The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"You're the one who wants to sign up?" The Grim Reaper named Daisuke looked at Ishihara Sho with some surprise and asked to confirm.

“Yes, Lord Death,” Ishihara Akira confirmed.

“That’s quite unusual. I never expected to actually run into a student from Rukongai in my class. Come here then.” Daisuke said, moving a crystal ball with a base from the table over to me.

"Place your hands on it, then concentrate and imagine a force flowing out of your arm."

"Oh." Ishihara Sho said "Oh," stood in front of the table, reached out and pressed the crystal ball on it, frowned, and pretended to concentrate. He gritted his teeth and poured his spiritual power into the crystal ball.

Of course, not all of them, but only a part...

After all, he had a solid foundation, and with the knowledge he gained along the way, even if he didn't directly reach the so-called captain or vice-captain level, he should still have some kind of position like a board member. In any case, he was definitely no worse than an ordinary official Grim Reaper member, so he didn't dare to fully expose himself and attract the attention of those old schemers.

At the same time, as Ishihara Sho's spiritual power was injected, the crystal ball he was pressing suddenly lit up, just like a light bulb that had been turned on.

"Good potential, a natural-born Grim Reaper. Take your hand away." Daisuke looked at the brightness of the crystal ball and said with satisfaction.

Ishihara Sho obediently removed his hand.

"Name." Then, Daisuke Shinigami took out Paper Fun Pavilion from the drawer of the table and asked.

"Ishihara Camphor Tree".

Which neighborhood are you from?

"?"

"It's about where it first appeared when it first descended," Daisuke explained, seeing Ishihara's slight confusion.

"Oh, West District 64."

“Gun noodles…” Daisuke nodded and noted down his information.

Do you have any relatives?

"No."

If they have the means, they can probably apply to move them to Zone 1.

Daisuke nodded, then carefully observed Ishihara Kaname, and just as officials in ancient times would issue household registers, he wrote down Ishihara Kaname's physical characteristics on the registration form—

For example, "面容青俊" means young and good-looking.

It means having a tall and upright figure, but not being physically strong.

face……

Although these materials will be useless after enrollment, they are still very necessary as a foundation for information.

After all, no one can guarantee that the Seireitei won't encounter some disaster that might cause the Shinigami certification data to be missing, right?

These things will then be used to confirm whether the Grim Reaper in the team is the original Grim Reaper.

"Alright, come with me." Daisuke said, standing up after finishing registering the information.

"Sidanfang, I'm taking this boy away for a bit. Please keep an eye on things here for me."

"Mm." Si Danfang nodded.

Anyway, it's not far from the White Path Gate, only a hundred meters away. With his size, he can get there in three to five steps even without using Instant Step, so there's no need to worry about any problems arising if he's not guarding the gate.

Besides, Seireitei is no ordinary place. Over the years—more than a hundred years—no one has ever dared to force their way into Seireitei…

Clearly, he hadn't been proven wrong by Ichigo Kurosaki yet; otherwise, he would never have been confident enough to say such a thing at this moment.

Daisuke then left the table and chairs, and led Ishihara Sho towards the Shinigami Academy, which was located further inside the Seireitei.

It wasn't far, and even though the two walked slowly, they arrived at their destination in about ten minutes.

Then, a large building that looked like some kind of palace-style building came into Ishihara Yuki's view.

Like the walls of the Seireitei, the walls were constructed of killing stone and were incredibly tall, exceeding the height of an average person. This meant that those standing outside could not see inside at all. In the center was the main gate, a double-leaf design similar to those of ancient palaces. Upon entering, one found oneself in a vast plaza comparable in size to a football field. Beyond that was the massive main building itself, seven or eight stories high, though judging from the window arrangement, it appeared to be only three stories tall.

This is the teaching building of the so-called True Spiritual Arts Academy.

Afterwards, Daisuke led Ishihara Akira into the teaching building, and after a few turns, they arrived at an office full of Zen atmosphere. There, they met the leader who still looked middle-aged, but who knew how many years he had lived. Daisuke then told him about Ishihara Akira.

"He's from Rukongai... Not bad, let's put him in Class C of the first year for now, and then assign him to a new class based on his academic performance and progress," the leader said after a moment's thought.

Just like the name of the class, Class C corresponds to the third type of students, or the so-called poor students!

It wasn't like the first, second, or third class I had imagined.

After all, the number of students at the Shinigami Academy is limited. Even though a large number of nobles and descendants of ordinary Shinigami enroll every year, the number has never exceeded one hundred, and it is rare for it to exceed fifty. In addition, with the Shinigami training content, basically one class can encompass all the students!

But we can't actually do that, since elites and mediocre people can't learn in the same class.

The learning speed and progress are not matched.

Therefore, it naturally led to distinctions such as elite classes, general classes, and mediocre classes.

However, it doesn't mean that if you go to the mediocre class, you'll never have a chance to turn things around. If you're good enough, you can still break free and become a student in the elite class, or even surpass everyone else, skip a grade, or even graduate early.

Just like Gin Ichimaru in the original work, he is a famous graduate who skipped grades at the Shinigami Academy and one of the true geniuses!

