The main reason is that there are often Grim Reapers around Runlin'an. He has seen many Grim Reapers who are high and mighty and disdainful of wandering souls, or who directly ignore ordinary civilians.
All of this made him dislike the Grim Reaper.
"Death is for later."
Just as Toshiro was speaking, an astonishing pressure rolled down from all around.
With his pupils dilated, Toshiro lost his balance and was completely knocked to the ground. Next to him, Momo Hinamori was even more disheveled, supporting herself on all fours, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Yes, what?"
Gritting his teeth, Toshiro forced himself to lift his head, and his expression changed drastically as he looked at the approaching shadow.
"Xu!"
"Haha, these two souls look incredibly delicious, much more tempting than the others, and they seem to have great potential."
"If I eat it, it might evolve into a Hollow."
A hideous creature wearing a bone mask was staring at the two with a savage laugh, its eyes filled with greed.
There are more Hollows below the level of Grand Hollow, and their strength varies greatly.
The weaker ones might be taken down by a single Grim Reaper student, while the stronger ones could even cause a high-ranking officer of considerable strength to be defeated by accident.
However, there is no doubt that even the brainless Gillian would need at least the strength of a vice-captain to deal with a Hollow who has reached the level of a Great Hollow.
There are several common ways to become a Great Void.
The first type consists of those who possessed exceptional talent in life but became Hollows after falling into depravity.
This type is extremely rare, but its advantage is that it does not forget its memories from its previous life, or it recovers its memories very quickly.
Notable figures include Koyatai Stark and Szayelaporro.
The second type is the long-nosed Gillian, born from the mutual devouring and fusion of hundreds of Hollows, leading to personality chaos.
These Gillians have almost no intelligence and no memory. Only a very few of them can devour their own kind without ever being injured in their mindless state, until they reach an evolutionary critical point and are reborn with a completely new personality.
A representative figure is Wonderwiz.
Note: This is a guess. Wonderwiss's low intelligence may be because he was turned into a targeted level 5 when he was still confused, and the side effect caused his intelligence to stop increasing. The third possibility is that the scattered fragments of his soul gathered in several locations in the Forest of Menreiki and were born as newborns.
These examples are practically local Hueco Mundo residents, generally consisting of Gillian and Adjuchas, but they are all intelligent Gillians who no longer possess memories of their previous lives.
A representative figure is Ulquiorra Sifa.
The fourth, and quite common, method involves a single Hollow unilaterally devouring hundreds of Hollows, thereby gaining intelligence and an independent personality.
Representative figure: Aronnilo Eluluyeri.
Clearly, he wasn't destined for the first or third type of good fortune, nor did he want to abandon his personality to evolve.
In this situation, he can only choose the fourth option, but the risk factor for the fourth option is very high, and he might become the prey himself.
So he chose the fifth method: devouring other souls! Among them, death gods or wandering souls with the potential to become death gods were the best food.
"Damn it, I don't want to be eaten!"
With resentment in his eyes, Toshiro roared through gritted teeth.
"Empty, empty."
Hinamori Momo was completely terrified and could only mutter to herself.
"peach."
A crisis has arrived.
Will the young boy and girl be able to survive this life-or-death ordeal? And lurking in the shadows, another pair of eyes is watching them.
"Ding! Intermediate side quest issued: Rescue Hinamori Momo."
"Mission objective: Ensure Hinamori Momo's safety under the clutches of the Hollow."
"Mission Rewards: Hinamori Momo's Affection, Hinamori Momo's Kido Talent, Seven-Branched Sword Usage Talent."
"Failure penalty: Hinamori Momo's affection decreases, Hitsugaya Toshiro's hatred increases."
"Ding! Advanced side quest issued: Annihilate Toshiro Hitsugaya!"
"Mission Requirements: Cause Hitsugaya's death under reasonable conditions without arousing Hinamori Momoko's suspicion."
"Mission Rewards: Hitsugaya's full talents, Hyōrinmaru, the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō!"
"Failure penalty: None."
Someone's breathing suddenly became heavy.
Fifth Division.
Kiyohime was dangling her legs while reviewing documents, behaving like a little girl, and hardly anyone noticed.
Suddenly, she stopped moving and resumed her serious expression.
dong dong dong.
A knock on the door followed immediately.
"Come in."
Creak.
"Greetings, Captain Aizen."
With Kiyohime's permission, the person outside pushed open the door, and Kiyohime was slightly taken aback by the unremarkable appearance of the person.
It took him several seconds to recall the other person's identity.
Teacher Shimada from the Shinigami Academy.
Because she herself had never had any contact with the other party, she had only indirectly seen them a few times while observing Aizen's experiences.
In addition, the other party was not some important figure, nor someone the Fifth Division interacted with every day, which led to her not even remembering the other party's full name.
