"Ah!!!"
In the dojo dedicated to Yamamoto Genryusai within the 1st Division squad building, Yu Mikami let out an embarrassing scream as he fell to the ground, eyes closed and mouth agape.
Yamamoto Genryusai slowly lowered his bamboo sword, displaying an expression of exasperation.
Didn't he go easy with that last strike? Was it really necessary to be so dramatic?
After pondering for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "I think I understand your situation."
"Although I had a high psychological expectation, your strength still exceeded this old man's expectations."
"If you can continue down the right path without being distracted or misguided, your future will be limitless."
Yu Mikami slowly began to rise. "Wait, Captain-Commander, I'm already like this, and you're just lecturing me without checking my injuries?"
Yamamoto Genryusai's forehead twitched with irritation. "What injuries? Is this really what you call being injured? Seireitei doesn't have such weak Bleach!"
Yu Mikami sighed.
Being a Bleach was truly difficult; the treatment was nowhere near as appealing as rap battles and dance performances.
After a moment of thought, Yamamoto Genryusai spoke up, "Yu Mikami, do you have mastery of Shikai?"
Yu Mikami shook his head. "No."
While he had synchronized Aizen's abilities, he hadn't synchronized Kyouka Suigetsu.
Let alone Kyouka Suigetsu; he hadn't even synchronized the ability of "Shikai."
Yu Mikami felt that this was likely related to the uniqueness of Zanpakutō.
The abilities of a Zanpakutō represent the attributes of a person's soul, and only by communicating with the soul can one infuse their power into the shallow strike and achieve the ability to release the Zanpakutō.
No matter how much Reiatsu he synchronized from Aizen, he could not change the essence of his own soul, so to release his Zanpakutō, he had to rely on himself.
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai furrowed his brow slightly.
Although his strength was at the Lieutenant level, he had not managed to release his Zanpakutō.
Generally, such a situation indicated that a Bleach had insufficient understanding of their own soul.
In other words, it meant there was not a strong enough conviction, and their mind was not mature enough.
The clearer Yu Mikami's potential became, the more worried he was that this young man would end up walking down the wrong path.
After some thought, he said to Yu Mikami, "In that case, you should focus your primary goal on releasing your Zanpakutō for now."
"From today onward, this old man will teach you a new sword meditation method. You should practice it for at least two hours a day, striving to communicate with your Zanpakutō as quickly as possible."
With that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to teach Yu Mikami the sword meditation techniques he had summarized.
Yamamoto Genryusai's method of sword meditation was not complicated.
To achieve the best state of calm, one must control their Reiatsu, stimulate their body and brain, and reach a high level of relaxation to maintain communication with their Zanpakutō for longer periods.
Yu Mikami tried a few times and successfully entered this state.
However, after meditating for quite a while, he found himself merely floating aimlessly in a sea of darkness, unable to hear any call from his Zanpakutō, let alone release it.
In response, Yamamoto Genryusai didn't say much; he simply encouraged him to practice more.
"Since you cannot master the release of your Zanpakutō in the short term, you should learn a combat technique that can substitute for its release."
"Both Shinigami and Hollows, to varying degrees, possess some special abilities."
"Engaging in close combat with an unfamiliar opponent is a very dangerous approach."
Under Yu Mikami's watchful gaze, Yamamoto Genryusai raised his bamboo sword.
Then, he swung it down powerfully.
With his action, a silver crescent-shaped slash shot forward, striking the trial blade stone that had been reinforced countless times by Kidou, leaving a deep cut.
Seeing this scene, Yu Mikami was taken aback. "Getsuga Tenshō?"
"What?" Yamamoto Genryusai showed a puzzled expression.
"Uh, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered a story I heard from other kids back in Rukongai, which had a move similar to what you just did…"
Yamamoto Genryusai nodded.
Some souls recently arrived from the Human World still retained some memories of the Human World, so it wasn't unusual for them to mention strange things that weren't known in Soul Society.
He slowly said, "This move is called 'Sword Pressure.'"
"The principle is similar to Kidou; it involves converting Reiatsu into a special attribute."
"For example, Bakudō #4, Byakurai, converts Reiatsu into lightning attributes."
"Bakudō #30, Shakkahō, converts Reiatsu into fire attributes."
"The principle of Sword Pressure is to convert your Reiatsu into the attribute of 'slashing' through the enhancement of your Zanpakutō."
"Next, this old man will explain the details of this technique, and you must remember them clearly."
As Yu Mikami listened, Yamamoto Genryusai calmly explained the techniques for using Sword Pressure at a measured pace.
Once he finished, he asked, "Did you remember everything?"
Yu Mikami pondered for a few seconds and then replied, "I've already forgotten about half of it."
Yamamoto Genryusai: "?"
He asked in confusion, "What part did you forget?"
Yu Mikami thought for a moment: "I've now forgotten a large portion of it."
Yamamoto Genryusai: "???"
Before the old man could respond, Yu Mikami clapped his hands. "I've completely forgotten now!"
Saying this, he slightly tilted his head back, revealing a lonely grin of a master.
After saying such a highbrow line, Yamamoto Genryusai would surely be deeply moved at having discovered a martial arts genius.
Perhaps, in his excitement, he might even reveal some secret moves from his collection.
With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Yamamoto Genryusai took a deep breath.
Then he shouted, "Quickly get out of here! You must learn this within the week; if you can't, I'll show you what happens when you mock your elders!"
After saying this, before Yu Mikami could respond, Yamamoto Genryusai directly shoved him out.
Watching the dojo door slam shut with a bang, Yu Mikami couldn't help but feel a bit wistful.
Yamamoto Genryusai really had no idea what it meant to maintain dignity.
No wonder he fell during the Thousand-Year Blood War… In a shonen manga, dignity equates to strength, and once you lose that respect, you naturally become part of the background.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto still had a long way to go in his training.
Just as he prepared to head back, Yu Mikami's expression suddenly changed.
From the look of the sky, dinner time at Shin'o had already passed.
If he returned now, he would likely have to go hungry all night!
But soon, he thought of a solution.
As the leader of the Gotei 13, the 1st Division's cafeteria must surely still be serving food.
With his current strength, sneaking in to steal a bite should be a piece of cake.
The power he got from Aizen had never been put to serious use before; today, it would finally come in handy.
If this power had emotions of its own, it would surely be moved to finally be of use, right?
Yu Mikami grinned and quickly moved.
Before long, he found the 1st Division cafeteria.
Pressing against the back wall of the cafeteria, he kept a lookout for any "enemies" while moving toward a window.
Suddenly, a voice called out next to him—
"What are you doing?"
"Holy crap?!"
Yu Mikami jumped, turning around.
He saw a little girl with dark skin wearing a cloak, smiling at him.
