"Stay close and don't get lost." Yamabuki Chidori noticed Aikawa Ramu constantly looking around and couldn't help reminding him.
"So this is where Soul Reapers live? It's completely different from what I imagined! I thought it would be much gloomier and scarier. It feels pretty much like where ordinary people live." Aikawa Ramu spoke cautiously.
"What are you thinking? Soul Reapers are chosen from ordinary people to begin with, so naturally their living habits aren't much different from ordinary people's. They're just a little stronger." Yamabuki Chidori looked Aikawa Ramu over.
The Visored Army did not have much presence in the original story, so Yamabuki Chidori did not know these people's personalities particularly well. He decided to observe him first.
"Zendouji Yuuhin should have told you, right? If you want to become an outstanding Soul Reaper, you'll have to go through a whole series of steps. The most important one is attending school." Yamabuki Chidori suddenly stopped. Shino Academy stood before them.
"Huh???" Aikawa Ramu stared at the school with a strange expression.
I came here to become a Soul Reaper, not a student.
"I can't even read. Isn't it a bit much to suddenly make me go to school?" Aikawa Ramu asked.
"That's exactly why you need to attend school. If you really become a Captain someday but can't recognize a single word, that'll reflect badly on me." Yamabuki Chidori gently pushed him in the back, and the two entered Shino Academy.
"You'll not only learn how to read and write here, but also learn how Soul Reapers fight. On top of that, there's medical knowledge. You'll have six years to learn all of this. If your grades are satisfactory after six years, one of the Gotei 13 divisions will recruit you, and you'll become an official Soul Reaper.
