Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training

The sound of running water came from outside the French window.

After a pause of about three breaths, a crisp sound of falling suddenly arose.

It was the echo of the green bamboo filled with running water, knocking on the bluestone.

The bamboo, which was just full of water, spit out the weight... The green bamboo, which was forced to adjust its center of gravity, raised one end again.

Arima Jing couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at the side beside him.

"..."

What came into view was a well-decorated and elegant courtyard.

The bamboo seesaw used to connect the running water hung down and stilts.

With the momentum of a cycle, it made a staccato and intersecting sound of falling, like some kind of old antique.

With a clumsy and natural sound.

To record the passage of time.

Tap, tap, tap...

The short footsteps came from outside the door, causing Arima Jing to retract his eyes and turn his head inside.

There was a sound of splashing.

A woman wearing a simple kimono was kneeling outside the door. She had a pretty face, although there were traces of wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and cheeks.

But this level of weathering did not show the slightest vicissitudes of life.

One could only feel that something called time was leaving simple traces on her face...

At this moment, she was respectfully saluting Arima Shizuya.

"Are you Mr. Arima Shizuya who will be here for internship today?"

Facing the respectful attitude of the other party, Arima Shizuya did not mean to be arrogant at all. She immediately exchanged gifts and said politely.

"Yes, I am Arima Shizuya who submitted an application five days ago and hoped to come to the Sixth Division for internship."

That's right.

It has been nearly a week since I communicated with Kotetsu Kiyone before.

The blockade of the Soul Society is still continuing.

But just as the prison master and Ma Shizuya predicted before, this kind of thing would not last long.

Now if it is not released, many people will start to have opinions.

Although old man Yamamoto has a rather pedantic temper, he is not so stubborn that he will not listen to others.

Things have dragged on to this point without any results, so naturally there is only compromise.

Thanks to this.

As the "culprit", Arima Shizuya can continue to come out for internship.

And the destination of this trip is exactly the answer he found after thinking for a long time.

"Lord Kuchiki has already known your arrival. Next, please follow me to the front of the hall... Is there any inconvenience at the moment?"

There are so many tricks to lead the way.

It can only be said that the style and philosophy of this team are placed in the different thirteen teams...

They can all stand out like a crane among chickens, highlighting their extraordinary uniqueness.

Arima Shizuya put his hands on both sides of his waist, his knees on the ground, and supported his legs to lean back slightly.

Until he supported his whole body and stood up.

"Please lead the way."

The other party seemed to be quite fond of Arima Shizuya's attitude and style, and the warm smile on his face was even more intense at this moment.

"My duty."

Walking on the wide corridor.

Arima Shizuka also passed through two front yards, walked along the aisle where the sun was constantly shining, and finally came to a Japanese-style room with a rather simple style.

The other party also bowed slightly to Arima Shizuka and made a rather polite gesture.

Having done the relevant homework in advance... Arima Shizuka also stepped aside tacitly and lowered his head.

Among the nobles, the saying of "don't look at anything indecent" is the most popular.

Since she is a visitor, she should also put herself in a proper position... Anyway, she is here for internship, so she will just broaden her horizons.

Because she can't see, Arima Shizuka can only hear the rustling noises coming from the front.

The sound of sliding doors, greetings, exchanges.

The footsteps are getting closer...

"Arima-kun, Lord Kuchiki invites you."

Done!

The person concerned answered and finally raised his head at this moment.

The scene inside the Japanese-style room came into view.

As the first image was, the layout of the room had nothing to do with luxury or glamour.

The only thing visible was a long table for kneeling.

And a huge painting placed on the side wall opposite the entrance.

Black words on white paper.

A traditional Chinese character for "kua" was depicted in it.

The surrounding layout and scene were simple and generous. Even after seeing it clearly, Arima Jing also moved his eyes.

Turned to the figure sitting behind the long table.

That was...

an elderly man who looked very serious and serious.

The long silver-white hair was neatly combed to the back of his head.

The beard was thick and slender, and the cheeks without any extra skin and flesh showed an unusual sense of majesty.

After just a moment of observation, Arima Jing saw that the other party raised his head and fixed his eyes on him.

"It's the first time we meet, Arima Shizuya."

"My name is Kuchiki Ginrei."

"As you can see, I was the captain of the 6th Division and the 27th head of the Kuchiki family."

