The Commander-General's sharp gaze swept over all the Death Gods before finally settling on Byakuya Kuchiki and Soifon. "Byakuya, Soifon... I grant the divisions under your command the authority to recruit members independently. The recruits need only gain your approval!"
As his words fell, Byakuya Kuchiki and Soifon's eyes widened in shock. This authority would bring enormous benefits to their two noble divisions!
Within the Seireitei, every division could only recruit new members after students graduated from True Spirit Academy. Even then, graduates who wished to enter the Seireitei had to pass a so-called examination! The examination was difficult enough to eliminate many students. Thus, it was extremely hard for Seireitei divisions to replenish their ranks. Sometimes, it took more than a decade to recruit even one member! However, those who passed the examination were generally geniuses. Every member of a Seireitei division was an elite!
Unfortunately, this sort of examination restricted the development of every division! Now that the Second Division and Sixth Division could recruit independently, with the support of noble families behind Byakuya Kuchiki and Soifon, those noble family members could easily enter the Second Division and Sixth Division!
