Chapter 028: Becoming a Teacher

Become Byakuya's teacher?

Hearing Kuchiki Ginrei's words, Mazuru couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Ginrei's expression, he looked very serious, not like someone who is joking.

But having said that, it was impossible for Mazuru to agree directly.

"Captain Kuchiki is joking. The Kuchiki family is the head of the four nobles. I am just a vice-captain. How can I be the teacher of Master Byakuya."

"I'm not joking!" Kuchiki Ginrei said seriously: "Vice-captain Mazuru has the necessary strength."

"Koga is my son-in-law, and I know his strength very well. He is very talented. He had already mastered Bankai during his time at Shinō Academy. Otherwise, I would not have chosen him to join the Kuchiki family."

"His deeds, of course, made me very sad, but Vice-captain Mazuru defeated him, which made the old man even more amazed at the strength you possess"

"The Vice-captain Mazuru at that time didn't use Bankai."

"Without using Bankai, defeating Koga who used Bankai is an incredible thing in itself."

Mazuru explained, "Captain Kuchiki misunderstood, the reason why I didn't use Bankai is also possible because I didn't master Bankai."

"So what?" Ginrei interrupted Mazuru, "With Vice-captain Mazuru's strength and talent, even if he hasn't mastered Bankai yet, he will sooner or later."

"I have not yet mastered Bankai, but I have such strength. Once I master Bankai, the strength will be even stronger."

Mazuru said in a deep voice, "Captain Kuchiki praised me so much, I am really embarassed."

Ginrei said, "So, please, Vice-captain Mazuru, consider this old man's request."

Mazuru was silent for a while, and said, "The Kuchiki family is the head of the four great nobles, Captain Kuchiki is the captain of the Sixth Division, and I am just a Vice-captain, if Captain Kuchiki wants to find a teacher for Master Byakuya, Leaving aside Captain Shunsui and Captain Jushiro, who are both nobles, as far as I know, the Shihouin family and the Kuchiki family of the both from the four great nobles, and the relationship between the two families is inseparable. Captain Shihouin is also a good candidate."

Ginrei shook his head, smiled lightly, and didn't explain too much.

It is precisely because they are all of noble origin that Ginrei did not consider them.

As the head of the Kuchiki family, the head of the four nobles, Ginrei knows exactly what kind of people the nobles are.

On the contrary, Mazuru, who joined Seireitei not long ago, has not been contaminated by the passage of time, is still a blank sheet of paper, and is a commoner from Rukongai. Although he is the vice-captain of Jushiro, the Ukitake family is just a low-level noble, and he also knows the character of Jushiro very well.

How could the Kuchiki family give up getting closer to such a strong man who had no entanglements with any nobles?

If it was the past, Ginrei would naturally not consider letting Mazuru become Byakuya's teacher.

But now it's different.

He is already old, and he doesn't know how long he can last. Koga went astray and committed a heinous crime. A strong man who could have helped the Kuchiki family protect the family's glory disappeared. It's not a desirable situation, and obviously he can't afford to jeopardize the glory of the Kuchiki family.

His grandson, Byakuya, is different, talented and not physically weak like his father.

As long as it can grow up, with the blood of the Kuchiki family, there is no doubt that he will be a powerful shinigami.

As the head of the Kuchiki family, Ginrei has to consider everything for the Kuchiki family. Before Byakuya grows up, he needs to find a strong person to help the Kuchiki family and maintain the glory of the family.

After all, the lessons of the Shiba clan are still vivid.

It was because there was a period of time when the family powerhouses were weak, which made the former great nobles decline.

At this moment, Mazuru walked into his eyes.

First of all, Mazuru's strength is not bad, and second, he is young enough.

Even if he has not mastered Bankai yet, judging from his ability to defeat Kuchiki Koga who has mastered Bankai, his strength can already be compared to that of ordinary captains. Once Bankai is mastered it is icing over the cake.

Captain Yamamoto will never allow a strong man like him to serve as the vice-captain all the time.

Given time, it will not be long that Mazuru will be able to become the captain of the Gotei 13.

At this moment, asking Mazuru to become Byakuya's teacher is just to invest in advance.

Moreover, Ginrei has already thought about it from other angles, and the only way is to let Mazuru become Byakuya's teacher, which can bring the relationship between Mazuru and Kuchiki family closer.

After all, his daughter has already been married once, and even if her husband is dead, it is impossible for her to marry again.

Seeing that Mazuru was silent again, Ginrei was also silent for a while. He sighed and said to Mazuru, "Vice-captain Mazuru, I'm serious."

Mazuru finally confirmed that Ginrei was not joking.

To be honest, the head of the Kuchiki family, the head of the four great nobles, made such repeated requests in front of him, but he was still coy. This was already very disrespectful to the Kuchiki family.

Hearing what Ginrei said, Mazuru really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Since its Captain Kuchiki's request, I can only agree."

He looked at Ginrei's old face and said so.

A smile appeared on Ginrei's face immediately.

Afterwards, Kuchiki Sojun, who was at the banquet that day, brought his son Byakuya to Mazuru, but did not engage in any shrouded apprenticeship ceremony, and Byakuya became Mazuru's apprentice.

Mazuru has been born for the second time, but it is his first time to become a teacher. He actually doesn't know what to teach.

After thinking about it carefully, he found that he was really good at slashing things with a sword.

This thing refers not only to the hollow, but also to people.

So, he began to teach Byakuya Zanjutsu.

Zanjutsu, Byakuya will of course know, after all, the Kuchiki family is aristocratic, in the future, it is inevitable to go to Shinō Academy to learn the basic skills of shinigami, but before that, under the education of the nobles, he still learned under some noble's early exclusive rights.

Grandpa Ginrei once taught him Zanjutsu.

But Mazuru's slashing technique is different from the slashing technique taught by his grandfather.

In Mazuru's words, it means "use everything to the extreme" and "pursue ultimate slaying". Byakuya has never been exposed to this kind of slashing technique, and he is quite fascinated.

On this day, Mazuru had finished teaching Byakuya and had a sudden idea to teach Byakuya something new.

"You should know Shunpo."

Byakuya nodded, Shunpo is one of the basic skills of shinigami. Even though he has not yet entered the Shinigami Academy, as a nobleman, he knows a lot about shinigami's various abilities because of his different tutoring.

"Then I'll teach you a movement skill similar to Shunpo's today."

Mazuru explained slowly.

During this period, he couldn't help but glanced towards a certain direction from the corner of his eyes. Over there, there was a black cat lying quietly on the wall.
