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

birthday gift.

This statement itself represents the meaning of mutual care and concern between relatives and friends.

"Even people who are not good at words can still express their feelings in this way...So, I think this is a good choice for Byakuya."

Don't like to talk?

Are they all boring gourds in the literal sense?

It doesn't matter, just stuff the gift into your mouth, and you will understand all your thoughts...

Although they are outsiders in name, they have been getting along with each other for so many days.

Arima Shizuya now knows a thing or two about the Kuchiki family's relationship style, and that's why he had such an idea at this moment.

"It doesn't matter if you can't open your mouth. As long as the other person receives the gift, your heart has been completely conveyed to the other person's hands."

Seeing that the boy in front of him still had a dumbfounded expression, Arima Shizu couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that this guy has never remembered the birthdays of his elders... Well, but this is normal.

After all, if there is no one to teach these things, you still need some talent to understand them on your own.

Or should I say...

"Byakuya, you don't actually respect that grandfather of yours that much?"

Kuchiki Byakuya shook his head repeatedly, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared.

"No, there is no such thing! Thank you Mr. Arima, I know what to do!"

Although he is stunned and stubborn, this guy is indeed a good boy.

——Since Kuchiki Ginrei has already said that he will be allowed to express himself freely, Arima Shizu will naturally not be polite.

The first lesson is to teach you how to repair the relationship with your family!

Watching Byakuya clumsily but carefully start to choose the shape, material, and prepare to book the construction period.

Arima Shizu also showed a rather pleased smile.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly turned his head and said to Shizuya Arima with a smile at this moment.

"Mr. Arima, let me give you one too!"

ah?

I still have a share in this.

No, no, you have to know that things here are not cheap.

According to Arima Shizuya's own income level, she can basically not afford anything in this store...

Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse, but Kuchiki Byakuya's attitude was quite firm.

"Since you have to give gifts, Mr. Arima has helped me so much, so I must bring one with me."

Otherwise, this guy is stubborn.

Being completely unconvinced, Arima Shizu could only agree with a wry smile.

Then it's better to be respectful than to obey orders... But I didn't expect that this noble master's actions were indeed extraordinary, so he directly bought a small incense made of fragrant wood for Shizuya Arima.

This thing has a hollow design in the middle. Although it looks like it is only about one finger long, it has been modified into a detachable style.

Twist it open and you can place something scented inside...

Because of its small size, it can also be directly inserted into a looser suit, which is convenient and easy to use.

The shop owner very thoughtfully put a few fragrant herbs that were broken off and then crushed.

Arima Shizu also dropped it directly onto his waist and wrapped it around the scabbard.

Because it was the first time I was tinkering with these things, I was still a little nervous - the person involved fiddled with it for a while, and finally turned around and said with some embarrassment.

"How...how is it?"

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't know how to flatter someone, so he said in deep thought.

"It is said that Ginling-sama also liked to dress like this when he was young. Although I have never seen it, it probably looks like this... Well, it fits Mr. Arima's temperament very well."

Really?

Oops, I'm so embarrassed...

I wanted to say something, but Byakuya had already handed over the deposit and payment.

The rich man is so proud in this regard.

I originally thought that things were going to end like this, but when he was about to leave, Arima Shizuya seemed to suddenly remember something.

Suddenly stopped.

Kuchiki Byakuya beside him checked his wallet, noticed something strange next to him, and stopped at this moment.

"What's the matter, Mr. Arima?"

Arima Shizuya's expression was a little hesitant, as if he had thought carefully for a while before he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Um... Byakuya, can you lend me some money?"

"...Huh? Of course!"

There is no reason not to agree.

After all, it was Arima Shizuya who finally took the initiative to ask, and Kuchiki Byakuya would agree even if he had to bite the bullet.

only.

"Do you want to buy anything, Mr. Arima?"

The face of the person involved squirmed, and finally he showed a faint smile.

"Well, because I was talking to Byakuya just now, I suddenly remembered..."

I also have people to thank.

