At this point, the Captain Commander should neither see nor hear him. Once he leaves through the main gate, all of this will be over...

"Who's there!" the Captain Commander suddenly shouted.

Aizen felt a chill run down his spine!

In despair, he could only turn around and smile, wondering if the Captain Commander would spare him a proper burial out of respect for his Teacher.

"So it's Yamabuki. What are you doing here?" the Captain Commander asked.

Aizen's back was soaked with cold sweat. Had the Kyōka Suigetsu, taken effect?

Indeed, at least the speculation that Kyōka Suigetsu is useless against Captain-level Shinigami is just a conjecture, and it has not been actually tested. It seems that the upper limit of Kyōka Suigetsu is higher than I thought.

Aizen mimicked Yamabuki Chidori's tone, saying, "It's nothing, just reading a book. By the way, you go ahead with your work, I still have tasks to complete."

He dared not say more; the more he said, the more flaws he would reveal.

He just hoped that "Kyōka Suigetsu" wouldn't fail him at this crucial moment.

Aizen walked step by step to the door. The Captain Commander did not call his name, Aizen took the opportunity to quickly leave the Forbidden Books Section.

It almost feels like I've been reincarnated twice.

After Aizen left the Forbidden Books Section, the "Captain Commander" suddenly smiled and drew a strangely shaped Zanpakuto from his waist.

"It truly lives up to its Kyōka Suigetsu; it's really fun."

This Zanpakuto was none other than the legendary sword, Kyōten'en, passed down through generations of the Tsunayashiro Clan.

The person wielding the knife was not Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, but Yamabuki Chidori.

Aizen thought he had hypnotized the Captain Commander with Kyōka Suigetsu, but little did he know that he himself had also fallen under the Kyōka Suigetsu.

When Yamabuki Chidori arrived at the Forbidden Books Section, she immediately spotted Aizen overhead. She had only intended to tease the child, but judging from Aizen's expression, he seemed to be terrified.

If I were to reveal my true form to Aizen at this moment, what would Aizen's expression be?

I'm really curious.

However, this kid is indeed a genius. He only mastered the Kyōka Suigetsu Kyōka Suigetsu" technique for a day, yet he can already play it so skillfully.

Yamabuki Chidori wanted to see if, with her help, Aizen could go further than in the original story.

After all, the Soul King is just a tool to maintain stability in the Three Realms. As long as I'm not allowed to be the one, it doesn't matter who is.

If Aizen truly wants to stand at the top, it's not entirely unacceptable.

After leaving the Forbidden Books Section, Aizen returned to his dormitory as quickly as possible. Only after confirming that no one was looking for him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Before one's strength grows, one must remain low-key.

Today's events were extremely dangerous; if anything had gone wrong, I would have been dead.

Starting today, I'm going to work incredibly hard to improve my skills.

For Shinigami, the best way to improve their strength is through actual combat. However, most Shinigami have limited potential, and no matter how hard they fight, it is difficult to increase their power. But Aizen is different; his potential ceiling is simply too high.

"At this stage, I still need to rely on my Teacher, but when my strength advances further, I will only be able to rely on myself," Aizen said softly.

Relying on yourself is better than relying on anyone else; Aizen, though young, had already understood this principle.

If I had Reiatsu at the Captain-level, things wouldn't have been so dangerous today.

All failures are due to one's own lack of ability.

Aizen had never wanted to become stronger as much as he had ever had.

Having found his target, Aizen sought out Yamabuki Chidori.

For some reason, my Teacher was looking at me with a strange smile.

"Teacher... why are you looking at me like that?" Aizen felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

"It's nothing." Yamabuki Chidori wanted to laugh when she remembered what she had told Aizen earlier, but cough cough, she couldn't laugh, she was being very serious.

"Is there something you need?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Aizen said in a solemn tone, "Teacher, I wish to formally join the Gotei 13. Please grant my request."

"Formally joining the Gotei 13? You want to go solo so early?" Yamabuki Chidori looked at Aizen with some surprise. "Fine, it's your own choice. Tell me, which squad do you want to join? I still have that right."

"Teacher, which squad is in the most danger right now?" Aizen asked.

"The 11th Division is the most dangerous; they're always the first to charge into battle whenever they encounter an enemy," Yamabuki Chidori said.

"Please, Teacher, let me join the 11th Division," Aizen said solemnly.

Yamabuki Chidori smirked. Shouldn't this kid be in the Fifth Division?

Chapter 30: Teacher, where is the most dangerous place? Please send me there.

Of course, that's what she said, but Yamabuki Chidori wouldn't interfere with Aizen's own choices.

"Since you want to join the 11th Division, I won't stop you! I'll write you a letter of introduction, which you can give directly to the 11th Division Captain," Yamabuki Chidori said, wondering what kind of trouble this kid would cause in the 11th Division.

