9 The Fire Strikes: Scarlet Wish
"I am your homeroom teacher Jushiro Saito, and I will be your homeroom teacher for the next 6 years!"
Under the huge blackboard, Jushiro Saito, wearing a black kimono, stood in front of the podium with a solemn expression. After looking around the classroom with scorching eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he said:
"You must remember! Not only those in the special promotion class are the best students in the academy!
If you can practice hard without losing to them, you will definitely be no worse than those in the promotion class!!"
"Hi..." There was a feeble response in the classroom, and even Feng Shen Huateng was a little angry:
It was already the second day of school, but he really didn't expect that the Soul Society's Zhenou Spiritual Arts Academy would actually run a high-level, junior high school "fast and slow class", where the so-called students with good grades were gathered together and their grades were compared.
The bad ones were rounded up and left to eat and wait to die.
It's okay to be heartless and laugh.
I had a little bit of self-esteem, but my mentality suddenly collapsed.
As a result, the students with poor grades became worse and worse, and those who were originally ordinary gradually became worse. In the end, all the people in the "slow class" became real "poor students", bearing the title of "junk class" every day and doing nothing.
Work hard until graduation...
However, Jing Ling Ting's approach is a bit more fair. It just gathers the fifth-seventh-level students with strong spiritual power into one group per year, which is the legendary special promotion class——
Theoretically, some of them have the potential to become future vice-captains, or even captains, and they can eventually reach the position of chief officer;
The fourth-level candidates are enrolled in the second group of the first year. In the future, they may become deputy captains or chief officers, and at the end of the day, they will also be the mainstay of the squad.
Since the number of second- and third-class candidates is the largest, the college randomly assigns them to groups from 3 to 20 per year——
Their spiritual power is not outstanding. If they have no other special skills, after six years of study, they will be the birthplace of ordinary soldiers of each division:
Most of the Onidoshou, Gotei 13th Squadron, or ordinary soldiers of the stealth mobile team come from these 18 classes, and then enhance their strength through various experiences and tasks, and thereby gain qualifications and salary.
Yes, Soul Society also pays attention to seniority, and it is more serious than the current world——
In terms of status and privileges, the five nobles > Central Room 46 > Captain of Gotei 13 Division > Other Captains > Vice Captains > Chief Officers > Ordinary Shinigami > Rukongai.
The superiors of each class have supreme rights over the subordinate classes, and the subordinates have absolute obedience to their superiors. No one can break this system——
Otherwise, it will be regarded as "challenging the entire order of Soul Society and found guilty", and will be imprisoned or executed by the entire Seiling Chamber...
In addition, food, clothing, housing and transportation in Soul Society also cost money. Just like in the real world, there are few opportunities for free prostitution——
Jinglingting distributes salary strictly according to the rank and position of the god of death. For example, the salary of the captain is much higher than that of other captains, the salary of the captain is much higher than that of the deputy captain, and so on.
What needs to be noted is that if the damn god is born into a noble family, then the Quiet Spirit Court will issue so-called noble-exclusive allowances based on the noble's rank.
If someone asks, if Soul Society needs currency, how does Rukongai get currency?
Feng Shen Huafu scratched his head and told him: Seireitei issues currency, while Rukongai exchanges resources for currency, such as drinking water and grains, vegetables, fruits and meat.
In order to ensure this "supply and demand" relationship, Seireitei will also provide corresponding protection for Rukongai. Both of them get what they need, so why not?
Moreover, according to Tatsuma Fujiwara, the Shiba family was originally a noble with the sole power to issue currency in Soul Society.
Due to the long-term jealousy and exclusion from other nobles, coupled with the death of Shiba Kazuo, the former captain of the 10th division and head of the Shiba family, the Shiba family gradually declined——
Even though Shiba, the head of the branch family, has taken over the position of captain of the 10th Division, due to his loose and lazy nature, he still cannot reverse the decline of the Shiba family...
…
"Everyone, cheer me up!"
Jushiro Saito in front of the podium was still shouting slogans loudly, looking like he was engaged in pyramid schemes in this world. Every word he said was so inspiring:
“This time for enrollment, Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy welcomed a total of 3,001 candidates!
