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

The Zhicheng family had a strong growth momentum over the past century and could leverage considerable power, yet they were imprisoned within days.

Fortunately, we still have one trump card left in July.

During this time, he used his shadow to monitor the Kasumi family and discovered that they had records of the successfully forged tapir swords.

He also happened to know where the Xia Dalu family kept their archives.

If we can find the records, we can confirm that those swords were made by the Kasumi family.

...

A few days later, Kyoraku Shunsui was finally free.

"Honestly, at your age, you still have such a strong grip. My shoulder still hurts!" Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his shoulder.

After leaving the first team, he couldn't wait to find a place to drink.

These past few days I've been "cultivating" with the old man in the mountains, and I can't even drink alcohol.

He was about to burst from holding it in.

"Captain of the Beijing Opera Band, we've finally waited for you."

The sudden sound startled Kyoraku Shunsui. He looked around but didn't see anyone.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the shadow in the corner was somewhat unusual.

Kyoraku Shunsui's hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

The shadows in the corner gradually faded, revealing the figure of Shikari Nanatsuki.

"Shikatori-kun? Is this your Zanpakuto ability?" Kyoraku Shunsui asked in surprise, looking at the fading shadows. "This ability is very well concealed; I didn't even notice it before..."

“My shadow can help me conceal my spiritual pressure,” July explained briefly, then continued, “Does Captain Kyoraku know about what’s been happening with the Azajo family lately?”

"I've been in the First Squad for the past few days and I'm not completely ignorant of anything. I do know about the Azashiro family... I never expected that the sword forging workshop we found would belong to the Azashiro family." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed somewhat. He remembered that one of his disciples in July was a child from the Azashiro family.

He heard that the Sixth and Tenth Divisions later found a lot of evidence of treason at the Azuma family mansion. Many of those evil swords called "Bakuya Swords" had been forged, and many of the Azuma family's guards and retainers were equipped with Bakuya Swords.

In addition, some letters provide sufficient evidence to show that the Mole City family is recruiting soldiers and plotting a rebellion.

“The Mole City family has been wronged. After my investigation these past few days, I’ve discovered that those knives were actually made by the Kasumi family,” July said.

"Hey, you can't just say things like that. Do you have any evidence?" Kyoraku Shunsui also felt something was amiss, mainly because the pace of this matter was unusual.

In the past, he had handled cases involving nobles, which he always tried to delay as long as possible.

Such a complex case would likely face numerous obstacles during the investigation.

The investigation will only proceed smoothly once someone is found to take the blame.

The situation with the Zhicheng family was quite strange. Within a few days, relevant evidence was found, the entire clan was imprisoned, and they were about to be sent to the "execution ground."

Clearly, a powerful force is driving this.

"Of course we have the evidence, but we have to go and get it ourselves."

She approached Kyoraku Shunsui in July because she was attracted by his identity.

Just because he produces a file doesn't mean he can claim it's from the Kasumi family and use it as evidence.

Archives can be forged.

He needed to find someone influential to act as a witness to gather evidence, and Kyoraku Shunsui, as the Captain-Commander's disciple and the current captain of the 8th Division, naturally had enough influence.

Chapter 76 A Night Stroll with Kyoraku Shunsui

Xia Da Road Residence —

Shikatoki and Kyoraku Shunsui stood on the roof of a tall building, their figures hidden in the darkness.

"Shikatori-kun, your Zanpakuto's ability to conceal itself is truly remarkable; no one discovered us along the way," Kyoraku Shunsui exclaimed once again.

He and July traveled as if they had stumbled into an uninhabited land.

But in reality, he saw many guards on the road and even discovered quite a few hidden agents.

However, no one discovered their whereabouts.

"The shadows only work effectively when we're operating under the cover of night. During the day, they're quite noticeable," July said modestly.

"That's impressive. No wonder you're so good at gathering information." Kyoraku Shunsui had been curious about how July managed to obtain so much intelligence, but now he finally understood how she did it.

"That's the building. The Xia Dalu family's records are stored on the second and third floors of this building," July said, pointing to a building on the right. "However, there's a demonic restriction placed on the place where the records are stored. If we want to get the records, we have to break the demonic restriction first, otherwise we'll definitely be discovered."

"That's troublesome. Honestly, I actually agreed to something like this. I'll probably be locked up by that old man for a while when I get back." Kyoraku Shunsui could already imagine the scene he was about to face, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Shikatri-kun, don't forget to buy me a drink after this is over!"

“That’s natural.” July observed the position of the moving guards and planned the next route in her mind.

After planning the route in July, he took Kyoraku Shunsui to the archives room.

The archives room on the second floor has more than a dozen rows of shelves for storing archives and books, and finding the archive you want is not an easy task.

Fortunately, I had scouted the location in July and knew where the files were stored.

July arrived at a row of scroll shelves on the inner side: "This is the row, but we need to break the ghost path restriction before we can go in."

After a moment, neither of the two people standing in front of the archives moved, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Shikatori-kun, you don't mean you want me to lift the Kido seal, do you?" Kyoraku Shunsui leaned back slightly. "I'm not good at these things..."

He had just observed that the ghostly restrictions here were extremely sophisticated, and he wasn't confident he could remove them without triggering them.

