One sword was all it took to pass the entrance assessment

Saint Seiya Shazo exclaimed, "That's truly amazing! Suddenly I feel so inferior to us Saints. We possess such immense power, yet we're confined to this tiny Earth."

"Not only do we have to fight to the death with another group of gods' warriors, but the key is that we've been fighting for thousands of years, and it's all been to no avail, without even a result."

"This is really boring."

Saiyan Shazo laughed heartily, "It's alright. If you really find it boring, then just challenge the Gods directly."

Saint Seiya Shazo chuckled, "No, I don't want to die."

"Once my challenge is over, regardless of whether I obtain the Cloth or not, I will leave the Sanctuary."

"I want to eat delicious food, drink fine wine, enjoy life, and discuss life with beautiful women all night long."

"Speaking of which, I'm trapped in the Sanctuary. All the beautiful girls there are Saints stronger than me, which is why I'm stuck single until I'm 20, becoming an older Saint candidate."

"But what's wrong with you?"

Saiyan Shazo smiled wryly, "Could the female Saints within the Sanctuary possibly be stronger than the female Saiyan from Planet Vegeta?"

"You must understand, Saiyan are extremely fond of strength, and women throughout the race revere power. Women who can maintain a perfect figure and beautiful face after rigorous training are extremely rare."

Saiyan Shazo pointed to his nose. "What makes me, a Mid-Class Warrior disguised as Low-Class Warrior, capable of attracting those incredibly beautiful women?"

"Besides, they are all loyal subjects of King Vegeta. What if they find out I'm hiding my strength? Hehe, what am I going to do then?"

Pirate Shazo laughed heartily, "It's alright, you can find the good times in our memories. After all, some of Shazo lived quite carefree lives."

Marvel Shazo pointed at Pirate Shazo and said, "Just watch him. He can eat 200 pounds of meat in one meal. His eating and drinking habits are absolutely top-notch."

Pirate Shazo curled his lip. "You lolicon, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Marvel Shazo's excitement vanished instantly, and he stammered, "I'm not a lolicon, really not. You know, I haven't eaten Skye yet."

Star Trek Shazo chuckled and mocked, "A man and a woman alone in a room, except for the final step, you've already done everything to that young girl. What difference does it make whether you eat her or not?"

"Look at Naruto Shazo, he has two girls, and he's perfectly fine with them, never making a move. That Golden-Haired girl with Twin-Tails was only able to get her way because she was drugged."

Naruto Shazo looked utterly despairing. Being "used" like this was nothing to be proud of.

Marvel Shazo dared not say anything more and silently shut his mouth.

Misaka Shazo dared not speak, as her level of eroticism in daily life was ten times greater than that of Marvel Shazo.

A group of Shazo's jokes and antics finally made the Devouring Shazo laugh, greatly relieving the gloomy mood brought on by the tension and tragedy.

The Bleach World, the Soul Society.

Graduation day at the Central Spirit Arts Academy is also the day when the eleven divisions recruit new members.

In the Gotei 13, the First Division and the Thirteenth Division do not recruit newly graduated students.

Prior to this, all the sixth-year students who failed to graduate were sent out of the Soul Society. They were either absorbed into some service departments, such as building houses, cleaning, cooking in the kitchen, or even cutting clothes in the textile shop.

Or perhaps they become part-time Death God without a squad, stationed in the World of the Living collecting souls, or Konoha Military Police Force patrolling the edge of Hueco Mundo, sending alarm signals to the Gotei 13 with their own lives.

Graduates who pass the graduation exam are required to be recruited; the only difference is which squad they join.

The most popular unit is undoubtedly the Eleventh Division, responsible for combat. After six years of training, they finally become Death God, and who wouldn't want to be the Superstar fighting on the front lines?

Ordinary people just play games, but they want to play assassins and mages.

The 12th Division, responsible for scientific research, was the fastest to pack up. The professional barriers of this division were too high, and Death God could and could not enter already knew about it. They were just going through the motions here.

Although Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi has an eccentric personality, he must still give face to the Captain-Commander in formal situations, or he will be yelled at by the old man.

Secondly, there's the Sixth Division. As a private domain for nobles, their primary concern is lineage. Therefore, they accept all noble graduates, and the assessment process is as simple as asking their names, making it the second fastest.

The Fifth Division of the Support Force is the most popular among female Death God because its captain, Sōsuke Aizen gentle, composed, kind, and charming.

