Who are you calling a stable boy?!

These young Shinigami couldn't understand why their captain seemed so familiar with the outermost part of Rukongai.

"Keep moving forward, there may still be survivors."

Before the young members of the Fourth Division could think further, the woman with a face as kind as a bodhisattva took another step.

As the captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana usually stays in the barracks. After all, if she has to go to the front line, it must be because something major has happened that could shake the entire Soul Society.

However, today's situation is special.

She received a special mission from the Chief Commander, which was relayed from the 46th Division, requesting that she personally make the trip.

After successfully completing her mission, she was preparing to return directly to report to the Captain-Commander, but halfway there she discovered a distress signal that should have come from a member of the Third Division.

Although the mission she was in charge of this time was special, it was not classified. As the executor, Retsu Unohana was not instructed to conceal her whereabouts, so she did not hesitate and immediately changed direction to come to the rescue.

Running across the streets, stepping on rooftops, a few minutes later, when Retsu Unohana and several team members arrived at the scene following the distress signal, the sight there made even the Grim Reapers stop in their tracks.

Along the long street, the bodies of more than a dozen thugs lay scattered about, some with their heads smashed by heavy objects, others torn in two by some immense force...

At first glance, it looks as if a raging Hollow had just wreaked havoc here.

At the end of this bloody scene, a man with four arms was squatting in the corner, doing something unknown.

"Ok?"

Zheng Jing turned around and immediately saw the Grim Reapers standing on the rooftop.

Turning his head again, he asked the dying Grim Reaper in front of him, "Hey! Are all the people up there people you know?"

"Uh......"

Sitting against the wall, the Third Division member let out a weak, muffled sound from his throat.

Upon hearing Zheng Jing's voice, he opened his heavy eyelids and saw the members of the Fourth Division, led by Unohana Retsu.

He nodded vigorously at Zheng Jing.

"Then don't just stand there watching, come down and lend a hand. He's badly injured, I can only do some emergency measures to keep him alive."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing withdrew his hand from the chest of the Third Division member and stepped aside.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Fourth Division all instinctively looked at Retsu Unohana.

Seeing that Unohana Retsu nodded, they immediately sprang into action, jumping off the roof and running toward the Third Division member.

Meanwhile, Retsu Unohana herself silently leaped down, slightly narrowing her eyes and gazing at Jung Kyung with a gentle smile.

"......"

With his back to Unohana Retsu, Jeong Kyung wiped his forehead, which was completely dry.

No, why is the intensity so high right from the start?

When Zheng Jing rescued the 3rd Division soldier who was being besieged, he immediately realized from the soldier's clothing, especially the light-colored halberd, that the courtyard had come to him.

But he felt that this rescue would at most result in encountering some officials who came to his aid.

When the time comes, he'll unleash his extraordinary talent and might just land a special admission to the True Central Academy of Spiritual Arts, reliving his school days in another world—

But now, let alone being a genius in the Grim Reaper, he's probably going to be beaten to his knees by the super-powerful black braided older sister behind him who's radiating murderous aura!

I unexpectedly encountered the first Kenpachi while out and about, but despite my best efforts, I couldn't defeat him...

—Wait, can I call you "older sister"?

Zheng Jing blinked a few times.

To be honest, given Retsu Unohana's age, calling her "Grandma" is an understatement.

"What's your name?"

Upon hearing Unohana Retsu's question, Zheng Jing almost choked back the word "Grandma" that he had just blurted out.

He slowly turned around, grinning as he greeted Retsu Unohana.

"Hey, me? My name is Zheng Jing."

"Zheng Jing".

Calling out Zheng Jing's name, Unohana Retsu suddenly walked towards Zheng Jing.

The overwhelming killing intent caused golden flames to silently ignite in Zheng Jing's eyes.

Step by step, until the distance between them was so close that Jung Kyung could reach out and touch Unohana Retsu, Unohana Retsu finally stopped.

"Did you do all of this?"

Zheng Jing did not answer immediately.

He scratched his cheek, his eyes darted around, and he turned to the side, taking the initiative to get closer to Unohana Retsu.

"Are there any here that we can't kill?"

In an instant, the murderous aura dissipated under the blazing sun.

The crimson color in Unohana's relentless smile vanished abruptly, leaving only a flower-like beauty.

"Zheng Jing".

She smiled and called Zheng Jing's name again.

"Do you want to join the Gotei 13?"

Chapter Sixty: Continue to mature, and meet at the summit!

Unohana Retsu's voice wasn't deliberately lowered, so the Fourth Division members who were treating the Third Division member nearby naturally heard it as well.

In an instant, two people looked at Zheng Jing.

They never expected their captain to suddenly invite such a seemingly dangerous stranger.

Zheng Jing hadn't expected this either.

"Me? The Gotei 13?"

He shrank back slightly and turned to look at Retsu Unohana.

"Really, sister?"

Unohana Retsu chuckled softly.

