As for Renji and Momo...
Renji was a wild dog with decent talent in swordsmanship and physical combat.
As for Momo, she only had some talent in Kido.
Kyoya was somewhat confident that he could make Renji achieve even greater heights through training in Baltigo.
But as for Momo...
Without a Zanpakuto, Momo probably wouldn't even reach the [Cadre] level in the Revolutionary Army.
However, Kyoya immediately shook his head.
'What was I thinking?'
'Although the Revolutionary Army had a good reputation in the Rukongai, it was precisely because we were too close to the people that we lacked some authority.'
'In contrast, the Seireitei's aloof, high and mighty attitude towards the Rukongai had garnered support from some Rukongai's residents, who all wanted to enter the Seireitei and become people of importance.'
'For this group, the Shin'o Academy was their first choice.'
'Only after failing the Shin'o Academy's entrance exam would they consider coming to Baltigo Academy.'
'It seemed that in the minds of Rukongai's residents, the Shin'o Academy was a noble academy, and graduating there meant becoming 'nobility'.'
'Whereas Baltigo Academy was a commoner's academy.'
'After graduation, they still had to stay in Rukongai and serve everyone.'
Even so, Kyoya had no intention of debunking this notion.
The founding philosophy of the Revolutionary Army was itself 'people-oriented' and 'fair and just'.
Even if a privileged class were to emerge, it must remain within this framework.
If it deviated from this framework, the Revolutionary Army would also become a 'wicked dragon' like the Seireitei.
'Forget it, I'll go take a walk around the academy first.'
Thinking this, Kyoya stood up directly.
"By the way, Koga."
"Ginrei-sama probably doesn't have many years left."
"When Byakuya comes this time, you should also prepare to take Haruko to Seireitei to avoid any future regrets."
In the original work, Kyoya hadn't seen Ginrei appear.
So, Kyoya suspected that Ginrei must have died around the time Byakuya married Hisana.
Now, although Koga had ideological conflicts with Ginrei due to his Zanpakuto, after Kyoya intervened, neither side had pushed it to a life-or-death struggle.
Moreover, Haruko lived happily in the Rukongai with Koga.
If one said Ginrei didn't miss Haruko, that would definitely be false.
However, due to his own pride and his status as the former head of the Kuchiki Clan, Ginrei couldn't actually leave the Seireitei to visit Haruko and Koga in Baltigo.
Koga fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
Koga's 'pay attention' naturally meant disguising his identity to enter Seireitei.
After all, Koga was a wanted criminal by the Seireitei. Appearing openly in Seireitei would make things awkward for everyone.
At that time, it would be unreasonable for Gotei 13 not to take action against Koga.
However, with the cover of the 6th Division's Captain, it should be fine.
Leaving the administrative building, Kyoya headed towards Baltigo Academy.
Unlike Seireitei, Baltigo had no tall walls surrounding it, and there were no barriers between it and the surrounding areas.
As long as people were willing, they could enter Baltigo.
After all, if Shinigami didn't actively release their Reiatsu, and these ordinary people didn't stay in Baltigo long-term, the high Reishi concentration was still bearable for them.
Only places like the Soul King Palace had such high Reishi concentration that without Captain-level strength, one would be overwhelmed and breathless.
However, the location of Baltigo Academy was relatively remote, with few people around.
There was no helping it.
Baltigo Academy, like the Shin'o Academy, taught students how to increase their Reiatsu and how to use it in combat.
Almost every day, students underwent high-intensity training or combat.
Although the students' Reiatsu was generally low, the Reiatsu they released could still cause discomfort to nearby ordinary people.
Therefore, in choosing the Academy's location, Koga, Ichinose, and the others had put considerable thought into it.
However, in recent days, the foot traffic here had increased dozens of times.
And most were ordinary people without Reiatsu.
These people were accompanied by children around seven or eight years old.
There were also some children who came alone.
These children were all here to take the Baltigo Academy entrance exam.
