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

1st girl

If it is too obvious, I will omit it for now.

After going through various procedures for discharge from hospital with Tosen Kaname, Shizuo Arima chatted while walking and took the opportunity to tell everything that had happened to him.

"I see, is this a way to exercise your reiatsu control?"

Dongxian Yao stroked the saber on his waist and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Although it's a little rough, it's still an act of kindness."

"...Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because Arima Shizuya, you probably haven't made up your mind to kill yet."

Tōsen Kaname's tone was calm, as if he were a bystander from a third party's perspective, calmly and slowly describing what he witnessed at this moment.

"Your swordsmanship is indeed exquisite and has improved rapidly. But in my opinion, it still has the most fatal flaw... I cannot sense your murderous intention."

Arima Shizuya didn't mind others pointing out his shortcomings. He stretched out his hand to scratch the corners of his mouth and said with a deep voice.

"Isn't it normal to not have murderous intent?"

Do I have to attack you with the intention of killing you when I'm sparring?

As if responding, Dongxian Yaoyi said in a deep voice.

"This is an act of cowardice."

Huh... You guys are really quite Spartan.

"Arima Shizuya, the sword is a killing thing. If you don't have this idea of ​​killing people, it will be difficult for you to stand at the end."

"is that so."

Although he has indeed never considered such complicated things, Arima Shizuya's mentality is relatively optimistic.

After all, he is also someone who has seen the squalor of the slums. If he really encounters a life-and-death crisis, Arima Shizu doesn't think he will hesitate.

And at the end of the day...

"After all, humans are creatures with strong insensitivity."

Dongxian is a little confused.

"What's the meaning?"

Arima Shizu also showed a rather emotional smile.

"It's just the literal meaning... It's like being unaccustomed to it, unable to adapt, or even causing some kind of physical rejection."

"As long as you persist, over time, this pain will gradually disappear, and eventually you will even have the idea of ​​being liked."

"So at the end of the day... it's just a matter of trying more and just getting used to it."

Well, that's it.

You will gradually get used to the irony and fishy smell.

Just like cutting a wet cloth, the touch of skin and flesh will gradually become insensitive.

Until the very end.

I will also become the kind of guy who can take the lives of others without any expression.

Although the topic was a bit heavy, now that it was brought up, Arima Shizuya didn't mind sharing his thoughts with others.

"I am a guy who believes that everything will be straight when it reaches the bridge. So I won't think about too many complicated things... When it comes to what to do, I will also have my own thoughts. So Dongxian, what do you think? I accepted it."

Arima Shizu also has his own style of doing things.

He can identify and compromise, but this does not mean that he fully agrees with the other's ideas.

After all...

Is it right that this has always been the case?

"Well, young and energetic people always have different ideas, don't they~"

Even though he couldn't see it, he could still feel that the person next to him was smiling so stupidly that it made people sigh.

Obviously he wanted to say more, but Dongxian Yao didn't seem to be a eloquent person.

He was suddenly silent for a while.

It wasn't until two breaths passed that he spoke in a calm and unruffled tone.

"I once had a friend. She was dull, naive, and not perfect. But even so, the justice in her heart has never faded... I envy and have longed for such a person."

Dongxian Yao rarely speaks in this tone, but his current appearance is indeed a bit abnormal.

Arima Shizu also saw him turning towards her.

"I don't have many friends now, but you are one of the few. Because of this, Arima Shizuya, I hope you can live a healthy and safe life."

I see.

Is it a 'advice' given to myself from the perspective of a friend?

It's a little bit touching, Tōsen—Arima Shizuo didn't expect that he would have such a position in the other person's heart, so he laughed sarcastically.

All we can do is try to change the atmosphere.

"Oh, these words... sound like your last words!"

"...Can't you read the air?"

"Speaking of which, can I have an orange? This fruit basket isn't cheap, is it? I remember it's a famous brand, specially supplied to nobles? I'm really looking forward to the taste..."

