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

Chapter 80 Captain-General

Kyoraku Shunsui and Nanatsuki joined the First Division.

As the matter drew to a close, Kyoraku Shunsui felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask the sagabe captain, Chojiro, who was leading the way, "Vice Captain Chojiro, is the old man Yama angry?"

Chojiro did not answer directly: "After the patrol team reported the news, the other captains all came over."

Kyoraku Shunsui breathed a sigh of relief: "The others have arrived, that's good."

With other people around, at least I won't get beaten up.

Chojiro Sagamatsu slowly pushed open an old-fashioned wooden door, which made a slight creaking sound.

This wooden door is clearly quite old.

July followed closely behind the two of them, passing through the wooden door.

He had actually met the Captain-Commander at the academy, but this was his first time joining the First Division.

The floor is made of polished wood, and you can feel its steady echo with every step you take.

When they arrived at the entrance of the council chamber, they saw that everyone had been waiting there for a long time.

Upon entering the council chamber, July felt that many eyes were focused on her.

The captains or vice-captains of each squad stood in two rows on both sides, while the Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stood in the very center, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

In July, he could only recognize the Captain-Commander, Retsu Unohana, Ginrei Kuchiki, Kenpachi Kuchiyashiki, Kiryu Hikifune, and Jushiro Ukitake.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is now bald, but his white beard is not as long as it was in his previous life.

His eyes were sharp and dignified, like a volcano that had been dormant for a long time but might erupt at any moment.

As usual, Unohana remained gentle and tender, but July sensed a slight fervor in her eyes.

When Kenpachi noticed that Shichi was looking at him, he grinned and gave him a pinky finger.

July was fairly familiar with Jushiro Ukitake. When Bayunzai fell ill, he came to visit him, and when July looked at him, he returned July's gentle smile.

The others looked at July, mostly out of curiosity about who was following Kyoraku Shunsui.

The captains of the third, fifth, ninth, and tenth divisions are vacant, and the duties of the captains are temporarily being performed by the vice-captains.

The captains of the Second and Seventh Divisions were both unfamiliar faces.

The captain of the Second Division is a lower-ranking nobleman from the Shihōin family, and is temporarily in charge of the Second Division on behalf of the Shihōin family.

The captain of the 7th Division is Taketsuna, who is also a first-generation captain. However, he looks even older than Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who has lost all his hair, so he is probably not far from retiring from the division.

"Kyoraku Shunsui!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni shouted, "Why did you trespass into the Kasumioji family's archives room!"

If there weren't so many people here, he probably would have already taught this unfilial disciple a lesson!

They were just released, and they've already caused trouble again.

And just like last time, they acted without any prior notice.

By the time he found out, things had already blown up!

"There's nothing we can do about it. The verdict for the Mochishiro family will be handed down in the next couple of days. According to the habits of the 46th Chamber, once the verdict is handed down, it will be difficult to change it." Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head. He was telling the truth. If there was still time to delay, he would not have chosen to go on a spree with Shikatori Nanatsuki tonight.

If the Moyao Blade wasn't forged by the Zhicheng family, then its death was truly unjust.

If the charge of treason is proven, the entire clan will be exterminated.

"Are you questioning the verdict of the 46th Chamber?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's gaze was intense; anyone with a guilty conscience would not dare to look him in the eye.

“No, but if there’s a problem with the evidence, even the ‘fair’ 46th Chamber would make a wrong judgment.” Kyoraku Shunsui took out the files. “These are the files we found at the Kasumioji’s house.”

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni didn't say much, took the scroll and started reading it directly.

The crowd waited quietly for him to examine the documents in his hands.

After a while.

"Damn it!"

"Shameless!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glared angrily, furious that Kasumi Oji had done such a despicable thing!

They forged weapons in such a cruel way and then framed the Mochi City family, falsely accusing them of treason.

Its heart is awkward!

Seeing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's reaction, the others couldn't help but wonder about the scroll he was reading.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, may we take a look at the contents of the file?" Kuchiki Ginrei asked.

