Chapter 343 The Illiterate Mr. Who Needs Remedial Education

This was almost a blatant warning; even the slow-witted bird understood what the other party meant.

He sensed the spiritual pressure density of everyone present...

None of them were easy to deal with, and the two from the Zero Division were even more terrifying.

Even if I were stubborn and refused to take on this task, I felt like I had no chance of winning once I started.

Asuka is a rather simple person; she responds better to force than to gentle persuasion.

If Wang Yue continues to offer kind advice like Yizhou Tongsheng, he might not be able to see through it for a while and might think there's some kind of conspiracy involved.

But since the other party had been very open and honest, Asuka accepted it quite quickly.

Yes, the other party is already the captain of the Death Captain, is it necessary for them to go to such great lengths to scheme against me?

Just get started.

"I'm really scared of being scammed..." Asuka sighed to herself.

Moreover, Urahara Kisuke had somehow slipped away to Asuka's side and rear.

He didn't speak, but instead used the folding fan to cover half his face, and under the cover of the fan, he gave Fei Niao a very subtle wink.

The meaning is quite simple—don't do anything foolish.

"Why....

'

He finally sighed helplessly, shrugged as he held the scroll of imperial edict, and said, "Fine, I'll accept it."

"But don't expect too much, I won't take my duty that seriously."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the council chamber eased somewhat.

After all, no one wants a life-or-death struggle to break out here during this turbulent time.

"Very good! A wise man submits to circumstances, boy!" Nimaiya Oetsu snapped his fingers with satisfaction, regaining his carefree demeanor.

Kiryu also smiled kindly and nodded, saying, "Since you agree, then this will be a formal appointment recorded on paper."

"However, as the Spirit King's direct agent, you have an additional task to complete."

"Is there anything else? Please finish your sentence at once..." Asuka's patience was almost exhausted.

"Given that you have almost no knowledge of the laws of Soul Society, and absolutely no basic understanding of the concept of the soul..."

""

Denshu Kiryu announced the final part of the edict: "So that you can better fulfill your duties as a substitute for the Grim Reaper, instead of just destroying things with brute force like a barbarian."

"As per the Spirit King's decree, you must go to the [True Central Spiritual Arts Academy] for a three-month short-term basic training."

"ha?!"

This time, it wasn't just birds.

Even Shiba Kaien, who was standing aside watching the show, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Further education?!" Asuka thought, wondering if she was hearing wrong. "You mean I have to go to school with a bunch of kids who can't even hold a knife properly?!"

Are you kidding me?

Learning to read at Shinobu's private school is one thing, but learning the basics with a bunch of kids is quite another!

"Pfft...cough cough..."

Shinji Hirako couldn't hold it in any longer. He clutched his stomach, desperately trying to suppress his laughter, his shoulders shaking as he said, "Oh dear... going to the Shinigami Academy for classes... hehehehe."

"This student, please make sure you study hard and improve every day!"

Even the usually composed Jushiro Ukitake had a strange look in his eyes at this moment, and he exchanged a puzzled glance with Kyoraku Shunsui while frowning.

"Don't laugh!" Kiryuu glared at Hirako, then looked at Asuka seriously: "This is a necessary procedure."

"Your power is indeed very strong, even to the point of being somewhat beyond the scope of what is possible, but you know almost nothing about this world."

"If you possess great power but don't know when to stop, or what you're protecting, then your power will become a series of disasters."

Wang Yue chimed in, "That's right! If you don't even understand how the knife in your hand works, even if you were given a peerless sword, you could only use it as a fire poker."

"It won't hurt to learn some theory, boy!"

The bird's mouth twitched violently.

He might not have been born to study; even after Shinobu Kocho nearly shredded him with her ruler, he still makes mistakes in writing.

Letting him sit in a classroom listening to those outdated chants... he'd rather go back to another world and have some more fun.

But looking at the uncompromising gazes of these two members of the Zero Division, and feeling the subtle warning spiritual pressure emanating from them...

'

...I studied."

The bird spat out those two words almost through gritted teeth, feeling that all the humiliation he had suffered in his life had come to an end today.

"Very good! Well then, that concludes the arrangements for you."

Denshu Kiryu put away the scroll with satisfaction, stood up and looked around the room: "Captains, the Spirit King's decree has been conveyed."

"Next, please each perform your duties and, under the leadership of Captain Kyoraku, restore order to the Spirit Court as soon as possible."

"The Soul Society will not fall because of a single conspiracy! Best wishes for your continued success! Meeting adjourned!"

With a command given.

This somewhat dramatic yet decisive high-level meeting, which determined the future of Soul Society, has finally come to an end.

The captains bowed to Kiryu Hikifune and Oetsu Nimaiya to take their leave, and then hurriedly returned to their respective squads to deal with the mountain of mess.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi walked the fastest, not even bothering to glance at Kisuke Urahara. His mind was filled with thoughts of getting back to the messed-up Technology Development Bureau and studying the data he had obtained from Aizen.

Soi Fon quickly left with the people from the Stealth Mobile unit.

Her main problem was that she didn't know how to face Yoruichi, and as time went on, she became increasingly confused.

As the council hall gradually emptied out.

Those "non-staff members without a fixed residence" and "released prisoners" naturally gathered together.

"Phew...it's finally over. I haven't had a meeting in ages, my legs feel like they're going to break from standing."

Shiba Kaien stretched out a big yawn, then turned his head to look at Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji, who were gathered together and talking quietly.

"I say to everyone," Haiyan said, flashing her signature hearty smile, "that you have just cleared your names of a century-old injustice, which is a joyous occasion worth celebrating."

"Since you don't even have a place to stay right now, if you don't mind..."

'

He pointed in the direction of Rukongai: "Would you like to visit our Shiba family mansion? Although our mansion is a bit dilapidated now, we can still afford to serve you good food and wine!"

Although the Shiba family's decision to restore the five great noble families has not yet been put on the agenda, their reputation is still quite prestigious.

"Oh? We're going to be guests at the home of a high-ranking nobleman?" Shinji Hirako stroked his chin, then turned to look at Rojuro Ootori and Kensei Rokuguruma behind him. "Sounds like a good pastime, don't you think?"

"As long as there's relaxing music and black tea, I have no objections." Fengqiao elegantly tossed his blond hair.

"Hmm." Kensei pursed his lips, which was taken as an agreement.

Kisuke Urahara, fanning himself with a folding fan, approached with a beaming smile: "Oh dear, it's an honor to have Lord Kaien personally invite us."

"Perfect timing, I also have some things I'd like to discuss with Miss Kukaku."

"Asuka, you should come too!" Kaien put her arm around Asuka's shoulder. "Let's all go and have some fun, and let Soukaku cook you a big meal to calm your nerves!"

Asuka intended to refuse.

All he wanted to do now was return to Shinobu Kocho's side immediately and tell her about his new arrangements.

But before he could speak, the voice of the Sword God rang out from inside the room.

"By the way, Asuka Boy, there's something I wanted to confirm with you."

"May I come in for a moment?"
