Maou Spiritual Academy.
Today is the first day of school. After completing the enrollment procedures, there will be an opening ceremony in the afternoon.
There is still a period of time similar to evening self-study before going to bed. Normally, there will be a small class.
But today is special, so it has become a small lecture for the class.
Year 1, Class 5.
As a new student, Arima Shizuya is showing a very nervous expression at this moment.
This is the 25th year since he traveled through time, and it is also the first step to not continue to make a living in the refugee street and Kusaka District.
It is normal to be nervous when you just enter school.
But what makes Arima Shizuya so nervous that their anus tightens is because of the man standing in the lecture hall...
The short hair is slightly curled, like a lotus flower stretching after the rain, soft but not without arc.
The brown pupils are hidden behind the square-framed glasses, and the flawless eyes are slightly curved, revealing a faint apology with a pair of eyes.
This is a man who looks gentle on the surface. In terms of body shape, he even seems too thin.
But it is this face and the voice just now that are so recognizable.
"Good evening, students. I am the instructor who will be responsible for your mental health and learning status from now on."
"My name is Aizen Sosuke."
"From today on, I will be with you for six years. It is my honor to be your instructor. Please take care of me."
The gentle voice is like a terrifying armor-piercing bullet, which pierced Arima Shizuya's brain.
The Shinou Spiritual Academy is an educational institution that aims to cultivate future Kidōshu, the Secret Mobile Team and the Gotei 13.
The course lasts for six years, and only excellent people can skip grades and graduate.
Arima Shizuya originally just wanted to come here to make a living. After all, as long as he enters this place, he will definitely have a job if he does not perform too poorly.
Assignment guaranteed, prisoner.
Arima Shizuya is quite satisfied with her current situation. After all, it's enough to be stronger than the refugees. We don't expect to be invincible, right?
After all, that's not something people can expect...
But I didn't expect to meet the ultimate boss on the first day of school.
Wow, the dead memories are starting to attack!
Throughout the entire Bleach.
One of Ichigo Kurosaki's three fathers.
The glasses crusher, the dirty talk maker, the world's best at wearing prison uniforms like Victoria's Secret.
This guy shows up here, how can I play?
Ah?
How about committing suicide?
Arima Shizuya's soul is about to float away... But Aizen's next speech brought him back to his senses.
"As you can see, I am now assigned to the 5th Division of the Gotei 13. This is a special organization under the rescue team in the 13th Division."
"Under the team number, there is a silhouette of the safflower... Does anyone understand the meaning of the flower?"
Two seconds of silence, obviously there are no so-called elegant people in the scene.
Aizen was not surprised at all, as if this result was also within his expectations.
"Is it because of the nervousness of the first school? Haha, everyone please adapt to this environment as soon as possible. After all, time is tight, and the courses of the Shin'o Spiritual Academy are also arranged quite tightly."
Pushing the square-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Aizen still smiled.
"The flower language of the scutellaria is sacrifice, danger, purity, and sweet feelings. This is also my blessing to all my classmates."
"Of course, learning must be painful."
"At the same time, I hope that you can understand the essence of the Shinyang Spiritual Academy. After becoming a useful person, do not forget your mission and responsibility."
Arima Shizuka's expression became more and more strange as she listened.
Something is wrong, something is not right.
Although Aizen is very good at disguising himself, the serious attitude of saying such words at this moment made Arima Shizuka feel some subtle sincerity.
It was as if he really agreed with these words from the bottom of his heart, so he said them out loud.
Wow, although I don't have the skill to see through people's hearts, do you usually speak in this tone? It's too deceptive.
Or is this also part of Aizen's evil play?
While thinking, a woman in the front row raised her right hand nervously and was called by Aizen.
"Please go ahead."
"Well, that... Mr. Aizen, I've heard of you! You are also an outstanding graduate of the academy, right? What is your current seat in the fifth division?"
The seat system is above the team members, and is second only to the captain and vice-captain.
In other words, the idea of separate seats itself represents strength and status.
Aizen Sosuke, wearing a tunic, smiled shyly, his eyes curved into a crescent-like gentle arc.
"I am not very talented, and now I am only ranked fourth."
The words were very polite, but the people below had already started to chatter.
"Eh?! So young... already the fourth seat?"
"No, no, Mr. Aizen is so powerful, the fourth seat should be easy to get!"
The people below were discussing continuously.
Aizen did not mean to interrupt, but smiled and looked at everything happening in front of him.
As a teacher, he doesn't have the slightest sense of authority...
At the same time, he can get along well with people just by meeting them for the first time, which is a natural gift in a sense.
