After hearing Shin’s plan, Unohana fell silent for a moment before looking at him.

“If you want to get into the Shin’ō Academy, I can recommend you.”

The Shin’ō Academy, the training institution for Soul Reapers, had been established by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto over a thousand years ago.

It was responsible for training the members of the Kidō Corps, the Stealth Force, and the Gotei 13.

As long as one successfully graduated from the academy, they could become a member of the Gotei 13. As for those who couldn’t graduate, they would become rank-and-file soldiers, responsible for managing the Rukongai.

This was a form of job placement. Even if they didn’t become Soul Reapers, they could still find work.

Souls from the Rukongai could also enter the Shin’ō Academy by passing the exams. For them, it was a chance to change their fate.

However, the exams were extremely strict, and getting into the academy was not easy.

“Thank you.”

Shin thanked Unohana. Otherwise, it would have taken him a lot more effort.

“Captain, the Captain-Commander has called a meeting for all captains.”

Just then, a Soul Reaper knocked on the door.

“Mm, I understand.” A flicker of doubt crossed Unohana’s eyes. Why a meeting now? It might be related to the 11th Division.

The position of lieutenant in the 11th Division was vacant, and it couldn’t stay that way forever. It was probably about that.

Afterward, Unohana left for the meeting. Shin didn’t wander around, staying in the 11th Division’s barracks.

Unfamiliar with the Seireitei, Shin had no desire to explore. He might as well use the time to increase his spiritual pressure. The spiritual pressure here was certainly no match for the Rukongai.

The Rukongai was a harsh place, especially the remote 80th district.

Not long after, Unohana returned.

Shin glanced at her curiously, wondering what Yamamoto had said in the meeting, but he didn’t ask.

“This is for you. You can start at the academy tomorrow.”

Unohana handed Shin an admission document. For her, arranging such a thing was simple.

As for Shin’s identity—a soul from the Rukongai—it was basically untraceable. If the Soul Reapers had strict control over the Rukongai, it wouldn’t be so chaotic.

Shin took the admission document. He really owed Unohana quite a bit now.

He would have to repay her kindness in the future. Shin wouldn’t forget the debts he owed.

The next day, using the map Unohana had given him, Shin arrived at the Shin’ō Academy and successfully enrolled.

“Tsk, not a single familiar face.”

After enrolling, Shin had hoped to see some of the future captains, but there was not a single one.

The future captains he knew of hadn’t appeared yet, which meant they hadn’t even been born. He had indeed transmigrated a bit too early.

“This stupid system,” Shin grumbled.

He was placed in an elite class. The Shin’ō Academy was also divided into regular and elite classes. The regular classes were for those with the potential to become Soul Reapers but with average talent, while the elite classes were for those with connections or exceptional talent.

Shin was a transfer student, and as such, he attracted a lot of attention. Of course, no one came looking for trouble.

After all, there weren’t that many idiots in the world, especially in the elite class. Even those who got in through connections weren’t that foolish.

Those with connections were mostly nobles who had received an elite education. Why would they randomly start trouble?

————————

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed since Shin enrolled. He had long since mastered all the knowledge taught at the academy.

He had learned some Hadō and Bakudō, but none of them were high-level spells.

They were all spells below number 30. To learn more advanced ones, one had to join a division and earn them through merit.

Kidō wasn’t something you could learn just anywhere. The teachers at the school didn’t know them, so of course, Shin couldn’t learn them either.

In fact, Shin had learned all the knowledge in just half a year. The remaining two and a half years were spent just coasting.

He didn’t want to graduate so early. Geniuses always attract attention, and Shin didn’t want too much of it.

Sometimes, being low-key wasn’t a bad thing, especially for Shin. In the future, he was destined to do things that broke the rules. He didn’t want to be in the spotlight.

At this moment, Shin held an Asauchi in his hand. This was the Zanpakutō assigned to him.

An Asauchi was a Zanpakutō before its Shikai, the strongest Zanpakutō with infinite potential.

When a Soul Reaper achieved Shikai, it would change according to their will. The final strength of this Zanpakutō depended on you.

All Asauchi were forged by the Sword God, Ōetsu Nimaiya.

Ōetsu Nimaiya was one of the captains of the Zero Division.

In fact, the Zero Division had no members, only captains.

Regarding the Shikai of a Zanpakutō, Shin had absolutely no clue. In fact, Shin might not be able to achieve Shikai like other Soul Reapers.

The reason was simple: Shin wasn’t just a Soul Reaper—he was also a human. Perhaps holding an Asauchi wouldn’t allow him to achieve Shikai.

But Shin wasn’t too concerned. He wouldn’t force it. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t achieve Shikai himself.

He could just copy other people’s Zanpakutō then.

He had always wanted to copy Yamamoto’s Zanpakutō, but Shin had never even met him, so he had no chance to copy it.

————————

Leaving the Shin’ō Academy, Shin headed for the 11th Division.

“It’s about time I graduated. There’s no point in staying at the academy anymore.”

The Shin’ō Academy usually took six years to graduate, but some geniuses didn’t need that long to be qualified.

He had been coasting for three years now. Even if he graduated now, though he would be called a genius, he wouldn’t attract too much attention.

“Shin, it’s time for us to leave.”

Just as he returned, he heard Unohana’s words.

“Leave?”

“That’s right. I’m no longer the captain of the 11th Division.”

As she spoke, Unohana turned, showing Shin the large number ‘4‘ (Four) on the back of her haori. She was now the captain of the 4th Division. She had no intention of leading Squad 11 any longer.

“So you really went into medicine.” Shin wasn’t surprised. Besides his past words, Unohana had shown signs of this in the past few years.

And the current Unohana had really changed a lot. Before, just being near her, you could feel a thick killing intent.

It made others not dare to get close. But now, Unohana had a gentle smile on her face, a completely different person from before.

Even the old-timers in the Seireitei were shocked by her transformation, their jaws practically hitting the floor.

The terrifying killer had changed so much it was hard to believe. But for them, it was a good thing.
