Death: So I am a Quincy

"This, this, this is..." The Grim Reaper in charge of the inspection gradually opened his mouth.

People around were still talking about it, as this was the first time they had seen such a dazzling light.

"Sixth-level, or even almost fifth-level spiritual power. This is almost approaching the level of vice-captain's spiritual power..." the Grim Reaper muttered to himself.

Amemiya was surprised. According to Kyoraku Shunsui's description, spiritual power refers to the concentration of spiritual pressure residing in the spirit particle. The fifth level of spiritual power is already the level of vice-captain, and he now possesses spiritual power close to the fifth level. Such a gifted talent can prove his potential, but it may also attract bad eyes. The worst possibility is that he will be noticed by Aizen Sosuke who is still in Soul Society.

However, after careful consideration, although his potential in Soul Society is indeed extraordinary, from Aizen's perspective, it is not necessary. Moreover, the lifespan of the Shinigami is extremely long, and the "vice-captain" who has not yet grown up does not pose any threat. Having made up his mind, Amamiya knows that there should not be too many troubles in the future, but he should not take it lightly. He just needs to absorb all nutrients seriously and grow quickly.

"Excuse me, Lord Death, am I qualified?" Amamiya asked softly.

"Of course, please come in." The Grim Reaper in charge of the inspection replied, and immediately arranged for someone to bring Amamiya in.

Although he was detected to have fifth-level spiritual power, Amemiya did not show off his talent in front of others. In the current Soul Society, having too much talent is not a good thing. If he does something out of line again, he might be noticed by the people above him.

Afterwards, Amemiya Tsutomu was brought to the real location of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy. The teacher in charge of reception brought Amemiya Tsutomu there and took part in the entrance examination of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy. After passing a series of incomprehensible examinations, Amemiya Tsutomu was deemed qualified.

I really don't know why Hisagi Shuhei failed the exam twice and finally became the vice-captain. This exam is really weird, and even Amemiya complained about it secretly.

Afterwards, a special teacher was responsible for distributing clothes to the academicians of the Shinō Academy and allocating accommodations to the incoming academicians. Amamiya came to the dormitory and looked out the window. He would spend the next six years here.

That's right, regardless of whether his training in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy has truly reached the level of a true ordinary officer of the Shinigami, Amemiya plans to stay for the full six years. It is impossible for him to skip a grade, no matter whether he has the ability or not.

In the history of Soul Society, there are only a few members of the Shinō Academy who are truly gifted enough to skip grades, including Shiba Kaien, Ichimaru Gin, and Hitsugaya Toushirou. These three people who skipped grades are undoubtedly true geniuses. However, geniuses also have their disadvantages, especially those under Aizen's watch, who are given special treatment.

Shiba Kaien's wife was devoured by Metastasia, a Hollow with fusion power created by Aizen, and she herself died at the hands of this Hollow. Ichimaru Gin, who was undercover under Aizen, also died at the hands of Aizen. Hitsugaya Toushirou was played around by Aizen many times through Hinamori Momo.

Should he graduate early and study higher-level knowledge to improve his strength, or stay in the Zhengzhong Spiritual Arts Academy for six years to avoid Aizen's attention? Amamiya is now facing a choice.

Chapter 4 The Strangeness of “Shallow Hitting”

"Don't die. I don't want to die. Keep living. No matter who it is, no one can take my/your life away..."

There was a similar sound in his dream. After joining the Maou Spiritual Academy for a while, there was always a sound that was "harassing" Amemiya Tou.

Amemiya recalled the plot of the world of Bleach and guessed that this might be related to Zanpakuto. A similar case was Hitsugaya Toshiro. Before he became a Shinigami, there was a voice calling him. Maybe he was in a similar situation.

'As the youngest captain of Soul Society, Hitsugaya Toushirou's talent is obvious, but even such a genius was easily controlled by Aizen. If I were in the same situation and was discovered by Aizen, he would probably show off his talent in front of me in a friendly way.' Amamiya thought to himself, but showing talent in advance also has its benefits, that is, before the Thousand Year Blood War begins, he can improve his strength until he has the ability to protect himself.

