The only player in the world of Bleach.

The students participating in this operation were roughly divided into two teams and given different tasks.

Although it may sound a bit rough around the edges and seem to lack room for deep thinking, this is precisely the fundamental concept behind team action.

When assigning tasks to a large group, it is essential to adhere to a consistent set of rules and regulations.

—The content must be simple and easy to understand.

This is a crucial step in implementing the core principles, and Xi Zhijin has done a great job in this regard; everyone can clearly understand what he has explained.

then……

"You will then split into smaller teams. I have the complete list. Everyone whose name is called, come and assemble!"

Reconnaissance, assessment, and support.

Tasks like these were broken down and assigned in a more detailed manner, and Yusuke Matsushita was assigned to the support team.

Xi Zhijin took three minutes to give a detailed explanation to their eight-person team. After describing the main tasks and content, he quickly moved on to the next group…

It's no exaggeration to say that...

The second division vice-captain performed far more professionally than expected.

Is it fair to say that great reputations are not undeserved?

The fact that the Ōmaeda family has been able to survive for a thousand years without having their "private land" taken away by other nobles shows that they are far more professional than depicted in the original story!

Reflecting on this, Matsushita Yusuke also began to take action.

Because hope Zhijin had already informed everyone beforehand, the atmosphere among the group was not tense at all.

"This time they say there are only two vassals causing trouble..."

"They're all probably the weaker types, right? We have almost a hundred people scattered around, so we can't possibly lose!"

"That nasty guy might have already been taken care of before we even found him."

Having an optimistic mindset is not a problem.

But Yusuke Matsushita always felt that things might not be that simple.

after all……

That's what it's described in the mission description!

"You want me to perform well? In this situation... there shouldn't be much room for me to perform, right?"

at the same time.

Having completed all the preparations, Nozomi returned to the assembly point, breathed a sigh of relief, and plopped down on the roof beam next to Yoruichi.

"Lord Yoruichi, I've already given all the instructions."

"Oh, you've worked hard, Nozomi!"

"If you're willing to be understanding, please personally assign the task next time... It's not common for our Second Division to have the vice-captain do the work."

"Haha, hope Zhijin is as humorous as ever! Don't make jokes like that next time, I don't like them!"

"Regarding my wish to retire..."

"That won't do either! Aren't you quite capable? Are you already thinking about training a successor? That's a bit too early. Let's wait a few decades!"

Although Death is a spirit, it can greatly extend its own lifespan.

But this doesn't mean that everyone can live forever.

In fact, spirits also go through a process similar to birth, aging, sickness and death.

However, compared to the short lifespan of humans, the lifespan of the Grim Reaper... or rather, the lifespan of a spirit is several times longer than that of an ordinary person.

Although hope Zhijin is indeed in his prime, he can feel his limits.

His physical abilities have begun to decline.

Originally, while he was still able to work, he wanted to abdicate and hand over power to his descendants, while also being able to supervise from the sidelines.

It now seems that his wishful thinking has backfired.

"Xi Zhijin, don't underestimate yourself. I can sense that you still have the potential to develop your talent... Help me for a few more years, okay?"

What else is there to say?

You are a noble lord, you have the final say!

It must be because of their long-standing relationship as master and deputy that hope Zhijin knows what kind of temper his superior is, so he can still occasionally make some jokes.

"As you wish..."

While chatting, the organized group ran along the street edge, shouting and yelling as if they were on a pleasant picnic.

This made hope Zhijin sigh.

Young people these days...

While I don't expect them to have any sense of responsibility, they should at least maintain some level of tension when carrying out a mission.

The same mentality that middle-aged people often have of looking down on young people seems understandable when applied to the Grim Reapers...

"Kiji, which of these people do you think could be recruited into our Second Division?"

A very abrupt question.

But we definitely can't pretend we didn't hear it...

After all, this was their own boss, and Nozomi showed enough respect to Yoruichi Shihouin.

He nodded slightly, and after a brief moment of thought, spoke softly.

"I think... probably not."

This is not arrogance, but a statement of facts.

"Our Second Division prioritizes efficiency. Even if our skills are mediocre, we must still demonstrate the proper attitude."

Correspondingly.

"These young people lack professionalism... Although I don't want to be rude, their current attitude and style of doing things are not in line with our ideals."

If anyone were to hear this, they would probably break out in a cold sweat.

As a powerful figure in the Second Division, Shinichi's words carried considerable weight.

If someone volunteers for the Second Division, then they'll probably never have a chance to join that division again...

however.

Yoruichi Shihouin, however, did not seem to think so.

She chuckled, revealing her sharp canine teeth, and her expression became somewhat mocking.

"You're really demanding~"

"Lord Koreya, you're not involved enough... Of course, you're still the captain of the Second Division, so I'm just offering suggestions in this regard."

They can distinguish between primary and secondary tasks and understand their own role.

hope Zhijin's demonstrated qualities and professional competence are the reasons why he is qualified for this position.

"Really? Well, in my opinion... this mission should be quite interesting."

"...?"

hope Zhijin raised his head, somewhat bewildered.

What's interesting about it?

They're just two Hollows that have just deteriorated. Even if they're a bit difficult for newcomers, this is a challenge for nearly a hundred people...

There were enough people to overwhelm those two unlucky guys.

So in what ways can this so-called fun be manifested?

However, Nozomi also understood his boss's temperament... Yoruichi Shihouin never spoke without reason.

What is she foreshadowing?

Think, be silent, until you suddenly realize.

"You mean...?"

"Oh, that's a quick reaction, Heiji Jin."

She crossed her arms over her chest, a playful glint in her smile.

"This mission is not two degraded Hollows, but an enhanced Hollow that has already devoured more than twenty people, and a special individual that has shown a strong appetite."

In other words.

"Even if a lesser-ranking official were to take the field, they might still lose their life on the spot."
