The only player in the world of Bleach

The pressure is immense... literally.

It is precisely because of the various restrictions and hierarchical separations that these students behave so stubbornly and strangely.

Matsushita Yusuke couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

A little pitiful...

"Matsushita-kun, then you'll be in charge of this area, right?"

When his name was called, Matsushita Yusuke snapped out of his reverie and nodded in response.

"I'm fine."

"Very well, then let's proceed according to the current plan..."

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!!!

With a loud roar, everyone turned around and saw several figures running around on the rooftop, shouting loudly in all directions.

"We've located the target! The vanguard is trying to buy time... Reinforcements, we need reinforcements!"

Things progressed unexpectedly smoothly.

Realizing that the reconnaissance work had become meaningless, Matsui, as the leader, almost subconsciously issued instructions for the subsequent parts.

"Follow them!"

I'm not going to earn any more positive impressions.

They should at least try to appear more proactive.

Only in this way can one barely gain some 'attention' in the eyes of those important figures!

"This mission involves the head of the Shihōin Academy, a rare opportunity! You know, usually the team leaders are the chair officers, and the vice-captains don't participate very often!"

With this reason, the team, which was already eager to try, became even more excited.

Time waits for no one!

Then let's get started!

Everyone rushed forward anxiously, but Matsushita Yusuke seemed to sense something, so much so that he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

—Yes, it used to be the seat officials who were in charge of the management, so why is it that Yoruichi Shihouin has to take charge herself this time?

What exactly is the reason behind this?

Although Yusuke Matsushita had never met these important figures, surely an 'old fellow' who could live for hundreds of years wouldn't be so idle as to play house with newcomers?

Although a suspicion had already formed in my mind, I couldn't wait for that thought to take shape...

The figure at the very front shouted.

"We're almost there!"

Yusuke Matsushita was forced to turn his head and look over.

In the ruins of a house, six students from the Spiritual Arts Academy surrounded a muscular figure, constantly harassing and attacking him.

Standing in a relatively secluded corner, Matsushita Yusuke maintained a distance of about twenty meters, taking the opportunity to observe the other person's appearance.

Emptiness...

Although the topic has been about these guys all along, and even the original work has devoted a lot of attention to these evil souls.

But this kind of observation is the first time that Yusuke Matsushita has truly had a 'close encounter'.

It was a long, tadpole-like shape.

It has no legs; instead, its tail serves as its lower body, making it appear long and slender, and somber.

His bare upper body was full of muscular outlines, and his four arms looked powerful and strong, each swing of which was powerful and vigorous... Getting hit by one would definitely not feel good.

Its head is flat and broad, and looks about half the width of a person...

As a result, its facial features are quite deformed, all squeezed onto a concave plane, as if the focus of the 'design' was placed on the crocodile-like long snout.

Although he had been mentally prepared beforehand, Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but sigh when he actually saw it.

—Looks like this? If you're human, I'll eat you!

"Kido support! Kendo squad, focus on the main battle, try to buy time, and launch a general offensive once the remaining squads have regrouped!"

The upperclassmen not far away began to give instructions, and Matsushita Yusuke's squad leader seemed unwilling to be outdone, urging everyone to hurry up and move forward.

"If we get beaten first, we won't have a chance to shine. Let's all go together!"

The scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

Matsushita Yusuke, however, remained standing still and did not make a move.

Having noticed his movements, the team leader Matsui turned around and called out anxiously.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to save face?!"

"No, I just feel... something seems a little strange..."

Matsushita Yusuke frowned, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his left hand loosely clenched into a fist and hanging at his side.

"What's so strange about it?!"

"A Void of this size shouldn't have this much power..."

Despite his six-meter stature, he was forced to retreat repeatedly by two people wielding two knives.

Yusuke Matsushita always felt... that this was a kind of show of weakness, a hunter's way of luring his prey into a trap.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Come here right now, we..."

I couldn't finish what I was saying.

Matsui's body was sent flying out of thin air.

Suddenly, the floor cracked open, and a giant shadow roared out from within, instantly opening its massive jaws to tear at the students in the air!

