Yamabuki's spiritual pressure had undergone a qualitative leap, increasing several times compared to before he went to the Soul King Palace.
Originally, Hadō spells above number ninety could be cast instantly, but their power would be discounted.
But now, with the support of powerful spiritual pressure, even if Hadō spells above number ninety were cast instantly, their power would not be diminished in the slightest.
"Hadō #90, Kurohitsugi!"
A black orb of light emerged from Yamabuki's hand. As the orb dispersed, a huge black coffin appeared around Unohana. At the same time, countless black blades pierced through it. When the coffin collapsed, Unohana had dozens of penetrating wounds all over her body and was propped up by her sword, panting.
They had engaged in this type of exchange many times before, so they skillfully jumped into the hot spring to heal their injuries, and in a short while, they were fully recovered.
"This is the Shinigami's Kidō! And the Kaidō you used before, they are both amazing abilities. Can you teach me these too?" Unohana asked.
"Of course, no problem." As the jack-of-all-trades in the Gotei 13, Yamabuki had dabbled in almost everything and picked things up quickly.
Among them, Kidō and Kaidō were used the most.
Since Unohana wanted to learn, he would naturally teach her with all his might.
However, after fighting all night, Yamabuki still hadn't discovered any new abilities from his Zanpakutō.
Could it be that the Sword Spirit deliberately made up an excuse to avoid teaching him Bankai?
While he hadn't made much progress, Unohana's progress was incredibly fast. Her control over spiritual pressure was already extremely strong; she just hadn't been exposed to Kidō before.
Now, with an all-around master teaching her hand-in-hand and at close range, in just one night, she was already able to use basic Kaidō and treat some simple external injuries.
To test the results of the experiment, Yamabuki somehow got a fish. He heard that fish only have a seven-second memory, so he decided to use this fish for the experiment!
And so, this fish died and came back to life, came back to life and died again, all night long. It finally made it to dawn, only to be made into a fish hotpot!
No choice, breakfast had to be a bit greasy!
Although the two lived together, their tastes were vastly different. Yamabuki preferred lighter foods, while Unohana preferred strong-flavored foods, almost always wanting something spicy.
So, when Yamabuki cooked, he often made two portions: one spicy and one light.
Over time, he got used to it.
...
Shino'o Academy.
"Everyone, practice! No slacking off! If anyone dares to slack off, I'll break their legs!" Yamabuki held a practice sword and scolded the students until they complained bitterly.
"Has Teacher Yamabuki been dumped recently? Why is he acting like a pervert?"
"Wasn't he always a pervert?"
"Quiet, don't let him hear you."
I already heard you. Can you whisper a little quieter when you're talking behind my back?
It seems they're not practicing hard enough! They still have the energy to chat here.
The great war would descend in half a year. Yamabuki looked at these students, a trace of sadness in his eyes. Once the war came, these students would immediately become official members and go to battle. How many of them would return then?
He was just their teacher, not their nanny. He couldn't protect them forever, and besides, in his current situation, he could barely protect himself, let alone others.
War would inevitably shed blood! There would inevitably be sacrifices! This was unavoidable.
He just hadn't told these students about the war in half a year. Let them enjoy their last carefree time.
To increase their chances of survival on the battlefield, Yamabuki decided to use these last six months to put these students through devilish training. As long as their strength increased by one point, they would have one more chance to survive on the battlefield.
"This afternoon, we will have a practical combat exercise. You will be assigned to Rukongai or the Human World to hunt Hollows. Be prepared," Yamabuki said with a cold face.
This was the first practical combat exercise for this group of students. Upon hearing this news, many students' faces showed expressions of fear.
Yamabuki turned and left, completely ignoring the wailing students behind him.
"I guess Teacher Yamabuki's condition has worsened. Should we tell his attending physician to increase his dosage?" one student complained.
Why have a practical combat exercise all of a sudden!
"Don't you know? The best doctor in the Gotei 13 is Teacher Yamabuki. I bet he prescribes medicine for himself!" another student sighed.
Only Yamatake Chiyo frowned slightly. She felt that the atmosphere was wrong. These students' strength was limited. How could that bastard Yamabuki think of letting them directly participate in battles with Hollows?
Perhaps she should try to sneak away!
Thinking this, Yamatake Chiyo trotted over to Yamabuki, covered her stomach with her hand, and said with a pained expression, "Teacher, I'm sick. Can I not participate in this afternoon's exercise?"
Yamabuki stared coldly at the girl.
"No."
"I... I'm on my period, Teacher... My stomach hurts so much. Can you make an exception, and I'll participate in the next practical combat exercise..."
"Even if you're nine months pregnant and the baby falls out of your belly still attached by the umbilical cord, you still have to participate in the practical combat exercise. No discussion, go back!" Yamabuki said indifferently.
That analogy is too sadistic, isn't it?
Yamatake Chiyo pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "Is there a major change in the Seireitei?"
"That's not something a student like you should know," Yamabuki said.
Seeing Yamabuki's attitude, Yamatake Chiyo already guessed that there must be a problem in the Soul Society and a large amount of combat power was urgently needed. Otherwise, Yamabuki's attitude towards the students wouldn't have changed so much.
One should know that usually Yamabuki would find a few strong students to teach them swordsmanship and Kidō, and then he would find a place to slack off.
But look at him now, does that look like slacking off?
His face was as dark as a thunderstorm.
Since she already had a guess, she couldn't ask any more questions. Asking more might leak secrets, and then that bastard might find an excuse to kill her, which would be a huge loss.
It seemed she couldn't avoid this afternoon's practical combat exercise.
In the afternoon, all the students were ready and prepared to depart. This time, Yamabuki didn't follow them. These children had to learn to be independent and couldn't always rely on him.
Yamabuki's task for them was to hunt a Hollow and bring its corpse back.
"Sure enough, you also can't bear to part with these students, can you?" Chika Shihōin appeared in Shino'o Academy at some point and said with a smile.
"Humans are not plants; how can they be without feelings? Why are you here? Do you need me for something?" Yamabuki asked.
"Yes! I've developed some new moves and want you to help me test them," Chika Shihōin said with a grin.
"Alright, let's go!"
