Eighth Division's team building
Eighth Division As an intelligence team, it belongs to the front-line combat troops and is also a vanguard
The establishment of Eighth Division is much more complicated than that of a regular combat squad. They are not only responsible for vanguard intelligence operations but also statistical intelligence and other paperwork.
The sounds of footsteps, voices, and the sound of turning documents mixed together, like the inside of a clock that never stops.
Shunsui Kyōraku has been here for half a month. What he does every day is very simple.
Follow the assigned guidance team members to familiarize themselves with team affairs.
What are the channels for collecting intelligence, how to summarize the information from each channel, how to analyze the summarized information, and how to report the analyzed intelligence.
The process is not complicated, but it is trivial and full of details. If one link goes wrong, the entire chain will be broken.
But half a month is enough for him to remember all the procedures
He doesn't have a photographic memory," but he has a pretty good memory
Fifth Seat's challenge was initiated by Kyōraku
The rules of the squad are to challenge the current Seated Officer. If you win, you will be promoted. If you lose, you will wait until next time.
Fifth Seat is a middle-aged appearance Soul Reaper. He has worked in Eighth Division for more than thirty years. He has been promoted step by step from ordinary team members to Fifth Seat. He has deep qualifications, sufficient experience, and Zanjutsu is solid.
He didn't take Kyōraku's challenge seriously. A newcomer who had just graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy half a month ago and had not even done a few formal missions dared to challenge him? He agreed readily and even wanted to laugh a little. He didn't think Kyōraku could defeat him, even if he was a disciple of Commander-in-Chief.
There were more people watching in the gym than Kyōraku expected. Squad Member of Eighth Division heard about the new challenge Fifth Seat. They came from all floors and surrounded the gym on three floors inside and three outside. Some were curious, some watched the fun, some People want to see how much Commander-in-Chief's disciples are, but Bakuzan Katori didn't come, and Lieutenant didn't come either. Challenges between Seated Officer are not uncommon in Eighth Division, and there is no need for the captain to be present.
The battle lasted less than three minutes
His Zanjutsu was not taught by the Spiritual Arts Academy, it was taught by the Kyoraku Clan's private school. It was corrected step by step by Captain-Commander Yamamoto after he accepted his disciples. It was practiced by himself when he got up an hour earlier than others every morning for the Spiritual Arts Academy for several years.
Fifth Seat's Zanjutsu is solid, but the verdict is not as fast as Kyōraku.
As soon as Fifth Seat's knife was raised, Kyōraku already knew where he was going to chop; as soon as Fifth Seat's knife was struck down, Kyōraku was no longer there. It's not the difference between Reiatsu, but the ability to read the game.
Kyōraku has been sparring with Ukitake in the gym for several years. Ukitake's knife path is much more tricky than Fifth Seat. Compared with Ukitake, Fifth Seat's knife is too easy to guess.
The back of Kyōraku's knife fell on Fifth Seat's shoulder. The force was not heavy, but the position was precise. Fifth Seat's knife stopped in the air and did not cut down. The gym was quiet for a moment, and then someone started to applaud.
It was not the kind of thunderous applause, but sporadic, tentative sounds, like confirmation of "can I applaud?" Kyōraku sheathed his sword and bowed to Fifth Seat. Fifth Seat was stunned for a long time, and then bowed too.
In the corridor of Eighth Division, news spread faster than Hell Butterfly. Kyōraku walked back to his seat from the gym. The Squad Member he met along the way were all looking at him. Some nodded, some talked in low voices, and some just got out of the way without saying anything. He sat back in his seat. On the table in front of him was the file that he had not read in the morning. He picked it up and continued to read.
"As expected of Commander-in-Chief's disciple"
The sound came from the next table. It was not loud, but Kyōraku heard it. He turned a page of the file without looking up.
Someone else said, "As expected of Captain Shuichi."
This time the voice was louder, with a clear "no wonder he is so strong". Kyōraku stopped flipping through the file with his fingers. Shuichi is the captain's junior brother. He is not used to this title. When Spiritual Arts Academy was, he was "Shunsui Kyōraku", a son of a noble, a holder of double swords, and a disciple of Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
But the identity of "Shuichi Captain's Junior Brother" was only started to be called after graduation, not because his relationship with Shuichi changed, but because he entered Gotei 13, and Shuichi is his senior and a member of the same system.
The word "junior brother" in Gotei 13 is more real than "disciple".
Kyōraku turned the file to the next page. Fifth Seat's challenge is over, he is Eighth Division's new Fifth Seat
In the corridor of Eighth Division, the chatter gradually became quieter. Everything will be business as usual starting tomorrow.
Squad Member We should organize the intelligence, analyze the data, and conduct field work. The operation of Eighth Division will not change just because of the change of one seat.
But some people began to re-evaluate this new young man, not because he defeated Fifth Seat, but because of his performance after defeating Fifth Seat. There was no excitement, no pride, and no looking for people to show off. He returned to his seat and continued to read the file, as if nothing had happened. This kind of calmness was not like a newcomer who had just graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy for half a month.
Bakuzan Katori was standing in front of the window of the captain's office, holding an intelligence summary in her hand and looking out the window. Her office was on the third floor and she couldn't see the gym, but she didn't need to look.
Lieutenant has reported the results, Zanjutsu defeated Fifth Seat in three minutes
Bakuzan Katori Written two words in the blank space of the file report, which is good
Shunsui Kyōraku doesn't need to be praised, he needs to know if he still has room for improvement.
Kyōraku sat in his seat, closed the last file of the day and placed it on the corner of the table. The sky outside the window was completely dark, the lights in the corridor were on, some people were still working overtime, and some people had left. He stood up, Pushing the chair back under the table, he picked up Zanpakutō and hung it on his waist, and walked out of the team building. Seireitei was very quiet at night. There were no people on the street. He was walking back to the dormitory, walking neither fast nor slow.
