The first communication with his Zanpakuto wasn't smooth.
After fighting that dragon with pure Shinigami power for a long time, Yohan was still exhausted.
The next moment, he regained consciousness and emerged from [Total Concentration].
"It seems I can't be in a hurry!"
"The Zanpakuto must be tamed slowly, starting with refining and getting used to the basics of Shinigami power!"
Based on the current situation, the [Final Release] of the system's sign-in reward aims to provide future potential for the Zanpakuto. As for the Zanpakuto's actual release, Yohan has to do it himself.
As he thought about this, he touched his chin, contemplating how to graduate from the Spiritual Arts Academy ahead of schedule.
After all, with his completed Reiryoku, as a great master, he couldn't learn much at the Spiritual Arts Academy. Watching advanced class exams would be beneficial. As for releasing his Zanpakuto, he could only rely on himself.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange Reiryoku staring at him. He then turned his head and looked along that Reiryoku.
On the fence outside the Kendo classroom, a person was lying.
Medium-length, slightly curly brown hair tied into a ponytail, with two fancy hairpins attached, wearing a pink haori embroidered with patterns, hands behind his head, and a bamboo hat covering his face in a reclining position.
Only his chin was visible, with a little sparse hair.
When he saw this person, Yohan reacted immediately. He knew him.
Kyoraku Shunsui!
"Oh? Are you awake already?"
When Kyoraku Shunsui felt the Reiryoku slowly subside, he picked up his bamboo hat while still lying down, looked at him, and then sat up.
Seeing this, Yohan stood up and saluted.
"Captain, greetings."
After dusting himself off, Kyoraku Shunsui yawned and stood up, chuckling.
"Young people are so energetic now. I never imagined that communicating with a Zanpakuto could cause such a ruckus!"
When he heard this, Yohan was surprised, then looked around.
After finding a lot of residual Reiryoku in the air,
he feared that his Reiryoku might have accidentally leaked while he was in his inner world with the Zanpakuto.
Thinking about this, his face changed slightly.
It was Captain-level Reiryoku. If it was uncontrollably released, only a few new students would be able to resist it.
He immediately knew what was happening and promptly said,
"I'm sorry, Captain, and thank you, Captain, for helping resolve the issue, or else it could have led to undesirable consequences!"
Kyoraku Shunsui waved his hand.
"The one you should thank isn't me, who made all these preparations in advance, but Captain Aizen!"
"Fortunately, he teaches here."
"Nevertheless, I don't blame you for this. This kind of thing can happen the first time you enter [Total Concentration], but I didn't expect your Reiryoku to be so magnificent!"
Aizen!
His pupils constricted slightly. Before that, he thought that since Aizen had to stay out of the limelight at the Academy, he didn't expect to recognize him before the official class started.
I can't stay in the real world for too long.
At this time, Kyoraku Shunsui smiled.
"Since the confirmation has been made, I'll be leaving!"
"However, having a genius like you willing to join the Spiritual Arts Academy and become a Shinigami is also a great boost for us, [Gotei 13]!"
"When you graduate, maybe you can directly become a Vice-Captain, or what do you think about joining the Eighth Division!"
This wasn't a compliment from Kyoraku Shunsui.
He had seen many geniuses, but whether it was Shiba Kaien, Ichimaru Gin, or Hitsugaya Toshiro, it was impossible for them to have Captain-level Reiryoku when they entered the school.
It's a natural Captain-level Reiryoku talent, a talent that others can't envy, perhaps like Zaraki Kenpachi, and his future is destined to be bright.
Not to mention, he communicated with his Zanpakuto for the first time.
"Kubo-kun, I hope to see you soon in [Gotei 13]!"
Upon hearing this, Qianye almost knew everything.
[Seireitei] must have known about the Reiryoku release at the time of the signing beforehand and sent a [Gotei 13] Captain to investigate, but at that time, he was alone.
Now, the same Reiatsu has appeared at the Spiritual Arts Academy, so Kyoraku Shunsui came immediately, only to discover his own identity and investigate, as behind that cheerful demeanor and foolish smile was a cunning man.
At this moment, seeing that Kyoraku Shunsui was about to leave, he quickly opened his mouth.
"Wait, Captain, if you please, I apologize!"
"Oh? Anything else?"
"I have something I want to ask you!"
As he spoke, he looked at Kyoraku and said in a somewhat formal tone,
"I don't know what the conditions are for applying for early graduation?"
Hmm?!
Upon hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui froze for a moment, a little surprised.
You just enrolled, right? Are you thinking about graduating?
Although Kyoraku Shunsui was a bit puzzled, he couldn't ignore his seriousness. After all, a genius's way of thinking is always different from that of ordinary people, taking himself and his sick friend as examples.
Ichimaru Gin and Toshiro also graduated ahead of schedule, but they weren't as anxious as he was.
"If there are conditions, there are two!"
Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and raised two fingers.
First, you must perform Soul Burials in this world. This is a mandatory condition.
"Second, you must obtain your Zanpakuto's name to successfully release your Zanpakuto, at least Shikai!"
"And under the supervision of a Captain and four instructors from the Spiritual Arts Academy, demonstrate your basic skills and earn their recognition at the same time!"
Upon hearing this, he was surprised. Early graduation was more troublesome than he imagined.
Simply put, it's a Soul Burial practice plus a demonstration of power.
Soul Burial isn't really necessary for Yohan; what's important now is his Zanpakuto.
Although he currently doesn't know his Zanpakuto's name to achieve [Shikai], he has only performed [Total Concentration] once. There are still many opportunities, and he believes he can do it.
Thinking about this, he said,
"If that's the case, I will bother the Captain a little!"
Upon hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui lowered and pressed his bamboo hat slightly and said with a smile,
"Oh!? So confident?"
"Since you've already said so, I'll do my best!"
In that case, I look forward to seeing your performance!
After finishing speaking, Kyoraku Shunsui smiled at him, patted his shoulder, walked out, and then disappeared from his sight.
Yohan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Next, it's the Zanpakuto!"
Therefore, he requested from the Academy's professors an exemption from some courses before the official start of the semester.
From an outsider's perspective, this was reckless and dismissive.
However, after he showed everyone his basic Shunpo skills, everyone fell silent, and after getting the teacher's approval, he didn't need to listen to those unnecessary lessons.
Currently, what he does every day is train to try and communicate with his Zanpakuto.
But I have to say, that dragon is really strong.
If he hadn't used the sacred character to deflect the thunder attack, he felt he would have been given a second chance.
Moreover, not to mention being strong, his temper is extremely explosive.
In his perception, he is the master, and even he wants to control him in turn. It's like someone he knew before playing football, who would be friendly with people and then tell them he was selfish and exploited them.
Only--
Although dealing with his Zanpakuto was difficult, he communicated with it during the battle, even though such communication was often fleeting.
But, at the very least, things are moving in the right direction.
"Connect!"
He exhaled, retracting from [Total Concentration].
"Failed again."
For half a month, he spent some time in meditation, and the progress wasn't as smooth as he imagined.
He stretched a little, planning to go out and relax.
At this moment, someone was walking towards him.
There was a smile on his face, like a spring breeze, very healing.
However, his heart skipped a beat.
Because
That's Aizen!
