It looks ordinary and unremarkable.

Kensei frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his expression. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard Ukitake say:

"The initial release is sufficient."

"My Bankai is not suitable to be performed in this kind of place."

Upon hearing this, Kensei nodded: "I understand."

"In that case, let's make a quick decision."

"I'm not going to waste your time now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground exploded again, and a visible shockwave suddenly erupted.

Kensei vanished from his spot and instantly reappeared in front of Ukitake, his fist blade wreathed in tangible wind energy as he slammed it down forward.

To his surprise, Ukitake did not dodge, but instead swung the blade he was holding in his right hand and brought it down.

boom! !

The collision of the fist blade and the sword blade unleashed a terrifying impact, and the intense spiritual pressure shone in all directions, mercilessly crushing the ground. Even the demonic barrier outside the dojo rippled outwards.

"how come?!"

Kensei Rokusha looked shocked.

Because of the example of Rojuro Touhou, he didn't foolishly reveal his Bankai ability to the other party right away.

Even so, when his full-force attack struck Ukitake's blade, it was still ineffective.

Kensei said he couldn't understand it.

"Is that so?"

Ukitake's eyes lit up, as if he understood something. "It's a real pity. If it's a physical attack type Zanpakuto, Pisces Koi won't be very useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the blade in his left hand, and a familiar bluish-green light bloomed on the blade. Before Kensei's incredulous eyes, he suddenly slashed.

Instinctively, Kensei crossed his arms in front of him, trying to block Ukitake's attack with the iron-colored treads wrapped around his arms.

But the moment it touched the wall, the familiar explosive power surged into the body, and the figure was sent flying backward again, smashing the wall and creating ripples on the ghost barrier.

Seeing Kensei Muguruma's miserable state, the onlookers gasped in shock, feeling a deep sense of empathy.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Ukitake released his Shikai, and a gentle voice followed:

"Ryuko Kensei, the captain has passed the test."

I forgot to mention, this is the update for the 24th, and there will definitely be a second update on the 25th.

Chapter 184 The Girl's Dilemma

Inside the dojo, the walls had collapsed and the ground had cracked, presenting a large area of ​​ruins.

Kensei's iron-colored treads on his arms were intact, but the explosive force burst forth from his back, directly shredding the Shinigami armor to shreds.

His strong body was covered in wounds and bloodstains.

He pressed his fists against the ground, trying to stand up.

Kensei knew very well that Ukitake had held back as much as possible; if that attack had been a little stronger, he wouldn't be in this state now.

The Pisces Carp absorbs energy with its left sword and releases it with its right. The wooden sign on the rope allows for the adjustment of the speed, power, and direction of the released energy.

Ukitake had already reduced the force of his attack as much as possible during the counterattack.

On the viewing platform, everyone stared in shock at the mess in the training ground.

Ukitake Jushiro beat Rokusha Kensei to his knees, still saying that he had passed the captain's test. He was exactly the same as Kisaragi Akira.

It's no wonder they were taught by the same teacher.

When they heard Ukitake's gentle voice, the same thought popped into the minds of all the onlookers.

Captain Ukitake, who was clearly a kind, gentle, honest, and peace-loving person who treated the other squad members with the same tenderness, why did he become like this?

The crowd's feelings were somewhat complicated, and they all turned to look at the boy who was bickering with Kyoraku Shunsui.

"See? I guessed right!"

Asuka Akira said smugly, "As long as Kensei Rokusha releases his Bankai, it means the battle is almost over."

"Look, this guy has already collapsed before Senior Brother Fuzhu even exerted his strength."

Kyoraku sighed helplessly, looking as if he was unwilling to accept the reality.

Kensei Muguruma's Bankai release was so powerful; he would definitely be the protagonist template in other novels or shonen manga.

However, their performance was so poor that it really dampened everyone's spirits.

As for the units of measurement, Ruyueming was absolutely right.

If Kyoraku had to pick the weakest among all the captains, it would definitely be Kensei right now.

With Chojiro Sasaki's announcement, the captain's assessment officially came to an end.

Because the 46th Chamber of the Shinigami Academy was still in a Schrödinger's cat state, the appointment letter for Kensei Muguruma was quickly approved by the First Division.

