"I just don't know how talented the other fields are.."
The examiner couldn't help thinking aloud,
Zankensoki was just as its name suggested. Its importance was ranked in the order of the words in its name,
Swordsmanship was the most important, because in this era, when Zanpakutō were everywhere and served as a Soul Reaper's most important method of combat, everyone needed to carry a Zanpakutō,
Therefore, Swordsmanship was the skill every Soul Reaper most needed to master.
Next came Hakuda, Kido, and Shunpo,
Hakuda, the martial art of fighting with one's fists and feet, was closely related to and complemented Swordsmanship, so it was naturally indispensable,
After that came the ever-changing Kido, which often required incantations. It was rarely used in ever-changing battles unless one possessed extraordinary talent and could abandon the incantation while retaining the power of high-level Kido,
Last was Shunpo, which gave Soul Reapers speed far beyond that of ordinary people,
A master of Shunpo could move far faster than sound without even creating a sonic boom,
And Yoruichi Shihouin, who had defected not long ago, was the greatest master of Shunpo, known as the Flash Goddess,
'Generally speaking, if someone's Hakuda isn't bad..'
'They'll also have considerable talent in Swordsmanship.'
That was how the examiner assessed things.

Almost simultaneously, he and Rukia shot forward and attacked the examiner.
But how could the fighting skills of the two compare with the battle-hardened Nara Dan? They were even further from matching the examiner,
After only a few exchanges, the two began to falter. The examiner
