In Room 46 of Zhenyang, a shout came from the underground meeting hall.
"Lord Amanmon, this is against the rules. I admit that he did make a great contribution in this incident, but a pariah from Rukongai has no qualifications to become a sage from the Forty-sixth Chamber of Mao!"
"That's right."
"Lord Awanmen, I have heard about this person from my brother. Even if his identity is put aside, he himself is a huge threat to the stability of Soul Society."
"Ever since he entered the Seireitei, he has been collecting money to help the nobles do some shady things. Such a person cannot be allowed to become a sage."
"..."
Awanmenna Yura stood in the center of the underground meeting hall. Facing the scoldings coming from all directions, she did not show any timidity on her face. Instead, she asked: "If I remember correctly, when Zhenyang Room 46 was established,
, its members are composed of forty sages and six judges gathered from all over Soul Society."
"And this 'whole territory' naturally includes Rukongai!"
At the end of the sentence, Awanmena Yura glanced at everyone's faces one by one and said in a cold tone: "Many of you here are the successors selected by the previous sage and judge. I think you have a clear understanding of your respective
Your family history should be familiar, right?"
"Untouchable?"
"With all due respect, to all of you here, some of you have ancestors who are what you call untouchables."
"presumptuous!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, figures in the octagonal underground meeting room stood up from where they were sitting and looked at Awanmena Yura in the center of the meeting hall with gloomy expressions.
"Who is so presumptuous!?"
Nayura's tone instantly turned cold, and her petite body revealed an indescribable majesty: "Don't forget, according to the rules of the 46th House of Mao, only the Soul King is notified, and the name is recorded in the Soul King Palace.
Only then can you be qualified to become the speaker of the Spiritual King and become a member of the forty-sixth chamber of Zhenyang."
"Of all the people present, I am the only one whose name has been recorded in the Soul King's Palace. Please don't forget this."
Nayura looked at the speaker and said word for word: "Of course I can't erase your name from Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni of the Gotei 13th Division, but after your name is sent to Soul King Palace
Before, I can execute you on the charge of 'offending the sage'."
"This is the same for other people!"
Silence~
As Nayura's words fell, all the sages in the underground meeting hall fell into silence as if they were being strangled by the neck.
"very good."
Nayura nodded: "Then I will continue. There were rules when the Forty-sixth Chamber of Mao was born. Its members can only be those who are highly respected in the Soul Society and are followed by the public; instead of just being
It is composed of senatorial families and nobles, I think you all still remember this, right?"
"As for Duan Mu, whom I recommended, he is highly respected in Rukongai. You, as the last sage's chosen successor, shouldn't be unaware of it, right?"
"So……"
Nayura glanced at everyone: "Please tell me, what qualifications does he lack?"
Hearing this, the dozens of sages and judges present couldn't help but look at each other, wanting to refute but not knowing how to refute.
In the end, an old man sat on the trial bench. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Lord Awanmen, even if he does have this qualification... his instability is also a fact. As far as I know, he
Although he is very famous in Rukongai, he has also conquered all the villains in the areas with lower numbers in Rukongai."
"Those who can stand with those evil people may threaten the stability of Seireitei at any time."
"The most important thing is..."
"Since he entered the Seireitei, he has caused countless incidents. He fought against Zaraki Kenpachi without authorization, went to Hueco Mundo on suspicion of going to Hueco Mundo privately, secretly did some shady work for the nobles, and wooed the Shino Spiritual Academy and the Gotei Thirteen.
Squadron member, leading the residents of Rukongai to fight against the evildoers, the captain of the Gotei 13th Division, to protect the Quincy..."
"Everything he does, without exception, will lead to turmoil in Soul Society."
"With all due respect, a person like him should not be allowed to become a sage, but should be imprisoned forever!"
"That's right!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of agreement.
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to become the sage of the Forty-sixth Chamber of Zhenyang?"
Nayura smiled slightly: "You have all said that Rukongai is completely under his control. If such a person does not let him become a member of Mao's 46th Room, then one day in the future, Rukongai will be very
It is possible that it will break away from the jurisdiction of the Seireitei and truly become Duanmu's territory."
"From this point of view, it is necessary for him to become a sage from the Forty-Six Chambers of Zhenyang."
"As for the solicitation you mentioned, it is even more nonsense. Since when can even the act of helping others be regarded as solicitation?"
"And what you call wooing is just work in Duan Mu's view. It's just because he does it so well that people respect him. And he also truly treats everyone equally regardless of their status.
The situation will never be perfunctory because of the identity of the target."
"As for doing shady work for the nobles secretly..."
Nayura shook her head, took a document from the side, looked at the judge and said: "I think it's not just nobles? There are also many members of the elder family who have approached him for entrustment. In Duan Mu's
In this record, I saw many familiar surnames, including your family, Judge Juyuan!"
"There are many families that have gone too far, and they were secretly dealt with by the former members of the 46th House of Mao. The ones I have in my hands are the families that have not been dealt with. I think you all should know that this information has been spread.
What consequences will it have?"
The record in Nayura's hand was the black material about the nobles that Duan Mu recorded while working for the nobles after cooperating with the Golden Seal Society.
Although it has never been put to use, Duan Mu never stopped recording, believing that more preparation would never go wrong.
"you……"
Looking at the record book in Nayura's hand, the expressions of nearly half of the members present changed.
Without exception, these people are all families who have entrusted Duan Mu through the Golden Seal Society...
Although Duan Mu is rejected in every possible way, the fact that Duan Mu is very useful has long been widely spread among the nobles.
After a family member gets into trouble, the first reaction of many people is to entrust Duan Mu, because Duan Mu's Wanshiwuwu has always been famous for its secrecy, and has never used these secrets to threaten customers... to ask for money or status.
events of this type occur.
