Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

In addition to the Ghost Path skill reward, there is also 1000 general experience points.

In addition, the settlement reward for Cilantro Mochi's sword skill training mission is 5000 universal experience points, bringing the total to 6000 universal experience points.

July's current spiritual pressure level is 52. It takes 2000 experience points to increase one level. All 6000 general experience points will be invested in increasing spiritual pressure.

His spiritual pressure increased by 3 levels, from level 52 to level 55.

"Then please guide me in swordsmanship training, Master!" Kensei Rokusha was overjoyed.

"Oh? Then I'm the only one left who still has to practice the basics," Hirako Shinji said helplessly.

"What are you afraid of? Kana and I still need to practice sailfish shojin," Kensei said, patting Mako on the shoulder.

“Alright, you will begin your swordsmanship training today,” July said to Kensei.

[The current training task has been added: Guide Kensei Rokusha through a sword technique training (in progress)]

As predicted in July, Kensei Muguruma's new training mission was revealed.

However, before instructing Kensei, July wanted to try out the new sword techniques she had learned.

"I'll teach you later. I feel great now, I want to try out the sword." July walked to the human-shaped target, recalling her memories of training the "Breaking Waves" sword technique.

Seeing their teacher's actions, the three disciples held their breath and watched intently, afraid of missing a single exciting moment.

He held the sword with both hands, the blade tilted to the right and rear.

His spiritual pressure erupted instantly, and he slashed at the humanoid target with a dragging sword motion.

In that instant, the blade in July's hand vanished, replaced by a spray of water like ocean waves.

Waves of water crashed against the human-shaped target, instantly submerging it.

The spray quickly dissipated, revealing the human-shaped target.

The human-shaped target had broken into two pieces and had many small holes on it.

"Teacher, what's the name of this sword technique? It's so powerful!" Kana Mochi's eyes widened.

"Moreover, after the teacher slashed, it was impossible to tell where the blade was aimed." Hirako Shinji had been watching very carefully, but he couldn't see the blade's position at all. He only saw the water splashing on the human-shaped target and cutting it in half.

"I didn't see the blade either, I only saw some splashes of water..." Kensei Muguruma said.

"This move is called 'Wave Breaker,' a sword technique that incorporates elements of Kido. It requires extremely high skill in controlling spiritual pressure. I will teach you when you reach that level," July explained.

"Breaking Waves" is not only visually appealing, but also incredibly powerful. The three of them were deeply moved after seeing it and longed to learn the technique immediately. Unfortunately, their spiritual pressure control skills were only at a basic level and they had not yet reached the standard to learn the technique.

In July, they retrieved the straw mats and had Rokusha Kensei practice cutting the straw mats with a wooden sword.

“Kenshi, you need to use an unsharpened wooden sword to cut the standing mat in half,” July said.

Kensei had seen Coriander practice cutting grass mats with a wooden sword, and knew that this was not easy to do, so he naturally did not underestimate it and practiced it seriously.

Hirako Shinji also diligently practiced the basics of swordsmanship, hoping to advance to the next stage of training as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Cilantro continued practicing piercing the human-shaped target with "instant strike," though she had only just begun to learn it.

The process of attaching spiritual pressure to the blade and charging up takes her nearly ten seconds, far from being usable in actual combat. She needs to practice this technique until she can use it in real battles.

...

Shikamori Nanatsuki arrived in front of Kotetsu's residence.

After knocking on the door, a moment later, a cute little girl with a round face peeked out.

The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old and had silver hair.

As she tilted her head, a lively silver ponytail slid down.

"Excuse me, who are you...?" the round-faced little girl asked timidly.

In July, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and a semi-transparent panel appeared in his field of vision.

【Kotetsu Yuuyin】

[Talent: S]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv8]

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

[Status: Full of energy (Who is he...?)]

This is an "acquaintance," but only one side of him is "familiar."

