The only player in the world of Bleach

That's Hozuki-maru from Madarame Ikkaku...

It can transform into the shape of a spear through liberation, which is quite funny that it can be interrupted, but what's more, this thing's ability is to 'store internal healing medicine'.

what?

Your Zanpakuto's power is for storing medicine?!

It can only be said that when the poet designed this thing, he was most likely doing it with a mindset of watching a joke.

So, putting everything else aside, let's eliminate this definitely problematic option first...

So what follows?

[Elemental System]

To be honest, Yusuke Matsushita felt that this broad category was somewhat difficult to categorize.

Because the ability that would be considered a supporting role in other works has an unusually high level of sophistication in this work.

Whether it's Toshiro the Future Warrior or the ruthless Yamamoto, elemental powers, when developed to their fullest potential, possess the power to destroy the world!

Yusuke Matsushita couldn't even find any clear examples to eliminate incorrect answers...

So after much deliberation, he could only set a rather vague indicator.

(Do not develop any strange abilities other than those related to elements)

After all, the category of elemental systems encompasses a wide range of things, and this is the best that Yusuke Matsushita can achieve.

Okay, next!

【Ghost Dao System】

Oh, isn't this an old friend?

Yusuke Matsushita thought a lot about this large system, and finally designed and eliminated some problems in a more detailed way.

(Do not develop Kido abilities that have an aggressive tendency)

This statement itself is the result of careful consideration.

The reason is simple: as a Kido-type Zanpakuto, the developed attack capabilities are usually quite ordinary—for ranged attacks, I can use Hado enough, there's no need to waste the Zanpakuto's abilities on secondary design.

This is a waste of ability.

So following this line of thought, Hirako Shinji was actually a pretty good choice... he just ran into the even more overpowered Aizen.

Department of Biology

Yusuke Matsushita didn't have any particular opinions about this system, since such abilities are quite rare and he didn't have any ideas on how to develop them in depth at the moment.

Even if it were to develop into a restorative ability like Retsu Unohana's, it wouldn't seem so unacceptable.

After all, as an individual, Yusuke Matsushita could be positioned as either a 'main attacker' or a 'support'.

Therefore, after comprehensive evaluation, he ultimately only proceeded with (not developing the ability to create multiple separate entities).

The reason is simple.

The battle between Shinigami is essentially a contest of spiritual pressure, while actions like creating clones that distribute spiritual power evenly...

No matter how peculiar or unique something may be, in the eyes of a master, it is nothing more than a roadside object.

This path is blocked, so it's excluded.

So……

And finally, the [Rules System]...

010: Death's Three Jobs

To be honest, Yusuke Matsushita was most looking forward to this series.

Not only because of the far-reaching impact of this series, but also because he was considering its future development.

Although Ichigo Kurosaki, whose story revolves around the theme of Bleach, maintains his characteristic of being incredibly strong and capable of "flying bricks" throughout, this does not mean that rules do not have their own stage.

Abilities like Haschwald of the Sternritter and Uryu Ishida are the best choice for dealing with those of lower rank.

Even when facing enemies far stronger than themselves, the rule-based system can maintain its own characteristics, thus leaving room for maneuver.

Having considered this part, Yusuke Matsushita just stood there scratching his head in frustration...

He pondered for a long time, then finally pursed his lips and sighed softly as if giving up.

He did not impose any constraints or requirements on this large system.

Because, overall... there's basically no such thing as 'useless' ability in the rule-based system.

Any one of them is usable; they are all of extremely high quality!

The settings for all five systems were finalized. Although Yusuke Matsushita wanted to design the appearance, he gave up after much deliberation.

After all, the unknown can also be a source of enjoyment.

'Anyway, as long as it doesn't look too abstract, I'm fine with it.'

After completing this series of arrangements, Yusuke Matsushita had already spent three months in his postgraduate studies.

In the lecture hall of a public class, he listened to the teacher on the stage explaining and outlining future arrangements.

"Those of you who aspire to become Grim Reapers, you must have all been mentally prepared before choosing this path, right? So, next, we'll begin with the various tasks of a Grim Reaper, so that you can familiarize yourselves with them before graduation..."

As mentioned before, college students usually need to clarify their future direction during their studies and begin to focus their learning in that direction.

Matsushita Yusuke's ambition was naturally to become the Grim Reaper.

Therefore, I absolutely had to attend this lecture today.

And this sounds a bit complicated. It's not just about classroom learning; it also requires practical work... This True Spiritual Arts Academy is quite down-to-earth; it doesn't act like an ivory tower.

As for internships.

This thing, which I hated so much back in college, I never imagined I'd have to taste it so badly in the world of death...

Fortunately, they don't require you to show any proof here.

Moreover, considering the work involved after starting the job, it's not surprising that he would tinker with these things in advance.

After all, in the original story, Rukia could easily be ambushed and seriously injured by a lowly Hollow while venturing into the human world...

