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

If we miss out on a player as talented as Aizen this time, we don't know how much he will have grown by the time we see him again.

Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively, and take Aizen to the dojo first!

Aizen Sousuke was deeply shocked when he heard what Nanatsu said.

The young man ultimately couldn't maintain his composure, and his expression changed slightly.

He believed he had done a good job of concealing his spiritual pressure, having tested it multiple times in front of formal Shinigami without anyone being able to detect it.

However, now he has been discovered by the Grim Reaper in front of him!

It seems that the other party's level has far exceeded his imagination; the two are no longer on the same level!

If this Grim Reaper is the one who bestowed the "Divine Sword" upon Kato, then he too cannot escape the fate of feeding the "Divine Sword"!

A strong sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

"Are you that nervous? Your back is practically soaked with sweat," July chuckled.

Aizen Sousuke was silent for a moment, then said directly, "Lord Shikari, did you come to see me?"

There's no way to escape directly, so it's better to comply with them first and then find an opportunity to escape.

"Yes, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a perfect candidate for sword training. If you hadn't come back to the dojo with me, I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight. I'm really excited to have you, Aizen-kun!" July said with a smile, no longer hiding her true intentions.

He wasn't originally looking for Aizen, but he is now.

"..."

Aizen Sousuke took a deep breath. He couldn't verify the truthfulness of the other person's words, but since they had gone this far, he had no choice but to go with them.

"Lord Shikatori, it is my honor to receive your guidance."

"Call me teacher."

"teacher."

Aizen Sousuke readily accepted the good advice.

Chapter 69 Is this a legitimate dojo?

Aizen Sousuke still finds last night's experience unbelievable.

He originally thought he might be taken to a relatively secluded place and trained to become a high-ranking nobleman's assassin.

Or, like Kato, he might acquire a "divine sword" that requires him to feed it with his own flesh and blood and spiritual energy.

To his surprise, Shikagiri Nanatsuki led him to a seemingly ordinary dojo.

He confirmed that there were no guards in the dojo.

At least that's what it seems on the surface.

It's also possible that there are guards here, but they are too strong to be detected by him.

If that's the case, then his chances of escaping are extremely slim.

He didn't yet possess the ability to escape under the watchful eyes of such a powerful figure, especially now that the other party's attention was focused on him.

But as the sun rose and more and more people gathered in the dojo, he began to feel that something was wrong.

This really is a kendo dojo!

Those who come here to practice swordsmanship don't seem to be official Grim Reapers.

Aizen Sousuke looked around and, seeing that Shikari Shichizuki was not in the courtyard, decided to take the opportunity to test someone.

He immediately spotted the most suitable target, approached the silver-haired girl who was practicing her sword, and said in a very sincere tone, "Miss, may I have a moment of your time?"

"This is my first time at the dojo, and I'm not very familiar with the rules here."

"Ah, hello..." Kotetsu Isane was startled by the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar voice. She quickly put away her wooden sword and replied politely, "Are you a new disciple of the master? Please feel free to ask if you have any questions."

"Thank you very much. I am Aizen Sousuke."

"It's alright, I am Kotetsu Isane."

When Aizen Sousuke saw her reserved and serious demeanor, he was immediately certain that, as he had expected, this girl was an honest child.

“Shikatori… Master left in a hurry and didn’t tell me many things. If Miss Kotetsu could tell me about this dojo, that would be wonderful. By the way, are all the people practicing swordsmanship here Master’s disciples?” Aizen Sousuke said with a smile.

"It seems that the teacher has a kendo training class to teach today, so he must have gone to class. Everyone who stayed in the dojo to practice is also the teacher's disciple," Kotetsu Isane answered honestly.

A class? A Kendo training course?

Aizen Sousuke had a sudden thought. He hadn't heard of this term before, so he continued to ask, "What is a kendo training course? I'm sorry, I'm from the Inugami Ward, and I don't know much about this. Could you tell me about it?"

Kotetsu Isane said, "The Kendo training course is a continuing education course at the Shinigami Academy. Starting from the sixth-year students, students can choose their own continuing education course based on their previous performance and undergo a year of intensive training."

Aizen Sousuke was slightly taken aback. Shikari Nanatsuki was a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy?

Could it be that... Shikagiri Nanatsuki really has taken a liking to his talent and wants to take him on as a disciple?

Is this really a proper kendo dojo?

Aizen Sousuke noticed a woman in white walking out of the house. He initially thought she was also there to practice her swordsmanship, but after carefully sensing her presence, he discovered that he couldn't sense her spiritual pressure.

Another strong person!

It was definitely a wise choice not to run away immediately; perhaps this woman was there to monitor him!

He had considered the possibility beforehand that these students practicing swordsmanship were all like him, forcibly brought back.

If that's the case, we could take advantage of it. With a little provocation, we could create chaos and give ourselves a chance to escape.

"Who is that person sitting on the edge of the roof? They look very different." Aizen Sousuke pointed to the white-clad woman washing teacups.

Kotetsu Isane turned his head to look at the person below the eaves and said, "That's my teacher's older sister. You are my teacher's disciple, so you can call her Grandmaster, because she can also be considered my teacher's teacher."

Aizen Sousuke probed indirectly, "I see. If Grandmaster could teach a strong person like Master, then Grandmaster must have been an extremely powerful Shinigami?"

