Death: So I am a Quincy

The next day, Amamiya arrived at Karakura Town and rushed to Karakura General Hospital without stopping to continue searching for information.

"Found it." Amemiya looked at the paper in his hand.

The deceased, Amamiya Michi, died on June 200, 6x, and lived in xxx. He was found dead with an extremely hideous expression, and the room was in a mess. The cause of death is unknown...

Amamiya couldn't help but clench his hands, and the memory of death came back. Seeing his own death certificate with his own eyes, Amamiya was even more determined to become stronger.

Then Amemiya noticed that there was a line of small words on the edge of the paper, which read: The anatomist was Ryugen Ishida.

Then Amamiya looked at the other dead bodies. Without exception, the information on them all said: The autopsy doctor was Ryugen Ishida.

"It seems that Ishida Ryugen has been looking for the cause of death of the mixed-blood Quincy since then. I wonder if he has found the raw materials of silver blood clots." Amemiya pondered.

Putting the information back in his hand, Amemiya jumped out of the window. All the information has been collected, and the next step is to meet with Ishida Ryugen. And Amemiya has already found the director's office of Karakura General Hospital where Ishida Ryugen is.

"Then let's get started," Amamiya said silently.

……

When Ishida Ryugen came to the hospital to work as usual, he noticed something was wrong. As a Quincy, he could still see the spiritual veins, and the red spiritual veins that symbolized the god of death were particularly eye-catching. He thought it was just a daily patrol by the stationed god of death, so he ignored it.

But as he walked towards his office, the red spiritual veins became more and more obvious, which meant that the spiritual power of the god of death did not stay in his office for long.

'The only Shinigami who know the identity of the Ishida family Quincy should be Urahara and that guy.' Ishida Ryugen thought, "But the two of them shouldn't sneak up on me. Am I being targeted by other Shinigami?"

Ishida Ryugen casually passed through those spiritual veins. He did not intend to start a war, but to remain unchanged in the face of change. Ishida Ryugen still had some confidence in his own strength, and he had not hunted hollows frequently for a long time, so he should not be discovered.

In the evening, Ishida Ryugen packed up his things and was about to leave work. Suddenly, his hand holding the briefcase paused, as if he had discovered something. But he still pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and prepared to leave the office as usual.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Ishida." Amamiya called him from the window. "It's me, Amamiya. Five years ago, you saved me at my home."

Ishida Ryugen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to meet this "special" deceased.

"Amamiya Tsutomu..." Ishida Ryugen slowly turned around and saw Amamiya Tsutomu wearing a Shinigami uniform. "You have become a Shinigami, so why do you come to me, a Quincy? Are you trying to complete the Shinigami's unfinished crusade against the Quincies?"

Ishida Ryugen doesn't have a very good impression of the God of Death, although Urahara Kisuke and Shiba Isshin helped him. But just a few years ago, his father disappeared in Hueco Mundo, which made Ishida Ryugen wonder whether his father really died in the Hollow, or whether it was related to the God of Death.

"Mr. Ishida, you're joking. I wouldn't do such a thing to my savior. Although there are many grudges between the Shinigami and the Quincies, I personally have not revealed anything about you in Soul Society." Amemiya explained.

Ishida Ryugen felt a little relieved, but at the same time he was a little curious. Why did Amemiya, who was already a god of death, come to the human world specifically to find him, a Quincy?

"Mr. Ishida, I want to show you something." Amemiya said.

"That's not necessary. There's nothing to talk about between me and the God of Death." Ishida Ryugen said coldly. Even though he now knew that Amemiya Tsutomu was once a half-blood Quincy, he still didn't want to have too much contact with him due to his current identity as a God of Death.

"Mr. Ishida, please read it before you decide." After saying this, Amamiya raised one hand. The spirit particles in the world were a little thin, but it did not prevent Amamiya from slowly gathering them in his hands. As time passed, the spirit particles gradually formed the shape of an arrow in Amamiya's hand.