When he opened his eyes and woke up in the dormitory of Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, Amemiya Tsutomu found that it was still early, but he was no longer sleepy. Today was a special day. Maou Spiritual Arts Academy was going to issue a shallow beating to all students today, which made Amemiya Tsutomu a little impatient.

"Listen carefully, the Asauchi is only loaned to you temporarily. If you fail to graduate successfully in the next six years, the Shinō Academy will take back the Asauchi. Only those who truly graduate and join the Gotei 13 can truly possess the Asauchi and become a true Shinigami."

"In the days ahead, you will all live and sleep with this 'Asauchi'. Through accumulated training, you can write the essence of your soul into the Asauchi, and then you can create 'your own Zanpakutō'. However, those who can turn Asauchi into a Zanpakutō are well-known in Soul Society. Some people may never get their own Zanpakutō in their entire lives, so you must treat Asauchi well."

The teacher in charge of distributing the shallow swords at the Maou Academy spoke to the academicians on the stage. Behind him, there was a row of shallow swords similar to Japanese samurai swords. Everyone's eyes were fixed on these shallow swords, wishing they could pick them up right now.

As the shallow balls were distributed, it was soon Amamiya's turn. Amamiya had a calm expression as he picked up the shallow ball in front of him.

"Are you the only one who possesses the fifth-level spiritual power this time? You must take the shallow strike seriously." The teacher in charge of distributing it at the Maou Spiritual Academy looked at Amamiya Tsutomu.

"Yes, I understand. I will take it seriously." Amemiya was not surprised. The fifth-level spiritual power was already enough to make some people remember him. In the days to come at the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, he must not show too much talent. He must be cautious. He must be cautious, Amemiya told himself.

"Next, I will tell you how to write the essence of your soul into the Asado, so that the Asado can better record your soul..." After all the Asado were distributed, the teacher in charge began to teach everyone the key points about how the Asado could transform into a Zanpakutō.

……

After returning to the dormitory and waiting for everyone to fall asleep, Amemiya took out the Asada, sat cross-legged on the bed, placed the Asada on his legs and began to feel it quietly.

During the day, when Amemiya just got the shallow beater, he found that the sound that had been harassing him for the past few months was becoming louder and clearer.

Amemiya had not entered deep meditation during the day's teachings in order to avoid doing anything that would attract attention, but now was a good opportunity to figure out the true source of the sound.

As his attention became more focused, Yu Gong gradually lost consciousness...

When he opened his eyes again, Amemiya found himself in a room. Upon closer inspection, this was the same room he was in in the present world. The layout of the room and the placement of items were exactly the same as what he saw after he regained consciousness.

"Why, is it this place... Am I in my own spiritual world now?" Amamiya walked to the window, but found that there was nothing outside the window. It was not the street he saw in the real world.

"You should understand why it is this place and why all the objects are exactly the same as they were then..." A sudden voice coming from behind made Amemiya turn around quickly and look at the owner of the voice.

It was a boy with black hair and blue eyes, who looked no older than ten years old. He was wearing a white robe and had his hands on his chest. On his right wrist was a cross pendant. The boy looked at Amamiya Tsutomu, waiting for his answer.

"Are you my Zanpakutō? Even if I have just injected my soul essence into it, it won't be able to transform so quickly." Amemiya asked. He didn't understand. Even if he was really gifted, he wouldn't be able to liberate the sword the first time he injected his soul essence into it.

"Zanpakuto... Humph, I am not a Zanpakuto now. I only have the opportunity to meet you with the help of this Asahi. Who I am? The voice in your heart should tell you. After all, you also know what that voice represents." The black-haired young man in white clothes did not intend to answer too much in detail, but just replied ambiguously.

Amemiya was thinking about the strange things that had happened in recent times. At first he thought that he had heard the call of his Zanpakuto just like Hitsugaya Toshiro, but now it seems that was not the case.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that this voice is very similar to the voice that Amamiya heard just before he regained consciousness in the present world. These voices, without exception, represent the same emotion, just like the words he said in response to Ishida Ryugen...

"That's right. I don't intend to keep you in suspense. You know, you have already truly died once, but before you died, your desire to live and your unwillingness to give up awakened the latent power of your original body, you know."