The atmosphere in the classroom is quite harmonious.
Arima Shizuka finally came to her senses.
Think about it carefully.
According to the plot, this guy seems to have waited until he became the vice-captain before he started to do evil?
Although I haven't paid much attention to Aizen's life experience, he seems to have served as a lecturer in the Maou Spiritual Academy for a period of time.
Even after becoming the captain, there are still regular "calligraphy" courses in the academy.
'The information on the seat can be used as a reference. It seems that there is still a long time before the plot begins, at least more than a hundred years...right? '
Perhaps Aizen did start to think about it after becoming the vice-captain, but no matter what, this person at this stage may be relatively normal.
So there is still a way out for me?
As his thoughts went up and down, Aizen's voice came to his ears again.
"Arima-san, Arima-san?"
"...Ah? Ah, here!"
Standing up reflexively, Arima Shizuka also saw that more than 20 students were staring at him. Aizen, as the instructor, smiled and nodded at him.
"Arima-san, in order to make the future life more harmonious, proper communication is also an opportunity to open each other's hearts... After all, everyone got together and got to know each other. Maybe there will be a chance to work together in the future."
Aizen raised the list paper in his hand and added softly.
"So please give a brief self-introduction in one minute."
Just when he was distracted, more than 20 students in the classroom had already focused their attention on him.
Although Arima Shizuka sat in the last row, he was the first on the list.
There was an indescribable sense of tension.
But this was not the time to retreat.
Arima Shizuya clenched his right hand into a fist, half raised it to his chest, and gently pressed it down.
Exhale, inhale. Just calm down, I...
Following everyone's gaze, the boy slowly stood up.
His facial features are quite delicate, and his long black hair is tied into a ponytail and raised high, like the tail feathers of a horse, bright and dazzling.
At this moment, his lips are slightly pursed, and he moves for a moment, then he opens his mouth as if taking a deep breath and speaks.
"Hello everyone, my name is Arima Shizuya. I was born in the Kusaka District of Rukongai. I like tofu and spinach, but I hate natto. What I am best at is... kendo!"
...
The class meeting is over.
As usual, it should be time to rest.
But in fact, the Shin'o Spiritual Academy does not have a very strict sleeping system.
After all, some noble masters are also boarding here. These people have social activities after class, and being completely closed will be troublesome.
In addition, those who come here to study are not children, and everyone has their own corresponding goals - academic studies are the minimum, as long as they can be completed.
After the class meeting, Arima Shizuya did not return to the dormitory, but turned to the kendo field.
There was an indescribable sense of expectation on Arima Shizuya's face.
After all, he has been looking forward to this place for a long time.
In fact, Arima Shizuya has a special panel called the point-adding system.
It is a very simple ability that can obtain corresponding attribute points only through exercise, and even silverback gorillas know how to use it.
For example, when he was in the grass deer area, he kept practicing wooden swords and finally obtained kendo-related attribute point rewards.
[Waving wooden swords for a day, kendo +1]
And his panel has also changed significantly.
[Arima Shizuya]
[Slash: 20][Punch: 0][Walk: 0][Ghost: 0]
As shown in the content, Arima Shizuya's panel shows the four basic skills of the god of death.
As a commoner, all he could get access to was the simple thing called "Kendo".
The 20 attribute points were hard-earned.
Because of the continuous training, Arima Shizuya's palms were worn out early, and now there are milky white calluses, which look quite ferocious.
'But it's different from today...'
After trying before, Arima Shizuya found that his ability can also take some shortcuts.
As long as he can be taught by someone who is far more capable than himself, the corresponding attribute points will also be significantly increased.
This is the conclusion that Arima Shizuya came to when he was beaten with a wooden sword in the Kusaka District and almost died.
The training after receiving guidance is definitely much better than groping by himself.
Even if you are a little sweet-mouthed and spend some time, it is not difficult to let some old seniors show their real skills and beat you up.
Come on, don't pity me, just treat me as a sandbag and stir-fry me hard!
Wuhu~
This heat wave, I must take off some clothes immediately!
Excitedly changing into the kendo uniform, as a freshman, Arima Shizuka only has the right to play outside the dojo.
It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning! This little embarrassment is nothing to be afraid of!
But after getting ready, the voice that made people's anus tighten came from behind.
"Arima-san, you are very hardworking."
He turned his head halfway with some embarrassment and saw Aizen standing five meters away with his hands folded between his sleeves, smiling at him.
This is a remote corner outside the dojo, and there is no one else beside Arima Shizuka at the moment.
So Aizen is only coming for him?
