Such an answer was somewhat surprising.
Toshiro and Momo have a natural awe of Mazuru due to his identity, and dared not to say anything.
But Rangiku who has already become familiar with him couldn't help but joke, "Captain Mazuru, are you kidding?"
She looked at Toshiro again, it was hard to believe that this silver-haired kid had the qualifications of a captain, she just thought Mazuru was joking.
Having known each other for some years, she also gradually got to know Mazuru's quirks, sometimes he likes to be black-bellied.
Mazuru's voice was serious, "I'm not joking."
Rangiku's expression condensed.
Mazuru said, "As a captain of Gotei 13, I still have vision. Rangiku, you are only seeing his overflowing reiatsu, but what you didn't notice is his reiatsu nature."
"Reiatsu nature?" Rangiku was puzzled.
Toshiro and Momo also listened quietly. After all, it was a matter involving themselves and their friends, so they couldn't help but be attentive.
"His Zanpakuto spirit is calling him."
Mazuru gave the answer.
"How come..." Rangiku was surprised again when she understood the meaning of Mazuru's words.
What Zanpakuto spirit was all about, she knew very well.
It can be said that Zanpakuto is essentially a part of shinigami's soul, but this part of power needs to rely on the asauchi that is temporarily lent to the shinigami by the Shinō Academy after entering it. Only by inserting one's spiritual power can one get their own unique Zanpakuto.
Toshiro is just a young soul with spiritual power. He has neither received orthodox teaching to learn the basic abilities of shinigami nor does he has an asauchi in his hands. But still, according to Captain Mazuru, Toshiro's Zanpakuto spirit is calling him.
Rangiku really couldn't believe it.
Toshiro thought of the dream he had. In the dream, there was indeed something calling him, but he still couldn't reach it.
Later, Rangiku appeared in front of him and told him that he possessed powerful reiatsu, and if he could not control this reiatsu, his grandma's life would be endangered.
'Is it... my Zanpakuto?'
When Rangiku was lost in thought and Momo was confused, Toshiro looked at Mazuru and made a sudden decision.
"Please teach me!"
"Shiro-chan?" Momo looked at her good friend in puzzlement.
Tōshirō said, "Although I haven't made up my mind whether to go to Shinō to study or not, but even in Shinō Academy, I can't get personal guidance from a captain of Gotei 13, right?"
This is a rhetorical question to Momo.
Momo is silent, of course she knows the value of being taught by a captain of Gotei 13.
What really made Toshiro willing to accept Mazuru's teachings and believe in Mazuru was the fact that Mazuru knew that something was calling him.
After that Mazuru and Rangiku left.
Rangiku followed Mazuru, even though Toshiro agreed to study under Mazuru and Mazuru also said that Toshiro had good qualifications, but Rangiku still had doubts in her heart.
"Rangiku, you are thinking about why I am so confident in Toshiro and showing such kindness like teaching him personally?"
Mazuru paused, glancing at Rangiku beside him, he spoke out her inner questions.
Rangiku nodded.
In this world, there is no goodwill without reason, and there is no malice without warning, everything can be traced back to its source.
In particular, Mazuru is obviously seeing Toshiro for the first time, and he doesn't know anything about him at all. Even the only thing he knows about Toshiro is probably his name.
"After seeing a soul like Toshiro with such good qualifications, I remembered a sentence someone once said in front of me." His tone changed again, and said, "Toshiro has very good qualifications, I want to know, having such qualifications How far can he go."
(T.L Note: Dude is making connections on both sides. Be it Arrancars or Shinigami, he had many friends and strong subordinates everywhere)
Mazuru has mentioned about the qualifications of Toshiro several times till now. Rangiku thought of Mazuru's comment just now, from the beginning to the end, Mazuru did not say what that sentence was or who said it to him.
It looked like Mazuru was talking nonsense, but in fact, he did think of what Aizen said about Kaname back then.
After passing through West Rukongai and entering Seireitei, Mazuru was about to send Rangiku to the direction of the Tenth Division, but on the way, because of a small accident, his footsteps couldn't help but stop.
Rangiku's footsteps also gave a pause "Captain Mazuru why did you stopped suddenly?"
Then, she saw a figure in front of him.
"It's Ise-san of the Eighth Division."
As fellow female shinigamis, she and Nanao know each other, but they are not too familiar.
"Rangiku, go back by yourself first, I still have something to do." Mazuru said to Rangiku.
Rangiku glanced thoughtfully at Mazuru, then sized up Nanao and nodded slightly, "Hmm, I understand!"
She left immediately.
Mazuru walked in front of Nanao and without the slightest embarrassment, said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
Nanao also showed a gentle smile and said, "It's really a coincidence."
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the direction Rangiku was leaving, "Was that just now Matsumoto-san of the Tenth Division?"
"Yes, she owed me a favor, so she bought me a drink. After drinking, I went shopping with her." Mazuru said lightly.
Nanao nodded lightly, then asked Mazuru softly: "Are you free now?"
"Yes I am." Mazuru is not a fool, how can he fail to understand the meaning of Nanao's words.
Even if he has something to do right now, it's fine. For team affairs, isn't there Gin?
"Then accompany me for a walk."
Nanao said.
Mazuru then accompanied her to walk among the streets of Seireitei. After walking side by side for a while, Nanao seemed to have made up her mind and took the initiative to reach out Mazuru's palm and held it.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but what she was thinking about was the time when Mazuru and Rangiku walked together.
Although she's a member of the Eighth Division, ahe has heard that Rangiku is favored by many single male shinigamis in the Seireitei.
Mazuru getting too close to her is not a good thing for Nanao.
Because when it comes to having a relation with Mazuru, no matter how you look at it, she is the one who comes first!
