Chapter 3
Haruto is that unique note.
"White Thunder!"
————
"really."
Mutsuki Shoukaku's eyes were always focused on Haruto.
When the clear "Broken Path No. 4" blurted out, she was sure that the exchange just now was not a joke.
"As before, I still use the 'Abandoned' White Thunder."
"Singing Destruction"
After the caster's proficiency in a ghost technique breaks through a certain limit, he can abandon the chanting process and directly release the ghost technique.
The advantage is that it is fast enough:
Abandoning the chanting process can make the use of Kidou more difficult to defend against.
The disadvantage is that it is not powerful enough:
Depending on the proficiency of the caster in mastering the ghost path, the effect of the ghost path cast using the "Chanting Abandonment" method is only 1/10 to 1/3 of the full version.
The fourth path-breaking "White Thunder", considering the very low lethality of this move, most of the usage scenarios recommended in the textbook are to use the electric shock released from the index finger to paralyze the opponent in a very short period of time.
Precisely.
This trick can only be used in the process of capturing ordinary souls.
Even the complete chant of Bai Lei only slightly extends the time of paralysis; and the arc attack released from the fingertips, even if you want to hit it a little further, the difficulty of operation will rise sharply.
It seems like this.
Bai Lei has become a ghost that is completely ineffective without the help of chanting and breaking.
"Even the 'Abandoned' Bai Lei, which can maintain 1/3 of its lethality and reach the highest level of proficiency, is far from being able to touch the China Red Cannon..."
Haruto acted very relaxed, but as a high-ranking official, Mutsuki Shoukaku was quite aware of the difficulty.
"......Bar?"
Until the pure white thunder split the light in the void and penetrated straight through the center of the target directly opposite——
"Buzz!"
The roaring sound was half a beat slower than the flash.
"Snapped!!"
————
In the crisp shattering sound, the target exploded into countless flying fragments.
"..."
The martial arts arena was silent for a moment.
What followed was a chaotic explosion and a cacophony of abuse.
Not everyone can withstand the influence from the outside world when releasing ghosts...especially when faced with such an impactful reality.
In the eyes of Mutsuki, as the examiner, this little interference can cause an imbalance in spiritual pressure. Regardless of whether he can use the Red Fire Cannon normally in the future, he cannot escape a "C-level" evaluation.
but.
At this time, Mutsuki's attention was not on these foils.
"Completely shattered."
"Even if it's a member of the fifth division... no, even if the lower-ranking officer uses an intermediate level breaking path of more than thirty, I'm afraid it's only to this extent, right?"
The number of seat officers in different divisions varies, but generally speaking, the lower seat officers mostly refer to the positions ten seats behind.
Don't underestimate the title of "lower chief officer". In a squad with hundreds of people, it is not easy to break away from the status of a soldier and become a chief officer.
The destructive power of Haruto's white thunder was enough to astonish a high-ranking official like Mutsuki... The scene where Haruto used white thunder to smash a target last year still left a deep impression on Mutsuki Shoukaku. This time the destructive power continues to increase.
Of course, Bai Lei’s speed and accuracy need not be mentioned. The main shortcoming that is criticized is its power; and when Bai Lei’s most lacking power is enough to instantly crush the bull’s eye——
"First class, Haruto."
In both public and private matters, Mutsuki would give this evaluation.
————
"It still has an impact on the body."
Haruto shook his arm vigorously to dispel the numbness and tingling sensation from his fingertips.
To complete the extraction, condensation and release of spiritual pressure from "soul sleep" to the fingertips in just two seconds is a huge test for physical fitness.
It just so happens that Haruto's biggest weakness is physical fitness.
Being skinny is a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that his body has been well-trained at Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy over the years, his previous body would have been weak and fragile. This is the biggest limitation that affects his performance as a ghost. condition.
"Fortunately, it turned out well."
Haruto's fingers gradually returned to normal.
"The power of the white thunder just now is comparable to most intermediate breakthroughs, which proves that my initial idea is correct. The cost-effectiveness of practicing intermediate breakthroughs is too low."
Haruto didn't lie to Mutsuki-sensei: he was indeed not good at intermediate level breaking.
"Class B."
"Wait C."
As Haruto walked out of the martial arts arena, the results of other students were reported one after another behind him. However, after Haruto's "trouble", the assessment results of this group of students who entered were obviously not as good as the previous batches.
And just when Haruto was about to step out of the door——
"I have objections!"
The extremely loud roar instantly overwhelmed Mutsuki's announcement. Everyone inside and outside the martial arts arena turned their attention to the source of the sound.
"Sokon..."
Mutsuki raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
If it were any other student who dared to disgrace her at this time, Mutsuki would definitely let them see the majesty of being a chief official.
The problem is that.
Mutsuki knows students who dare to make noise here:
At first glance, the image seems to be quite destined for a strong person, but it is a pity that a thin layer was left in the end, resulting in a tight hairstyle that failed to break through the restraints of the limiter. Combined with the modern version of the Tsukiyo haircut tied behind the head, it can be said that it is full of energy. visual impact:
The third day of the month is close.
