Chapter 4

What makes him strong isn't Kyoka Suigetsu, but Aizen!

……

The others, although there are some original-characters as well.

But compared to these four, whether in fame or strength, the gap is far too great.

Shiba Kaien, although one of the early Five Great Noble Houses, the head of the Shiba family.

It's a pity the family had long since declined.

The Five Great Noble Houses have become today's Four Great Noble Houses.

He himself, before the main storyline began, also made only a brief cameo; his true strength was only at the vice-captain level.

……

"Kuchiki Senya!"

Above.

The examiner called out his name.

003—Is this really a new student?!

"Ha~"

Senya withdrew his gaze from surveying the crowd.

He yawned and walked toward the stage.

His steps were unsteady, looking as if he had drunk quite a bit.

"I wonder what level he's reached now."

Shihoin Yoruichi watched Senya's back with a solemn expression.

"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse—two and a half years ago, he was already at captain level," Urahara said softly.

"Even if he has stood still, he is still the most outstanding new student."

"Heh."

"Sooner or later, I will surpass him."

Kuchiki Bai Zai sneered coldly.

But his gaze remained firmly fixed on Senya, awaiting the final result.

……

"Unohana my lord, why have you come in person?"

In the rest room.

The reception attendant stood respectfully at attention.

A woman as gentle as water gently set down her teacup.

"Of course it's at the Head Captain's request."

Unohana Retsu smiled faintly.

The captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, at regular intervals, all have to come to Shino Academy to guest-teach.

For a period of time.

This time.

It happened to be her turn.

Through the curtain, Unohana took in everything outside.

Among all the students.

Only five stood out like the bright moon in the night sky.

Even without fully releasing their spiritual pressure, one could feel their tremendous power.

Urahara Kisuke.

Kuchiki Bai Zai.

Shihoin Yoruichi.

Aizen Sosuke.

And Kuchiki Senya, about to begin his test!

This year's students are absurdly high in quality; in previous years, geniuses above level 10 numbered at most one or two.

This time, including Kuchiki Senya, there are fully five!

Unohana Retsu nodded slightly.

Before coming.

Head Captain Genryusai had already given instructions.

This batch of students is somewhat special, including a Princess and a Young Master from noble houses.

And while the students' quality is higher, it also means they are harder to manage.

Shino Academy.

Must also show its own strength.

Let those nobles know that Shino Academy's teaching is no worse than the so-called "noble elite" education!

……

"Buzz—"

Following the examiner's guidance, Senya placed his hand on the spiritual-pressure ball.

Immediately.

The spiritual-pressure ball flickered wildly, its value soaring crazily.

Like a thermometer plunged into molten lava, it instantly shot to its maximum value.

Then it burst apart with a "bang!"

Fragments flew in all directions.

Reflected in the stunned eyes of the examiners.

Apart from Aizen, Bai Zai, and a handful of others.

The rest of the new students dropped to one knee with a "slap~", and some were so overburdened that their bones creaked with a "crack crack~".

"This!"

"This spiritual pressure!"

Shihō Umino's legs went weak, sweat poured down his body, and his face was twisted.

Are these new students?

Are these really new students?!

The immense spiritual pressure was like a vast ocean, shattering everything, obliterating everything.

They felt like ants at the foot of a mountain, about to be crushed to dust in an instant.

This was a complete, absolute gap in power.

No technique could make up for it!

"Big Brother Senya..."

"This isn't just captain-level!"

"This has already reached the captain's limit! Only a spiritual pressure of level 30 can crush the pressure orb!"

Yoruichi, Urahara, Bai Zai—all of them wore stunned expressions.

Spiritual pressure at the captain's limit!

Even they felt as if a great mountain were pressing down on them, each step unbearably heavy!

Two and a half years ago.

Kuchiki Yoruichi had just entered captain-level, and at level 21 spiritual pressure, she had already pulled far ahead of everyone else, becoming the most dazzling genius in all of Soul Society.

But.

Now.

Why was he so listless, his spiritual pressure not retreating but advancing, reaching level 30, or even more terrifying!
