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

“I’m not entirely clear on this matter either,” Dean Awanmen said in a deep voice. “However, if this matter is truly related to the Zhenyang Academy of Medicine, I will certainly give you all an explanation.”

The group arrived at the makeshift medical room and checked on Kensei Mukkale's condition.

Dean Awanmen summoned more than a dozen Grim Reapers responsible for treating the injured students.

"Who is in charge of treating Kensei Rokusha?" Dean Aman asked slowly.

A grim reaper dressed in a white coat stepped forward: "Dean, I treated Kensei Muguruma."

"Your name is Yasuda, right?" Dean Aman asked sternly. "Then let me ask you, did you inject Kensei Muguruma with a sedative?"

Yasuda said as if reciting a script, "Kensei Muguruma lost blood and fell into a coma. I judged that he needed to replenish his blood, and blood replenishment should be used in conjunction with sedatives, so I injected him with sedatives."

Dean Aman rebuked, "Your skills are lacking! Using blood-replenishing agents only requires a small amount of sedative, but you injected Kensei Muguruma with a large amount of sedative, causing him to fall into a deep coma!"

Yasuda said in a flustered manner, "Dean Aman, please forgive my mistake!"

Dean Aman sighed slightly and said to Kotetsu Ayane, "Dean Kotetsu, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to take advantage of this real sword competition to give these new recruits more opportunities to interact with the injured."

"I never expected that my lack of skill would lead to this result."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely give you all an explanation."

"The Shin-O Pharmaceutical Institute will compensate Kensei Rokkaku with a sum of money for nutrition expenses. At the same time, Yasuda, who was involved in the incident, will be suspended from his duties for three years."

Kana Mochi asked, "This isn't about compensation; Kensei's problem now is that he won't have time to participate in the revival tournament!"

July nodded: "Kensei Rokugura has put in a lot of effort and hard work to prepare for this competition, but now he can't continue because of this accident. This is very unfair to him. Please ask Dean Kotetsu to postpone the loser's bracket match."

Tsunayoshi Tokina grinned and said, "He can only blame his bad luck. Postponing the match is impossible; it would be a waste of other people's time!"

Vice Dean Tsunayo said slowly, "Everyone at the Shin-O Medical Academy is very busy. It's already quite an achievement that they could take the time to help treat the injured student today. Professor Shikatori, we can't let everyone at the Shin-O Medical Academy waste their time here with us just because of one student."

Dean Awanmen nodded: "We still have matters to attend to this afternoon."

Without the people from the True Central Medicine Academy present, the True Sword Competition cannot proceed.

Ayane Kotetsu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll reschedule the losers' bracket revival match for another day?"

Dean Awanmen quickly rejected the idea: "The schedule has already been arranged. Postponing the loser's bracket matches will cause the subsequent matches to be postponed as well. We have already confirmed the match times with the invited guests. How can we change them at will!"

The quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals were all attended by team captains and nobles, so the schedule was set long ago and cannot be changed arbitrarily.

July suddenly said, "Since everyone at the Shin-O Medicine Institute is so busy, why not let the Fourth Division handle the treatment for the True Sword Competition?"

"I believe that the Fourth Division is capable of ensuring the safety of the real sword duel, and can even do better. There would never be a problem like this now."

Dean Awan's face flushed red: "What do you mean by this... Are you questioning the medical skills of the True Central Academy of Medicine?!"

“I spent some time in the Fourth Division and I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t even know the dosage of a tranquilizer.” July shook her head slightly. “To be honest, even students in the Spirit Arts Academy’s advanced training program probably wouldn’t make such a mistake.”

"Since the Spirit Arts Academy doesn't trust us, we won't be coming to the subsequent True Sword Competition." Dean Awanmen flicked his sleeves and made as if to leave.

"Wait!" Vice Dean Tsunayo demanded. "Shikatori-sensei, quickly apologize to Dean Amanmon. They are important guests for this real sword competition. What if there are injuries or deaths during the competition if they leave!"

If the people from the True Central Academy of Medicine leave, how will he control the competition afterwards!

July smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Vice Dean Tsuna, I will definitely invite the Fourth Division to ensure the safety of this real sword competition."

Seeing that Ayane Kotetsu had no intention of keeping him, Dean Amanmon felt ashamed to stay any longer and left with the people from the Shin-O Medicine Institute.

