Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Promoted to Chief Officer

"Well…" Gao Yu gave a mysterious smile and said softly, "Perhaps it's because I have a talent for it."

"If I don't want to be in the Squad anymore in the future, maybe I can transfer to the Soul Arts Academy and become a teacher."

Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked deeply at Gao Yu. He felt that Gao Yu wasn't telling the truth, and he didn't seem like he was telling the truth.

Gao Yu, this person, no matter how he looked at him, gave off a feeling of deep hidden potential. Although he hadn't seen many Shinigami, in fact, very few, Gao Yu gave him a very special feeling.

But no matter what, Gao Yu had led him to become a Shinigami, and he believed that Gao Yu was not a bad person.

Perhaps, he just didn't want to be too famous.

Tōshirō Hitsugaya came here today not to receive Gao Yu's guidance, but simply to thank Gao Yu. However, during the 'evening study session,' he was astonished to discover that under Gao Yu's guidance, his progress was enormous!

Many things, basically, he would learn as soon as he was taught.

This was truly… terrifying.

This further solidified his previous thought: Gao Yu was definitely not just an ordinary Shinigami as he appeared!

As for the other three, they didn't think too much, focusing only on their training.

Gao Yu's favorability with them was also steadily increasing. He felt that after spending some more time with Renji, he would be able to permanently acquire Renji's 'Star Chaser.'

However, after today, he would no longer be able to teach others in this private tutoring manner.

His 'Strict Teacher Produces Outstanding Students' state was about to disappear. Without this ability, he wouldn't be able to teach others.

In the evening, Gao Yu saw the four off.

Tomorrow, he wouldn't have to patrol Rukongai. For the next period, he could relax and focus on cultivating well in the Squad.

Oh, and by the way, he should build a good relationship with Tanimoto Toru.

Tanimoto Toru's Destructive Death Ray was still very powerful. He had previously used this move to instantly destroy Metastacia's brain, making it a very strong offensive technique.

This was much more powerful than a Menos Grande's Cero.

Moreover, the more reishi he infused, the greater the power of the Destructive Death Ray. He really liked this kind of offensive skill that could strengthen himself.

The next day, he went to the Fifth Division barracks early.

He was already impatient to begin his training.

The Kirinji ability, once activated, lasts for three days, followed by a one-day cooldown before it can be activated again.

It's a bit troublesome, but it doesn't matter, he can just treat it as a day of rest.

Besides Zan, Quan, Zou, Gui, what he was most eager to improve now was his spiritual pressure. With Tōshirō Hitsugaya's talent blessing him, he felt that his speed of absorbing external reishi was extremely fast.

He had only been transmigrated for three days, but he felt that he had already risen to the level of a Squad Seat.

With his current abilities, not counting his Souls Ability, he was probably at the level of the Eighth or Squad Nine Seat.

"Gao Yu-jun is very diligent."

Just as he was training, he suddenly heard Aizen's voice.

He quickly turned around and saw Aizen, wearing glasses, approaching with a kind smile.

"Captain Aizen!"

Gao Yu respectfully bowed and said, "There's no other way. A clumsy bird has to fly early. Because my talent as a Shinigami is too weak, I have to work harder than others."

"Very good. If every Shinigami in the Gotei 13 had the same resolve as Gao Yu-jun, then the Seireitei would be impregnable."

"You flatter me." Gao Yu humbly said, "I just want to revitalize my family, and I don't have too grand ideals."

Aizen looked at Gao Yu thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Gao Yu-jun, are you interested in becoming a Squad Seat?"

"Huh?" Gao Yu was startled.

"A Squad Seat? But… in the Squad…"

"Nantian-kun was attacked by a Hollow yesterday." Aizen sighed, looking a little sad, "Now, his position is vacant."

Nantian, the Fifth Divsion's Squad Nine Seat, he was actually attacked by a Hollow?!

How did Gao Yu feel that this was something Aizen had orchestrated?

Hey, hey, hey, do you know that one less Squad Seat means I'll have one less ability?

Oh, you don't know. Then it's fine.

Although he thought a lot internally, on the surface, Gao Yu still looked very happy and said, "Then I am very grateful to you, Captain Aizen!"

"However, with my current strength, is it perhaps difficult to be competent for the position of Squad Nine Seat?"

"It doesn't matter." Aizen said softly, "I believe Gao Yu-jun will work hard to become a qualified Squad Seat."

"I will redouble my efforts!" Gao Yu quickly said loudly.

Some Shinigami nearby looked at Gao Yu with envy. See, this is the benefit of showing oneself in front of the leader.

As soon as Captain Aizen arrived, he saw a Shinigami diligently cultivating, and then there happened to be a Squad Seat position open. So, who else would he promote if not you?

After Aizen left, the Shinigami came over, somewhat enviously.

"Congratulations, Gao Yu! You're going to be our Lord Squad Nine Seat!"

Gao Yu didn't really care about these minor characters without Souls Ability, but it was hard to say if they would become strong enough to possess Souls Ability in the future.

So, the life goal Gao Yu set for himself was 'make many friends, don't make enemies'!

No matter who it was, he had to make friends with them and make as many friends as possible!

Gao Yu then said, "This is still thanks to Lord Aizen's promotion. How about this: tonight, I'll treat everyone to drinks!"

"Oh oh oh~!!" People immediately erupted in excitement. After all, being treated to food and drinks by someone else was a tangible benefit.

Some newly appointed Squad Seats, seeing the people in the Squad so happy, thought something had happened. Upon inquiring, they learned that Gao Yu had become the Fifth Divsion's Squad Nine Seat and was treating everyone to a meal, and they were all quite pleased.

Because before he transmigrated, Gao Yu's original body was a friendly good-natured person, and he had a good relationship with the people in the Squad.

Seeing Gao Yu become a Squad Seat, most people were envious or relieved; very few were jealous.

What's more, Gao Yu also said he would treat the people in the Squad to drinks.

This was no small sum!

The total number of people in the Gotei 13 is roughly six thousand, averaging four to five hundred people per Squad. Even if some people were busy or out on missions and couldn't make it, there would still be at least a hundred people.

Treating a hundred people to food and drinks, if the Gao Yu Family hadn't originally been a minor noble family with some assets, even a high-ranking Squad Seat couldn't afford such a large expense.

However, as long as he could build good relationships with others, then spending some money… For Gao Yu, this was the most cost-effective thing.

At least for now, he had already seen many people's favorability towards him rapidly increasing.