However, Senjumaru has been promoted, and the captain's sewing work has been transferred to a department called "Shin-o Sewing Dormitory".

It can be understood as a tailor department that serves the five noble families, somewhat similar to the Shin-O Seikyo Institute.

The captain's haori is a rather expensive outfit compared to the regular shihaka.

According to members of the Shin-o Seireitei-ryō (Imperial Sewing Hall), the cost of a Captain's Haori is much higher than that of the Kensei-tsurugi (Star-Piercing Clasp), and it is quite complicated to sew, requiring a lot of time and effort.

In terms of value alone, it is only slightly inferior to the silver-white floral gauze exclusive to the Kuchiki family.

The captain's assessment was successfully completed without any major incidents, and everything in Soul Society seemed to have returned to peace.

The only thing that surprised the Soul Reapers was a few short messages published in the Seireitei Newsletter.

Shocking! The standards for captain combat strength are ridiculously exaggerated!

The Untold Story of Captain Ukitake and Captain Rokkaku!

This is terrifying! Captain Kisaragi's inside information concerns the future of Soul Society!

……

Originally, the work of publishing each issue of the Seireitei Newsletter was handled by the Ninth Division, but the Sixth Division Captain was recuperating from injuries in the Fourth Division.

The relevant content was handed over to the Eighth Division.

Because the headlines were so sensational, several issues of the newspaper sold out immediately, forcing the newspaper to work overtime to reprint them.

It's worth mentioning that Yamamoto, seeing how popular "Seireitei News" was after Kyoraku Shunsui took over, simply included it in the mission scope of the Eighth Division.

From then on, the publication of the Seireitei Newsletter had nothing to do with the Ninth Division.

Upon hearing this news, Kyoraku Shunsui's vision went black. He cried out, "The moon has misled me!" and then collapsed to the ground.

…………

The dark alley was silent.

An orange head peeked out cautiously, observing the Grim Reaper walking back and forth on the street. Only after confirming that no one recognized her did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected of me, I managed to fool that little girl Yachiru with just a few tricks."

"Once we leave this place, the sky's the limit and the sea's the limit."

Gazing at the freedom that was so close at hand, a hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in Rangiku's cunning eyes.

Compared to life in the Eleventh Division, is freedom really that much better?

She couldn't help but recall her life experiences during this period. Although the Eleventh Division was mostly filled with shouts of fighting and killing, they trusted each other and entrusted their backs to their teammates.

This is something that Rangiku, who grew up in Rukongai, finds extremely difficult to understand.

Because of the food shortage in Rukongai, she developed a wary personality towards the outside world at a very young age.

Anyone who approaches you without a reason must have ill intentions.

But I've been here for so long.

The Grim Reaper who brought him back, Ruyueming, never once showed his face.

After handing herself over to Kusajishi Yachiru, she simply became a hands-off manager, seemingly having forgotten about the person named Matsumoto Rangiku.

This inevitably made the girl wonder what was going on in that guy named Ruyueming's head.

"or……"

Rangiku hesitated, then said, "How about we try staying in the Eleventh Division for a while longer?"

As she muttered to herself, she was immediately startled by her own thoughts.

When she first joined the Eleventh Division, she longed for freedom so much that she ran away many times when Yachiru was stealing konpeito.

But each time, he was ruthlessly arrested.

Eight thousand rabbit-like people, though small, were incredibly clever and could always spot their targets in a crowd at a glance.

Now that he has finally escaped from the Eleventh Division, his heart has begun to waver in the face of freedom.

"Let fate decide!"

Ranju gritted her teeth, looked around, and then plucked a small flower from the roadside weeds.

If it's an odd number, go back; if it's an even number, go pursue freedom.

"Go back, freedom, go back..."

The girl squatted in an inconspicuous corner, counting the petals with a serious expression.

In the blink of an eye, a small flower was plucked bare.

"free……"

A hint of panic flashed in Rangiku's eyes as she muttered to herself, "This doesn't count. It's just a trial run. The next flower will be the real start."

Then, without hesitation, she plucked flowers from the pile of weeds.
