Terrifying Spiritual Pressure! (Seeking Reads!)

Shin'o Academy, entrance examination site.

The Shin'o Academy examination is divided into three rounds.

These are the Reiatsu test, the Kido aptitude test, and the Zanjutsu aptitude test.

After a candidate completes all three rounds, the examiners provide a comprehensive score, with the Reiatsu test accounting for 60%, and the Kido and Zanjutsu aptitude tests accounting for 20% each.

Shin'o Academy has a cap on the number of new students admitted each year, selecting the best from among all those who meet the standards.

At this moment, Gilgamesh is undergoing the first round: the Reiatsu test.

"Pay attention, the passing threshold for the Reiatsu test is Level 25 Reiatsu."

"If you cannot even meet the passing threshold, you will be eliminated immediately."

Hearing the chief examiner's words, all the candidates grew nervous.

Renji Abarai and Rukia were no exceptions.

They were very anxious, unsure if they could pass the Reiatsu test.

Gilgamesh had brought them here specifically, and they did not want to disappoint him.

Gilgamesh perceived their thoughts; while stroking Yoruichi Shihouin in his arms, he spoke to comfort them: "Level 25 Reiatsu is the lowest level of Reiatsu that can be detected, while the Reiatsu of an average member of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads is around Level 20."

"As long as you don't let your composure crumble, you will certainly pass the Reiatsu test."

With Gilgamesh's reassurance, Renji Abarai and Rukia felt as if they had something to lean on, and their previously anxious hearts instantly calmed down.

During the Shin'o Academy entrance exam, no one dared to cause trouble, not even the children of noble families.

Therefore, the Reiatsu test proceeded in an orderly fashion.

"Koide Nakaji, Reiatsu Level 24, pass."

"Nagao Norika, Reiatsu Level 23, pass."

"Fukushima Yusuke, Reiatsu below Level 25, fail!"

Before long, the examiner's previously calm tone suddenly became excited.

"Konishi Riko, Reiatsu Level 10, pass!"

After the examiner made the announcement, the scene erupted into a commotion.

"Level 10 Reiatsu? My god! Hasn't that already reached the level of a seated officer?"

"The Reiatsu level for a seated officer is between Level 18 and Level 6. She didn't just meet the standard; she exceeded it by eight levels."

"I'm so envious. I bet she'll catch the attention of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads before long."

"I know her. She's the second daughter of the Konishi Clan from District 1 of West Rukongai. She was always treated poorly at home; I never expected her to have such powerful Reiatsu."

Amidst the commotion, the examination continued.

However, after Konishi Riko, no other Reiatsu test results appeared that could stun the entire crowd.

Under these circumstances, it was finally Gilgamesh's turn to undergo the Reiatsu test.

Watching Gilgamesh step onto the Reiatsu testing device, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on him.

Even the examiners present and the Bleach hidden in the shadows all turned their gazes toward Gilgamesh.

There was no helping it; Gilgamesh was simply too dazzling.

Waves of discussion began to rise.

"That's the Charisma of the Beautiful Boy from yesterday! It's finally his turn. I wonder what his Reiatsu level will be?"

"I see he has an extraordinary bearing and a noble temperament; he must come from a noble family, perhaps even a high-ranking noble house. A conservative estimate would put his Reiatsu between Level 10 and Level 5."

"That's a reasonable guess. Level 5 is already the Reiatsu level of a lieutenant. Even for him, it should be impossible to exceed that."

"That is the foundation of the nobility; we simply cannot compare. I bet he'll take the top spot in this exam."

Renji Abarai and Rukia, standing behind Gilgamesh, heard the surrounding discussions and wore expectant expressions, waiting for Gilgamesh to stun the entire crowd.

They had heard from Mr. Black Cat that Gilgamesh's strength was enough to rival the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.

They didn't know what level of Reiatsu a captain had, but they knew the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads were the strongest fighters in the Soul Society.

At this moment, the Reiatsu testing device had already begun to operate automatically.

Gilgamesh did not need to do anything; the device would automatically detect his Reiatsu.

Very quickly, the results from the Reiatsu testing device appeared.

Looking at the result, the examiner's face showed astonishment, and he subconsciously announced, "Gilgamesh, Reiatsu Level 25, pass."

As the examiner announced the result, the entire examination hall fell instantly silent.

Incredible and disbelieving expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

They could never have imagined that Gilgamesh's spiritual pressure test would barely reach the passing line; this was completely different from what they had anticipated.

Renji Abarai and Rukia were the same, their faces filled with expressions of astonishment.

Only Yoruichi Shihouin showed no change in expression regarding this.

She had always found Gilgamesh's spiritual pressure to be strange.

In her perception, Gilgamesh's spiritual pressure was pitifully weak, yet she had seen his strength with her own eyes.

Therefore, she assumed that Gilgamesh possessed an item to conceal his spiritual pressure, and that this result was to hide his true capabilities so as not to attract the attention of those Shinigami and nobles.

After all, the Kingdom of Uruk was just getting started, and it was not yet time to announce its existence to the entire world.

Only Gilgamesh himself knew that his spiritual pressure was exactly rank twenty-five.

In his attribute panel, Gilgamesh's spiritual pressure was 50,000.

This meant that 50,000 spiritual pressure corresponded to rank twenty-five.

Converted by ratio, the spiritual pressure of a captain-level individual could potentially be over one million.

Of course, none of this mattered; Gilgamesh's confidence did not stem from his spiritual pressure.

Moreover, as long as Gilgamesh was willing, he was confident he could add points to his spiritual pressure to reach one million, ten million, or even hundreds of millions.

After a brief silence, the examination hall erupted into a commotion once again.

This commotion was far greater than any before.

"No way, he only has rank twenty-five spiritual pressure?"

"Could this be the legendary 'all show and no substance'?"

"I told you so, he definitely wouldn't make it. Otherwise, why would his two lackeys look so rustic? They look like they're from the countryside."

"I guessed right; he was likely kicked out of his family and forced to change his name because his talent was lacking."

"So that's it. I was wondering why I had never heard of a family named 'Gil'."

"What a pity. His features are exactly to my taste, but with such poor talent, my family would never agree. Gil, it's destined that we are impossible."

"Does this mean I have a chance? I can keep him; he wouldn't have to do anything, just stay by my side."

Renji Abarai and Rukia listened to the surrounding gossip, their anger burning, and were just about to explode.

But before they could say anything, a terrifying burst of spiritual pressure flashed and vanished in an instant.

Among those present, every examinee except for Gilgamesh could not help but collapse to their knees, and even the examiners and hidden Shinigami were no exception.

Their faces were filled with terror, their hearts palpitating in panic, and cold sweat soaked their bodies before they even realized it.

In that very moment, they felt as if the sky itself had collapsed.

They did not know what had happened, but they knew that the terrifying spiritual pressure that had just flashed by must have been related to the only person still standing in the hall.

That person was... Gilgamesh!