Kotetsu Isane is the daughter of Dean Kotetsu and is a Shinigami with the potential to succeed as the captain of the Fourth Division in the future.

As expected of the future captain of the fourth division, his spiritual pressure is already stronger than his predecessor at such a young age.

"Hello, I am Shikatori Nanatsuki, a swordsmanship teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy. I have come to visit Dean Kotetsu." Nanatsuki smiled gently.

"Is this Mr. Shikatori?" The round-faced little girl opened the door completely. "Please come in."

In July, she took off her shoes in the entryway and followed the round-faced little girl into the house.

"Yongyin, who's here?"

Ayane Kotetsu walked out of the room at the end of the corridor, dressed in a plain white kimono, looking dignified and beautiful.

“So it’s you, Shikatori-kun. Please come with me.” Ayane Kotetsu turned to Isane Kotetsu. “Go and bring some tea and snacks to the tea room.”

In July, she followed Ayane Kotetsu to a tea room garden, where the two sat down at the tea table.

Ayane Kotetsu lit the iron pot and began to boil water.

Chapter 27 Kotetsu Isane's Home Tutor

Kotetsu Ayane knelt before the tea table, boiling water and rinsing the tea leaves. Her movements were fluid and graceful, a sight to behold.

Kotetsu Ayane poured the brewed tea into the fairness cup to make the tea evenly, and then poured it into two teacups: "Shikatori-kun, please have some tea."

"Thank you." July took the teacup.

Kotetsu Isane carried a plate of sliced ​​fruit into the tea room, placed it in front of Shikatori Nanatsuki, and then sat down next to her mother.

“Shikatori-kun, this is the daughter I want you to mentor. Isane is now at the age where she should be building a foundation, and I hope Shikatori-kun can help her with that.” Kotetsu Ayane said with a smile.

He came over today because Ayane Kotetsu invited him to be his daughter Isane's tutor.

"Please rest assured, Dean Kotetsu, I will give Yuon proper guidance." July first smelled the aroma of the tea, then carefully tasted the tea soup.

Kotetsu Isane is a very good candidate for apprentice, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. There aren't any apprentice slots available yet, so he can build a good relationship with Kotetsu Isane first, and then take him on as an apprentice when there are more slots available later.

"Yane, from now on you will be training with Shikatori-sensei," said Kotetsu Ayane.

Kotetsu Isane was a little reserved. She quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Shikatori-sensei, please take good care of me."

"Yongyin, there's no need for such formalities. I will help you lay a solid foundation," July said with a smile.

“Shikatori-kun is currently teaching Murata-sensei’s class and a swordsmanship training class, so he has a heavy workload. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m not very good at teaching swordsmanship, I really wouldn’t want to trouble you,” said Kotetsu Ayane.

“Now that the Shikato Dojo has reopened, I took three talented students from my class as my disciples. Teaching one more student like Yuune won’t be a problem,” July said.

"There are actually three students with good talent? I remember that most of the students in Shikatori-kun's class were born in Rukongai, right?" Kotetsu Ayane was a little surprised; this situation was truly rare.

“Apart from one who is from the Mole City family, the other two disciples were born in Rukongai,” July said.

"That's wonderful news! The Shikatori Dojo will have some fresh blood."

Ayane Kotetsu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Shikato-kun might have a chance to compete for the position of Swordsmanship Club President. President Asido will soon be returning to the team to participate in the Hueco Mundo Expedition, at which time the position of Swordsmanship Club President will be vacant."

"The head of the swordsmanship club? I've heard about it, but I'm just a newly hired teacher. Am I qualified to compete for the position of head of the swordsmanship club?" July asked.

Ayane Kotetsu said, "The head of the swordsmanship club is also responsible for teaching the advanced swordsmanship classes, so teachers with good teaching performance will be selected to serve as head of the club."

"After Asido returned to the team, the most qualified person to serve as the captain of the fencing club is Mr. Murata. However, Mr. Murata is getting old and suddenly fell ill. Given his current physical condition, he will probably have to take a break from the team."

