The only player in the world of Bleach

In the context of this feudal society, the title of nobleman meant privilege and an unquestionable status.

This not only incorporates the traditional Japanese concept of 'divine right of kings,' but also reflects the fact that the four noble families within Soul Society possess profound secrets and power.

With power and authority intertwined, the status of the nobility was naturally unshakeable.

And what's in front of us?

He is also the youngest head of the Shihōin family to date.

Keep in mind that at this time, the Kuchiki family next door probably hadn't even started their new job yet... but Yoruichi was already the de facto head of the household.

What do you mean by "the difference is obvious" (leans back tactically)? It can only be said that although they are both heads of families, the level of their achievements is clearly different.

Similar thoughts kept swirling in her mind, while Yoruichi Shihouin on the stage began to briefly explain the subsequent tasks and arrangements.

"The Gotei 13 has a duty to rotate instructors each time. Since it's our Second Division's turn this time, we must show you the style of the Onmitsukito!"

They took turns providing guidance.

That is indeed the case in theory.

However, some special squads were excluded from these options.

013: Quests in Rukongai

For example, there is the Eighth Division, which is specifically used to handle intelligence, and the First Division, which is responsible for handling political affairs and overall coordination.

Due to their special nature and work, these two types of personnel are usually not assigned to overseas assignments or provide guidance.

These kinds of things were the key points that Aizen Sousuke had crammed on, and Matsushita Yusuke had memorized them all.

As for the specific tasks performed during each internship, that is...

Basically, it all depends on the wishes of the organizers of each squad...

In fact, this is one of the few opportunities that students can have early access to the Gotei 13.

As mentioned before, each squad has its own characteristics and responsibilities.

Knowing about it beforehand and adapting in advance will allow students to directly take up their posts in the corresponding squads after graduation, minimizing unnecessary waste of resources...

Therefore, Yoruichi Shihouin's presence this time was not only to showcase her noble status, but also to promote the Second Division internally.

Maybe this will make someone interested in the Second Division?

The basic team members, as an important component, are also a very important element.

"This time we'll take you to a rather remote Rukongai, uh... I don't remember the specifics, Ōmaeda! You tell us!"

This leader sounds a bit unreliable...

However, in reality, they are not that different.

Yoruichi Shihouin herself was not interested in political affairs, and she didn't even care much about maintaining the family's reputation.

He usually likes to hang out with Kisuke Urahara, and the two of them tinker with things that others can't understand... but they're all very useful!

Because the original work didn't show many scenes of Yoruichi Shihouin leveling up, even so, she was still able to keep up with the version's harassment of Yhwach and confront the Royal Guard head-on.

Compared to Da Bai, who was tormented half to death and had to go to the Spirit King Palace to upgrade... he is much stronger.

In conclusion, the internal affairs of the Second Division are basically handled by the vice-captain.

Ohmaeda...

Yusuke Matsushita turned his gaze over thoughtfully.

In the original work, the second division vice-captain is named Ōmaeda Kichiyo, and he is a burly, strong man, much like this guy.

But it wasn't one person.

'Is this Hijiri Susumu?'

He had a brown pompadour hairstyle, wore sunglasses, and had a smug yet somewhat condescending expression...

Aside from his attire, he's basically no different from his son. It just goes to show how authoritative the Ōmaeda family is when it comes to genetics.

At the same time, Yusuke Matsushita also noticed other aspects.

'Not only the captain, but even the vice-captain is of noble birth... it's been passed down through generations.'

Considering the feudal cultural background of Soul Society as a whole, the situation where the father and son both have the same job doesn't seem so surprising.

Yoruichi called his name.

hope Zhijin, who was standing guard nearby, hurriedly stepped forward and took out the prepared lecture notes from his pocket.

"Distribute them all, and discuss them as you read!"

There were also lecture notes...

It goes beyond mere verbal instructions; it involves detailed explanations of specific actions and descriptions in a more intuitive way.

It was already quite an achievement to be able to do that. Yusuke Matsushita took it and glanced at it briefly in his palm.

The content is very simple.

The above provides a general overview of the current situation in Rukongai.

The four major regions—east, south, west, and north—combine approximately 80 sub-regions and over 320 specific residential areas.

In terms of area alone, Rukongai is many times larger than Seireitei.

This is not only due to the vastness of Soul Society itself, but also because of the sheer number of spirits... The origin of spirits is not only natural birth, but also the need for souls to find a place to rest within Soul Society after death.

This place is just like America.

Even without any measures to encourage births, the population can increase on its own.

The Seireitei also provides resettlement and guidance for the Rukongai, which is part of the Gotei 13's work.

But just like I said before.

There are too many people; we can't manage them all.

Therefore, we can only consider implementing block-based management.

“There are indeed some of you from Rukongai, but some of you are also students within Seireitei. This information is very important, so I must emphasize it… so please don’t find me annoying.”

