Declaration of war

I could not hide my surprise because the person I saw in front of me was not the Captain. She must have been surprised as she was looking at me with her eyebrows raised.

"You?"

I was about to speak when Captain Marahiba suddenly appeared behind the girl.

"Ohh, how nice to see you here Miyahara-chan."

"Captain, what is this boy doing here?"

"Why are you so surprised. We were just having a little chat."

"Captain, this is not the time to joke. Didn't this boy kill a Shinigami?"

"Calm down, calm down Miyahara-chan. It doesn't suit you to be angry. Besides, you get the news late. This boy will be a student of the Shinigami academy from today."

"Wh-What?! how?"

"Let me explain. The information we got is completely wrong. So this kid is innocent. You just need to know these things.

I was not involved in the conversation between the two.

I'm sure that girl is the person I saw that day, but she's acting like someone else entirely. Anyway, I don't care who she is anyway.

What I am really surprised is, can I enter the place called Shinigami academy so easily?

I wonder what the captain did for this.

"Ohh, I see your uniform fits perfectly. You looked very serious while you were training so I left it with you and I was minding my own business."

"Yeah, it was fine."

"If you're ready to go, can I take you to the academy?"

"What do you mean, captain? Why do you have to go with an ordinary student? You can appoint any shinigami to do this."

"Miyahara-chan, I had a word that Okino-san was looking for you."

"Are you serious?!"

After Miyahara ran out of the room, Captain Marahiba smiled broadly.

"Shall we continue too?"

Judging by Miyahara's reaction, it was clear that normal captains were not like Captain Marahiba. Then I don't understand what exactly is Captain Marahiba's feature here.

Our journey with the captain continued, as I was going towards the Academy, the captain was telling me some information I needed to keep in mind.

"Today, 15 new students are joining with you. Don't forget to show them all how strong you are."

He still looked in his usual sarcastic form.

When we entered the academy, everyone around us was looking at us. I could hear some whispering.

"İs he really the disciple the Captain recommended?"

Whaat?!

Recommended student?

I don't know what this guy is up to, but I'm sure I know a lot less than anyone here and now he's throwing me in front of everyone like a victim.

I looked at the captain's face from time to time. As if he had no sense of guilt, he was looking at the schoolgirls at the Academy who were looking at us and sending greetings.

"Aah, I would love to stay longer, but I have to leave you here, Jin-kun. This is the meeting place for new students. Soon, new students will start to gather as well."

After leaving me, I could feel the dominant gaze of people for a while. Jealousy, grudge. They were all together.

After another 5 minutes, other students started to arrive. After all 15 people had gathered, someone wearing a Shinigami uniform came up to us and started talking.

"Welcome all, from today you will be subjected to hard work. You better prepare yourself. Today you will get to know the academy and understand the lessons, from tomorrow the hands-on classes will begin. Don't even think about being late."

This person went straight to the point without even introducing himself. Then everyone started to follow him. He gave us a tour of the academy first. Then he showed us the rooms we will stay in.

After walking around the academy all day, the bottoms of my feet were starting to hurt and I was tired. We were allowed to return to our rooms, and without waiting I returned to my room immediately.

Captain Marahiba told me to repeat my focus training every night before I go to sleep. As he said, I sat on the tatami and started to focus.

I started to transform the energy circulating around my own body back into a ball. While I was doing this, I could easily see the presence of everyone close to me.

Someone doing kinky things in their room?

I want to pretend I didn't see this.

After completing my focus training, I felt more tired. After blowing out the candle on the table, I went to sleep in my sleeping bag.

When I fell asleep, I began to have the dream I had when I first took Zanpaktou.

But this time there was a change. The fog cloud around was a little flatter, and the ground I stepped on was full of grass.

"So you noticed right away."

"What happened here?"

"As you developed, your inner world began to form. The more you continue to evolve, the easier it will be for you to hear my name."

Light winds began to hit my body. Then the winds started to get stronger, a little stronger and finally strong enough to push me back completely.

When I lost my balance and started to fall, my eyes opened on their own.

I don't know what time it is, but I must not be late for my first lesson on the first day. So as soon as I put on the uniform, I left the room and came to the front of the main garden, as they had said last night.

Almost everyone seemed to have gathered in the main garden. It means I arrived just in time.

While some are still wandering alone. Some were talking and chatting as a group.

After everything I've been through, I started having trust issues. So I had no intention of speaking to anyone of my own free will.

Shortly after I waited in a corner of the garden with my wooden sword, our instructor arrived.

"Welcome all of you, I am your instructor who will train you from today until you graduate. My name is Uyeda Tamotsu. If you have any problems, feel free to ask."

He seemed like a kind instructor.

Our first lesson was a lesson they called Hadō. As if I wasn't the only one who didn't understand the purpose of the lesson. Everyone was looking at the instructor with confused expressions.

The trainer should have been aware that we didn't know, because a smiling face started to tell us all.

"Hado is basically a Kidō, a form of Shinigami martial arts. Hadō is an Attack-type Kidō. I guess I'd better explain it practically."

Then the instructor extended the index finger of his right hand to the big tree behind us.

"Hadō 1 Shō."

After saying his words, a white light came out from the tip of his index finger and hit the tree like a bullet.

As soon as it hit the tree, smoke rose from the bark of the tree, and then the smoke disappeared.

Everyone was stunned, including all the students and me. This is the first time I've seen something like this done.

"Our lesson today will be to learn Hadō 1 Shō at the end of the day. Don't worry guys, I believe you all will succeed."

After a short while, everyone was lined up side by side in one line. Everyone had a shooting board in front of them.

Indeed, what I saw was a beautiful sight. I don't know how you did it, but I believe I can do it.

I aligned my index finger on the shooting board and began to speak the words.

"Hadō 1 Shō"

After my words, a huge explosion sounded in the distance. The explosion was so violent that the ground shook for a few seconds.

Immediately after, the bells in the towers began to chime.

"Emergency...! Emergency...! A big hole has formed in the vicinity of the 3rd team and unidentified assailants have entered. All captains and lieutenants must meet at the main headquarters."

The emergency announcement was repeated for a while.

Our instructor also looked worried. He started biting his lips.

"Students, all go back to your rooms. That's enough training for today."

Everyone dispersed running. The instructor was standing where he was and I was waiting in front of him.

"Student Jin. Go to your room immediately, it's not clear when danger will come here."

"Sorry."

I was the last student to leave the garden. I ran to my room as the teacher said.

I could barely hear the echoing swords and screams as I made my way to my room.

It was clear that this was clearly a war.
