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

This requires a thorough understanding of both the False Poison and her strength to make such a judgment.

"What?!" Minister Yamada was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief, "This demonstration experiment used 'Wastod'-class ethereal poison?!"

Minister Yamada never imagined that the Hollow Poison Unohana used for the demonstration experiment was actually from a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow.

Vastod-class Hollows are the top-tier Hollows, even stronger than some young captains. Voluntarily injecting Vastod-class Hollow poison is tantamount to suicide.

"The kind of illusory poison I originally prepared wasn't this kind..."

Unohana frowned.

She wouldn't forget or put it in the wrong place.

The current incident is undoubtedly due to someone switching the poison!

"This... but I can't remove the 'Vastod' level of ethereal poison either, what should I do!" Minister Yamada suddenly felt sweating profusely.

Unohana reached for her Zanpakuto with her right hand; in this situation, only the Zanpakuto's power could solve the problem.

"Captain Unohana, let me handle this," July suddenly said.

Unohana paused slightly as she reached for her Zanpakuto.

"Shikatori-sensei, please don't cause trouble at a time like this!" Yamada-sama felt like his high blood pressure was about to flare up. The Fourth Division Captain might die in the Spirit Arts Academy, and this swordsmanship club teacher was making a joke.

"How about we notify the other team leaders and see if there's any way?" Teacher Lin suggested.

"Shikatori-kun... are you serious?" Unohana frowned.

"In order to heal the spiritual pressure core of Baiyunzhai, I have been persisting in learning the Dao of Return!" July said earnestly. "I can handle 'Vastow' level ethereal poison."

July felt this was a great opportunity to showcase his Taoist skills. If he could handle the venomous poison, he might have the chance to lead a Taoist advanced training class in the future.

“Shikatori-kun, I can suppress the poison for another twenty minutes, but you only have twenty minutes.” Unohana chose to give Nanatsu a chance to try.

According to her understanding, July was not a reckless person.

If he really can't cure it, then it's not too late to use the Zanpakuto.

"Captain Unohana, you're letting him mess around like this! This is a 'Vastod' level poison, we can't waste any more time!" Department Head Yamada was at his wits' end. He hadn't expected that Unohana, who was on the verge of death, would have a swordsmanship club teacher who had only been studying the Dao for a few years treat her.

"Don't worry, if Shikatori-kun fails to remove the poison, I have a backup plan," Unohana said slowly.

Unohana's words reassured everyone present, who watched Shikatori Nanatsuki's next move quietly, wanting to see what kind of ability this Shikatori teacher from the swordsmanship club had that made Unohana so indulgent towards him.

The classroom for the advanced training course was equipped with an operating table and other instruments, and Unohana lay down directly on the operating table.

In July, she picked up the scalpel, and a layer of spiritual energy quickly coated its surface.

The Void Poison is transformed from the Void Spirit Particles and is essentially a substance composed of Spirit Particles. Once the Void Poison begins to erode the Grim Reaper's body, it will devour the Grim Reaper's own Spirit Particles and continue to grow stronger.

July now needs to remove the illusory poison spirit from the body of the flower.

The scalpel sliced ​​open Unohana's skin, and black blood flowed from the wound. This black blood dripped onto the operating table, instantly corroding a hole.

Fortunately, the classrooms for the advanced training course were on the first floor; otherwise, if the blood containing the poison had dripped onto the students or teachers, it probably would have killed them very quickly.

After the cutting was completed in July, the spiritual particles on the surface of the scalpel were immediately removed and replaced with a new layer of spiritual particles. The spiritual particles that had come into contact with the illusory poison were quickly assimilated by the illusory poison. Similar operations had to be performed frequently throughout the treatment process.

In July, while receiving treatment, the ethereal poison particles were separated, and black pus and blood flowed continuously from the wound.

If the level of Dao Return is insufficient, the speed of Dao Return healing may not be as fast as the speed of assimilating spiritual particles with illusory poison when performing this step.

The students couldn't figure out the trick, but they felt that July's operation was smooth and pleasing to the eye, which matched their impression of a master of the Dao.

But the other teachers in the Returning to the Way Department were different; they understood very well how terrifying July's Returning to the Way level was.

Minister Yamada's expression changed drastically, from doubt to seriousness, from seriousness to disbelief, and then from disbelief to utter horror.

As he read on, he began to question his own existence. This new swordsmanship teacher was actually more skilled than him!

This person has gone to the wrong department!

With this level of skill, why would you go teach swordsmanship in the swordsmanship department?!

Chapter 31 Returning to the Master

Under Shikatori Nanatsuki's skillful manipulation, the poison was continuously separated and expelled, and Unohana's arm was rapidly recovering.

After the poison was extracted, the skin on her arm gradually returned to its original white and jade-like appearance.

Despite being a master swordsman, Unohana has no calluses on her hands.

July held Unohana's hand, feeling almost no warmth; it felt like holding a piece of smooth, round, cold jade.

In the end, July successfully removed the "Vastod" level venom from Unohana's body.

