Chapter 53: Encounter with Aizen
Students who are able to enter the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy have the qualifications to become true Death Gods. Under the training of the school, their spiritual power will grow rapidly shortly after entering school. However, spiritual power is only a prerequisite for determining whether a person has the qualifications.

Whether a Grim Reaper is qualified or not also depends on his/her learning ability.

If one lacks learning ability and is unable to transform one's strong qualifications into strength, it will still be useless.

Xia Mu asked Kazuhiko Shida who was standing beside him, "Has this student been noticed by other squads?"

During the conversation with Kazuhiko Sugida, Natsuki learned that many people from the squadron had come before him and a list had been screened in advance.

"As for the Eighth Division, I am somewhat interested in it."

Kazuhiko Shida said.

"Squad 8?"

Xia Mu's eyes flickered, and without saying anything more, he immediately turned to Kazuhiko Sugida and said, "I am also interested in her!"

There was no extra words to say.

After all, this is just a preliminary screening, and we haven't waited until the real graduation season. After graduation, the official admission letter will need to be issued by the team.

After talking with Kazuhiko Sugita, Natsuki continued to read.

Unfortunately, apart from this familiar figure, there are no other familiar people.

This is not surprising. After all, the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts has graduates every year. It is obviously impossible for those acquaintances in Xia Mu's memory to graduate in the same year.

Leaving from here, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved.

We have indeed found a suitable candidate.

After watching Natsuki, Kenpachi, leave, Kazuhiko Sugida withdrew his gaze and looked back at the student roster.

"Yadomaru Lisa?"

"You are such a lucky little guy. I don't know what's so special about you that you were noticed by two squads."

As a teacher of Kidō class at the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts, Kazuhiko Sugida knew this student. He was quite talented in Kidō and his mind was extremely meticulous. It was not surprising that the Eighth Division would take a fancy to him. After all, the captain of the Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyōraku, would come to the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts from time to time to hang out, under the pretext of reminiscing about his study life here. It was not surprising that he accidentally took a fancy to Lisa Yadomaru while wandering around the academy.

Over the years, many students have joined the Eighth Division for this reason.

But why would the new Kenpachi of the 11th Division take a fancy to him?
Kazuhiko Shida couldn't figure it out.

……

Xia Mu did not leave Maou Spiritual Arts Academy directly. He wandered around this school which specialized in teaching death gods.

The Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy covers a large area and has many classrooms.

The abilities of slashing, punching and running away can all be learned in this school.

The teachers in the academy, except for some elite Shinigami currently serving in the Gotei 13 who occasionally come to guest-star and give some lectures, the vast majority are Shinigami who retired from the Gotei 13 and were re-hired to work here.

Don't look down on these rehired death gods.

The casualty rate of the Grim Reaper is very high. The Grim Reapers who can live to retirement safely and remain unharmed are all guys with considerable strength.

Since he had never studied in this school before, Natsuki was quite interested in it. He took a quick look around, but apart from "Yadomaru Lisa" who he saw on the roster, the god of death who had served as vice-captain of Kyoraku Shunsui in the original work, he didn't have any other acquaintances there. Natsuki had no intention of meeting Yadomaru Lisa in person.

But deep down, I still have some interest in her, even though she is a female god of death, and in the original book, she has some special hobbies.

But at least he became a deputy captain.

If possible, Xia Mu would not mind recruiting him into the 11th Division. After all, in the original work, this person is the vice-captain of Kyoraku Shunsui. With a personality like Kyoraku Shunsui, he is able to serve as his vice-captain. Not to mention his strength, but he is definitely good at handling team affairs.

Of course, such behavior might be a bit unfair to Kyoraku Shunsui.

But who can blame them for not joining the 8th Division yet?

Now that he had seen it, Xia Mu didn't mind getting there first.

As for the female Death God joining the 11th Division?

At present, there is nothing strange about it, because of the custom left over from the time of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, the current 11th Division still has a large number of female members. And even in the original work, the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Yachiru Kusaka, is also a woman.

After strolling around for a while, Xia Mu prepared to leave Maou Spiritual Academy.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from near him and fell into Xia Mu's ears, "Captain Xia Mu, you are also at the Maou Spiritual Academy, what a coincidence!"

When Xia Mu heard the voice, he raised his eyebrows and looked back.

Sure enough, it was a figure that Xia Mu recognized and was familiar with.

"Vice Captain Aizen, you're here too!"

Xia Mu's tone was calm, or perhaps it was the ability to control his emotions that he had forcibly practiced over the years that allowed him to remain calm.

After all, he is a time traveler, and compared to the people in this world, he knows a lot about the future.

It is precisely because he knows these things that he cannot be startled when he sees the characters in the original work. He has to remain calm enough to avoid being discovered by these people.

After all, there are too many smart people in the original book.

If you show surprise when you meet someone for the first time, he or she will inevitably see through your flaws, become interested in you, and then target you.

If Xia Mu's strength is strong enough to ignore all existence in this world, he would not mind being targeted.

But at the moment, he felt that he did not have that kind of strength yet.

So you still need to choose to hide and keep a low profile.

"I like calligraphy, so I guest-starred as a calligraphy teacher at the Maou Academy. Basically, I come here every once in a while to teach students calligraphy. Occasionally, I also help teach students in the school, such as telling them some common sense about death gods."

Aizen spoke softly to Natsuki in a gentle tone.

Mako Hirako became the captain at about the same time as Kenpachi Gosuke.

Naturally, Natsuki and Aizen became vice-captains at almost the same time.

Although they didn't make friends on purpose, as they were both deputy captains, they naturally knew each other.

But now, Natsuki has become the captain, and Aizen is still the vice-captain.

"I see."

Xia Mu nodded, but in his heart he was very critical of Aizen's words, "In addition to teaching students the common sense of Shinigami, should we also tell them some common sense of Zanpakuto and show them how to unleash their Zanpakuto?"

All I can say is that Aizen is indeed a man with a very deep mind. Under his disguise, he is a gentle, humble, polite and unpretentious guy. But in the original work, all the Shinigami in the entire Gotei 13 have seen the liberation of Kyouka Shuiyue.

Because he can always find the right opportunity and the right reason, instead of deliberately letting everyone see his Zanpakutō being released and hypnotized by it.