Therefore, when many members of the nobility have to deal with some shady matters, they will entrust Duan Mu to handle it for them.
They had no idea that Nayura would put such a record in front of them under such circumstances.
Even if many of these things were done in private by members of the family without telling them, if this record spreads, it will have a great impact on them, and even cause them to miss the opportunity between the sage and the judge.
It's not entirely impossible.
because……
They are not the real members of Mao's 46th Chamber yet.
If the influence is too bad, Nayura, who is currently the only member of Mao No. 46, can completely deprive them of their inheritance qualifications on this basis. If the influence is too bad, even Captain Yamamoto cannot change this.
Thinking of this, nearly half of the sages, including the chief judge who spoke out, sat down in unison.
When the other people saw this, they couldn't help but show hesitation on their faces.
"What I said before is just my personal reason for recommending 'Amanmon Duanmu' to become a sage. Whether or not to accept him requires a vote by all the members present."
Nayura did not further force everyone to express their stance. Instead, her tone returned to calmness and she said calmly:
"But before the vote, there is something I want to ask you."
"Did you really learn from the destruction of the members of the last Mao Room 46?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned and didn't understand why Nayura suddenly mentioned this matter.
"One captain can destroy the entire Zhenyang Room 46. If there is another captain rebellion in the future, you..."
Nayura took a deep breath and said word by word: "Can you protect yourself?"
Protect yourself?
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously wanted to refute.
If even the 46th House of Mao needs to protect itself, then what's the use of having the Gotei 13th Division?
But when the words came to my lips...
But they didn't know how to refute it at all.
Because the previous member was massacred under the protection of the Gotei 13th Division...
"The captain of the Gotei 13th Division cannot become a member of Mao's 46th Chamber, which means that none of us can resist the captain's massacre. This is also the reason why I recommend Duanmu, whether it is in terms of reputation, status, or
In terms of strength, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to become a sage."
"Once he becomes a sage, he will not only eliminate the instability of Rukongai, but also ensure our safety and prevent the tragedy of the previous member from happening to us!"
silence.
All the sages who were still standing couldn't help but look at each other.
After a while, a sage sighed slightly and sat down.
His sitting down seemed to be an introduction, and the sages who stood up to express their refusal sat down one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Awanmena Yula was the only one left standing in the entire underground meeting hall.
"Then, let us start the voting, and then Judge Juyuan will make the announcement."
The voting process is not complicated and there is no doubt about the result.
Coercion, inducement, persuasion...
After a series of words from Nayura, all members present voted in favor.
Some of them were coerced, some did it for safety, and some did it for the stability of Seireitei...
Judge Juyuan stood on the court where he was the only one and read out the voting results:
"After the votes of all the sages, I declare..."
"Awanmen Duanmu has officially become one of the sages of the forty-six chambers of Zhenyang, with a rank of thirty-eight seats!"
The moment the verdict was announced, Nayura couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy in her eyes.
Recommending Duan Mu to become a sage was not a temporary decision, but an idea that had been in his mind for a long time.
The reason why she came up with this idea was precisely because of Duanmu's attitude towards the residents of the Seireitei, the nobles, and the residents of Rukongai.
She has always wanted to change the situation of "prioritizing nobles". In Nayura's view, the best person who can help her achieve this goal is Duan Mu!
Awanmenna Yula slowly walked up to the octagonal side platform and sat behind the wooden board with the word 'Eleven' engraved on it.
"Then please invite the newly appointed Sage Duanmu to return to his position!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ten layers of barriers on the corridor outside the underground meeting hall opened on both sides at this moment.
The end of the corridor.
Duan Mu stood outside the barrier, looking as weird as possible.
He didn't know about the conversation in the underground meeting hall, but before coming here, Nayura had told him...
If her proposal passes, the ten layers of barriers will be opened for herself, and then she will become a member of the forty-sixth room of Zhenyang!
to be honest……
Duan Mu is still in a blinded state even now.
When he was outside the intensive care unit and heard about Nayura's plan, he even thought that Aizen had sneaked back... and wanted to use this to harm him.
Let yourself be regarded as a sage in Room 46 of Zhenyang?
Is this a new type of prank?
Until the moment when the ten layers of barriers were opened for herself just like Nayura said.
Duan Mu finally realized...
Nayura is not playing tricks on herself, but she really wants to become a sage in the 46th room of Mao.
Looking at the wide open door in front of him, Duan Mu showed hesitation on his face.
Because once he steps in here, he will become a member of Mao's Forty-sixth Chamber, but it also means that he has truly integrated into the Seireitei group.
This made Duan Mu, who had always resisted the Seireitei, hesitate to accept this position.
After standing there and pondering for a while, Duan Mu finally stepped into the corridor.
After becoming a sage in the 46th Chamber of Mao, it will be much easier for me to do things in the Seireitei in the future. I will no longer have to worry about being killed by Captain Yamamoto as a threat, and I will no longer be as timid as before.
The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
And most importantly...
Although I have integrated into the Seireitei as a whole, what I represent is not Seireitei, but Rukongai.
He is still not a Shinigami, nor is he a member of the Gotei 13th Division.
"Huh~~"
After walking through the corridor and standing at the entrance of the underground meeting hall, Duan Mu took a deep breath.
In addition, the sage can choose to hide his identity. As long as he chooses to hide, no one will know that he has become a member of the Forty-sixth Chamber of Mao.
Even the other sages will not reveal any information about themselves to the outside world without their consent.
This allows Duan Mu not to worry about making friends because of his high status!
If this position would affect his ability to make friends, Duan Mu would not accept it no matter what.
