章節 3: Chapter 003: Aizen Invited Me To Soul Society!
Although it has been more than a hundred years, since knowing what this world is, Mazuru has been thinking back to the plots he is familiar with from time to time. After all, for him at that time, the details and settings in these plots may be the key to his survival.
Therefore, after seeing this figure at this moment, especially after the other person's appearance is very similar to someone in his memory, he couldn't help but shudder, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Sure enough, his guess was right.
This group of upgraded Gillian were artificially spawned.
And there is only one person who would do such a thing in Hueco Mundo.
Aizen Sōsuke!
Aizen noticed the change in Mazuru's expression at this moment. He was very interested and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?"
Aizen didn't seem to care that Mazuru didn't answer his previous question.
When Mazuru heard Aizen's words, his thoughts flickered and soon he gave the answer.
He knew that in front of a person like Aizen who is extremely good at manipulating people's hearts, the longer the silence, the easier it is for him to see the clues.
So he opted for a half-truth.
"You should be a Shinigami, right?"
Looking at Aizen, Mazuru said, without waiting for Aizen to answer, he said again: "About a hundred years ago, when I first came here, I met a person who called himself Shinigami, he said, after I appeared in this world, it is easy to become something called 'hollow', so, in order to prevent problems before they happen, he decided to give me something called soul cleansing"
"At that time, he took out a sword and prepared to attack me."
(T.N note : In case anybody thought that 'soul cleansing' referred to touch the soul's forehead with their zanpakuto's hilt and send him/her to Soul Society then you were wrong. Though it is indeed the correct way of soul cleansing but the previous shinigami was referring to clean him up by directly killing him which also explains his nature)
"It's just that before he hacked me to death, the things around me, um, should be the 'hollow' in his mouth. He was besieged to death. After he died, I picked up his sword."
After a pause, Mazuru changed his tone again, "So, are you planning to kill me too?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Aizen asked Mazuru back.
Mazuru didn't answer.
Aizen found it very interesting, and said to Mazuru, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
"However, that dead Shinigami was right, you are really not suitable to stay in this kind of place, even though you have lived here for more than a hundred years."
Mazuru said with a little self-mockery: "But, if I don't stay in this kind of place, where else can I go?"
"Over the years, I've been walking around here, and all I see is the vast expanse of yellow sand and these towering white trees."
"You can go to the Soul Society with me." Aizen said.
"Soul Society?" Mazuru looked at Aizen pretending to be puzzled.
"This is the residence of the hollows, called Hueco Mundo. A soul with spiritual power like you should enter the Soul Society. You have been in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years. Without orthodox teaching, you can kill Menos Grande alone, if you enter the Soul Society, it won't take long before you can become a Shinigami."
"Shinigami? It sounds like a name for a god? It's just that a god is transformed from a soul? Not a natural achievement?" After rarely meeting a knowledgeable person, Mazuru seems to have a lot of doubts.
(T.L Note : For confused people Shinigami literally means 'god of death')
Aizen listened to Mazuru's words, coupled with his previous remarks, he seemed to believe that he was a soul that strayed into Hueco Mundo but did not become hollow.
In order to maintain the image of a good old man, he immediately popularized common sense about Hueco Mundo and Soul Society to Mazuru.
Mazuru nodded again and again, looking suddenly enlightened.
After Aizen finished talking, he said to Mazuru: "That Shinigami should be an expeditionary force back then, and the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force were all Shinigami who made mistakes. They couldn't return to the Soul Society under normal circumstances, so he didn't even think about sending you into the Soul Society, but I'm different, so, have you thought about it? Do you want to follow me back to the Soul Society?"
Mazuru didn't hesitate for too long, although he knew that Aizen appeared in front of him with ulterior motives, but since this person has noticed him, he can't hide even if he wants to, so instead of avoiding, it's better to use this opportunity to follow Aizen to Soul Society.
"I've already made up my mind to follow you to the Soul Society."
Mazuru looked at Aizen and said calmly.
Then, another question came to mind, "By the way, what should I call you?"
"My name is Aizen Sōsuke."
"Then I'll call you Mr. Aizen."
As he spoke, he greeted Aizen, "Mr. Aizen, my name is Kyo Mazuru, its a pleasure to be your acquaintance, please take care of me in the future"
Aizen was taken aback for a moment, a faint smile formed on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't respond to Mazuru.
...
Soul Society, just like the literal meaning, this is a world of the dead. People who died in the present world, their souls either fell into Hueco Mundo and turned into hollows, or were sent by Shinigami to Soul Society.
This world is divided into two areas, named Seireitei and Rukongai. Seireitei is located in the center of the Soul Society, where Shinigami and nobles live. As for Rukongai, it is a place where ordinary souls live.
There is a strict hierarchy in the Soul Society. Although the soul life is very similar to the present world, it is still bound by this hierarchy. Compared with the real hierarchy, this place is extremely strict. Also, no one in the Soul Society can live forever, souls age at a slower rate than in the present world, and eventually die, and souls may also die of illness or be killed. It is said that the souls who died in the Soul Society will return to the present world.
It's just that nobody knows who said this statement, and whether it is reliable or not remains to be verified.
But one thing is certain, that is, in the highly hierarchical world of Soul Society, except for the so-called nobles, people with real status and power are Shinigami.
In Soul Society, to become a Shinigami, although there are no status requirements, there is a prerequisite. That is—spiritual power!
Spiritual power means aptitude, which is similar to the spiritual root in Xiuxian novels. Without spiritual power, one cannot become a Shinigami.
If you want to judge whether a soul has spiritual power, the easiest way is whether his stomach is hungry. Ordinary souls can satisfy their hunger by relying on clear water every day, but souls with spiritual power, because they have not learned to absorb the reishi in air in a systematic way, as the spiritual power in the body is consumed by exercise, they will be in a state of hunger, and they will need to eat.
Well, it is worth mentioning that all the substances in the Soul Society are formed by spiritual particles, so the so-called eating is actually a disguised form of replenishing spiritual power.
Mazuru has been in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years, relying on his own exploration, he has learned some superficial methods of using spiritual power. There is no doubt that he has the qualifications to become a Shinigami. On the way Aizen even commented that Mazuru has the appearance of a captain.
But he doesn't know how Aizen has the confidence to say this, because as far as he knows, Aizen is not a captain at the moment, but just a vice-captain.
After bringing Mazuru to the Soul Society, Aizen did not directly bring him into Seireitei, but placed him in Rukongai. In Aizen's words, Mazuru's background is very problematic. He will stay in Rukongai for a while.
He will pretend to be an ordinary wandering soul, and then wait until the Shinō Academy (Shinōreijutsuin; literally "Spiritual Arts Academy") starts enrolling students. After that he will go and sign up for the academy and study there for a while. Anyway, with Mazuru's qualifications, he should be able to graduate soon.
After graduation, he will arrange the follow-up path for Mazuru.
Don't think that Aizen is very nice to Mazuru, but in fact, he also warned Mazuru a little bit, especially Mazuru's hundred years in Hueco Mundo. An ordinary wandering soul who has not gone through orthodox studies, even if he has the qualifications to become a Shinigami, Aizen can't deal with this matter alone. One person has lived in the forest of Menos Grande for more than a hundred years, the matter is very problematic in itself.
It's best not to talk about these things, if outsiders know about it, even if Aizen is a vice-captain of Gotei 13, he won't be able to keep him.
Mazuru immediately promised that he would never tell these things to the outside world!
In this way, Mazuru started his Soul Society career.