"Sorry... everyone has gone to rest, only Arima is still working so hard. This serious attitude really makes people care, and I accidentally followed you."
"To be honest, although I am an instructor, like Arima, I am also a novice teacher. How to teach and what tone to use to communicate with young people like you is also a challenge for me."
"Maybe I said too much, but please forgive me, Arima."
After a pause, Aizen's eyes became more and more curved, and in addition to the smile, there was a little more subtle feeling in them.
"And speaking of this, Arima-san was also recruited into the academy as a special student, right?"
"Kendo... What a simple and sharp name. In this era, there must be very few people who are still obsessed with the basics."
"Sorry, it seems that I have said some unnecessary words again. Let's get back to the point... Arima-san, I am quite curious about your kendo. Can I see it up close?"
Although he was talking to himself, his words sounded very logical.
It was well-reasoned and convincing.
Considering the opponent's nature of white-cutting black, and the fact that the words had been said to this point, the "no" that was frozen on the tip of his tongue could not be said no matter what.
The embarrassed Arima Shizuka could only purse his lips nervously.
"Then, then I will show my ugliness..."
Calm down, this guy is just a bystander.
Just be calm.
Arima Shizuya adjusted his breathing and relaxed his body completely - but then tensed up again after a breath pause.
Entered the state.
20 points of kendo attribute value, although not enough to enter the hall, but it is also a level of achievement.
Such a foundation made Arima Shizuya's temperament change.
The muscles all over his body began to tremble with his breathing, the touch of his palms was solid, and the nerves seemed to spread from the body to the outside, wrapped around the thick wooden sword handle.
It was as if this dead thing had become an extension of his own body.
"Wow..."
Aizen's originally calm eyes had some fluctuations.
In terms of his level, what Arima Shizuya showed was not surprising at all.
But it was precisely because of his extraordinary level that he could understand... This was not the level that an ordinary child could practice with a wooden sword.
Even compared to some unlearned children of aristocratic families, this seemingly "wild" young man had a more orthodox sense.
The body is very stable, and the center line is solid. Although there is some room for improvement in the footwork, the posture is quite sharp, with a sense of sharpness that only young people can have.
His skill is great.
Besides this, Aizen can't think of any other conclusions for the time being.
It can be seen from just one Suzhen that this must be achieved after enough effort.
This level of seriousness, not just for fun... Such a sincere and serious guy - has already mastered it before entering school.
Originally, Aizen, who was just trying to experience and learn, was somewhat interested at this moment.
...
After a series of Suzhen and back-and-forth footwork practice, Arima Shizuka, who was slightly sweating, also stopped.
*Clap clap clap*
There was applause from behind, it was Aizen Sosuke.
He looked at Arima Shizuka with a slightly curious look, and he did not hesitate to praise him.
"Amazing! Arima-san was able to handle the attacks of the soldiers calmly during the entrance exam. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that I am too ignorant."
Face your own arrogance in response to that impoliteness.
"I apologize, Arima-san. Your ability is unquestionable. But at the same time, from the perspective of a mentor, I think you also have room for improvement..."
Here it comes.
Although it was indeed the scene that Arima Shizuya imagined, when he saw Aizen's face, he was so nervous.
Fortunately, Aizen didn't seem to care about these micro-expressions.
He gave sincere advice, and Arima Shizuka gradually listened attentively, and finally nodded uncontrollably.
20 points of kendo foundation in front.
Even without the corresponding system knowledge, he could understand what Aizen said with his muscles and body.
So that's it, it turns out that there is still so much room for improvement...
In other words, Aizen was really instructing him sincerely.
Although I knew that Aizen was a guy who was proficient in the four major systems, I didn't expect that he had such an understanding of kendo.
I can only say that the real person is far more three-dimensional and vivid than the image in the comics.
As his thoughts floated, the familiar subtitles jumped out.
[You wielded the wooden sword and got Aizen's guidance, kendo +5]
Yeah? !
Arima Shizuka also woke up all of a sudden.
You know, when I was practicing before, the attribute values were increasing by one point at a time, and there was no daily settlement.
I didn't expect that today, I only received some pointers, and I gained 5 points of attribute values in one go.
It feels like a gap between manually upgrading here and adjusting the data directly in the background...
Wow, I can only say that he is worthy of being the big boss behind the scenes.
Even if it is only in this aspect, the ability he has shown is definitely not to be underestimated.
"Arima-san, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest early, what do you think?"
After saying this, Arima Shizuka could only nod in response.
"No problem, Mr. Aizen."
