The next day at noon, Uehara Byakuya arrived at the Eighth Division's dining hall.
The Shinigami gathered here were mostly ordinary squad members.
The Shinigami gathered in groups of three or two, chatting and eating, looking very happy.
The atmosphere on the Shinigami side was still good.
Unlike the Hollows in Hueco Mundo, before they could ascend to the rank of Vasto Lorde, they had to constantly devour their kind to desperately evolve, otherwise they would be reduced to unintelligent beasts.
After becoming Vasto Lorde, because their spiritual pressure was too strong, ordinary Hollows could not get close, and loneliness was their only companion.
As for the Quincy, with Yhwach, the "king of high-interest loans that demand both money and your life", how could their lives be good? They all had enormous pressure.
Therefore, during the Thousand-Year Blood War, the Quincy were all in poor mental states.
Of course, on ordinary days, Uehara Byakuya would not come to the squad's dining hall for meals.
Although the food here was free and unlimited, it was not very tasty.
Today, he was especially accompanying Ise Nanao.
He placed a high value on Ise Nanao, this "little lucky charm", so he needed to deepen their relationship.
Uehara Byakuya sat down amidst the envious and surprised gazes of the squad members.
Ise Nanao had already prepared his meal and sat down next to him.
"Sit opposite me. You're such a big girl now, you need to keep some distance."
At this moment, Uehara Byakuya had transformed into a "Sigma Male."
It wasn't that he was afraid of [卍解·花天狂骨·黒松心中] or anything, it was just that he didn't want to affect their pure teacher-student relationship.
Even if it was affecting it, it couldn't be done secretly in public, that would be too stimulating.
Ise Nanao blushed slightly and realized her mistake, quickly getting up and sitting opposite Uehara Byakuya.
Looking at the somewhat naive Ise Nanao, Uehara Byakuya shook his head.
Compared to the serious and strong Eighth Division Vice Captain, this "Little Nanao" was indeed not very mature now, but much cuter.
Then, Ise Nanao peeled the white, tender, and fragrant shrimp meat for Uehara Byakuya with a smile, picking out the fish bones from the fish.
If Kyōraku Shunsui saw this, he would be jealous to the point of bloodshot eyes.
He, the uncle, had not enjoyed this kind of treatment yet, and he probably would never have the opportunity to enjoy it.
Not to mention the other Eighth Division Shinigami, their "red Sharingan" eyes were about to evolve into "Mangekyo Sharingan".
The males envied Uehara Byakuya, the females envied Ise Nanao, truly experiencing the pain of the world.
This meal was more satisfying and delicious than Uehara Byakuya expected.
In the morning, he first discussed the matter of the Execution Squad with Kyōraku Shunsui.
Kyōraku Shunsui was also a ruthless person. With a wave of his hand, he directly put those who were lazy, idle, and looked down upon others on the list.
Having these people as cannon fodder would reduce the losses of the Gotei 13 in a way.
Therefore, Yamajī and Kyōraku Shunsui both thought that Uehara Byakuya's suggestion was really good.
Even Suì-Fēng did not object to the proposal.
The list was quickly approved, and these people were now members of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.
Uehara Byakuya hoped that these people would be able to show off their aristocratic demeanor and honor, and die obediently.
Ise Nanao obviously heard something and asked,
"Uehara Sensei, is war about to begin?"
"What, you want to participate? Aren't you scared?" Uehara Byakuya knew that Kyōraku Shunsui didn't want Ise Nanao to take risks.
In the Shinigami manga *Bleach*, Kyōraku Shunsui, because of Yachiru Kusajishi's "Vice Captain PTSD", had protected Ise Nanao too well.
As a result, Ise Nanao had no real combat experience, and in the end, she did not overcome her fear of swords, she couldn't use them or even dare to use them.
"I'm scared!" Ise Nanao nodded first, then resolutely said, "But I want to participate, because I'm an Eighth Division Shinigami, it's just that about Captain Kyōraku..."
She wanted to prove herself, but she didn't want her uncle to worry.
"If your Kidō skills can reach the level of a Vice Captain, I can consider putting in a good word for you."
Uehara Byakuya felt that Ise Nanao was still very valuable to cultivate.
Loyal and capable apprentices who could also brush up on tasks were not easy to find.
Moreover, only when her strength became stronger could she bring out the full power of the Eight-Mirrored Sword.
Most importantly, Uehara Byakuya was confident that he could protect Ise Nanao.
If that was the case, it was better to give Ise Nanao a little push and let her quickly complete the current special task.
After all, it was just putting in a good word, whether it worked or not was another matter.
Ise Nanao exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Thank you, Uehara Sensei, I'll work even harder."
This wasn't even a condition.
After all, becoming stronger was her wish.
In Ise Nanao's eyes, Uehara Sensei was simply helping her in different ways, how kind!
…
After finishing their meal, while there was still time.
Uehara Byakuya and Ise Nanao went to the training ground again.
While Ise Nanao diligently practiced Kidō, Uehara Byakuya was also integrating his own power system.
Just like how there are no useless Stands, there are only useless Stand users, except for Hermit Purple.
Therefore, from time to time, Uehara Byakuya had to familiarize himself with the combination of his abilities and their various applications in actual combat.
The secret base would also occasionally "refresh" a "practice NPC."
At that time, combining theory with practice, it would be very fast to master.
At this time, Uehara Byakuya was familiarizing himself with the advanced Hadō and Shunpo he had learned from Yoruichi.
Those previous Execution Squad members were simply useless, they fell before he could even exert himself, so Uehara Byakuya had no chance to try out the advanced Hadō techniques he had learned from Yoruichi.
In addition, in these days, he had focused on teaching Kidō to Ise Nanao, which in a way had also enhanced his own Kidō abilities.
Now, Uehara Byakuya had a deeper understanding of Hadō, Shunpo, and Kidō, the three basic skills of a Shinigami.
The next step in development would be to combine his abilities and develop his own unique moves.
Similar to Kūkaku Shiba's [瞬花], Yoruichi Shihōin's [空蝉], [瞬閧]…
As for swordsmanship, Uehara Byakuya glanced at the [Hinokami Kagura] on his system panel.
Sword techniques that could kill demons, cutting down Hollows must be very cool, after all, it was fire with every strike.
卯之花 八千流, who claims to master all the swordsmanship styles in the world, have you ever witnessed this [轮回] sword technique?
