Looking at the Tsunayashiro Head's smug expression, Yamabuki really wanted to go up and punch him hard, but then he saw so many people still queuing behind, so he decided to endure it for the sake of work.
"Name!" Yamabuki asked coldly.
"Chief of Staff, don't be so serious! There are still so many people waiting behind!" The Tsunayashiro Head said with a chuckle: "Let's just measure the spiritual pressure directly!"
The Tsunayashiro Head placed his hand on the instrument, and soon the instrument gave a grade: five.
The Tsunayashiro Head was very proud. He had sent people to secretly observe the grades of the Shinigami who signed up for the Gotei 13. The conclusion was that most people were unqualified, and only a few could pass the spiritual pressure test. Even so, very few people could directly join the squad; most had to go to Shino'o Academy for study.
There were almost no people like himself whose spiritual pressure directly reached grade five. Although the Gotei 13's regulation was that one had to exceed grade three spiritual pressure to become a Captain, where would they find so many masters? He heard that a grade three spiritual pressure person had just appeared? No problem, counting the new arrivals, there were only four Captain-level powerhouses in the Gotei 13. At that time, it would definitely be a matter of picking the tallest among the short, and the Captain's position would definitely fall to him.
No choice, with strength comes confidence.
After working for four days and three nights, Yamabuki was exhausted like a panda, completely drained, and finally finished testing the last Shinigami.
These Grandsons! Couldn't they have come to relieve me? Even let me sleep for a bit! What kind of black-hearted company is this? Working eighty hours straight without rest, even capitalists would cry. When Yamabuki stood up, he felt like the blood in his body wasn't flowing, and all his bones creaked.
Perhaps due to his physique, his spiritual pressure had actually increased a bit.
After four days of intense battle, 151 official members and 314 students were selected. These students had to undergo systematic training before they could be deployed to the battlefield.
Returning to his room, Yamabuki collapsed onto his bed and slept. This wasn't the life he wanted! He clearly wanted to slack off and muddle through, so why did he have to work so hard?
In his dream, he saw a flat, large fish, and he happily and brazenly slacked off!
However, while he was sleeping, a major event occurred in Central 46.
A Central 46 staff member came before the Great Sage.
"Elders, something terrible has happened!" The staff member said tremblingly.
The Great Sage calmly said: "Look at you, what a sight. You should remain unfazed even if the sky falls and the earth crumbles. Is the Gotei 13 causing trouble again?"
The staff member shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with the Gotei 13. Do you still remember the order issued before? To find a powerful individual from Rukongai who can rival Yamamoto Genryūsai! We might have found them!"
The Old Man were so excited by this news that they almost jumped up. This was great; being suppressed by others was too uncomfortable!
"However, all the people we sent were killed!" The staff member added.
The Great Sage's heart tightened: "All killed? What happened? I remember there was a grade five spiritual pressure powerhouse in the guard team!"
The staff member said tremblingly: "You are referring to the brother of the head of Kasumiōji. He was cut down by the opponent with one slash! The scene was extremely tragic! Also, everyone who went with him was massacred. The opponent is simply a complete murderer!"
The Great Sage's face darkened: "Didn't you say we were from Central 46?"
"I did!"
"Then she still dared to kill our people? Doesn't she know this is making an enemy of the entire Soul Society?"
"After I said it, she killed even more happily! She also said… to clean your necks, she'll be here soon!" The staff member said.
"..."
Has Central 46 become so insignificant these days? Anyone can bully it.
"Didn't that vicious murderer say her name?" The Great Sage asked nervously. If a powerhouse truly capable of rivaling Yamamoto Genryūsai were to break into Central 46, it would be the end of the world.
"That woman called herself…"
"A woman?" The Great Sage was startled. Such an unparalleled powerhouse was actually a woman?
"Called herself… Yachiru Unohana!"
Yamabuki slept in a daze, having a lot of dreams. The clearest one he remembered was that he was fishing, and then the big fish suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed him!
"Why am I having these strange dreams?" Yamabuki was speechless. He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was hungry.
Yamabuki smelled the aroma of food and followed the scent, only to find that a large dining hall had been built outside at some point, and many new Gotei 13 members were eating there.
When these members saw Yamabuki, they immediately stood up.
"Chief of Staff!"
"It's alright, sit down and eat!" Yamabuki swayed over to the serving area and found that Chōjirō and Hanako were helping in the kitchen.
"Brother Yamabuki, you're awake!" Chōjirō Sasakibe hurried over when he saw Yamabuki.
"Don't say so much for now, give me more meat! I'm starving!" Yamabuki said, "How long have I been asleep?"
Hanako said, "You've been asleep for a full day and night!"
"Then when was this dining hall built? Why didn't I notice it at all?" Yamabuki asked.
After asking, he learned that the Five Great Noble Clans had sent people to help build this dining hall, and the squad members' dorms were also almost finished.
Yamabuki then remembered that the Soul Society was composed of reishi, not molecules, and building a house in a reishi-dense place like Seireitei was very easy.
Hanako put a plate full of meat into Yamabuki's bowl. Yamabuki smiled happily, "You're still the one who cares about your brother!"
"Hanako is playing favorites! I didn't get this much meat the last time I ate here!" Shihōin Chika's voice came, and he even reached his chopsticks into Yamabuki's bowl to pick out some meat.
"You bastards, what were you doing when I was working so hard!!! Don't you know I almost went into shock and died!" Yamabuki said, full of resentment.
Shihōin Chika's eyes darted around. "Well, we were doing something very important at the time. You'll know in a bit!"
Something very important?
After eating, Shihōin Chika took Yamabuki to Yamamoto's office, then said mysteriously, "Captain-Commander, show him that thing!"
Yamabuki was still curious when he saw Yamamoto take a box from under his bed and gently open it.
Inside the box was... mahjong!
"Wait, so while I was working my ass off... you guys were playing mahjong!!!!! I'm not doing this anymore! I quit!!!"
