Restricted Death

Chapter 76 Rukia's Day

A major event happened in Soul Society in the past two days.

The captain of the Sixth Division, Ginrin Kuchiki, officially stepped down, and was succeeded by his grandson Byakuya Kuchiki as the new captain of the Sixth Division.

As an aristocratic squad, the captain of the Sixth Squad has always been a member of the Kuchiki family or a member of the aristocracy affiliated with the Kuchiki family.

The situation is similar with the Second Division, whose captains are also members of the Shihoin family. Although the current captain of the Second Division, Soi Fong, is not from the Shihoin family, the Fong family is an affiliated family of the Shihoin family.

Rukia took a day off in advance to attend Kuchiki Ginling's resignation ceremony.

Kuchiki Ginling not only resigned from the position of captain of the 6th Division, but also from the position of head of the Kuchiki family.

At the same time as Kuchiki Ginryu's resignation ceremony, Kuchiki Byakuya's inauguration as captain was also held.

Byakuya Kuchiki is the most talented member of the Kuchiki family in hundreds of years. He has always done an excellent job as vice-captain and mastered Bankai early on.

On this day, Rukia met many important people whom she would never meet on other days. All the current captains of the Gotei 13 were present, as well as members of the Central 46 Chambers and many core members of the nobles.

Looking at the respect these people showed towards Kuchiki Ginrin and Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia truly felt the power of the Kuchiki family in Soul Society.

During this period, many people took the initiative to talk to her.

Most of them were young sons of nobles. What made Rukia embarrassed was that many young men among the affiliated nobles of the Kuchiki family were dressed up beautifully today and ran up to her to show their courtesy.

This was a bit too much for Rukia.

After staying in the Kuchiki family for so long, she also understood some things.

As one of the four great noble families, Kuchiki is already the most honorable surname in Soul Society. Whether male or female, if they want to marry into the family, they can only find some lower-class nobles, and preferably nobles who are affiliated with them.

In other words, if Rukia wants to find a husband in the future, she will most likely choose from those who are courting her today.

Of course, there are exceptions. The senior officers in the Thirteenth Squad are also qualified to marry into the Kuchiki family.

Rukia was wearing a set of all-white aristocratic attire prepared for her by the Kuchiki family. She tried her best to maintain a polite smile on her face, but the men wandering around in front of her really made her feel irritated.

She thought of the president. The president's future achievements would definitely be more than just a high-ranking official.

Even if it is the vice-captain or captain, the president is definitely capable of doing it.

the other side.

Byakuya Kuchiki, wearing the captain's haori, was chatting with several captains.

"That child is Rukia, right?" Ukitake Jushiro said as he looked at the girl who was surrounded by a group of people not far away.

He couldn't help but say, "It's really like..."

Kuchiki Byakuya remained calm and said nothing.

Among the current captains, he has a closer relationship with Ukitake Jushiro, or it can be said that Ukitake has a good relationship with everyone.

The captain of the fifth division is in a similar situation to Ukitake.

"She is still studying at the Spiritual Arts Academy. I saw her when I went there before. Why didn't she join Team 13 directly?" asked Aizen Sosuke.

"She's only been enrolled for a year. Let's wait until she's qualified." Kuchiki Byakuya said.

Ukitake chuckled, "You're too strict. There are some easier clerical jobs in Squad 13, and you can progress faster in Squad 13."

Aizen then asked, "Which division does Captain Kuchiki plan to let her join in the future? Division 6?"

"No." Kuchiki Byakuya rejected.

Ukitake was thoughtful after hearing this. He thought of something. He probably didn't want Byakuya Kuchiki to have Rukia around him every day. "If you don't mind, you can come to the 13th Division."

"I'll consider it."

After the inauguration ceremony, Rukia went back with the Kuchiki family, which made Rukia finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Renci could never imagine what I went through today...

She thought to herself.

evening.

Byakuya Kuchiki had just returned from the 6th Division barracks. He first went to talk with Ginrin Kuchiki in the room for a while. After they were finished, Rukia came to see him.

"What's up?"

Rukia felt that after her brother became the captain, his aura seemed to be even stronger, which made her extremely nervous when answering.

"That's right, my dear brother. The Spiritual Arts Academy will soon be holding its new cultural festival, so I was wondering if you would like to attend."

"Cultural Festival?" Kuchiki Byakuya paused for a moment, then he remembered that the Spiritual Arts Academy also held such an event at this time last year, and it was also at that time that his grandfather met Rukia in the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Rukia continued to explain, "This year's cultural festival will be even more grand than last year. The president has put a lot of thought into it and has invited more people from outside the school to participate. I hope you, my brother, can also take some time to enjoy it and relax."

"I see."

Byakuya Kuchiki did not give a clear response, but Rukia did not dare to ask any further questions. After bowing, she was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Byakuya Kuchiki.

"Brother?"

"How are your grades at the Spiritual Arts Academy?"

Rukia's heart suddenly tightened when she heard this. In the past, Kuchiki Byakuya had never asked her about anything at school, or rather, he had never asked her about it.

After the Kuchiki family adopted her, they just kept her at home as a mascot.

Rukia's mind raced as she slowly said, "My grades in Kidō are okay, but I'm only average in other areas."

She felt a little embarrassed and ashamed after she finished speaking.

"Are you ranked first in the Kidō class?" Byakuya asked.

Rukia was even more embarrassed. "Top...top five..."

Every student in Class A would be a top student if placed in a regular class. The reason she can rank among the top five in ghost studies is because she has a teacher at home who helps her practice every day.

The real top student in the class is Kira Izuru, whose performance in all aspects is extremely excellent and balanced. However, Kira is slightly inferior to Hinamori in kido, and slightly inferior to Renji in kendo.

"I understand. You can leave now." Bai Ya said indifferently.

He asked this question because he really didn't know how Rukia performed in the Spiritual Arts Academy. In his opinion, these were all unimportant matters, and he didn't expect Rukia to be able to stand out.

Before the Kuchiki family adopted Rukia, they had carefully investigated Rukia's information. At that time, Rukia's performance in the Spiritual Arts Academy could only be considered "average".

Later, he found four teachers to teach Rukia every day. He wanted to know how Rukia was progressing now.

If her grades were "acceptable", Rukia could graduate directly from the Spiritual Arts Academy. In Byakuya Kuchiki's opinion, there was really no need for the Kuchiki family to waste time in the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Rukia was worried. She didn't know why her brother suddenly cared about her grades.

However, this made her think that she needed to work harder.

Even if it's for nothing else, in order to catch up with the president, I shouldn't slack off at all!
