Chapter 16: The Ambition To Explore The Truth Of The World
"Create your own Kidō?"
Sōsuke murmured to himself that he never knew that Kidō could be created by oneself. The Kidō taught by the Spiritual Arts Academy is not the limit of Kidō. As long as you are talented enough, you can create your own Kidō.
At this time, although Sōsuke's Kidō talent was not weak, he had mastered full chanting, abandoned chanting, and even discovered Kidō half chanting through independent research, but he was still far away from creating Kidō on his own.
But after learning about this, he still had one more target.
A goal worth pursuing.
Sōsuke is a genius. Even though he usually hides himself and has a harmonious relationship with the classmates around him, in his heart, he always feels that he is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
When those students were practicing hard to practice White Hits and Zanjutsu, he easily introduced these techniques and quickly mastered them.
It doesn't seem that difficult for him to become a Shinigami.
This made him feel somewhat uninteresting about the Academy's academic career.
It wasn't until I met Arima that I learned something from Arima.
Sōsuke felt that things were getting interesting.
It turns out that the knowledge taught by the Spiritual Arts Academy is only the foundation of Shinigami.
This world is far more mysterious than he imagined.
Let's talk about pure Kidō. Ordinary people practice, just to learn how to master Kidō, but they don't know the origin of Kidō, the essence of Kidō, and they have no idea of creating their own Kidō.
Sōsuke still doesn't know what a "real name" is and who created Kidō, but with Arima, he does have a new goal.
In Arima's dormitory.
He talked a lot with Sōsuke again, naturally, just like last time. Although he revealed some secrets, such as Kidō being a group of powers engraved on the world, he did not tell Sōsuke who inscribed it, whether it was innate or innate. Acquired and man-made.
Sōsuke was thoughtful and naturally sensed Arima's attitude without asking too many questions.
Because the previous question itself was a bit abrupt.
But he really wants to know some secrets about this world.
He wants to discover the truth about the world.
Arima understood what Sōsuke was thinking, looked at Sōsuke with a serious look and said: "Sōsuke, you seem to have a strong desire for knowledge."
Sōsuke was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Arima, but he still answered Arima's question, "Maybe it's because I like to think randomly, but if possible, I really want to find out the answers behind many questions."
"Then you know that sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing?" Arima's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Sōsuke felt Arima's gaze and asked in confusion: "Arima-sensei, is it wrong just to find the answer to the question?"
Arima didn't answer.
For the first time, Sōsuke was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Why exactly?
Why is it wrong to simply seek answers?
Why is knowing more not a good thing?
What is hidden behind this world?
As a teenager, Sōsuke wanted to figure everything out.
But he is also quite self-aware. At least now, he seems not qualified to know everything because he is not even a Shinigami.
Therefore, if you want to figure everything out, the first thing you need to do is to make yourself stronger and become a Shinigami.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Arima-sensei." Sōsuke came back to his senses and thanked Arima seriously.
Arima happily accepted Sōsuke's thanks.
After staring at Sōsuke for a while, he said: "If you encounter any problems that you don't understand in the future, you can come to me for advice first. Don't try to find out the truth alone."
"There are some things, if you don't know their seriousness and you explore them rashly, you may put yourself in a dangerous situation."
Sōsuke thought he heard wrongly, and was stunned for a while before he realized what he said. He quickly said to Arima, "Okay, okay, Arima-sensei, thank you."
He thanked Arima again.
After that, Sōsuke was kicked out of his dormitory by Arima and returned to the teaching area of Spiritual Arts Academy to mingle with his classmates.
It was also after this day that the relationship between Arima and Sōsuke underwent some subtle changes.
He is no longer simply Sōsuke's calligraphy teacher.
Outside of class, he would also try to answer some of Sōsuke's questions.
Sōsuke is a person who is very curious about everything, and his curiosity reaches the ultimate level.
Basically every few days, he would come to visit Arima and ask Arima some questions he encountered during his cultivation.
Regarding these issues, Arima did not hesitate to give advice.
But over time, he found that he was harassed by Sōsuke too frequently. He was indeed very interested in Aizen Sōsuke. After all, he was the famous and popular villain in the original work. What about Yhwach? In terms of personality charm, he also gotta watch Aizen Sōsuke.
It was rare to meet Aizen Sōsuke when he was a boy. Arima didn't mind giving him some pointers to see if he could lead Aizen to another path.
After all, judging from Aizen Sōsuke's pursuit in the original work, it is actually similar to Arima's own pursuit.
They are all to explore the truth of the world, but the only difference is that after discovering the truth of the world, Aizen developed some ambitions.
However, I come to ask myself every few days, do I still want to support myself in old age?
You know, I only have two classes a month at Mao.
It happens every few days, and I am not Sōsuke's tutor.
"Sōsuke, don't you think you have too many questions?"
On this day, after Arima answered some of the problems Sōsuke had encountered in life, he spoke to him in a subtle tone.
Sōsuke looked a little embarrassed. Indeed, he had been having too many problems during this period.
It was rare for him to meet a teacher who could answer his questions, so he didn't want to miss it.
But he neglected that Teacher Xian Ye was just his own calligraphy class teacher.
"Arima-sensei, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Sōsuke apologized to Arima and lowered his head.