This hope Zhijin is quite meticulous.

"The order of Rukongai is that the smaller the number and the earlier the area, the more stable it is and the more abundant its resources are."

Even more so, for some specific districts... their resources are no less than those within the Seireitei, making them veritable 'paradise on earth' in Rukongai.

What about the corresponding ones?

Yusuke Matsushita flipped through the documents in his hand and completed the follow-up supplement.

"The later the number, the more chaotic and barren the area is. Resource shortage is one aspect, but for some harsher areas... just to survive requires all their might."

It's not a description, but a statement.

Yusuke Matsushita knew that spirits were different from living people; here, spirits only needed spiritual energy and water to survive.

Hunger is an experience, but this 'symptom' alone is not enough to cause the death of a spirit... so hunger will not kill a person.

It's a bit of a hellish joke.

"Our mission this time is to go to Katagiri District, number 73, to drive out and eliminate the Hollows that have been active there recently."

There are a total of eighty divisions.

Katagiri Ward is directly classified as number 73, and just hearing this ranking makes you realize how prestigious it is.

As for the specific tasks to be carried out?

This was somewhat expected.

After all, Hollows don't just appear in Hueco Mundo; these things are essentially corrupted, degenerated souls.

Therefore, ordinary people who end up in the Soul Society may also experience Hollowfication symptoms.

Compared to peaceful and tranquil areas... regions where people constantly have to fight and struggle to survive are naturally more likely to give birth to the Void.

Part of the Gotei 13's regular work also involves periodically going to Rukongai to carry out cleaning missions.

In addition, Yusuke Matsushita noticed something about the description of the mission.

'That's a very accurate description...does it mean the target has been identified?'

Given the Covert Task Force's modus operandi, it's clear that they conducted prior investigations before making this decision.

The intensity shouldn't be too high; it should be just right for an internship.

"Ten-minute break, then we'll get ready to leave... Let's try to finish the mission before 2 PM and get back as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar mission panel appeared in front of Matsushita Yusuke's eyes.

[Carrying out a cleanup mission under the guidance of the Second Division]

[Introduction: This is your first time working with members of the Gotei 13. Perhaps you could take this opportunity to showcase your abilities?]

[Reward: Spiritual Pressure Level +3, Shunpo +2, mastery of the Shihouin Clan's secret skill (randomly drawn)]

014: First Operation

Ooh~

Although there were corresponding psychological expectations beforehand.

But upon seeing the actual reward, Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but feel delighted.

really……

To become stronger, you have to eat forbidden fruit... no, I mean, you have to stay close to the truly strong!

As a member of a long-established noble family, Yoruichi Shihouin's abilities are already extraordinary. Moreover, considering her activity level in the original work, her potential can be considered 'obvious' in another sense.

This is a high-grade mineral deposit, no less valuable than Aizen Sousuke's.

Having figured this out, Matsushita Yusuke's gaze towards the other person became much more fervent. He stared intently at Yoruichi Shihouin's retreating figure, unable to suppress his admiration.

It's both beautiful and easy to use; no wonder it's the dark-skinned older sister who introduced me to XP.

Best of all!

Before long, the entire team began to organize their way up the road.

During the process, Yoruichi Shihouin occasionally had to whisper to Nozomi, and through these subtle details, Yusuke Matsushita more or less understood the way the two got along.

Yoruichi, this delinquent girl, seems to be the type who doesn't really get involved in things...

Therefore, all authority was delegated to Ōmaeda to act on his behalf.

From a practical standpoint, this is indeed a very convenient approach. However, correspondingly, the level of trust between the two parties should also be very high.

'This position was previously held by Kisuke Urahara?'

No wonder these two old married couples can get along like that; it can only be said that the exchange of interests was already reached a long time ago.

As for the Ōmaeda family... Yusuke Matsushita naturally thought of the relationship between Kichiyo and Soi Fon.

'Soi Fon doesn't seem to have any talent for management, so she probably leaves most of the work to Nozomi...'

Therefore, in a sense, the Ōmaeda family should be considered a subordinate faction of the Ōhōin family.

Thinking about it this way is indeed a bit complicated.

Thoughts rose and fell, but Matsushita Yusuke understood everything clearly.

"Prepare to leave the city!"

The four main gates within Seireitei are inherently closed and are guarded by designated personnel.

Entry and exit usually require a warrant or permission. But for the captains of the Gotei 13, their status and haori (traditional Japanese robe) are sufficient to fulfill this requirement.

Led by Yoruichi Shihouin, the group left Seireitei.

Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but turn around and look.

As his 'hometown' which he had never left before, this noble land where even a small space was restricted, he never expected that his first departure would be under such circumstances.

It really makes one feel quite emotional.

As for Rukongai.

As the area closest to Seireitei, this area falls within the jurisdiction of District 2.