Seeing this, Ishida Ryugen couldn't hide his inner surprise. Amemiya Tsutomu, who was already a god of death, used the Quincy's exclusive ability of spirit particle clustering. This was unreasonable in any way.

"This is……"

"When I was in Soul Society, I accidentally discovered that I had the ability to use spirit particle clusters, but I didn't dare to use it openly. I also know some of the history of Shinigami and Quincies, so I came here specifically to ask you, Mr. Ishida." Amemiya said.

Ishida Ryugen calmed down. Even if he discovered Amemiya Tou's abnormality again, Ishida Ryugen didn't want Amemiya Tou to get involved in his affairs.

"So what? I am no longer a Quincy, and I have fought very few Hollows. What you said has nothing to do with me."

"Then my autopsy and all the Quincy who died on June 200, 6x have nothing to do with you." Amemiya asked back.

"What do you want to say?" Ishida Ryugen didn't expect that Amemiya had investigated to this extent.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ishida. I have investigated all the people who died on that day, and I have also investigated your wife. Although she did not die on that day, I'm afraid something happened to her on that day." Amemiya Tsutomu did not actually find out the name of Katagiri Yehui, he just used it to deceive him.

When Ishida Ryugen heard this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, but then immediately let go.

"And then?" he asked calmly.

"I've thought about a lot of things. Whether it's Mr. Ishida's 'accidental' appearance near my house, or the death of Mr. Ishida's wife, or the fact that I can use spirit particle beaming." Amemiya replied. "June 200, 6x, this special day. I couldn't help but guess. Is it that some people with special properties died or had accidents on that day at the same time? And the identity of the dead people, is it a Quincy?"

Ishida Ryugen did not speak, and the fact that the deceased were all half-blood Quincy had not been discovered. As for the rest, Amemiya had already told most of the truth.

Chapter 19 Formal Request

Amemiya looked at the silent Ishida Ryugen and stopped talking, waiting for Ishida Ryugen.

"None of this has anything to do with you." After a long while, Ishida Ryugen spoke again. "Since you have become a god of death, then the affairs of the Quincy have nothing to do with you."

"Is it irrelevant..." Amemiya looked at his hand and gathered his spirit particles again, "Then Mr. Ishida Ryugen, please tell me what is in my hand, why all the dead that day had unknown causes of death, why you dissected my body, why I survived as a soul, and the souls of others were dissipated or swallowed by the hollows, or sent to the Soul Society."

Of course, Ishida Ryugen couldn't tell him that the others didn't even have souls left, and only Amamiya Tsutomu survived the accident.

"Mr. Ishida, stop avoiding me. As a Shinigami who can use the power of a Quincy, I am also a heretic in the eyes of the Shinigami. That unclear death is still fresh in my memory, and I... don't want to experience this kind of unclear death again." Amemiya advised.

"That incident must not be accidental. Have you fully investigated the hidden things behind it?"

"..." Ishida Ryugen didn't know whether to tell Amemiya Tsutomu the information he had investigated, but what Amemiya Tsutomu said was indeed correct. As a God of Death, he actually used the power of a Quincy. In the eyes of a real God of Death, he was a heretic.

Amemiya saw the hesitation in Ishida Ryugen's heart, so he decided to raise the stakes.

"I am now a Shinigami belonging to the Gotei 13, and I am affiliated with Squad 13. The main task of Squad 13 is to go to the human world to purify the Hollows and bury wandering souls." Amamiya explained.

"Mr. Ishida, Soul Society is one of the three realms, so it must contain a lot of information. I can help you find information about Quincies, and I will also help you keep an eye out for anything related to Quincies that appear in Soul Society in the future."

Ishida Ryugen was silent for a while before he asked.

"What is your purpose? Why do you do this? The truth is not important to you. As long as you do your job well, none of this matters." Ishida Ryugen was confused. He didn't know why Amamiya took the initiative to bring up all this. "As for the power of the Quincy, as long as you don't use it, there will be no problem."

