1 Discipline Makes Me Bald, No, Stronger
"Soul Society.
Seireitei.
It has been three years since the Hollowfication incident.
In the long history of a Soul Reaper, this was undoubtedly insignificant.
However, within two years, many major events have occurred.
Due to the Hollowfication incident, several Captains and Vice-Captains were exiled, leaving a lot of Captain and Vice-Captain seats within Gotei 13 vacant.
Under Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's order, the position of the Captain of the Second Division was taken over by heir of Feng family affiliated with Shihoin noble family, Soi Fon.
The Captain of the Fifth Division is now held by the former Vice-Captain, Sosuke Aizen, with his Vice-Captain being Gin Ichimaru.
Komamura Sajin, a loyal supporter of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, has successfully ascended to become the captain of the Seventh Division.
As for the captaincy of the Third Division, it is temporarily handled by the former Vice-Captain Izuru Kira since the replacement hadn't been found.
The Twelfth Division, due to the high risk associated with Mayuri Kurotsuchi, remained under observation.
Only the Ninth Division...
In a corner of the division's headquarters, a figure is meticulously conducting daily training.
The person had a straight posture, creating a unique rhythm as he did push up.
It was the the Ninth Division Third Seat, a well-known Captain candidate, the heir of one of the Four Great Noble Houses, Tsunayashiro Clan, Tokikaze Tsunayashiro.
[Host completes daily training, maintaining discipline for the first thousand days.]
[Reiatsu has increased, currently at Level 3!]
[Zanjutsu has improved, currently at Level 10!]
[Hakuda has improved, currently at the Level 9!]
[Kido has improved, mastering Bakudo No. 75 – Five-Pillared Iron Weights!]
At the moment the man finished his training, a familiar prompt sound timely reached his ears.
"This is all I got after a thousand days of daily practice?"
Tokikaze used a star hairpin to secure his disheveled black hair, revealing a handsome face.
"Quite disappointing indeed..."
"In this dangerous world, such strength is far from enough."
As a transmigrator, he was well aware of the dangers of his current identity.
Especially after witnessing the determination of Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the horror of the Hollowfication incident, Tokikaze prioritized self-preservation above all.
On top of that, some people were still lurking in the shadow, awaiting the return of their king.
Dangers were constantly lurking.
Although Tokikaze had planned his training regimen from a young age, the binding of the Stronger Self-Discipline System after graduating from the Shin'o Academy led him to overturn his plans.
Through discipline, he could improve his Reiatsu and strength.
It was brutally straightforward.
Now Tokikaze's strength could barely protect himself in this dangerous world.
Host: Tokikaze Tsunayashiro
Zanjutsu: Level 10
Hakuda: Level 9
Shunpo: Level 8
Kido: Level 7
Reiatsu: Level 3
Zanpakuto: True name mastered, Shikai mastered
(The tenth level is based on Unohana Retsu's Ten-level Zanjutsu, and the Level 3 Reiatsu is equivalent to Captain-level Reiatsu, based on the Bleach storyline setting.)
Even with such stats, he was quite decent among many Captains.
But for Tokikaze, it was still far from enough.
Let alone the hordes of monsters from Wandenreich, just facing one Espada would be challenging at this point.
This has led to his heightened sense of crisis.
After graduating from the Shin'o Academy, he made sure to consistently did a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and ran ten kilometer regardless of the weather.
Of course, this training intensity was just to follow his system's requirement.
With considerable strength and his status as a Noble, Tokikaze rapidly climbed through the ranks in the Gotei 13.
In just two years, he has gone from an ordinary squad member to the third-seat officer.
In the present.
The Captain, had been Hollowfied were exiled, leaving no trace.
The competition for the position of Captain of the Ninth Division now rested between Tokikaze and Kaname Tosen.
Although Tokikaze was not particularly interested in this position, he didn't want to be anyone's errand boy.
In Gotei 13, there was a significant difference in authority between Captains and Vice-Captains.
Moreover, the Tsunayashiro house also placed some hope on Tokikaze.
So, the position of Captain is still worth contending for.
Just as he pondered, a figure appeared not far from Tokikaze.
A person with an armband engraved with the character "Nine" came, indicating that it was a visitor.
"Lord Tokikaze, Captain-Commander and the Captains have been waiting."
Despite being urged to hurry, Tokikaze remains calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, even if the ones waiting for him were Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the Captains of each division.
"Yes, I understand."
Tokikaze with Shinigami attire internally and adorned in the noble attire of the Tsunayashiro house on top of it, enhancing his ethereal demeanor.
In terms of the charisma alone, he considered himself not inferior to anyone.
Whether it was hair gel hands or a small white-haired man, or a certain disheveled old man, or a sickly Captain...
With the charm bestowed upon him and his free-spirited demeanor.
Tokikaze has been listed by the Female Soul Reaper Association as the number one dangerous individual.
His level of danger even surpasses that of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who frequently ventured into the nests of maggots.
After fixing his appearance, Tokikaze nodded and gestures, "Let's go."
The Soul Reaper that called Tokikaze quickly led the way towards the largest training ground of the 9th Division.
At the same time.
On the training ground, several figures cloaked in white feather weaves stood tall, their majestic auras lingering around them. Even without releasing any Reiatsu, the vast area remained in a deathly silence.
Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's face darkened, and the veins on his clean-shaven head slightly bulged, making the scars more prominent.
He tightly gripped his swirling cane, occasionally sparking tiny sparks.
This scene was noticed by the Captains, and they instinctively move away from this unstable bomb.
Whenever someone was late, this usually composed old man would be on the verge of eruption.
"Oh, is the kid finally here?"
A frivolous and lazy voice echoed from under a straw hat, immediately attracting the attention of everyone.
At the entrance of the training ground.
A figure in light blue feather weave gracefully approached.
Tokikaze stepped lightly into the training ground, completely ignoring some unfriendly glances.
He walked directly in front of the Captains with a slight smile, and his gentle aura instantly eased the tense atmosphere.
"Lord Captain-Commander, the assessment can begin now."
