163 Return! Difficult to Cross? The Gap Between Genius and Mortal
"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 Taiyi, who was naturally optimistic, could not help but feel a little discouraged:
It was already the second day of school, but he really didn't expect that Soul Society's Zhenou Spiritual Arts Academy would openly hold a "good and bad class".
The so-called students with good grades are gathered together and trained as elites; while the students with poor grades are gathered together to eat and die, and they probably have no future anyway!
This way!
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 got worse and worse, and those who had studied hard were gradually let go. In the end, all the people in the "bad class" became real "bad students", bearing the title of "garbage class" every day and doing nothing.
Work hard until graduation...
However, Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy's approach is a little more fair. It just puts 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;
Candidates in the third and fourth grades are enrolled in Group 2 of the first year. In the future, they may become deputy captains or chief officers, and at the end of the day, they may 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?
Fuushin Taichi 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 Fujiwara Shinnosuke, the Shiba family was originally one of the five nobles in Soul Society who had sole control of currency issuance!
Due to the long-term jealousy and exclusion from other nobles, coupled with the death of the former captain of the 10th division and the head of the Shiba family, Shiba Kazuo, 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 1 (2), encouraged by Jushiro Saito's almost stubbornness, were greatly affected. Even Taichi Fuugami 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 Shinnosuke, who was sitting next to Fuugami Taichi, 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 Taiyi 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 Shinnosuke glanced at Feng Shen Taichi and said slowly: "What would you think if the results of your hard work for decades or even centuries could be obtained by others overnight?"
"..."
"This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people." Shinnosuke Fujiwara sighed and said, "Is it possible... that change can be achieved through hard work?"
“Efforts may not have much effect, but if you don’t work hard, nothing will happen!”
After Fengshen Taiyi said this, he couldn't help but think of a "hard-working genius" on the crew next door. He had a watermelon head and wore a green tights. What was his name?
"cut!"
Fujiwara Shinnosuke snorted noncommittally, and then continued: "Nobles are born with everything!
And in Rukongai, it takes decades or hundreds of years of hard work to get the chance to live on an equal footing with the 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 sarcasm on Fujiwara Shinnosuke's face became more and more intense. He looked at Fujin Taichi:
"After all, those nobles who are resting on the merits of their ancestors are just some of them... There are also some children of nobles who are also diligent in their studies!!"
"this……"
Fuugami Taichi wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to refute, so he could only remain 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?"
Fuugami Taichi looked around and saw a Zanpakutō with a green handle and a begonia flower-shaped guard placed on the desk by Fujiwara Shinnosuke.
"This is my Zanpakutō, named Yukihime! It's a sword that can freeze the galaxy!"
A smile appeared on Fujiwara Shinnosuke's face again, and his tone was full of pride: "And... my spiritual power is at least the sixth level! I failed during the test!"
"you--"
Feng Shen Taichi was shocked, a look of shock flashed in his dark eyes. He really didn't expect that a genius comparable to Shiba Haiyan would be hiding next to him!!
"So genius...if it is so easy to be surpassed by mortals, is it still called a genius?!"
"Fujiwara, you..."
Fuugami Taichi was speechless and could only watch blankly as Fujiwara Shinnosuke put the Zanpakutō into his sleeve, and then watched him squeeze out his habitual sneer at him, deep in thought:
According to the records in the Corridor of the Daireishu, the first step is for the Shinigami to condense the Zanpakutō, followed by the Zanpakutō's Hakkake, 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!
