Chapter 214 Captains Who Took Office at the Same Time

Time flies by like a white horse, passing by quickly without notice.

This is especially obvious in the Soul Society, where souls are often hundreds or thousands of years old.

A month is too short in the Soul Society.

But during this period, Aize had already attended the graduation ceremony of the Maou Academy and officially graduated from the Maou Academy.

The day before the captain's inauguration ceremony, Aize left the Maou Academy and went to the first team's barracks.

He did not notify anyone, nor did he say goodbye to Abarai Renji and others. He just left quietly, without even taking his luggage, and took his Zanpakutō, using instant step, single-handed sword, and left freely.

When he arrived at the first team's barracks, the vice-captain of the first team, Chojiro Suzuki, was already waiting here and led him into the barracks.

However, this time, Aize was not led to the room where the captains held a meeting, but to the personal office of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"It seems you are ready."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was sitting at a low wooden table, with his wooden stick next to him and various documents in front of him, looking like he was handling business.

"I guess so."

Aize sat down in front of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, but he did not sit on a seat, but directly sat on the tatami, and he did not sit upright, just sitting cross-legged, which made the Suzuki Chojiro frown.

Aize pretended not to see it and continued to sit cross-legged as he pleased.

There was no way, he did not like to sit upright, even if his physical strength was not bad now, his legs would still feel uncomfortable if he sat upright for a long time, so he usually did not sit upright.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at Aize like this, but did not say anything, just spoke.

"Since you are ready, you will be officially employed from today."

"Tomorrow morning, the captains of each division will come to attend your inauguration ceremony, so you will stay here for the time being."

"Also, there is one thing I need to tell you. This time, you are not the only one who is the protagonist of the inauguration ceremony. There is another person who will serve as the captain with you."

Hearing this, Aize was stunned.

"Another person?"

Aize seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded and said, "Captain Kuchiki of the Sixth Division had planned to retire. Now the captain of the Third Division, which has been vacant, is going to be filled. He took this opportunity to directly propose to rest from the team."

There is actually no formal withdrawal system within the Gotei 13.

Because the Gotei 13 is recognized as a noble organization by the Central 46th Office that manages the Soul Society, it does not allow "unqualified members to appear among the qualified members" to happen.

Although it is a bit unreasonable, when a member of the Gotei 13 wants to quit the team because of his own will, it is generally not recognized. Only when force majeure occurs and causes him to leave the team, will he be allowed to temporarily rest.

If the Shinigami who is on leave cannot return to the team for a long time, he will be directly expelled.

As for quitting the team, this is generally used for those Shinigami who are considered to be dangerous in their thoughts or behaviors. It is the same as being expelled from the academy. Members who are declared to have quit will be forcibly accommodated in the special prison building, that is, they will be put in prison and guarded.

Therefore, once a member of the Gotei 13 has to leave the team due to rebellion, death, retirement or expulsion, or someone is promoted to a higher position, the Gotei 13 will find other qualified people to replace their vacancies.

The current captain of the 6th Division is preparing to take a leave of absence for the reason of "retirement".

There was still some time left, but because the last vacancy of the thirteen captains of the Gotei 13 was about to be filled, the current captain of the Sixth Division wanted to step down directly and let his successor inherit his position.

"His successor is the 28th head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki, who is considered to be the best heir in history."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni told Aize about this in a slow tone.

"The Kuchiki family..."

Aize narrowed his eyes immediately.

There are nobles in the Soul Society, this is something everyone knows.

They are families composed of descendants of pioneers with a long history in the Soul Society. Each family can be called a clan, and they are descendants of the Shinigami who are born with extremely excellent spiritual power.

Among these many nobles, there are four oldest families.

These four oldest families are relatives of each other, and each generation has produced people with extraordinary spiritual power or outstanding abilities.

They receive elite education, hold important positions in the Gotei 13 and other organizations, and have the obligation to set an example for the public in Soul Society.

The Kuchiki family is one of the four great nobles, and is also the leader of the four great nobles. They have the greatest power, and their members are the most respected among all the nobles. They have many servants and are the role models of all Shinigami. Their duty is to maintain and enforce the rules of Soul Society.

The captain and vice-captain of the 6th Division, a noble-only division, are usually held by the Kuchiki family. It can be said that this division itself is the private domain of the Kuchiki family. Basically, only the people of the Kuchiki family can hold the position, at least the captain position is currently the case, and only the vice-captain position sometimes makes an exception.

Nowadays, the Kuchiki family has passed down to the 28th generation. The current leader is named Kuchiki Byakuya. He has surpassed the previous generation in strength in just a few decades, and is therefore regarded as the best in the history of the Kuchiki family. heir to genius.

"Although he is not as good as you, Kuchiki Byakuya is also a particularly outstanding person in the history of the nobility. From the moment he took over the position of leader, sooner or later the position of Captain of the Sixth Division will fall. on him."

Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's meaning is very simple, that is, it is better to choose the day than to hit it.

Since the last captain of the Gotei 13 is about to take office, let's just push out the leader who has already planned to take over.

"Tomorrow's captain inauguration ceremony will be the simultaneous succession ceremony for the third division and the sixth division."

Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni raised his wrinkled eyes, looked at Aize, and asked tentatively.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Hearing this, Aize shook his head.

"I don't have any problem." Aize smiled and said, "Even if there is a problem, it should be because the other party thinks there is a problem, right?"

The eldest son of a noble family might not be happy to attend the ceremony with a commoner who came from Rukongai and came from the filthiest District 80 as captain.

"The head of the Kuchiki family is a reasonable person and would not think that a genius who has repeatedly broken Soul Society records is not qualified to stand with him."

Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni said so.

"That's fine."