Afterwards, the leader gave some simple instructions, and Daisuke took Ishihara Akira away from the leader's office and went directly to Class C, handing him over to the Class C instructor, a middle-aged Shinigami named Oikawa Koichi.

With that, Daisuke's mission ended. He left the Shinigami Academy and returned to the White Path Gate to continue his tedious registration work.

"Go find a quiet place to sit down first. I'll arrange the accommodation and Zanpakuto for you after my class," Old Kawa said to Ishihara Sho.

"Okay, teacher."

Then, Ishihara Akira entered the classroom, which had only four or five students, found a seat at the back, and listened to the teaching content about the Grim Reaper.

……

It's basically all stuff that Ishihara Sho knew from the original work, including introductions to spirit particles, specific methods for sensing and manipulating them, and ways to train spiritual pressure and increase strength, etc...

Although it may sound like a jumbled mess, well, that's what happens when you don't start listening from the beginning.

So I can only remember it by following the half-finished gourd.

Chapter 169 Claiming Equipment

The course ended quickly.

"Ishihara-kun," Kōichi Kawakazu called out.

“Teacher,” Ishihara Akira replied, standing up.

"Come with me."

"Yes."

Then, the two left the classroom, walked through the corridor, and came to another room filled with books. Old Kawa found the staff there and asked them to bring out the books that the students of the Shinigami Academy would use in class.

"Let's carry these up," said Old Chuan Gong.

"Oh." Ishihara Sho replied, stepped forward, and hugged the textbook, which consisted of about seven or eight volumes but was almost as thick as three large dictionaries.

"Let's go."

Then, the two set off again to another place called the Armory, where they obtained the prototype of their Zanpakuto, Asauchi, from the Armory's administrator.

Then they left the armory again and moved on to the next location.

But they went to collect their clothes.

That is, the Death Knight Armor!

After that, Old Chuan took him to the student dormitory and assigned him an empty room that no one was using.

That's right, not only is attending the True Spiritual Arts Academy free, but you also need to stay there!

In other words, students can only leave the college during school holidays or when they have specifically requested leave; otherwise, they must remain in the college until graduation.

"Put your things down first, I'll take you to the cafeteria," said Old Chuan Gongyi, standing at the door of the dormitory assigned to Ishihara Akira.

"Oh." Ishihara Akira quickly put his textbooks, Shinigami uniform, and Asauchi on his bed in the dormitory, got up and left the dormitory. After locking the door, he walked towards the cafeteria of Shinigami Academy under the guidance of Kōichi Kōichi.

"There's no limit to how much food you can eat here, but there's one thing you absolutely must not waste," Old Kawakami warned Ishihara Akira, who was standing next to him, as they arrived at the cafeteria, which resembled a modern university cafeteria.

"Yes," Ishihara Akira assured.

As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, he was taught from a young age not to waste food, not even a single grain of rice should be left in the empty bowl after a meal. Naturally, he would not waste food carelessly, even if the food might not suit his taste.

But as I said before, it's good enough to have something to eat, so why would you have the nerve to be picky?

"The curriculum at the Shinigami Academy is generally divided into two parts: theory and practice. They are usually held in the morning and afternoon respectively. That is to say, the morning is mostly theory classes, and the afternoon is all practical classes. As a newcomer, you may not be able to keep up with the current pace or adapt to the current teaching plan. I can be a little more lenient with you, but I still hope that you can take the initiative to review the knowledge you have missed in your spare time." After sitting down at the dining table, Old Kawa Koichi said to Ishihara Sho very responsibly.

"Of course, there are many things you may not understand, but don't worry. I allow you to ask me questions when you encounter anything you don't understand, and I will do my best to help you catch up so that you can achieve the same learning level as your classmates."

"Okay, teacher, I will work hard and I will definitely not let you down," Ishihara Akira promised, patting his chest.

Since there's no way to get involved in the plot, I might as well stay at the Shinigami Academy and learn all the fundamentals of Shinigami, graduate smoothly and become a qualified Shinigami. I can also take advantage of the school opportunity to practice the Six-Syllable Great Light Mantra and eliminate any hidden dangers in my body.

As for Arrancar and Hogyoku...

If the Six-Syllable Great Illumination Mantra could really resolve his troubles, he would be a fool to use the Hogyoku to transform himself into a demon.

Being a broken face isn't a good thing!

That truly brings out and manifests the dark side within you!

While this might help him draw out the hidden schemes of Satan and Mara within him, it could also prematurely plunge him into the crisis of being devoured and replaced.

Therefore, Ishihara Sho would never take this step unless absolutely necessary.

Zanpakuto is different. Although it is also a way to guide the awakening and manifestation of the essence deep within the soul, its host body is Asauchi, and the soul essence manifested is also a sword spirit. Although it is terrifying, it is still within a controllable range. As long as it does not encounter the Zanpakuto activation incident in the original work, it is truly the safest way to eliminate hidden dangers.

Besides these, what else is in the original plot?

Or what benefits can one gain from participating?

He doesn't intend to finish being a teacher.

As for the Quincy's training methods...

Why not just go directly to Ishida Uryu's father to get it?

If his methods couldn't handle the Death Captains who specialized in souls, surely he could handle a human who relied on bloodline power?