"Don't touch my fruit basket."

"Hey??? Isn't this what you want to give to me?!"

…

Before class on the second day.

Mutual aid area on the first floor of the school building.

"Because so many things happened yesterday, by the time I realized it, a day and a night had already passed, so..."

There was no time to ask for leave.

Hey! My salary will be deducted now...

Kotetsu Yuune, who was sitting opposite, showed a hearty smile. He seemed to be able to fully understand Arima Shizuya's difficulties and nodded gently.

"Yeah, yeah, I understand the general situation. I didn't expect Arima-kun to be the person that the students were discussing recently."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You destroyed the sword dojo with just your spiritual pressure, and seriously injured four members of the fifth division with your unconscious actions. Arima-kun, you are already the talk of the academy."

"..."

Why? ? ?

Not expecting this situation at all, Arima Shizuya's expression became quite strange.

Although I had thought that one day I might become famous, I never thought it would be this way.

It's really sad.

Kotetsu Yongin was sorting out the documents on her hands. She smiled warmly, leaned forward slightly, and whispered as if she was whispering.

"I have a general understanding of the matter. I will make a report to the student union later. In fact, you do not need to compensate for the damage to the sword dojo, because you can also report it in a way that has been in disrepair and renovate it at the same time."

Arima Shizu also groaned.

"Can it still be done like this?"

"Of course it is against the rules, but it is also within the regulations and falls within the scope of operation."

Kotetsu Yongin rarely showed a proud expression. She raised her chin slightly, revealing her fair neck.

"This is the wisdom of seniors, Arima-kun."

"Oh, learned!"

"Speaking of which, I have other things I'm more concerned about... Arima-kun, have you already been loaned to Asada?"

Because it is hanging on the waist, it can be seen at a glance.

"Well, because I got approval from Instructor Aizen, I went to get it in advance."

"It's really amazing. Someone like Arima-kun should be able to call out the Zanpakutō's name very quickly."

Ah... speaking of this.

Kotetsu Yuine is the vice-captain of the Fourth Division, and there was a scene of liberating the Zanpakutō in the original work - (although he was immediately eliminated by Strawberry Brother)

Therefore, it should be considered a relatively normal behavior to learn from the other party at this time.

"Has Kotetsu-senpai already understood the name of the Zanpakuto?"

"Haha, I may not be so powerful. I'm still in the stage of fusing souls. Qian Da doesn't seem to recognize me, so I have to take my time."

I see.

Arima Shizuya crossed his arms in front of his chest, showing a thoughtful expression.

If Kotetsu Yuune is used as a standard for comparison...

‘There are indeed very few people who can complete the initial interpretation while in the academy. ’

No, it’s better to say.

Even a weak vice-captain like Kotetsu Yuune can only do this.

As for the strength of other people, Arima Shizuya also had a rough standard in his mind.

What?

Looking at it this way, I’m pretty strong!

Aizen and Tosen instill anxiety in themselves at every turn, making people nervous...

As expected, it’s better to stay with the young lady to relax~

As if remembering something, Kotetsu Yongin suddenly raised his eyebrows and said.

"By the way, Arima-kun should be taking his monthly exam soon, right?"

"Well... because it's my first time to participate, I'm a little nervous."

"This is not a big deal. The problem is that in the next week, there will be the first off-campus internship since enrollment."

"Huh? Internship?"

It could be seen that Kotetsu Yuune was very happy to talk to Arima Shizuya about these things. She kept a rather peaceful smile and spoke in a non-hurried tone.

"Because we will also be assigned to Seireitei after graduation, in order to familiarize ourselves with the work content beforehand, it will also give us a general understanding of other people's work. This kind of internship will be carried out every few months."

Oh~

There is actually such a reason in it.

"Arima-kun probably doesn't know yet. Although the positions for the next few internships are determined, you can choose your own for the first time."

Is there such a good thing?

