Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"The purpose is to conduct a captain assessment and observation on the second squad's third seat, Soi Fong."

"Today, at the Second Division's Sixth Officer vs. Third Officer Officer Challenge."

"I and the other three captains have unanimously agreed that the three Soi Fongs of the Second Division have reached the third level of spiritual power and have initially mastered Bankai, making them qualified to serve as captains."

"The above is the resolution of my elders and I. We are now presenting it here for your discussion and the decision of the Captain-General."

Kuchiki Ginling retreated back to the formation. Captain Yamamoto nodded and turned to look at the other side:

"Next, Captain Gui Yancheng..."

Yamamoto glared, released a strong breath, and scolded:

"How long are you going to sleep, you idiot?!"

Kenpachi Kiyomizu woke up with a start, picked his nose, and looked nonchalant:

"Ahh, this meeting is so long and boring, it's hard to stay awake."

He spread his hands:

"Besides, it's not my fault that this situation happened today."

"My participation is already giving everyone face."

The atmosphere in the meeting suddenly became tense, and veins throbbed on Yamamoto's shiny forehead.

“Well, well!”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ukitake Jushiro hurried out of the queue.

He smiled, scratched his head, and said:

"Captain, and everyone else, I will now report!"

"Like Captain Kuchiki and the others, we've received an application for the captaincy assessment from Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the third seat in Division 12."

"Captain Yamamoto will lead the team, along with me, Captain Oni Yancheng, and Vice Captain Suzube."

Having said that, he turned around and nodded to Chojiro Suzuki with a smile.

Suzuki Chojiro touched his chest and nodded in return.

"The four of us will go to the 12th Division together to examine the qualifications of the Third Seat Mayuri."

"Our resolution is..."

"The 'plan' proposed by Kurotsuchi Sansei is immature and unfeasible in the short term."

"In addition to this, he himself is also an expert in spiritual pressure and the four arts of the Death God, 'Zhan Quan Zou Gui'."

"Neither of them is good enough to be captain."

"Since the captain-sama is traveling with you, we have decided to reject Mayuri Kurotsuchi's application for the captaincy."

"Captains, please be informed of the above."

After saying that, Ukitake Jushiro retreated back to the team.

"Cough cough!"

Yamamoto coughed, attracting everyone's attention:

"During this period, everyone present has worked hard to ensure the stability of the Gotei 13 and the safety of the Soul Society."

"Is there anything you want to discuss about the third seat of Soi Fong in the Second Division?"

"Also, does anyone disagree with the decision regarding Mayuri Kuroda's third seat in Division 12?"

The captains were silent.

Only Kyōraku smiled and said:

"Mr. Shan, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me your decision."

Yamamoto blew his beard:

"You kid, be serious, this is a captain's meeting!"

Then, Captain Yamamoto coughed again and continued:

"Okay, then everyone has no objection."

"According to the procedure, the application for Nirvana's seat is rejected."

"Follow the same process for the three Broken Bees who have passed the captain's assessment and obtained the qualification..."

"Combat Assessment!"

"As for the selection, I'll take the trouble to make the trip for you!"

"I'll take your orders!"

He tapped the ground with his cane again and announced:

"That's it, let's break up the meeting!"

………………

Soul Society, Rukongai, Block 80.

at the same time.

Soi Fong is sensing spiritual pressure in the streets, looking for the next evil spirit to use as a test subject.

"Ding----"

The system sound suddenly rang out crisply.

"No, what's activated again?"

Broken Bee stopped and called out the system:

[(Newbie) Main Quest: Start from Captain] Progress refreshed!

[Mission objective updated: Pass the captain assessment (combat).]

“No, who?!————”

Soi-Fong's short hair stood on end and she couldn't help but scream.

She saw the system display:

[Defeat the examiner: Chojiro Suzuki]

Chapter 11 Examiner: Chojiro Suzu

Generally speaking, after passing the captain's assessment and observation, the qualifications are confirmed.

The first squadron will select an examiner to test the person being tested during battle.

According to convention, the one sent should be at the captain level.

Soi Fong originally guessed that the person coming was most likely Kyoraku Shunsui.

