The only player in the world of Bleach.

I saw what I expected.

But as it turns out, Matsushita Yusuke seems to have underestimated Aizen Sousuke.

—All five elements +1! Holy crap, this isn't just about whether it's a mine or not... Aizen is practically a godsend!

Whenever Yusuke Matsushita felt that his progress had hit a wall called a "step," the other person would appear to help him break through this cognitive barrier.

What does it mean to work out diligently?

Even slacking off can make you stronger! All five major systems +1, maxed out!

Matsushita Yusuke's attention was inevitably diverted by the task prompts, and he grinned happily, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Aizen Sousuke glanced at the reaction, but wasn't particularly surprised...

After all, the other party's strong thirst for knowledge had somewhat influenced him.

Perhaps Yusuke Matsushita is somewhat similar to his past self, also a unique soul who feels lonely at the top?

Thinking of this, Aizen Sousuke's feelings also surfaced... Although he wanted to say more, he chose to stop there.

"Let's leave the explanation of 'Sword Zen' here for now. Although there's still room to expand on the topic of Zanpakuto... well, 'don't bite off more than you can chew.' For Matsushita-kun at the moment, it's enough to just thoroughly understand this."

The process was surprisingly simple.

The person involved never expected that this so-called guidance would really be just a single sentence...

However, after hearing Aizen Sousuke's explanation, he quickly showed a relieved expression.

Thinking about it, that makes perfect sense.

After all, Matsushita Yusuke was a novice when it came to Zanpakuto, and he couldn't possibly digest too much information if he were taught too much at once.

Besides, I still have a mission to complete!

Whether I understand it or not doesn't matter, I'll take the reward first.

After understanding these key points, Matsushita Yusuke smiled broadly, as happy as if he had tasted honey poop.

"I understand, that'll do it this way for now... Aizen-sensei, I'll go back and give it a try, and report back to you when I make progress!"

Matsushita Yusuke turned and left excitedly. Aizen Sousuke watched his retreating figure, and although he wanted to say, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me," he hesitated for a moment and then remained silent.

Fine, let him arrange it himself.

After all, in this dull and silent Soul Society, aside from his own research...

Perhaps only this man could bring Aizen some "unexpected joy".

Although the person involved may be unwilling to admit it, or may think it's an exaggeration, in reality... Aizen Sousuke is indeed starting to look forward to it at this moment.

A week later, when I met Yusuke Matsushita again.

What new tricks will this guy show me this time?

...Something to look forward to!

Meanwhile, Yusuke Matsushita jogged out of the teachers' office, and as he flipped through the tasks and panels, his smile was impossible to hide.

After all, I'm genuinely happy right now.

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

After a long list of announcements, Yusuke Matsushita took a moment to stand in the corridor and check his control panel.

【Panasonic Yusuke】

[Spiritual Pressure Level: 3] (Current maximum is 15)

【斩：14】【拳：11】【走：7】【鬼：19】（总值100）

This is about the basic attributes of the parties involved.

Compared to before, the spiritual pressure level has increased from '4' to '3'. On the surface, this seems to be a reverse increase, but that is not the case.

Once the spiritual pressure level reaches its maximum, it is reset to zero in the data. In this way, the overall upper limit of spiritual pressure is raised to another level...

This growth pattern struck the parties involved as somewhat strange.

From a game perspective, this less intuitive display method is somewhat counterintuitive.

However, if understood from the perspective of the Grim Reaper, Yusuke Matsushita more or less grasped the meaning behind it.

It's important to know that in the Shinigami (Bleach) universe, the levels of spiritual pressure are clearly defined...

The measurement method called "spiritual power" also applies to the vast majority of Shinigami (death gods).

The fact that the Grim Reaper can be divided into such distinct classes, from the first to the twentieth, demonstrates that... there is also a very strict hierarchical system within the Grim Reaper organization.

Generally speaking, vice-captains are at the fourth or fifth level of spiritual power, while those at the third level or above can basically be classified as captain-level strength.

Therefore, according to the setting, only those at level three or above are considered "experts" among the Grim Reapers.

however.

Even among top players, there are differences.

Just like in the original work, both being captain-level fighters, the dog, who had already reached Bankai, was instantly killed by Aizen's Black Coffin...

This shows that once the gap between spiritual power levels widens, the two sides are no longer on the same level.

As for how to further subdivide after reaching the first level of spiritual power?

That involves comparative debate... and we also have to consider the parties' temperament, state of mind, and other practical factors.

For example, including concepts like the god-like "deaf Ichigo" or "cruel Yamamoto" basically renders the discussion pointless.

Also.

Yusuke Matsushita believes that this spirit power setting, when placed within the storyline, essentially falls into the category of later, abandoned content…

After all, when the plot expands to Hueco Mundo and the Wandenreich, comparing others using the standards of the Shinigami is inherently quite abstract.

Therefore, we can only use another method to compare the combat strength of both sides, which is to first set up a relatively standard 'target'.

A simple example is Toshiro Hitsugaya, like Byakuya before he went to the Soul King's Palace...

The two young people are inexperienced but have a certain air about them, and their abilities are not bad.

It's about hitting the line between a noob and a pro.

Those more powerful than them can be brought out to participate in beast fighting, while those weaker than them are basically not even worthy of being mentioned...

Ahem... Let's get back to the main topic.

Let's return to the issue of spiritual pressure.

Yusuke Matsushita's panel is not applicable to the traditional Shinigami's measurement scale. In his opinion, this should be because subsequent version updates were taken into account, and a 'measurement method' recognized by all three realms was directly used.

We divide it directly by spiritual pressure limit! Efficient and simple!

Although there were some improvements in the subsequent four categories, it was clear that, apart from the Ghost Path, the progress in the others was slow.

The situation is roughly as the person involved described before... Due to the shortage of resources within the Spiritual Arts Academy, they don't usually find any treasures when 'mining'.

Aizen's resources are relatively stable.

His demonic arts skills just kept improving... There was nothing he could do about it!
