Seeing the name of this Zanpakutō, Xuanhao smiled softly.
Although most people are awarded the nameless Zanpakutō, also known as "Shallow Fight", after they officially become a Shinigami. However, being a noble does have inherent advantages.
For example, a large noble family will pass down several powerful Zanpakutō to outstanding young people in the family, and 'Senbonzakura' is one of them.
However, not all heirs are qualified to control the Zanpakutō inherited from the family. After all, the Zanpakutō is also a manifestation of the soul, and it has thoughts.
Since this girl named Mari Kuchiki was able to inherit this Zanpakutō, it was obvious that she was indeed gifted.
"Then there is a genius who was also born in the 'Shifengyuan' clan, one of the four great nobles. Shifengyuan Lan is also a genius."
Seeing Xuanhao's interest aroused, Shiba Jinbei on the side continued to introduce.
Xuan Hao nodded slightly and then flipped through the information in his hand.
Arashi Shibunin, the young master of the Shifengin clan, is also the heir to the position of head of the family of this generation. When he graduated, his ranking was second only to Mari Kuchiki.
The Shifengin clan is known as the "God-given weapon and equipment", and they have many legendary equipment behind them, including the Zanpakutō.
"Tsk."
Xuan Hao curled his lips, "He is indeed a noble, but he is different."
"Well, heroes think alike."
Shiba Jinbei nodded in agreement. He was also unhappy with these guys who were born with extraordinary talents and had unique resources.
Well, he admitted that he was jealous. After all, although he was also one of the four nobles, the lonely 'Shiba' family was indeed inferior to several other prosperous families.
"Tsunayashiro Ryota is also the heir of one of the four noble families, the 'Tsunayashiro' clan. However, the influence of the Tsunayashiro clan in Soul Society is not great, so it does not attract much attention."
Shiba Jinbei continued to introduce.
"Well, this looks much more pleasing to the eye."
Xuan Haohua nodded slowly.
"Then there's Ryota Miki, Taku Yamazaki..."
"That's probably what's worth noting. I don't think the other little guys will be able to pass this test."
Shiha Jinbei said bluntly.
This test is probably the most cruel one since the founding of Yuanzi School. The number of people who can truly pass the test and become a Shinigami should be the fewest. After all, they have to face the real Hollow and have a life-and-death struggle with them.
"Where are you Shiba family members? Why not?"
Xuanhao looked through the information in his hand countless times, but he didn't see anyone from the Zhibo clan.
"I'm depressed, I'm depressed..."
Shiba Jinbei shook his head helplessly, expressing his shame.
Well, it was actually because he abused his power and did not allow the descendants of the Shiba family to participate in this actual combat test. After all, it is better to leave such a good training opportunity to everyone.
He thought that the man in front of him had no intention of seriously protecting these little cubs. What if something unexpected happened?
As he spoke, everyone had already passed through the world-traversing gate and arrived in the real world.
The place where the World-Transmitting Gate unfolds in the present world is in a ruined town that looks like it has just experienced an earthquake.
In fact, both the God of Death and the Hollows appear in the state of spiritual beings, and ordinary humans cannot see them at all. Therefore, the destruction caused by the Hollows who appear in the world will always be explained by humans as some kind of natural phenomenon.
"Okay, we've arrived."
Xuan Hao, who was leading the team in front, stopped, turned around and said expressionlessly to the students behind him.
"I won't talk nonsense about anything else. Your next task is to defeat all the 'empties' in this town."
"Really...really want to crusade?"
Even though he had been informed in advance, some people still couldn't believe it when the man in front of them said such words without any trouble.
After all, they are just Shinigami reserve soldiers who have just graduated from Yuanzi School. Even if they get a light attack, they are not yet real Shinigami. Of course, they will not have experience in fighting Hollows. This is extremely dangerous for them.
Task.
Even the geniuses who were born in the four great nobles frowned a little.
"Don't worry, the captain of Division 4 is here. As long as you still have breath, you probably won't die."
Perhaps seeing the students' worries, Xuanhao spread his hands and said nonchalantly.
"There's still one breath left...maybe...?"
He looked at the guy in front of him who had no spiritual pressure and spoke in a perfunctory tone, and then looked at the captain of the Fourth Division who was also famous for being unreliable in the Seireitei. These fledgling guys felt even more panicked after hearing this.