Among the current captains, Ukitake Jushiro has been in poor health for a long time and usually only attends meetings and does some work behind the scenes to make plans.

As a senior captain, Xiumu Yinling is too old to be a combat examiner.

Captain Unohana Retsu is the head of the medical squad and does not participate in combat affairs.

Of course, this is an apparent excuse.

Soi Fong knew that Captain Unohana Retsu, for special reasons, suppressed his murderous nature, stopped practicing medicine, and no longer took action.

"If Captain Unohana really were to test me, I would just give in."

Soi Fong doesn't want to face this god of death.

Among the remaining captains, Kenpachi Kiganjo inherited the title and status by killing the previous captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Gosuke.

This Tenth Generation Kenpachi has always disobeyed orders. He is too lazy to even attend captain's meetings, let alone go on field missions.

He is notorious in Soul Society for his poor popularity and bad temper.

And the 8th Squad's Kyoraku Shunsui looks like an eccentric playboy.

He wears women's clothing, wanders around during the day, and verbally teases female Death.

He passed out drunk in a pub at night and was dragged to the ground by the vice-captain and dragged back to the 8th Squad like a dog.

In reality, Kyoraku Shunsui is indeed a powerful Shinigami who possesses both intelligence and cunning.

In addition, Kyoraku Shunsui was Captain Yamamoto's first student and was deeply trusted by Yamamoto.

This is also the reason why Soi-Fong originally speculated that the examiner was Kyoraku Shunsui.

Soi Fong even reviewed the knowledge from her previous life and planned how to deal with Kyoraku Shunsui's Zanpakutō [Hanaten Kyōkotsu].

After all, the purpose of this type of assessment is to observe how the person being assessed performs under high-pressure combat.

Generally, the examinee is not required to completely defeat the examiner.

Unless they are truly gifted, it is often difficult for a candidate for captaincy who is about to be promoted to captain to defeat a veteran captain.

This is not just a matter of experience and experience.

The soul body will weaken, but the spiritual pressure will not.

The god of death is essentially a soul. The longer it lives, the stronger the spiritual power it accumulates.

Soi Fong made preparations in advance, and only intended to prolong the defeat.

But unexpectedly, the person who came was the assistant to the captain and the adjutant of the first squadron, Chojiro Suzuki.

"It's not easy..."

Soi Fong frowned and began to think.

Chojiro Suzuki can be said to be the oldest vice-captain in Soul Society.

He had followed Yamamoto since the team was first established.

Always at your service and extremely loyal.

But strangely, he doesn't have a good reputation among the Gotei 13.

Some soldiers called him "the vice-captain who never participated in the battle", and believed that he was arrogant because of his position as vice-captain of the first squadron.

Unlike the adjutants of other squads, he was either brave in battle and led by example, or approachable and attentive in guidance.

Commander Chojiro Suzuki always obeys the orders of Captain Yamamoto.

Some soldiers also challenged him, but he never accepted it.

So some people spread rumors that Chojiro Suzuki actually couldn't fight at all, was a show-off Shinigami, and didn't dare to accept challenges from others.

He ignored it.

Furthermore, he had always refused to serve as captain or take on any duties that came with captain-level authority.

This style of work was very displeasing to the team members.

For hundreds of years, this reputation has been passed down from mouth to mouth to the point of being extremely exaggerated.

For example, if another unsuspecting Shinigami seeks a promotion and discovers that their combat examiner is Chojiro Suzu.

He might wake up laughing in his dreams tonight, feeling that winning the battle is a sure thing.

This is how the young members of the Gotei 13 perceive the First Squadron's lieutenant.

But Soi Fong... is an insider.

She knew that Chojiro Suzuki had admired and followed Yamamoto for more than two thousand years.

How outrageous is this person's talent?

When he was young, he refused to enter the [Genjijuku] and was unwilling to be Yamamoto's student. He only wanted to be Yamamoto's deputy.

It only took him one month to master Bankai through his own understanding.

Then, during the battle, he used his newly acquired Bankai to leave a scar on Yamamoto's head.

From then on, the young Suzube became Yamamoto's deputy.