Vice Dean Tsunayo was furious. Pointing at Shikatoshi Nanatsuki, she said, "You've driven everyone from the Shin-O Medicine Academy away. If something happens during the Shin-Sword Tournament, you're no longer a teacher!"

July remained unmoved. They had already tried to trip him up like this, so naturally he wouldn't swallow his anger and continue to keep Zhenyang Shiyao Academy here, lest they cause even more trouble.

Why not just invite the Fourth Division to replace Shin'o Shikuin?

"Shikatori-kun, are you sure it's okay? I heard that the Fourth Division has been taking care of the Shinigami who were injured in the war. Do they have time to come and treat the interns?" Kotetsu Ayane asked.

"Don't worry, I know the condition of the wounded who are recuperating in the Fourth Division very well, and most of them have already been discharged from the hospital," July said.

Given his reputation in the Fourth Division, getting some people to help him should be no problem.

"Alright, let's hold the losers' bracket matches this afternoon." Ayane Kotetsu nodded. "I'll leave the matter of inviting the Fourth Division to you!"

After everyone else left, July first separated the excess drug from Kensei Mukkale's blood.

After the medication was removed from his blood, Kensei Muguruma woke up in less than ten minutes.

"Why does my head feel so dizzy..." Kensei Rokusha said, rubbing his head.

In July, she prepared a dose of medicine and handed it to him: "This is a side effect of overdosing on sedatives. Drink this and it will help you regain your energy."

Kensei Muguruma hadn't even realized what was happening when he blankly took the medicine and drank it. He quickly felt a jolt of energy and became completely awake.

"The revival tournament shouldn't have started yet, right? I shouldn't miss it this time, right?" Kensei Muguruma felt that this scene was familiar.

"Judging by the time, we should have finished several matches by now," Hirako Shinji said, pretending to do the math.

"What! I'm going to miss it again?" Kensei Rokusha exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, he's just kidding you!" Cilantro Mole City laughed.

"Kenshin-san, you really need to thank your teacher, otherwise you would have been eliminated!" said Kotsubaki Jin'emon.

After their explanation, he finally understood. If it weren't for the teacher's help, he would have been eliminated in the first round just like last time!

Kensei Muguruma was deeply moved when he learned that his master had risked offending Shin's medical school so that he could continue fighting.

"I will definitely live up to my teacher's expectations!"

Chapter 119 Team Building of the Fourth Division

July arrived at the Fourth Division, where he needed to find some people to help provide medical support for the upcoming matches.

In the courtyard of the Fourth Division, a black-haired girl was lazily sweeping the floor.

The cleaning girl noticed July and exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Shikatri!"

She jogged over to July and continued, "This morning I saw magpies outside the window, and I was wondering if something good would happen to me today. Turns out I'll be meeting Lord Shikagiri!"

In July, she said gently, "Is it Hyemi's turn to be on duty today?"

The cleaning girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

July asked, "How many patients in the intensive care unit are still hospitalized?"

The cleaning girl said, "Most of them have been discharged from the hospital. Some of them have been left with disabilities and need long-term care. The team leader felt that they were not able to take care of themselves, so he did not let them leave the hospital and transferred them to the sanatorium to recuperate."

"Doesn't Lord Shikatori have class today?"

"We thought Lord Shikatori was busy since school had just started, so we didn't dare to bother him."

"Everyone has been working too hard lately, and now they can finally rest. Many people are on vacation."

"We're organizing a tea party in a few days, and we hope Lord Shikatori can attend!"

The cleaning girl was very excited when she saw Shikari Nanatsuki and kept talking.

July smiled and said, "I would definitely come if I didn't have class. There are no classes today because the Spirit Arts Academy is conducting a swordsmanship assessment."

"However, this swordsmanship assessment will be a real sword competition."

"To prevent any accidents from happening during the real sword fight, I'd like to come to the Fourth Division to find some people to help provide medical support for the real sword fight."

The cleaning girl immediately raised her hand: "I want to help!"

"Isn't Huimei supposed to be on duty?" July asked.

"No problem, I'll be done sweeping soon!" The girl sweeping quickly swung the broom, a stark contrast to her previous lazy demeanor.

"Thank you, Huimei. But there are quite a few participants, so I'll need to find a few more people to help," July said.

“I know who’s on vacation. Let me take you to them,” the cleaning girl said.

