Chapter 26

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike leaned on his cane, wrinkles spreading all over his bald head.

His figure paused, and he looked deeply at Kuchiki Senya.

Although.

He had not yet fully tested Kuchiki Senya's true strength.

But, just based on his current age and the terrifying potential displayed by that Zanpakuto.

In the future.

He will absolutely reach my level! Perhaps even surpass it.

Only by entrusting the safety of Soul Society to him can I retire with peace of mind.

He is the best successor for the Captain-Commander, without a single exception!

"Bai Zai is more suitable to be a Captain than I am."

"My martial arts are still lacking; right now, I only wish to cultivate diligently."

Kuchiki Senya shook his head lightly and said indifferently.

The Captain position.

For others, it is an unattainable dream, the right to realize their ambitions, and a lofty social status.

But for me...

What use is it?

I am already the heir of the Kuchiki Clan, the head of the Four Great Noble Families; in terms of identity and status, I have already surpassed a Captain.

Moreover.

If I can become stronger just by lying around and rotting every day, why would I go join the Gotei 13 to get myself a job?

You must know.

The Gotei 13 often has to undertake missions, and one even has to travel to the Human World on business.

Even a Captain has to deal with mountains of documents every single day, leaving almost no time for rest.

Just look at the original story.

Toshiro Hitsugaya makes it clear.

Originally possessing the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, Hyorinmaru, he joined the Gotei 13 at a young age, became a Captain, enjoyed high status, and had many subordinates.

He looked imposing, a teenage genius.

But.

For someone with his terrifying potential, is this really a good thing?

After becoming a Captain.

In daily life, Toshiro's cultivation time actually decreased; under Matsumoto Rangiku's laziness, he often couldn't even sleep well, dealing with mountains of documents.

He was busy with work every single day.

If.

He had not taken the Captain position, but instead used all his time for cultivation, given his talent.

He would absolutely become even stronger!

In the Arrancar Arc, facing Aizen fused with the Hōgyoku, he would absolutely not be severely injured by Aizen and end up just making a cameo appearance.

In the Wandenreich Arc, he would not be rendered useless, simply turning into a "zombie," and be manipulated in turns by both Soul Society and the Wandenreich.

"You..."

Yoruichi and Urahara were about to go crazy, grabbing their hair with pained expressions.

Others may not understand Senya, but don't they know?

"Martial arts are lacking, want to cultivate hard"—it's all nonsense! At the very least, they have never seen Kuchiki Senya cultivate!

Every single day, he either goes to the pleasure district or sleeps and drinks!

"Brother, do you have no sense of responsibility as a great noble at all!"

Bai Zai's face was as black as a wok bottom, his fingers trembling slightly as he asked.

As Kuchiki Senya's younger brother, after years of living together, he knew his habits very well.

"Bai Zai is more suitable than I am!"

It sounds completely insincere!

He is simply thinking of slacking off! He absolutely does not want his days of enjoyment to be delayed by the Gotei 13!

Among the student crowd.

A man with square glasses and a gentle face watched everything in the arena quietly.

Slung diagonally at his waist was a Zanpakuto named Kyoka Suigetsu.

After hearing Kuchiki Senya's decisive refusal.

Aizen's lips curled into a hint of an amused smile.

022, Kenpachi Zaraki!

Hearing Kuchiki Senya's reason.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike did not refute, but simply nodded lightly.

"Insufficient in martial arts?"

Although.

Kuchiki Senya's Zanpakuto was the sharpest Zanpakuto he had ever seen in his life.

Relying solely on swordsmanship alone was enough to serve as a Captain.

But no one knew to what extent Kuchiki Senya's Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kidō had reached.

He said it was insufficient.

Perhaps it was not empty words.

"Good."

"Once your martial arts are sufficient, you may come to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads at any time to take up the position of Captain."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni sighed, then leaned on his cane and left directly.

His back looked incomparably aged, with one foot in the grave.

If one ignored just now—

The muscular physique when his clothes burst apart, and that X-shaped vicious scar on his head, he was completely just an ordinary, kind, and amiable old grandfather.

"Can take up the position of Captain at any time…"

In the academy, all the teachers and students were about to cry from envy. This Kuchiki Senya was only a first-year new student, yet he had already reached the peak they could never reach in their entire lives!

Comparing oneself to others is truly maddening!

Bai Zai's expression was no longer so sour either. Perhaps Kuchiki Senya would realize his error someday and make a determined effort to improve?

In any case, the Captain's seat was already in his brother's hands—he just didn't want it right now.

As blood brothers.

He still had to give his elder brother some trust.

Yoruichi and Urahara also revealed relieved smiles at the corners of their mouths. They had grown up together in the noble circle since childhood.

And each of them possessed the talent to serve as Captain.

In the future.

Being able to continue working together in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads was not bad either.

Seeing the various Captains depart.

Kuchiki Senya also yawned.

The teachers and students who had gathered to watch had looks in their eyes that practically wanted to devour him whole.