Going back, Arima Shizuka also changed into light clothes and saw Aizen outside the door.
The two walked side by side in the corridor leading to the dormitory.
The moonlight was faint, and dark clouds were rolling. The candlelight on both sides of the corridor was flickering, and the spirit fire twisted its winding arc, stretching the figures of the two people flatly.
Aizome walked in front. His back was not broad, but it gave Arima Shizuka an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Arima-san, can I ask you something?"
The person concerned swallowed carefully.
"Just ask, teacher Aizen."
"I can see that Arima-san seems to be quite enthusiastic about kendo. Is there any reason?"
Ah... are you talking about this.
Arima Shizuka laughed twice and patted the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
"It's just that I just came into contact with it, so I want to learn more about it."
In fact, it's just because I'm too poor.
In Kusaka District, I can't learn flash step and ghost ways... and between "slash" and "fist", Arima Shizuka finally chose the former.
After all, we have come to the world of death, who wouldn't dream of owning a handsome and unique sword?
And although it is nominally a refugee area, I have been hanging out there for more than 20 years, so it's easy to get a broken wooden sword.
Although it is said that as long as you do the corresponding exercise, the attribute points will slowly accumulate and eventually become effective combat power.
For example, Arima Shizuka also insists on running, boxing, etc.... The ability of "boxing" and "walking" will improve sooner or later.
But the progress is also something that needs to be considered.
It can only be said that a good cook cannot cook without rice.
In that harsh environment, Arima Shizuka can only specialize in one specialty and rely on it as a stepping stone to be admitted to the academy.
Kendo is the answer!
"Just pure love? Haha, it does fit the feeling of Arima-san."
Aizome pushed his glasses, half turned his head, and showed a kind smile to Arima Shizuka.
"I don't hate people who are good at deceiving, because it makes me feel that the other person cares about my thoughts. But compared to such overly polite words, I still prefer people who can be honest."
Aizen's eyes were calm, and his eyes looking at Arima Shizuya were also quite gentle.
"After all, this kind of interaction is the most normal communication, isn't it?"
Arima Shizuya laughed twice and raised his hand to touch the back of his head.
"Teacher Aizen, I'm probably not as smart as you said..."
"Haha, Arima's humility is also a very rare quality."
With such a short contact, Arima Shizuya also roughly understood Aizen's current situation.
He may indeed become the kind of person who despises everything in the future, but at least from the current situation, he seems to be a good person?
But no matter what...
It's not a good thing to always be passive and accommodating.
Occasionally, you have to fight back!
"Teacher Aizen, can I ask you something?"
The latter's smile deepened. He stopped, turned his whole body towards him, and said gently.
"The desire for knowledge is the basis of progress, but you can say it."
"Why... do you pay so much attention to me?"
If he hadn't been staring at me like a pervert, how could this guy appear in the kendo field?
There's no need to say this, just thinking about it makes it clear.
Aizen seemed a little surprised.
He pondered for a moment, and smiled shyly twice, and Arima Shizuya even saw a look close to "embarrassment" on his face.
"Have you been discovered? It seems that my intentions seem to be too obvious... Sorry, Arima-san."
Aizen sighed lightly, and his expression seemed to be a little emotional.
"As I said before, this is also my first time as a teacher. How to guide and educate is also a new attempt for me."
Yes.
"I am actually the same as you, both beginners in a sense. I also feel sad, after all, I don't know how to communicate with young people like you... But, fortunately."
Aizen stared at Arima Shizuya, his eyes full of smiles.
"Arima-san seems to be a good example. I roughly understand what I should do next."
Ah? I teach Aizen to do things?
How could Arima Shizuya have such a strange dream...
Facing the embarrassed student, Aizen Sosuke just smiled and looked at him.
He is serious and humble at the same time. Although he was born as a refugee, such a virtue is really valuable.
In this ordinary class, Arima Shizuya's performance can be said to be quite eye-catching.
"Arima-san may not realize it, but in fact, you are already a very good student."
Of course, this does not mean that Arima Shizuya can relax.
"Although compared to a true genius, Arima-san still can't do that kind of exaggerated degree... But, witnessing the growth of students is also a great responsibility of being a teacher."
Aizen didn't hate this burden.
"Is, is that so..."
Although he was still a little nervous, he should be able to get along with the seemingly 'harmless' Aizen Sosuke normally.
While hesitating, Arima Shizuka also saw Aizen extending his right hand to him.
"Arima... No, Shizuka-kun, in short, please take care of me in the future."
After only thinking for a moment, Arima Shizuka generously extended his right hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Well, this side is here. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Aizen!"
