Chapter 9 - Growth arc: Steady growth, one million push ups.

I stared in shock as I saw three lunatics fighting without any care and slicing up that hollow. They sliced that hollow till it could not regenerate again. This type of fighting makes one's blood boil.

"Hey, maki did you not leave yet" the pink hair girl yachiru asked. "Girl I am kozuki aryan" I said while patting her head, the fear I had of this girl went away in a flash after knowing who it was.

"Alright let's leave" zaraki spoke as he arrived next to me and yachiru climbed on him.

"Let's go Kenny", the duo started to run towards the seireitei but after a while they took wrong turn.

"Oye, new captain that is the wrong way" I said, causing him to stop and go in the correct way. It happened few times before I was made the official guide.

..

At the entrance I found gin waving at me "Glad to see you are safe 12th seat" he said.

"You left me all alone" I shouted, "well my mission was to just inspect the area and report back. It is your fault that you started fighting those hollows" Gin said, I could not talk back as he was correct.

"This time it is my fault, but I don't want to be on another mission with you every again" I shouted.

"Aryan-san, glad you are ok" Kyoko came and hugged me; it seems she was informed of the information very late fortunately; otherwise, she would have rushed the moment she heard of the news.

"Don't worry your husband is the most powerful person in the entire world, nothing would happen to me" I spoke jokingly, and lightened the mood.

"Also, aryan-san, what is this about you being a playboy. Lieutenant Gin informed about this" she spoke with a calm voice, cold sweat drenched me as I was dragged by kyoko.

"Gin you ba***" I cursed him loudly, "my my what did I do now" Gin asked innocently as others thought, 'it is all your fault'.

..

After that incident I had started training crazily, I asked few colleges to him me build training equipment which can help me train. The first device I requested was a gravity multiplying chamber, my idea caught the attention of squad 12 3rd seat akon. Who designed and developed it, it costs my one-year salary which I agreed to pay through emi. 

Kyoko was so angered by it that she did not let me on bed for a week.

The device would increase the gravity by 15 times that is the maximum it can take. I was able to do my complete training with 10 g. 

Slowly I started to increase my training, after zaraki became the squad 11 captain the number of hollow attack started to decrease. And even if there were zaraki would finish it himself, his rate of success started to make him a legend.

With that other squads had lot of time freed up, squad 10 became a primary inspection squad somehow. They had also taken up escort tasks; this in turn developed the squad revenue.

Each squad had its own speciality to earn money, squad 12 earns most money also spends most money. Squad 13 takes up most of the work related to living world, squad 9 has its own new agency, squad 8 is in charge of books also it handles the academy, squad 4 is medic, squad 2 is stealth force, squad 1 is in-charge of politics, squad 6, squad 3, squad 7 are just a regular force and squad 5 it takes the most boring and tedious job, paper works, squad 5 is in charge of regulating money, from releasing funds to recovering funds.

This is also the reason why everyone likes squad 5, who does not like money.

Things started to move smoothly, and another peaceful time period formed. I used this to train like a crazy, like zoro on drugs doing training.

I started to make my physical body in such a good shape that I had 10 packs abs. Which I thought was impossible. Then I had also achieved a bench mark of being able to do 50000 push ups continuously, this can be considered as a bench mark, of all the people I know no one has been able to do this much. Except for the new squad 11 lunatics, I had only seen zaraki warmups once, he would do a run till the far away tiger forest which was about a 100 km than he would start cutting up huge trees, then he would do sit ups and push ups and weight lifting, etc about a 100 sets each. Then comes back and baths, then goes to training hall and beats the shit out of his squad members. Then repeats this whole schedule 2 more times.

Comparing to that I had nothing to complain, I had to took 9 hours to do 50000 push ups. I normally don't go full day push ups, except one day every week.

Squad 11 training and methods interested me a lot, it is the best squad if you want to become strong.

A year after zaraki became captain; I applied to change to squad 11. I simply told; I want to serve captain zaraki as my reason to transfer.

Kyoko was upset over this, but I had made up my mind. 

For the next decade peace was retained over soul society. Until we heard that squad 6 captain kuchiki ginrei has passed away due to old age.

He was then succeeded by his grandson kuchiki byakuya, his ability to control the squad from beginning was something only zaraki has achieved in the past century.

As for me, I am now the 4th seat of Squad 11 kozuki arya. I am a sour part of the squad; I am the only one who uses kido in battles.

I mean I can use level 80's kido, so of course I will use it. My strength has also increase by a lot, I have finally overtaken kyoko both as a officer and strength.

I was at a completely different level 2 decades ago. The constant spar with ikkaku and other squad members, keeping up with captain zaraki's training, mastering observation haki level 1 it is only a matter of time before I can surpass ikkaku.

Also I had finally achieved the goal set by gin 2 decades ago.

Squad 5 barracks

"Hello arya-san, did you come to meet kyoko-san again" the female receptionist asked.

"No today I came to visit lieutenant gin" I said, "are you on official visit" she asked, "no, this is an personal visit" I said and wrote down by name and time of entry before going to gin's cabin.

"Lieutenant Gin, 4th seat kozuki arya of squad 11 has come to visit you" I spoke outside his cabin, waiting for his approval.

"Enter" he said, "yo, haven't seen you in a while kozuki arya-kun" gin said.

"Lieutenant gin, why don't we continue our training from 2 decades ago. I can do one million push ups continuously now" I said smiling.

"did I tell you something like that, I must have forgotten it" Gin said smiling, "stop smiling and fight me" I said issuing a challenge.

"My my, looks like I have to give you beatings to make you quite".

… 

On the squad 5 training field

Gin and I faced each other. Gin released his spiritual pressure, but I was already used to fighting at this level of spiritual pressure.

"You have definitely grown" gin said, as we clashed with our zanjutsu. After a while gin proved superior, so I switched to kido, which I was superior. 

"You have definitely grown stronger than before, but you cannot defeat me" "Impale him, shisuo" Gin used his zanpakuto to completely reverse the situation. 

Kido is a long ranged attack techniques, so I was at an advantage. But gin's zanpakuto completely turned the battle into his side.

In the end I was still defeated by him.