Of course, the possibility that the Soul King is interfering cannot be ruled out, but considering the overall level of the Shinigami, as a 'violent organization', the requirements for individual strength are actually quite high.

Early practical training is beneficial for both the students and the Gotei 13.

"Uh... In terms of specific implementation, we students need to start from the following three aspects."

Wearing glasses and with a lazy expression, the teacher turned slightly to the side, tapping the words on the blackboard with his pointer, and spoke in a flat tone.

“Soul burial is a ritual to guide the souls of the deceased and to restore balance to the three realms.”

"...???"

Yusuke Matsushita, sitting in the audience, wore a puzzled expression.

That doesn't seem right.

What's wrong with you...?

Shouldn't our job as Grim Reapers be to fight and kill evil forces?

Which of these three did Ichigo Kurosaki defeat?

Of course, Matsushita Yusuke was only thinking about it... He soon understood the reasoning behind it and also completed his self-adjustment.

As mentioned before, the manga's perspective has always followed the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, as he moves forward.

Little Strawberry was never a Grim Reaper in the pure sense.

Not only did he not receive any relevant education, but even his act of stepping into the extraordinary was the result of calculation and planning by various forces.

Ichigo Kurosaki has a complicated background. There was once a meme that showed Aizen Sousuke, Isshin Kurosaki, and Habach standing outside Ichigo's window during Christmas, waiting for him to receive his Christmas presents...

The most prestigious mixed-blood in the Three Realms!

It is precisely because Ichigo Kurosaki started at such a high level that his story and his platform have always been concentrated at the literal 'highest level'.

Strawberry was destined to be someone who had no connection with the lower classes. Even after becoming a substitute Shinigami, because Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni didn't want the living to get involved in the affairs of the dead, he was rarely allowed to get involved in the affairs of the Soul Society.

Over time.

Understanding Soul Society through manga becomes extremely one-sided and simplistic.

Having figured out the logic behind it, Matsushita Yusuke now looked back at these more basic tasks with a relieved expression.

I get it, this is life!

"Take these lecture notes back with you and review them when you have time."

The pointer slammed against the blackboard, making a loud cracking sound. As if to emphasize, the teacher's tone became much stronger at this moment.

"These three newly added courses are all compulsory. Please try to make time for them and remember not to skip any! This is because it directly affects your year-end evaluation... If you don't want to fail to graduate, you have to participate properly, understand?"

What important assessment... and you're still doing calculus!

After silently complaining to himself for a while, Matsushita Yusuke quickly flipped through the documents in his hand and roughly understood the specific job content.

Soul burial.

Its main task is to guide souls from the living world to the Soul Society.

To complete this part, one needs to travel between the two realms, which is currently one of the most tedious tasks.

To guide the souls of the dead.

This job follows on from the one above, and also requires dealing with various naturally formed spirits of the dead.

People die every moment in the world, and these souls fall into the Soul Society, where they need guidance and classification... More specific details are part of the job content and are not mentioned in the handouts.

The final adjustment of the balance of the three realms seems the most general.

But when you break it down, it's actually the simplest part.

Because to sum it up in one sentence...

'Cut down anything that looks weak!'

"Void beings are evil souls with voracious appetites and the ability to devour souls. The more they consume, the more easily the balance of the three realms is disrupted... In order to maintain order, we Shinigami have never ceased our battle against these evil souls throughout history."

This is the more official explanation.

As Matsushita Yusuke listened, he nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the Soul Society's explanations of Hollows are rather one-sided... If you really want to understand them in depth, you'll have to look to Aizen Sousuke.

011: The Duties of the Fifth Division

"The Grim Reaper's three jobs? I've heard some truly thought-provoking things."

Five more days passed after I received the lecture notes.

Now that Aizen Sousuke's calligraphy class is held every week, the two of them will tacitly chat for a while in the office.

During this limited time of communication, one party had countless questions to ask, and the other party was happy to provide explanations from various perspectives, with both parties getting what they needed.

With a smile, Aizen Sousuke brewed a cup of green tea and slowly handed it to Matsushita Yusuke.

The latter quickly thanked him, sat down again, rubbed his temples, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

"Wasn't Aizen-sensei a graduate of the Spirit Arts Academy?"

The latter nodded slightly, his smile unchanged, and said.

"Well, currently, almost half of the captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13 are... no, it should be close to two-thirds. They are all graduates of the Shinigami Academy."

The number of people was surprisingly large.

But it can also be explained... after all, this academy is the only educational institution in Soul Society.

If you don't study, you'll just be a drifter, the kind who can't get a government job.

So what should we do? We still need to study...

One can only say that Yamamoto has accumulated a lot of good karma; he was hot-tempered and irritable when he was young, but he became a teacher and educator when he got old.

When it comes to dealing with people, the old guy is still more authoritative.

Closer to home.
