.
During that night, Kaname Madoka used his Bankai at the last moment, bringing the death toll for the entire battle back to zero, and afterwards he concealed his presence again.
However, the damage to the buildings did not stop at the same time. Renovation was going on all over Seireitei, and Area 78 of Rukongai, which had turned into a wasteland, was no longer suitable for Rukongai to live in.
Each team is dealing with some head and tail issues.
The second team went to Hueco Mundo and the real world to track down the whereabouts of Urahara Kisuke.
The captain of the third squad, Houqiao Loujuro, is recuperating.
The Fourth Division was working overtime to take care of the wounded. Kaname Madoka only resurrected the dead, and because her spiritual power was not enough, she did not take care of the injured.
The captain of the 5th Division, Makoto Hirako, is facing off against his vice-captain.
The captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Rokuguruma, has resigned, and the deputy captain, Haku Kunan, has resigned. The team is currently looking for a new captain.
The 11th Division is in the process of handing over the captaincy.
As for the 12th Division, due to the captain's "defection", most of the experiments in the Technology Development Bureau entered a period of stagnation.
The Technical Development Bureau is an organization under the 12th Division created by Urahara Kisuke. After Urahara Kisuke's "defection", whether this organization can continue to exist has become a question.
This is not just a matter of losing one’s job, but a matter of life and death for many people!
In Soul Society, the nobles' rule has lasted for millions of years, and they have always restricted technological advances beyond their control, even through legislation.
For those who conduct scientific research privately, it’s okay if they are just messing around, but if they really find something, Xing Jun may come to your door the next day!
Many of these 'scientists' in the Technology Development Bureau were fished out by Urahara Kisuke from the heavy-duty prison, the maggot nest!
If the Technology Development Bureau is closed down due to the downfall of Urahara Kisuke, then some important members of the Technology Development Bureau will have to return to the Maggot's Nest to serve their sentences!
Under such circumstances, who would still have the energy to do research? !
Oh, there are two more.
One is Li Zhong, who keeps out of the matter.
The other is the already insane Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who is using the advanced equipment of the 12th Division to cut himself open and dissect him, studying bit by bit how the rotation of the magnetic field affects the body of the god of death.
In addition to emotional reasons, another reason that stalls most experiments is funding.
The captain is gone, and financial assistance to the 12th Division from all parties has stopped, especially the funds from the major sponsor, the Shifengyuan family, which has been completely cut off.
As for the remaining expenses in the team, no one has the right to distribute them reasonably!
By the way, Li Zhong has funding channels from the Xia Dalu family, so he was not affected by this.
Time passed little by little amid the busyness of each squad and the frightening leisure of Squad 12.
Until one day, a transfer order came to Li Zhong.
During this period, Li Zhong stayed in his laboratory.
As Kenpachi Zaraki learned how to rotate the magnetic field during the battle, his teaching mission had been completed. Everyone was busy during this period and no one had the time to find Li Zhong for one-on-one tutoring, so he could naturally concentrate on his experiments and studies.
Until today.
"Go to the first team for a meeting?" Looking at the content of the transfer order, Li Zhong was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of meeting it was that could be related to him.
But now I am still serving under the Gotei 13, so I still have to go.
We walked through the Soul Society in silence. We could see that there were no traces of the previous battle in the current Soul Society. There were only some scattered places where workers were still repairing them. I think it would be fully restored in another three or two days.
When I arrived at the First Team, the atmosphere was as serious as ever, and the guards were tight.
Li Zhong showed his transfer order to the guard. After carefully checking it, the guard led the way and took Li Zhong to the meeting place.
Li Zhong had been to the First Team's dojo once.
This is where the Shinigami usually train their swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Captain-General Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni likes to entertain others and hold important meetings here.
The three characters 'Genyusai' in his name represent Captain-General Yamamoto's identity as the original head of the Shinigami teaching institution. After he became the captain-general, Genryusai also transformed into the Maou Spiritual Academy.
For him, the place called the Dojo can make him feel relaxed and think more clearly.
After Li Zhong entered, he found that most of the captains of the Gotei 13 were inside.
