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

Looking at Byakuya Kuchiki not far away, holding his chest and taking a long breath before he could barely stand up.

Arima Shizuka couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Although it was a sparring match, it was actually a one-sided "crush"... Sometimes, although I wanted to hold back, it was still difficult to maintain the appropriate level.

"Sorry, did I give you a choke?"

Kuchiki Byakuya wanted to speak.

But he just held his chest and gasped, and after two seconds, he spoke stutteringly.

"No, I'm fine..."

No, no, no, it's obvious that I was too heavy-handed...

Arima Shizuka's special training time will not last too long.

Because it was not arranged in the schedule, it usually only lasts for more than ten minutes.

The original intention was just to serve as a summary before the end, so that the body that had become stiff due to deliberate noble training... could return to a state that was convenient for fighting.

So.

'Just relax a little, don't take it too seriously. '

But even so.

Kuchiki Byakuya still went all out every time.

Perhaps due to her personality, Shizuka Arima couldn't say anything... and naturally couldn't act too perfunctory.

"So, do you want to continue?"

Kuchiki Byakuya, who stood up in a panic, adjusted his breathing, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at Shizuka Arima in front of him.

"Yes! Please continue to teach me!"

... So stubborn.

But this is also the charm of the man named Kuchiki Byakuya.

In this way, you can only try your best to "guide" the other party.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No matter when you hear the sound of wooden swords colliding, there is a dull and unusual sense of solemnity.

Shizuka Arima took on Byakuya Kuchiki's attack with a normal expression, his movements were light and his expression was normal.

It can be seen that this guy is not feeling any pressure at all now.

The strength of both sides is also not at the same level.

"The action and intention are too obvious, don't be so rigid."

"It's just a simple induction. Mistakes like before can be avoided."

"In addition... ah, there is this."

The explanation itself is a very casual behavior.

There is no pattern.

So naturally, he talked about whatever he thought of-Arima Shizuka also moved sideways, dodged the attack, turned the wooden sword, and followed the posture of Kuchiki Byakuya's half-raised hands...

Directly stabbed the opponent's wrist.

Puff...

A light sound, obviously without much effort.

But even so, Kuchiki Byakuya still showed a painful expression and subconsciously took a half step back.

The right hand suddenly felt weak.

Quickly changing hands to hold the sword, while keeping the posture intact, Kuchiki Byakuya took the time to glance at the injury.

The contact surface suddenly swelled up, numbness and tingling coexisted, but it was not to the point of being unable to move.

Grit his teeth.

Kuchiki Byakuya readjusted his stance and looked at the other party carefully and cautiously.

Arima Shizuka just smiled calmly, swinging the wooden sword in his hand and said lightly.

"There is still room for adjustment in the holding posture... Is it because of habit? This style of posture has many flaws."

"If it is a real battle, it will cause big problems. Try to make adjustments."

"By the way... This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to experience the posture of holding the sword with one hand?"

"If possible, I can also teach you something else by the way."

There is no reason to refuse.

I came here with a desire to learn.

"Please do so!"

Very energetic.

Swinging the wooden sword, Arima Shizuka also turned sideways and laughed loudly.

"Then attack!"

Lift it up, move forward!

Even with only one hand left to move freely, Kuchiki Byakuya still couldn't retreat half a step.

Seeing this, Arima Shizuya suddenly remembered the classic image in the original work...

Injured in various ways, frustrated, and unable to fight.

In the end, he could still keep a straight face, just like sticking his neck out and saying "hiss~ it doesn't hurt".

Although it is indeed admirable, at the same time...

It is a bit too pitiful.

He is arrogant and has strength, but it is really sigh-worthy compared to the first-line ones.

This situation is also a torture for the person involved.

'So it's not a bad thing to teach him more now. '

After all, the camps of Dabai are still very clear, and this guy is a typical cold-faced but warm-hearted guy.

It is also a character that Arima Shizuya likes very much.

