Chōjirō Sasakibe's eyes were full of little stars. This was great! With Big Brother Yamabuki helping him, he would soon become a qualified Vice Captain.
"Eat, eat! No matter what, you have to eat your fill before talking! There's no hot pot in Soul Society, right?" Yamabuki laughed.
"Hmm, I've never eaten like this before!" Chōjirō Sasakibe nodded while eating meat.
Soon, the three of them finished the entire pot of ingredients and patted their bellies contentedly.
"Now that we've eaten well, shouldn't we do some post-meal exercise? You two, follow me." Yamabuki led Chōjirō Sasakibe and Unohana to the Underground Training Ground.
Chōjirō Sasakibe's eyes almost popped out.
"Big Brother Yamabuki, you actually dug such a large space underground?"
"This is the wisdom of adults." Yamabuki looked smug: "Now we're going to start your special training. Do you know the fastest way to get stronger in this world?"
Chōjirō Sasakibe shook his head vigorously.
"It's actual combat."
"Actual combat?"
"That's right, actual combat. All strong people constantly get stronger through actual combat, and you'll be no exception." Yamabuki looked like he knew a lot.
Chōjirō Sasakibe said very happily: "In that case… Big Brother Yamabuki wants me to be a coach?"
Yamabuki showed a very mysterious smile.
"There is indeed someone to be your coach, but that person isn't me." Yamabuki turned to look at Unohana.
Chōjirō Sasakibe's face instantly turned pale.
Are you kidding me?
Let this fierce woman be my coach?
She'll just cut me down!
"Big Brother Yamabuki, I suddenly remembered that I have a lot of things to do at home. I'll go back first, I won't bother you!" Chōjirō Sasakibe turned to run, but Yamabuki reached out and grabbed him back.
"Trying to run? Too late! Go!"
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked at the gentle Unohana before him.
"Now that everyone is on our side, they probably won't cut me to death, right?" Chōjirō Sasakibe thought, trembling.
Then, the next second, he saw Unohana reveal a smile like a demon.
No, demons were nothing compared to this woman!
"Yamabuki-Aniki!!! Help!!!"
...
The next day at work.
Chōjirō Sasakibe tremblingly came before Yamamoto and began to handle the day's work.
"Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?" Yamamoto asked casually.
Chōjirō Sasakibe shuddered at the thought of repeatedly oscillating between "dying" and "coming back to life" last night. He never wanted to experience that again in his life.
It was too damn tormenting!
Every time he was cut half to death by Unohana, then thrown into that strange hot spring, only to fully recover shortly after, and then continued to be cut half to death by Unohana, then thrown back into the hot spring, repeating endlessly.
Chōjirō Sasakibe scratched his head, only to find he was losing hair!
"...I'm still so young, I shouldn't be going bald, right!" Chōjirō Sasakibe trembled even more violently.
However, this desperate training was effective. Chōjirō Sasakibe's spiritual pressure was increasing at a visible rate.
At the same time, Unohana and Yamabuki arrived at the Eleventh Division Barracks.
The members of the Eleventh Division had already lined up in two rows to welcome them.
"Captain!"
"Chief of Staff!!!"
In the Gotei 13, the strong were naturally more popular. Unohana looked all smiles, but everyone knew this madwoman had almost single-handedly slaughtered her way through the Seireitei, leaving everyone terrified.
"Yamabuki, what is my job as Captain?" Unohana asked curiously.
"Just lead them out to cut people. As for who to cut, I'll tell you then," Yamabuki said.
And so, the Eleventh Division Captain officially took office.
Yamabuki had barely settled in when he saw a shadowy figure peeking in from the doorway; it was Chōjirō Sasakibe.
"Yamabuki-Aniki, the Captain Commander wants you to prepare the new recruits' uniforms and submit a document later," Chōjirō Sasakibe said.
"No problem."
The main reason Unohana could run rampant in the Seireitei before was that all the Captains were out recruiting. If the Captain Commander had still been there, it wouldn't have been Yamabuki's turn to act.
Yamabuki counted the number of new recruits, then wrote a document and sent it to the First Division.
On his way back, Chōjirō Sasakibe was very happy.
He was now the Vice Captain of the First Division, with many squad members under his command.
"Our Gotei 13 has truly grown stronger this time!" Chōjirō Sasakibe exclaimed.
Before Yamabuki could reply, a very discordant voice came from beside them.
"What Gotei 13? Does the Seireitei need protection from you country bumpkins? You're making a mess of everything, I'm fed up!"
Yamabuki and Chōjirō Sasakibe turned around simultaneously to find the speaker was a young man in noble attire. Judging by his clothes, his status was not low.
He wore a Zanpakutō at his waist, held a sake flask in his right hand, and had a gentian flower tucked into his chest. He was already drunk in broad daylight, and upon hearing Chōjirō Sasakibe mention the Gotei 13, he started spouting nonsense.
Indeed, the establishment of the Gotei 13 had taken away many resources from the nobles and also seized quite a bit of power, causing many nobles to be resentful.
"What do you mean by that?" Chōjirō Sasakibe angrily demanded.
Yamabuki didn't want to bother with a drunkard and reached out to pull his sleeve: "Forget it, let's go."
The drunken noble saw the two brats run off and sneered disdainfully.
Yamabuki had been in the Seireitei for a long time and knew these nobles somewhat. Judging by the drunkard's attire, he was from the high-ranking noble Yamatake Clan.
He heard that this was originally a large family, but later the family's population declined, and by their generation, only a brother and sister remained. The arrogant person on the road just now must have been the current head of the Yamatake Clan, Yamatake Chiaki.
No wonder, with such low intelligence, the decline in population was normal. The main thing was that if he encountered someone with a bad temper, they might just draw their sword and cut him down.
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked dejected.
"Yamabuki-Aniki, is there really a difference between noble and commoner birth? Before I became Vice Captain, many noble squad members looked down on me. These nobles are so annoying! Can't you think of a way?" Chōjirō Sasakibe whispered.
Yamabuki showed a helpless expression: "Even I can't control people's hearts. People will always display their strengths to express their sense of superiority. Even without differences in birth, they will find other excuses to belittle others. As for nobles and commoners... Hmph, are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers born with special blood?"
