The only player in the world of Bleach

Wide streets, well-dressed pedestrians. The cries of vendors hawking their wares, and the shouts of passersby filling the air…

Matsushita Yusuke personally experienced this unique atmosphere and couldn't help but blink.

This is a unique landscape completely different from Seireitei.

It carries a sense of order that is different from that of a regulated system, revealing the wildness unique to the grass-style figures.

With a scrutinizing gaze, Matsushita Yusuke followed the group, giving a cursory look at this 'lawless land' that was completely different from Seireitei.

"There are a surprisingly large number of people..."

Someone suddenly remarked something that quickly resonated with everyone.

“Yes, when I was living in Seireitei, I felt like I didn’t meet as many people as I did in a whole week…”

The bustling atmosphere is one aspect.

However, Yusuke Matsushita's attention was entirely focused on the aspect of 'more'.

You know, too many people isn't a good thing...

Because in the original work's Thousand-Year Blood War chapter, there was a very clear plot description—because the Unseen Empire was too active and had wiped out too many Void beings, the balance of the three realms was gradually collapsing.

What happened to the Gotei 13?

They simply 'evaporated' a certain area of ​​Rukongai to reduce its weight and burden, thereby restoring the three realms to a state of equilibrium.

To treat spirits as a resource and manipulate and control their numbers... frankly, people who do such things are already mentally unstable.

However, all of this was done with the permission of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

So in essence...

The Gotei 13 is basically a giant yakuza organization!!!

With a sense of awe, the team continued to move forward, steadily advancing towards their destination.

As everyone moved further and further away from Seireitei, almost everyone had a very real feeling.

That is, the once normal streets and pedestrians have gradually become sparse without anyone noticing...

The houses became smaller, and people's clothing became simpler, even shabby.

It's like turning from civilization to barbarism.

"The internship team? I understand... Please take care and be careful."

After passing through several checkpoint-like restricted areas, Matsushita Yusuke couldn't help but look at the grim reapers with their serious expressions.

The purpose of setting up these locations is to prevent chaos in specific areas... Most of them are experienced team members, older, and have calm personalities.

Such a person can be entrusted with important responsibilities, but at the same time, they will not easily soften their heart.

Letting them chop people up would leave no room for ambiguity...

Finally, the entire team arrived at the area that had been designated beforehand.

The Shinigami in charge of the relevant area approached and temporarily took on a role similar to a tour guide, respectfully explaining the current situation to Yoruichi Shihouin.

"Recently, many people have become ethereal... Evil spirits are constantly harming the residents in this area, and we have limited manpower..."

The situation is pretty much the same as what Yusuke Matsushita mentioned before.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Most Grim Reapers can only focus their attention on specific areas.

If one wants to specialize in control and intimidation, one will inevitably become rusty and lack combat skills...

Even if we reverse the situation, the same applies.

Only those with exceptional talent can achieve simultaneous progress, just like the named Grim Reapers who appeared in the original work...

"That's roughly the situation. Now, I'll give you a brief overview of the tasks."

hope Zhijin coughed twice and took out a prepared speech.

His voice was loud and clear, and even Matsushita Yusuke, who was standing at the very end, could hear it clearly.

"Students below the third grade should primarily work in teams to gather information. They should promptly report any suspicious activity they discover and avoid taking any rash actions on their own."

Students in the third grade and above, as the main force this time, must be prepared to fight at any time... Remember, you have all been selected as reserve members of the Asaha Death Reaper, and there is absolutely no possibility of retreating at this time.

above. "

015: Yoruichi Shihouin's 'Fun'

The students participating in this operation were roughly divided into two teams and given different tasks.

Although it may sound a bit rough around the edges and seem to lack room for deep thinking, this is precisely the fundamental concept behind team action.

When assigning tasks to a large group, it is essential to adhere to a consistent set of rules and regulations.

—The content must be simple and easy to understand.

This is a crucial step in implementing the core principles, and Xi Zhijin has done a great job in this regard; everyone can clearly understand what he has explained.

then……

"You will then split into smaller teams. I have the list. Everyone whose name is called, come and assemble!"

Reconnaissance, assessment, and support.

Tasks like these were broken down and assigned in a more detailed manner, and Yusuke Matsushita was assigned to the support team.

Xi Zhijin took three minutes to give a detailed explanation to their eight-person team. After describing the main tasks and content, he quickly moved on to the next group…

It's no exaggeration to say that...