His Sixth Division is a noble command unit, and they are quite concerned about the affairs of the Kasumioji and Azumajo families.

After reading the scroll, Kuchiki Ginrei's expression changed slightly. The Kasumi Oji family had done so much in secret, yet the Sixth Division was completely unaware.

This shows that the Kuchiki family has a problem with their control over the Sixth Division!

"I'm sorry, it was my fault for failing to discipline the Sixth Division!" Kuchiki Ginrei said, bowing his head.

"You're not the only one who failed in your duty!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni turned to look at a vice-captain standing at the end, "Vice-Captain Amanmon, the Tenth Division is probably riddled with holes too!"

"The 10th Division is responsible for patrolling and security on a regular basis. Kasumi Oji has done so much in Soul Society over the years, didn't you notice anything unusual at all?!"

All eyes were on Vice Captain Awanmen, who immediately knelt down on one knee:

"I apologize, it was my dereliction of duty that I failed to properly fulfill my responsibilities as acting captain!"

With his arms crossed, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki recalled, "Vice Captain Amanmon, your wife seems to be a woman from the Kasumioji family, right?"

Faced with Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's questioning, Vice Captain Amanmon's forehead was already covered in cold sweat: "My wife is indeed Kasumioji, but I absolutely did not show favoritism!"

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, please hand this matter over to the Sixth Division for investigation. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Kuchiki Ginrei stepped forward to volunteer.

"This matter will be investigated jointly by the Sixth, Eighth, and Thirteenth Divisions!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said.

Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his face, surprised that he would have to continue investigating this matter. But it was fine this way, as he wouldn't have to stay in the First Division and reminisce about his training days with the old man.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Shikatri Nanatsu: "Shikatri Nanatsu, as a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy, why did you investigate Kasumioji's affairs?"

He suspected that Shikagori Nanatsuki had ulterior motives.

July explained, "Among the members of the Mole City family who are imprisoned, there is one of my students."

“If she is convicted of treason, she will be executed.”

“Now her whole family is locked up in jail, and I’m the only one she can rely on.”

"I cannot stand idly by; I must find out the truth and rescue the students!"

July's answer earned her the favor of most of the unfamiliar captains and vice-captains.

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his hand: "I can testify that Kana Azajo is a disciple of Shikatori-kun."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression softened. His willingness to confront a higher-ranking noble in order to save his disciple was commendable!

Chapter 81 Yamamoto's Swordsmanship

However, one thing is one thing, and the belief of Shikatori Nanatsuki in saving his disciple is commendable, but Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni still has questions and continues to ask:

"You were the one who discovered the 'Moyao Blade' forging base before, weren't you? How did you find it? And at that time, the Mochi family hadn't been in trouble yet."

“I also taught a class of sixth-year students at the Spirit Arts Academy. One of them, Guan Zhimu Yan, was killed by the ‘Mo Yao Dao’!” July said in a deep voice. “Before he died, he asked me to find out the truth!”

"The 'Mo Yao Blade' that killed Guan Zhimu Yan is also recorded in the archives!"

“I deliberately waited there for the Xia Dalu family to come and retrieve the ‘Mo Yao Knife’, and finally I successfully found the place where the ‘Mo Yao Knife’ was forged.”

July didn't want outsiders to know that he could use his Zanpakuto to set up "surveillance points," as this ability was too unsettling.

Therefore, he did not bring up the matter of the Kasumi Shinpachi people setting up "bait" in the present world.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded, thinking that this young man was a very responsible teacher, and there weren't many teachers who could do this much for their students.

He understood why Shikamori Nanatsuki had brought Kyoraku Shunsui along both times.

The Kasumi clan is not some easily manipulated cat or dog; they are powerful upper-class nobles. For Shikamori Nanatsuki to try to fight the Kasumi clan alone is like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Although Shikatori Nanatsuki had the support of the first captain, Shikatori Hakunsai, he was well aware of Hakunsai's current condition—he was a dying man and had no power to fight against the Kasumioji family.

He didn't choose to venture into the forging base and the archives alone; he's courageous and resourceful, a promising talent!