"…Is it the power of the Quincy?" This is the only possibility, Amamiya replied.

“Hahaha, yes, I am that power. But don’t you have any doubts? How could you, a half-blood Quincy, survive? Yhwach is not a kind guy. The Holy Seal collects the power of all half-blood Quincy, including their souls. How come you are the only one who survived as a soul?”

Amemiya began to frown. His previous guess was not wrong. The dead person who could attract Ishida Ryugen to investigate could only be a half-blood Quincy after his sanctification. And he was the only surviving "dead person". But why did he become the special one?

"There is another person, who is just like you. No, it should be said that he is even more special than you. After all, he is the only half-blood Quincy who has not been affected by the Sainthood."

"Ishida Uryu!" Amemiya was shocked and thought of a truly special person.

"That's right, Ishida Uryu." The black-haired young man in white said to Amamiya with a smile, "Then you should understand the power I represent."

"Completely antithesis (Antithesis), Ishida Uryu's unawakened holy text made him successfully unaffected by the influence of holiness. Similarly, you are also my holy text..." Amemiya Tsutomu finally understood that those unwilling wills at the time successfully stimulated a trace of power in the holy text in his body. Although his body died, his soul survived.

"Holy text?... That's right. You're really lucky. When you were dying, you successfully called out a bit of my power, allowing your soul to survive. Originally, if you hadn't contacted Asado, I would have been an unknown existence in your body for the rest of my life. But because of Asado, I had the opportunity to gain my own will and communicate with you."

"Then, what is the power of your 'holy text', and why can it keep my soul immune to its effects?" Yu Gongdu frowned. He knew that the power of his holy text must be extraordinary, otherwise his soul would have perished along with his body.

"Hehe, this, I'll leave it to you to discover. Sooner or later, you will use my power. After all, you are now targeting the God of Death. The God of Death must use the way of the 'God of Death' to gain power, right?"

After the black-haired young man in white finished speaking, he gradually turned into smoke and disappeared. Then, the room also began to blur.

Yu Gong felt dazed, and his consciousness was gradually disappearing...

Chapter 5 Weirdness and Enlightenment

"You don't explain clearly, you insist on being a riddle man, ah." Amemiya was having a headache.

Although the power of the Holy Words was bestowed by Yhwach, the characteristics of the Holy Words of each Quincy are different, which means that the unique power of the Holy Words may come from some characteristics of the Quincy itself.

Just like Ishida Uryu, it is very likely that he avoided the "Separation" by relying on his own complete opposite that has not yet awakened. What's more, in the final battle with Haschwood, Haschwood's power was taken away by the Separation, but Ishida Uryu was safe and sound. This is enough to prove that it was Ishida Uryu's peculiarity, or the peculiarity of the complete opposite that caused Yhwach to be unable to take away Ishida Uryu's power.

"Then, is there something special about the power of my holy text..." Amamiya pondered.

"It should be impossible to awaken the Holy Words on your own, unless you contact the people of the Invisible Empire and meet with Yhwach, but the risk is too high, so forget it..." Amemiya thought, "But he said that in the way of the God of Death, could it be Shikai or Bankai..."

It seems that the training of Zanpakutō cannot be neglected. Amemiya stood up and picked up the Asahi. Under the sunlight, the blade flashed a blade light. Amemiya held the Asahi tightly. He knew that this was his future support.

……

"Four White Thunders of Breaking the Path." The fingers stretched out by Amamiya flashed with white lightning, and then the lightning shot out instantly and hit the target not far away.

"Look, it only took such a short time for him to learn Bai Lei. Is he a genius?"

"That person is the only fifth-level spiritual power this time. How can he not be powerful?"

"Fifth rank? Really? Doesn't that mean he might become a vice-captain in the future?"

"Humph, Soul Society has never lacked geniuses in history, but those who can become vice-captains are rare. I don't think he can do it."

The whispers around made Amemiya alert. Maybe he performed too well, but the feeling released by the ghost just now made Amemiya feel strange.

Yu Gongdu looked at his hands. When Bai Lei was released, he had already controlled the spiritual power released. If he injected all the spiritual power, it might be more amazing. However, releasing a low-level broken way, it was already very laborious to control it. It seemed that he had to find other ways to exercise control.

