I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

He also saw a sixth-grader he knew; those were the same people who led the team when they went to the real world for training.

But... what about Mashu?

Where is Mashu?

"senior--"

"Mash," Fujimaru Ritsuka said, looking at Mash with a sigh of relief, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, senpai," Mashu said with a smile. "It's just... I don't know what's going on here?"

"Ah, if we're talking about that incident, it must have been eight or nine years ago, right?"

"Alright—quiet!"

A Shinigami on the front desk shouted, "Everyone gather here and do not move around! The Seireitei has been invaded by an unknown enemy! Also—all students who know Shikai, step forward!"

"Shikai? How is that possible..."

"How could a single student possibly master something like that..."

"Hey, don't say that. Last year, Gin Ichimaru mastered it as soon as he enrolled, and now he's the captain of the Fifth Division."

"But he's the only one, right?"

"Silence!" Death shouted to all the students, releasing a slight spiritual pressure that made everyone feel a slight sinking feeling in their hearts.

Death himself didn't care about this; he was just casually shouting out the order from above.

During the six-year study period, even among the top students, it often takes two or three classes for someone to master the initial release before graduation—of course, some geniuses are exceptions.

But a genius like Gin Ichimaru just appeared recently, how could there be another one?

"Um... I've mastered the initial release."

Death paused for a moment, looked at the little girl who had stepped forward, and said, "You are... a first-year student?"

"Yes, I am Matthew Kyrielight from year one."

"Is that so... then, release... no, release your spiritual pressure." The Shinigami quickly changed his words. According to the order, even someone who had mastered Shikai might not be able to use their Zanpakuto at this moment.

This is the current predicament.

"I see."

Mashu nodded.

hum-

The next moment, Death on the front desk buckled and almost knelt down.

Chapter 1050 Madness

Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy——

The central hall fell silent.

One by one, the Grim Reaper trainees stood there, clutching their chests and struggling to breathe.

Even the Grim Reaper at the front desk was stunned for a moment, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

'Impossible... This spiritual pressure... It's definitely at the level of a captain or even a vice-captain...' The Shinigami swallowed hard and looked at Mash: 'Is this guy... another Gin Ichimaru?'

"I understand, quickly withdraw your spiritual pressure—!"

"Huh? Yes!" Mashu was stunned for a moment, then saw Fujimaru Ritsuka struggling to breathe.

Unlike before, when I fought Gin Ichimaru, one of us used Shikai and the other used Bankai.

However, they suppressed their spiritual pressure as much as possible in order not to be discovered.

This is the first time Mashu has released her spiritual pressure so unreservedly.

Terao Maho stared blankly at Mashu, who had withdrawn her spiritual pressure, while also feeling a bit bitter.

The few people I've met, Ryougi and Miyabi, are now the vice-captains of the Eleventh Division.

Gin Ichimaru is currently the third seat of the Fifth Division.

And now it's Matthew Kyrielight again. This guy... isn't any worse than Gin, is he? At least not worse than the Gin Ichimaru he knew before graduation. In other words... another seated officer?

Is the world really this crazy?

He's the only one left who's still stuck in the same place and hasn't even unleashed his Zanpakuto.

And he remembered that Mashu had worked very hard, extremely hard...

Gin Ichimaru also worked very hard back then.

These geniuses work so hard, how can an ordinary person like him survive? He's completely incomparable... He's using the wrong benchmark!

It's because...

Don't you have a goal?

Mashu is looking at something...

Gin Ichimaru is also one of them.

He just... didn't understand. He didn't understand what these people were looking at, but he knew it definitely wasn't a position like vice-captain or captain, but something else, something else entirely...

Perhaps it was because they weren't looking at those locations that they unknowingly wandered off to those places.

Perhaps what Mashu and Gin Ichimaru saw... was something that even becoming a captain wouldn't be able to accomplish?