The tone was calm and peaceful.

It was as if he was stating an indisputable fact.

Arima Shizuya folded his hands on both sides of his body, with his sheathed Zanpakutō tucked between his waist, held in his right hand and slightly raised.

The young man saluted respectfully and introduced himself.

"It's the first time we meet, Captain Kuchiki."

"I'm Arima Shizuya."

"Please advise me."

If this was the first place for her internship, Arima Shizuka might be a little nervous.

After all, compared to him, she was as simple as a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.

But there is a saying that goes, everything is afraid of comparison.

After undergoing such rigorous training from old man Yamamoto, Arima Shizuka has now reached a state of calmness.

Isn't it just an old man who scares people... Don't be afraid, anyway, he may not be able to beat me now.

He was thinking about it, and his expression on his face naturally did not change at all.

But such a response fell into Kuchiki Ginrei's eyes, but he couldn't help but smile a little.

"I see, what Yoruichi said is indeed true."

"......?"

Oh?

How can there be a matter of Yoruichi Shifengyuan?

Before Arima Shizuka asked anything, Kuchiki Ginrei had already said with a chuckle.

"You may not know this, but Yoruichi has already written to me in advance. She said that you are a trustworthy newcomer and a pillar of the Soul Society in the future."

"Since we are both nobles, I will provide some necessary help to this rising star."

"The above is the message Yoruichi left me."

It would be a lie to say that I was not touched.

After all, Arima Shizuka never thought that Shihouin Yoruichi would help her to this extent.

But before she even had time to say some words of thanks in her heart, Kuchiki Ginryo had already restrained his expression.

And at this moment, he reached out his hand into his arms.

"As the captain of the Sixth Division, I will naturally be generous in teaching you, a student who comes here for internship."

"After all, in martial arts and practice, there should be no distinction between high and low."

As he said this, Kuchiki Ginryo took out a handwritten letter and placed it on the wooden table at this moment.

"This is the letter sent to me by Genryusai Yamamoto."

"Young man... do you know what's written in it?"

This...

Could it be related to me again?

In suspicion, Arima Shizuka also said carefully.

"What did Captain Yamamoto ask you to do?"

"He asked me to pay special attention to you and to pay more attention to your growth in other aspects."

Ah...

Mr. Yamamoto, do you have nothing to do on weekdays? !

The news that I came to the Sixth Division for internship was actually known to the other party. Is the so-called Captain-General's job such an idle job on weekdays?

As his thoughts condensed, a man who was lying in the arms of a geisha and sipping sake couldn't help but sneeze at this moment.

"A-choo..."

"Ah, what's wrong, do you have a cold?"

Reaching out and pressing his red and itchy nose, Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile.

"Ahaha, how could that be~ It must be some cute little girl who is thinking about me again."

"You still have me by your side, why do you still say such hurtful words? Tears can't help but fall."

Kyoraku Shunsui, who was lying on his back, smiled calmly.

"Flowers covered with dew also have a strange beauty."

"You are really good at talking, so let's drink two more cups?"

"Hehe, it's just a small thing~"

...

"Come in, take a seat, Arima Shizuya."

Kuchiki Ginrei raised his right hand and pointed to the seat in front of him.

Arima Shizuya had no room to refuse, so he nodded and took a seat.

The atmosphere between the two was not too stiff.

Although I thought the Sixth Division was a very sophisticated place...but now it seems that the other party is just a more old-fashioned and conservative old man?

Hmm.

In any case, at least he should be easier to get along with than old man Yamamoto.

While thinking, Arima Shizuya also heard the other party ask.

"Arima Shizuya, do you know what the nickname of our Sixth Division is?"

What kind of pop test...

Is there any punishment for answering incorrectly?

"It should be... the noble command team?"

"Hehe, you are somewhat prepared, and you are right."

Kuchiki Ginrei raised his right hand horizontally and stood it upright in front of him. The rest of his fingers were all curled up... but only the index finger was standing upright.

As if emphasizing something, Kuchiki Ginrei said slowly.

"The work of the Sixth Division is different from that of the other Thirteenth Divisions of the Gotei."

"Although it is also the responsibility of the Gotei, when there is a choice, the Sixth Division's top priority is to deal with the nobles."

"There is a prison for prisoners in the squad room. Do you know what this means?"

