Chapter 010: Meeting Aizen Again

The Gotei 13 have their own responsibilities, just like the Fourth Division is the well-known medical team, the Eighth Division is the intelligence team, and the Thirteenth Division is the purification team, which is specially dispatched to the present world to carry out the soul burial and purification jobs, most of the team members are sent to the present world to perform duties and fight against hollows for many years.

The reason why Shunsui can convince Mazuru that day, apart from the fact that Jushiro, the captain of the Thirteenth Division, is a good person, is that the Thirteenth Division members can go to the present world.

Even though the current world is in the feudal era, it is very boring, but it is the world of the living after all, and to Mazuru, it still has an unusual attraction.

It's a pity that because he just joined the Thirteenth Division, even if he had a good evaluation during Shinō's study, and even awakened Zanpakuto, as the captain, Jushiro has no plans to send Mazuru to the present world immediately.

Mazuru can only continue to hone his skills of Zanjutsu, White hits, Kidō and Shunpo every day in the team building of the Thirteenth Division.

Of course, it's not like putting all your energy into training.

Shunsui and Jushiro have been friends for many years. Thanks to this, the relationship between the members of the Eighth and Thirteenth divisions is also very good, and occasionally they will have some interactions.

Nanao has joined the Eighth Division not long ago. Although she is the youngest, many members of the team take good care of her, but she has not forgotten Mazuru, her friend from the Shinō Academy.

Occasionally, when she finds some new books, she will make an appointment with Mazuru to read them together.

For Nanao, books have an unusual meaning in her life. Inviting Mazuru to read books together is actually sharing that joy with him.

On this day too, the two of them read the book together.

Walking hand in hand among the streets of Seireitei, ready to return to their respective teams.

On the way, a gentle man with black-rimmed glasses and slightly messy brown hair came into their view.

Seeing this figure coming towards her and the other, Nanao was stunned for a while, and when the other party approached, she still greeted the other party, "Vice-captain Aizen."

The man paused, glanced at Nanao and Mazuru, and showed a gentle smile on his face, "It's Ise from Eighth Division and Kyo Mazuru from Thirteenth Division."

His eyes glanced at the two of them playfully, "I heard that the two of you had a very good relationship when you were at the Shinō Academy, but I didn't know that after joining the Gotei 13, the relationship is still the same as before. It seems that you are just returning together. Is the party over?"

Nanao didn't know what she thought of, a blush appeared on her small face.

Mazuru's expression remained the same, and he said calmly, "I haven't seen Nanao for a long time, so we met just to catch up on the past."

As soon as Nanao's slightly intimate title came out, Nanao's face became even redder.

(T.L. Note: Calling directly by first name between opposite genders can be regarded as intimate)

Aizen looked at Mazuru with a look of understanding, and didn't say much, just kept a faint smile on his face.

Mazuru continued, "However, I never thought that Vice-captain Aizen would know me, an ordinary Shinigami who is not even a seated official."

Aizen said with a smile, "Mazuru, you are too modest. Not everyone can have sixth-level spiritual power when they first enter Shinō. Although you did not skip a grade during your studies, your grades in each grade are among the best... "

After complimenting Mazuru, Aizen changed his tone and said: "As far as I know, after the former Vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division died in the line of duty, the position of Vice-captain has been vacant for a long time."

"With Mazuru's qualifications, I'm afraid it won't take many years before you can become the Vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division, and you might be on the same level as me."

"Vice-captain Aizen is flattering me. I don't even have a seat at the moment. The position of Vice-captain is too far away from me." Mazuru said calmly.

Aizen smiled without saying a word, and without saying anything more, he walked away from Nanao and Mazuru.

After Aizen left, Nanao couldn't help but look at Mazuru.

"What's wrong?"

Mazuru was a little puzzled, there was nothing dirty on his face either!

"I just didn't expect that Vice-captain would have such a high evaluation of you." Nanao said bluntly.

"But then again, Vice-captain Aizen seems like a nice and easy-going guy, just like Captain Jushiro."

Speaking of this, Nanao inevitably thought of her own captain. Although she has a lot of respect for Kyoraku Shunsui, but the captain can be so out of character sometimes.

It's no wonder that Vice-captain Yadomaru, who is such a good person, always keeps a cold face when facing the captain.

He's not in poor health like Captain Jushiro. He's obviously healthy, but he always uses the excuse of being unwell , leaving the team affairs to the vice-captain and secretly went to drink.

The encounter with Aizen seems to be just an accident. This is Seireitei, the area where shinigami and nobles live, and the Gotei 13 Division is located in it. Here, meeting shinigami is a common thing. The captain and vice-captain are not exceptions either.

Mazuru and Nanao returned to their respective team buildings.

In the quiet team building, Mazuru was alone, he suddenly pulled out the Zanpakuto.

"Eternal sinking, trapped in a thousand catastrophes! - Nezā Chi no Kawa!"

(T.L Note: It was 'Nether Blood River' in the original novel which I just translated to japanese 'Nezā Chi no Kawa')

In Shinō Academy, when he liberated Zanpakuto, the liberation language he read was "Sink! Chi no Kawa", but in fact, that was only half Shikai of his Zanpakuto, which he learned from Ayasegawa Yumichika in the original book , deliberately mispronouncing or omitting a part of Zanpakuto's name, and only liberating half of its ability to achieve half Shikai, thereby hiding Zanpakuto's true ability.

In order to achieve this step, Mazuru suffered a lot.

His Zanpakuto has a really bad character.

It took him a long time to get the other party's real name in the first place, thus completing Shikai.

As a result, deliberately mispronouncing the liberation language and calling the incomplete name of the other party will inevitably make Zanpakuto a little unhappy. After Mazuru awakened Zanpakuto, it took more than a year to barely achieve half Shikai.

At this moment, he liberated Zanpakuto in the unmanned team building, and the blood-red light permeated the air, turning into strands of tiny silk threads, which instantly wrapped around his body. At the same time, his consciousness immediately entered the world where his Zanpakuto resides.

The big river seemed extremely calm, and the graceful figure standing on the other side of the river was now standing in the middle of the river.

"Let's start."

She spoke indifferently to Mazuru.

Mazuru didn't say any nonsense. When he raised his hand, a long sword with a red body similar to the sealed state appeared in his hand, and an identical sword also appeared in the hand of the graceful figure opposite to him.

Afterwards, the two figures moved at the same time, and a...fight began there!
