Chapter 144: Sending the Sheep into the Tiger's Mouth
Receiving the rotten wood silver bell, the great noble family master of the corpse soul realm, can't be as casual as receiving other people.
Ethan ushered him into the reception room, and waited quietly for the tea and snacks to be arranged, during which the two men sat opposite each other without saying a word, almost like a sculpture without moving.
After the tea and snacks were ready, Ethan made a gesture of invitation as the host, and after the rotten wood silver bell symbolically took a sip of hot tea, the two officially began to talk.
Ethan is not a nobleman, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand these rules, and after becoming a Grim Reaper, he can more or less understand these things, and he also knows how to deal with these real nobles.
Don't look at the night of Sifeng Courtyard There is usually no aristocratic appearance, in fact, she understands all those rules, and occasionally sees Sifeng Courtyard Yeyi receiving other nobles, Ethan has already learned all those 'rules'.
"I'm curious, why is Captain Rotten looking for me?"
The intention of the rotten wood silver bell has been mentioned before, and this conversation is to talk about specific details.
"Captain Uno Hana has a high opinion of Captain Ethan. ”
Unlike the four maple courtyards, who only maintain an aristocratic demeanor when needed, the rotten wood silver bell is the kind of person who engraves the aristocratic demeanor and rules in his bones, even if no one sees it, he will perfectly maintain the aristocratic image.
"Is that so?" Ethan paused for a moment, pondering the language in his mind, and found that he was really not good at talking in circles, so he simply cut straight to the topic: "There should be no shortage of teachers in the Kuchimu family, right?"
As one of the four nobles, there is certainly no shortage of teachers in the Kuchigi family, and no matter what you want to learn, you can find a teacher who is even better than the Mao Spiritual Academy, or teach one-on-one.
"Those guys don't have the strength of Captain Ethan. ”
The rotten wood silver bell maintained the same expression from beginning to end, and even the sitting posture never changed, except for the first sip of tea, and the hands were always firmly on the lap.
"Captain Kuchigi is overrated. ”
Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be anything bad, as for why the rotten wood silver bell is looking for herself? Ethan can probably guess it.
As Ethan said, there is no shortage of teachers in the Kuchigi family, and the Kuchigi family does not need to worry about education at all if they want to train their offspring.
But there is one problem that cannot be ignored: Kuchigi Yinling is not young, and he may step down from the position of captain of the Rokuban team at any time, and it can even be said that it is not surprising that the current head of the Kuchigi family will suddenly die one day.
The longevity of the Grim Reaper is related to the strength of the spiritual pressure, such as Yamamoto Shigekuni has lived for an unknown number of years, although he is already an old man in appearance, he is still alive and can easily beat most young people to death.
Uno Hanari is also not young, but the strong spiritual pressure allows her to maintain her young and beautiful appearance.
There is also the Hibanya Winter Shilang who was born with amazing spiritual pressure, because the spiritual pressure is too strong, it becomes very difficult to grow up, and he always looks like a Zhengtai.
Although the strength of the rotten wood silver bell is not bad, it is also an ordinary captain-level strength, and you can know from his appearance that he is already very old, and his spiritual pressure is not up to the level of Yamamoto Shigekuni and Uno Hanari, and he has entered the last years of his life.
In addition, as the heir of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Cangchun, although his brain is very smart and kind, he is very respected by the members of the Liuban team, but unfortunately he is limited by his congenital poor physical fitness, and it is difficult to grow his strength, and even become the vice captain of the Liuban team, more because the Liuban team has been controlled by the Kuchiki family for a long time, and the Kuchiki Cangchun is already the next captain of the Liuban team.
But can Kuchigi Sojun, who is not very strong, be able to stay in the position of the captain of the Rokuban team safely? After all, the Grim Reaper is a profession that emphasizes hard power, and Kuchiki Ginsuzu has to start thinking about things further.
Find the current captain of the 13th team of the court to be a teacher for his grandson Kuchigi Hakuya, even if it is only in name, so that the Kuchigi family can take care of the 13th team of the court.
In this way, after he retires or dies, Kuchiki Cangchun can still have someone to turn to when he encounters trouble at work...... If Kuchigi Cangjun encounters any accidents, Kuchigi Hakuya at least knows who to ask if he encounters something he doesn't understand.
Once the Rotten Wood Silver Bell and the Rotten Wood Sojun are gone, the Rotten Wood Hakuya needs to grow up faster and take over the responsibilities of the head of the Rotten Wood family and the captain of the Sixth Team, there is no need to worry about family affairs, there are enough people who can teach the Rotten Wood Hakuya how to become a qualified family leader, and the Thirteenth Team of the Guardian Court will have to rely on Ethan's guidance.
As for why Ethan was chosen?
Yamamoto Shigekuni has confiscated students for a long time, and the Kuchigi family, as a great nobleman, sent the next head of the family to Yamamoto Shigekuni as a student, even if it is only in name, it is too eye-catching.
In a way, there is a contradiction between the nobles of the Corpse Soul Realm and Yamamoto Shigekuni and the Thirteenth Team of the Imperial Court, so Yamamoto Shigekuni is not suitable.
Uno Flower Lie has seniority and strength, but Uno Flower Rye is unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, so she won't agree. has been the captain for so many years, and the rotten wood silver bell is very sure of this.