After thanking Byakuya, Shizuo Arima returned to the shop.

…

January flies by.

During this period, Arima Shizuya never stopped training with Kuchiki Byakuya.

Because the other party is also very diligent, Arima Shizuya naturally has no reservations.

As far as the art of kendo is concerned, Arima Shizu naturally taught him everything he could.

At the same time, he also made some targeted suggestions and improvements to Kuchiki Byakuya's tactics.

"The ability of your Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura, is to disperse the blade and turn it into something similar to a blade, so that it can attack the opponent, right?"

Byakuya Kuchiki held the Zanpakutō in his hand and nodded respectfully in response.

"Yes."

"Then you should adapt to your characteristics and make some changes in your tactics."

Arima Shizuya spoke with emotion.

"Flexible and elegant. At the same time, it has the special ability to control it by raising your hand to make it faster and more accurate."

"This clearly shows that your Zanpakutō should be used as a harassment and secondary attack."

"What kind of trouble are you going to make by just gathering Senbonzakura's blades together and smashing them directly at the target..."

All I can say is that there is nothing wrong with being abusing food.

It also has very impactful visual effects.

But it’s just as Arima Shizuya said.

"Each Zanpakutō has its own characteristics. Don't be so stubborn and at odds with your true nature. Accept your own nature."

Kuchiki Byakuya's movements tend to be of a wide-open and wide-open type.

This is a trait that cannot be changed even after being trained by the Sifengyuan family.

It can be seen that Byakuya Kuchiki seems to be deliberately pursuing fairness and the form of competition between the two sides.

It’s no wonder that all kinds of weird and weird things can be developed in Senbonzakura Kagegen in the future.

"Maybe after Byakuya learns the meaning of swastika, he can try that kind of behavior. But judging from the current situation, it's better to listen to my advice."

"What should you do to use your power in the most correct way? Byakuya, my course also includes this part of the content."

"Also, let me think about it... By the way, if you feel that your attack methods are not sufficient, you can also work on ghost ways."

Although it may be a bit overwhelming.

But this is indeed the best way to improve combat power.

"The high-numbered Kidou can be used freely, and Senbonzakura can be used as an auxiliary attack method. By combining the two, Byakuya's combat effectiveness will be considerable."

This is a strategy that Arima Shizuya thought up for him, and it also combines some of the content from the original work.

After all, although Baymax is also the captain, he doesn't seem to like to use ghost-type methods during confrontations.

Maybe the other party is not a character set in this way...

Kuchiki Byakuya felt somewhat awkward, but with the help of Arima Shizuya, this feeling soon disappeared.

After all, in terms of attribute values, Shizuya Arima's Kidou level is basically the same as that of ordinary captains.

It might be a bit lacking if you want to compete with others, but here it is, educating children and so on.

That's more than enough.

This is the way of swordsmanship.

The same goes for ghosts.

After that, the rest was in vain with Shunpo.

Arima Shizu also didn't make any reservations and was ready to teach it to Byakuya.

Perhaps due to the fact that he had trained under Yoruichi in the early years, Kuchiki Byakuya learned this aspect very quickly, and his progress was very impressive.

Even Arima Shizuya thought the speed of learning was a bit exaggerated, but after thinking about it carefully, he roughly understood it.

'After all, he is a person who can become a captain. Although his previous learning and experience cannot be directly transformed into effective combat power...'

‘But after I mixed it up, I basically brought out all the powers that should exist. ’

‘This is the so-called period of rapid development, right? ’

Arima Shizu also made a brief estimate and believed that with Byakuya's current strength, it was more than enough to serve as the vice-captain.

If you just want to step into the third level of spiritual power and understand the meaning of swastika, it will probably take some time to prepare.

Considering this aspect, Arima Shizuya tried to write letters to Shifouin Yoruichi, and after getting the other party's permission...

Arima Shizu also taught him the technique of instant coaxing.

In fact, considering the relationship between the Kuchiki family and the Shifengin family, basically as long as Kuchiki Ginrei opens his mouth, there will be no problem.