Aizen held Yamabuki Chidori's letter of introduction and sighed inwardly. It really is easy to get things done when you have connections. He had only been studying at the Shino Academy for less than a month, and the Gotei 13 had already let him choose whoever he wanted.

"I'll report to the 11th Division right away. Thank you, Teacher." Aizen bowed slightly and then quickly left the office.

Aizen was extremely excited. There are many ways to become stronger, and combat is the simplest one. Only through constant real combat and honing oneself on the edge of life and death can one become stronger at the fastest speed. Of course, this also requires sufficient potential.

If Kurosaki Ichigo didn't have enough potential, he would have been killed by Renji the first time they Renji.

Every time Ichigo is pushed to his limit, Ichigo can unleash a portion of his potential to overcome the difficulty. He is like a bottomless pit, and no one knows where his limit is.

"Hello, is this the 11th Division? I'm here to register," Aizen said very respectfully.

The 11th Division's style is rugged and bold. The two Shinigami looked at Aizen and couldn't help but laugh, "Kid, whose child are you? Go back to playing house! The 11th Division isn't a place for children."

The 11th Division is widely recognized as the strongest division, capable of easily defeating all other divisions of Shinigami of the same rank.

Aizen wasn't angry; he simply took out a letter of recommendation from his pocket. "This is a letter of recommendation from the Chief Strategist. Please give it to the Captain."

The current Captain of the 11th Division is Hyakki-ji Kenpachi, who took office two hundred years ago and is known for having the strongest defense.

Two hundred years ago, he became the Captain of the 11th Division by defeating Kamishirokawa. When the two Shinigami saw Yamabuki Chidori's letter of recommendation, their expressions changed slightly. They dared not be careless and hurriedly took the letter of recommendation to the Captain.

Hyakki-ji Kenpachi looked at the child with the letter of recommendation with some curiosity. The 11th Division was the most dangerous place, and he would be the first to rush to the front lines in case of a combat mission. As for Aizen's identity, he knew about him as Yamabuki Chidori's last disciple. It was said that Yamabuki Chidori doted on this little apprentice. Could it be that he wanted to send him to the 11th Division to gain prestige? No, that old guy wasn't the kind of person who liked such empty talk.

Filled with curiosity, Hyakki-ji Kenpachi opened the letter of recommendation, and after reading it, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Crack!" Hyakki-ji Kenpachi fist. Aizen was curious about his actions, as he hadn't seen what was written in the letter of recommendation, so he wondered why Hyakki-ji would crush it.

"I understand. This is indeed the Chief Strategist's intention. The letter says: Although you are still young, your strength is already comparable to that of a regular Shinigami. It instructs me to assign you missions that match your abilities. Aizen, right? Don't blame me for not warning you, missions in the 11th Division are no joke; one wrong move and you could really die. It's not too late to back out now." Aizen nodded solemnly. "I've made up my mind, and I absolutely will not back out."

"Alright! You may be young, but you're definitely a man. I'll take you in." Hyakki-ji Kenpachi patted Yamabuki Chidori's shoulder twice, Aizen in pain.

"The letter has already made it clear that although you have officially become a member of the 11th Division, your studies are not over yet. Your main task is still to study, understand?" Hyakki-ji Kenpachi said with a smile.

The recommendation letter actually contained only one sentence. "Play yourself to death, as long as you don't die."

I really don't understand you two, master and apprentice, but since this is your Teacher's order, I won't stand on ceremony.

"Perfect timing, I want to test your abilities. I have a task for you. If you complete it, I'll acknowledge you as my team member. Do you have the guts?" Hyakki-ji Kenpachi laughed.

"Leave any mission to me," Aizen said firmly.

To become stronger, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

"Alright, this is the mission objective, go!"

Three days later.

Aizen returned covered in blood, carrying Hollow's head in his hand. His clothes were stained red with blood, and his wounds were horrific.

This Hollow was not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely cunning. Aizen it with a battle of wits and courage, finally managing to kill it after exhausting all his strength, but he himself was also seriously injured.

"Captain, I have completed the mission." Aizen smiled slightly.

Hyakki-ji was horrified by the wounds on Aizen's body. At first, he thought Aizen was someone's young master, but seeing his ruthlessness, Hyakki-ji was also moved.

"Quick, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and contact the Fourth Division! You, lie on the ground and don't move, I'll stop your bleeding right away." Hyakki-ji hurriedly put Aizen on the ground. Yamabuki Chidori entrusted Aizen to him on the condition that he "won't die." If this kid died, Yamabuki Chidori would definitely not let it go.

