The only player in the world of Bleach

"What area of ​​learning does Matsushita-kun currently want to focus on?"

While the three tasks can be carried out in parallel, it is not usually done... After all, students have limited energy, and these are routine tasks that can be left for further study.

Yusuke Matsushita nodded and said without hesitation.

"I choose Mount & Blade... oh no, I choose to balance the three realms."

The process of extraditing the dead and burying souls mainly involves dealing with normal souls, which is exhausting... It would be much more satisfying to just grab them and chop them up!

Moreover, actual combat is the quickest way to improve one's skills.

Compared to learning step by step, directly entering the practical stage would likely allow Yusuke Matsushita to access more advanced missions.

Therefore, for the person involved, there is no doubt that this option has the greatest potential.

Aizen Sousuke didn't seem surprised when he heard this. He nodded slightly, and his smile deepened.

"I have a feeling... if it were Matsushita-kun, he would make the same choice."

After a brief pause, he raised his right hand and waved it gently, then smiled and said.

"Of course, I'm not saying that Matsushita-kun likes fighting or has a bad temper. I just think... Matsushita-kun should indeed focus his energy on some more important things than on theory and daily affairs."

after all……

"You do indeed possess extraordinary talent."

To be praised by the number one scumbag in the Three Realms is truly something I can't accept.

Hoo hoo hoo, I'm getting so cocky...

Suppressing his inner smugness, Matsushita Yusuke quickly composed himself and then said in a low voice.

"Aizen-sensei, actually I have some other things I'd like to ask you about today..."

Aizen Sousuke, who was blowing on the steam from his teacup, picked it up and put it down again, turning his head with a smile.

"What is it? Please speak freely."

"I heard it explained in the open class that because all three tasks involve practical operations, the people accompanying you after the internship will not be teachers from the college."

They are actually members of the Gotei 13!

"I'd like to know... which team will be the one to take us newbies on our internship?"

"I see, Matsushita-kun is interested in this."

Aizen Sousuke lowered his gaze, gently rubbing his chin with his right hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

It was only after a while that he spoke in a low voice.

"Speaking of this... does Matsushita-kun know what specific duties the Gotei 13 are responsible for?"

Don't answer questions with questions!

But in reality, Matsushita Yusuke had never really thought about this...

Aside from Mayuri Kurotsuchi's technology development bureau, Matsushita Yusuke had absolutely no idea what the other squads were responsible for or what their duties entailed.

After all, there weren't many opportunities to learn about it, and after arriving here, everyone focused their attention on other things.

I feel a little ashamed.

I briefly explained the situation to Aizen, who remained smiling and seemed unsurprised by the answer.

"Let's take this opportunity to do some basic education. After all, these are common knowledge among the Gotei 13."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, this was actually a warning to Yusuke Matsushita.

—You better remember this, kid!

First Division General Affairs, Second Division Covert Operations, Third Division Support...

This was the first time Matsushita Yusuke had encountered similar content, so he listened to the whole thing in a daze and only managed to remember a vague outline.

"Let me test you, Matsushita-kun... What are the duties of my Fifth Division?"

Ah, I understand.

"Rescue team."

In terms of job attributes and main responsibilities...

"A special squad primarily used for emergency response, providing rescue and assistance in various unforeseen situations."

"Yes, that's a very good answer."

Aizen Sousuke smiled and nodded, then added his explanation.

"Many people mistakenly believe that the function of the Fifth Division is similar to that of the Fourth Division because both have keywords such as 'rescue' and 'healing'. But that is not actually the case."

Raise your hand and gently push up your glasses.

Aizen's tone was calm, as if he were a third party stating an objective and certain fact.

"Our Fifth Division's main job is 'helping'. We will certainly carry out rescue work when needed, but our main focus is on emergency response."

in other words.

"In urgent situations, we will go to rescue, fight, and also take the initiative to maintain order... Just like firefighters, our duty is to be the reserve force behind the first echelon."

The explanation is very detailed.

As expected of the fifth division captain after Hirako stepped down?

These understandings and statements alone are enough to show that Aizen Sousuke did not regard his role as vice-captain as merely a formality.

He must have genuinely put in the effort to try to understand, learn, and adapt.

Thinking about this, Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

I never expected to encounter characters that don't even exist in the original work.

Admittedly, this could just be part of Aizen's acting... but in any case, at least there's no conflict of interest between the two sides right now.

"Alright, enough of that. Let's get back to the point."

Aizen Sousuke blinked his glasses, pondered briefly, and then spoke softly.

"As I understand it, the squad that will take over this responsibility and undertake the internship directing work should be..."

012: Yoruichi Shihouin

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The start date for my internship is fast approaching.

