Chapter 878
Receiving Kuchimu Yinling, the head of the noble family of the Soul Realm, cannot be as casual as receiving other people.
Ethan invited him into the reception room, and then quietly waited for the tea and snacks to be set; during the period, the two of them sat facing each other without saying a word, as if they were sculptures, without any movement.
After the tea and snacks were ready, Ethan made a gesture of invitation as the host, and Kuchiki Yinling took a symbolic sip of hot tea before the two began to talk formally.
Ethan is not an aristocrat, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand these rules. After becoming a god of death, he can more or less understand these things, and he also knows how to deal with these real nobles.
Don't look at Sifengyuan Yeyi who doesn't look like a nobleman, in fact, she understands all the rules. Occasionally watching Sifengyuan Yeyi receive other nobles, Ethan has already learned all those 'rules'.
"I'm curious, why did Captain Kuchiki look for me?"
The purpose of Kuchiki Yinling's visit has already been mentioned before, and this conversation is to discuss specific details.
"Captain Unohana thinks highly of Captain Ethan."
Unlike Yoichi Sifengin who only maintains his aristocratic demeanor when needed, Kuchiki Yinling is the kind of person who engraves his aristocratic demeanor and rules in his bones, even if no one sees him, he will perfectly maintain his aristocratic image .
"Is that so?" Ethan paused for a moment, pondering the language in his mind, and found that he was really not good at talking in circles, so he cut directly to the topic: "The Kuchiki family should have no shortage of teachers, right?"
As the four great nobles, the Kuchiki family certainly has no shortage of teachers. No matter what they want to learn, they can find teachers who are even better than the Shino Academy of Spiritual Art, or one-on-one teaching.
"Those people don't have the strength of Captain Ethan."
Kuchiki Yinling maintained the same expression from the beginning to the end, even the sitting posture did not change, except for taking a sip of tea at the beginning, her hands were firmly placed on her lap.
"Captain Kuchiki is overrated."
After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. As for why Kuchiki Yinling would look for her? Ethan can roughly guess it.
As Ethan said, the Kuchiki family has no shortage of teachers, and the Kuchiki family doesn't need to worry about education if they want to train future generations.
But there is one problem that cannot be ignored: Kuchiki Yinling is not young anymore, and she may retire from the position of the captain of the sixth team at any time; it can even be said that the sudden death of the current head of the Kuchiki family is not worth it. surprise thing.
The lifespan of the gods of death is related to the intensity of spiritual pressure. For example, Shigekuni Yamamoto has lived for an unknown number of years. Although he looks like an old man, he is still alive and kicking and can easily beat most young people to death.
Uzhi Huaretsu is also not young, but the powerful Reiatsu allows her to maintain a young and beautiful appearance.
There is also Toshirō Hitsugaya, who was born with an astonishingly strong spiritual pressure. Because the spiritual pressure is too strong, it becomes difficult to grow up, and he always looks good.
Although Kuchiki Yinling's strength is not bad, but it's just an ordinary captain's level of strength. You can tell from his appearance that he is very old. into the last years of life.
In addition, Kuchiki Sojun, as the heir of the Kuchiki family, is very smart and kind-hearted, and is extremely loved by the members of the 6th team; unfortunately, due to his innate poor physical fitness, it is difficult to grow his strength, so he even became the deputy of the 6th team. The captain is more because the sixth team has been controlled by the Kuchiki family for a long time, and Kuchiki Aojun is already the default captain of the sixth team.
But can Kuchiki Aojun, who is not strong enough, be able to stay securely as the captain of the sixth division? After all, Shinigami is a profession that pays attention to hard skills, and Kuchiki Yinling has to start thinking about further things.
Find a current captain of the Gotei 13th Division as a teacher for his grandson Kuchiki Byakuya, even in name only, so that the Kuchiki family can take care of multiple people in the Gotei 13th Division.
In this way, after he retires or dies, Kuchiki Aojun will still have someone to turn to when he encounters troubles at work... If Kuchiki Aojun encounters any accident, Kuchiki Byakuya encounters something that he doesn't understand, at least he can know it. who to ask.
Once Kuchiki Yinling and Kuchiki Aojun are gone, Kuchiki Byakuya needs to grow up faster and take over the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family patriarch and the captain of the 6th squad. Don't worry about family affairs, there are enough people who can teach Kuchiki Byakuya how to To become a qualified Patriarch, the Gotei 13th Division will place their hopes on Ethan's guidance.
As for why Ethan was chosen?
Shigekuni Yamamoto has confiscated students for a long time, and the Kuchiki family, as a great nobleman, sent the next Patriarch to Shigekuni Yamamoto as a student, even in name only, it was too conspicuous.
In a way, there are contradictions between the nobles of the soul world, Shigekuni Yamamoto and the Gotei 13th Division, so Shigekuni Yamamoto is not suitable.
Uzhihualie has both seniority and strength, but Uzhihualie is unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, so she will not agree. Having been captains for so many years, Kuchiki Yinling is very sure of this.