The second division vice-captain performed far more professionally than expected.

Is it fair to say that great reputations are not undeserved?

The fact that the Ōmaeda family has been able to survive for a thousand years without having their 'private land' taken away by other nobles shows that they are far more professional than depicted in the original work!

Reflecting on this, Matsushita Yusuke also began to take action.

Because hope Zhijin had already informed everyone beforehand, the atmosphere among the group was not tense at all.

"This time they say there are only two bluffing agents causing trouble..."

"They're all the weaker types, right? We have almost a hundred people scattered around, so we can't possibly lose!"

"That nasty guy might have already been taken care of before we even found him."

Having an optimistic mindset is not a problem.

But Yusuke Matsushita always felt that things might not be that simple.

after all……

That's what it's described in the mission description!

'You want me to perform well? In this situation... there shouldn't be any room for me to perform well, right?'

at the same time.

Having completed all the preparations, Nozomi returned to the assembly point, breathed a sigh of relief, and plopped down on the roof beam next to Yoruichi.

"Lord Yoruichi, I have already given all the instructions."

"Oh, you've worked hard, Nozomi!"

"If you're willing to be understanding, please personally assign the task next time... It's not common for our Second Division to have the vice-captain do the work."

"Haha, hope Zhijin is as humorous as ever! Don't make jokes like that next time, I don't like them!"

"Regarding my desire to retire..."

"That won't do either! Aren't you quite capable? You're already thinking about training a successor? That's a bit too early. Let's wait a few more decades!"

Although Death is a spirit, it can greatly extend its own lifespan.

But this doesn't mean that everyone can live forever.

In fact, spirits also go through a process similar to birth, aging, sickness and death.

However, compared to the short lifespan of humans, the lifespan of the Grim Reaper... or rather, the lifespan of a spirit is several times longer than that of an ordinary person.

Although hope Zhijin is indeed in his prime, he can feel his limits.

His physical abilities have begun to decline.

Originally, while he was still able to work, he wanted to abdicate and hand over power to his descendants, while also being able to supervise from the sidelines.

It now seems that his wishful thinking has backfired.

"Xi Zhijin, don't underestimate yourself. I can sense that you can still use your talent... Help me for a few more years, okay?"

What else is there to say?

You are a noble lord, you have the final say!

It must be because of their long-standing relationship as master and deputy that hope Zhijin knows what kind of temper his superior has, so he can still occasionally make some jokes.

"As you wish..."

While chatting, the organized group ran along the street edge, shouting and yelling as if they were on a pleasant picnic.

This made hope Zhijin sigh.

Young people these days...

While I don't expect them to have any sense of responsibility, they should at least maintain some level of tension when carrying out a mission.

The same mentality that middle-aged people often have of looking down on young people seems understandable when applied to the Grim Reapers...

"hope Zhijin, which of these people do you think could be recruited into our Second Division?"

A very abrupt question.

But we definitely can't pretend we didn't hear it...

After all, this was their own boss, and Nozomi showed enough respect to Yoruichi Shihouin.

He nodded slightly, and after a brief moment of thought, spoke softly.

"I think... probably not."

This is not arrogance, but a statement of facts.

"Our Second Division prioritizes efficiency. Even if our skills are mediocre, we must still demonstrate the proper attitude."

Correspondingly.

“These young people lack professionalism… Although I don’t want to be rude, their current attitude and style of doing things are not in line with our philosophy.”

If anyone were to hear this, they would probably break out in a cold sweat.

As a powerful figure in the Second Division, Shinichi's words carried considerable weight.

If someone volunteers for the Second Division, then they'll probably never have a chance to join that division again...

however.

Yoruichi Shihouin, however, did not seem to think so.

She chuckled, revealing her sharp canine teeth, and her expression became somewhat mocking.

"You're really demanding!"

"Lord Yoruichi, you've been too meddlesome... Of course, you're still the captain of the Second Division, so I'm just offering suggestions in this regard."

They can distinguish between primary and secondary tasks and understand their own role.

hope Zhijin's demonstrated qualities and professional competence are the reasons why he is qualified for this position.

"Really? Well, in my opinion... this mission should be quite interesting."

"...?"

hope Zhijin raised his head, somewhat bewildered.

What's interesting about it?

They're just two Hollows that have just deteriorated. Even if they're a bit difficult for newcomers, this is a challenge for nearly a hundred people...

There were enough people to overwhelm those two unlucky guys.