"Shikatori-sensei... really... solved the 'Wastod' level Void Poison!"

The students in the advanced training class were immediately amazed. Although they did not actually understand July's operation, seeing that the extracted venom could directly corrode and penetrate the operating table gave them a real impression of the venom's power.

A swordsmanship teacher solved a problem that the other teachers couldn't solve, much to the students' surprise.

The teachers in the Kyoudo club couldn't understand why this new teacher, Shikatori, with such a high level of Kyoudo skills, would go to teach swordsmanship in the swordsmanship club.

Minister Yamada was very ashamed. He had previously questioned such a powerful master of the return path, but Shikatoshi Nanatsuki's display of return path skills made him feel utterly ashamed.

“Shikatori-kun, it seems I misjudged you; I didn’t even notice you, this ‘genius of the return path,’” Unohana said in surprise.

Unohana was also shocked by the response that Shikamori Nanatsuki showed.

Shikagori Nanatsuki's level of skill is already very close to hers!

She learned Shikagiri Nanatsuki's reply style from her, so she naturally knew very well what Shikagiri Nanatsuki's reply style was like a few years ago.

His current ability to return to the Dao is progressing at an astonishing pace; he can definitely be called a genius at returning to the Dao!

Unohana really wants to bring Shikamori Nanatsuki back to be her vice-captain.

The position of vice-captain of the Fourth Division is currently vacant, and the current seated officers' talent for the Dao is somewhat mediocre. That's why Unohana thought of coming to the Dao training class to see if there are any promising talents she can take back and train.

"In order to heal the spiritual pressure core of Baiyunzhai, I have been working hard to cultivate the Dao of Return." July was not lying; he had never given up learning the Dao of Return.

"Yay! Shikato-kun's performance is really captivating. Why don't you come back to the Fourth Division with me now and become my vice-captain?" Unohana said with a smile.

Even Unohana wants to compete with Hakunsai for the mantle of successor. Shikatori Nanatsuki has excellent kendo and kawado talents, which can perfectly match her abilities. There are few Shinigami like her in the entire Soul Society.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Captain Unohana, but my strength is not yet sufficient to serve as the vice-captain. Besides, I really enjoy teaching at the Spirit Arts Academy. The students of the Spirit Arts Academy are the future of Soul Society. It is very fulfilling to be able to impart knowledge and skills to them here. I really enjoy this teaching job," July replied.

Although the position of vice-captain was very tempting, July was not willing to give up the opportunity to teach at the Spirit Arts Academy for the sake of a vice-captain position, which was the key to his continued growth.

Unohana was slightly taken aback; she sensed sincerity from Nanatsu.

The students and teachers present were also moved by July. He actually gave up the opportunity to be the vice-captain of the Fourth Division for the sake of teaching. How much he loves his job!

"That's such a shame..." Unohana gave up for the time being, planning to find another opportunity to poach her later.

“However… I feel that the toxins in my body have been completely eliminated. When do you plan to let go of my hand, Shikato-kun?” Unohana said with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, holding the hand of the first Kenpachi like this would be tantamount to suicide.

"Ah... I just forgot while we were chatting..." July felt a chill and could only reluctantly let go of the beauty's hand.

"Shikatori-sensei, I never expected your kaku skills to be so amazing. I was blind and offended you before. Please, you must transfer to the kaku club! I will be taking a break from the team in a few years. If Shikatori-sensei were in the kaku club, I believe you would soon become the club president!" President Yamada knew that he could not take advantage of such a genius. In order to make up for his previous mistake, he even used polite language, disregarding that he was much older than Shichigatsuki.

"Yes, Mr. Shikatori's skill level is so high, it's a waste of his talent to be in the swordsmanship club," Mr. Kobayashi remarked.

"You flatter me. I think the swordsmanship club is quite suitable for me." July is currently teaching the advanced swordsmanship class and the sixth-year students' class. Before taking Yoruichi Shihouin as his apprentice, he doesn't want to give up the teaching opportunity for this class.

"This...it's such a waste of your talent to stay in the swordsmanship club!" said President Yamada.

"Captain Yamada, Shikatori-kun's swordsmanship is also quite good. It's not a waste of his talent to be in the swordsmanship club," Unohana said.

"The swordsmanship club is really lucky to have recruited a teacher like Mr. Shikatori." Upon hearing this, Captain Yamada did not insist.

"That concludes today's lecture," Unohana said.

She needs to go back and investigate this matter; the "Vastod" level ethereal poison wasn't the teaching aid she had prepared.

She had prepared the poison herself last week, yet this unexpected situation occurred today.

Moreover, this bottle of illusory poison is stored in the Fourth Division's storage room, and no outsiders are allowed to enter except for members of the Fourth Division.

She needs to go back and investigate thoroughly; perhaps there's a traitor in the Fourth Division.

After the lecture, July also left.

Before leaving, Unohana said to Nanatsu again, "Shikatori-kun, until a more suitable candidate is found, the position of vice-captain of the Fourth Division will be reserved for you. If you ever decide you don't want to teach anymore, the Fourth Division will welcome you."

