In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and in March of the next year, the new semester began.
In the auditorium, Xia Yan stood in the queue with an excited expression, waiting for the temporary loan of the Zanpakutō.
After finishing his studies in the fourth grade, Natsuhiko entered the sixth grade directly. Along with other sixth graders, he was temporarily borrowed a Zanpakutō.
Although the temporarily borrowed Zanpakutō will not be officially awarded until joining the team, if the rules are not violated, the Zanpakutō will belong to the individual.
Natsuhiko is looking forward to his Zanpakutō, but it will take some time before he gets it.
In this half year, Xia Yan's strength has also been slowly growing.
In the second half of the semester, Xia Yan devoted more energy to the ghost path. He first learned the elementary breaking path and the elementary binding path. The more useful one is the binding path twenty-one red smoke escape, which releases a huge red smoke screen to cover his own. Body shape is Kichiyo Ohmaeda's specialty.
There are also twenty-six curves of light that bind the path, covering objects with ghost paths, making the objects invisible to others.
In the Thirty Years of Binding Dao, the mouth suddenly flashes three times, releasing three huge beak-shaped beams, fixing the opponent's waist and hands to the object, restricting the enemy's movement.
There is only one month left in the third grade to learn elementary ghost ways. Xia Yan can only learn some practical intermediate breaking ways and binding ways.
For example, the Thirty-one Red Fire Cannon of Breaking the Way shoots out a huge ball of fire at an extremely fast speed, with both impact and extremely high temperature.
The Red Fire Cannon is also the most used broken path among the Shinigami, and its power and difficulty are both suitable.
In addition, there are also the thirty-two yellow fire flashes of Breaking the Road, high-speed flame shooting. The Thirty-Three Blue Fire Pendants of Po Dao, a blue explosive fire attack. The Fifty-Eight Khotan Lan of the Broken Path shoots a huge tornado at the enemy and so on.
These are the more practical intermediate-level broken paths, and there are also some bound paths, such as the Thirty-Seven Hanging Stars of the Binding Path, which use spiritual power to make a hammock in the air to help people who fall.
The Thirty-nine Round Gate Fans of Binding Dao, the original protective shield, and the Fifty-Eight Slapping Toes Chasing Bird of Binding Dao are used to sense the enemy's spiritual pressure and track the enemy.
After Xia Yan learned these ghost ways, the third grade ended, and he skipped directly to the sixth grade.
The sixth grade will grant a Zanpakutō, but the Zanpakutō is only a temporary loan. You will not receive the Zanpakutō until you enter the 13th Division.
Of course, even if you borrow it temporarily, you can still pour your soul into it, get the name of the Zanpakutō, and then begin to understand it.
Xia Yan stood at the front of the crowd, but because he was skipping a grade, his student status was at the last one. After everyone in front was called, the teacher's voice sounded, "Xia Yan."
"arrive."
Xia Yan stood up suddenly and ran towards the stands. Seeing his figure, the other teachers and students had complicated expressions.
Fourteen-year-old Xia Yan is the youngest winner of the Shallow Fight in Soul Society. Being in the same grade as him, all the light will be blocked.
Of course, in three years, a younger and more powerful genius will appear and shock the entire Soul Society.
Xia Yan walked up to the podium, and a teacher handed a Zanpakutō to Xia Yan and said, "I will lend you this Zanpakutō temporarily. After I bring you into the team, I will officially grant it to you."
Natsuhiko took the Zanpakutō, suppressed his excitement, and returned to the team.
The Zanpakutō is wrapped in a scabbard. This scabbard is not part of the sword, but is configured by the academy to prevent accidents.
Most people will discard the scabbard after mastering the true name of the Zanpakutō. Most of the captain-level and deputy-captain-level Shinigami's Zanpakutō will not be placed in the scabbard.
And Ermeiya Wang Yue once made a sword that was so sharp that no scabbard in the world could hold it, and it shined in the Thousand-Year Blood War Chapter.
Xia Yan held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled the long knife out of the scabbard. The black and white blade and the sharp blade were pulled out of the scabbard inch by inch.
