Chapter 10: Retsu Unohana's Teaching Method

In the Shino Academy, Kendo Dojo.

Yu Mikami sat on the floor in a somewhat unstandard posture, a bamboo sword in front of him.

In a daze, it felt as if he had returned to yesterday afternoon.

He couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

How did he end up here when he was supposed to be having a healing lesson?

Half an hour ago, he was in the classroom gathering up the rabbits used for healing, when Retsu Unohana suddenly spoke.

"Students, I just checked, and the teacher for the next Hakudou class is also sick, so I'll be taking another lesson."

"However, since I'm not very skilled in Hakudou, we'll change it to a swordsmanship class."

"Please take a ten-minute break and then gather in the Kendo Dojo~"

Yu Mikami couldn't help but feel confused upon hearing Retsu Unohana's words.

He had been standing right next to her, so how did he not know that the teacher had suddenly fallen ill?

If his P.E. teacher from before his transmigration had seen this scene, he would surely feel a strong sense of connection, right?

Thus, after a brief break, the students of Class Seven made their way to the Kendo Dojo.

With eager eyes, the students watched as Retsu Unohana slowly walked to the front of the dojo.

Holding the bamboo sword in her hand, her aura seemed to have changed slightly.

Earlier, when she was in the healing classroom, Retsu Unohana exuded a gentle, tranquil aura.

Now, however, it seemed as if she bore a hint of sharpness.

"Everyone, the Zanjutsu class begins now."

"Since I am not familiar with your current learning pace, today's lesson will be a little special."

"From now on, I will have each of you come up one by one to spar with me. This way, I can assess your levels and identify any issues."

"Let's start with this student here."

Before the students could react, Retsu Unohana was already smiling and looking at a student in a blue and white uniform.

The student was slightly taken aback, then quickly got up, holding the bamboo sword as he walked over.

Watching this scene, Yamada Senosuke felt a bit puzzled.

"What's going on here… isn't the 4th Division a team that evaluates abilities based on their healing skills?"

"If we're talking about healing, I have no doubt about Captain Unohana's abilities, but Zanjutsu… she wouldn't be giving misguided advice, would she?"

"If she's not professional enough, it might lead students to develop bad habits they shouldn't have."

Upon hearing this, Sōjun Kuchiki wore a somewhat strange smile.

"You don't need to worry about that, Shinjirō."

"Captain Unohana is the holder of the Seireitei Kendo Dan Certificate, level 10."

Yamada Senosuke's expression stiffened.

"What?!"

Bang!!!

As he voiced his confusion, Retsu Unohana effortlessly blocked the student's attacks with ease, then lightly raised her hand to deflect his bamboo sword.

Then, she set the bamboo sword down and said gently, "You're too focused on your upper body and neglecting the use of your footwork. In the future, while training your strength, be sure to practice coordinating with your footwork, aiming to instinctively blend footwork with Zanjutsu."

Upon hearing Retsu Unohana's words, the student showed a look of realization and quickly nodded, bowing in gratitude toward Retsu Unohana.

Next, the second student stepped up.

After a few exchanges, Retsu Unohana easily subdued him.

"Your sword swing form isn't standard enough. You haven't been focused enough during your knife drills, which has caused your movements to become distorted… While this might not seem significant during regular training, as your strength increases, a weak foundation can lead to increasingly serious consequences. Please remember this."

Hearing these words, the second student looked somewhat surprised.

He did tend to get a bit lazy during his knife drills, a fact that even Muneyoshi had not noticed.

He never expected that after just a few exchanges today, Captain Unohana would spot the issue immediately!

He hurriedly bent down, saying, "Thank you very much for your guidance. I will remember it!"

As the third, fourth, and more students went up, each quickly fell to defeat while receiving very targeted advice, Yamada Senosuke's gaze gradually took on an expression of interest.

Aizen stepped forward, holding a bamboo sword, and engaged with Retsu Unohana. After four or five exchanges, he was defeated.

Looking at the young man standing before her, with a calm expression and showing no signs of frustration from his loss, Retsu Unohana displayed an approving look.

"Your fundamentals are very solid, and your responses during the sparring were excellent. Please continue to train diligently as you have been; I look forward to your future development."

Aizen slightly bowed. "Thank you for your guidance."

Hearing Retsu Unohana's praise for Aizen, the other students showed surprised expressions.

From the start of class until now, it seemed that Captain Unohana had never praised a student so comprehensively.

Sōsuke Aizen… This person, who usually kept a low profile, lacked presence, and was primarily known as part of "Yu Mikami's faction," actually had genuine skill?

Seeing Aizen walking back, Yu Mikami was a bit surprised. "When did you suddenly show some strength?"

Aizen knelt down beside him and said helplessly, "It's not just 'some' strength; I've used all my power."

Yu Mikami grinned. "You say that for real, and I'll take you at your word."

Upon hearing this, Aizen turned to him, curious.

"Mikami, why are you so insistent that I'm hiding my strength?"

Yu Mikami confidently raised his head and replied, "Sōsuke, my understanding of you goes far beyond what you can imagine. No one knows Sōsuke Aizen better than I do."

Seeing Yu Mikami so full of confidence, Aizen couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He could see that this guy really had confidence and believed he wasn't just bragging.

So where did this confidence come from?

Could it be, as Yu Mikami said, that he truly had seen through him, knowing everything about him?

...How could that be?

While Aizen was lost in thought, at the head of the dojo, Sōjun Kuchiki and Retsu Unohana had already entered into a fierce battle.

Unlike all the previous students, Sōjun Kuchiki displayed the qualities expected of a noble heir when faced with a powerhouse like Retsu Unohana.

He gripped the bamboo sword tightly, his entire being appeared as an incredibly precise machine, swiftly blocking every strike from Retsu Unohana at a speed nearly impossible to catch, while seizing every opportunity to launch his own attacks against her.

Retsu Unohana's goal was to assess the students' levels, not to defeat them, so she limited her strength to a certain range.

Faced with Sōjun Kuchiki's flawless combination of offense and defense, she had not felt such joy in battle for quite a while.

After a few exchanges, she seized an opportunity and executed a swift counter cut, knocking Sōjun Kuchiki's bamboo sword flying.

Looking at the handsome young man before her, she nodded.

"Mr. Ginrei truly has an excellent heir now."

Upon hearing this, Sōjun Kuchiki was momentarily taken aback.

Then, he deeply bowed.