The behavior at this time is more or less an expression of respect in the heart. After all, the things still belong to Yoruichi, and Arima Jing cannot do whatever he wants without his approval.

As for what will happen to Dabai after he learns it?

Arima Shizuo also thinks that it may not have much impact... After all, it can be felt that Kuchiki Byakuya is not interested in white fighting skills.

I am a serious swordsman.

It is estimated that if he had not been forced to the point of no return, he would not have chosen to use this technique - now he just has the ability to press the box.

Of course, while teaching Kuchiki Byakuya, Arima Shizuya himself would not just stay idle.

Taking the opportunity to educate others, Arima Jing also took the opportunity to review the various skills he had mastered, and sorted them out systematically.

Killing two birds with one stone is very satisfying.

The days are spent in these trivial and rich times, and soon...

It was the birthday of Kuchiki Ginrei.

Although Arima Shizuya wanted to give the old man a surprise or something, he finally gave up this idea under the strong request of Kuchiki Byakuya.

After finishing the daily dinner.

Byakuya took out the fragrant wood utensils he had ordered in advance and handed them to his grandfather respectfully.

"Sir Yinling, thank you for your continued care."

At a time like this, why don’t you just call me grandpa?

Tsk...it's so awkward.

However, looking at Kuchiki Ginrei's expression, the other party obviously doesn't care much about these things.

It is probably a special play of the Kuchiki family... Arima Shizuka can't understand it, so naturally she won't participate in it.

Although Kuchiki Ginrei didn't show much excitement, he accepted the gift with a normal expression.

The corners of his mouth that had been tense all the time relaxed a little, and it seemed that his tone was not as stiff as usual.

The atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson eased slightly.

'The effect is not too obvious...'

It seems that there is still a long way to go for these two people to understand and let go of each other.

And considering that there will be a plot later about Dabai rebelling and marrying a wife, Arima Shizuka has already started to think about whether to start giving Ginrei a shot of prevention...

Otherwise, what if the old man is stressed out by you and his blood vessels burst?

There are quite a lot of things to worry about.

After returning to the room, Arima Shizuka also waited for Kuchiki Ginrei's summons as usual.

As usual, they met in the living room. Arima Shizuya saw the old man fiddling with the small incense burner sent by Byakuya as soon as he entered the room.

"Sit down."

At this moment, he was too lazy to even raise his head... The old man was obviously infected by Arima Shizuya's relaxation, so that he was no longer so tense in private.

"Does Lord Ginrei like the gift sent by Byakuya?"

"It was your idea, Byakuya is not so cunning."

"Well~ I just gave a little reference opinion, and the decision must be made by Byakuya himself."

With a light sigh, Kuchiki Ginrei put the things down without comment. Now when he raised his head again, there was a little emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you, Arima-kun."

"It's a small matter, don't take it to heart."

The old man originally wanted to say something, but after hearing this, he choked for a moment and then smiled and shook his head.

He was a straightforward person who didn't hesitate and went straight into the next topic.

"There is another reason why I asked you to come here today. Your internship is about to end."

"Ah, I know that."

There is only a month left before the end of the semester. After finishing the internship in the Sixth Division, I can report back to school.

The time is exactly right. Another year has passed perfectly.

"What I want to say is another thing."

Kuchiki Ginling took out something from his arms and slowly pushed it flat until it was placed in front of Arima Shizuya.

A piece of book.

The name of Kuchiki Ginling was written on it, and it was stamped with the seal of the captain of the Sixth Division and the family crest of the Kuchiki family.

"Arima-kun, are you interested in working in my Sixth Division?"

Of course, there is more to it.

"You should have heard about the size of our Kuchiki family."

"If possible, I don't mind introducing you to some outstanding and young descendants of the side branches..."

Kuchiki Ginling retracted his hands and began to rub the small incense altar in front of him again.

"I wonder if you are interested in becoming a member of my Kuchiki family?"