The cleaning girl brought July to the team dormitory.

Each member of the Fourth Division has their own room, but the courtyard is maintained by multiple people.

After arriving at the team's compound in July, he was quickly noticed by others.

"Lord Shikatori has arrived!"

"It's Lord Shikatori!"

July smiled and said, "So you're all here. No wonder I didn't see anyone in the front yard."

Fourth Division Member: "We've been on vacation lately since nothing much has been happening."

July explained her purpose: "I hope I haven't bothered you. I'm here to find some people to help me. The swordsmanship assessment at the Spirit Arts Academy has been changed to a real sword competition, and we need some medical support."

Fourth Division member: "How can you say it's a disturbance? Lord Shikatori taught me how to respond a while ago, and I haven't even properly repaid you yet. Please let me know if you need any help!"

"Yes, yes, it's so great to be able to help you!"

"me too!"

The Grim Reapers in the yard immediately agreed to help, and the commotion in the yard also attracted the attention of the people inside the house.

When the people inside saw that it was Shikamori Nanatsuki, they all came out.

Soon, dozens of Death Gods gathered in the barracks courtyard.

"What! You're going to the Spirit Arts Academy to watch Lord Shikatri preside over the True Sword Trial?"

"Don't leave me out of this great opportunity! I want to go too!"

Too many Shinigami wanted to go to the Spirit Arts Academy with him, which even alarmed Unohana.

"Shikatori-kun is so popular, he's practically emptied out the Fourth Division!"

Unohana's tone was still as gentle as ever, but July felt a chill in her heart.

Unohana thought for a moment and continued, "I'll take them with me. Although we don't need that many people, we can just watch the competition."

She was also somewhat interested in a real sword fight.

...

"Dean Kotetsu, I've already invited the Shinigami from the Fourth Division, but there are quite a few of them," July said.

"Shikatori-kun is truly remarkable, to have such a high reputation in the Fourth Division," Ayane Kotetsu exclaimed. "But then again, someone as gentle as Shikatori-kun is the type that's very popular with girls."

This swordsmanship assessment seems to have turned into a team-building activity for the Fourth Division.

Ayane Kotetsu was also very surprised that Shikari Nanatsuki was able to gather so many people.

She needs to start considering whether the swordplay room at the Spirit Arts Academy can accommodate so many spectators.

However, in order to invite the captains and nobles, the Spirit Arts Academy also built an open-air arena, which, if opened in advance, can accommodate so many spectators.

"Let's use the open-air arena for the next match," said Ayane Kotetsu.

The students who participated in the competition soon received a notice to go to the open-air arena to compete.

"Why are there so many more people!" Kensei Rokusha was somewhat surprised. He understood why the competition venue had been changed to an outdoor ring.

The swordplay room simply can't accommodate so many people!

"That must be Captain Unohana, right? I saw Rii too. I guess they're all people the teacher called from the Fourth Division," said Kana Azashiro.

"Tsk, those people from the Shinigami Academy thought the True Sword Tournament couldn't continue without them, but then the teacher made a move and brought over the entire Fourth Division." Hirako Shinji grinned.

"With so many people watching, I have to do my best!" Kensei Rokusha clenched his fist; he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people.

"Go for it, Kensei! It's so enviable that our teacher knows so many girls from the Fourth Division!" Tsubaki Jin'emon was also fired up, wishing he could fight for Kensei.

"Tsubaki, you're married now, why are you still thinking about these things?" Hirako Shinji said.

Kotsubaki Jin'emon was an older student at the academy; he was already married and had children when he enrolled.

Actually, he was the oldest among the disciples of Shiroki no Nanatsu, but he liked to call his fellow disciples who were more skilled than him "brother" or "sister".

"You can be envious even if you're married," said Kyouka Jin'emon, scratching his face.

Kensei Muguruma's match was in the second round, and it wasn't long before it was his turn to enter the ring.

His opponent was Ichiro Madarame.

Ichiro Madarame encountered Noriyuki Omaeda and was knocked into the loser's bracket by Omaeda.

But this does not mean that Ichiro Madarame is weak; he successfully made it into the top eight in the last assessment.

He only made it into the loser's bracket because of bad luck in the draw; he's considered one of the best students in his class.

"I hope this opponent doesn't fall too quickly." Kensei Rokusha stretched his wrists and walked towards the ring.