Removing the same Yamamoto Shigekoku lineage, Kyoraku Harusui and Ukitake Shijuro, there are not many people who can choose from Kuchigi Ginsuzu, among which Ethan's situation is the most suitable - he has a good relationship with the contemporary head of the Sifeng family, Yoichi, but he is not a nobleman, which means that there is no connection.
The most important thing is that Ethan is very outstanding in the basic abilities of the god of death such as instant step, ghost path, swordsmanship, and white fighting, especially the foundation is solid enough, please ask him to be Bai Ya's teacher, don't worry about Bai Ya's learning.
While Ethan was thinking about these things, the rotten wood silver bell still sat quietly, and there was no impatience in the slightest.
"There seems to be no reason to refuse. ”
It wasn't until Ethan said this sentence that the rotten wood silver bell reacted slightly, nodded slightly, and then he began to discuss with Ethan: Is it a formal apprenticeship, or a random pointer?
Ethan knew that Kuchigi Yinling was politely mentioning, and it was estimated that he didn't want Kuchigi Hakuya to really worship him as a teacher in his heart.
"It doesn't have to be so formal. ”
Sure enough, Kuchigi Yinling simply stopped mentioning this topic, and then made an appointment with Ethan to bring Shiraya to the Juban team to meet him as a teacher in two days - this can be regarded as giving Ethan face, not asking Ethan to go to the Kuchigi family mansion to give guidance.
Anyway, he's also the captain of the Juban team, and Kuchiki Silver Bell won't do such a rude thing.
The matter was negotiated, and the rotten wood silver bell said goodbye and left, Ethan directly sent the senior to the gate of the Juban team building, and then watched the dead wood silver bell slowly disappear from sight.
Zhiba, who didn't know where to hide, suddenly appeared, and then looked at his captain curiously.
"Captain, you agreed?"
"I kind of agreed!"
"That kid from the Rotten Wood family wants to worship you as a teacher?"
"Not officially. Ethan glanced at his vice-captain, the Zhibo family is also a great nobleman in the corpse soul realm, but Zhibo is not a member of the sect family, but the head of the split family: "After all, that is the future head of the Rotten Wood family." ”
"The Rotten Wood Family!"
The two of them stood at the door for a while and then turned around and went back, this thing is nothing, it is estimated that the Kuchigi family will not be able to hype it up, maybe many people will not know that they are going to be a teacher for Kuchigi Hakuya.
Things were similar to Ethan's guess, and within two days, Kuchigi Silver Suzu brought Kuchigi Shiraya to the Juban team building, allowing Ethan to meet his students.
Except for a very small number of people, no news spread that the Kuchigi family had found Ethan to be a teacher for Hakuya.
Looking at the still immature Kuchigi Hakuya in front of him, Ethan felt that this job should be quite interesting, just to pass the boring time.
"Come over after lunch every day, and for how long you study...... It's up to you to perform. ”
Although Kuchigi Hakuya looked reluctant, but in front of his grandfather, he didn't dare to be too rude, it was not to embarrass himself, but to discredit the Kuchigi family.
"From now on, I'm going to trouble Captain Ethan!"
What Ethan didn't expect was that Kuchigi Hakuya's father, Kuchigi Cangjun, also came, and saluted Ethan very solemnly, as if Kuchigi Hakuya was going to officially worship Ethan as a teacher, and it was still the honor of their Kuchigi family to be able to let Kuchigi Hakuya worship under Ethan's door.
Kuchiki Cangchun was so polite, which made Ethan feel very comfortable.
"That's so polite. ”
Looking at the man in front of him who was almost exactly the same as Kuchigi Hakuya, but with a gentle smile on his face forever, Ethan suddenly became curious, if Kuchiki Cangjun hadn't sacrificed, would Kuchigi Hakuya still turn into a big ice cube in the future?
Turning his gaze back, Ethan looked at Shiraya Rotten again.
"How should I teach it?"
Because of Kuchigi's pure performance, Ethan began to think about seriously teaching Kuchigi Hakuya something, but if he deviated from Kuchigi Hakuya's painting style...... Thinking about that scene, it seems to be quite funny.
"Let's start with the basics!"
Kuchigi Silver Suzu and Kuchigi Sojun said hello and left, and only Ethan and Kuchigi Hakuya and Shiba Ichishin, who was watching the excitement on the side, were left in this dojo: Captain, finally stopped torturing me!
"Let me see how your foundation is first. ”
Kuchigi Hakuya held a bamboo knife in his hand, posed honestly and waved it.
"Stop!"
Suddenly Hanting's rotten wood Hakuya was full of wonder, and he didn't understand what he had done wrong?
"It's not this kind of basic posture practice, with the resources of the Kuchimu family, I believe you have already finished learning the basics!" Ethan casually turned the bamboo knife in his hand, pinched his waist with his left hand and pointed at Kuchigi Baiya very casually: "What I want to see is whether you have turned that knowledge into something that truly belongs to you." ”
The bamboo knife in his hand lightly clicked, as if he was signaling to Bai Zai: Come!
Seeing Ethan's action, Kuchigi Hakuya immediately understood what Ethan meant, at this time, Kuchigi Hakuya was at a time when the sky was not afraid of the earth, and he had the opportunity to fight against the captain of the Juban team, and he suddenly felt that it was interesting to find this teacher.
But soon he changed his mind: being hung and beaten unilaterally or something, it was not interesting at all!