.
Why do you feel like you've been cheated? Sure enough, there's something wrong with this test!?
They all felt that the old guys above were out of their minds to come up with such a bad idea.
But reality is always cruel.
The world-traveling gate behind them had been closed the moment they entered the real world, and the two Death Gods leading the team in front of them did not give them any time to argue.
"Then the actual combat test has officially begun, let's hunt, little guys."
Following the order, the figures of Xuanhao and Shiba Jinbei disappeared from the place at the same time, leaving only a group of confused boys and girls looking at each other.
"Oh...it's really troublesome."
A helpless sigh sounded.
It seemed that not everyone in this group of boys and girls would be at a loss when faced with such a situation, at least not the girl named Mari Kuchiki.
Gently tying up her long black hair, and then pulling out the Zanpakutō from her waist, the girl licked the corners of her mouth and showed a slightly excited smile.
As the heir to the 'Kuchiki' clan, the head of the four great nobles, she is different from others.
This has been destined since birth, at least she thinks so.
After making all preparations, she ignored the others and rushed to the front.
This city had been completely destroyed by the 'earthquake', and as Mari Kuchiki unfolded his own perception, the spiritual pressure lurking throughout the town was nowhere to be seen.
"one two three……"
She murmured and counted the amount of spiritual pressure belonging to Hollow, while moving quickly towards the place where the spiritual pressure appeared in front of her.
"They're just trash fish."
"bass--"
The sword flashed, and the girl's figure passed by a virtual creature that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Click——"
As the bone mask on the virtual face shattered, the body fell to the ground.
"!?"
Listening to the noise coming from not far away, the other boys and girls who were still stunned finally reacted.
"Damn it, let's keep up too, don't let her get the better of us!"
Sifengyuan Lan gritted his teeth and quickly caught up.
As the heir to the Shifengin family, one of the four great nobles, he is no stranger to the girl in front of him. She is a genius known as a once-in-a-century genius of the Kuchiki clan. Her strength may have already surpassed that of an ordinary Shinigami.
These virtual forces put no pressure on the opponent at all. If they don't catch up quickly, their limelight will be lost!
Although according to the rules, as long as he persists until the end without letting the supervisor come to rescue him, he will pass the test, but as a noble, he was overtaken by a woman, where should he put his face?
"Hey hey hey! Wait for me!"
Tsunayashiro Tian also drew his Zanpakutō from his waist and followed.
Although they are also one of the four great nobles, their family is not good at fighting, so it lags far behind the other families in terms of influence, even the down-and-out Shiba family. After all, the Soul Society is based on
Where strength is respected, whoever has the strongest fist has the right to speak.
As a few people rushed out, the other students quickly reacted, raised their knives and began to search for and kill nearby Xu Lai.
······
"Tell me everything you see in front of you! Kong Shi."
The beginning of solution·empty vision.
This is the first explanation of Tsunayashiro Ta's Zanpakutō.
He followed closely behind Shifouin Arashi. As the Zanpakuto was released, the blade did not change its shape, but his eyes began to glow, taking in everything around him.
He is not good at fighting, and his Zanpakuto's ability is very simple, which is 'insight'.
"Lan, there is one on the left front."
"receive."
Shifouinlan, who was running in front, changed his trajectory instantly and rushed towards the direction pointed by Tsunayashiro Ryota.
In terms of strength, the two of them together may not be able to defeat the Kuchiki family, but when fighting collectively, individual ability is not the key factor that determines everything, just like now.
The two quickly surrounded their target, but did not take action immediately.
"What to do next?"
Sifengyuan Lan dodged the attack of the hollow in front of him and asked with a frown.
"immediately."
Tsunayashiro Ryota took advantage of the virtual being restrained to carefully observe its every move.
Soon, every structure of the virtual body in front of him was clearly visible in his eyes as if it were transparent.
"On the back of the neck! This one has more weakness on the back of the neck!"
"Thank you very much, the next one is yours!"
With a chuckle, Sifengyuan Lan disappeared in an instant.
The Xu in front of him lost his balance because of the attack, and his weak neck was completely exposed to his sight.
Perhaps it was aware of something, and this creature subconsciously protected its vitals, but it didn't seem to be of any use.
