Shigure walked through the corridor toward the registration office, his mind calm.
He had long understood that this was a world where the strong ruled, and power represented everything.
Spiritual pressure was the most basic manifestation of the word "power."
When two Soul Reapers wielding the same techniques attacked each other using identical Hado spells, the victor would inevitably be the one with higher spiritual pressure.
Just like in the manga, where Aizen's incantation-abandoned Black Coffin instantly killed 7th Division Captain Komamura Sajin even after he had achieved Bankai.
This was the absolute difference in spiritual pressure.
Shigure arrived at the registration office and handed over his token.
The registrar, seeing the special wooden token in Shigure's hand, immediately recognized that he was someone who had directly skipped the written exam, and couldn't help but be surprised.
After completing the registration, Shigure received a set of Shinō Academy uniforms and left after expressing his gratitude.
The official start of classes at the Shinō Academy would be tomorrow at noon.
But those who had gained admission were allowed to enter in advance.
To complete the check-in mission sooner, Shigure naturally chose to go in now.
After changing into the Academy uniform in the changing room, Shigure walked toward the Academy's main gate.
The architectural style of the Shinō Academy was distinctly different from other buildings in Seireitei, though the decorations were similar.
But both its overall form and building arrangement appeared more modern.
Taking a deep breath, Shigure truly stepped through the school gates.
The moment his foot crossed the threshold, the system's prompt immediately sounded.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully reaching the check-in location and officially beginning check-in."
"Check-in duration: 10 seconds. Exiting midway will be considered a failed check-in!"
The countdown began.
"Ten seconds."
"Nine seconds."
Shigure's eyes brightened. This was completely different from the tension he felt in Zaraki District earlier; his heart was filled only with anticipation.
"One second."
"Zero."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, check-in successful!"
"Mission reward: Mastery of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kido, all four techniques!"
As soon as the system's voice faded, Shigure immediately felt a mysterious sensation arise within his body. Simultaneously, various kinds of knowledge he had never heard before began to surface in his mind.
Unlike the first mission reward, this time he felt a warm current flowing throughout his body, which was particularly comfortable.
Half a day later, he opened his eyes, gently exhaled, and smiled.
In these brief seconds, he had gained so much.
Including the mysteries of swordsmanship, the essence of Flash Step, the techniques of hand-to-hand combat, and the incantations of Kido!
Mastery of all four Soul Reaper techniques in an instant!
While feeling happy, Shigure also found something strange.
These techniques were said to be mastered, but regarding Kido, there was a clear deficiency.
In his mind, there were no Kido spells beyond number 81.
Just as he was puzzled, the system's voice came through.
"Friendly reminder to the host, 'mastery' does not represent absolute perfection. Would you like to view detailed information?"
Hearing this, Shigure raised an eyebrow.
"View."
As soon as the thought formed, a transparent panel appeared before his eyes.
Host: Segawa Shigure.
Spiritual Pressure: Perfect.
Zanpakuto: None yet.
Swordsmanship: Mastered.
Hand-to-Hand Combat: Mastered.
Flash Step: Mastered.
Kido: Mastered.
Other Techniques: None yet.
Special Note:
All technique levels are roughly divided into four tiers—
Proficient, Mastered, Exceptional, Perfect!
The host's current Kido level is "Mastered." When elevated to "Exceptional," Kido beyond number 81 can be mastered.
When elevated to "Perfect," "Forbidden Kido" and Kido forbidden techniques can be mastered.
Other techniques follow the same principle."
After reading this, Shigure's eyes lit up.
With the system's detailed introduction, he understood.
His four Soul Reaper techniques had merely surpassed proficiency, but had not yet reached the exceptional realm.
If he had to guess, his level was probably comparable to that of an ordinary captain, not reaching the level of top-tier captains.
Top-tier captains mostly reached exceptional or even perfect levels in one or multiple areas.
As for Shigure, currently only his spiritual pressure level was "Perfect"; everything else was at the mastery level.
Based on Shigure's memory of the manga, he could roughly confirm the levels of some captains.
For instance, in terms of swordsmanship, Unohana Yachiru, the first Kenpachi, should have reached beyond exceptional;
In hand-to-hand combat and Flash Step, Yoruichi Shihoin should be able to reach beyond exceptional;
And in Kido, Grand Kido Chief Tessai Tsukabishi could use forbidden Kido techniques, approximately reaching perfection.
As for Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai, the strongest Soul Reaper wasn't just a title; perhaps he had reached beyond exceptional or even perfect in all aspects.
However, these were just Shigure's current speculations.
After all, the system's definitions of perfection and exceptional were currently unknown.
And even between two "perfect" levels, there might be certain differences.
Aizen's spiritual pressure should be at the perfect level, but compared to Shigure's destructive spiritual pressure, there might be a gap.
Of course, these were all theoretical considerations.
To confirm these, perhaps only after personally experiencing or fighting against them would Shigure be certain.
After organizing his thoughts, Shigure dismissed the system panel and prepared to head to the dormitory.
The Shinō Academy operated on a boarding system, and students were free to choose their own accommodations, which was quite liberal.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered the dormitory, the system once again issued a prompt in Shigure's mind.
"Ding, new check-in mission issued!"
"No time limit. Please check in at the 'Interstice' of the Shinō Academy. After successfully obtaining Asauchi, you will receive a system reward!"