He had read the report on the Karakura Town incident a while ago and knew that Shikatori Nanatsuki's strength was quite good among the young people.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes softened considerably. The Gotei 13 was in dire need of talent, and young people like Shikatori Nanatsuki were very likely to grow into reliable captains in the future.

"Very good! Lu Quqiyue, your spirit of protecting your students is commendable; it is a teacher's duty!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni paused for a moment, then continued, "The trial of the Azajo family will be held tomorrow. Kyoraku Shunsui and Shikatori Nanatsuki will accompany me to the trial tomorrow!"

"Meeting adjourned. Kyoraku Shunsui and Shikatori Nanatsuki, please stay behind!"

The captain and vice-captains left one after another.

As Kenpachi Kuruyashiki passed by Shichitsuki, he put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Well done! I like guys like you who aren't afraid of trouble! Come visit the Eleventh Division sometime! Hahaha!"

"I'll definitely do it next time." July smiled awkwardly.

Please don't say things like that in front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto!

It makes him seem like someone who likes to stir up trouble!

As Kiryu passed by Nanatsuki, he looked him over with interest: "Shikatori-kun, I've heard you're a very good cook?"

To his surprise, his culinary skills had already reached Hikifune Kiryu.

Before he could answer, Kiryu continued, "It was Shunsui who said that your cooking is just as good as mine, which makes me very curious."

July humbly said, "The band leader is too kind. He may be eating 'hot pot' for the first time, which is why he found it so amazing."

"I heard about how to make hot pot from Shunsui, and I even tried to recreate it. What a brilliant idea!" Hikifune Kiryu patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly. "Shunsui is quite picky, but Shikato-kun, you don't need to be modest. Your cooking skills must be amazing. I also love cooking. Come to the 12th Division sometime and we can exchange ideas!"

"Okay, I'm also looking forward to Captain Hikifune's cooking."

He was really looking forward to July. If he were lucky enough to eat a dish made with "temporary souls" in the future, his spiritual pressure would increase dramatically.

This is a rare way to increase spiritual pressure in the world of Bleach without any side effects.

Unfortunately, Kiryu Hikifune is still a stunningly beautiful woman with a perfect figure, so she probably hasn't developed her "temporary soul" yet, or maybe she has but hasn't applied it to cooking yet.

Unohana stayed until the very end, smiling as she said, "Shikatori-kun is really popular~"

The eagerness in Unohana's eyes made July feel as if she were examining a delicious dish.

She continued, "You've progressed very quickly in Kido. I remember you weren't good at Kido before, but now you can use the 88th Kido."

"I hope your swordsmanship will also improve in this way."

Delicious food should be savored slowly, and Unohana hopes that Shikatori Nanatsuki's sword will allow her to enjoy it a little longer.

July scratched his head. Wasn't he learning the Way of Reincarnation from Unohana? Why was he being tested on his swordsmanship now?

After the others left, only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kyoraku Shunsui, and Shikatori Shichigetsu remained in the council chamber.

"You two, come with me!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was the first to leave the council chamber.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to get a beating." Kyoraku Shunsui's face fell; he had anticipated what was about to happen.

Old Man Shan was clearly taking them to the swordsmanship room to practice!

I never expected that I still couldn't escape this calamity!

When Kyoraku Shunsui saw that Shikatori Nanatsuki still didn't understand the seriousness of the problem, he whispered a reminder: "Shikatori-kun, the old man's swordsmanship is incredibly fierce and powerful. Even a wooden sword would be in pain for days after taking a few hits!"

A hint of excitement flashed in July's eyes: "Really? That's something to look forward to!"

"?" Kyoraku Shunsui's expression was strange, feeling that he was not the same kind of person as someone who would go for a beating.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni led the two to the swordsmanship room of the First Division.

He took off his captain's haori, casually picked up a wooden sword from the sword rack, and said to Shikatri Nanatsuki:

"Come up here, let me see if the Shikatori school has declined."

July nodded slowly and took a wooden knife from the knife rack.