Although the Revolutionary Army followed a close-to-the-people approach in Rukongai and even ordinary people without Reiatsu could undergo corresponding physical training upon entering the Academy-
But that intensity of training had seen few succeed over the past twenty-plus years.
Those who persisted could learn a few moves of the Rokushiki and barely compare to the members of the Revolutionary Army.
If they mastered all the six techniques and comprehended the 'secrets' of the Rokushiki, they could ascend to the rank of Cadre within the Revolutionary Army.
But this was the limit for ordinary people.
Unable to learn Haki and without Reiatsu, their upper limit was locked.
If students with Reiatsu Talent comprehended the 'secrets' of Rokushiki, they could at least hold their own against the Lieutenants of the Gotei 13.
However, even if they didn't persist, upon leaving Baltigo Academy, they would be several times or even over ten times stronger than ordinary people, able to participate in village defense, alerting everyone when Hollows attacked.
Moreover, if the villagers couldn't retreat in time, they could even stall the Hollows, waiting for the Revolutionary Army's rescue.
In short, in the eyes of Rukongai's residents, as long as they entered Baltigo Academy, they wouldn't lack food or clothing after graduating.
Ordinary people without Reiatsu only needed to train their bodies. After reaching a certain physical strength, they could then be exposed to swordsmanship and Rokushiki.
Students with Reiatsu had much more to learn.
Reiatsu Control, basic theory of Kido and Reishi Arrangement, swordsmanship, Shunpo, Hakuda...
As for Rokushiki, students with Reiatsu could use Reiatsu to assist in training Geppo and Rankyaku, while the others still required their bodies to reach a certain level of strength before they could be practiced.
'Huh, isn't that guy is Abarai Renji?'
Walking along, Kyoya suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.
After looking closely, Kyoya confirmed that this guy was indeed Renji.
He just didn't know if he and Rukia still had any fate.
Feeling Kyoya's gaze, Renji suddenly turned around. Seeing Kyoya, a flicker of confusion passed through his eyes.
After confirming that he didn't know Kyoya, Renji turned back and continued talking with his little friends.
'Not bad perception.'
Kyoya nodded slightly.
'Renji was a wild dog chasing stars.'
'To chase after Rukia's figure, he joined the most dangerous 11th Division, trained desperately, and eventually became a Captain-level powerhouse.'
'Even during the Thousand-Year Blood War, he had a remarkable performance.'
Kyoya rubbed his chin.
Since Renji had chosen Baltigo, Kyoya naturally had to live up to his choice.
'It's decided!'
'I would throw Renji into the class for ordinary people, make him train his physique, practice swordsmanship and the Rokushiki!'
'Anyway, with his level of control over Reishi, Kido and Kaido were unnecessary.'
'Rather than letting him waste time on Kido and Kaido, it was better to strive directly for the ultimate goal from the start.'
Renji had no idea that before he had even officially joined Baltigo, Kyoya had already mapped out his entire Academy Training.
"Kyoya-sama."
"Kyoya-sama!"
Arriving at Baltigo Academy, the teachers who saw Kyoya greeted him respectfully one by one.
It was worth noting that in the early days of Baltigo Academy, when there were no one who had completed Rokushiki training, Kyoya had simultaneously served as a Hakuda and swordsmanship teacher, occasionally also teaching Kido knowledge to Kido Elites.
It could be said that among the current teachers at Baltigo Academy, eight out of ten were students taught by Kyoya.
And they were the middling ones.
The good students had already joined the Revolutionary Army, contributing their strength to transforming Rukongai.
The poor students had integrated into the various districts of the Rukongai, becoming peacekeepers maintaining order.
It was these average ones, whose teaching abilities were recognized by Kyoya, who became teachers at Baltigo Academy, took over Kyoya's role, and over the years, trained many core forces for the Revolutionary Army.
"Hmm, everyone has worked hard."
Kyoya also responded to everyone with a smile.
"Kyoya-sama, I received word from Koga-sama that you plan to come teach at the Academy this year..."
"That's right."