When Xia Yan completely pulled out the long knife, what appeared in front of him was a knife with a blade length of two feet and two inches.
In Soul Society, almost all shallow strikes are sword strikes.
The tachi is similar to the tachi, but there are some differences. The tachi is relatively long and has a large arc, while the tachi is relatively short and has a smaller arc.
In addition, the way of wearing it is different. Most of the tachi's blades are facing the ground. The handle has two rings and is hung around the waist.
The knife is inserted into the waist with the blade upward. When used, it can be pulled out with the right hand or backhand with the left hand.
Xia Yan looked at the sword in front of him, feeling endless joy in his heart. This was his Zanpakutō, the Zanpakutō that would accompany him in the next time.
After receiving the Zanpakutō, Natsuhiko listened to the teachers' lectures and then returned to his dormitory.
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, Renji Abarai saw the Zanpakutō, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards him and said, "Let me see your sword quickly."
Natsuhiko handed the Zanpakutō to Renji Abarai. After the latter caught it, he pulled out the knife, looked at the sharp blade, and said, "Is this the Zanpakutō?"
As he spoke, Abarai Renji held the handle of the knife, raised the knife high and then slashed it down, causing a strong wind to rise.
Renji Abarai was very envious and said, "I envy you for being able to get the Zanpakutō so quickly."
Natsuhiko smiled and said, "Brother Renji, you will definitely be able to get a Zanpakutō when you reach sixth grade."
Renji Abarai sighed and said, "It will take another three years."
Renji Abarai has just finished his second grade, and the next school year will be third grade. His grades are average. Although his spiritual pressure is relatively high and his swordsmanship is good, his scores in every exam are relatively poor.
But he will graduate sooner or later, and his future is not bleak.
Kira Izuru and Kondo Yuu passed around Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto, with envious looks in their eyes.
Renji Abarai looked at Natsuhiko and asked, "You are valued by the Second Division. You can directly go to the Second Division for internship. When will you leave?"
Xia Yan replied: "There is still one month."
After getting the Zanpakutō, you also need to learn the method of soul infusion. By injecting the soul into the Zanpakutō, you can communicate with the Zanpakutō, and then get the Zanpakutō's recognition. After knowing the Zanpakutō's true name, by calling the true name, Carry out initial solution.
Of course, many people cannot do it even after graduation, but this does not prevent them from performing the work of the God of Death.
Therefore, one month into the school year, after the infusion method is taught, they will be allowed to practice.
The purpose of the internship is to assess whether one has the ability to graduate, and the Thirteenth Division will be recruited based on the results of the internship.
If your internship performance is too poor, your graduation qualifications will be revoked and your probation will be withdrawn.
There are many aspects of the internship. The first one is soul burial, which does not require a Zanpakutō to begin. It only requires a Zanpakutō combined with spells to bury the soul and lead it to Soul Society.
The second item is to kill the Hollow. An ordinary low-level Hollow can be killed even if he doesn't know how to solve it. He can still kill it by using Kidō combined with swordsmanship and Shunpo.
As long as you do well in these two items, you can graduate smoothly.
Of course, the purpose of the internship is to join the Thirteenth Division. Those like Xia Yan who are recruited in advance do not need to assess their internship results. They can directly go through the graduation ceremony and award ceremony.
Abarai Renji's expression darkened when he heard Natsuhiko's words. After Natsuhiko entered the second division, he would be separated from them and would not meet again until graduation.
Natsuhiko also felt a little sad, but Renji Abarai patted Natsuhiko on the shoulder and said: "Natsuyan, you have to practice hard and seriously. Although you were recruited in advance, I will not fall behind. Maybe I will become the deputy first." team leader."
Kira Izuru smiled and joked beside him: "Renji, by the time you become the vice-captain, Natsuhiko will have already become the captain."
"Captain? Kira, you underestimate me too much." Renji Abarai looked angry and glared at Kira Izuru.
Kondo Isamu also smiled and said: "I think so too."
"You two bastards."
Renji Abarai raised his fist, ready to fight, and chased the two of them into a fight.
Seeing the three people having fun, Xia Yan said silently in his heart: "Brother Renji, I will work hard."
