Chapter 36: Fight! Boys
In the blink of an eye, the training time came on the fifteenth day.
During these fifteen days, the two teams played two matches against each other, with each winning and losing.
Moreover, during these fifteen days of hard training, the strength of these people has improved slightly.
But Yamabuki Ditang knew that a truly powerful army was not built through training but through fighting. An army that had never experienced actual combat could never become truly elite.
When they arrived at the training ground in the morning, Yamabuki Ditang did not reveal the content of today's training in advance but asked everyone to hand in their wooden swords.
"We won't be playing with wooden swords today! Everyone switch to real swords!" Yamabuki Detang waved his hand, and two students brought a neatly arranged row of Zanpakutō, one for each!
Many students were very excited as it was their first time to touch a real sword. They wondered if they would have to use real swords to fight in a competition.
"Let's have something real today. We won't have a competition. Let's go straight to the battlefield!" Yamabuki Ditang glanced at the students. Everyone's reactions were different. Some were horrified, some were calm, some were excited, and some were trembling!
"There are Hollows in the three northern districts of Rukongai. I will lead you to hunt them down. Remember, I will not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. Each team of five people will kill a Hollow and bring it to me. This is the content of today's assessment!" Yamabuki Ditang said, "Okay, let's go now!"
Many students came to Rukongai in the north.
The public security here is relatively chaotic. There are not only many cops but also many gangsters.
These hooligans are not the street thugs in modern society but real warriors with knives.
Many hooligans stared at the two girls in the team with greed in their eyes, but they did not dare to step forward because the other side was numerous and all carried weapons.
But there are always some people who are daring enough to do anything. Finally, a few hooligans couldn't control their excitement and wanted to kidnap the two girls on the team.
However, they underestimated the strength of the Gotei 13 members. After half a month of life-and-death torture, even the strength of ordinary members was far from comparable to these gangsters. Yamabuki quickly knocked the two gangsters to the ground and brought them in front of him.
"Instructor, does this person want to attack us? What should we do?" Suì Yuan asked.
Yamabuki Ditang looked at these gangsters coldly. Ever since Hanako was kidnapped last time, he had no good feelings towards these gangsters. It's just that there are too few people now. When the Gotei 13 have enough people in the future, they must rectify the law and order of the Rukongai.
Yamabuki casually drew out his Zanpakutō and chopped off the man's head with one blow!
Seeing such a bloody scene, half of the team members screamed in fear.
"Next time you meet someone like this, just deal with it this way. No need to report to me!" said Yamabuki Ditang.
From this moment on, the impression of Yamabuki Ditang in the minds of these team members has undergone a drastic change. Although Yamabuki Ditang used very harsh methods to train them, he was like an amiable big brother when they usually got along with each other!
But at this moment, that amiable image collapsed instantly.
Yamabuki Ditang casually flicked the blood off his knife and said to everyone, "Alright, divide into groups of five and start hunting down Hollows. Each team must bring back a Hollow corpse, and we must complete this before dark."
Yamabuki Ditang said very coldly, "Suì Yuan, your strength has also improved. I want you to hunt a Void by yourself. Is that ok?"
"Of course."
"Okay, let's start now!" Yamabuki Ditang shouted.
After everyone left, Yamabuki Ditang took out a small piece of hollow bait from his arms and gently flicked it into the air, causing it to explode.
He controlled the dosage very well and would only attract some scum. After all, his purpose was to train the team's bloodiness, not to destroy the team. If there really was a Hollow that these team members could not deal with, he would take action immediately.
…
Hollows smelled the scent, gathering from all directions.
Most of these new players are quite confident. After all, they are five against one, and they have been training for such a long time, so there shouldn't be any problems!
But when the first Hollows arrived, the team members discovered that real fighting was completely different from normal training. The slightest negligence would result in death or injury!
Faced with the real Hollows, many people are frightened and cannot even display half of their strength.
Suddenly, the Rukongai in this area fell into chaos.
Yamabuki Ditang felt the spiritual pressure of every student.
In fact, he also knew that casualties in combat were inevitable, but now they were not real fighters, they were only trainees. If someone really suffered a fatal blow, he would definitely help.
However, the facts proved that Yamabuki Ditang still underestimated his students.
Indeed, there may be fear at the beginning of the fight, but after these team members accept the setting of "either you die or I die," they gradually begin to exert their strength stably and learn how to cooperate with multiple people.
In fact, with their current strength, they may not be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight against these miscellaneous Hollows. Let five of them fight one. Yamabuki Ditang has already taken good care of them.
Soon, the first team came back. The five men were covered in blood, carrying Hollows's body with a look of pride on their faces.
The second one to come back was Suì Yuan. His strength was far above that of ordinary team members, and he successfully killed a Void on his own.
As time went by, more and more team members returned. Of course, many of them were injured. After all, it was the first real fight.
Yamabuki Ditang used Chiyudo to help these people heal their wounds.
In the end, only one team remained.
It is already dusk.
Yamabuki Ditang closed his eyes and felt the spiritual pressure of these five people. Suddenly, the spiritual pressure of one of the five people was gone.
Yamabuki Ditang suddenly opened his eyes.
What happened? Why is there a reduction in staff?
"Suì Yuan, I'll take you back first." Yamabuki Ditang shouted and then quickly moved towards the direction of the five people.
Not long after running, Yamabuki Ditang saw the figures of these students. They were covered in blood, and there were two empty corpses on the ground.
The most seriously injured person was a girl. Her chest was pierced directly. She lay on the ground with her eyes closed, motionless.
Yamabuki Ditang frowned. The thing he least wanted to see happened.
"What's going on?" Yamabuki Ditang shouted.
A boy choked up and said, "We had already completed the mission and were heading back, but suddenly a Hollow appeared and attacked us...Kano...she..."
Yamabuki Ditang hurriedly checked the girl's injuries. Half of the bone blade was inserted from the girl's back and came out from the chest. If she was not rescued quickly, the girl would die in a few minutes at most.