An afterimage passed by, and then blood splattered everywhere.
The figure of Shifengyuan Lan passed behind the hollow like a gust of wind, tearing apart the defense and directly cutting off the hollow's head.
"oh?"
At the top of the highest ruins, Shiba Jinbei looked down at every part of the battlefield with interest.
Of course, he noticed the cooperation of these young people.
“I’m very cooperative and it’s much better than I expected.”
"What is the use?"
Xuanhao yawned boredly.
"What's the meaning……"
Shiba Jinbei didn't quite understand the meaning of Xuanhao's words, but he soon realized it.
boom--
With a loud noise, a long-dormant spiritual pressure burst out from the ground, targeting Tsunayashiro Ryota, who had little fighting ability.
"!?"
In Tsunayoshiroda's stunned eyes, a ferocious big hand grabbed him mercilessly.
"Click——"
With the force of this hand, screams and blood were squeezed out of his mouth at the same time.
"well……"
Seeing this scene, Shiba Jinbei sighed slightly and prepared to go to save people.
But he was held down by a hand on his shoulder.
"Why are you stopping me?"
Shiba Jinbei looked back at Xuanhao who was holding him down with some confusion.
When he went to save other students before, he didn't see this person stopping him.
"Don't worry."
Xuan Hao shook his head gently, "When you take action, it means he loses the opportunity. After all, he is a member of the four nobles. Don't let others say that you don't give him a chance."
"Oh, that's right, just give it a breath anyway."
After hearing this, Shiba Jinbei patted his head in agreement, "It won't be easy if the Tsunayashiro family comes to trouble me. I can't afford to offend him~"
"..."
Xuan Hao shook his head in silence.
Although he didn't pay much attention to this so-called 'practical test', he didn't really want to do anything to save it.
The reason why he stopped Shiba Jinbei was because he sensed an aura that made him somewhat concerned.
"Let's scatter, Senbonzakura."
Shijie·Senbonzakura.
Along with a slightly disdainful voice, countless almost invisible thin blades passed by, flying like cherry blossoms blown by the wind under the sunlight.
But this beautiful cherry blossom is deadly.
The next moment, the virtual head that grabbed Tsunayoshirota was cut into pieces together with the bone mask.
"Ahem..."
As Kyon fell, Tsunayashiro Ryota finally fell to the ground.
He coughed twice and saw the slender figure among the withered cherry blossoms.
"I don't allow victims on my battlefield. Anyone who gets in the way will hide away from me."
After leaving behind indifferent words, the girl's figure disappeared again.
"Damn it! What are you so arrogant about!?"
Si Fengyuan Lan, who had just finished dealing with Xu, looked at the place where the girl disappeared and said with some reluctance.
"Are you OK?"
"Ahem...it's okay..."
Tsunayoshirota used his reply to recover from his injuries, with a trace of reluctance on his face as well.
"I didn't expect that as the same four nobles, the gap between us would be so big..."
"Kuchiki Truth?"
Xuan Hao frowned and looked at the back of the girl rushing to the front.
For some reason, the moment the girl released her Zanpakutō, he sensed a familiar aura. That aura was indeed the soul fragment.
But...the next moment this breath disappeared again.
"Is it an illusion? Or..."
He shook his head slightly and planned to continue observing first.
But now it seems like we need to take this ‘practical test’ a little more seriously.
······
The girl's figure moved forward in an unstoppable manner, but the others following behind her had been thrown a long distance away.
"Damn it, how many Hollows are left here? If all these bitches are killed, wouldn't we all be eliminated!?"
Some people followed reluctantly, but they were completely helpless.
Because they couldn't catch up with the speed of this girl, and they couldn't even get a mixed assist.
"The last one..."
Mari Kuchiki stared at the last virtual creature in front of him and murmured to himself.
She heard the complaints behind her, but she didn't pay attention.
A group of guys who can't even feel the spiritual pressure of how many hollows are here don't think they can really win, right?
"Fearless sacrifice has no meaning at all."
How cruel is this world? No one knows it better than her.
She only believes in herself and the only truth. Holding a knife in her hand has power, and without power, she will be eliminated. Whether it is a struggle within the family or a game between life and death, it is the same.