"Mr. Ishida, you shouldn't be such a naive person. You should know this saying. A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure. As an unusual god of death, as long as I have the power of a Quincy, trouble will come to me." Amemiya said with a wry smile.

"I have only one real goal," Amamiya said. "That is to master the power so that no one can hurt me because of my specialness. So, I boldly ask Mr. Ishida to teach me how to use the power of a Quincy."

Ishida Ryugen felt a little unreal at the moment. He didn't expect that the god of death would ask for guidance. This is really...

But at the same time, Ishida Ryugen also knew the motives behind all of Amamiya's actions. After waiting for a long time, Ishida Ryugen finally had the answer in his heart.

He smiled and said, "As a god of death, you ask for advice from me, a Quincy whose strength is unknown. What if I can't help you?" Ishida Ryugen said this, but he had already agreed to it in his heart.

The cause of his wife's mysterious death has not been truly confirmed, even though he has some guesses. Although he can conduct his own investigation in the real world, Soul Society is indeed his blind spot. If someone can really help with the investigation, it will be beneficial to him. In addition, Ishida Ryugen has other things that only the god of death can do.

"That's better than a half-baked Quincy like me." Amemiya said with a smile, knowing that Ishida Ryugen had almost agreed.

Ishida Ryugen didn't have the glory of a pure-blooded Quincy. To him, the power of a Quincy was just a tool. So he had no feelings towards teaching a heretic like Amamiya. And Ishida Ryugen also hated the power of a Quincy. If the truth had not been investigated and he couldn't lose this power, Ishida Ryugen wouldn't have continued to practice this power in private.

Therefore, Ryugen Ishida did not teach his son about the knowledge of the Quincy. Even though Uryu Ishida had been interested in the power of the Quincy since he was a child under the guidance of his father Sogen Ishida, Ryugen Ishida did not want to teach Uryu Ishida any knowledge.

He hopes that Ishida Uryuu can become a doctor who can save lives like himself in the future, instead of a Quincy who can only take lives. He will put an end to the Quincy business.

"Oh, right." Ishida Ryugen returned to his desk and took out a black box from the drawer. "This, I'm returning to you. It should be something that your family once owned."

Ishida Ryugen threw it to Amemiya Tsutomu, who looked at the familiar black box and opened it. A silver cross lay quietly inside. Amemiya Tsutomu held it tightly. Sure enough, the shape of this cross was exactly the same as the Quincy Cross used by his own Zanpakutō.

"Follow me." Ishida Ryugen walked out of the office. Ishida Ryugen brought Amamiya to the basement of the hospital and then opened a door in an inconspicuous corner.

Ishida Ryugen and Amemiya both stepped in. After entering the door, they came to a pure white space, surrounded by countless white high walls, arranged in no order.

"This is the spiritual space constructed by me. You won't be disturbed or discovered by anyone here." said Ryugen Ishida.

Amemiya looked around and found that this was the place in the original work where Ryugen Ishida helped Uryu Ishida restore the power of the Quincy.

As expected of a pure-blooded Quincy, his ability to construct space with spirit particles is truly amazing. Amamiya sighed inwardly.

"Let's make it clear in advance that I am only responsible for teaching, and how much you can learn depends on you." Ishida Ryugen said. "Also, don't forget what you promised."

"Yes, I understand. Mr. Ishida." Amemiya clenched the Quincy Cross he had just obtained.

"Then let's get started." Ishida Ryugen reached into his chest pocket and took out his own Quincy Cross. Ishida Ryugen's Quincy Cross was different from Amamiya's Quincy Cross. His Quincy Cross was in the shape of a pentagram, while Amamiya's was in the shape of a cross.

The pentagram is the true representative of the Quincy. Amemiya doesn't know what the cross-shaped Quincy Cross represents. It may be the representative of the half-blood Quincy that left Yhwach a thousand years ago, or it may be the symbol of the half-blood Quincy in the world today.

"The ability of the Quincy is the ability to manipulate spirit particles. No matter whether it is fighting or moving, all techniques are inseparable from the manipulation of spirit particles." Ishida Ryugen said as the Quincy cross in his hand glowed blue and white, gradually forming a small bow.

