time flies.
A few days later, it was time for Spiritual Arts Academy's semi-annual exam.
at this time.
In a mansion with carved beams and painted beams that looks extremely luxurious.
A young man with a handsome face and jet-black hair was practicing his sword skills hard.
"Byakuya, you don't have to be like this."
beside.
An old man with gray hair, a thin body, and a pair of star pincers on his head looked at Byakuya Kuchiki, who was sweating, and shook his head slightly.
There was a trace of distress in his eyes.
He is Kuchiki Ginling, captain of the sixth division and head of the Kuchiki family.
During this period, Byakuya Kuchiki seemed like a different person. He practiced until late at night every day, and seemed to have suppressed anger in his heart.
Even though he's improving rapidly.
However, Kuchiki Yinling still has some worries in her heart.
"Don't worry about me, Grandpa, this time I will definitely surpass Bai Ye and become the number one genius in the Spiritual Arts Academy!" Byakuya Kuchiki gritted his teeth tightly, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
during this time.
He also heard about Bai Ye's killing of Adjuchas and gained combat power comparable to that of the captain.
This made him, who had always regarded himself as a great nobleman, completely unable to accept it!
Before Bai Ye, he was just a Rukongai refugee, and he often drank during class, looked drunk, and didn't follow the rules at all!
Before, they even fought against the teacher, and even though the teacher was seriously injured, Gotei 13 and Central 46 did not punish Bai Ye in any substantial way for some unknown reason!
And he, Byakuya Kuchiki, hates people who break the rules the most!
This test is his chance to defeat Bai Ye!
"As an elder, I can't say anything if you have such momentum, but your own safety must be the top priority in everything." Kuchiki Ginling looked at Byakuya and sighed softly.
Although.
During this time, Byakuya's strength has made great progress under his teachings, and he has even touched the edge of Bankai...
but.
Bai Ye can have such a reputation because of his solid record.
Even if he has confidence in Byakuya's strength, there is no guarantee that Byakuya can really defeat Bai Ye.
"I'm leaving now."
Byakuya Kuchiki had a firm look in his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked out of the Kuchiki family's mansion, and walked towards the Spiritual Arts Academy.
…
now.
Spiritual Arts Academy was crowded.
The college, whose primary color is gray and white, is now densely packed with students wearing red and white uniforms. Everyone is talking about it, and the scene is particularly heated.
today.
It is a semi-annual test that not only freshmen, but all students in grades 1 to 5 will take part in!
The students with the best performance can graduate early and even directly join Gotei 13 and hold official positions!
"I wonder who will be able to graduate early this time."
"The first-year freshmen this time are really too strong. There are three freshmen with captain-level qualifications! One of them, Bai Ye, already has captain-level combat power!"
"Is this really an achievement that a Shinigami of this age can achieve? I'm afraid some captains, at Bai Ye's age, are still serving as chief officers or ordinary team members."
in the square.
Everyone was talking about it.
"If nothing else happens, the graduation quota this time will be chosen from three special freshmen."
"That's not necessarily true. Fourth-grade Shiba Konghe also has a very good talent. He was already a fifth-level spiritual power half a year ago. If he breaks through again now, he might be able to surpass Bai Ye..."
at this time.
It's especially noisy in the Spiritual Arts Academy.
"Ichimaru Gin!"
"Byakuya Kuchiki!"
"Shiba Kuzuru!"
…
The appearance of every strong student will cause everyone to exclaim.
Matsumoto Rangiku, Lisa Yakinamaru, Sarugaki Hiyori and others are also mixed in the crowd. Even though they are good, they are still far inferior to these star players.
"Where is Bai Ye?"
Matsumoto Rangiku looked among the crowd, but still didn't see that familiar figure.
Then, she frowned. At this time, Bai Ye could still be late? Simply outrageous!
And not far away.
Under a big tree, Byakuya Kuchiki folded his hands and could not see Bai Ye's figure.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
The common people of Rukongai are just common people after all, they don't know what etiquette, justice and shame are!
How could he be late for such an important day!
Even if such a person has great power, is it really a good thing for Seireitei?
…
at the same time.
Directly in front of the square, on the high platform.
A man who looked like a teacher, wearing a black Death Tyrant uniform, coughed lightly and announced the selection rules to the people below.
"The first step is to start the Reiatsu test."
"Only students who are in the sixth grade of Lingwei and above can apply for early graduation."
"And students who have reached the sixth level of spiritual power will each receive a bonus of 10,000 rings from Gotei 13!"
below.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Ten thousand rings!
You know, Seireitei's prices, even the members of Gotei 13 only have a monthly salary of a few hundred rings.
And with ten thousand rings, you can even buy a property in Seireitei!
Although it is nothing to a big noble.
But.
For some minor nobles and commoners from Rukongai, this is already a considerable amount!
Suddenly.
The already noisy square became even more lively!
Many people who are confident in their own abilities are gearing up. Even if they cannot graduate early, the reward of 10,000 rings is enough for them to take action.
And more of them are students with mediocre strength. Most of them are tenth-level spiritual power, or even less, and have no chance to compete for rewards.
Look at the reactions of the students below.
The teacher in the Death Tyrant costume above nodded slightly.
Then he continued, "Also, the captain of Gotei 13, Mr. Yamamoto Genryūsai, is also here today! You guys behave well!"
"Even if you cannot graduate early, if you can get the approval of the captain, you can directly join Gotei 13 as an official once you graduate!"
As soon as this news came out.
The scene suddenly became more exciting!
"Captain! He is really the captain!!!"
"I never thought I could meet such a big shot! He is a legend in Soul Society!!!"
Everyone looked towards the high platform.
I saw a stooped, old-looking old man sitting there with a cane.
Even if he looks like an ordinary old man.
However, Yamamoto's reputation has been praised since the birth of Soul Society people.
The students all knew exactly what kind of power this seemingly ordinary old man possessed! This is a strong man who can subvert everything!