On this day, Matsushita Yusuke got up very early, dressed up neatly, and also did a round of 'morning lessons'.

In reality, it's simply practicing and reinforcing swordsmanship by swinging the sword in the air in one's own dormitory room.

Although the person involved also had the task system as an aid, after testing, Yusuke Matsushita quickly realized that there were some things that the system could not do.

That is the issue of mastering and controlling the proficiency of skills...

For example, the Ghost Path, which I had already learned before.

After acquiring and mastering some unique skills, Yusuke Matsushita himself still needed time to study and explore them.

In particular, the power after shortening the chanting time must be considered in actual combat. Only by making the right choice at the right time can one achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Practice and theory are two completely different things.

Yusuke Matsushita will not be arrogant, nor will he let his guard down completely just because he has the system...

After all, the world of death doesn't follow any logic, and who knows if my ability to travel here is another manifestation of the Soul King's great hand?

It's hard to explain... so just be careful.

After finishing a series of morning classes and quickly washing up, Yusuke Matsushita jogged towards the teaching building.

Today is homework time.

However, time is still allotted for mobilization and preparation before the operation begins.

Upon arriving at the classroom, the sheer number of approximately three hundred students was astonishing… Matsushita Yusuke found a corner to stand in, surveying his surroundings while inwardly marveling at the scene.

'To save trouble, should we just gather everyone together regardless of grade level and start the operation? That would be very cost-effective…'

The person who came up with this internship method is truly a management genius.

Only about a quarter of the first-year students volunteer to become the Grim Reaper.

Now, after being categorized into three different jobs, the number of people who were contemporaries of Yusuke Matsushita can be counted on two hands.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very familiar with these people... so after hesitating for a moment, Matsushita Yusuke decided to be alone.

He doesn't have many friends.

It's not only because the person involved doesn't have the desire to do so, but also because they simply don't have the time.

—I'm too busy drawing prizes in class to joke around with you extras.

Aizen Sousuke had mentioned this issue before, intentionally or unintentionally. Now it seems that he may have found some of his own reflection in Matsushita Yusuke.

Thoughts drifted, but not long afterward.

soon……

As the sound of footsteps grew louder, Yusuke Matsushita turned his head and looked towards the podium.

The instructor from the Shinigami Academy followed behind the other person with a respectful expression, his fawning manner almost unbelievable... At least Matsushita Yusuke had never seen such a face before.

Walking ahead of him was a man of broad build and strong, muscular appearance.

Hearing the constant noise behind him, he frowned and glared back as if he found it annoying.

The latter let out a 'yah' sound, like a hiccup, and stood still, not daring to breathe even a fraction of an inch more.

Using your eyes to scare people? Then who is this expert?!

"Omaeda, don't scare people!"

The figure walking in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and punched the broad-skinned man in the shoulder.

The movement was small, but it allowed the latter to quickly compose his expression, nod in acknowledgment, and respond in a low voice.

"Understood, Lord Yoruichi."

A woman with a ponytail, wearing a haori (a traditional Japanese garment), and a graceful figure leaped onto the stage.

She stood in a high position, looking down at the crowd with her hands on her hips, her eyebrows and eyes pointing upwards at an intense angle, and her tone became unusually excited.

"My lords! I am Yoruichi Shihōin, the captain of the Second Division who is leading you on this internship! Well... nice to meet you!"

Yoruichi Shihōin!

Yoruichi, the dark-skinned, intelligent older sister from the original work, who provided me with a lot of help when Ichigo Kurosaki first came into contact with Soul Society!

Although I had a general idea of ​​the arrangements and specific personnel during my previous conversation with Aizen, this was, after all, the first time I'd seen them in person…

It's hard not to get excited.

As a popular character with a long history of dark skin, Matsushita Yusuke used to like her.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was the woman who sparked Yusuke Matsushita's interest in dark-skinned female characters; back then, just looking at her was incredibly erotic...

Her character design and specific content are more than enough to support her great face.

Powerful, mysterious, of noble birth, and its prestige has never diminished.

She even starred alongside Soi Fon in a romantic drama that evoked both heartbreak and sympathy, leading many to suspect that their relationship might be more complex than it initially appeared.

In short, to be able to see Yoruichi Shihouin under these circumstances would be worth dying for!

just.

'It doesn't seem to have the same dashing feel as when it first appeared in the original story?'

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, if we follow the original storyline, Yoruichi Shihouin is also a victim of the Visored incident, and in a sense, she has experienced 'betrayal'.

Wouldn't the older sister, after growing up again, be even more 'mature'?

At the same time, Matsushita Yusuke was beginning to understand the attitude shown by the teachers at the Spirit Arts Academy.

noble.

These two words carry far more weight in the Soul Society than just a figure of speech.