"Use the cross in your hand to form a spiritual bow."

"Since you can already use the spirit particle clustering, it means that you have already mastered the basics of spirit particle manipulation. Next, try to control the size of the condensed spirit bow."

"The bigger the bow, the more powerful the arrows it can shoot, but the speed at which the spirit particles gather will also gradually slow down. The smaller the bow, the less powerful the arrows, but correspondingly, the speed will also increase. Of course, if you are skilled enough, these will not become limitations for Quincy."

"Next, let's use combat to carefully feel the Quincy's ability to manipulate spirit particles." Ishida Ryugen raised the small bow in one hand, without any movement to draw the bow, nor any movement to use spirit particle focusing.

Then suddenly arrows appeared near his bow, and there were more than one arrow. They flew out at a very fast speed.

Amemiya subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to fight back, but Ishida Ryugen's rebuke came immediately.

"Don't draw your sword. If you really want to learn the power of a Quincy, then don't use the Zanpakutō of a Shinigami. Gather the spirit particles in your hands and use the arrows called the Holy Arrows to stop me."

Chapter 20: The True Power of the Quincy

Amemiya put down his sword and quickly used instant movement to dodge the arrows flying in front of him. He held the Quincy Cross in his hand and began to gather spirit particles to form a spirit bow.

"As for instant movement... don't use instant movement, that's a skill of the Shinigami. Try to gather the spirit particles under your feet to move. From now on, I want you to seal all the skills of the Shinigami. Whether it's fighting or moving, use spirit particle control to fight."

This request stumped Amamiya. After all, he had learned it in Soul Society for five years, and it was really hard to not be able to use it all at once. But what Ishida Ryugen said made sense. If you become dependent on the skills of the Shinigami, your ability to control spirit particles will never improve.

"I understand, Mr. Ishida." Amemiya raised the spiritual bow and began to gather arrows with his other hand.

Ishida Ryugen also started to gather arrows with one hand and shoot them at Amamiya Tsutomu. Seeing this, Amamiya Tsutomu also shot arrows at him.

Two arrows flew towards each other, but Amamiya's arrow quickly dissipated when it hit Ishida Ryusen's arrow. "What's going on?" Amamiya's eyes widened. Then he quickly rolled to the side to avoid it.

"The sacred arrow of destruction formed by your gathering of spirit particles is just for show. Both the quality and quantity are far from enough. If it is only at this level, it will be difficult to kill ordinary hollows. Try to compress more spirit particles and maintain the size." Ishida Ryugen's explanation made Amemiya suddenly realize.

It turned out that he was simply gathering spirit particles and forming them into the shape of an arrow, but the power of this arrow was very low.

Amemiya did as he said, gathering the spirit particles to form an arrow, and tried to gather more spirit particles into the arrow, compressing the spirit particles so that the size of the arrow would not change.

But before Amemiya could finish, several more arrows flew at him. Amemiya was hit by the arrows and fell back.

"No one will foolishly wait for you to make the right moves. I've told you to gather your spirit energy at your feet, and don't stop the movements of your hands."

Amamiya stood up and gathered his spirit particles again, and at the same time gathered spirit particles at his feet while running. The ground of this spirit particle space was uneven, and there was no chance for Amamiya to run steadily. He could only rely on various actions to avoid Ishida Ryusen's arrows.

……

"Let's stop here for today." Ishida Ryugen turned around, stopped what he was doing, and prepared to walk out the door.

On the other side, Amemiya was already covered in wounds. Using only the power of a Quincy, Amemiya was still too immature. Under the attack of Ishida Ryugen, not a single part of his body was intact. Fortunately, his spiritual pressure was still sufficient, so it should be no problem for him to perform the task of a Death God.

"From now on, come here on time at five o'clock every day." After saying that, Ishida Ryugen walked out.

"I understand." Amemiya also walked out of the space constructed by the spirit particles.