"What's so difficult about that? However, the court has its own rules and regulations. You still need to enter the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy for further studies. Once you graduate, you can join the Thirteenth Guardian Squad."

"Oh? Hehe! That's great, really great!"

Zheng Jing was genuinely happy.

Although it seemed like he had gone around in circles, he still managed to get the opportunity to enter the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy.

Moreover, with Retsu Unohana's recommendation, he wouldn't need to worry about the intricacies of the enrollment process.

The rest depends on his abilities.

Hey!

Zheng Jing is really good at this!

As for why he accepted Retsu Unohana's invitation to join the Shinigami Academy...

Then let me ask you this: if you were thrown directly into Soul Society by the garden and ran into the first Kenpachi right from the start, would anyone think they could become the king of Rukongai?

Once you enter the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy, regardless of how many years it will take to graduate, given the differences in time flow between planes, you'll at least be able to learn some techniques and skills related to slaying fists and roaming ghosts.

Using the Heavenly Martial Furnace to burn materials in front of a projector does cost extra, but if Zheng Jing doesn't use the Heavenly Martial Furnace, the courtyard won't charge him any extra fees for the skills and techniques he learns.

Furthermore, even if you can't truly learn it, you can simply copy the techniques and skills, and then use the Heavenly Martial Furnace when you get home. That's another way to go.

Where does sedimentation not occur?

Zheng Jing wants to continue to mature and reflect!

The throne of heaven, let's meet at the summit!

-

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Of course I have something to do.

—Upon seeing the curly-haired, smiling, bespectacled man enter his field of vision after the dormitory door opened, Zheng Jing's ever-present smile froze for a moment.

Without replying, Zheng Jing took a step back while holding the bedding he had just received. He looked up at the dormitory room number and, after confirming that it was 404, which the dormitory supervisor had told him about, he turned his gaze back to the handsome young man with a gentle smile in front of him.

After entering Seireitei with Retsu Unohana, Zheng Jing became a transfer student at the Shinigami Academy on Retsu Unohana's recommendation.

To be more precise, he was only a prospective transfer student.

The Shinigami Academy has a fixed enrollment period each year. Since he came in with Unohana Retsu, he had obviously missed this year's enrollment. However, since he has Unohana Retsu's recommendation, the academy will arrange an entrance examination for Zheng Jing early tomorrow morning.

It's called an assessment, but it's just a formality.

He has already completed the check-in procedures and can now move directly into the student dormitory.

The dormitory conditions at the Shinigami Academy are not bad, with most rooms shared by two people. So, after receiving the key and knowing the room number, Zheng Jing asked the dormitory supervisor what kind of person his roommate was.

According to the dormitory supervisor, she is a kind person who makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

At the time, Zheng Jing didn't think much about it. He just thought it was good. After all, it was lucky not to encounter any strange people in the school dormitory. If he could meet good people, it would be a blessing earned through his past good deeds.

But nobody told him he was such a good person!

"My name is Zheng Jing. I just enrolled today and was assigned to this dormitory."

"Oh, it's you. I've heard about you."

The handsome man smiled and nodded, stepping aside.

"I am Aizen Sousuke, welcome."

Are you really welcoming me, bro?

No, it's one thing to send him almost directly to Unohana Retsu, but why is it during Aizen's school hours?

Is the pressure really that great?

What happened to our promise to meet at the summit of the Throne of Heaven?

Could it be that the pinnacle of my Zheng Jing's career is this True Central Spiritual Arts Academy?

"Aizen-senpai, what year are you in this year?"

As Zheng Jing walked into the dormitory, he asked.

"Like you, I also just enrolled this year, so don't call me senior, just call me Sousuke."

Oh no, it could be Aizen Lily.

Wait, wasn't Aizen Lily not as insane as she became later?

Thinking this, Zheng Jing blinked.

"Then you can call me Lao Zheng!"

They chatted back and forth, and Aizen even helped Zheng Jing tidy up his bed. The two talked about the Shinigami Academy for a while. Zheng Jing realized that no matter what Aizen would do in the future, at least for now, he was truly the perfect roommate.

To put it more bluntly, he is a representative figure of dormitory dadism.

—In other words, he is so perfect that he absolutely deserves to be called godfather.

"Hey, Lao Lan!"

Holding Aizen's hand, Zheng Jing patted the back of his hand.

"You really are a good person!"

With a somewhat helpless smile, Aizen said softly to Zheng Jing, "Old Zheng, although I don't mind you calling me that so affectionately, it's best not to do it when you meet other classmates at the academy."

"In this True Central Spiritual Arts Academy, there are also many students from noble families. If you greet them too enthusiastically, they may not appreciate it, and you may get into trouble."

"I understand, I understand! I, Old Zheng, would never do something like offering a warm face to a cold backside! Bad luck, bad luck!"

Zheng Jing released Aizen and waved his hand forcefully.

"Oh, by the way, Old Lan, are there any students like me in the academy—"

Zheng Jing raised his second pair of arms from his shoulders and waved them at Aizen.

"A particularly special student?"
