Chapter 9: Chapter 009: Joining Gotei 13
Because the test results need to be handed over to the Gotei 13 Division, and the work efficiency of each team is different, it will take a while for the invitation of the Gotei 13 Division to join the team.
During this period of time, some graduates often have some exchanges, such as how their graduation grades are and which team they intend to join.
During Mazuru's six years of study at Shinō Academy, he spent most of his time studying. His classmates also knew him as a freak, so he had very few friends.
Of course, having few friends does not mean that he has no friends.
There is still that one.
Ise Nanao!
At this moment, Nanao is still a little girl, wearing a pair of glasses, she doesn't have the majesty of the future vice-captain at all, and she will only look cute when she loses her temper occasionally.
In Shinō's library, there was a book next to her, she didn't read it, but looked at Mazuru in front of her, and asked hesitantly, "Are you really planning to join the Fourth Division?"
"It's not that I want to go to the Fourth Division, but my Zanpakuto has some healing abilities. I guess the first thing I receive will be the recruitment offer from the Fourth Division."
Nanao wanted to say something else, although Mazuru once said that he didn't like slashing and killing, she also recommended Mazuru to go to the Fourth Division at that time, but at this moment, she was a little hesitant.
She felt that the Fourth Division was not suitable for Mazuru.
Although the medical team is an integral part of the Gotei 13 Division, and has treated countless seriously injured shinigami over the years, but Mazuru is a capable man!
What's the point of going to the treatment team instead of cutting hollows?
Even though he spent six years in Shinō, Mazuru didn't skip a single grade, but Nanao knew what kind of genius Mazuru is. In six years, the opponent's Hohō, Kidō, and Hakuda were all top grade, not a single weakness.
It's such a waste for such a person to go to the Fourth Division!
"Are you really not going to think about it again?" Nanao asked Mazuru again.
She wanted Mazuru to consider the Eighth Division, but when she thought that the Eighth Division was an intelligence team, which was not much better than the Fourth Division, she finally gave up inviting Mazuru to join the Eighth Division. It is still unbelievable that she will be recruited by the Eighth Division. Although the Eighth Division is an intelligence team, the intelligence team also needs to fight.
As for her, although Kidō's grades are not bad, she is not as talented as Mazuru. In Shinō's six years, her Zanpakuto has not yet awakened.
But she has already received an invitation letter from the Eighth Division.
This made her think of the person who often came to her house when she was a child and had an unusual relationship with her mother.
Kyoraku Shunsui!
When she entered school that day, this sudden visitor came to visit her home and personally sent her to the Shinō Academy.
Right now, she is recruited by the Eighth Division, and there is no doubt that he has something to do with this.
Mazuru knew what Nanao was thinking and was about to say something when a frivolous voice came into his ears, "That's right, brother Mazuru are you really not going to think about it?"
Mazuru and Nanao looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
A man with an unshaven beard, a bamboo hat, and a pink haori appeared in their field of vision.
Nanao suddenly got up, followed by Mazuru.
"Captain Shunsui!"
"Captain Kyoraku!"
Shunsui smiled lightly, then walked up to the two of them.
Mazuru asked, "Why did the Captain come here today?"
Shunsui explained, "Nanao-chan has passed Shinō's graduation exam and is about to join the Gotei 13 squad. I am here to pick up the youngest member of our Eighth Division."
"I knew from others that she was in the library, so I came here. I didn't want to, but I overheard your conversation."
Shunsui looked at Mazuru, "I've heard about your situation. Although the Fourth Division is good, it's too wasteful to stay there with your talent."
Although he wanted to persuade Mazuru to change to another squad, Shunsui didn't dare to interfere with the Fourth Division too much and speak ill of it.
As one of the long-serving captains of Gotei 13, he knows exactly what kind of strength is hidden in that seemingly gentle woman.
Similarly, what he said to Mazuru this time is also true.
He knew Mazuru very well.
As the daughter of his deceased brother, Nanao, his niece, although she still doesn't know about her cursed fate and the truth, but before his sister-in-law died, she entrusted Nanao to him and let him take care of Nanao on her behalf.
Nanao only thinks because he has some relationship with her mother so he takes care of her, but she doesn't know that the relationship between them is deeper than she imagined.
Relying on this, he had to carefully observe anyone who appeared around Nanao.
Mazuru, Nanao's only friend during Shinō's study, is of course the object of his observation.
According to what Mazuru said, his Zanpakuto is of the Kidō type, and has some healing abilities. Although he didn't show it, and he's not sure if what he said is true or not, but based on Zanpakuto's ability, it's really good for him to join the Fourth Division. However, Zanpakuto is not everything there is about shinigami.
After listening to Shunsui's words, Mazuru was silent.
After Shunsui noticed this, he said again, "How about I recommend a suitable squad to brother Mazuru?"
...
First Division Quarters.
The captains of Gotei 13 Division had a routine meeting. The general content of the meeting was how each division would handle the entrance ceremony of this year's Shinō graduates into their squads and do a good job of welcoming new Shinigami.
After the Head Captain Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni finished speaking, he dismissed the meeting.
The captains of each team left one after another.
Shunsui tilted his bamboo hat and was thinking about where to go for a drink, when a sullen voice suddenly sounded beside him, "I heard that Captain Shunsui snatched away a new recruit who originally wanted to join my Fourth Division."
Hearing this, Shunsui froze suddenly. He turned around slowly, looked at the gentle and kind woman beside him with braids tied in front of her chest, forced a smile on her face, "Captain Unohana, what are you talking about! No matter how short my Eighth Division is, I wouldn't dare to compete with you!"
"It's Jushiro, yes, it's Jushiro. Captain Unohana also knows that Jushiro's health has never been very good. He said to me a while ago that the Thirteenth Division has had no new members for a long time. I just think that little brother is more suitable for the Thirteenth Division, so I invited him on behalf of Jushiro!"
"Moreover, he finally chose the Thirteenth Division and gave up the Fourth Division, which is also his own decision!"
"Really?" Unohana Retsu looked at Shunsui with a half-smile.
Shunsui felt a chill down his back.
In the end, no one knows if Unohana spared Shunsui and left for the sake of Jūshirō Ukitake, who didn't even come to the meeting today and was physically weak.
Shunsui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "It seems that we survived."
Thirteenth Division, the vice-captain is temporarily vacant. The captain is Jūshirō Ukitake who is called a good old man. Jūshirō has a gentle personality, but has a weak body and stays sick. He cares about the squad members very much and is a very good person in the hearts of the members.
Just like at this moment, it was obvious that Mazuru was just a new member of the team, but he forced himself to drag his weak body to meet Mazuru in the hall area from the captain's room.
If you need something, or if you have any troubles, you can always go to him, the captain.
