Chapter 80 - Promotion Ceremony

“Captain, are we going to the 12th Division today?”

Suzuki Kusu looked at Muyang worriedly. The captain must be feeling very bad right now. They had known each other for more than a hundred years. Captain Kirio Hikifune, who was as close as a family to the captain, had been promoted. The captain must be very upset now. Suzuki Kusu could clearly feel the sadness in the captain’s heart at this moment.

“Of course I have to go.” Muyang tried to make his voice sound pleasant, “Sister Hikifune is being promoted and will leave Seireitei, and I have to go and see her. Hiyori must feel even worse. If I don’t go to see her, I don’t know where she will vent her anger.”

Looking at the smile on Muyang’s face, Suzuki Kusu smiled slightly. The captain was always like this. No matter what kind of difficulties he faced, he would always smile like this. It was also because of this that she was so attached to the captain. She always felt that no matter what happened, as long as she stayed by the captain’s side, she should not be afraid of anything. Everything would eventually be alright.

“Let’s go and see Hiyori.” Muyang waved to Suzuki Kusu, and then the two of them walked to the 12th Division together.

“By the way, Kusu, how is your Bankai training?” On the way, Muyang suddenly remembered the matter of teaching Suzuki Kusu Bankai last time and asked casually.

“Bankai?” Suzuki Kusu’s feet paused slightly, and her face revealed a trace of an imperceptible struggle. However, Muyang had his back to her and did not see it. “I don’t have any clues for the time being.”

“Is that so…” Hearing Suzuki Kusu’s answer, Muyang nodded and stopped talking. It was not a simple thing to learn Bankai. Although he had his own teachings, it was not possible to let Suzuki Kusu learn Bankai in a short time.

Muyang thought in his heart and did not say anything. He did not want Suzuki Kusu to feel pressured, but Muyang, who had his back to Suzuki Kusu, did not notice the hesitation and struggle in Suzuki Kusu’s eyes.

Bankai? What would my bankai looks like…

Suzuki Kusu thought in her heart, and her face could not help but show some worry.

“Kusu! Kusu!”

“Huh?” Suzuki Kusu was awakened from her deep thoughts. She saw Hiyori put her face in front of her face with her big eyes.

“Aw!” Suzuki Kusu subconsciously took two steps back. She patted her chest and said angrily, “What are you doing, Hiyori?”

“There’s something strange!” Hiyori pinched her chin with one hand and circled around Suzuki Kusu. As she circled around, she looked at Suzuki Kusu up and down, her mouth letting out a ‘tsk tsk’ sound.

“What is strange?” Seeing Hiyori looking at her like this, Suzuki Kusu could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. “What are you looking at, Hiyori?”

“Of course it’s because you are strange.” Hiyori stopped and stared at Suzuki Kusu, “Tell me honestly, Kusu, what were you thinking just now? I called you for a long time before you reacted.”

“What am I thinking about?” Only then did Suzuki Kusu realize that she had been lost in her thoughts. Even the captain and Hiyori did not react when they called her. However, she soon adjusted herself and stepped forward to hold Hiyori’s hand. “Alright, Hiyori, stop thinking nonsense. You should hurry up and go with us. Today is the promotion ceremony for the new captain of your 12th Division.”

“Tsk!” Hearing the new captain of 12th Division mentioned by Suzuki Kusu, Hiyori’s face flashed with a trace of indignation, “Who wants that kind of person who came from nowhere to be our captain. That kind of guy, I won’t admit him as our captain.”

“Well, well, Hiyori, don’t complain, that is the choice of Sister Hikifune. We just want to wish her a good life over there.” Muyang came forward and patted Hiyori on the shoulder and comforted.

“Well, even if you say so, I will not easily admit the new guy. If you want to be the captain of our 12th Division, you have to pass me first.”

“Well, I know you are the best.” Muyang said a few perfunctory words, and then took Hiyori and Suzuki Kusu to the direction of the 1st Division.

“Hey, Kimura, you are a captain. You should know who the new captain is.” After a while, Hiyori could not help but take a step forward and put his shoulder on Muyang, asking curiously.

“Yes, of course I know who the new captain is.” Hearing Hiyori’s question, Muyang said with a smile.

“How is it? How is it?” Hiyori immediately jumped in front of Muyang, looked at him and asked, “Who is the new guy? What kind of guy is he?”

“Won’t you about to know soon?”

“Kimura!” Hiyori looked at Muyang with dissatisfaction.