Department Head Yamada also said, "The same goes for the Return Club. If Mr. Shikatori is willing to transfer to the Return Club, I will definitely recommend you as the next head of the Return Club!"

July said, "Thank you for your kind words, but I don't want to leave the kendo club for the time being."

After thinking for a moment, Department Head Yamada said, "I wonder if Professor Shikatori has the time? I would like to invite Professor Shikatori to give a lecture at the Path of Return Training Class. Our Path of Return Department occasionally invites Path of Return experts from the Fourth Division to give lectures to the students. Professor Shikatori's Path of Return is so high, I really hope to invite you to give a lecture on Path of Return!"

In July, a thought struck him: giving a lecture to the Return to the Path training class might trigger the class's first-teaching reward. He had already gained a considerable reward from the first-teaching reward in the swordsmanship training class, and giving a lecture to the Return to the Path training class might also trigger the first-teaching reward, making it worth a try.

July agreed: "President Yamada, please make the arrangements. I'd be happy to share my knowledge of returning to the temple with the students."

"Then the students in the advanced training program are in luck!" Department Head Yamada said with a smile. "I will make proper arrangements to avoid any conflicts with Professor Shikatori's class schedule."

After the group left, Ms. Kobayashi looked on with admiration: "Shikatori-sensei is amazing! Captain Unohana and Captain Yamada both think highly of him!"

Chapter 32 The Fourth Disciple

Shikatori returned to the dojo in July, where his disciples were diligently practicing.

Kotetsu Isane also came to the Shikatori Dojo for training.

That July, I went to Kotetsu's residence mainly because Director Kotetsu wanted to treat me to a meal, and I tried out Director Kotetsu's cooking that evening.

After that, there was no need to personally go to Kotetsu Isane's house to teach her anymore, since the Nanatsu family had a dojo, and she could directly come to the dojo to train.

"Isane, your slashing posture was wrong just now. You need to use your wrist. If you just swing your arm, your sword will be weak and feeble." Kana Azashiro kindly corrected Isane Kotetsu's mistake.

"Yes!" Kotetsu Isane nodded seriously.

"Oh, don't be so reserved. I think you're too nervous." Kana Azashiro patted Isane Kotetsu on the shoulder.

"Yongyin, are you settling in well at the dojo? Have they been bullying you?" July asked with a smile.

"Shikatori-sensei." Kotetsu Isane quickly sheathed her wooden sword and bowed. "It's very nice here, everyone has been very kind to me!"

"Just make sure you feel at home here, Yuune." July felt that Kotetsu Yuune didn't seem to have integrated into the group yet. Remembering that Director Kotetsu had mentioned that he was often away from home, Yuune would probably cook for herself when she went back, so she said, "Stay for dinner tonight and try my cooking."

"That would be too much trouble for Shikatori-sensei," Kotetsu Isane said, feeling a little embarrassed about staying for a free meal.

"Yune must try Teacher's cooking. If the Gotei 13 were ranked according to cooking skills, Teacher would definitely be the Captain-Commander!" Kana Mochishiro arbitrarily assigned her teacher the position of Captain-Commander.

"Yune, why don't you stay for dinner? It'll be late when you get back, and little Kiyone will be hungry then~" Bayunzai was teasing a blonde girl who looked a few years old in the courtyard. That was Kotetsu Yuune's younger sister, Kotetsu Kiyone.

Dean Kotetsu is very busy with work and is often not at home. Kotetsu Isane also has to take care of her younger sister. When she came to train, she brought her sister with her.

Kotetsu Isane, thinking that his younger sister would go hungry, bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Shikatori-sensei!"

"Yongyin, you don't need to be so polite. Honestly, isn't Ayane usually too strict with you?" Baiyunzhai complained.

Sweating profusely, Hirako Shinji put down his sword and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, I successfully lasted an hour today!"

At that moment, a message flashed in July's eyes.

[Disciple Hirako Shinji's daily practice has ended; rewards have been calculated.]

[Reward: 20 Swordsmanship Experience Points]

[Your disciple, Hirako Shinji, has made initial progress in spiritual pressure control techniques. You have received an additional reward.]

[Gain 1000 swordsmanship experience points]

[Disciple Mole City Coriander's daily practice has ended; rewards have been calculated.]

[Reward: 60 Swordsmanship Experience Points]

[Disciple Rokuche Kensei's daily practice has ended, and rewards have been calculated.]

[Reward: 40 Swordsmanship Experience Points]

The disciples' cultivation feedback rewards have arrived.

Moreover, in July, he discovered that as long as his disciples were carrying out the cultivation tasks he assigned, they would receive daily rewards even if he was not in their presence to provide guidance.

In July, he glanced at his stats and saw that his swordsmanship level had increased from 54 to 55.

Furthermore, Hirako Shinji's training mission has been updated. He is learning the basics of swordsmanship faster than Rokusha Kensei, and he has already completed the basics of swordsmanship training.