However, she was suspicious of his purpose in coming, but on the surface, Kiyohime maintained Aizen's image and invited him with a gentle expression: "Shimada-sensei, please find a seat. I don't have any good tea in my office, just some water, so please make do with that."
I wonder what brings Professor Shimada to visit today.
Seeing Kiyohime's attitude, Shimada-sensei was filled with emotion.
An ordinary team leader wouldn't be so polite to him, and he was immediately flattered and waved his hand, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I came here today mainly to talk about something."
"Hmm, please speak."
"This"
Seeing Kiyohime's politeness, Shimada hesitated for a moment, but remembering his duty, he decided to speak: "Senzaemon didn't attend class today, and I didn't see him in the dormitory either."
So I wanted to ask if he has joined the Fifth Division.
If Captain Aizen needs to speak with him.
"Then I won't bother you any longer. I just hope you can let me know in advance next time."
Shimada originally didn't intend to conduct home visits for things like this.
Well, it was just skipping class.
Just ask if you encounter this again.
But if Aizen is unaware of this, or if something happens to the students, his responsibility will be immense.
Just in case, he still came to inquire about the situation.
He simply didn't see the hint of disdain and displeasure that flashed in Kiyohime's eyes, which wasn't directed at him.
"Phew, I got it."
I was unaware of this matter, but I will handle it.
Last night, after I finished writing and copied it to the webpage backend, I was looking for images when I was called to take out the trash. When I got home, I forgot that I hadn't uploaded it.
Oops, operational error.
Chapter 241 A Hypocritical Excuse 6/39
After seeing off the bewildered Shimada, Kiyohime's face immediately darkened.
"Disappeared without a trace... Even scum wants to dig it up: What kind of flower wave is this?"
It's strange, really.
Although Aizen said that this younger brother was an imposter, Aizen Senzaemon never did anything harmful to Aizen, and didn't even show the slightest ill intention.
Even so, Kiyohime still loathed him, a loathing she had felt from the very first time she saw the way he looked at Matsumoto Rangiku.
Suddenly, her communicator rang.
Kiyohime immediately frowned slightly.
He left the office and headed to Aizen's secret base.
Lori, with her twin ponytails, was already sitting in the chair in front of the lab table, waiting. Before Kiyohime could speak, she said with a serious expression, "Lord Aizen's fake younger brother has disappeared. He must be plotting something."
There's a faint aura of Hollows in the direction of West Rukongai; go check it out quickly.
"I understand. Get more accurate information immediately."
Notify me.
Kiyohime nodded, leaving without questioning the other party's words, unusually avoiding a confrontation with Lori.
When it came to serious matters, they all tacitly avoided causing Aizen any trouble.
As for why Lori knew someone was looking for Kiyohime, it was because there were surveillance cameras in the office. This was specifically designed to allow Lori, who had been taking care of Aizen for several years, to correct Kiyohime's unintentional inappropriate actions.
Those in positions of power have a very keen sense of the aura of emptiness that permeates those in lower positions.
Just as Adjuchas can control mindless Gillian, they can sense the presence of Gillian, and Gillian-level Hollows can also sense Hollows below the level of Hollow.
Runlin Anhou Mountain.
Hiding in the shadows, Aizen Senzaemon breathed heavily, his heart pounding as he looked at the mission rewards.
Over this period of time, he has finally come to some realizations.
He is indeed very talented and has the qualifications to be the captain.
With the spiritual energy refining technique given to him by Aizen, his growth rate was rapid, but his comprehension seemed to be somewhat lacking.
Aside from the sword skills directly instilled by the system, he had no other skills that surpassed those of the "original body."
Even better, the learning speed for those technical skills is still very slow.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that the "original body" never existed in the first place.
This kind of thing.
This includes the Poison Island Style swordsmanship instilled by the system.
Even with the Flying Sword Style, he could only perform it by reciting the instructions verbatim.
He couldn't achieve the fusion or improvement that some transmigrators did; in fact, his swordsmanship was still at a beginner level, and he didn't use either of those two sword techniques.
He's still a kendo novice.
So, aside from the advantage of the transmigrator knowing the plot and having a "system"...
Aside from his cheat-like abilities, he really doesn't have anything else to boast about.
Therefore, this kind of "talent"
He values it highly.
In fact, this kind of "talent"
In Inzen's repertoire, this is referred to as "talent."
and "talent"
They are two completely different things.
However, this also shows that someone's system is still somewhat rigid and vague, and there is no clear classification of many things.
He didn't know these things, but he knew that the chances of acquiring talent were slim.
Hitsugaya Toshiro! The wielder of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, a genius who, according to Kyoraku Haru, would need 100 years to surpass him.