Kotetsu Isane said proudly, "Of course! Our master was the first captain!"

Aizen Sousuke was startled.

This woman in white is actually the first captain!

He was aware of the captain's position within the Grim Reaper organization.

In his understanding, nobles and death seemed to be different groups, although there was some overlap between them at times.

But in general, the captain is the one who leads Death.

Aizen Sousuke felt that there might have been some misunderstanding with Shikari Nanatsu last night.

You can't exactly say that this Grim Reaper captain is here to monitor you, can you?

He was very self-aware; he knew he wasn't qualified and needed a captain to monitor him.

However, what he didn't know was—

Ba Yunzhai was indeed there to "monitor" him!

Before going to class in July, I asked Bayunzhai to keep a close eye on Aizen and not let the kid get away!

Because after Aizen was brought back in July, his reputation level dropped to "hostile"!

He was too hasty, bringing Aizen back before gaining his trust.

But there's no way around it; a genius like Aizen, a supermodel, might no longer need a teacher's guidance the next time they meet.

July must consider this; it may be the only chance he ever has to take Aizen as his apprentice!

Not wanting to miss out on this great opportunity, he decided to bring Aizen back first.

You can take on apprentices first and then gradually build a relationship with them.

The key point is that the system also recognizes this method of accepting apprentices. Accepting apprentices requires the other party's consent, and Aizen also "agreed" to it.

The system's approval criteria only require verbal agreement.

Therefore, Aizen became the first disciple in July to have a reputation level of "hostile".

However, the July apprenticeship reward has not yet arrived because the disciple's reputation level is too low to claim it temporarily.

"Hey, are you the teacher's new disciple?" a roguish voice rang out.

Aizen Sousuke snapped out of his daze and turned to look. The speaker was a boy with long blond hair.

"I am Aizen Sousuke, and I am my master's newly accepted disciple," Aizen Sousuke introduced himself.

Hirako Shinji raised an eyebrow. For some reason, the smile of the person in front of him made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

However, considering that this was a junior disciple who had just started learning, he forcibly suppressed his displeasure and said:

"I am Hirako Shinji. I overheard your conversation just now. Are you from the Xudiao District?"

"I've been to the Xudiao District too. It's really not easy to survive there."

Aizen Sousuke chuckled, "The environment in the Inugami Ward is indeed rather poor, so it's an honor to meet you, sir."

Hirako Shinji nodded: "Teacher might be back quite late today. You probably haven't had any systematic sword training, so I'll teach you some basic stances. Start practicing from there."

"Grateful."

"you are too polite."

Chapter 70 Aizen's Information

In the evening, when July returned, she brought a lot of ingredients and cooked a big meal to celebrate taking in two new disciples.

"If only the teacher could receive disciples every day!" Cilantro Mochi's cheeks bulged out, like a hamster hiding food.

After tasting the food, Mochishiro Shuang's eyes lit up. He finally understood why his sister hadn't been coming home for meals much since she came to the dojo.

Although he wasn't a glutton, he could still tell that it was a rare delicacy.

"Teacher's cooking skills are even better than those of chefs who prepare banquets!" Zhicheng Shuang exclaimed in amazement.

Looking at this harmonious atmosphere, Aizen Sousuke couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.

After a day of conversation, he had gathered a lot of information and naturally realized that there were no shady things here, just a proper kendo dojo.

The students here are not restricted in their freedom; they go to school when they are supposed to, and go home when they are supposed to. There are also a few who regularly live at the temple.

After clarifying the situation, Aizen Sousuke did not rush to leave.

After all, he originally planned to develop steadily in a higher-ranked area of ​​Rukongai for a period of time.

My spiritual pressure has been increasing rapidly lately, and I need a lot of food to nourish my body.

Only areas with high rankings and abundant resources have the opportunity to obtain large quantities of food.

This region looks peaceful and resource-rich.

Moreover, the instructors at this dojo are of a very high standard, and the first captain is also in charge, making it a very suitable place for steady development.

Just then, July received a notification.

[Aizen Sousuke's reputation level has increased; his current reputation level is "Indifferent"]

You need to reach the Friendly reputation level before you can receive feedback from disciples.

Indifference is a level between hostility and unfamiliarity. If it weren't for taking Aizen as a disciple, July would never have seen this reputation level.

July's mind was made up; it seemed that Aizen had given up the idea of ​​leaving.

It seems we should get them to the dojo first; reputation can be improved later.

"Sousuke, are you settling in well here?" July paused and said, "I'm sorry, I was rushing to the Spirit Arts Academy this morning and didn't get a chance to show you around properly."

"It's a nice place. Everyone here is very kind and patiently answered my questions. Mako even taught me some sword stances," Aizen Sousuke said with a light smile.

"That's good. If you need anything, just tell me. Since you're not a student of the Spirit Arts Academy and don't have a place to stay in the outer district, you can stay at the dojo. We don't have many people at the dojo, so we have plenty of rooms," July said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, I'm so glad I met you, teacher."

"I hope you can adapt to life here. I'll start teaching you swordsmanship tomorrow. Besides swordsmanship, is there anything else you'd like to learn?"

"I will learn whatever the teacher thinks should be taught. I have limited knowledge, and I believe that the teacher's judgment is the most correct."

"Then learn the Chopping Fist and Ghost Walking Techniques. Before going to the Spirit Arts Academy, lay a solid foundation in all aspects."
