"Oh? So Yinsen is the new captain of the Twelfth Division?"
The first to arrive were Sixth Division Captain Ginrei Kuchiki and Ninth Division Captain Kensei Muguruma.
As a Great Noble, Ginrei Kuchiki was extremely mindful of his conduct and would never do anything discourteous.

So he did not think rebuilding the Tenth Division would be particularly difficult. Once the next batch of graduates
