A/N: Just Read and Review

Squad Selection

--------------------------

The last month went by…slowly. Relyt was given a private class at the shinigami academy, where he was taught the basics from sword stances and styles to kido. He thought that kido was way too complicated to actually use in battle, and what would stop the enemy from attacking when he says the mantra? Another Kido? Right.

His mentor tried to convince him to use kido even if it was rarely but Relyt just thought it was too troublesome, all he really wanted to know is how to avoid and dispel them.

Relyt was brought out to a small sparring area. When he got there he found Yamamoto and some other captains waiting. Only a few of the captains were then since it wasn't a mandatory kinda thing. The other captains that were there was the 5th division captain, the 8th division captain because he also had two zanpakto and because he had nothing better to do, and the 11th division captain because of what happened a month ago.

Relyt walked to the middle of the sparring ring before Yamamoto decided to talk.

"Ah, Relyt. We have been waiting for you"

"Sorry, I got kinda lost on the way here" he said smiling nervously.

"Yes well, here we will see which squad you will belong to. You will spar against a present captain of your choice and then your performance in the spar will be put with your performance at the academy and then we will decide which squad to put you in" the elder soul reaper explained.

"So you want me to choose and fight against a captain, who is probably a hundred time stronger then me, to see what division I'll go to?" Relyt asked and Yamamoto laughed.

"Yes that's pretty much it"

Relyt sighed and looked at his choices. The first was Yamamoto, and there was no way in hell that he was going to challenge the 1st squad leader. The second was the 5th devision captain, he had short brown hair and glasses, he looked uninteresting. The third was the captain of the 8th division, Relyt noticed that he also had two zanpakto, could be interesting. And the last was Kenpachi, the squad 11 captain.

"Okay, I choose to fight him!" Relyt said pointing strait at Zaraki.

The other captain looked somewhat shocked and Zaraki started laughing.

"I was hoping that you would choose me. I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to actually fight you until I was called for this" Zaraki said grinning as he walked out to the sparring ring on the opposite side of Relyt.

"How about this? I'm going to offer you a chance that I give to most of the people I fight for the first time. I'm going to let you have the first hit, hit me anywhere, you can even lop of my head" Zaraki offered.

Relyt's eyes widened and then started thinking, 'What?! Why would he give me a chance to kill him?'

Relyt thought for a few minutes while in a defensive stance and Zaraki was getting impatient.

"Come on, attack already. What? Are you scared? Attack me!" Zaraki taunted.

"No" Relyt simply said and slightly dropped his stance.

"What?!"

"You're a captain! So if you're giving me a chance to actually kill you then that could only mean that I can't kill you!" Relyt said pointing his right Zanpakto at Kenpachi. All of the captains' eyes widened slightly and Zaraki started to laugh again.

"Impressive, so you've already figured it out, and without attacking. Very good, but it wont help you much!" Kenpachi yelled and charged Relyt grinning. The speed of the attack took Relyt by surprise and it took almost everything he had to just block that attack since he wasn't fast enough to dodge. "Y'know, I think I'm already starting to regret choosing you"

Relyt managed to dodge another blow and thrust both his sword at Zaraki's chest only to have them bounce away, "Damn, I knew it"

Relyt kept doing his best to dodge and block all of Zaraki's attacks while hitting but failing to hurt Zaraki. Relyt tried to hit Kenpachi at the same spot repeatedly but still nothing.

--------------

"I'm surprised the kid could last this long against Kenpachi" the 8th division Captain commented while watching the fight along with the other two captains.

"Yes, it is quite impressive" said Captain Aizen, "And he was able to figure out Captain Zaraki's defense without even attacking"

"In his month at the academy he was told situations and then asked him the best possible act. Every time he would look at each situation from every possible angle even if it ignores the concept of good and evil" Yamamoto explained.

------------------------------

'Damn, this isn't working. I can't hurt him…but maybe…'
Relyt smirked when he got an idea as he dodged more of the Captains attacks.

Relyt tried to sidestep to avoid another of Zaraki's attacks but the sword turned and Relyt yelled in pain as the jagged edged blade of Zaraki's zanpakto cut into Relyt's right arm.

"Is this all you have? I've been waiting to fight you for a whole month and his is all you got? Pathetic" Zaraki taunted and sheathed his zanpakto, "You're not even worth my time"

Relyt let out a small roar as he charged Zaraki ignoring his bloodied arm. Relyt slashed his right sword but Zaraki only caught the blade with his bare hand, Relyt attacked with his left zanpakto but he caught that blade as well.

Relyt jumped up using his zanpakto that Zaraki was currently holding and lifted up his legs and kicked Zaraki in the face with both feet, while never letting go of his zanpakto.

Zaraki fell back from the force of the kick and Relyt was still in midair above him. Relyt turned around in midair and thrust both is zanpakto into the ground in an X formation directly above the captain's neck.

"So how's that?" Relyt said panting and grinning. Relyt let go of the zanpakto and stumbled back holding his bleeding arm. "Hey, there goes my arm again" he said as he fell to his knees, "This better mean that I…win" he finished as he completely fell forward into unconsciousness.

-----------------------------

A Few Hours Later

A few hours after the spar with the squad 11 captain Relyt began to regain consciousness. He found himself still laying on the ground and with his dried blood covered arm and most of his body still sore. He slowly turned around and faced the captains when Yamamoto said, "Ah, you are awake. While you were unconscious we have gone over your performance and have decided which squad you will go too"

Relyt looked at the old man patiently waiting for the result and then he continued, "You have shown great strength and reflex along with an interesting perspective in battle"

"I along the other present captains have talked it over and decided that you, Relyt Notsuoh, are now the newest member of the eleventh division!"

Relyt looked at the old shinigami in shock.

"So now…I have to…fight along and with…him?" Relyt asked disbelievingly and pointing towards Zaraki.

Zaraki laughed, "Well yes, I like to spar with spar with my men, especially the new recruits"

"Fuck"

-----------------------------
A/N: Just four pages :(, whatever it's necessary.

If anyone asks how could Relyt beat Zaraki I'll tell you, 1: he went WAY easy on Relyt, and 2: he had his Zanpakto sheathed when Relyt beat him. Also Relyt didn't even injure Zaraki, he just had his swords at his throat.

And I did notice that the squad 8 captain does have two swords.

And I figured out a cool think to do with his released zanpakto form and the eventually bankai, along with zanpakto spirit.

Happy 4th of July
