Restricted Death

Chapter 26: Flower of the Rabbit

And listening to Unohana Retsu's words that seemed to be coming to Nobu's rescue, Shiba Isshin couldn't help but say, "Is Captain Unohana starting to protect his future team members now?"

Unohana didn't deny it, but said gently, "I think this student is a good kid with excellent academic performance and good character, but he's nothing like what you say. So I'm just being fair."

Is he both good in character and in study?
Unohana's words made Matsumoto Rangiku and Shiba Kaien couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

It is true that Xin's academic performance is among the best in the school, but his character should at least not be described as excellent.

Xin Wen also responded: "Thank you for the compliment, Captain Unohana."

He then addressed the captains and lieutenants, "Dear captains, I am happy to accompany you and explain the Spiritual Arts Academy's cultural festival. If you would like to wander around on your own, you are welcome to do so."

Unohana smiled and said, "Then please come with me and Yuine for a stroll."

Her words clearly meant that she wanted to take the letter away alone. The remaining captains looked helpless, but the one who spoke was Unohana Retsu. In terms of seniority, she was an old senior who worked in the same period as the captain-general. Of course, these words could not be said in front of her.

"As you command." However, Xin still said to the other captains, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, the student union is really short of manpower. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing that Xin came alone, the captains didn't make any preparations at all. However, they were not stingy people, so it was easier if there was no one to receive them.

Xin took Unohana Retsu and Kotetsu Yuune and left first, walking towards the most lively area of ​​the central square.

Matsumoto Rangiku didn't want to wait on these captains, so she said to Shiba Isshin, "Captain, I want to go for a walk on my own, is that okay?"

"up to you."

She immediately called out to the Vice Captain of the 8th Division, Nanao Ise, "Let's go, Nanao."

Ise Nanao was also very casual. She didn't even ask her captain for instructions and just followed Matsumoto Rangiku away.

The relationship between the captains of the thirteen teams is very harmonious, and the relationship between the captains and their adjutants is even closer. The captain has the power to appoint and dismiss the deputy captains, so the adjutants of each team are promoted by the captain.

Seeing the scene suddenly become deserted, Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but say, "Are we being left here?"

After graduating from here hundreds of years ago, he has come to the Spiritual Arts Academy many times, but each time he came, the Spiritual Arts Academy basically welcomed him with great fanfare. This is the first time that it has been so deserted.

Aizen pushed his glasses and smiled, "There's nothing wrong with this. Just like what Tachigawa Nobu said just now, today's festival is for the students of the Spiritual Arts Academy to have fun and relax. It wouldn't be fun to make it too formal."

Ukitake Jushiro also smiled and said, "Then let's go for a stroll together."

There are many simple tents neatly arranged in the central square of the Spiritual Arts Academy. Each tent is a stall managed by a class. They are free to do whatever they want here. Most people sell snacks and small items here, and some people set up some small games such as chess and cards, and welcome passers-by to play together.

Bulletin boards from each class can be seen everywhere on the road. In addition to students wearing red and white school uniforms, there are also many reapers who gather in front of some stalls and talk to the students.

"It's so lively." Hu Cheyuyin couldn't help but sigh.

In Soul Society, you rarely see such a bustling street market. The Soul Society is always very deserted. There are markets in the areas near the front of Rukongai, but they are nothing compared to the bustle here.

The students' faces were full of enthusiasm, and they stood in front of their own stalls and shouted loudly.

Neither Unohana Retsu nor Kotetsu Yuune had ever imagined that there would be such a strong vitality in the Spiritual Arts Academy.

"Did you plan all this?" Unohana Retsu asked Xin.

"It's the result of the joint efforts of all the teachers and students of the Spiritual Arts Academy," Xin said modestly. "All members of the Student Union and the leaders of the Spiritual Arts Academy are responsible for the overall preparation and construction, while each stall is planned by the students of each class."

"Then the idea of ​​this cultural festival was yours, right?" Unohana Retsu asked again.

Xin chuckled: "It just came to my mind suddenly, but I didn't expect the leaders of the Spiritual Arts Academy to be so supportive."

"Very good." Unohana Retsu said softly, "No wonder the Tenth and Thirteenth Divisions are vying for you."

"You're too kind. Vice Captain Matsumoto and Vice Captain Shiba didn't fight for me. They just suggested that I join the 10th and 13th squads after graduation. I haven't thought about my plans after graduation yet."

"Have you thought about it now?" Unohana Retsu looked at him with a smile. Shin pondered, "My homeroom teacher, Minami-sensei, told me that because my Zanpakutō is of the Kaido type, it's perfect for the Fourth Division. Vice Captain Kotetsu also mentioned this to me when he was filling in for us."

Unohana Retsu's smile remained unchanged: "So do you want to join the Fourth Division?"

Xin immediately said, "Of course I want to go!"

This time he did not make random arguments, but expressed his attitude directly. He knew in his heart that the captain of Unohana in front of him was different from Shiba Isshin. Although she looked beautiful and gentle on the outside, she was dark inside!

Kotetsu Yuune on the side also took the opportunity to say: "Tachigawa-san, the Fourth Division is definitely the most suitable division for you. Only by coming to the Fourth Division can your Zanpakutō be better developed."

Unohana Retsu then asked, "Now that we're in Division 4, how many seats do you want? Didn't Vice Captain Shiba say you don't even want three?"

Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Unohana, you're flattering me. I just want to pass the final exam and the team entrance assessment. How can I even dream of the third seat? Besides, I'm a complete beginner in Kaido. I'm not sure if I can be a normal team member."

Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. You are so talented, and you have talents in other areas. I believe you will achieve great things in the Fourth Division."

"Lend your blessings."

As a team leader, Unohana Retsu attracted countless eyes along the way in the square.

The students were all surprised that even a big shot like the captain had come.

At this moment, Unohana Retsu suddenly stopped and her eyes seemed to be attracted by something. Xin also followed her gaze and saw a familiar figure.

This small area is where the first-time students gather. The stall managed by Class A of the first-time students did not set up a tent, but instead built a wooden platform with a sign next to it.

"Kendo Exchange Center..."

The notice also stated that if you win, you can get a mysterious gift, and if you don't win, you can still get a consolation prize.

Xin remembered that he saw them when he was counting the paving plans submitted by each class. Because they needed a space, Xin placed them on the edge of the square.

At this moment, a red-haired figure on the platform was sparring with another student in kendo.

The red-haired figure was naturally Abarai Renji, and Shinya felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar. He seemed to be a senior student, and seemed to be in the same class as himself.

What surprised Xin a little was that Renci actually fought back and forth with this person. Renci's attack was fierce and swift, with great momentum, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Abarai Renji has no talent in Kidō, but he is extremely talented in Kendo, Shunpo, and Hakuta.

After all, he is the strongest vice-captain in the future.

Seeing that Unohana Retsu was watching with great interest, Nobu asked, "Captain Unohana, are you interested?"

Unohana Retsu said softly, "That child's fighting style is quite suitable for the 11th Division."

After graduating from Mirai, Abarai Renji first went to the 11th Division, where he was mentored by Madarame Ikkaku and Ayase Gawa Mikuni, and later became the vice-captain of the 6th Division.

Unohana Rei suddenly asked Xin again, "I heard that you are also good at kendo?"

His confidence suddenly skipped a beat. He always felt like he had forgotten something, but now he finally remembered it.

"How about you go up and spar with this classmate?"

As Unohana Retsu had just finished speaking, the senior student who was sparring with Abarai Renji was forced by Renji to fall from the platform with a thud.

【Unohana Retsu】