Arima Shizuya's brain is not that slow, and he quickly understood the other party's intention.

"The Sixth Division... has the power of law enforcement independent of other divisions?"

Ah~ Speaking of this, I remember it.

When Rukia was captured and returned to Soul Society, she did have a similar imprisonment scene.

However

That place is not a prison in the popular sense, managed by the 9th Division.

It is a place of detention unique to the 6th Division...

I thought it was a bit inhumane at first, but after thinking about it, it is also "gentle" in a sense.

After all.

"For the affairs between the nobles, try to understand the whole situation among the nobles... Is this what you want to say?"

This is the uniqueness of the 6th Division.

After hearing what Arima Shizuya said, Kuchiki Ginrei's lips trembled slightly, and at this moment he just sighed calmly.

"As expected of the talent recommended by the two of you, he is indeed outstanding."

Thank you for the compliment. I just defeated a captain-level figure a few days ago~

"The general content is just as you said just now. The Sixth Division has the most unique law enforcement power."

"That is why, as the captain of the Sixth Division, you must enforce the law impartially and always maintain clarity and absolute rationality."

"Did you hear all I said?"

...?

Although it was a little late.

But Arima Shizuya also felt that these words were not spoken to him.

The next moment, there was a crash.

The sliding door on the side was pulled open, and a young man in training clothes and a handsome appearance was waiting outside the door respectfully in a noble sitting posture.

"I have heard it, Lord Ginrei."

"That's good."

The serious old man did not even turn his head.

He just raised his left hand calmly, just like he had instructed Arima Shizuya just now.

At this moment, he pointed to the left front of him.

"You should take a seat too, Byakuya."

I always felt that the old man just said an incredible name in a very calm tone.

Although I wanted to keep myself calm.

But at this time, I couldn't help but be curious.

Arima Shizuya couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at the figure in his diagonal direction.

Kuchiki Byakuya.

A character who has a lot of ink in the original work and also has very distinctive personal characteristics.

At this moment, he appeared next to Arima Shizuya.

Appearance...

Compared with the cold appearance in the original line, Byakuya at this moment is obviously a little more immature.

His long hair is not hanging down, but tied up high like the tail feathers of a horse, which looks very bright.

From the appearance alone, he is a very handsome and energetic young man.

But.

At this moment, his brows are tightly furrowed.

But this unique sense of youth was completely crushed and smashed.

On this ruin called temperament, Arima Shizuka could only feel the breath called "sorrow" at this moment.

The other party did not notice his sight, and Kuchiki Ginrei beside him continued to speak.

"Kuchiki Byakuya."

"Arima Shizuka."

"From today on, you will receive knowledge about nobles under my hands, and you also need to exercise diligently, and you must not neglect your practice."

"Yes!"

Kuchiki Byakuya responded decisively, and his expression also had a very firm feeling.

But Arima Shizuka next to him was stunned for a moment as if he was surprised.

So much so that he did not respond at this moment.

The grandfather and grandson looked at him at the same time.

"Arima Shizuka, what's wrong."

No, no, no, I want to ask why...

Originally, I just wanted to come for a visit, and finally I was familiar with your Kuchiki family.

Why is there an additional course on nobles now?

Ah? Ten generations of my family name have nothing to do with the word "noble"!

As if he understood the other party's thoughts in an instant, Kuchiki Ginrei said in a calm tone.

"Don't worry too much... Considering the expectations of those two, it's only a matter of time before you become the captain in the future."

"And the captain will also have to deal with nobles, so learn some necessary knowledge in advance as a backup."

"It won't make any jokes in the future."

For such a simple reason, do you want me to waste my time here?

Because I'm not very willing.

So I still want to struggle now.

Arima Shizuka also stammered for a while, and then said in a low voice.

"That... Excuse me, Captain Kuchiki. Can you ask me a question?"

"You can ask it at any time."

"How long will this time last?"

If it's a month or so, it's still acceptable.

Then it can be completed before the end of the year.

Take some time to visit other squads and gain some experience.

——If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the 4th Division.

Although Captain Unohana Retsu with dead eyes is scary, there is a sweet and soft Yuune to hug...

Ginrei Kuchiki thought for a moment, then turned to look at Byakuya Kuchiki next to him.

"Wait until this child is old enough to take on the role of the 28th head of the Kuchiki family."
