Chapter 138

Because of the sage’s death yesterday.

Mutsuki Shokaku, Dajiji Kong Shixian and the current deputy captain of the 12th division who are responsible for the appropriate decomposition of Daxu have all been questioned by the Central Room 46:

Since the first two have passed away, only the deputy captain of the 12th Division was actually dismissed, and the missing position was filled by Hiyori Sarugaki who was performing tasks in the present world... It must be said that during this time period, The efficiency of the Gotei Thirteen Team is still very good.

but.

Death does not mean liberation.

Because these two people failed to fulfill their duty as guards, they were sentenced to not be buried in the Gotei 13th Corps Cemetery after their death - in the Seireitei's publicity, this is the glorious place where they died in battle with the God of Death - as well as various In addition, in order to "avoid suspicion", Teacher Mutsuki's family could not even enter the noble cemetery of Seireitei.

As a last resort, I had to leave this matter to the Caihua family.

Incidentally.

Mutsuki-sensei is treated like this because of his aristocratic status. The vice-captain of Daijiji Temple cannot even get in because he is still a civilian... Although Ayaka is willing to be accommodating, Hoshino, the sister in charge of this matter, This aspect shows considerable stubbornness.

so.

Regarding the matter of the deputy captain of Daci Temple, we can only let the 10th Division to find a solution on their own.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hoshino."

"No, this is my responsibility."

When in front of others, Hoshino has a standard image of a good girl.

"Everyone."

Haruto glanced at the people around him.

"Let's also set off back to Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy."

"graduation......"

"It should start soon."

That's what it says.

But the nature of Haruto's graduation ceremony this year was completely different: among the entire six years of their lives, they were the only five who survived, not including Byakuya.

All the other students were attacked and killed because of Achiukas' plan.

Yesterday, Kuchiki Sojun led more teams than Hirako and the others. The leading vice-captains were all concentrated at the scene of the most tragic battle, while the other team members and chief officers dispersed to save people and collect evidence. went.

at last.

Except for Haruto and the others, no one was spared from the announcement of the results... Haruto didn't know if there was something fishy about it.

"Um."

Yongyin carries Qingyin on his back.

Haruto, on the other hand, had his arms surrounded by Ayaka and lifted Nanao on his shoulder with one arm - only Ayaka and Kiyone have not fully mastered Shunpo here, but because of yesterday's battle with Achiukas, except for Yuine The three of them are all in physical condition and can barely move.

Don't say anything else.

The bandages wrapped around Ayaka's body and the Cos mummy are a bit overkill.

"Uh-huh!"

————

Mao Auditorium.

The atmosphere of this graduation ceremony was obviously very different from previous years.

It’s not that the students need to feel it carefully, but when Haruto and the others bid farewell to Mutsuki Shoukaku, the Mao Spiritual Arts Institute also held a farewell ceremony:

Pay homage to the fifty students who died during the graduation examination.

Their coffins will be escorted from the Shino Spiritual Arts Academy to the Gotei 13th Corps Cemetery by the Seventh Division in the presence of more than 800 students.

but.

This is nothing to write home about to the Grim Reaper.

They are a profession that involves life and death at all times.

Even if we don’t take into account the nearly two hundred Shinigami who have died in the recent battle with the Quincy in this world; the report sent back by the Hueco Mundo Expedition alone shows the same number of losses...the numbers here are still Just counting the deaths.

so.

The Sun Also Rises.

After the memorial ceremony, the graduation ceremony will proceed as usual...under the leadership of interim dean Nagaki.

——It was the beheading instructor that Haruto visited.

but.

The atmosphere in the Mao Auditorium this year will definitely not be as lively as before.

Whether they are juniors with several years of experience or newly admitted students, their understanding of death is not yet that profound.

If it were a fifth-year student...

Those who survived the Soul Burial internship are much calmer.

at this time.

"Uh-huh!"

Shunpo's voice was not deliberately concealed.

When Dean Nagaki announced the commencement of the graduation ceremony, Haruto and the others arrived at the Familiar Mao Auditorium stuck in time.

All eyes in the auditorium were looking outward.

Even though everyone except Yongin was injured, the temperament displayed by Haruto and the others was completely different from the students in the audience.

By the way.

