Chapter 874 My Hoe Is Already Hungry and Thirsty
"Oh? The new captain of the 12th Division is Ethan?"
The first to come were the captain of the sixth division, Ginsuki Kuchiki, and the captain of the ninth division, Kenshi Rokuche.
As a great nobleman, Kuchiki Yinling is very careful about his own words and deeds, and will never make any disrespectful actions.
As for Liuche Quanxi? He simply arrived earlier. In fact, most captains would choose to arrive at this time, and whoever came in first might do it.
And Kuchiki Yinling, who was one of the witness captains of the assessment that day, had known about Ethan's situation for a long time. After entering and greeting Ethan briefly, he stood quietly by the side with his eyes closed.
Liuche Kenxi only knew that Ethan had been promoted when he saw Ethan wearing the captain's haori. The vice-captains of each team would also be present this time, but he thought it was the 12th division team mentioned earlier.
"No, I'm the captain of the 10th Division."
"Tenth Division?" Liuche Kenxi was stunned for a moment. Of course they knew the situation of the Tenth Division, but they thought that the captain of the Tenth Division would take some time to deal with it: "Then you must be busy."
As the vice-captain of the fourth division, one of the great advantages is that he has a good relationship with most of the gods of death. Except for the lunatic Oni Yancheng Kenpachi of the eleventh division, the other captains will give Ethan some thin face.
"It should be fine."
Ethan doesn't care about the situation of the 10th Division. Shinigami is a high-risk occupation. Every year, many Shinigami sacrifices. It is precisely to replenish the blood of Gotei 13th Division in time. Shigekuni Yamamoto established the Shino Academy of Spiritual Art. .
So he didn't think it would be difficult to rebuild the 10th squad. When a new batch of graduates came in and some backbones were mobilized from other squads, the 10th squad would soon be able to recover.
"Just ask if you need help."
Liuche Kenxi is very enthusiastic. With his character, as long as he says such words, when Ethan asks him, he will try his best to do it no matter how difficult it is.
"Thank you."
"You are welcome."
While chatting, the captain of the third division, Rojuro Hōhashi, the captain of the second division, Yoruichi Shifuin, the captain of the fifth division, Mako Hirako, the captain of the seventh division, Aitake Luo Chuan, and the vice-captain of the twelfth division, Saruki Hitomi Shili also arrived one after another.
"It turned out to be Ethan!"
When all the captains came here and saw Ethan wearing the captain's haori, they almost all started with this sentence.
Then Ethan had to correct again that he was the captain of the 10th division, not the 12th division as they thought.
"Then who will take over as the captain of Division 12?"
"It should be here soon!"
Ethan knew it was Kisuke Urahara, but this guy hasn't arrived yet? He had already noticed that Hiyori Sarkaki's face was covered with tic-tac-toe.
"The new guy has arrived."
Liuche Kenxi kept watching the door, and when he saw a strange man wearing the captain's haori approaching, he knew that this was the guy everyone was waiting for.
Compared with Ethan, the vice-captain of the fourth team that almost everyone knows, Urahara Kisuke, the third seat of the second team, does not have such a sense of presence.
When Kisuke Urahara opened the door to see the situation inside, he was embarrassed to find that he was the last one to come.
"Oh? Am I the latest?"
Except for the 11th team captain Oniganshiro Kenpachi who is out of his mind and often does not participate in the captain's meeting, and the captain Shigekuni Yamamoto who must be the finale, the rest of the captains are here, including the new captain Ethan It's all there.
Seeing this situation, Urahara Kisuke seemed a little cautious, and was educated by Yoruichi in the end: "You are now the captain, just like a captain!"
As a result, before Kisuke Urahara could walk in with his head held high like a captain, he was staggered by Shigekuni Yamamoto behind him with a crutch, and then stumbled in.
Chief Captain Shigekuni Yamamoto appeared on the stage, all the captains lined up on both sides, and then Shigekuni Yamamoto introduced the two new captains.
This is the new captain's inauguration ceremony, very simple and nothing special.
After a brief introduction, Urahara Kisuke was led back to the 12th Division team building by the 12th Division vice-captain Sarkaki Hiyori, so that the 12th Division members could get to know the new captain.
Ethan's situation is special, the 10th squad is in a semi-disabled state, not only the new vice-captain has not yet been determined, but even the chairpersons are few left.
Therefore, the captain of the Eighth Division, Jingle Chunshui, the "senior", took Ethan to the Tenth Division's team building.
"When you have arranged the work of the 10th team, I will hold a celebration party for you alone."
"Don't worry about this, I'll see the situation of the 10th squad before making a decision!"
Jingle Chunshui, who was listening to the conversation between Ethan and Yeyi, suddenly patted Ethan on the shoulder with a look of 'full sympathy', and said in the other's puzzled eyes: "You may have to wait a long time for this drink Only then can I drink it."
"..."