If you remove Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Shiro, who are also from the Yamamoto Shigekuni family, there are not many people that Kuchiki Yinling can choose. Among them, Ethan's situation is the most suitable - the relationship with Yoichi, the contemporary head of the Sifengin family. That's right, but I'm not a nobleman, which means I don't have any ties.
The most important thing is that Ethan is outstanding in the basic abilities of shunpo, ghost way, swordsmanship, and white fighting, especially the foundation is solid enough. Please ask him to be Bai Zai's teacher, so you don't have to worry about Bai Zai's learning.
When Ethan was thinking about these things, Kuchiki Yinling was still sitting quietly, showing no signs of impatience.
"There seems to be no reason to refuse."
It wasn't until Ethan said this that Kuchiki Yinling reacted a little bit, nodded slightly, and then he began to discuss with Ethan: Should he formally accept a teacher as an apprentice, or give some random advice?
Ethan knew that Kuchiki Yinling was just saying it politely, and he probably didn't want Kuchiki Byakuya to really worship him as a teacher in his heart.
"It doesn't have to be so formal."
Sure enough, Kuchiki Yinling stopped bringing up this topic very simply, and then made an appointment with Ethan to bring Bai Zai to the 10th team to meet his teacher in two days—this is considered to be a face for Ethan, not for Ethan Go to Kuchiki's mansion to give advice.
After all, he is also the captain of the 10th Division, Kuchiki Ginsuzu would not do such a disrespectful thing.
After the matter was settled, Kuchiki Yinling bid farewell and left. Ethan sent the senior directly to the gate of the 10th division team building, and then watched Kuchiki Yinling slowly disappear from sight.
Zhibo Yixin, who didn't know where he was hiding, suddenly appeared, and then looked at his captain curiously.
"Captain, do you agree?"
"It's a promise!"
"That kid from the Kuchiki family wants to worship you as a teacher?"
"It's not official." Ethan glanced at his vice-captain. The Zhiba family is also a great nobleman in the soul world, but Zhibo Yixin is not a member of the main family, but the head of the branch family: "After all, that is the Kuchiki family. future homeowner."
"The Kuchiki family!"
The two stood at the door for a while, then turned around and went back in. This matter was nothing, and Kuchiki's family probably couldn't make a big publicity about it. Perhaps many people would not know that they were going to be Kuchiki Byakuya's teacher.
Things were similar to what Ethan had guessed, and within two days, Kuchiki Yinling brought Kuchiki Byakuya to the 10th division team building, allowing Ethan to meet his students.
Except for a very small number of people, there was no news that the Kuchiki family had found Ethan to be Bai Zai's teacher.
Looking at the immature Kuchiki Byakuya in front of him, Ethan felt that this job should be quite interesting, just to pass the boring time.
"Come over after lunch every day. As for how long you will study... that depends on your performance."
Although Kuchiki Byakuya looked reluctant, but in front of his grandfather, he didn't dare to be too disrespectful, it was not to embarrass himself, but to discredit Kuchiki's family.
"From now on, we will trouble Captain Ethan!"
What Ethan didn't expect was that Kuchiki Byakuya's father, Kuchiki Sojun, also came, and he saluted Ethan very solemnly, as if Kuchiki Byakuya was going to formally worship Ethan as his teacher, and he could make Kuchiki Bai Zai worshiped as if it was an honor for the Kuchiki family to be under Ethan's sect.
Kuchiki Aojun was so polite, which made Ethan feel at ease.
"Too polite."
Looking at the man in front of him who looks exactly like Byakuya Kuchiki, but with a gentle smile on his face forever, Ethan suddenly became curious. If Sojun Kuchiki hadn’t sacrificed, Byakuya Kuchiki would have turned into a big block of ice in the future ?
Turning his gaze back, Ethan looked at Byakuya Kuchiki again.
"How should I teach it?"
Because of Kuchiki Sojun's performance, Ethan began to think about teaching Kuchiki Byakuya something seriously, but if Kuchiki Byakuya's painting style is taken away...Thinking about that scene, it seems quite amusing.
"Let's start with the basics!"
Kuchiki Yinling and Kuchiki Sojun left after greeting each other, leaving only Ethan, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Shiba Isshin who was watching the fun in the dojo: Captain finally stopped torturing me!
"Let me see how your foundation is."
Kuchiki Byakuya held the bamboo knife in his hand, posed a pose honestly and then waved it around.
"stop!"
Kuchiki Byakuya who was suddenly called to stop was puzzled, wondering where did he make a mistake?
"It's not this kind of basic posture practice. With the resources of Kuchiki's family, I believe you have already learned the basics!" Ethan casually turned the bamboo knife in his hand, pinched his waist with his left hand and casually pointed at Kuchiki Byakuya: "I want It depends on whether you have turned that knowledge into something that truly belongs to you.”
The bamboo knife in his hand tapped lightly, as if signaling to Bai Zai: Come! Swing the knife at me!
Seeing Ethan's action, Kuchiki Byakuya immediately understood what Ethan meant. At this time, Kuchiki Byakuya was not afraid of anything, and he had the opportunity to fight against the captain of the 10th division. Being a teacher is also very interesting.
But soon he changed his mind: it's not interesting at all to be hanged and beaten unilaterally!
