when the Invisible Empire invades?

Learning is the key!

However, just as we have seen before.

For courses with limited content, the rewards for these "side quests" are relatively simple.

It is clearly marked as the theoretical basis of the Ghost Path.

However, the contents of the package didn't quite match what was advertised...

"It can't even be directly converted into the foundational points of the Demon Path; rather, it's more like a life skill similar to calligraphy techniques?"

This clearly demonstrates just how superficial this course is.

It's like some college teachers who are just coasting along, using PowerPoint presentations from over twenty years ago to teach people how to find jobs...

Abstract...very abstract!

As the class ended and Matsushita Yusuke bent down to pack up his supplies, he heard the expected notification sound.

[Task completion in progress... Claim your reward]

[Basic knowledge of the Demonic Path +1... Your basic knowledge of the Demonic Path has been fully accumulated, and you have now advanced to the skill level 'Basic Master']

[Basic Master (For Kido spells numbered 10 and below, the casting time can be reduced, allowing for rapid release without affecting power)]

Fortunately, Yusuke Matsushita's panel can integrate this related content.

The key to reaping the rewards at this moment lies in this 'comprehensive' approach.

Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but recall another main quest.

Joining Aizen Sousuke's party allows one to directly acquire relevant "skills," which speaks volumes about the importance of this part of the story.

For now, the person involved can only watch with envy. After all, without a proper reason, rashly getting into close contact with Aizen Sousuke might lead to some trouble...

Be careful!

Thinking of this, Matsushita Yusuke slightly came back to his senses and let out a soft breath.

In short, starting with simple, small tasks... this approach itself is sound.

Little by little, it adds up.

However, Matsushita Yusuke didn't have a very good impression of these simple, single-numbered Kido.

I recall a scene in the original work where Kyoraku Shunsui used a small, broken dagger to overpower Chad. But that was simply due to a difference in strength…

After all, it would be unreasonable not to beat a captain who had just bullied a kid who wasn't even proficient in the new technique!

But it would be a waste not to try out the 'skills' you've finally acquired.

He pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand and, following the instructions in the lesson, tried to gather his spiritual energy at his fingertips.

One of the Breaking Techniques: Rush!

As the number one basic Kido, its effect is simple and straightforward.

By restraining and controlling spiritual energy with his fingertips, he could unleash a shockwave that resembled lightning.

Okay, I'm going!

The light that was dancing on Matsushita Yusuke's fingertips instantly expanded, revealing a flash of light like a thunderbolt, and passed through the air, grazing the lower back of a girl in front of him.

"ah!"

"What's wrong, Keiko?"

"No, nothing... it's just that I suddenly felt like someone touched my butt... Ah, I'm so embarrassed, don't say anymore!"

Yusuke Matsushita, feeling ashamed, quickly left.

I almost became a hooligan...

Regardless, this first attempt certainly gave him a lot of confidence.

By omitting the chanting, the convenience of this technique has been greatly improved.

While it may not be effective against strong opponents, it should be able to gain a significant advantage against fellow newcomers.

Great, that's the momentum!

Time flies, and another week has passed quickly.

However, this time, Matsushita Yusuke did not meet Aizen Sousuke as expected.

Standing on the podium now was a rather unexpected figure...

"Uh, everyone, although this might be a bit of a surprise, I have to explain first."

A man with long blond hair and a melancholy air stood on the podium.

He was slender, and although he was wearing a Shinigami uniform, the haori covering him further confirmed his identity.

He is a captain-level figure in the Gotei 13.