But strangely, Amemiya felt that using the Hado was not as difficult as he had imagined. "Perhaps it is the instinct of the Quincy, the instinct to manipulate spirit particles to fight," Amemiya guessed. It seems that the plan may have to be changed.

It turns out that Amemiya To's plan was to graduate safely from the Maou Spiritual Academy as the Sixth Reincarnation and not show too much talent so as not to be noticed by some people in Soul Society.

But what if I still have some of the qualities of a Quincy? A stable development may not be able to keep up with the drastic changes in Soul Society. Maybe I should take a risk?

"I have to give it a try," Amemiya fell into deep thought.

At night, when everyone fell asleep, Amemiya sat cross-legged with his legs across Asada, seemingly writing the essence of his soul into Asada. After observing that everyone had fallen asleep, Amemiya stretched out a hand and recalled the feeling of using the Dekido during the day.

The way of the ghost is to gather the spiritual energy of spirit particles through specific chanting and the power of words, and release it in a special way.

What Amamiya wanted to do was simply to gather spirit particles, just like the basic power of the Quincy, spirit particle gathering. As time passed, there was no change on Amamiya's palm.

"Is it because I am using it the wrong way, or does the Soul Beam require the Extinction Cross to be used?" Amemiya thought back.

The Quincy Cross may be a crucial medium. Ishida Uryuu cannot do without it every time he uses the power of the Quincy. But later, the people of the Invisible Empire used the power of the Quincy without using this medium, which proves that spirit particle beaming can be used without the Quincy Cross.

Perhaps, we shouldn't use the method of the god of death to gather spirit particles. Amamiya removed the control and closed his eyes. If he really had Quincy blood, then he would rely on instinct, relying on the little Quincy blood in his blood. 'Come, gather them in my hands...'

Finally, Yu Gongdu suddenly opened his eyes and saw the faint blue-white light in his palm. He stared at the blue light and slowly smiled.

"Sure enough, even in the spirit state, I can use the power of the Quincy, just like Ichigo Kurosaki awakened his blood suit after coming into contact with the Quincy. It may be that my contact with Ryugen Ishida in the real world has caused my Quincy blood to gradually awaken."

After dispersing the spiritual power gathered in his hands, Amemiya did not plan to try again. The Quincy's spirit particle gathering ability could easily be discovered by the God of Death. In the future in Soul Society, he must not continue to use this ability unless the environment is absolutely safe.

"It seems that the plan has to be changed. If possible, we should try to master the power of both the Shinigami and the Quincy. But the power of the Quincy can only be sought in the human world by looking for Ishida Ryugen... Then the Gotei 13 who want to join will know what to choose."

"But there is still a question, should I graduate early..." Amemiya believed that with his own abilities, although he might not be able to skip grades like Hitsugaya Toushirou, it should not be a problem to graduate one or two years early.

'If the guessed time is correct, and he graduates normally, then there is only less than a year left before the plot begins. So graduating early gives him time to go to the human world. If he can reach a cooperation with Ishida Ryugen, then even if there is a risk of being noticed, it is worth it.

After all, after the story begins, there is not much time left for me to practice. I can't guarantee that I have the same ability as Kurosaki Ichigo to learn Bankai in just a few days.'

Amemiya has already decided that graduating early is a must, because Amemiya also wants to master the power of the Quincy, and Ishida Ryugen is the best choice. Ishida Ryugen once said to Ishida Uryu, "I'm not interested, and you have no talent", and his subsequent actions also showed that Ishida Ryugen's Quincy ability is extremely strong.

Besides, among the Quincy left in the world, Amemiya only knows Ishida Ryugen.

He was certain that he could convince Ryugen Ishida to teach him the ability of a Quincy, so he worked hard to learn the Zankenzoogei technique in Soul Society and meet the graduation standards. He would then go to the human world in a suitable manner to find Ryugen Ishida and convince him to learn the ability of a Quincy.

"Let's arrange the next plan like this." Amamiya began his training as a god of death, looking at the shallow hit on his thigh, and began writing in the essence of today.

