My Zanpakto slammed against the tree, leaving a dent in its hard bark. With a grunt of frustration I pulled it out and looked the tree over, it was covered with dents, clearly all caused by my sword. I let myself sit on the soft grass of the field I had been training on for the last few hours. My chestnut coloured bangs stuck to my sweaty face and the rest was tied up in its usual high ponytail, secured by a silky white ribbon.
'Why can't I be stronger, like the other shinigami in my class. I bet they could be able to slice the whole tree in half instead of leaving a stupid dent '.
I thought to myself as I looked up to the sky. Ever since I had arrived to the
academy I had always been the weakest one, even though I would train for hours afterwards. Most of the students had already achieved their shikai. Even though I hadn't yet. What surprised me the most was that I had been able to get this far. We were graduating from the academy into our squads this year and I didn't feel anywhere near ready. Most of my fellow students made fun of me because of how they could easily beat me in all the categories, except for one in which I was pretty good in which was kidou.
A small flutter of wings near my head snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up and saw a hell butterfly slowly flying around my head.
"All Academy students in the 3rd year (A/N: I have no idea how many years they spend there :P) please report to the main grounds for the seating ceremony immediately" With its message delivered, it flew off towards the clear blue sky, presumably off to find other students in my year. My Lavender eyes widen in shock as I watched it fade away into the sky. My heart beat increased as I looked around in desperation.
'Now!?! Are they kidding me, I thought it was in a week. Shit, shit, what will I do? I can't fight yet, I can't even slice a damn tree in half. Urgh! I am so going to mess this up.'
The ceremony which was fairly simple to some people consists of fighting a member of any squad to determine which position to put you in. I can't even beat anyone in my class, do you see the dilemma here! I needed to get into a squad, I had promised. I had grown up in the Rukongai, 75th district. The rukongai is a place where all souls go to after a soul burial, basically it was heaven. It was made up of 80 districts, 1st getting the best service, food and water, for the others districts like mine we had to fight to survive. My two friends and I live in a shabby wooden house which honestly looked like it was about to fall apart any time. It was situated near the river, even though the water was more of a murky brown, fish still occupied it making us capable of sometimes getting food. I my not have seemed the best place to live but it was home. My two friends were Aki and Hiro, we had met one day when I had helped them steal pots of water form an old seller. They had already been living together for a few years and had accepted me into their home. Even though we were only seven years old and barley knew how to survive, we somehow managed. We stayed together for four years, until they both died because of hunger and thirst. Many people had died of it because we had run out of it. I lived alone for about two years, visiting their grave each month. It was then, after a year that I decided that I was going to become a shinigami. I had promised on their grave that I would be able to. Yet it was much harder than I ever imagined.
"Ririi!"
A joyful voice from behind me snapped me out of my daydreams. I recognized the voice though, it was one of my best friends Yasuo. As he ran up to me with a huge smile plastered one his face, he tripped one of the tree's roots and fell flat on his face. I smiled as I saw him, he always made me smile. He was so adorable with his shiny dark brown hair that framed his face and wide playful blue eyes which always seemed to have a sparkle. He always had a faint pinkish tint in his cheeks always from shyness or embarrassment. He a clumsy guy who either got lost and panicked or lived life to its fullest extent. I looked up and noticed that Kasuke was also there leaning against the tree, smirking as he looked inspected it.
"So Ri, this is al you can do?" he said tracing a finger over one of the dents, "you do know that the ceremony is today, right?"
Kasuke. I never really understood him, he was my other best friend. He had soft, shaggy blond hair and piercing green eyes which always seemed to know what I was thinking. I had always been a little shy with him since I had a crush on him, but I never actually told him because I knew I didn't have a chance. Stronger, prettier girls were always after him and he always had a different girl with him. It had bothered me at first, but its not like I could have done anything
"Yeah, I heard," I said with a sigh, "and honestly," I looked at tree, "I don't think I ready, they'll probably keep me for another year or something."
"Aw come on Ririi, I'm sure you'll do great! You'll probably even get a seat, oh won't that be cool! I hope we end up in the same squad, and then we could do so much stuff like…" Yasuo voice started trailing off as he started counting and rambling on all the stuff that could happen.
"Yeah, Ri, I'm sure you'll do fine," Kasuke told me as slung an arm over my shoulder, "cheer up a bit."
"Yeah whatever lets go," I told them as we made our way to the main area.