Because of excessive blood loss, Aizen could no longer hear what Hyakki-ji was saying. His feet felt as if they were walking on cotton, light and extremely uncomfortable.

Although the 11th Division is a combat division, they are used to many injuries and can handle simple wound care.

After cleaning up the bloodstains, the Fourth Division arrived and immediately began treating Aizen, while also notifying Yamabuki Chidori.

Aizen hadn't completely lost consciousness; he felt lightheaded, half-asleep and half-awake. In his hazy state, a pair of fingers pried open his eyelids.

The bright light shining in made Aizen's eyes very uncomfortable.

"You've lost too much blood. Quickly go to the blood bank and get some blood of the same type. Prepare to use the Kido to treat your wounds." A man's voice reached Aizen's ears.

"No, there are still fragments of limbs inside his body. If we don't remove them, it will become infected."

"Then prepare for surgery. Prepare to administer anesthesia."

"The anesthetic... we just ran out this morning."

Aizen vaguely sensed that he had heard some extraordinary news.

"Then we won't need anesthesia." The man said in a voice that Aizen could hear clearly, "Don't worry, my sword is very sharp, the pain won't last long."

Aizen was too weak to resist, so he could only blink, not even knowing why he was blinking.

"You agree? Great! Let's get ready..."

The next second, Aizen felt a cold sensation in his stomach, as if a knife was sliding back and forth inside him.

Then came excruciating pain.

"Is it... about to begin?" Aizen asked weakly.

"No, it's over. The foreign object has been removed. Prepare to Kido treatment."

Chapter Thirty-One: I, Kamishirokawa, a Renowned Physician

After an unknown amount of time, Aizen slowly regained consciousness and found himself lying in a hospital bed, covered with a warm blanket.

Yamabuki Chidori sat down next to him, peeling an apple, then slowly picked off a piece with the tip of her knife and put it into her mouth.

"Teacher, how long have I been unconscious?" Aizen asked weakly, feeling no strength in his limbs.

"Actually, it wasn't that long, only about a day." Yamabuki Chidori looked at Aizen with some helplessness. The first time he was sent out on a mission, it turned out so badly. If it weren't for the Fourth Division's quick action, his life would have been in danger.

Aizen suddenly remembered some unpleasant sounds he had heard on the operating table earlier.

"Teacher, I think I had a dream. In the dream, someone said that the anesthetic had run out..." Aizen looked at his Teacher very weakly.

"It's not a dream. Many people were injured during a previous hunting mission by another squad, so we ran out of anesthetic." Yamabuki Chidori took a banana from the fruit basket, peeling it as she spoke. "You should feel lucky. The surgeon was very quick; the operation was over before you even felt the pain. Otherwise, you would have been in serious trouble."

Are there such highly skilled doctors? Aizen tilted his head slightly.

"Your wound has healed. The current symptom is excessive blood loss. You'll be fine after a period of rest. Don't push yourself so hard next time. Survival is the most important thing." Yamabuki Chidori reached out to pat Aizen's forehead, but seeing his miserable state, she couldn't find a place to hit him and could only withdraw her hand.

Aizen, recalling the scene of the previous battle, became extremely serious. "Teacher, I have discovered Kyōka Suigetsu's greatest weakness."

"Um?"

"Kyōka Suigetsu's Complete Hypnosis ability is indeed very powerful, but it cannot directly increase my combat power. Moreover, if I haven't seen Kyōka Suigetsu's Shikai, I won't be hypnotized by it. In that case... Kyōka Suigetsu Kyōka Suigetsu completely useless when fighting enemies," Aizen said dejectedly.

In other words, in a direct confrontation, if the opponent is not hypnotized, Kyōka Suigetsu will have no effect.

It seems that Aizen has also discovered this fatal weakness.

When both sides are evenly matched, if the opponent is not hypnotized beforehand, Kyōka Suigetsu will lose all its effects, while other Zanpakuto can transform into various forms to enhance their combat power.

"Knowing your shortcomings isn't a bad thing. Now that you know your weaknesses, you should find ways to overcome them. Giving up won't do." Yamabuki Chidori handed over a banana. "Here's a banana. Get some vitamins so you can recover faster."

Aizen doesn't want to move a single finger right now, let alone eat.

"Bang!"

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a white coat walked in coldly.

"The patient can't eat yet; we need to observe him for 24 hours. If his internal organs rupture or have bleeding points, feeding him will be very difficult," the man said with a stern expression.

"Kamishirokawa, stop pretending. I taught you your medical skills. I've already checked you beforehand. There's no damage to your internal organs, and apart from anemia, there's nothing else wrong." Yamabuki Chidori looked at the doctor calmly.

Kamishirokawa raised an eyebrow, but could only watch helplessly as Aizen ate the banana.