In this dangerous world, only your own strength is real. If you just get by, you may become cannon fodder at any time. So become strong, so strong that no one can kill you, so strong that you can survive no matter where you are, and so strong that you can do what you want.

I still remember the feeling of dying at the Holy Separation. I will never let anyone take my life again, no matter if you are the King of the Quincies or the Zero Squad of the Shinigami. Amemiya clenched his hands unconsciously.

"Yes, that's it, your will, your desire, you have to reject him, reject them, and reject anyone who intends to invade you." The black-haired, blue-eyed boy walked to the window in a messy room and looked out.

In this dark night where Amemiya once died, a glimmer of light seems to have appeared...

Chapter 6: Squad

In the suburbs, at the 13th Squad barracks, Kotetsu Kiyone quickly ran towards Kuchiki Rukia who was practicing in the open space behind the barracks.

"Rukia, have you heard?" Kotetsu Kiyone looked at Kuchiki Rukia excitedly.

"What's the matter? Why are you so excited?" Rukia Kuchiki was puzzled and slowly put down the knife in her hand. Until now, Rukia Kuchiki still couldn't get used to Totsu Kiyone's loud voice, so she asked helplessly.

"Newbies, newbies! We have newbies joining the Thirteenth Division!"

"He's just a newcomer, why did you tell me specifically?" Rukia was puzzled. There are new members joining the Gotei 13 every year. Although there are not many people joining the 13th Squad, the joining of newcomers is not something worthy of attention.

"This new guy is different." Kotetsu Kiyone continued to explain excitedly in her loud voice, "This new guy is a genius. I heard that he completed the six-year course of the Maou Spiritual Academy in just four years."

"A genius who graduated early?"

"That's right, just like the current captains Ichimaru Gin and Hitsugaya Toushirou, they all graduated early. And I heard that when he entered the Maou Spiritual Academy, he was detected to have a spiritual power close to the fifth level, which is close to the spiritual power of the vice-captain level!"

Rukia Kuchiki's thoughts began to flow back. She herself did not join the 13th Division by passing the graduation exam and the entrance test normally. When she first joined the team, she was troubled by rumors because of this situation. It was only under the warm guidance of the former vice-captain Shiba Kaiyan and his wife Shiba Mizu that she gradually got rid of the trouble.

"Come to think of it, Vice Captain Kaiyan is also a genius who graduated early, but..." Rukia Kuchiki's face still darkened. She thought of the scene where Shiba Kaiyan died under her knife.

"Rukia..." When Kotetsu Kiyone saw her expression, he knew what Rukia was thinking, and his usually loud voice began to lower.

"No, I'm fine. In order to become a god of death like Vice Captain Haiyan and Senior Du, I can't continue to be depressed for so long." Kuchiki Rukia said to Kotetsu Kiyone with a forced smile, "So, what's the name of the new guy?"

"I heard that his name was Amamiya Tsutomu, and the captain personally participated in the team admission test."

"Amamiya...Tou?" Rukia was confused again. This name once belonged to Shiba Tou, the wife of the death god Shiba Kaiyan whom she respected the most.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? The captain will be back soon." Sentaro Kotsubaki appeared next to them and shouted to Rukia Kuchiki and Kiyon Kotetsu.

"I knew it a long time ago. I know better than you what Captain Ukitake did today! There's no need for you to remind me!" Kotetsu Qingyin immediately retorted loudly.

"What did you say? You clearly ran back after hearing the news, but you are here saying that you knew it a long time ago?" Xiaochun Sentaro walked up quickly and looked down at Kotetsu Kiyone.

The two men glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in. Rukia Kuchiki could only laugh dryly on the side. Although she knew that the two had a good relationship, she still felt helpless when they had to argue over Captain Ukitake from time to time.

"Captain Ukitake will be back soon!" The team members in the team dormitory suddenly shouted, and Kotsubaki Sentaro and Kotetsu Kiyone immediately got up and ran to the door.

"It must be me who will be the first to greet Captain Ukitake!"

"No, it's me. I will definitely be the first one to appear in front of the captain to greet him!"

The two of them were arguing as they ran and started running quickly.