"Teacher Duanmu has a wealth of teaching experience, but he is somewhat lazy and lacks teaching ability. It is too much of a stretch for him to be in charge of the swordsmanship training class."

"So in reality, Shikatori's only competitor is Tsuna Yayo, who is also a swordsmanship teacher who just joined this year."

"If the students in Shikatori's class can achieve good results in this year's and next year's assessments."

"In addition, Shikato-kun has taken over the teaching of Murata-sensei's class and the advanced swordsmanship class. If you do well in the graduation exam of this class, it will greatly help you in your bid for the position of captain of the swordsmanship club."

July asked, "So, is the evaluation criterion based on the overall student performance, or on the performance of the top-ranked students?"

Ayane Kotetsu said, "Both the class's overall grades and individual rankings will be included in the assessment, but the latter will have a higher weight."

The Shinigami Academy is not a school for academic education in the future world, but a place for training Shinigami, and it places more emphasis on the training of high-end combat power.

After thinking about it in July, he realized that if individual student rankings were given more weight, his chances of winning would be quite good.

He had great confidence in his three disciples.

Although many students born in Seireitei gathered in that teacher's class, the three disciples of July were exceptionally talented and were able to stand out among the students in this class under his guidance.

After chatting for a while, July guided Yongyin in basic training in the courtyard.

In July, it was discovered that Yongyin's personality was very different from that of the other disciples. He was rather reserved and serious, doing things exactly as he was told, and rarely asking questions if he had any doubts.

Kotetsu Ayane didn't disturb the two of them, but instead went to cook herself. She chose to call Nana over instead of taking her daughter to the dojo, also to treat Nana to a meal as a way of expressing her gratitude.

...

the next day.

Today in July, I need to teach a class of students in the advanced swordsmanship course.

"Shihouin-kun, I didn't expect you to be interested in kendo." July was somewhat surprised to see Shihouin Yoruichi in the swordsmanship training class.

"Not really. I'm not really interested in kendo, but if I were to take a course on Shunpo or Hakuda, it would be a waste of time." Yoruichi Shihouin shrugged. "I just chose the less boring course among kendo, devil's way, and kendo."

Yoruichi Shihouin is very talented in Shunpo and Hakuda, and has already reached a high level, even surpassing the ordinary members of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13. Under these circumstances, the Shunpo and Hakuda training courses at the Spirit Arts Academy are no longer of much use to her.

"Shihouin is really direct, actually saying to the swordsmanship teacher that he has no interest in kendo and even categorizing kendo as a boring course," Nanatsuki said with a light laugh.

"Although I'm not very interested, I'll study hard. After all, as a Shinigami, a Zanpakuto is quite important." Yoruichi Shihouin waved her hand.

Upon hearing her words, July couldn't help but recall that she seemed to have no recollection of Yoruichi Shihouin's future Zanpakuto.

The future "Shunjin Yoruichi" completely abandons the Zanpakuto in her fighting style.

This year's swordsmanship training class also has fifteen students, and all of them have arrived.

"Hello everyone, some of you have already met me, but some of you are taking my class for the first time. Let me introduce myself first..." July introduced himself, as this was his first time teaching a swordsmanship advanced class.

After introducing themselves in July, they conducted a preliminary assessment of the students' swordsmanship, mainly to see if they had a basic grasp of spiritual pressure control techniques and could apply these techniques in actual combat.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Kana Mochi and Kensei Muguruma were able to grasp the basics of spiritual pressure control in such a short time. It's because they have high talent, coupled with the special Sailfish Spirit Training Method, that they were able to grasp the basics of spiritual pressure control in such a short time.

After some investigation, it was found that only one-third of the students had a basic grasp of spiritual pressure control techniques.

In July, these students in the continuing education program were then taught separately.

Those who haven't yet mastered spiritual pressure control techniques continue their training, while others correct their mistakes and shortcomings through sparring.