Among them, 1,600 candidates were eliminated because their spiritual power did not meet the standard!
In other words, only 1,401 candidates successfully became students of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, and the elimination rate was as high as 53.3%! And you—"
At this point, Saito Jushiro's voice paused, and his gaze slowly slid across the classroom. Every student wherever he looked felt like a fire was igniting in his chest for no apparent reason.
"It's the remaining lucky 46.7%!" Jushiro Saito's voice became deeper, but his words were very clear:
"Even if everyone's innate spiritual power is lacking... But this gap will become insignificant with our acquired diligence!
Then, in the next 6 years, I will devote 120% of my energy to guiding everyone!
Likewise, I ask you here to put in 120% of your efforts to shorten this gap!!"
"Hi!" The 80 students in Class 17, inspired by Jushiro Saito's almost stubbornness, were greatly affected. Even Fujin Kato couldn't help shouting in response.
"Hmph! If... hard work can change the innate gap, then why are there geniuses and mortals? Why are there still nobles and wandering souls?"
Fujiwara Tatsuma, who was sitting next to Fujin Huafu, folded his arms and watched the ridiculous behavior of Saito Jushiro and the students with cold eyes, and couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Fujiwara." Feng Shen Huafu frowned and said, "Teacher Saito is right, as long as you work hard, you can indeed change your destiny!
You see, don’t we just come from Rukongai? Now, aren’t we studying and practicing mark under the same roof as those so-called aristocratic children?”
"Wind God." Fujiwara Tatsuma glanced at the Wind God Painted Vine and said slowly: "What would you think if the results of your hard work for decades or even hundreds of years were achieved by others overnight?"
"..."
"This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people." Fujiwara Tatsuma sighed and said, "Could it be that... we can change through hard work?"
"Efforts may not have much effect, but if you don't work hard, nothing will happen!" After Feng Shen Hua Teng said these words, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Li, the "hard-working genius" from the Konoha crew next door.
Fujiwara Tatsuma snorted noncommittally and continued:
"Nobles have everything when they are born, but people in Rukongai need to struggle for decades or hundreds of years to get the opportunity to live on an equal footing with nobles. What do you think?"
"So... we have to work harder to shorten this time."
"Hmph! What if the nobles are also working hard?" The sarcastic look on Fujiwara Tatsuma's face became more and more intense. He looked at the wind god Hua Teng and said:
"After all, there are only a few nobles who rest on the merits of their ancestors...and having said that, these declining nobles are not considered real nobles!"
"..." Feng Shen Huafu wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to refute, so he could only stay silent and looked at the front of the classroom, where he saw Saito Jushiro writing furiously on the blackboard.
"Wind God, I know you are dissatisfied! So, take a look, what is this?"
"What?" Fujiwara Tatsuma looked around and saw a Zanpakutō with a crimson handle and a red amaryllis-shaped guard placed on the desk.
"This is my Zanpakutō, and it's called the Scarlet Wanhua." Fujiwara Tatsuma's face showed a smile again, and his tone was full of pride: "And... my spiritual power is actually the sixth level!"
"You——" Fujin Huato was shocked, his dark eyes flashed with a look of shock. He really didn't expect that a young genius who could rival Hitsugaya Toshiro was hiding next to him!!
"Genius...if it is so easy to be surpassed, is it still called a genius?"
"..." Feng Shen Huatou was speechless. He could only watch Fujiwara Tatsuma put the Zanpakutō into his sleeve, and then watch him squeeze out his habitual sneer at him, and he fell into deep thought in his heart:
In the setting of "Bleach", the first step is for the Shinigami to condense the Zanpakutō, followed closely by the Zanpakutō's Haikokaku, and then the Zanpakutō's Swastika!
Once they learn the meaning of swastika, the Shinigami can apply to the Gotei 13th Division to become captain, and the Gotei 13th Division will accept applications and conduct tests regardless of whether there are any vacancies.
There are generally three methods of testing: first, pass the captain exam under the witness of more than three captains including the captain;
Second, be recommended by more than 6 captains and recognized by more than 3 other captains;
Third, cut down the current captain in the presence of 200 players, but this kind of barbaric test is probably the tradition of the 11th Division.
Chapter completed!
