'Apotheosis: You will become a God.' For Aizen, whose characteristic was personally certified as 'God' by the author, this ability seemed to be expected.
Gao Yu was naturally very enthusiastic about this ability. He couldn't wait to possess it, but Aizen Sōsuke was a man even more dangerous than Ichimaru Gin.
Ichimaru Gin's favorability towards him was at least a single digit, while Aizen Sōsuke's favorability towards him was... 0!
It could be said that there was no favorability at all.
Favorability could be negative; he had also seen a guy who disliked him more, and that guy's favorability towards him was -20.
But Aizen Sōsuke neither disliked nor liked him; it was just a flat 0.
It was like a God not caring about mortals; even if his appearance was kind, he wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations towards you.
Because to Aizen, he must be like an ant. He was far inferior to Renji, Kira, and Hinamori. At least these three would make Aizen think, 'They have use.'
And he himself was like an ant, completely failing to attract his attention.
For such a person, getting his ability was simply too difficult.
But Aizen's ability was truly powerful; using it would allow one to become a God. How powerful and tempting must such an ability be?
No, he must find a way to befriend Aizen!
Soul Society, I'm sorry, I'm joining Aizen's faction!
Gao Yu fell into deep thought.
As for the other seated officers, even if their names didn't appear in the original work, they all had their own abilities.
Gao Yu naturally wanted to acquire the abilities of these people, so after cultivating for a period, he found the Sixth Seat, who was in charge of their training, to chat.
The Sixth Seat was named Tanimoto Toru, and his ability was 'Destructive Death Ray'.
'Destructive Death Ray: Releases a black destructive ray from the fingertip. The destructive ray will ignore defenses and penetrate the opponent's body parts.'
This ability was the offensive ability Gao Yu needed most right now, and he happened to be the captain of his squad. Their relationship was already good, so Gao Yu simply chatted with him for a while and raised his favorability to sixty.
Then he got his hands on this one-time Destructive Death Ray.
When it was time to get off work, he returned home in a good mood, buying some small wine along the way.
The Gao Yu Family was also a lower-ranking noble family in the past. Their house was still very large, with a huge front yard that contained two trees. One was...
Well, both were persimmon trees.
Although the house was large, Gao Yu was the only one in the family.
Gao Yu carried some food and drinks back home, then turned on the lights in the room.
Although it wasn't dark yet, turning on the lights was absolutely necessary.
Because a group of Quincy who spied constantly hid in the shadows of the Seireitei. Although it was highly unlikely that Quincy would pay attention to a small fry like him, the thought of being monitored still made Gao Yu feel very insecure.
So he was accustomed to walking in places without shadows, and when he returned home, he would turn on the lights to ensure there was no darkness around him.
From today on, he would even sleep with the lights on.
After returning home, Gao Yu took out a book on Kido techniques and began to read it.
As a descendant of a noble family, the original owner had wanted to revitalize the family, but unfortunately, his inherent talent was limited, and no matter how hard he tried, he remained too mediocre.
However, there were many study books in his home.
About half an hour after returning home, Renji arrived with Kira and Hinamori, and Gao Yu greeted them warmly.
"Come, come, come, I just bought a pot of wine, let's drink together."
Gao Yu happily took out the wine and food he bought, then said to Hinamori, "Hinamori, if you don't drink, I also specially bought 'Dorayaki Monaka' for you."
"Dorayaki Monaka?" Hinamori Momo's eyes lit up. "Wow, that's very expensive! Senior Gao Yu, aren't you spending too much?"
Dorayaki Monaka was a popular snack in Soul Society, similar to chocolate liqueurs. The filling in Dorayaki Monaka was made from sake lees, and premium sake lees were used.
Although it tasted very good, the alcohol content was also very high. If one had a low tolerance for alcohol, they might get drunk after eating just one piece.
"Senior Gao Yu is very rich, Hinamori, you don't have to worry about him," Renji said casually. "But isn't it a bit bad to exercise after drinking?"
"Of course, so I'll guide you first."
After speaking, Gao Yu activated the 'Strict Teacher Produces Outstanding Students' ability. While the ability was active, he could easily see how others should improve.
And those he taught would also receive a powerful learning buff. The ability lasted for three days, and Gao Yu believed that during this time, he would definitely gain the friendship of Hinamori and Kira.
Gao Yu led the three into the courtyard and began to teach them.
"Zan, Quan, Zou, Gui are the most basic skills for a Shinigami, but as a Shinigami, it's inevitable to have strengths and weaknesses. Renji, I'm most familiar with you, so I know you're not good at Kido."
Gao Yu first said to Renji, "Therefore, I will first teach you how to improve your Zanjutsu."
"You two can also watch. Although everyone has their own way of progressing, 'the stone of another mountain can polish jade.' There's a lot you can learn from what I teach Renji."
The three nodded excitedly, and Renji also pulled out his Zanpakuto. Since he hadn't learned Shikai yet, the sword was still in its most ordinary Zanpakuto form.
After activating the ability, Gao Yu immediately discovered some incorrect force application points on Renji. He then seriously began to teach.
Under Gao Yu's guidance, many things that were not understood in school were resolved. Renji finally realized that this senior he patrolled with seemed to be truly 'deeply hidden'.
Even the teachers who were originally seated officers in school couldn't pinpoint his problems so accurately!
Renji's Favorability: 73
In a short time, Renji's favorability had already surpassed seventy. Gao Yu was secretly excited and began to teach even more diligently.
After Renji, it was Kira Iziru and Hinamori Momo. Kira Iziru was the top student in Class One, a rare 'All-rounder' who excelled in all aspects.
So Gao Yu taught him the four abilities of Zan, Quan, Zou, Gui, while Hinamori Momo mainly specialized in Kido. Gao Yu also taught her some Healing Way along the way.
And during the teaching, Gao Yu also discovered that not only were his three students progressing rapidly, but he, as the teacher, also benefited greatly from his own teaching!
