The results of the academy students' division selections were out.
On the enlistment applications, eighty percent of the students had chosen the Ninth Division. Another ten percent had been assigned to the Kido Corps because their Zanpakuto were unsuitable.
The remaining ten percent were divided among the other divisions.
Divisions like the Tenth Division, which had no distinguishing traits and whose captain had an extremely low presence, had not even received a single decent enlistment application.
Overcome with grief and indignation, Isshin Shiba cast aside his image as a captain and came to the Ninth Division to wail.
Though it was all thunder and no rain, it still made Su Feng furrow his brow.
Not only had Isshin Shiba failed to anticipate this, but neither had he.
This round of Gotei 13 recruitment had turned out to be absurd to this extent.
Because of the accident during Soul Burial Practice, this year's academy students had worked especially hard on their training. On top of that, Su Feng had given people private lessons in Kendo several times, so their graduation had been moved up by a year or so.
But those were minor details. They were not important.
What mattered was that too many people had chosen the Ninth Division, leaving even him somewhat unsure how to handle them all.
Swallowing them all at once would not be much of a problem.
It would just inevitably lead to some lapses in management.
After all, as a hands-off captain, he paid little attention to most of the division's affairs, much less trained newcomers.
When the time came, all those related duties would be dumped onto Rangiku Matsumoto and the others.
Besides, the Ninth Division was now brimming with talent. It was no longer as destitute as when he had first taken over.