Ethan felt that what Jingle Chunshui said was a bit exaggerated, and when he came to the 10th division team building and saw two or three kittens in front of him, he realized that Jingle Chunshui was actually telling the truth.
"My task is completed, I will go back first! Captain Ethan, I wish you a happy work."
"..."
Happy yarn! The 10th squad now has more than a dozen normal people left, and there are still many wounded who have not returned to the team. Some seriously wounded will directly withdraw from the Gotei 13th squad. Even if those who can return to the team come back, the 10th squad cannot Complete the original duties: the 10th Division is a patrolling security team, and the patrolling and guarding work of the entire Seireitei is in charge of the 10th Division. Such a lot of work naturally requires enough manpower to complete.
Looking at the few people in front of them, I'm afraid they can't even guard the 10th team's team building, and they are still patrolling and guarding!
After looking around, I found that among these team members, there was only one acquaintance, Shiba Isshin, the father of the number one hero of Shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo.
"How many seats are there among you?"
Ethan's taking over as the captain of the 10th division will not be resisted by his subordinates like Kisuke Urahara's taking over as the captain of the 12th division.
The former captain of the 12th squad, Hikifumi Kiryu, has a very high prestige in the team, and the vice-captain Hiyori Sarkaki even regards her as his own mother. Under such circumstances, someone suddenly appeared—a guy that few people are familiar with To replace its position will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people.
The 10th division is different. The captain, vice-captain and even most of his colleagues have already sacrificed. It is only natural to send a new captain. Even when they saw that Ethan was taking over, the surviving members of the 10th division still felt I'm very happy - I earned my fame when I was in the 4th team.
"It's just me."
Seeing the embarrassed Zhibo Yixin, Ethan was also very embarrassed. His own situation was so much better than that of the bare-handed commander.
"Are you the only seat left? How many seats are you currently?"
"Six seats."
"That's fine, I'll let you be the vice-captain."
"well?"
The members of the 10th Division think this arrangement is normal. There is still a lot of time before the new batch of graduates from the Shino Academy of Spiritual Art graduates and join the Gotei 13th Division. They also hope that the 'old men' of the 10th squad will 'lead' the newcomers.
Zhibo Yixin, the only surviving officer, became the vice-captain, which satisfied the remaining members of the 10th squad, and it was even more pleasing to see the new captain, Ethan.
They didn't know that Ethan would not consider such things as 'pacifying the emotions of the old players'. He would choose Zhibo Yixin as the vice-captain. In the final analysis, this guy is an important plot character. It's just a coincidence, it can save some trouble.
"It will take some time for your appointment as vice-captain to be formalized, but now you are about to start taking on the responsibilities of the vice-captain."
Ethan patted Shiba Isshin, who was still very young, with clean cheeks and a fair face.
"Collect the statistics of the team members first, and those who are currently recovering from injuries, as well as the backlog of documents are also brought."
"Yes, Captain."
In addition to figuring out how many men he has, he has to learn a lot, including patrol plans, garrison plans, various rules and laws...
Seeing that the desk was so full that even a lot of things were piled up next to the desk, Ethan finally understood what Jingle Chunshui said.
Seeing Zhibo Yixin in front of him with a confused look on his face, Ethan could only sigh, let's deal with it the same way!
In this way, Ethan stayed up all night in the office on his first day as captain.
As soon as the sun rose the next day, Ethan felt that the style of painting was wrong, and began to consider whether to go to other teams to find some talents, not for anything else, just to make himself easier. No one.
"Who can dig at this time?"
As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhibo Yixin, who was full of wanting to die, still struggling to process various materials: In fact, many of the materials in the stack were useless, but it was a very troublesome job to filter out which ones were useful and which ones were not.
Unbeknownst to Zhibo Yixin, the new captain got inspiration from him.
"Yixin, do you know the current situation of Zhiba Haiyan?"
Zhibo Yixin, who was struggling in pain, suddenly heard what the captain said, and was stunned for a moment before he realized it.
"Haiyan? He's in Team Thirteen!"
"Oh, how many seats?"
"This...he doesn't seem to be the chairperson."
Zhiba Haiyan is also a genius graduate of Shino Academy of Spiritual Art. It only took one year to complete all the courses and graduated directly from the academy (Yeyi can also do it, but because of Ethan, he stayed for a few more years), Then he was invited by Shishiro Ukitake to join the 13th squad.
"It is said that Captain Fuzhu always wanted him to be the vice-captain, but Haiyan never agreed."
The content in memory matched, Zhibo Haiyan did reject it several times, and finally accepted the position of vice-captain only after Ukitake was soft and tough—and then Ukitake went to recuperate (lazy) with peace of mind.
"It seems that it can't be dug."
If he went to dig Shiba Haiyan by himself, it is estimated that Shishiro Ukitake would draw his sword and fight himself desperately! In desperation, I can only consider other goals.
"Ichimaru Gin?"