His brows twitched slightly, realizing that the captain called him over this time and the matter might not be simple.
Sure enough, the first thing Captain Yamamoto said was...
"Li Zhong, the third seat of the 12th Division, several captains have recommended you to take over the position of captain of the 12th Division. Do you have any objections? Do you agree to accept the captain's assessment?"
……ah?
Li Zhong was slightly stunned. Multiple captains recommended? Who were they?
Li Zhong's eyes swept across the faces of the captains standing in front.

Flags cannot be placed randomly, the boomerang is a bit fast, after a day's work, I came back and felt a bit repetitive, so I took a nap first, the update is a bit late, sorry_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 79 Captain Assessment
It is not easy to become the captain of the Gotei 13.
Excluding the 11th squad, where one can take over the captain position simply by having an extraordinary ability to kill people and kill the predecessor, in the remaining squads, if one wants to become a captain one must follow the normal process.
That is, at least three captains must recommend it, and a captains' meeting must be held to vote on it. No more than half of the captains can object. It must also be subject to the captain's assessment and possess Bankai.
Many people die in this world every day, and although the souls of Soul Society can mate and reproduce with each other, there are still not many people who possess third-level spiritual power.
It is even rarer to be both powerful and able to gain recognition from others.
Li Zhong was quite confused about this point.
Since he joined the 12th Division, he has never done anything of this kind, nor has he deliberately made friends with anyone. So who on earth recommended him to be the captain?
Li Zhong's question was soon answered because the other party did not hide anything at all.
Li Zhong glanced at the faces of the captains.
The first thing that caught my eye was the fighting spirit of the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki.
Then, the captain of the 7th Division, Aikawa Luowu, smiled and nodded.
There is also the complicated look of the captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu.
The other captains all looked normal.
Well, these should be the three people.
The reason of the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, was simple and plain. He just wanted to fight against the strong. However, if Li Zhong still held his position as the third seat of the 12th Division, fighting would not be very convenient.
Kenpachi Zaraki is a man obsessed with battle, and he can even limit his own strength for the joy of fighting, thus putting his life in danger.
But he is not a person who only cares about fighting and ignores everything else. He has his own persistence and will also think about people he agrees with, so he took the lead in recommending Li Zhongcheng as captain and visited other teams one by one, trying to get their support.
This actually involves certain risks.
If something goes wrong with the recommended captain, the original recommender will bear certain joint liabilities.
Strictly speaking, in this incident involving Kisuke Urahara, as the person who recommended him to become the captain, Yoruichi Shihouin would have suffered some consequences, but because of her status as a great noble at the top of Soul Society, and because it was difficult to treat her differently, she lifted him up high and then let him go easily along with the other recommenders. If it were someone else, she would probably have to pay a heavy price.
Having just experienced the Urahara Kisuke incident, the captains naturally had no interest in being recommenders.
So he rejected Kenpachi Zaraki's proposals one by one.
Only the first generation Kenpachi Unohana Retsu, who had a deep connection with Kenpachi Zaraki, agreed.
Now there are two captains, and only one more is needed to meet the first condition, so Kenpachi Zaraki recalled the details of Jie's visits to the captains.
There is no need to consider the second, fifth, sixth, eighth, and thirteenth squads, as these captains are obviously wary of Li Zhong's existence.
With the First Squad excluded, the captain position of the Ninth Squad is vacant.
As for the remaining three, seven, and ten teams... Kenpachi Zaraki found the one that was the most shaken at the beginning.
He visited the 7th Division together with Unohana Retsu.
The captain of the third squad is not familiar with the captain of the tenth squad and Li Zhong.
However, the captain of the seventh team, Aikawa Luowu, did have some personal relationship with Li Zhong. It was not a very deep relationship, but during the communication process he felt that Li Zhong was a good person.
He was like some other captains, with eighty thoughts in his mind. Being a simple man, he trusted his own feelings more. Plus, with the support of his senior (crossed out), the trustworthy captain Unohana Retsu, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
If there is a heavyweight who is not easy to punish among the recommenders, even if something happens, the rest of the people will most likely not be implicated too much. Based on the Urahara Kisuke incident, Aikawa Ratake thinks so.