"So that's why they're so strong..." Terao Maho watched Mashu's retreating figure as she left with the Shinigami. "I only wanted to become a Seat Officer... so I'm not as good as them? Gin..."

......

"What's wrong? Style?"

Ryougi Kazuya, who was about to call Shiki to go to the First Division together, was stunned when she saw her holding the blade.

"Zhi... is gone."

"Huh? Ah..." Ryougi Kazumi paused for a moment and said, "She's probably just gone out to play temporarily, she'll be back later, right?"

I'm going to find her—

brush--

Ryougi Shiki used Shunpo to leave through the door.

"Hey—wait! Shiki!" Ryougi Kazuya hurriedly followed: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"You know something about what happened this time, right?"

"Ah, I know, or rather, I'm one of the masterminds... I'm the one who told others about Muramasa's existence." Ryougi Kazuya quickly said, "But is this really okay?"

"Oh, it's okay."

"What about the First Squad?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Ha." Ryougi Kazumi sighed, "Really, I know, then I'll go with you."

Ryougi Shiki stopped and looked at Ryougi Kazuya: "You didn't need to come along, did you? I'm going to find Ori, or is there something wrong with your Zanpakuto too?"

“My Zanpakuto is fine.” Ryougi Kazuya shook his head. “She’s a bit special.”

Moreover... his Zanpakuto is currently in a released state, but this time it's not Shiki connected to him, but to Origami. It would be too dangerous for Shiki to cross over like this.

He couldn't let two people out of his sight at the same time.

If the form is gone, then the next form follows; if the weaving is gone, then the next weaving follows.

One's own vision ensures one's safety, and one's Zanpakuto ensures one's safety... Only in this way can it be done.

That place must be where many Zanpakuto gather.

Even... there might be Aizen's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, among them.

Even without Aizen, it was still an extremely dangerous weapon, but... this was also an experiment.

If successful, everything will go awry, Aizen's danger will be exposed to everyone in the Gotei 13 right now, and the power of Kyoka Suigetsu will be revealed.

This is also his fundamental goal.

This time there will be chaos, but no one will die as a result.

Unless, Muramasa doesn't want his master to have an easy time, he still believes that Ryougi, Yahira, and Shinji know how to break the seal on their master.

“Then, I’ll go alone.” Shiki looked at Ryougi and said, “Don’t underestimate me. Although I lost to that squinty-eyed guy before, that was before. I’m different now. My spiritual pressure and swordsmanship have both improved a lot, as has my mastery of Bankai.”

Are you a Saiyan? You evolve every time you're near death, and you even have squinty eyes? If Captain Unohana heard this, even if the Captain-Commander were there to break it up, it probably wouldn't make a difference.

They'll definitely unleash their Bankai and strike without holding back...

Ryougi Kazumi suppressed his urge to complain and said, "No, there must be countless Zanpakuto where Ori is. How can I let you go there alone?"

"So, my orders are: I'm the captain now, and you're the vice-captain, therefore—"

“Orders are useless, refuse orders.” Ryougi Kazumi said directly, “Now is not the time to play the captain’s game.”

"So what do you suggest we do? Just leave me to watch from the sidelines?"

“Ah, there won’t be any danger this time. Although there might be a lot of commotion, it will only be to this extent,” Ryougi Kazumi said. “We just need to watch the show. It’s okay, it’s safe. You know my Zanpakuto ability. It’s been protecting it all along. Even if it encounters any danger, I’ll know immediately.”

"Zanpakuto ability... ah, that." Ryougi Shiki paused for a moment before realizing what she meant.

“I know, she’ll definitely come back anyway.” Shiki sighed, “She’ll come back and try to defeat me and awaken her Bankai... that’s just wishful thinking. How could I possibly lose to her?”

"Ah, so don't worry, the Captain-Commander must be getting impatient... That guy has been pretty good to us... It's all within the rules, so don't make the old man worry."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

only...

Having temporarily lost the weaving, I feel a void inside.

Ah, but having someone around to fill that void feels pretty good.