The second one is fake.

It's hidden underground!

018: The Unchanted Ghost Path

A sudden, explosive attack.

It left almost no time for anyone present to react.

That was completely different from the first Hollow monster... It had human-like limbs and shape, but its overall height was nearly four meters.

The limbs above the hands are quite thick, but the legs are proportionally shortened, giving it a gorilla-like appearance.

But even though it looks so ridiculous.

But after seeing that head, no one would dare to underestimate the other party anymore...

It has an exaggeratedly large, blood-red mouth—not just a description, but a statement in another sense.

Although it has a face that is similar to a human's, this guy has no concept of cheeks.

Its mouth looked as if it had been torn open, with two slits winding all the way to its ears. With just the action of opening its mouth, it could 'lift' its entire mouth like a crocodile.

Wisps of heat emanated from the thick molars, from which a faint stench and a gruesome aura could be detected, indicating that someone had already been trapped inside...

Two phantoms! They actually know how to cooperate?!

"Be careful, everyone!"

Some people belatedly started shouting.

but……

That's too late!

Even with assistance, two people were still unable to dodge and were caught in the air.

Its five fingers clenched tightly, producing a cracking sound as if bones were breaking! Bathed in the screams of its victims, it eagerly brought its hands to its mouth.

Those with a voracious appetite – compared to ordinary Hollows, this type of individual has a more pronounced tendency to attack, and also has a more acute sense of combat due to their long-term struggle with the Grim Reaper.

The longer such an individual lives, the more troublesome they become!

"Someone, someone, please save them!"

"Where's the support?! Kido! Use Destructo to stop them!"

"It's too late... There's not enough time to chant, and a low-level Kido can't break through the Hollow's defense!"

hope Zhijin, who was watching from a short distance away, had already started to sweat.

"Lord Yoruichi, we..."

I instinctively wanted to persuade them.

But the words caught in his throat and were swallowed back down.

The reason is simple: the superior is the subordinate. The difference in their social status is crystal clear...

So what if Yoruichi Shihouin vouched for her before? The final interpretation still rests with her. If she doesn't want to save her, then no matter how much you plead, it won't make a difference.

"It's alright! Don't worry, hope Zhijin."

So where exactly does this leader get his confidence from?!

Just when it seemed the two were about to lose their lives, at that moment...

A milky white light flashed and surged forward, accurately 'slapping' the illusory face.

swoosh...

After a fleeting whisper, a loud buzzing sound followed.

bump!!!

With a burst of light and heat, it exploded like a small hand grenade inside its mouth.

The creature let out a painful howl... It staggered backward, throwing both of its hands away, and then slapped its mouth while emitting a hoarse hiss.

"Gah..."

Yusuke Matsushita's figure appeared.

His right hand was held out in front of him, his index finger slightly raised, and a faint light still danced on it...

Hado #4: White Lightning!

The skills I had acquired earlier came in handy in this situation!

[Basic Master (For Kido spells numbered 10 and below, the casting time can be reduced, allowing for rapid release without affecting power)]

However, even with these positive results, Matsushita Yusuke showed no sign of relaxing. He continued to look around, and at that moment, he shouted loudly.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and rescue them!"

The opponent has two phantoms; to suppress them, cooperation is necessary.

Seeing that the 'big tadpole' had already rushed towards the line, Matsushita Yusuke quickly assessed the situation and made a decision.

— He is no match for me in close combat.

During the interaction just now, Matsushita Yusuke has almost completely learned about the other students' thoughts and their personality traits.

Frankly speaking.

The students here have almost no experience in close combat.

But this is understandable... What kind of strong person can be cultivated by practicing with a wooden sword all day long?

The lack of practical experience is ultimately the only unavoidable issue.

Therefore, the only way to minimize losses is to increase the distance...

Firepower coverage, total bombardment!

Matsushita Yusuke had a general plan in mind, and at that moment he shouted sternly.

"I'll lead the attack, you guys provide support!"

As soon as he finished speaking...
