Chapter 54 Testing Unohana

After explaining why he appeared in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, Aizen asked Xia Mu: "Why is Captain Xia Mu here?"

Xia Mu did not hide it, "It's almost Mao's graduation season again. I came here to see if there are any suitable talents and see if I can recruit them into the 11th Division."

"Is that so? Then does Captain Natsuki have any students that he values?" Aizen asked Natsuki again.

Xia Mu smiled and did not answer the question directly.

Aizen knew that he seemed a little abrupt. He was a smart man, so he just smiled gently and didn't ask any more questions.

Then he asked Xia Mu, "I plan to teach the students next. Captain Xia Mu, are you interested in going with me?"

"Forget it. I've been in the Maou Spiritual Academy for a long time today. There are still many things in the squad that need me to deal with. I should leave now. If I have time in the future, I can chat with Vice Captain Aizen."

"Ah."

Of course Aizen wouldn't say anything.

Xia Mu left.

Aizen glanced in the direction where Natsuki left, then retracted his gaze, still with a gentle smile on his lips, and walked towards where the students were. Next, he was going to teach the students some common knowledge about Zanpakuto.

Let them understand what the difference is between a Zanpakuto and a shallow fight after it is released.

……

Facing Aizen, Natsuki did not feel too much fear.

As long as you control your emotions and don't reveal any flaws in front of Aizen, normally Aizen won't deliberately target you.

After all, Aizen is also very busy.

Especially at this stage, Aizen should still be busy creating the Hogyoku and breaking the boundaries of the God of Death, so he doesn't have enough time to pay attention to other things and care about other people.

Just like Aizen cares about his own evolution.

Xia Mu also cares a lot about his own strength.

I came to the Maou Spiritual Academy just to follow Yoruichi's advice and chose to take a look here.

Before finding a suitable vice-captain, he could only continue to work hard and handle team affairs himself.

After finishing the team affairs, Xia Mu took the time to practice.

Not all training is done with Ye Yi.

The training with Yoruichi can only hone his Hakuto and Shunpo skills, as for the training in Zanpakutō, since Yoruichi is not a person who likes to use Zanpakutō, and Zanpakutō is more like a decoration to her, the person who helps Natsuki practice Zanpakutō is Unohana Retsu.

In the fourth squad.

Even though Natsuki has now become Kenpachi, there has been no change in the way he and Unohana Retsu get along after he came here.

Neither of them released their Zanpakutō, leaving the swords in a shallow striking state.

At the same time, they all took off their captain's haori temporarily and only wore black Shiba costumes.

Two figures kept interweaving and flashing in the training ground, with sword lights flying, occasionally mixed with solid and sharp sword pressure. Under the deliberate control of the two, even the sword pressure that was slashed out did not spread to farther places.

Soon, scars appeared on the two men's bodies, and blood dyed the black Death Tyrant suits red.

However, even so, the two men did not stop, and they looked like they were fighting to the death.

This fight lasted for a long time, until both of them were seriously injured.

Unohana Retsu had just released her Zanpakutō and was treating the injuries for herself and Natsuki. Of course, deep down, she did feel a little regretful. Every battle came to an abrupt end, making it difficult for people to enjoy real pleasure.

It was like being interrupted when you were halfway through enjoying something.

But over the years, Unohana Retsu cultivated his character and even practiced the skill of "flower arranging", and he had long learned to control his emotions.

Although she had always longed for the ultimate pleasure brought by the battle, she also understood that Natsuki was not the enemy, and this was no longer the Soul Society of the past. The Gotei 13 had been established, and everything had changed from disorder to order.

Although some things have been given up, this world is undoubtedly much better than the chaotic world of the past.

"You're making great progress!"

After Unohana Retsu treated her own and Natsuki's injuries, she returned to her intellectual and gentle older sister appearance. It was hard to tell that it was her who had been fighting with Natsuki before.

"Over the years, you have basically learned all of my beheading techniques. I'm afraid it won't be long before you surpass me."

Unohana Retsu looked at Natsuki and praised him sincerely.

She looked at Xia Mu as if she was admiring a masterpiece.

She noticed Xia Mu when he was still the third seat.

Later, Gosuke became Kenpachi. She looked down on Gosuke in her heart, so she wanted to train a Kenpachi herself. Natsuki was the candidate she chose. Natsuki did not disappoint her expectations and his strength improved rapidly.

In addition to the continuous growth of spiritual power, his own learning ability is also good. The strong learning ability enables Xia Mu to quickly tap his potential.

Afterwards, he even exceeded her expectations and killed Kenpachi Kiyomizu and became the new Kenpachi.

"The lifespan of the god of death is very long. The time you mentioned won't be long. You mean years as the unit of counting." Xia Mu was not too proud and answered Unohana Retsu calmly.

Unohana Retsu smiled gently.

Xia Mu added: "However, if you don't experience it in person, it's really hard to imagine!"

"What's hard to imagine?" Unohana Retsu asked Xia Mu softly.

Xia Mu said: "It's hard to imagine that the seemingly gentle Captain Unohana Retsu, in addition to his superb medical skills, also has such superb skills in beheading. Captain Unohana's ability to kill is not much inferior to his means of saving people. You can obviously be the captain of some combat teams, such as striving for the title of Kenpachi Ichiban, why are you willing to be the captain of a medical team?"

This question actually has a hidden meaning. Xia Mu is deliberately pretending not to know Unohana Retsu's background.

After hearing what Xia Mu said, Unohana Retsu was in a trance for a moment.

She didn't tell Xia Mu that she had carried the name Kenpachi for many years.

However, she also reacted.

Xia Mu seemed to know something.

The reason is that over the years, every time after Xia Mu had a discussion with her, he would deliberately raise some questions in front of her. These seemed to be doubts in his heart, but in fact, connecting them together, it can be determined that Xia Mu was testing her.

As for why she was willing to serve as the captain of the medical team, she had no intention of answering it. When Xia Mu showed his strong talent in Kaido and invited Xia Mu to join the Fourth Division, she had actually answered this question.

In this world, there are many people who kill, but few who save.

Sometimes some redemption is needed.

Complex thoughts flashed through his mind, and Unohana Retsu asked Xia Mu seriously: "Xia Mu, you seem to know a lot about me?"
