Restricted Death

Chapter 69 The Last Year

Madarame Ikkaku never expected that Tachigawa Nobuyuki would be assigned to the Fourth Division!
After confirming that he was not hallucinating, he immediately thought that the people in Seireitei must have gone crazy.

This guy has such swordsmanship. Even if he doesn't come to their 11th Division, he should not go to the 4th Division!
Madarame Ikkaku asked persistently, "You didn't want to join the Fourth Division, did you? What's so good about the Fourth Division? With such swordsmanship, you'd be completely wasting your time there!"

Xin said slowly: "My Zanpakutō happens to be of the Kaido type, so I am destined to join the Fourth Division after graduation."

Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika were even more confused, and the same thought came to their minds.

No, why is his Zanpakutō a Kaido-type?!

Xin looked at the two people's somewhat blank expressions and laughed again: "Why, is it incredible?"

Madarame Ikkaku said seriously, "You must be a lunatic! Or a schizophrenic psychopath!"

He originally thought that if the other party could come to the 11th Division, not only would their division gain an elite, but he would also be able to frequently compete with him.

Now that expectation has been dashed.

He understood what a Kaido-type Zanpakutō meant. No one who possessed such a Zanpakutō was qualified to compete with the Fourth Division. Every year when the divisions recruited new members, the Fourth Division was always the one that suffered the most and needed to transfer some of its graduates from other divisions.

Madarame was in a state of confusion, and then he asked Nobu, "Did you learn all your swordsmanship from the Spiritual Arts Academy?"

If the Spiritual Arts Academy could reach this level, he would regret not being able to study there. However, he could come to the Spiritual Arts Academy to ask for advice from the kendo teacher.

Xin smiled and said, "I guess so, but I'm extremely talented and I learned a lot of things on my own."

Madarame was speechless. This kid was even more arrogant than himself.

There is capital to be rampant.

He had never heard of anything about Tachigawa Nobuyuki, and he had never been interested in the rumors about Soul Society.

In the end, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa each left the Spiritual Arts Institute with a strange feeling in their hearts.

Madarame Ikkaku didn't care about losing the sparring match. What he cared about was the person himself, Tachigawa Nobu.

Originally, Zhiba Haiyan only came to entrust him to come to the Spiritual Arts Academy to practice with someone, and didn't say anything else. I have to ask this kid Haiyan about it later!
"What do you think of that guy?" Madarame Ikkaku asked Yumichika.

Yumichika watched the entire fight between the two and saw some things more comprehensively than Madarame Ikkaku.

"He's very good with the sword."

"I know."

Yumichika shook his head. "He's stronger than we could ever imagine. Our fighting style relies entirely on immense strength and speed. It's called swordsmanship, but in reality, there's no system. To us, a sword is just a tool for slashing, but he's not like that. In his hands, a sword is a true sword. He can see through all your attacks and every move you make. So no matter what you attack, it won't work unless you can far surpass his speed and strength."

Madarame Ikkaku fell silent upon hearing this. His fighting style could be said to be identical to that of his own captain.

But the difference is that the captain is more rough and brutal than him, and will not even dodge attacks that can be avoided.

"Ikko, I saw it clearly just now. In the previous sparring, it was completely easy for him to defeat you. The reason he exchanged a few more moves with you seemed to be that he wanted to see your full capabilities."

Madarame Ikkaku was a little annoyed when he heard this: "You sound really annoying."

Yumichika chuckled faintly, "But that's the truth. It's not a wise move to challenge him in swordsmanship."

Madarame Ikkaku added, "It's really... even more annoying that a guy like this can't come to the 11th Division!"

Yumichika mused, "Maybe..."

"What could it be?"

Yumichika smiled again and said, "Nothing..." After returning to the 11th Division barracks, they saw a pink figure rushing towards them.

"Bald boys, you're back!"

Veins popped up on Madarame Ikkaku's smooth head when he heard that. The only person in the entire 11th Division who dared to call him that was his vice-captain.

But he had no temper towards this little loli and could only endure it. Seeing Yumichika laughing there, he became furious: "What are you laughing at!"

Behind Yachiru, an unusually tall and burly figure slowly approached.

"I couldn't find you all afternoon. Where did you go?"

The sparring with Madarame Ikkaku failed to satisfy or entertain Shin, so he thought of going back to look for Shiba Kaien.

But Zhiba Kaiyan seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and never came to the Spiritual Arts Academy again. It was difficult for Xin to find his home to discuss things with him.

After a heavy snowfall, the Spiritual Arts Academy also ushered in the end of this year's semester.

Minamida Hidezawa still routinely asked Xin whether he had any plans to graduate this year, but after Xin rejected the idea, he didn't ask any further questions.

Although Xin often skipped classes, he did not miss the final exam.

Likewise, Hisagi Shuhei and Kanizawa did not choose to graduate early, but instead chose to complete their final year at the Spiritual Arts Academy like Nobuyuki.

Hinamori, Rukia and the others have also finished all their studies for this year. It is worth mentioning that Abarai Renji was called by the teacher to persuade him to repeat the grade because he did very poorly in the Kidō class. This immediately became a joke for Hinamori and the others to tease Renji.

Of course, Renji didn't want to repeat a grade. He knew that he would no longer be able to achieve anything in the way of ghosts, so he simply gave up this course.

In the final exam, Renci barely passed the test due to missing a score for one subject.

The Spiritual Arts Academy ushered in a very long vacation.

Xin continued to live in the Spiritual Arts Academy as usual. To him, the school had become his home.

As for the Zaraki district, he had been living in a place without a fixed address when he was there. He wandered around looking for food, fighting and killing people...

Xiubing also stayed to accompany him. He also came from Rukongai. Although his situation was not as extreme as Xin's, it was similar.

Renji didn't go back either. Rukia had already become the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, so there was no need for him to go back alone.

The Spiritual Arts Academy became very deserted. During this period, in addition to accompanying Shubei in training, Xin also gave guidance to Renci, which made Renci feel extremely surprised.

During the holidays, Hinamori came occasionally to accompany them in training, mainly because of the letter.

Rukia had never seen him, probably because the Kuchiki family had a strict family tradition.

Fortunately, time flies quickly, and the day for the Spiritual Arts Academy to start school has arrived in the blink of an eye.

As the president of the student union, Xin had previously participated in the admissions work of the Spiritual Arts Academy.

He scanned the entire list of qualified individuals before finding two familiar names.

Shiba Kaiyan finally allowed her younger brother to enroll in school.

This year, the Spiritual Arts Academy welcomed a genius rarely seen in a century.

A new student named Hitsugaya Toshiro shocked the entire school by scoring a sixth-level spiritual power in the entrance test.