"...You're the captain, how come you can't even lift a ghostly restriction?!" July's face darkened. His ghostly cultivation level was only average, and he couldn't understand the ghostly restrictions here at all.

“I’m the captain of the 8th Division, not some great demon lord.” Kyoraku Shunsui rolled his eyes. “The demonic restrictions here are very complex, and not many captains can remove them without triggering an alarm.”

"This ghostly restriction mainly serves as a warning; we have no choice but to destroy it."

"Then there's nothing we can do..." July raised her Zanpakuto, lunged forward, and thrust forward in one fluid motion.

Shikatori Style: Instant Strike!

The "Instant Strike" technique at the Master level has been perfected, and the charging time has been shortened to the extreme, almost completing the charging in the blink of an eye.

—Thump! ! !

A dull thud echoed in the archives room.

The semi-transparent barrier that suddenly appeared in front of the file rack was instantly pierced with a hole, and the entire barrier quickly collapsed.

The next moment, the ghostly restriction emitted a piercing, unsettling screech.

buzzing-

"That's quite a commotion!" Kyoraku Shunsui drew his Zanpakuto. "They should be here soon."

In July, without saying much, he rushed to the archives shelf and began to look through the archives.

Just a few seconds later, the guards on the first floor of the records room came up.

They were all taken aback when they saw Kyoraku Shunsui's conspicuous pink haori jacket.

Of all the Gotei 13 squads, only one person was dressed like this!

The guards recognized Kyoraku Shunsui's identity even before they could see his face clearly under the straw hat.

They all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, yet no one dared to step forward.

With so few people, going up there would be suicide. As long as Kyoraku Shunsui doesn't seem to want to leave, we won't rush forward. We'll wait for our companions to come and help.

They blocked the entrance like that.

There were too many files on the file shelf. Even though July knew the approximate location of the file she was looking for, it took her several tens of seconds to find it.

Upon opening the archives in July, one would find them densely covered with records:

December 6 to March 8 —

Twenty blade blanks were placed in the scabbard area and forged into a Moyao Blade. Its ability is to allow the host's body to grow blades, which can then be used to launch blade attacks.

May 30 to September 6 —

Eleven blade blanks were placed in the withered flower area and forged into one Moyao Blade, which has the ability to control the ground and deform it.

October 12th to December 30th —

Six blade blanks were placed in the Grass Deer District, and one of them was forged into a Tapir Blade, which has the ability to control flames.

Tests have shown that using a sword blank forged with a soul possessing spiritual talent greatly increases the success rate of forging the Mo Yao Sword.

...

The densely packed records were shocking, and the forging success rate of the Tapir Blade was also alarmingly low.

In the beginning, the blade blanks were forged from dozens or even hundreds of ordinary souls.

Later, they began using souls with spiritual talent to forge sword blanks, which greatly improved the success rate.

The next step is to use souls with even better talent to forge the blade blank.

"Captain Kyoraku, I've found it!" July tossed the scroll to Kyoraku Shunsui.

He must review the documents; otherwise, they are invalid.

Kyoraku Shunsui took the document and, after flipping through it a few times, his expression changed drastically.

Just as Shikagiri Nanatsuki said, the Baku-yō-tō was indeed forged by the Kasumi Ōji family!

"This is truly shocking. We must hand this file over to Old Man Shan." Kyoraku Shunsui tucked the file into his sleeve, glanced at the growing number of guards, and sighed, "But it's not a good time to leave now."

"Then let's not leave, let someone else lead us!" July raised her hand and began to chant.

"...Hado #88: Flying Dragon Strike the Thief - Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!!!"

--boom! ! !

A powerful blue beam of light instantly pierced through the floors and rooftops, then tore the silent night sky in two.

Chapter 77 Multiple Dreams

The tranquility of the night was shattered by a blue beam of light that pierced the sky.

The patrol team's "death squad" quickly noticed the commotion and immediately reported the emergency, converging on the scene.

This is also the purpose of July.

He just wanted to make a big fuss, otherwise the case file might be suppressed by the 46th Chamber.

The case files contain too many cases, and the souls used to forge the sword are mostly from Rukongai.

The Kasumi family is also a member of the 46 Chambers. If this matter is exposed, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Shinigami born in Rukongai towards the 46 Chambers.

For the sake of the greater good, Room 46 might sacrifice themselves to protect the Kasumi family.

However, if this matter is blown out of proportion from the beginning, it will be difficult for the 46th Chamber to cover it up, and they will most likely choose to abandon the Kasumi Oji family.

In the archives room—

The release of the demonic path in July was like a clarion call for the guards to attack.

After the Ghost Path destroyed the floors of the Scroll Room, the guards could no longer tolerate it and immediately swarmed forward, attacking July.

The guards initially intended to pretend they hadn't seen Kyoraku Shunsui and try to walk around him, but he stopped them.

"Hey, am I that unimportant?" Kyoraku Shunsui stopped the six people, fighting against them all alone, but still had time to taunt his opponents.

Seeing that July had made a big commotion, he decided to stall for time and wait for the death of the patrol guards to arrive.

The guards, facing a captain-level expert, had little will to fight; they were only forced to act because of their status.

The two sides fought fiercely, with the sounds of swords clashing echoing continuously, but in reality, neither side had even released their Zanpakuto.

July only has one opponent, but he is the captain of the guard and is quite powerful.