“Alright, alright.” Seeing Hiyori’s dissatisfied expression, Muyang shook his hand helplessly. “I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but you insisted on asking. However, it would be boring if I said it out loud. Let me give you a hint.”

“This person is someone you know as well.”

“And then?”

“That’s it.”

“What kind of hint is this?” Hiyori jumped up and shouted.

“Don’t get excited!” Muyang pressed down on Hiyori, who was jumping up. “Among the people you know, there are only a few people who might become the captain. Why don’t you slowly guess it yourself?”

“Hmph!” Hiyori shook off the hand that Muyang pressed on her head.

“Among the people I know, first of all, it can’t be someone from our original 12th Division, and then the person who might become the captain among the people I know… Could it be that Lisa has learned it? Bankai?” Thinking of this, Hiyori couldn’t help but turn to look at Suzuki Kusu who was following behind Muyang. I heard that Kusu has been practicing Bankai? but it shouldn’t be her. I heard from Kimura that she only started learning last year. Bankai, how could she learn it so quickly? And if it is really her, she should have told me long ago.

“Could it be Lisa?” Lisa’s face flashed in Hiyori’s mind again, that pervert knew how to use Bankai? Thinking about how Lisa was wearing their 12th Division captain haori, Hiyori couldn’t help but shake her head and drive that image out of her mind. It was too terrifying. If that pervert became the captain of their 12th Division.

Could it be…? The face of Aranmaru Shishin suddenly flashed through Hiyori’s mind. It couldn’t be that guy, could it? However, it seemed that he was the only one among the people he knew who had the strength. However, wasn’t that guy teaching in Shin’ō? How could he think of becoming the captain of Gotei13?

At this time, Hiyori had already determined that Aranmaru Shishin had come to 12th Division to become the new captain. She didn’t have much dissatisfaction in her heart. She also knew about his strength. Now, Hiyori was thinking about how to deal with him.

“Well, let’s go in.” Coming to the 1st Division building, seeing the door open, Muyang said to Hiyori behind him, and then the three people walked inside together.

“Yo, Shinji, you are already here.” Seeing Hirako Shinji who was talking to Love over there, Muyang greeted him from afar.

“What? It’s Kimura and Kusu.” Hirako Shinji turned his head and looked at the three people, “And Hiyori is also here.”

“What, you bald Shinji? what do you mean by that? What do you mean by I am also here!” Hearing that Hirako Shinji’s tone was very perfunctory when he mentioned herself, Hiyori immediately pulled up her sleeves and pretended to hit him.

“Stop, Hiyori.” Muyang took Hiyori’s clothes and then said to Hirako Shinji: “What were you talking about just now?”

“It’s nothing, I’m just talking about the current captain of the 11th Division.” Hirako Shinji curled his lips and looked very disdainful. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the captain of 11th Division. “I don’t care what that guy is. The tenth generation of Kenpachi or something, but letting that kind of guy be the captain is really uncomfortable. Why does that kind of idiot become the captain?”

“Kenpachi…” Muyang slightly paused, and the face of Zaraki Kenpachi unconsciously appeared in his mind. His heart suddenly moved, and a thought could not be stopped in his mind.

“No way, this is tradition. The captain of 11th Division will be held by Kenpachi. If it is really wrong, it should be blamed on the last generation of Kenpachi who lost to him.”

“Yeah, that guy is too useless. I feel embarrassed for him.” Hirako Shinji stretched and said carelessly.

“What, it is not good to talk bad about others behind their backs.”

Hearing the sudden voice, several people turned their heads and looked at Kyouraku Shunsui, Jūshirō Ukitake and Lisa.

“Strange, you are so early today, Mr. Shunshui.” Love looked at the three people walking over and said strangely.

“What are you talking about? I’ve always been the first to arrive.” Kyouraku Shunsui said with a smile as he adjusted his bamboo hat.

Hearing Kyouraku Shunsui’s words, Muyang and the others could not help but have black lines on their heads.

Muyang turned his gaze to Lisa, and sure enough, he saw Lisa take a step forward and push his glasses. “Today, I kicked his butt to wake him up.”

“Don’t tell the other captains about my embarrassing things.” Seeing Lisa expose her own shortcomings in front of everyone like this, Kyouraku Shunsui couldn’t hold his face anymore and lowered his head to whisper to Lisa.

“Haha, you don’t have to hide it. Anyway, everyone knows it, Kyouraku.” Seeing Kyouraku Shunsui lowering his head to complain to Lisa, Muyang laughed and said.