The quietest unit was the Fourth Division, which was responsible for medical care and support, but both Captain Retsu Unohana and Vice-Captain Isane Kotetsu remained quite calm.

Because of the extremely low number of casualties, the Fourth Division is the largest of the 13 Divisions and has no shortage of manpower.

Shazo obediently joined the application line for the Eleventh Division, waiting for the assessment to begin.

As the squad with the strongest combat focus and the highest casualty rate, the Eleventh Division's recruitment criteria are solely based on Swordsmanship.

If you can withstand three moves from the 10th Seat, Horiuchi Jusaburo, you will pass the test and be allowed to join the Eleventh Division.

If you can persist for 30 moves, you will be qualified to challenge for 19 seats and have the opportunity to become Seated Officer on the spot.

However, if one can directly defeat Horiuchi Jusaburo, one can directly obtain the position of the 10th Seat Seated Officer and become the Meijin of the Soul Society this year.

To give face to the Captain-Commander, Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the Eleventh Division who is always on the front lines, also appeared at the scene today.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki appeared extremely agitated. He was like a caged beast, glaring at each graduate in the team, as if he were about to replace Horiuchi Jusaburo and take charge of the team members' assessment at any moment.

Well, the evaluation Commodore be changed to: those who survive will join the team, and those who don't will die.

As Kenpachi Zaraki's aura grew stronger and more uncontrollable, the graduates in line all felt his terrifying presence.

The young Death God were terrified; some were drenched in sweat, while others trembled with fear.

Even the 10th Seat, Horiuchi Jūzaburō, was affected. He lost control of his strength during the attack and, with all his might, severely injured the graduate taking the exam with a single sword strike, nearly beheading the Bad Luck.

Fortunately, Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, was present and Shikai her Zanpakuto Minazuki, using the miraculous Echo, saving the dying graduate.

With this incident, the 10th Seat Horiuchi Jusaburo, was trembling and had no idea what to do, making it impossible for the Eleventh Division's assessment to continue.

It was only when the captain of the Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyōraku, couldn't stand it anymore that he chuckled and advised, "Captain Zaraki, please tone down your aura and Spiritual Pressure a bit. You're scaring the children."

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned and said, "Ah, I really want to chop someone down, I can't resist the urge to fight."

"Captain Shunsui Kyōraku, you know I can't control my Spiritual Pressure. Instead of advising me to restrain myself, it would be more useful to draw your Katen Kyokotsu and fight me."

Shunsui Kyōraku shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, that's too much trouble."

"Furthermore, in Seireitei, captains are not allowed to Bankai, making such battles extremely boring."

Kenpachi Zaraki failed to grasp Shunsui Kyōraku's intention to evade the issue, instead misunderstanding that he meant the reason he couldn't fight was because of the Soul Society.

He excitedly asked, "So leaving the Soul Society means I can fight Captain Shunsui Kyōraku? That's great! How about we go to Rukongai? I'll definitely have a good fight with you."

Shunsui Kyōraku's mouth dropped open in utter astonishment at Kenpachi Zaraki's level of understanding.

He took off his straw hat and pleaded with the utmost sincerity, "I misspoke, I'm sorry."

"Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, I don't want to fight you, not at all."

Kenpachi Zaraki gave a disappointed "Oh," and said, "So you don't want to fight me after all. How disappointing."

Vice-captain Yachiru Kusajishi suddenly crawled out from behind Kenpachi Zaraki and comforted him, saying, "Don't be angry, Little Kenpachi. It'll be over soon, and then we'll go fight Hollows."

Kenpachi Zaraki took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. "Alright, I'll try to bear it."

With Kenpachi Zaraki calming down, the assessment finally returned to normal.

Seeing that the captain's breathing was fluctuating, the 10th Seat, Horiuchi Jusaburo, couldn't help but speed up the assessment, which greatly increased the difficulty. More than half of the graduates were defeated with a single blow and then sent to the Fourth Division for treatment.

Finally, it was Shazo's turn to take the test.

Horiuchi Jūzaburō had been tested hundreds of times today and was already numb to it.

After Shazo entered the arena, he didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed a high-level slash.

Last night, Shazo was deeply affected by his experience of the Heavenly Tribulation Shazo and the tragic scene of Devouring Shazo, which greatly shook his mind about hiding and waiting for an opportunity, a principle he had upheld for over 200 years.

Stimulated by Kenpachi Zaraki's aura, and in his confusion, he couldn't help but draw his Asauchi and thrust it at Horiuchi Jusaburo's opening.

Laugh--!

