"Hadō #31. Shakkahō."
Kyōraku Shunsui looked at the giant Hollow, raised his hand, and released a ball of red fire. The fireball struck the giant Hollow, severely injuring it. He then drew his sword and finished it with a single slash.
Shin glanced over, then lost interest. It was only Hadō #31—its power wasn't that great. Shin wanted to obtain powerful Kido.
To get his hands on nurous Kido, one way was to earn them through rit, but that was a slow process.
Shin wanted to find another way—by going to the Great Spirit Book Gallery. It was located under the Central 46 Chambers.
It was a massive archive that recorded all of the Soul Society's major events and secrets from ancient tis to the present, and it definitely had records of Kido.
It would even have information on forbidden Kido, and from there, he could also learn so of the Soul Society's secrets.
Of course, it wouldn't have any secrets about the Soul King. Shin didn't want to know anyway—he already knew what the Soul King was.
If there was one character in Bleach who had it the worst, it was the so-called Soul King. He'd been turned into little more than a limbless trunk.
Shin didn't know all the secrets, of course. Bleach had many plot holes, especially concerning the Soul King.
But from what was shown, the Soul King's fate was absolutely tragic.
The Nominal God, in reality, was just a tool. The Zero Division probably just guarded this tool.
At this mont, Shin was considering how to get into the Great Spirit Book Gallery. It wouldn't be easy, especially since Shin wanted to sneak in without being discovered.

"What is that massive spiritual pressure?"
Just as Shin was pondering this, Kyōraku Shunsui's voice snapped him back to reality. He looked up at a giant figure in the distance.
The spiritual pressure was strong, not much weaker than Kyōraku Shunsui's beside him.
"A Gillian-class nos??"
Though it was his first ti seeing one, Shin recognized it imdiately. Its features were too distinct.
A massive black body, a long, clown-like nose, a white mask, and a huge hole in its body—a cannon fodder character from Hueco Mundo.
Though it was cannon fodder, it couldn't be underestimated. Even the now-Vice-Captain Shunsui looked tense—he had never fought a Gillian before.
Having just beco a Vice-Captain not long ago, Kyōraku Shunsui was a little nervous seeing a Gillian.
Shin glanced at Shunsui, wondering if he could actually handle a Gillian.
Shunsui's spiritual pressure was a bit stronger than the Gillian's. With his Zanpakutō and various techniques, dealing with a Gillian shouldn't be too difficult.
"YOU GUYS, GET OUT OF HERE."
Kyōraku Shunsui shouted to the students.
"Shin, could you help out?"
After shouting at the students, Kyōraku Shunsui turned to Shin, making him feel a bit helpless.
"I'm just a student. Why are you asking for help?"
"Shin, now's not the ti for jokes. To be honest, this is my first ti facing a Gillian. I'm not confident. I hope you can help out. I know your strength can definitely help."
Thinking of how Shin had killed a strong Hollow with a single slash, even a giant Hollow would be no match for him.
He should be able to hold his own against a Gillian. Besides, Kyōraku Shunsui wouldn't let Shin be the main attacker—he just wanted him as support.
"Alright, I'll do my best to help," Shin nodded to Kyōraku Shunsui.
"You all leave quickly, and rember to report this," Kyōraku Shunsui shouted to the Soul Reaper students running towards the Senkaimon.
The Senkaimon was the transportation tool for Soul Reapers to travel between the World of the Living and the Soul Society. Passing through it would take them directly back to the Seireitei, very convenient.
"WE KNOW, VICE-CAPTAIN KYŌRAKU. BE CAREFUL."
"Sigh, why am I so unlucky? To encounter sothing like this on my first ti supervising an exam," Kyōraku Shunsui sighed.
Gillian-class nos, though common in Hueco Mundo, were generally not seen in the World of the Living.
"It's starting to attack. You should be careful," Shin reminded Kyōraku Shunsui.
This guy seed a bit unreliable. Was he going to have to step in?
Though to Shin, a Gillian was just trash he could kill with a wave of his hand, he didn't want to reveal too much of his strength yet.
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer——Katen Kyōkotsu!"
Kyōraku Shunsui's Zanpakutō transford into a pair of dual blades, one long and one short. His spiritual pressure now completely surpassed the Gillian's.
'Should I copy Katen Kyōkotsu?' Shin glanced at Kyōraku Shunsui's Zanpakutō.
Kyōraku Shunsui's Katen Kyōkotsu wasn't weak, especially when the enemy didn't know its abilities. It was quite powerful.
Katen Kyōkotsu's Shikai ability was to make children's gas a reality. Anyone who stepped into its spiritual pressure range was forced to participate in the ga, and all rules were set by Katen Kyōkotsu.
Win and you live, lose and you die, even the master of the Zanpakutō, Shunsui, was no exception.
But the ga wasn't completely fair. Since the wielder knew the rules better than the enemy and could change the ga at any ti, the wielder had an advantage.
"Takaoni."
Kyōraku Shunsui looked at the Gillian and flew up.
The rule of Takaoni was that whoever was higher up wins. At this mont, Kyōraku Shunsui, treading on a path of spirit particles in the sky, was naturally higher than the Gillian.
With a single slash, his power enhanced, he clashed with the Gillian's Cero, instantly cutting through it and striking the Gillian's body.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
"So it wasn't as strong as I thought..." Kyōraku Shunsui couldn't help but say.
————————
"Not bad..." Shin evaluated Kyōraku Shunsui. His current strength was definitely greater than that of an average captain.
Just as he finished his evaluation, Kyōraku Shunsui was suddenly sent flying. A red Cero struck him, completely stunning him.
"What's going on? How can it fire two Ceros in a row?"
Kyōraku Shunsui looked a bit miserable, his eyes filled with disbelief.
A Gillian's Cero was a powerful attack, but it was slow to gather and release, making it easy to dodge.
How could it fire another Cero so soon after the first?
"This Gillian isn't simple. Is it a mutation?"
Shin also looked at the Gillian with curiosity, but he wasn't too surprised. Among so many Hollows, there were bound to be a few special ones.
Weren't there a few special Hollows in the original story?
However, the power of the second Cero was clearly not as strong as the first. Otherwise, even if Kyōraku Shunsui wasn't killed, he would have been severely injured.
"This Gillian is smarter than other Gillians. It's running away," Shin reminded Kyōraku Shunsui.
Perhaps because it felt it was no match for Kyōraku Shunsui, even after injuring him, the Gillian ran.
Kyōraku Shunsui was stunned again. This was the first ti he had seen a fleeing nos.