"By the way, this is for you too." Ishida Ryugen threw the item in his hand. Amemiya caught it and found a black cloak.

"This can temporarily hide your spiritual pressure. It will be troublesome if other Shinigami find out that you frequently come to my side." Ishida Ryugen pushed his glasses and said.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ishida." Amemiya was still thinking about how to get here after Zennosuke Kurumiya recovered, but he didn't expect that Ishida Ryugen had already figured out how to help him hide it from others. And looking at the black cloak in his hand, Amemiya recognized that this should be the prop that Urahara Kisuke and Aizen had used to hide their spiritual pressure.

Then this cloak should have been taken from Urahara Kisuke. Amemiya did not ask, and Ishida Ryugen did not explain, and the two reached a tacit understanding.

"Just a deal." Ishida Ryugen walked out of the hospital and no longer paid attention to Amemiya To.

Amemiya Tsuya did not stay there any longer, but went to his old home. But five years later, the old room was demolished and someone else moved in.

This meant that the last trace of Amemiya Tsutomu in the human world had also disappeared. After just one look at this room and the street, Amemiya Tsutomu was no longer nostalgic. Because at this moment, Amemiya Tsutomu no longer had the time to reminisce. In the next few years, both the human world and the Soul Society would experience sudden changes.

All Amemiya could do was to keep moving forward. After putting on the black cloak, Amemiya decided that in order to improve his proficiency in controlling spirit particles, he would try to use the power of the Quincy before purifying the Hollow, and finally purify the Hollow with his Zanpakutō.

On the telephone pole, Amemiya took out the Quincy Cross that he had received from Ishida Ryugen, held it high, and looked at the cross that reflected silver light under the moonlight. He suddenly clenched the cross and left.

Late at night, Amemiya came to a secluded place, sat cross-kneed, and planned to continue the true name release of his Zanpakutō. Even though he knew that he had a high probability of not being able to defeat his Zanpakutō, he still wanted to try.

As his consciousness sank, Amamiya returned to his own inner world again.

"Oh? Did your contact with Ishida Ryugen give you confidence? But isn't it a bit irrational for you to rush to find me after only learning Quincy knowledge for a short while?" The black-haired and white-robed boy said with a smile.

Amemiya looked at him and found that the black-haired and white-robed boy was a little strange today. At the edge of his white robe, there was a faint black substance flowing, which seemed to cover the white robe he was wearing. However, Amemiya did not think much about it, he just wanted to fight with his Zanpakutō and quickly get familiar with his moves.

"I don't expect to tame you today, I'm just preparing for the future." Amemiya said.

"Hehe, well then, come on, I'll accompany you to the end." The black-haired and white-robed young man quickly formed a spiritual bow in his hand and shot out an arrow.

Amemiya Toya relied on the spirit particles to control the spirit bow. Without slowing down his movements, he gathered the spirit particles into arrows and shot them at him.

Because of his further understanding of the nature of the Quincy's power, the Quincy arrow shot by Amemiya at this moment was even more powerful. When it collided with the arrow of the black-haired boy, it easily shattered his arrow and rushed towards the black-haired boy.

"What..." Amemiya was surprised by himself. This scene was so similar to the previous exchange with Ishida Ryugen, where the opponent's arrow easily pierced his arrow. But this time, he was better at the exchange with the Zanpakutō.

The black-haired boy dodged the arrow by tilting his head, and said with a smile: "Nothing to be surprised about. This is your spiritual space. If you have a deeper understanding of the nature of power, it will also be manifested here. After all, this place is not as cruel as reality."

Amemiya looked at the other person, not understanding why he was so generous in revealing this information to him.

"Are you surprised? Because, since you truly understand the essence of the Quincy's power, then I can do it too." He said with a smile, and began to gather spirit particles in his hand, forming a divine arrow of Quincy that shot towards Amemiya.

Amemiya also performed the same operation. Sure enough, this time the two arrows were annihilated at the same time after colliding, and neither side was superior to the other.