Horiuchi Jūzaburō was not as fast as Shazo. His sword technique involved raising his sword high and then slashing down, with the distance of his swing far exceeding that of Shazo's straight thrust. As a result, Shazo's sword struck first despite being Asauchi, piercing Horiuchi Jusaburo lost its power halfway through the attack and fell limply onto Shazo's shoulder, failing to even cut through the black Shinigami uniform.

It wasn't until he had killed 10th Seat Seated Officer with a single sword strike that Shazo's mind finally cleared, and he couldn't help but sigh.

[Damn it, I've become famous without even realizing it. Now Aizen, the boss, is coming after me.]

But Shazo didn't regret it. So what if he was discovered? Fame didn't matter. His own strength was already top-notch. Even if he lacked resistance to hypnosis and Genjutsu, would that affect his strength?

Shazo's heart was more resolute than ever before, like a flawless Vajra, no longer afraid of the threat that Aizen might pose.

He Asauchi sword and smiled, "Looks like I've successfully joined the Eleventh Division, and I'm the 10th Seat now, right?"

Captain Kenpachi Zaraki grinned and laughed heartily, "That's right. No matter the reason, you defeated the 10th Seat of the Eleventh Division, so you are the new 10th Seat Seated Officer."

Shazo bowed respectfully and said, "Captain Zaraki, please take care of me from now on."

Kenpachi Zaraki, his aura surging, laughed loudly and said, "No need to wait until later, I'll teach you Swordsmanship now."

"Draw your sword, boy!"

Shazo was stunned. "Huh?"

But Kenpachi Zaraki had already raised his tattered Asauchi katana, bringing with it a sharp, whistling sound, and slashed down at Shazo.

With that fierce stance and relentless attack, Shazo felt that Kenpachi was definitely aiming to kill him.

Helpless, Shazo could only raise his long sword and gently parry Kenpachi Zaraki's blade, the loud impact echoing throughout the scene.

Kenpachi Zaraki frenzied. "Hahaha, you're really strong! You seem to be just as strong as me!"

"Seriously, even this year's top graduate isn't this strong. What's your ranking?"

Shazo's helpless expression vanished without a trace. He deflected Zaraki's longsword and replied, "Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, I am the third-ranked graduate this year."

Kenpachi Zaraki sheathed his sword and sneered, "Your skill level is no worse than my Third Seat and Fifth Seat. The third-ranked graduate, huh? You've been hiding your strength all this time?"

Shazo answered frankly, "Yes, Captain Zaraki."

Kenpachi Zaraki asked curiously, "Why not continue to hide your strength, but instead choose to expose it?"

Shazo, of course, couldn't tell the truth. He went along with Kenpachi Zaraki's preferences and argued, "Having joined the Eleventh Division and become Death God in a combat division, one's style should be the same as the captain's: going all out in battle, rather than hiding one's strength and waiting for the enemy to weaken."

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed heartily, "Great! Excellent, absolutely excellent!!"

"Kid, you said you'd fight with all your might, and I'm going to go all out and chop people down!"

As he spoke, his Spiritual Pressure erupted, blowing away the surrounding graduates and recruiters like a storm. At the same time, he swung his long sword like a windmill, making it appear as if he was about to launch a full-scale attack on Shazo.

Shunsui Kyōraku reached up and pressed his straw hat down, sighing, "Damn it, Kenpachi's gone mad again. The Captain-Commander isn't here; who can stop him from causing trouble?"

The pink-haired deer Yachiru suddenly appeared on Kyoraku Shunsui's body. She grabbed the handsome middle-aged man's hair and yelled, "Don't talk bad about Koken, little Kyoraku!"

Shunsui Kyōraku immediately surrendered. "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, just get down here."

After some commotion, Shunsui Kyōraku sacrificed his straw hat to escape Yachiru's clutches, and then quickly moved to the side of Retsu Unohana, the Fourth Division Captain.

Although he didn't know why, Shunsui Kyōraku knew that Yachiru Kusajishi respected Retsu Unohana and would never mess around her.

To hide her embarrassment, Shunsui poured herself a glass of wine, muttering as she drank, "Never mind, even if the old man isn't here, it's the same as Retsu Unohana- senpai here."

Retsu Unohana glanced tenderly at Shunsui Kyōraku, then looked in surprise at the center of the arena.

Shunsui Kyōraku forgot about drinking and looked over in utter surprise.

The next moment, the two of them, along with all the vice- Captain-level Death God present, exclaimed in surprise.

"Um?