Ai Ze responded noncommittally.

"Changjiro." Seeing that the matter was settled, Yamamoto Genryanagi Shigekuni said to the deputy beside him: "Prepare a room for Captain Ai."

This time, the other party no longer even called Ai Ze, but directly called Captain Ai.

This shows that Aize's becoming captain will basically not change, let alone any accidents.

"yes."

Bird Chojiro nodded and bent towards Aize.

"Please come this way, Captain Ai."

The vice-captain of the first team's attitude towards Aize has also changed. He is no longer treating a rising star, but treating him as a being above himself.

This made Aize once again feel how strict the hierarchy of Soul Society is.

but……

"It's not bad."

As a beneficiary, Aize accepted it calmly.

…………

The next day, early morning.

When Aize woke up from his sleep and tidied himself up, his attire had changed significantly.

The white clothes he wore when he was a student of the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy have disappeared, replaced by a black kimono and a white haori.

"Is this the Death Tyrant costume?"

Aize looked at the kimono under the white feather fabric and touched it curiously.

There is no mistake, every song is released and the content is read one by one!

To him, it seemed like it was just an ordinary kimono.

In fact, this outfit is all black, with the upper body in a kimono style and the lower body in trousers with extremely wide legs. It is the work clothes that the Shinigami must wear when performing their duties, and its name is the Death Clothes.

Ai Ze didn't notice the difference between the Death Domination outfit and ordinary clothes.

All he knew was that this was a strange piece of clothing that would return to full condition along with the wearer's spiritual pressure when damaged.

"It feels quite comfortable to wear, and there is no obvious discomfort."

Ai Ze moved his body and felt that this Death God costume was unexpectedly convenient for movement. No wonder so many Death Gods were wearing it and running around without affecting anything.

As for the white haori worn outside the death tyrant uniform, it is a costume that only the captain is qualified to wear.

In the Gotei 13, all the Shinigami wear Death Overlord uniforms, but only the captain wears a numbered white haori.

Like Aize, the haori he was wearing at this time had the number "three" on the back, which represented his identity as the captain of the third division.

In addition, the captain's haori has long sleeves, short sleeves, or even sleeveless. Like Kenpachi Zaraki's captain's haori, the hem is still jagged, and it seems that it can be selected and modified according to personal interests.

Aize's captain, Haori, is sleeveless, so under his haori he wears a Death Domination outfit, and his hands also have the black sleeves of a Death Doge outfit. Paired with the sleeveless white Haori, it gives a rather uninhibited feeling.

By the way, as the existence second only to the captain, although the vice-captains do not have Haori, they all wear death uniforms like ordinary team members, but they have vice-captains, which are usually worn on their arms.

For example, the deputy captain of the 1st Squadron, Takuchojiro, wears a deputy squadron embroidered with the 1st Squadron number on his arm. Ichimaru Gin also wears a deputy squadron embroidered with the 5th Squadron number on his arm. a status symbol.

"That's it."

Aizawa hung his Zanpakutō on the waist of his Death Overlord costume and covered it with Captain Haori. This was his external image from now on.

"The time is almost up, Captain Ai."

Chojiro's voice sounded just right from outside the door.

"You can go to the inauguration ceremony."

Hearing this, Ai Ze turned around, came to the door, and opened the door.

"Then let's go."

Aize smiled calmly, not looking like someone who was about to become the god of death.

However, Chojiro felt a trace of pressure from Aize like this, which made him look solemn on the spot.

"This spiritual pressure..."

Chojiro Suzu finally understood why the captain-general appointed such a young student as the captain of the third division.

Although he had never seen the scene of Aize killing Yachukas with one sword, nor had he seen the scene when he defeated Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the eleventh division, the spiritual pressure that made him feel pressured was enough to prove that he had the qualifications and ability.

"Please."

Chojiro Suzu's attitude towards Aize suddenly became more respectful.

Aize nodded, and under the leadership of Chojiro Suzu, he went to the site of the inauguration ceremony.

…………

At this time, some captains of each division had already arrived at the first division's barracks, while others were still late.

As one of the protagonists today, Aize was not led to the room where the captains were, but was led to the compartment next to it, waiting to go on stage.

However, when he arrived here, there was already someone waiting in the compartment.

He was a very handsome man with long black hair, light purple eyes, and a cold expression. He wore a hair ornament called "Qianxing Clamp" on his head, which only nobles were allowed to wear. He also wore a scarf called "Silver Wind Flower Veil" on his neck. He was wearing the same death suit and captain's haori as Aize.

The other party also wore white fingerless hand guards. The haori was sleeveless like Aize, and the Zanpakutō hanging on his waist was also covered with haori.

When Aize walked into the compartment and saw the other party, the other party also saw him and stared at him.

"... Aize?"

I don't know if it was because he was very frugal with words, but the other party said something as cold as his appearance.

"It's the truth."

Aize formed a sharp contrast with the other party. His tone was not cold, but on the contrary, he was full of smiles.

"You are Captain Kuchiki Byakuya, right?"

Aize looked at the other party and laughed.

"It's the truth." The other party actually said the same thing as Aize, and also glanced at Aize, saying: "I heard that you are an incredible genius?"

"I also heard that Captain Kuchiki is the best heir in the history of the Kuchiki family." Aize said calmly: "The title of genius seems to be appropriate for you, right?"

"But we are no longer geniuses who need to grow in the eyes of others, but are about to become captains." Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly: "I know that you defeated the captain of the 11th Division and proved your strength in front of all the captains."

"Unfortunately, I was not there and did not see that scene."

"If you have a chance, show me your strength."

Kuchiki Byakuya said so.

In response, Aize just smiled and said.

"There will be a chance."
