Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

“Pa —” Suzuki Kusu closed her room door and looked at the glimmer of light on the horizon. Then she walked to the training ground of their 10th Division. Although she was now a Vice-Captain, Suzuki Kusu had never relaxed her training. Her goal had never been a Vice-Captain or Captain. She only had one goal, and that was to follow Captain all the time. If she wanted to follow Captain, powerful strength was the foundation.

“Good morning, Vice-Captain.”

“Good morning.”

She greeted the passing team members one by one. This was something that Suzuki Kusu had to do every day. The team members were also used to their vice captain coming to the training field early every morning to practice. For hundreds of years, it was like this everyday, never stopping. So they all had deep respect for Suzuki Kusu.

“Vice captain, it’s captain, he…”

“Captain?” Suzuki Kusu was stunned. She unconsciously recalled the lonely back of Muyang last night. A trace of haze flashed in her heart. Captain, what exactly is hidden in your heart? Why is it buried alone in your heart? She was already so close to the captain. She clearly thought that she had walked into the captain’s heart. But why did the closer she got, the more she felt the gap between the two of them?

“Vice captain?”

“Huh?” Suzuki Kusu woke up from her thoughts and glanced at the team members in front of her. “Tell me, what happened to the captain?”

“Ah? Oh!” The team member looked at Suzuki Kusu suspiciously and replied, “Captain, Captain came to the training field early in the morning before dawn.”

“Nani?” Hearing the team member’s words, Suzuki Kusu widened her eyes in disbelief. The captain had come to the training ground so early? Suzuki Kusu subconsciously looked at the ray of sunlight that appeared on the horizon. “Is it really the captain? Are you sure?”

Although she knew that the team members could not be wrong about Muyang, Suzuki Kusu still could not help but ask. After all, this kind of news was really too strange.

“Of course I am not wrong.” The team member nodded and answered with certainty. Then, he revealed a puzzled expression. “At first, we did not dare to believe it either. But later, the captain greeted us and taught us some small skills in the battle. Only then did we believe that this is our captain.”

“But knowing that it was our captain made us even more confused. After all, since I joined the team, I have never seen the captain get up so early in the past few decades. Every time, you have to call the vice-captain after you finish your practice. The captain will get up, but today…”

“Cough! Cough!”

When the team member heard Suzuki Kusu’s cough, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much. As a team member, it was a great disrespect to talk about the captain behind his back.

“Well, you can leave.” Suzuki Kusu glanced at the team member and felt the gratitude in her eyes. She smiled and said, “Do your job well.”

Although she heard his team member say it in a good way, Suzuki Kusu still had some doubts in his heart. The captain actually got up so early? She had been a vice captain for so many years, but he had never seen the captain get up so early!

“Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!”

“Do you not dare to attack? Use your sword and attack with the intent to kill me. Anyway, you can’t hurt me with your strength. Don’t show mercy.”

Just as she walked out of the training field, Suzuki Kusu heard the sound of swords clashing in the training field.

There was also the sound of Muyang talking to the team members.

It really was the captain

Hearing the familiar voice of Muyang and Reiryoku coming from the air, Suzuki Kusu finally believed the words of the team member just now. However, she could not hide the surprise in her heart. What was going on with the captain?

“Oh, you’re here too, Kusu.”

Muyang turned to look at Suzuki Kusu, who had come to the training field, and said with a smile.

The captain, he…

Suzuki Kusu looked at the smile on Muyang’s face and smiled. “Yes, but I didn’t expect you to come to the training field so early.”

Feeling the ease and joy that Muyang emitted from the inside, Suzuki Kusu could not help but feel relaxed. Although she did not know what the captain was thinking in the end, as long as the captain showed such a smile on his face again, it was enough.

“Haha, I haven’t moved for a long time. I feel like my whole body is going to rust. Sure enough, it is better to move more.” Muyang shook his head and said.

“Yes.” Suzuki Kusu nodded in agreement. “It has been a long time since I’ve seen the captain train. However, it’s rare for the captain to be so interested today.”