Kyoya nodded, "I've felt a bit tired from training these past few years, so I came out for a change of pace."
"Then, Kyoya-sama, I'll go inform the admissions teachers to open a [Hidden Dragon Class] this year."
Hearing Kyoya's words, this teacher from Baltigo Academy was overjoyed.
Since their goal was Seireitei, Baltigo Academy naturally used the Shin'o Academy as a benchmark.
The Shin'o Academy had Class C, Class B, and Class A. Baltigo Academy had corresponding Ordinary Class, Enhanced Class, and Elite Class.
The so-called [Hidden Dragon Class] was a special class for geniuses established only when Kyoya served as a teacher, symbolizing 'strong individuals' surpassing elites.
Every student from the [Hidden Dragon Class] later became a pillar of the Revolutionary Army.
The weakest were still Cadres in the Revolutionary Army.
The strong ones had already reached the same level as Ichinose and the others, attaining the position of Army Commanders and Vice Commanders.
Now that Kyoya was coming to teach at Baltigo Academy again, this teacher naturally wanted the admissions teachers to watch out for 'geniuses'.
"No need."
Kyoya waved his hand, "This year, I want a change of mood. I'll go take a look at the class for those without Reiatsu."
"Oh, right."
At this point, Kyoya flicked his finger, and golden Reiatsu formed a light screen before him.
On this screen was a scene of many people lining up and waiting.
The Baltigo Academy's teachers immediately recognized this as the scene of the Academy's ongoing entrance exams.
As the image on the light screen changed, it finally settled on a boy with red hair and strangely shaped eyebrows.
"This little guy, assign him to the class without Reiatsu."
"Yes, Kyoya-sama."
Hearing this, the teacher's gaze towards Renji on the screen held both envy and pity.
Envy, because this little guy had gained Kyoya's attention, so his future achievements would certainly not be low.
'Probably, the main reason Kyoya-sama wanted to teach at the academy this year was because of this little guy.'
Pity, because as a teacher at Baltigo Academy, he knew just how high the training intensity was for ordinary students without Reiatsu.
But there was no helping it.
Think about it: before Kyoya appeared, ordinary people without Reiatsu simply couldn't master 'power'.
When faced with Hollow attacks or Shinigami bullying, they were utterly helpless.
It was only after Kyoya established Baltigo Academy that methods for physical training were passed down, allowing ordinary people to gain the ability to resist Hollows and Shinigami.
The corresponding cost was the need to put in more effort and sweat.
Every student who graduated from the class without Reiatsu, even if their strength was inferior, their combat will and conviction surpassed most Shinigami.
"18th-Class Reiryoku, go to the Ordinary Class classroom for the next assessment."
"15th-Class Reiryoku, go to the Enhanced Class classroom for the next assessment."
"No Reiryoku, go to the playground and run first."
"No Reiryoku, go to the playground and run!"
At the entrance of Baltigo Academy, the assessing teachers assigned classes and further assessments based on the children's Reiryoku levels.
Those with Reiryoku would undergo tests in Hakuda, Kido, and swordsmanship. Class placement was based on Reiryoku level and talent in various aspects.
Those with low Reiryoku levels could enter the Enhanced Class or even the Elite Class if they had talent in certain areas.
While those with high Reiryoku levels could be demoted or even expelled after a period if they had no talent in Hakuda, Kido, or swordsmanship and didn't train hard.
As for ordinary people without Reiryoku, there was only one test item.
Running!
Run with all their might until they collapse from exhaustion to pass the assessment.
If they gave up halfway or rested, there would be no second chance.
The assessment for ordinary people was that cruel!
No one had any objections to this.
Without the conviction and perseverance to give your all, even if they joined the academy, they wouldn't be able to withstand the training goals and would eventually retreat.
Rather than that, it was better to weed out those with weak resolve from the start.
But even so, not all ordinary people who joined Baltigo Academy could complete the six years of training, ultimately obtain the Baltigo Academy's graduation certificate, and gain the qualification to join the Revolutionary Army.