Just like that, Captain Li Zhong’s recommendation was successful.
The next step is the captain meeting vote.
This step is relatively simple. The captain-general gave the order to hold a meeting. The captains who had been visited by Kenpachi Zaraki before also knew why this meeting was held. After arriving at the scene, they expressed their opinions without any nonsense.
The captain of the Second Division, Shihouin Yoruichi, and the captain of the Sixth Division, Kuchiki Ginrin, two great nobles, are closely related and think that it is a bit too hasty to let a Shinigami who has just joined the Soul Society and has an unknown background be the captain. Even if he is suitable, they have to observe him for a while.
The two brothers, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, looked at each other. Although they did not trust Li Zhong very much, they believed in the judgment of their old man Yamamoto and did not object.
The three and ten teams just kept out of the matter as it had nothing to do with them.
The captain of the Fifth Division, Makoto Hirako, was focused on Aizen, and since most of the people present did not clearly object, she remained silent.
At this point, excluding the captain-general, the 9th squad which had vacant captain positions, and the 12th squad, a total of ten captains participated in the voting.
Two captains opposed, three captains supported, and five captains acquiesced.
With no more than half of the captains objecting, Li Zhong's second step on the path to becoming captain was completed.
Next, Li Zhong received a transfer order to go to the First Squadron to attend a meeting.
The captain asked Li Zhong if he was willing to accept the captain's assessment.
...There is a more interesting thing, that is, the captain needs to master Zanpakuto's Bankai, but Li Zhong has never shown his Bankai in front of others.
But everyone else tacitly acknowledged Li Zhonghui's Bankai.
"It would be strange if he doesn't have Bankai with such strong spiritual pressure." This is the opinion of most captains.
Because the communication was not deep and Kenpachi Zaraki had only been there for a short time, they even thought that Kenpachi Zaraki also knew Bankai.
After all, second-class spiritual power doesn't know Bankai or anything like that, which is a bit beyond their common sense.
Li Zhong thought carefully about the captain's question.
I feel that as the captain, although I have a lot of responsibilities, I will also gain a lot of authority accordingly. At least some key technical knowledge that was previously blocked by Urahara Kisuke will be available to me.
Moreover, there will be some conveniences in controlling the Technology Development Bureau.
Responsibilities... As the saying goes, let the secretary do the important things, and delegate the trivial matters to the subordinates to do as they please. You just need to supervise and be responsible for the overall situation.
Thinking of this, Li Zhong nodded and agreed to the captain's assessment.
The captain assessment is actually not a complicated thing.
Cutting fist and walking with ghosts, the basic skills of the god of death.
Then comes the general history of Soul Society and the Gotei 13... Well, this part should be answered according to the textbook, and the real history cannot be written in.
Finally, there is the duty and spirit of the god of death, as well as the most basic assessment of leadership ability.
Oh, I almost forgot, I also have to show off my Bankai.
All of the above are easy for Li Zhong to obtain.
Chapter 80: Li Zhong takes office as the captain of the 12th Division and the prelude to the storm
For those who are eligible to compete for captaincy, the so-called captaincy assessment is far less difficult than the captaincy recommendation and meeting vote.
With the exception of the 11th Division, becoming a captain requires mastering Bankai.
For a Shinigami who is strong enough to master Bankai, the combat part of the captain's examination can basically be passed 100%.
As for the non-combat parts... the Gotei 13 is still a military organization after all, and those non-military tests are just like the cultural courses for art students and are not very difficult.
The most important thing in everyone's competition is the skill level. Whether or not one can fight is the first criterion for assessing the Gotei 13. The rest is just for show.
But whether anyone is willing to recommend you and whether others will object to it requires you to spend a long time and demonstrate your trustworthiness bit by bit.
Regarding this point, relying on the endorsement of the captain and his significant contributions that everyone could see, Li Zhong overcame this hurdle.
After this step, the world will be bright and the captain's assessment will be passed with eyes closed for someone of Li Zhong's level.
As for the final Bankai display.
Zanpakutō Bankai is the ultimate means for the God of Death in the conventional sense.
