Chapter 49: Vacant Vice Captain
Happy times are always short-lived.

Even if Xia Mu intended to let the 11th Division return to its former state, it would be impossible for them to hold cocktail parties frequently.

Fighting is the main responsibility of the 11th Squadron.

In the previous few months, due to Gui Yancheng's reckless operations, the 11th Division had become a mess, not to mention the situation was very bad, especially Gui Yancheng, who even wanted to swallow up the pensions of the dead team members. This was something Xia Mu could not tolerate.

Now that Xia Mu has become the captain, in addition to cleaning up the mess in Guiyan City, when combat missions come and he, the captain, is required to take action, he will not hesitate to do so.

But this also brings up a whole new problem.

Every time after participating in a battle, I would return to the squad and deal with team affairs.

Busy, too busy.

There is no time to practice at all!
Although the clerical work of the 11th Division is not much compared to that of other divisions, it still takes up a lot of Xia Mu's time.

Xia Mu also knew the reason.

The main reason is that the 11th Division does not have a deputy captain yet.

When Kenpachi Zaraki succeeded to the throne, Gosuke was the vice-captain.

Gosuke succeeded and became the vice-captain.

Gui Yancheng succeeded to the throne and he is still the deputy captain.

But now, after he took the throne, the position of deputy captain has become vacant.

Don't think that it's just one person missing, but the existence of a vice-captain is very important for a squad. He is not just the second most powerful person in the squad after the captain, but also the captain's right-hand man. In many squads, the captain only participates in the decision-making of major events, and the squad affairs are all handled by the vice-captain.

The most obvious examples are the 8th and 13th squads.

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, is lazy and likes to slack off whenever he has free time. Most of the team affairs are handled by his vice-captain. The captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro, is a serious and responsible person, but his health is not good and he cannot handle team affairs for a long time. The vice-captain shares a lot of work for him.

"So, Ryosuke, are you interested in being the vice-captain?"

Xia Mu looked at Akagi Ryosuke in front of him and asked him.

After Gosuke became Kenpachi and Natsuki was promoted to vice-captain, Akagi Ryosuke returned to the third seat again, but there were still some changes. There were a few more scars on Akagi Ryosuke's face, and these were visible scars. Under his Shinigami suit, there were many invisible scars. The main reason was that the battles were too frequent in recent years. Even Kenpachi Gosuke was seriously injured and had to rest. As the third seat, Akagi Ryosuke followed Gosuke in the charge and suffered heavy injuries.

Fortunately, he did not become disabled.

Not all Shinigami are like Captain Yamamoto in the original work. After fighting with Aizen, he lost an arm, but his combat capability was not affected. For the rest of the Shinigami, as long as they are disabled due to injuries, their combat ability will be affected and they can only retire obediently.

For some Death Gods, being able to retire is a good thing.

But for the 11th Squadron's Death Gods who love fighting, this is something difficult to accept. Rather than becoming disabled, they would rather die in battle.

"Vice-captain? Me?"

Akagi Ryosuke was stunned. "Forget it, Captain, you know me. I'm not good at handling documents and such. To be honest, if I can, I don't even want to be the third seat."

Natsuki really knew Akagi Ryosuke well.

The third seat is the adjutant's assistant. Just like the deputy captain assists the captain in handling team affairs, the third seat needs to assist the deputy captain.

Some squads have heavy team affairs, and the captain, vice-captain, and third officer may even be in the captain's room together to handle documents.

The 11th Division has not reached this situation yet, and in the past, Natsuki rarely took the initiative to ask Akagi Ryosuke to help him.

It's not that he likes to do everything by himself, but Akagi Ryosuke is really not good at this kind of work.

"It seems to be the case. It seems that I can only look for someone else."

Xia Mu did not force Akagi Ryosuke to become the vice-captain, he just asked casually.

Since Akagi Ryosuke is not able to do it, let's go find someone else.

A vice-captain does not necessarily have to be an outstanding fighter.

As long as you have the fighting power of a chief officer, it will be enough.

The main reason why Xia Mu chose a vice-captain was that he hoped the other party could share some of his work.

He also asked for the opinions of many officers in the 11th Squadron.

There were some people who were very interested in the position of deputy captain, but when Xia Mu took out the test paper he had prepared in advance, he found that these guys did not even have the most basic common sense. Xia Mu did not trust their ability to handle team affairs, so he had to give up.

The busy and fulfilling days are gradually passing.

Although Natsuki defeated Kiganjou and stood at the top of the Gotei 13.

But he did not relax himself because of this.

When Xia Mu thought of those powerful guys in the original book, he felt that the road ahead was long and he needed to become even stronger.

Moreover, Kenpachi's position itself is a very dangerous position.

The unique captain inheritance ceremony destined him to face challenges from various powerful people.

No one can tell when a character similar to Kenpachi Zaraki will appear, challenge him, and kill him.

Although Xia Mu had no fear when death really came, no one wanted to die if they could survive, and he did not have any cheats that could resurrect him after death and make him even more powerful.

Bang bang bang bang! !
In the training ground hidden in the mountains, two figures kept flashing by, and the collision of fists and feet contained powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy.

The Death God's White Fight is not simply a fight with bare hands.

When fighting, it is also necessary to gather spiritual power on the body so that you have enough strength when you move your hands and feet. Otherwise, it is just a simple fight, and everyone can do it, and it is impossible to derive a power system specifically from it.

The existence of spiritual power allows the god of death to do many things that ordinary people cannot do.

If released to the outside, it can perform ghost magic.

Simply applying it to the body can give it powerful defensive capabilities and striking power.

Another punch was thrown.

The two fists collided in mid-air, and invisible energy spread out from the middle. The two figures instantly distanced themselves from each other, and finally stopped attacking, revealing their figures. They were Xia Mu and Ye Yi.

“You really work hard!”

Ye Yi shook her fists. She didn't have any natural supernatural powers, so she was at a disadvantage when facing Xia Mu, a man. Apart from anything else, she felt a little painful after her fists collided with Xia Mu's.

"You have already become Kenpachi."

"Precisely because I became the captain, I dare not relax at all. Only by continuing to become stronger can I live up to this title." Xia Mu replied to Ye Yi.