Lightly deflecting a vertical slash, Arima Shizuya stepped forward sideways and pretended to reach out to grab the collar of Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Then you have to watch and learn the next thing carefully."

Kuchiki Byakuya's expression suddenly became serious.

Close-range suppression?

Although this practice is not rare, it is indeed surprising when it occurs occasionally.

But I am not so easy to deal with.

After all, if they are close to this distance, then the competition between the two sides is not just about kendo skills.

Close combat... Bai hit!

After all, he is also the next generation of the Kuchiki family. Byakuya took a deep breath and threw all the wooden swords in his hand.

The opponent's original intention was to suppress his offensive, but on the other hand, Kuchiki Byakuya could also take advantage of this point.

There was a time difference.

‘Two hands against one, the advantage is mine! ’

His left hand shot directly in front of him, knocking Arima Shizuya's arm aside.

Take another half step forward and close the distance to the point where it is difficult for the opponent to raise his hand - here it is!

Squeeze your shoulders and move your arms... Although the tingling sensation on your right hand is still there, it's not a problem to hold it back for a while.

As long as the grappling posture is formed, he can then directly use his weight to pin Arima Shizuya to the ground!

Seeing the slight surprise on the other person's expression, Kuchiki Byakuya was inevitably a little happy at the moment.

After all, this was the first time in recent days that he had the upper hand.

So.

Is he about to win?

Such thoughts just came to mind.

But the next moment, Kuchiki Byakuya saw Arima Shizuya showing a rather helpless expression.

"No, you guy..."

Why?

What's the meaning?

"Did I just say that?"

"Don't be so excited just because you gain power."

after all.

"It's just a simple inducement."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shizuya Arima took a half step sideways and kicked the inside of Byakuya Kuchiki's knee.

Varied……

There was no time to say anything.

Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly fell to the ground, unable to maintain his original grabbing posture at this moment.

The cost of destroying the center of gravity is so great that there is no way to resist at this moment.

Arima Shizuo also took the opportunity to step forward, directly grabbed Kuchiki Byakuya's hands and pinned him to the ground.

"Are you focusing on the movements of your upper body? That's why the movements of your feet are ignored."

"Sometimes you have to think more, Byakuya."

"The opponent's flaw may not be the opportunity they found, but the trap they lured you into."

Kuchiki Byakuya opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

But a familiar voice came from not far away.

"That's the truth."

"Byakuya, you are qualified to be a noble."

"But if you want to become the next leader, you still need to continue to hone your skills."

This movement... Kuchiki Byakuya immediately raised his head and couldn't help but show a rather surprised expression.

I saw Kuchiki Ginrei standing on the corridor with his arms crossed.

The expression on his face was still serious, but the look in his pupils showed more traces of emotion.

His grandfather was already in front of him, but he was still holding him down like a prisoner, which seemed to be a bit blind.

Arima Shizuo also took half a step back, put the wooden sword at his waist, and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Kuchiki."

Kuchiki Byakuya stood up and knelt down on the ground with a rather nervous expression.

"Lord Yinling!"

The tone was tense.

But there's a reason for that - just because the boss is gone doesn't mean others can be lawless.

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't act according to the established arrangement, so it would be fine if it wasn't known.

But now that everything has been exposed, there is naturally no room for maneuver.

"This is my idea alone. Please don't, Lord Yinling..."

"Shut up."

Thousands of words were stuck in my throat, and I had to swallow them all now.

As the current head of the family, Kuchiki Ginling’s ‘power’ is so great.

He seemed to have temporarily ignored the nervous Kuchiki Byakuya. At this moment, his eyes turned, but they were focused on Arima Shizuya.

"What a superb skill, Arima-kun."

It's not a polite emotion, but a heartfelt recognition.

The look in Kuchiki Ginling's eyes was full of appreciation, and he even whispered at this moment.

"Although my incompetent grandson is mediocre in ability, he is still a guy who I have carefully taught."

"But in front of you."

"Kendo, Bai Da, Shunpo... these three skills, but none of them are cheap."

