In the blink of an eye, it was the day of school. All the new students gathered in the auditorium on the first floor of the teaching building.
Natsuhiko was wearing a blue boy's uniform. He stood in the queue of the first grade class two and stared at the teacher in the stands.
Today was the opening ceremony. All the students in the school were gathered here. In addition to the first grade students, there were also students from the second to the sixth grade.
Natsuhiko was assigned to the first grade class two. He was in the same class as Renji Asanai and Itsuru Kira. However, Lucia was assigned to the third grade and was not with them.
At this time, the principal of the Shinyang Academy, an old man named Sakanoue Maro, was explaining the origin of the Shinyang Academy to the students.
"The Shinyang Academy was founded two thousand years ago. The founder was the current captain of the Thirteen Regiments, Yamamoto Shigekuni. During the establishment, more than twenty thousand Shinigami were trained. They put in great effort to protect Soul Society …"
"I hope that all the students of the Shinigami Academy will aim to become a Shinigami and protect Soul Society as their responsibility …"
The principal spoke for more than half an hour before ending the speech. Then it was the other teachers who held important positions in the school. They spoke for more than two hours.
It wasn't until a teacher came up that Natsuhiko's eyes widened.
Standing on the podium was a man with short brown hair and black-rimmed glasses.
A middle-aged Shinigami with brown eyes.
Different from the other Shinigami, he wore a white Haori. This was the symbol of the captain of the Gotei 13.
And this Shinigami, Natsuhiko knew very well. He was the captain of the Wufan Regiments, Sōsuke Aizen, the future boss of the Broken Plane Legion.
Why is he here?
Although Sōsuke Aizen was still 60 years away from his violent betrayal, he had already developed the immature Hogyoku. He was beginning to use the modified Hollow to attack the Shinigami in the modern world one by one.
With that thought in mind, Natsuhiko was slightly alarmed. He looked at Sōsuke Aizen cautiously.
Sōsuke Aizen stood on the stage and said with a smile, "The teachers in front have talked a lot, so I won't take up too much of your time.
I only have one thing to say. If there are any freshmen who wish to learn calligraphy, they can come to my calligraphy class. "
After saying that, Sōsuke Aizen turned around and walked down from the spectator stand.
Calligraphy?
Natsuhiko remembered that Sōsuke Aizen had opened a calligraphy classroom at the Shinyang Academy. He was also the president of the Bellingham Calligraphy Association.
Natsuhiko didn't want to be controlled by Sōsuke Aizen's Catoptric Deflection. It seemed like he had to avoid Aizen as much as possible.
Beside Natsuhiko, Renji Asanai said with a smile, "This teacher is too good. He doesn't talk as much as the other teachers."
Another student added, "Aizen is the captain of the Wufan Regiments."
Momo Hinomori couldn't help but sigh, "Not only is Aizen handsome, but he's also cultured and knows calligraphy. He's also the captain of the Wufan Regiments. He's really an outstanding man."
Hearing this, Natsuhiko frowned slightly. Momo Hinomori was Aizen's die-hard fan in the original novel. She was a member of Aizen's calligraphy classroom at the Shinyang Academy. Later, because she admired Aizen, she joined the Wufan Regiments and eventually became the vice-captain of the Wufan Regiments. Even after she announced that Aizen had betrayed her, she still chose to believe in him. After she was stabbed by Aizen and recovered, she still blindly believed in Aizen. She even fought with her childhood sweetheart many times.
Thinking about Momo Hinomori's blind actions in the future, Natsuhiko felt helpless.
After Aizen's speech, the opening ceremony ended. The students filed out of the auditorium.
Since classes wouldn't officially start until tomorrow, the students living in Bellingham left the school and went straight home. The students living in the dorms stayed on campus.
Natsuhiko, Renji Asanai, and Itsuru Kira didn't immediately return to the dorms. Instead, they waited outside for Lucia. However, when they saw Lucia talking and laughing with the other girls in Class 3, Renji Asanai smiled and said, "Looks like Lucia has made friends. Let's go."
