Chapter 17 Xia Mu Three Seats
"I said, I have no interest in the position of a seat official. Whether it is the third seat or the ninth seat, it makes no difference to me."

Faced with Akagi Ryosuke's admission of defeat and his words of giving up the three seats, Xia Mu did not feel complacent at all. He responded calmly.

"Besides, this is just an ordinary competition. You don't need to give up the third seat to me!"

"Admittedly, I was slightly better in the final duel of swordsmanship, but this was just a duel of swordsmanship."

"For the God of Death, Zanpakuto and Zouken are just embellished abilities. The real foundation is still Zanpakuto!"

"You didn't unleash your Zanpakutō did you?"

Natsuki's eyes fell on Akagi Ryosuke, very seriously.

Akagi Ryosuke was stunned, but he also had his own persistence, "Maybe you are right, but just as you have your own ideas, I also have my own decisions. Even if I didn't perform the Shikai, what about you? Have you ever released your Zanpakutō?"

After hearing this rebuttal, Xia Mu was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that he was actually only half a step away from truly mastering the release of his Zanpakutō?

After thinking about it, I still didn’t say anything.

Zanpakutō is the greatest reliance of the God of Death. It is a unique weapon derived from the power born from the soul of the God of Death through the medium of Asahi. Not all God of Death are accustomed to telling their secrets to outsiders.

Therefore, the true power of some Death God's Zanpakutō is actually unknown.

Natsuki obtained the position of chief official simply by relying on his abilities such as zanpakutō, so in the eyes of outsiders, Natsuki definitely still possesses the power of his Zanpakutō, but the enemies he encountered in the past were not qualified to allow him to unleash his Zanpakutō.

Xia Mu wanted to say something else.

He came here today to spar with the team members simply to hone his sword skills, and had no intention of improving his rank.

At this moment, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed subtly and became solemn.

Natsuki and Akagi Ryosuke also noticed this.

They had great tacit understanding and looked sideways at the same time.

A figure wearing a white captain's haori slowly walked over.

After seeing this figure, all the Shinigami of the 11th Division looked serious.

Kenpachi Zaraki!

Now the captain of the 11th Division, the man who killed Kenpachi Kuriyashiki and inherited the title of Kenpachi.

However, although they are all Kenpachi, when facing Kenpachi Zaraki, the members of the 11th Division always find it difficult to be as calm and casual as when they faced Kenpachi Kuriyashiki. Perhaps it is because of Kenpachi Zaraki's indifference, so when facing him, they feel extremely heavy pressure. This pressure also makes it difficult for them to get close to Kenpachi Zaraki. To many members of the 11th Division, this Kenpachi is still so mysterious and so unfamiliar.

However, the opponent is Kenpachi after all.

So after the other party came over, many team members still gave him respectful titles.

"Zaraki Kenpachi!"

"team leader!"

Zaraki Kenpachi did not nod, ignoring these titles. His eyes fell on Akagi Ryosuke and Natsuki, "I saw your fight earlier. Since Natsuki 9th Seat defeated Akagi 3rd Seat, then from today on, you are the new 3rd Seat."

Obviously, Kenpachi Zaraki was not here before, but he said that he saw the fight between Natsuki and Akagi Ryosuke. If you think about this carefully, you will find that there are some problems in this sentence. But obviously, most of the Shinigami in the 11th Division do not like to use their brains. If they are good at using their brains, they would have gone to the 12th Division next door, and would not have come to the 11th Division.

What they cared more about was what Kenpachi Zaraki said.

If we talk about the third seat before, it was just that Akagi Ryosuke wanted to give it to Natsuki.

So after Kenpachi Zaraki said this, Natsuki San's position as the third seat was basically an appointment from a higher level.

Just like that, because of a competition, Xia Mu became the third seat of the 11th team.

Starting from Akagi Ryosuke, the positions of the subsequent officials were all demoted one. Fortunately, from the ninth seat onwards, because Natsuki was originally the ninth seat, they did not have to worry about being demoted further and being squeezed out of the list of officials.

……

Xia Mu had said before that in his opinion, both the ninth seat and the third seat were officials and there was no difference between them.

It was not until he actually became the third seat that he realized that this sentence was actually wrong.

There may be no difference between four seats and nine seats, but three seats are definitely not included.

Just as the vice-captain is the captain's assistant and needs to assist the captain in handling team affairs, the three seats exist to assist the vice-captain.

Also, because Kenpachi Zaraki had only been the captain of the 11th Division not long ago, he seemed to have no interest in handling team affairs, so all these team affairs fell on the shoulders of vice-captain Gosuke.

Gosuke is a middle-aged man with a rough appearance but a delicate mind.

He had followed Kenpachi Kuriyashiki for a long time, and because he had a delicate mind different from the ordinary members of the 11th Division, he was appointed as the vice-captain. After Kuriyashiki's death, Kenpachi Zaraki had no intention of changing the structure of the 11th Division, so Gosuke was still the vice-captain, and even compared to the time of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, he was even busier for a longer time.

Xia Mu gradually understood why Akagi Ryosuke was so anxious to give up the third seat.

Because all the team work was piled on the fifth assistant, he could only delegate the work to others, and the third assistant naturally became much busier.

For the members of the 11th Squadron who love fighting, dealing with such documents and reports is not an easy task.

Xia Mu didn't complain about anything.

Although it was true that he had delayed some of his time for cultivation, this kind of work made him miss it a little. In his previous life, before he was diagnosed with the disease, his job was that of a clerk. Although the content of the job was slightly different, they both involved processing documents, and he was still able to get started quickly with ease.

"Xia Mu Sanxi is really amazing. He processed all these documents so quickly."

Gosuke couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the documents that were neatly organized by Natsuki.

He also did not complain about Natsuki's predecessor, Akagi Ryosuke, and from this point of view, he seemed to be a good guy.

Xia Mu said calmly: "It's just that I dealt with similar things before I was alive."

Those who live in Soul Society are all dead, living another life in this world as spirits, so Xia Mu doesn't need to be shy about it. Many Shinigami never hesitate to mention these things, and some even talk about their experiences in their lifetime.

Of course, these are all people who died in this world and became Shinigami after their souls came to Soul Society.

Apart from these guys, there are also some Shinigami who are native to Soul Society.

Just as humans can reproduce, spirits, apart from living in a different world, are actually similar to humans and can also get married and have children.