Outside the martial arts arena, this young man, who is not as tall as Haruto, but has very strong and muscular muscles, is Mutsuki Shoukaku's "neighbors": the Mutsuki family and the Mikazuki family, both of whom are middle-class people who are eligible to live outside the Seireitei. noble.
Although Mutsuki Shokaku was Munechika's teacher, his noble status was not as good as his.
If she had not served as the chief officer of the fifth division, she, who was born into a noble family, would have had no other option in the future except marrying a fellow noble.
Even after joining the Gotei 13, the shackles that bound her have not completely disappeared. If the family cannot see her potential to continue to improve, sooner or later she will end up with the same fate - the aristocratic power of the Seireitei. When it comes to all aspects of Corpse Soul, only her current level cannot guarantee that she will have a worry-free future.
but......
"Are you questioning me?"
Since Mutsuki Shoukaku dares to step out of the closed aristocratic family, it means that she does not want to be suppressed by these rules and regulations.
This is the Mao Spiritual Academy established by Yamamoto Shigekuni, the captain of the Gotei 13, and she is the chief officer of the fifth division of the Gotei 13.
As an academy established by Captain Yamamoto who was able to snatch away the most important military power from the aristocratic rule, this is the place where no one in the entire Soul Society needs to worry about the influence of the aristocracy.
Moreover, the captain directly under Mutsuki Shoukaku...the calf protector of the fifth division is well-known in the Seireitei.
That's why Mutsuki Shokaku dared to say these words.
"..."
The spiritual pressure from the seventh seat was unreservedly pressed on Munechika, and a little murderous intention mixed in it made the latter's hair stand on end while it was difficult to speak.
"...I'm sorry, Mutsuki-sensei."
As a family heir, the aristocratic qualities he had cultivated since childhood made Mikazuki Munechika quickly and decisively bow his head and apologize:
"My attitude just now was too impatient, and I ask Mutsuki-sensei not to worry about it for the sake of my family. Moreover, I am not questioning your judgment, but this guy Haruto... definitely used it just now. What a dirty little trick!”
Munechika changed the topic and looked at Haruto with a sharp look.
"Do you suspect Haruto of cheating?"
Mutsuki pressed her temples with a headache.
She knew Munechika's situation well. As a classmate who, like Haruto, had been in the same class for five years, the "emotional" difference between the two was not the slightest bit different.
Regardless of popularity (specifically referring to the opposite sex) or achievements, Haruto always beats Munechika by a small margin; and Munechika's noble status, which he is most proud of, has become somewhat insignificant because Haruto has attached himself to the young master of the Kuchiki family.
Not to mention that there are many students in Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy who are not interested in nobles.
"right!"
Munechika's voice was quite loud, and even the students and teachers from several other martial arts arenas were casting their eyes here intentionally or unintentionally.
"..."
Mutsuki glanced at the target that had been broken into pieces:
"Where's the evidence?"
"The destructive power of the 'Broken' White Thunder can never be compared to the higher-level Red Fire Cannon. As for the evidence... I think it is more important between stealing the secrets of the nobles privately and cheating on the exam. Haruto should still be able to pick it up."
Munechika said firmly.
————
"..."
Haruto glanced at the proud Munechika speechlessly.
There is nothing inherently wrong with what he said.
The difficulty of releasing the ghost path and the amount of spiritual pressure consumed do increase with the increase in the number of "numbers", especially with every 30th number as a dividing line, the gap between ghost paths before and after this threshold is very large.
but!
The above theory is only applicable to the student stage. To put it more accurately, it is only applicable to the inside of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy - this is the same principle as learning physics, always starting with the "wrong" classical physics.
According to the content compiled in the textbook, it is naturally impossible for Bai Lei to be compared with the higher-numbered Red Fire Cannon. To break this conclusion, the simplest and most reliable way is to use the secret ghost ways of various noble families:
Either it is a modification of the existing ghost path, or it is simply a creation of one's own ghost path.
former......
This is the key to Munechika questioning Haruto.
have to say.
Sokon's guess is actually correct. If Haruto is allowed to study Bai Lei by himself, he will definitely not be able to
The results achieved so quickly.
Haruto has indeed learned from the ghost way experience of two noble families:
The thick book that Ise Nanao always carries in his arms is the only secret book of the priest family on ghost ways. It can even be traced back to the first captain of the eighth division: Shikatori Hatsuunsai thousands of years ago.
Haruto received a lot of generous assistance from Nanao.
When he first approached Nanao, he actually had a strong sense of utilitarianism, but in the process of getting along, Haruto, who gradually got to know Nanao, took the initiative to inform the other party of his plans.
the latter......
I agreed to Haruto's borrowing request very simply.
It can be said that Haruto's Kidou can achieve such results, Xiao Nanao is indispensable; as for the key to him making Bai Lei go further, there is no doubt that it is from the Kuchiki family who has systematically studied Bai Lei.
The gap between the four major nobles and the mid-level nobles is completely different:
In Munechika's view, secret information that was extremely precious was nothing more than a small gift that could be used to make friends for a powerful force like the Kuchiki family.
At least for the young master of the Kuchiki family who is rich but has no self-awareness, the secret teachings of the ghost way are not worth mentioning at all.
"Mikazuki-san."