"What a genius... Arima Shizuya, you really impress me."

That's not true.

I don’t even look at the attribute values ​​​​of my friends...

[Cut: 68] [Punch: 77] [Go: 63]

If you change your captain to a less experienced one and try these basic skills with me, the other party may not be your match.

What's more, this Byakuya Kuchiki is still a 'three good young men'?

Failure is human nature and is not worth making sarcastic remarks about.

"I will not investigate what you did. As this useless boy said, you were forced to compromise."

Kuchiki Ginling stepped into the courtyard with a calm tone as usual.

"So the responsibility lies with him. Arima-kun doesn't need to worry at all."

Is this posture meant to create some tricks for Dabai...

Arima Shizuya couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Although I don't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, let alone such a noble among nobles.

Presumably there are not too few rules and regulations in it, so the best option is naturally to sit back and watch.

but……

It is really not the style of the person involved to sit back and watch at this time.

Even if you just say something to prop up the scene, you still have to express your stance.

Just when the person involved wants to say something.

Kuchiki Ginrei was already standing in front of Byakuya.

"Let me ask you, why do you force Shizuya Arima to spar with you?"

"..."

"Don't consider the other person's mood and do whatever you want. Is this what Cangchun and I taught you?"

"..."

"You should grow up a little, Byakuya."

"...I'm so sorry."

Ah~

Is this how nobles teach people a lesson?

It's hundreds of times more lethal than cursing directly.

I can only say that well-educated people are different. These unpleasant words are like stabbing people's hearts.

As for the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.

Now standing in the perspective of marginalized people, Arima Shizuka just felt a little cold.

In the eyes of these people, blood relationship... what kind of connection is it?

It's a little bit confusing, but I can't go into it.

Arima Shizuka also left the courtyard with the help of other servants.

Because of this incident, the person involved was a little uncomfortable at dinner...

Should I do something?

While thinking, Arima Shizuka also heard the summons from Kuchiki Ginrei.

"Arima-sama, Kuchiki-sama, please see me."

Here I come~ Although I don't know what the old man will say to me, it is necessary to meet him at this time.

Unload the knife and change clothes.

Arima Shizuka also simply tidied up her appearance, and then followed the attendant to meet Kuchiki Ginrei.

The old man had taken off his usual clothes and changed into home clothes.

He sat in the reception room of the living room and waved his hand casually at the table.

"Please sit down."

Seeing that Arima Shizuka was also restrained, Kuchiki Ginrei couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't be so nervous. This meeting is just my personal wish and has nothing to do with other matters."

Oh?

Arima Shizuka also subconsciously relaxed his body, but found that his sitting posture collapsed all of a sudden.

"Haha, it seems that studying these days has also made Arima-kun feel stressed?"

The person concerned could only laugh twice and raised his hand to pat the back of his head.

"After all, I'm not from an aristocratic family, so I have to learn a lot of things from scratch..."

"What do you think?"

"Although there are a lot of dross, there are some good points."

"Wow, what you said is very bold."

"Well, after all, I'm an acquaintance of Lord Ginling, right?"

Since they are a little closer, Arima Shizuka will naturally not pretend to be anything.

After all, although the other party is also a more pedantic temper, in the final analysis, he is not much different from old man Yamamoto.

They are all passionate old people who are unusually serious on the surface but rich in emotions.

So.

Arima Shizuka also poured half a cup of warm tea for Kuchiki Ginling, and smiled at this moment.

"Is it because of Byakuya?"

It seems that something very troublesome was mentioned.

Just hearing this name, the wrinkles on Kuchiki Ginling's face became more obvious.

"That's right."

Knowing when to get straight to the point is also a manifestation of self-cultivation.

"That child has caused you trouble."

"As an elder, the head of the family, and the grandfather of that unpromising person."

"Arima-kun, I apologize to you."

PS: I have been too busy these two days, and I want to take a leave, but I think I should at least update one chapter... I will resume updating more when I have time.
