Restricted Death

Chapter 106 Rising Waves

When Xin came out of the captain's office, he found that Hu Cheyuyin was still waiting for him.

"Sister Yongyin."

"What does Vice Captain Quebu want to see you about?"

"The captain called me over to tell him something."

Shin then repeated to her what he had just said to Captain Yamamoto about the sparring session with the entire Gotei 13.

After hearing this, Kotetsu Yuyin was greatly surprised, and then asked: "Xin, did you mention this matter to the captain?"

Xin nodded slightly.

Hu Che Yong Yin stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling a sense of fear. She couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you discuss this with me in advance?"

Xin chuckled when he heard this: "I originally wanted to discuss this with Sister Yongyin, but Sister Yongyin seems to have been very busy recently. Plus, I was also busy treating Captain Ukitake, so I forgot about it for a while."

Logically speaking, this kind of thing must be discussed with the deputy captain.

However, Unohana Retsu had told him before that he could take full responsibility for such matters.

Kotetsu Yuune couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on his face. Xin's words were implying that she had been avoiding him recently.

Xin added: "Anyway, this is a good thing."

Kotetsu Yuune looked hesitant: "But, in the end, it still depends on the result of the duel, right? If we lose..."

Isn't competing with other teams the weakness of the Fourth Team?
Xin just smiled confidently: "Don't you still have me?"

"..."

The two returned to the 4th Division barracks and went to see Unohana Retsu at the same time, informing him of everything that happened at the vice-captain's performance review meeting.

Unohana looked at Nobu thoughtfully upon hearing this, and then revealed a strange smile.

"Are you really doing this just to lighten the burden on the members of the Fourth Division?"

"Of course." Xin responded with his hands spread out, looking innocent.

Unohana Retsu didn't say anything more, just casually said: "It's up to you."

The captain of the Gotei 13 has an extremely high status in Seireitei, even above those ordinary nobles. As long as he doesn't do anything out of line, basically nothing can shake his position.

That's why Unohana Retsu allowed Shin to do this.

Two days later, Shin was summoned to the First Squad again. This time, he met Chojiro Suzuki, the vice-captain of the Suzuki Squad. The purpose of calling him here was to discuss with him the specific procedures and rules for the internal competitions within the Gotei 13.

In the past two days, Xin had already prepared a report and handed it over.

After reading it, Chojiro Suzuki pondered for a moment. He said, "When you first proposed the creation of the student union, you submitted a report like this, right?"

Xin Ze smiled and said, "I'll do more preparations, so you won't have to worry too much. If there's anything you think is inappropriate, you can change it. I've also marked some of the things that the captain has agreed to."

Suzu Chojiro put the documents away.

"I see."

A week later, the First Division issued such a notice to the other divisions.

A friendly exchange meeting within the Gotei 13 will be held in the middle of next month at the 4th Division barracks, with all divisions required to send representatives. Each division will be required to send three members, up to the rank of vice-captain. If a vice-captain attends the meeting, a regular member who has not held a chief officer position within the past three years must also attend.

As for the content of the competition, there are not many restrictions. The only requirement is that no one's life is lost. Getting injured is not a big deal. Anyway, the venue is set up in the Fourth Squad's barracks.

The one with the most wins in this exchange meeting will receive a large amount of team building funds as a reward.

Those who lose the most games will have to take over the cleaning work of Soul Society of the Fourth Division for a year until the next exchange conference is held.

As soon as this announcement was made, it caused an uproar in the quiet Soul Society.

Some people are confused and puzzled, while others are eager to try it out.

Some people also guessed that the Fourth Division was secretly pushing this matter, otherwise why would the location be set inside the Fourth Division’s barracks, and why would the loser’s punishment be the cleaning work of Seireitei that should have belonged to the Fourth Division?

Over the past few days, many people began to inquire about this matter, and learned that the Fourth Division had sought out the Eleventh Division and the Thirteenth Division for sparring in the past two months, which made them even more certain that this matter was promoted by the Fourth Division.

However, since the first squadron has issued the notice, the other squadrons naturally have no choice but to carry it out.

The one-month deadline is tight, and each division has begun preparing for it.

This exchange and competition conference has actually added a lot of vitality to the usually peaceful Soul Society. This kind of competition covering the entire thirteen teams has never been seen before.

Among the Thirteen Teams at the moment, there are naturally more people who have high expectations.

During this period, Zhibo Kaiyan came to see Xin and asked him if this matter was caused by Xin.

"The captain-general found out that I had asked the 11th Squadron to compete with yours, and then this exchange meeting for the 13th Squadron was held," Xin said.

Shiba Kaiyan pondered, "The punishment for the loser will also come from you, right?"

Xin asked in return: "What's wrong?"

Zhibo Haiyan fell silent: "Xin, I don't know whether you did it intentionally or not, but if you do this, it may make some people unhappy."

Xin couldn't help but laugh. "Who would be dissatisfied? My actions have made the members of our Fourth Division very happy. If I win, they will be even happier. As the third seat of the Fourth Division, isn't it right for me to do something to make my own members happy?"

Upon hearing this, Zhibo Haiyan just sighed: "I don't know what to say to you."

Xin suddenly smiled and asked Shiba Kaiyan: "Are you afraid that the 13th Division will lose and then have to sweep the streets?"

Shiba Kaiyan was startled for a moment, then frowned and said, "If the 13th Division really loses, then there's nothing to say."

Xin laughed heartily. "Yes, you all have nothing to say. I believe everyone has nothing to say. It's impossible to satisfy everyone no matter what you do. Just satisfy the people around you."

Zhibo Haiyan was stunned for a while, then suddenly her eyes trembled slightly: "I believe you..."

"I didn't say anything." Xin said with a smile.

Zhibo Haiyan couldn't help but say, "But I don't understand why you would do such a thing. You and them... shouldn't have any conflicts."

Although the person in front of him was born in Rukongai, he didn't look like a cynical person at all.

Xin shook his head slightly and said, "You misjudged me. I'm not attacking anyone. I just want to do something good for the Fourth Division. But since you also said 'they', shouldn't I say 'we'?"

"..."

Shiba Kaiyan did not respond, but turned and left the Fourth Division.