The Shinigami upgrade will not resurrect with full health, and Haruto's injuries and consumption have not been completely healed; the reason why his condition looks so good is entirely due to the strong recovery power brought by the "bone forging" of the bone attack.

"..."

"It's so lively."

Looking at the scene in the auditorium, Haruto couldn't help but sigh softly.

——It has nothing to do with the juniors in the audience, mainly because of the level of representatives from the "recruitment unit" this time.

"I'm mainly here for you."

Haruto leaned down and placed Nanao on his shoulders and Ayaka holding his arms on the ground.

"Don't belittle yourself. At most, only half of it is for me."

"Aqing, you are getting thicker and thicker."

Ayaka muttered quietly.

"Do you even need to say this?"

"cough!"

Nanao coughed quietly beside her.

If it were played in the past, Nanao's voice would probably be several decibels louder. She was so reserved mainly because she was worried about the wound opening.

"Let's go there quickly, don't keep the captains waiting."

Nanao said it more politely.

But even if the "captains" she talks about are not all captain-level, it is still rare to see so many vice-captains at one time at the graduation ceremony... Last time it was Shiba Haiyan, who used When I graduated directly from Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy in one year.

Opposite the True Sun Auditorium, the Gotei 13 and the Kidō members were all present, and more than half of them were familiar faces:

Three seats in the first team, Oga Genshiro

Second Division Vice Captain, Ohmaeda Nozomi

Deputy Captain of the Third Division, Shooting Range Sentetsu

Captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu

Three seats in the fifth division, Hirako Mako

Sixth Division Four Seats: Gin Ginjiro

Vice-captain of the 7th Division, Kotsubaki Basemon

Captain of Division 8, Kyoraku Shunsui

Captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jushiro

The Great Ghost Taoist Master of the Ghost Path holds Ling Tiezhai

————

This scale is quite exaggerated.

As for the first team that never attends such occasions, most of their members are recruited from other teams, and they rarely select people directly from Zhenyang Spiritual Academy.

This time, it is rare in the history of the school to be able to send three seats to Ogamoto Shiro. Even though this person is only three seats, his real strength is also top among the vice-captains... After all, the deputy above him Captain, even among all captains, he is still the top one.

but.

The First Division is a team that sticks to tradition, and Haruto doesn’t think Oki Genshiro will break the established rules:

Most likely, he was just here to take a look on behalf of Captain Yamamoto.

"Nanao."

Haruto led everyone towards the captains' positions.

Since there were only five graduates - Byakuya did not attend - the selection of any one of them would have been quite eye-catching.

"Um."

Nanao nodded in response to Haruto.

During the healing last night, everyone had already consulted each other's opinions, and the team's choice was already known.

Just to mention it in passing.

The reason why the Ninth Division didn't have a decent chief officer was because they were not familiar with the people who graduated this year. In addition, there were too many people arrested recently, and the prison team was really overwhelmed with work.

The 10th Division was because of the sacrifice of the vice-captain; the 11th Division was busy with the mission of conquering the world; and the 12th Division was involved in the incident of the sage's attack and had no time to participate in this matter.

Nanao took the initiative and walked towards the eighth team.

Seeing this scene, Kyōraku Shunsui obviously lowered the brim of the hat he wore indoors. Unfortunately, it was too late to avoid it——

Lisa Yakinmaru took a special day off today.

"Kyoraku...Captain."

"......Yo!"

By now.

Kyōraku Shunsui had to face Nanao directly... He regretted how he dressed today, especially not wearing those two hairpins.

"I hope to join the eighth team."

Nanao said very firmly.

"...Cute and hard-working girls are naturally welcome in the Eighth Division."

Compared to his usual calmness, Kyōraku Shunsui was a little more reserved today.

But things have come to this point, and he has no excuse to avoid it anymore - although the troubles will increase a lot after this, he is no longer the young man who wanted to hide behind his elder brother.

Captain of the eighth division.

A disciple of Shigekuni Yamamoto...

Kyōraku Shunsui's back was even more solid than that of his former eldest brother.

————

Everyone’s choices are quick.

After Nanao joined the eighth team, Ayaka unexpectedly chose the eighth team.

According to her, she must not follow Haruto like a follower: it is difficult for girls who are not independent to be favored by outstanding boys.