Natsuhiko nodded. He knew that Renji Asanai didn't want to keep Lucia in their small circle.
Natsuhiko and the other two left and returned to the dorms.
The next day, classes officially began.
In the Shinyang Academy, the freshmen mainly learned about history, the knowledge of the Voids, Soul Burial, and how to kill the Voids.
Other than that, there were only two training courses, Kendo and Baijiu.
Kendo and Baijiu didn't require much Spiritual Pressure. Moreover, they could train Spiritual Pressure and increase combat ability. Therefore, they were more suitable for freshmen.
In the senior year, they could learn Shunpo and Elementary Ghost Road. The prerequisite for learning was Spiritual Pressure Level Four. If they couldn't reach Spiritual Pressure Level Four before the sixth year, they could only drop out.
Other than that, there was also special training for the Covert Mobile Force and the Fourth Regiments Medical Team. The former had high requirements for Shunpo and Baijiu, while the latter had high requirements for the use of Ghost Road.
In addition, the Twelfth Division's Technical Development Bureau and the Ghost Road would also select suitable members from the Shinyang Academy.
Natsuhiko hadn't thought about his future yet. The most important thing now was to increase his strength as much as possible to deal with Aizen's scheme sixty years later.
Natsuhiko, Renji Asanai, and Itsuru Kira came to the classroom. After Natsuhiko sat down, he took out his textbook. Soon, it was time for class, and the teacher arrived.
The teacher's appearance was about fifty years old. He wore a black Death Overlord costume. He came to the podium, wrote his name, and began the class.
The first class was history. This class mainly talked about the birth of the Death God, the composition of the world, and the evolution of the Death God in the long history.
Through the teacher's explanation and the content recorded in the book, Natsuhiko learned that the Soul Society had already appeared a hundred years ago. That time was also the time when humans were born. The death of humans was accompanied by the birth of souls, and the souls would transform into the Death God and the Voids.
Since a million years ago, the Death God and the Voids were on opposite sides. They fought with each other, and each had their own victory and defeat.
During this process, the Death God became stronger and stronger through inheritance, while the Voids also became stronger and stronger through evolution.
After that, the Soul Society went through several evolutions, and almost two thousand years ago, a unified system was formed.
Yamamoto established the Thirteen Regiments and the Shinyang Academy. He cultivated a large number of talents and curbed the development of the Voids.
In addition to history, there was also the knowledge of the Voids.
The Voids were the souls of people after death. Because they were reluctant to leave the world or had a deep bond with humans, they were full of resentment and suffered the torture of time before finally degenerating into the Voids.
There would be a hole in the chest of the Voids, which represented the emptiness in the heart. The Voids would be covered by a thick mask.
The Voids were also divided into many types. In addition to the ordinary Voids, there were also the Greater Voids. The Greater Voids were divided into the Gilian, Achucas, and Vasto Lorde.
The Gilian Voids could only be dealt with by the Death God with the Shikai. The Achucas already had the strength of a vice-captain or even a captain. As for the Vasto Lorde, their strength was even above the captain level.
In addition to the introduction of the Voids, there was also how to kill and purify them.
Although many Voids represented evil and cruelty, blindly eliminating the Voids would only destroy the balance between the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.
This was also the reason why the Qishi Clan was eliminated, and also the reason why the Death God eliminated the Qishi Clan.
In addition, there was also the knowledge of the soul, such as the composition of the soul, the burial of the soul, the transformation of Spirit Droplets, and so on.
Natsuhiko studied this knowledge very seriously. He would take notes of the content taught by the teacher and review it seriously. He would also think of a lot of extensible questions to ask the teacher.
In Renji Asanai's eyes, he felt that he was doing too much. To become a Death God, combat power was the most important, so there was no need to care so much about the content of these cultural lessons.
So Renji Asanai spent most of his time on training and rarely memorized the knowledge in books.
Natsuhiko knew that this knowledge was very important. Perhaps he could find a way to fight against Aizen from this knowledge.
