The so-called dangerous balance is a balance that can be broken at any time. When either party is completely sure of breaking it, it will attack.
Obviously, Ji Xing is still at a deep disadvantage.
Because even if he masters Hollow, there is still a dimensional gap in strength between him and Aizen!
Fortunately, this success seems to have really made Aizen not plan to do anything else in a short period of time. It may also have stimulated Aizen's "desire to develop" his opponents. Ji Xing spent a stable time.
Two major events happened one after another in the Seireitei. One was that the old captain of the third division retired and Hobashiro Juro took over.
Second, the captain of the 10th Division died in the line of duty!
This suddenly reminded Ji Xing that the person who died in the line of duty this year was not the captain of the 10th Division, but the captain of the 10th Division. Kenpachi Zaraki took office earlier, and Kiiganjou was the captain of the 10th Division. The fat man Kenpachi also died earlier.
Then there are some tidbits of news.
For example, Ji Xing, the third seat of the 12th Division, acted like the third seat of the 11th Division. After discussing with Kenpachi Zaraki and the captain and deputy captain of the 5th Division, he went to the 7th and 9th Divisions one after another, and Ji Xing He won all three matches, with Aizen losing the worst, while Zaraki Kenpachi only lost to Hirako Mako.
Another example is Ichimaru Gin from the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy who is gradually rising to prominence. His performance is not as exaggerated as Ji Xing's, but after a few months of enrollment, the teachers are equally unable to teach him, and it is very likely that he will graduate directly at the end of one year.
This kind of talent was originally very eye-catching, but in a short time only the captain and deputy captains would know about it, but first it was Ji Xing and then him. Rukongai successively produced geniuses. It was naturally different. Ichimaru Gin's name was also spread to the ears of most Shinigami. inside.
called "Ono Masashi".
Although his soul age is much older than Ji Xing's.
Ji Xing has no time to get to know him at the moment, and he doesn't want to easily irritate Aizen's nerves anymore.
Half a year has passed, and Ji Xing has fully integrated into the identity of the third seat of the 12th Division. He is either completing the work of the third seat or practicing. During this period, he also went to the real world and took care of two large Hollows.
At the same time, the reputation of "the most powerful genius in the millennium" continues to grow, and with the news of defeating three vice-captains, Ji Xing's star is growing every day, gradually lighting up the fourth star!
As of this time, it has only been a year and ten months since he invaded the world of Death. This is the fastest time he has collected starlight and lit up four stars.
As the gears of time turn, some of the stories in the plot are about to happen.
…
“Captain, are you looking for me?”
“Koyono, sit down.” Hikifune Kiryu was still so enthusiastic when he saw Ji Xing.
Although Ji Xing has not seen her much since joining the team. But during this meeting, Hikifune Kiryu's perfect figure was obviously a little bloated and began to accumulate fat for better essence cooking, which also made Ji Xing guess the reason why she was looking for him.
"I'm leaving." Sure enough, she said to Ji Xing: "Leave Division 12."
“...Leave? Where are you going?”
With Ji Xing’s prepared cooperation, Hikifune Kiryu explained that he had accomplished the research and development of the essence of cooking and was about to be promoted to the Zero Division.
Team Zero's information is considered confidential, but when it comes to contact, it is not impossible for someone with Ji Xing's status to know about it, and Hikifune Kiryuu did not hide it from him.
“There is actually a Zero Division above the Gotei Thirteenth Division... Well, congratulations on your promotion, but after you leave, what will our 12th Division do?”
“What a cold reaction, I thought Xiaoyono would burst into tears to try to persuade me to stay.”
Hikifune Kiryu looked disappointed. Seeing that Ji Xing had no reaction, he said boringly: "The next arrangements for the 12th Division will of course be decided by the captain.
But it doesn’t work. They have urged me several times to stay for another half month at most. So now, the position of captain of the 12th division will probably be replaced by members of other divisions. "
She looked at Ji Xing and said: "While the captain position is vacant, Team 12 will be temporarily managed by you, Koyono. Although you are still young, judging from the six months since you joined the team, you have matured differently from your age. I I feel at ease with you." "Compared to that... I'm more worried about Hiyori's child. She has been following me since she was a child, and it's been almost two hundred years since she was a child." Kiryu Hikifune said with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid she won't be able to accept my promotion. Regarding leaving, I am also worried that she will conflict with the new captain of the 12th division."
Ji Xing said clearly: "I understand, I will persuade Vice Captain Hiyori."
Hikifune Kiryu smiled happily, pulled Ji Xing into his arms, and kissed his face: "Yono-chan is really sensible. With your words, I can feel more at ease... Well, go and help me." Hiyori calls over so I can talk to her.”
…
Ji Xing left and Riyori came soon.
Compared to Ji Xing, Hiyori has been staying at Hikifune Kiryu's house for almost two hours.
The night was deep. Ji Xing, who had known that Hiyori would come, was sitting on the roof of his house waiting for her. As expected, she appeared in a flash and raised her leg to kick Ji Xing.
The kick stopped midway. She paused for a few seconds, folded her legs and sat down, hugged her knees with her hands, and hummed: "Hey, you are the captain's deputy immediately. How can I be rude to the captain?"
"Captain Hirako, you are not polite, and the Gotei 13 does not have the position of acting captain." Ji Xing looked at her with red and swollen eyes, and said jokingly: "Vice Captain Hiyori, are you crying?"
"...Idiot?!" Hiyori yelled in embarrassment, and soon her expression became depressed again. She was silent for a while and said hoarsely: "Hey, Yono."
"What's up?"
"How could such a thing happen... I would not agree with anyone other than Captain Kiryu, but if it were you..." Hiyori clenched her fists and said, "Although I really don't want to admit it, you bald guy does have talents that far exceed mine. So I can understand why Sister Kiryu asked you, the third seat, to temporarily take charge of the 12th Division.
Then keep on doing it until you master the **** and truly be promoted to captain! "
"Of course, I will not relax. If I master the **** one step earlier than you, then I will take the position of captain!"
She stared at Ji Xing and said: "If the captain appoints an inexplicable guy to be the captain of our 12th division, let's oppose it together!"
Ji Xing stood up after hearing the words and made a gesture to leave.
Hiyori was startled: "...Where are you going?"
“While Captain Yifune is still here, let her persuade our crazy vice-captain.”
"…are you an idiot?!"
"Yes, are you an idiot? Opposing the commander's order? Who are we? Is that something we can object to?" Ji Xing asked.
Hiyori paused for a moment and said in confusion: "Then what do you think we should do? Can we just let an outsider take over Sister Kiryu's position?!"
"There are many ways. Head-on confrontation is the stupidest choice." Ji Xing said with a smile: "We can squeeze him out secretly, obey his orders in secret, ignore him, treat him as nothing, be cold and violent, and Vice Captain Hiyori will be fine. Wouldn’t it be better if we beat him head-on a few times and teach him a lesson so that he can’t stay any longer and resign on his own initiative?”
Hiyori was silent for a moment.
It has to be you.
But isn’t this a bit much?
…Okay, let’s do it!”
Not far away, Hikifune Kiryu looked at the two of them with a somewhat reassuring smile on his face.
Half a month later, she used up all her spiritual energy and the fat she had accumulated recently to prepare an advanced version of the essence dish for Ji Xing and Hiyori alone.
After that, he left the Gotei 13.