Arima Shizuya was immediately looking forward to it.

After all, Seireitei is so big and there are so many jobs? If you can take advantage of the internship opportunity to see it with your own eyes...

Wow, I will be more confident when making allocations in the future.

This is a very important piece of information sharing, Kotetsu Yone, great! (thumbs up)

Now that everything has been explained clearly, it stands to reason that this should be the end of it.

But for now, Arima Jingya still has one thing that worries her, but she is very concerned about it.

The boy clasped his hands together and raised them above his head.

He made a gesture that was close to pleading.

"Senior Kotetsu, um, about my salary..."

The other party's smile remained unchanged and he replied decisively.

"This part can only be deducted. After all, rules are rules."

There is no room for negotiation!

"Why is this..."

As if just seeing Arima Shizuya's deflated appearance made him happy, Kotetsu Yuune's smile was particularly natural today.

The slender right hand was half-raised, and the opponent's index finger was slightly raised to draw a circle in the air.

"Just treat this time as a rare experience, so that you can remember it better next time."

It turns out that this guy is a staunch educator.

"I, I understand..."

"I'm feeling very depressed."

“Because if your income decreases, you won’t be able to eat good meat.”

Speaking of which.

Kotetsu Yuune made a tactical retreat-like movement.

Her originally relaxed smile faded away, and now she turned her face to the side.

The girl's right hand began to stir the ornaments hanging from her braids, and her thick eyebrows rolled back and forth in a somewhat distressed manner, from nervous to relaxed, until she took a deep breath at the end.

"Um, Arima-kun..."

"Hmm?"

The boy 'cheered up' belatedly and raised his head at this moment.

"If you don't mind, I can treat you to steak at noon or in the evening today."

As soon as the voice fell, without waiting for a response, Kotetsu Yuune seemed to be urged by something.

Her expression became quite nervous, and her tone was even more hurried.

"Because, because I usually drink white porridge, so I don't spend much money. And the work of the student union actually has benefits... I, I have also accumulated a lot of cafeteria coupons, and if I don't use these things, they will expire..."

Excessive explanations will only make you look guilty.

But at this time, how could Arima Jing take the initiative to expose other people's uneasiness.

There is no reason not to agree to a good thing? !

"Then thank you, senior!"

Okay! X2

Kotetsu Yuin stood up directly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and her tone was a little high.

"Then I'll leave first, see you in the cafeteria at noon, Arima-kun!"

"Well, see you later, senior."

Seeing the other person turn his back, Arima Jing also blinked and suddenly opened her mouth to speak.

"Kotetsu senior, compared to spraying perfume and makeup, this is more suitable for you... It looks cute."

Kotetsu Yuin was penetrated by the critical hit.

Her face flushed all of a sudden, but she didn't dare to stop. Instead, she quickened her pace and left the mutual aid area directly.

Gu... My heart almost stopped!

Why does this bad boy like to tease people so much... But, but speaking of it.

Kotetsu Yuin raised his hands and gently placed them on both sides of his cheeks.

It was a little hot.

It was like touching a roasted sweet potato that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"It seems... not bad?"

Unable to help but curl up his lips, Kotetsu Yuuin let out a creepy 'hehe' laugh under the strange gazes of the people around him.

As usual, he returned to the classroom and began to prepare for the new day's study.

The morning course was as fruitless as usual, and it was a kendo course.

Although Arima Shizuka forced himself to listen to the whole course, he couldn't help but show a sigh in the end.

This kind of basic among the basics is no longer useful to him now.

After all, the kendo attribute points are as many as 33, and it is also the seat team member level certified by Aizen.

It can only be said that it is normal to have such a sigh.

Taking advantage of the break between classes, Arima Shizuka walked out of the classroom and was drinking water in the corridor to quench his thirst.

A familiar... but quite unexpected figure came into his sight.

This made Arima Shizuka look surprised and even stunned.

This guy.

Why is she here?