Suzuki Kusu pulled out Zanpakuto from her waist and faced Muyang with a sword in both hands. “Let me accompany the captain. I also ask the captain to train my skills.”

“Oh?” Muyang raised his eyebrows. “Kusu, you are in a good mood today. Since you said so, I will exchange a few moves with you. Let me see how your skills are.”

“Look, the captain and the vice captain are going to fight!”

“What? The captain and the vice captain?”

“Really?”

“Captain, didn’t you wake up very late in the morning? Why are you in the training field now?”

“Don’t ask nonsense. Hurry up and go. If you are late, you won’t be able to see it!”

…

“Catch it, Kumozi.”

The battle had not yet begun, but Suzuki Kusu had decisively released her Zanpakuto. If she did not release her Zanpakuto, it would be meaningless to fight with the captain. Even if she released her Zanpakuto, she would not have any chance of winning against the captain. However, this way, she might be able to fight a bit more.

“A very wise decision.” Seeing that Suzuki Kusu had directly released her Zanpakuto, Muyang praised her. To be able to understand the gap between her and her opponent correctly and bring out all her strength from the beginning, Suzuki Kusu’s judgment was very correct. If she did not release her Zanpakuto for the sake of her pride or whatnot, then she had lost this battle from the beginning.

“But…”

Muyang held the sword with one hand and swung it in the air. He lifted his foot and walked toward Suzuki Kusu. After taking two steps, his foot suddenly flashed. The next step was directly in front of Suzuki Kusu. The Zanpakuto in his hand slashed at Suzuki Kusu’s waist at a tricky angle.

“So fast!” Seeing Muyang appear in front of Suzuki Kusu in a flash, the onlookers thought at the same time that they did not even see Muyang’s footsteps clearly just now. In just an instant, Muyang had already slashed at Suzuki Kusu.

“Dang —”

Although the speed of Muyang’s attack was extremely fast and the angle was tricky, the Zanpakuto in Suzuki Kusu’s hand met Muyang’s Zanpakuto at an incredible angle.

“Oh?” A trace of surprise flashed through Muyang’s eyes. Although he knew that this level of attack would not be able to defeat Suzuki Kusu, he still could not help but be surprised to be blocked so easily by Suzuki Kusu.

“The vice-captain is so powerful!” “We couldn’t even see the captain’s attack just now. The vice-captain actually blocked it so easily!”

“Captain, you shouldn’t be surprised, right?” Seeing the surprise in Muyang’s eyes, Suzuki Kusu said with a smile, “Captain, don’t you know my ability?”

Hearing Suzuki Kusu’s words, Muyang suddenly understood. He almost forgot Kusu’s Zanpakuto ability. Sure enough, it had been too long since he had fought.

Kumozi, turning your Reiryoku into something like a spider thread around your body. Use a specific method to feel all the wind and grass around you. You can even predict the next move of your opponent.

Muyang recalled the ability of Kumozi that Suzuki Kusu had explained to him before. He still remembered that he was still thinking about whether this move could crack Aizen’s Kyōka Suigetsu. He did not expect that he had forgotten such important information in the battle. It seemed that he had really regressed a lot.

Muyang could not help but recall the scene of being abused by Kaze no Sora in his inner world yesterday. He suddenly felt nervous. In a few years, it would be the Hollowfication event. No matter what he had to do at that time, strength was always the foundation. With his current situation, even if he wanted to do something, could he really do it?

A sudden sense of vigilance arose in his heart. Muyang suddenly turned his head and dodged the sword that Suzuki Kusu stabbed at him.

“You are distracted, Captain.”

“You are really merciless, Kusu.”

“Captain, you must be joking. I can’t show any mercy when fighting with you.”

“Alright, then let me test your strength.” Muyang tapped his feet, creating a gap between him and Suzuki Kusu.

I’ll think about that problem later. Anyway, I have to think of a good way to recover my state. It’s more important to test Kusu’s strength now. I haven’t fought for many years. Let me see what level you have reached now.
