Chapter 20 He Must Understand Me!
That's Tachikawa Shin…
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu looked at the handsome boy, thinking he was quite easy to notice.
She had seen Shin's file, which included a photo, but he was much more outstanding in person than in the picture, not just in appearance, but also in spiritual pressure and temperament.
And when Shin noticed Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu's gaze lingering on him, he immediately realized that information about his Zanpakuto might have already reached the Fourth Division.
However, she is really tall!
If he stood next to a girl like her, the pressure would be immense.
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu rarely substituted for classes, but fortunately, she had prepared for it beforehand.
Koten classes in the Spiritual Arts Academy are merely a sub-category under Kido classes, far less important than Hado and Bakudo, and the Spiritual Arts Academy does not teach advanced Koten.
"Today, we're going to touch upon the theoretical knowledge of advanced Koten.
Advanced Koten is very different from ordinary Koten.
If mastered, it can be much more convenient in practical application and treating the injured.
I also hope everyone can develop more interest in Koten."
After Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu finished speaking, she picked up a piece of chalk and turned to write on the blackboard.
In a short while, the blackboard was covered with dense writing.
The students felt a bit bewildered after reading it.
"It's a bit… abstruse," Shūhei couldn't help but say after carefully reading the content on the blackboard.
"Aoga, do you understand it?"
Aoga, who had the best Koten class grades in the class, pondered, "It's a bit difficult."
Shūhei turned to look at the surrounding students again, including Kanisawa.
Many of them looked confused, and some started whispering, saying things like "What is this written?" and "I can't understand it at all."
After Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu finished writing, she began to explain on her own, and the content directly skipped the basic Koten theoretical knowledge.
Those in the class with poor Koten class grades felt like they were hearing a foreign language.
Hisagi Shuuhei first took notes of the content on the blackboard, then noticed that Shin was also listening attentively.
"Do you understand?" he asked softly.
"Barely, but this is something I haven't studied," Shin replied.
His daily cultivation and reading in the library did not cover the Koten category.
Hisagi Shuuhei knew that Shin was not a lazy person.
They were classmates when they first enrolled, and at that time, Shin was very studious, listening attentively to all classes.
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu was not a very eloquent person, and asking her to substitute teach was indeed a bit difficult for her, but this was a task assigned by Retsu Unohana, so she could only try her best to do it well.
Halfway through her lecture, she noticed that most of the students in the classroom were already dozing off, which made her heart sink.
Was she not explaining well?
But there was nothing wrong with the content, or was it that everyone wasn't interested in Koten…
And the "advanced Koten" she was teaching was only relative to Spiritual Arts Academy students; if she taught truly advanced Koten, the students would understand even less, right?
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu became nervous.
After scanning the students, she noticed that Tachikawa Shin was looking at her with bright, Bright eyes eyes.
He must understand, he's also interested…
This made Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as Tachikawa Shin was her main goal for this trip.
It made sense, after all, he possessed a Healing Arts System Zanpakuto, so how could he not be interested in Koten?
[Affection: 14]
Shin suddenly raised an eyebrow, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
He smiled, he must have understood!
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu clearly noticed Shin's change in expression, which greatly encouraged her, and she immediately continued her lecture.
The hour-long class ended under Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu's continuous Koten theory.
It wasn't until the dismissal bell rang that Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu suddenly came back to her senses, secretly wondering why she had gone over time.
She had been paying attention to Tachikawa Shin's reactions during the lecture, and finding him attentive and energetic throughout, she couldn't resist extending the content beyond what she had originally prepared.
But then she noticed that the students in the classroom were all sighing in relief and showing expressions of "finally class is over," which still made her feel a bit disappointed.
It seems everyone really isn't interested in Koten.
She still dutifully said the last sentence: "That's all for today's class.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Koten is a very profound and wonderful subject.
If you are willing to work hard, you can gain unexpected rewards.
I hope everyone explores and studies more after class."
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu left the classroom.
Hisagi Shuuhei stretched and couldn't help but complain, "This is the hardest class I've ever taken."
Previously, when he studied Kido, the teachers' explanations were progressive, and he was able to gradually understand them without encountering too much difficulty.
But the content of this class, the more Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu explained, the more outlandish it became, and by the end, Shūhei felt like he was listening to a foreign language.
He saw Shin in deep thought and asked, "Are you very interested in Koten?"
"It's alright.
It's always good to learn more."
Aoga, nearby, said, "I feel that Vice-Captain Kotetsu explained it very well.
Our teachers never teach such deep things.
It would be great if she could come substitute teach often."
Koten was a subject he excelled at, which was also related to his inherent interest in Koten.
"Spare me," Shūhei said.
The few of them chatted for a bit and were about to get up and leave the classroom when the class monitor suddenly rushed over: "Tachikawa student, Teacher Oizumi is calling for you."
"Okay, I understand."
At the same time, in the classroom, Oizumi Rensuke was talking to Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu.
"Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu, thank you very much for coming to teach the students, but… what you taught might be a bit too profound for the Spiritual Arts Academy students.
They haven't been exposed to advanced Koten."
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu, however, said, "Only by being exposed can they understand Koten better and spark interest in Koten.
There were still a few students in class who could understand, like Tachikawa Shin.
He listened very attentively in class."
"Who? Tachikawa Shin? Attentive?" Oizumi Rensuke sounded as if he had heard something incredible.
Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu nodded: "Yes!"
"…"
Oizumi Rensuke remembered that Tachikawa Shin's Zanpakuto was of the Healing Arts System, a fact that had spread throughout the Spiritual Arts Academy, and perhaps because of this, Tachikawa student became interested in Koten class.
Just as they were talking, Shin arrived.
Looking at the boy at the office door, Oizumi Rensuke waved him in, his gaze thoughtful as he looked at Shin.
He himself was once a member of the Fourth Division, and after leaving the Fourth Division, he came to work at the Spiritual Arts Academy.
Naturally, he hoped that more people would be willing to actively join his former Squad.
And Shin was also a very excellent student.
"Then you two talk.
I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After Oizumi Rensuke left, Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu finally got a closer look at the boy.
His face was very clean and pleasant to look at.
Thinking that this would be a junior in her Squad in the future, Lieutenant Kiyone Kotetsu showed a sincere and gentle smile on her face.
"Tachikawa student, do you like Koten?"
