Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

Shishin sure was passionate.
It seemed that he truly admired him.

Kimura Muyang resurfaced from the pond and looked at Aranmaru Shishin with a helpless face, “You’ll be joining the 11th Division anyway, right? You’ll be able to see him all the time from now on, so what are you all excited about?”

At some point, Kimura Muyang was curious to find out what would happen if he trained using Shiun’s power underwater.
To his surprise, it worked like wonder.
Aside from the fact that his hair didn’t turn spiky like usual, the effect from the training also improved, probably because the lightning was applied both internally externally.

However, this method also had its downsides.
For example, there was no fish to be found in the pond where Kimura Muyang was in.
That was because all of them already electrocuted to death during his first training there.

After putting on his clothes and placed his Zanpakuto on his sash, Kimura Muyang finally said: “Alright, alright.
It’d be fine as long as I go, right?”.
He then made his way to the school.

“I’ve asked this before, Kimura, but I don’t understand why you would spend everyday training in the water.”

“I already told you that it’s more effective if I trained underwater.”

“Tsk.” Aranmaru Shishin clicked his tongue because Kimura Muyang’s explanation was as half-assed as always and then immediately asked: “Speaking of which, why didn’t you train in Kidō instead? Had you spent all those time underwater learning  Kidō, you might’ve become the best Kidō user among us, students, even though your Kidō right now isn’t bad.
That way, you would’ve gained the upper hand to join the Division you want.”

“It doesn’t matter.
I still got plenty of time, anyway.
I can learn Kidō anytime in the future, so I’d rather focus on training my Zanjutsu and Zanpakuto for now.” Kimura Muyang replied.
It would take a while before the plot started anyway.
He still got more than 200 years, so he wasn’t particularly worried about Kidō or even picking Division…

“Didn’t I tell you?” Kimura Muyang said as he turned to Aranmaru Shishin.

“What?”

“Captain Hikifune offered me to become the 12th Division Lieutenant.”

“What!?” Aranmaru Shishin said incredulously, “Lieutenant? Being offered to become a Lieutenant as soon as you graduated! Since when did you…?”

“Probably half a year ago.” Aranmaru Shishin just smiled wryly as he froze in the spot while Kimura Muyang kept walking.
“Hurry up.
Otherwise, you might not be able to see Captain Kuruyashiki.”

“Ah!” Hearing Kimura Muyang’s words, Aranmaru Shishin quickly caught up.
However, the surprised look was still clear on his face: “Kimura, you really are something else, even the Captains may be overshadowed today by your fame.”

“You’re definitely exaggerating right now.”

“I’m not.
Serving as a Lieutenant right after graduation was unheard of, after all.”

“Haha~~haha~~” Kimura Muyang laughed awkwardly.
This time he was the one who froze after hearing Aranmaru Shishin’s words.
He didn’t want to be the center of attention for sure, especially on a day where a lot of people would come like today.

······································

“Wow, there are so many people.
Is there no classes today?”

“Kimura, don’t tell me you forgot? On graduation day, everyone would assemble in this square, expecting the Captains’ arrival.”

“Well, this is my first year, so I don’t know about the past years.”

“You really are….” Aranmaru Shishin was at a loss for words as he looked at Kimura Muyang helplessly, “Forget it, you didn’t come to class most of the time, anyway.”

“Look, the second one on the left is Captain Kuruyashiki.
I really want to serve and fight side to side with him.” Aranmaru Shishin looked at the tall man standing proudly along with other Captains with admiring eyes.
