Chapter 90 – Thoughts

"If it's Captain Ailin, I also agree."

Following Captain Love Aikawa of the 7th Division, Captain Shinji Hirako of the 5th Division also cast his vote.

"Regarding the proposal to appoint the felon Ailin as the ninth generation Kenpachi, currently the 4th Division Captain, 7th Division Captain, and 5th Division Captain have approved it.Is there anyone else who wants to recommend the felon Ailin?"

Commander-General Yamamoto swept his gaze over the captains standing before him and asked.

If Ailin were currently in Soul Society, then with the recommendations from these three captains, plus Yamamoto's own agreement, it would meet the first condition for assuming the captain position.

After all, Ailin had previously served as the 6th Division Captain and possessed captain-level strength as well as Bankai for his Zanpakutō, which had all been tested.

However, Ailin was not in Soul Society at the moment, so the first and third conditions were not met.

To promote Ailin to the 11th Division Captain, recommendations from three more captains were needed, as well as the approval of six captains.

"Heh, if it's Brother Ailin, I can cast a vote too." Kirio Hikifune, Captain of the 12th Division, said cheerfully.

In Kirio Hikifune's view, Ailin was indeed a rare talent. Perhaps he could also receive an invitation from the Zero Division like Kuruyashiki Kenpachi.

Kirio Hikifune had absolute confidence in her own promotion to the Zero Division. If she could have a familiar colleague in the Zero Division, it wouldn't be so lonely up there, right?

"Four." Commander-General Yamamoto read out coldly.

"Alright, Captain Ailin is indeed more suitable than Vice-Captain Gosuke to become the 11th Division Captain. I'll also cast a vote for Captain Ailin." Shunsui Kyōraku was the one who proposed having 11th Division Vice Captain Gosuke become the 11th Division Captain, but no one expected that at this critical juncture between the two candidates, Shunsui Kyōraku actually chose to defect.

"Five."

For a long time, no one else spoke.

At this time, Commander-General Yamamoto regretted sending 2nd Division Captain Yoruichi Shihōin and 9th Division Captain Kensei Muguruma to escort Sōya Azashiro to the Central 46 Compound earlier.

During the rebellion instigated by Kōga Hoshino, the 9th Division and 7th Division could be said to have suffered the most crushing defeat among the 13 Divisions.

As the strongest captains of the Gotei 13, when faced with the rebellion instigated by Kōga, not only were they unable to suppress the rebellion, they were even defeated by Kōga. Even their Zanpakutō became accomplices of Kōga.

Fortunately, before their Zanpakutō could cause much damage to Seireitei, Ailin stepped forward. Not only did he defeat their Zanpakutō, even Kōga who instigated the rebellion was vanquished in battle against Ailin.

Therefore, Kensei Muguruma and Love Aikawa were very convinced by Ailin's strength. After losing their Bankai, the two of them were defeated by their own Zanpakutō. And the Zanpakutō that defeated them didn't even stir up much of a storm before Ailin, and were shattered by Ailin in just a few moves.

After Kōga’s rebellion ended, Kensei Muguruma and Love Aikawa both felt their strength was insufficient. While reforging their Zanpakutō, they also intensified their training in the four Shinigami combat techniques.

Love Aikawa trained in swordsmanship, while Kensei Muguruma trained in hakuda. Looking at it now, the strength of these two had indeed improved in recent years.

Love Aikawa had now cast a vote for Ailin. If Kensei Muguruma were also present, he would definitely cast a vote for Ailin too. Even the relationship between Yoruichi Shihōin and Ailin might result in another vote.

In that case, Ailin would not only receive recommendations from six captains but would also gain one more captain's support.

Following Haruko's chant, the ball of spiritual power at her fingertips transformed into a wind shockwave and shot out, shattering a tile placed on the table in front of her.

"Yay, I did it!"

Clap clap clap clap...

Ailin laughed and applauded, "Not bad, not bad. Haruko, you've already learned the first Hadō. Next, you needs to continue working hard to train and strive to master the first Hadō to the point of abandoning the incantation.

Once you completes casting the first demon art without incantation, I'll take you to find suitable opponents and let you start expelling evil spirits."

While encouraging Haruko, Ailin also dangled bait in front of her. As someone who had gone through this before, how could he not know the thoughts of a person after mastering superhuman powers?

Holding a straight tree branch could cause countless plants to bow their heads wherever one passed. Let alone having spiritual power, such a transcendent energy.

Sure enough, hearing Ailin say this, Haruko's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really? Ailin-kun, I can also expel evil spirits?"

"Of course!"

Ailin patted Haruko's head and doted, "You have already mastered spiritual power and learned demon arts, so naturally you can also use spiritual power to drive away evil spirits."

Mere evil spirits posed no threat before degenerating into Hollows.

"When you can cast demon arts above the tenth level without incantation, encountering low-level Hollows, you will also have a fighting chance."

"Mm, I'll work hard."

With Ailin's promise, Haruko trained very diligently in the following days. However, she didn't only practice the first Hadō to go out and expel evil spirits earlier. She also methodically practiced other Bakudō and higher-level demon arts.

After all, Haruko also knew that her main purpose in cultivating was to make Ailin worry less when he wasn't by her side. If she truly encountered danger, the Zanpakutō Ailin gave her would protect her. There was no need for her to fight yet.

Under Haruko's diligent training, in less than a month, she could already cast the first Hadō and first Bakudō without incantation. As for chanting, she had also become very proficient in demon arts below the fifth level.

"Ailin-kun..."

After shattering several tiles in front of Ailin with her hand, Haruko stared at Ailin with her watery eyes full of anticipation.

"Hahaha, I prepared it for you long ago." Ailin smiled, then returned to the house and handed Haruko a red and white miko outfit.

"From today onward, Miss Haruko, you are the miko of our Sakura Village."

"And I am the samurai who protects the miko!"
