Recovering what's lost

Chapter 3

"Sousuke Aizen… I wonder what he is like" Airia muttered to herself.

As she wandered the numerous halls of the academy, twisting and turning and finally reaching a normal classroom, filled with desks which were occupied by students. A middle aged man walked into the classroom announcing his presence.

"Welcome to the first day of spirit academy, today you'll have a test where you will receive your placing for the rest of this year." the teacher explained to all the students there. The whole class groaned at this, but the teacher had an un-natural cheerful smile at his students' misery.

"Now whoever is standing up, please find a seat and I will start with the test." This was clearly aimed at Airia who was the only one still standing up.

She blushed in embarrassment and hurried to find an empty desk. The only desk that was available was right at the front, in front of a girl with short blue hair which was cropped around her neck. Her silver grey eyes were sending a glare in her way. Airia shuddered and sat down. The teacher walked around, handing the papers to the students face down, along with a pencil.

The test wasn't particularly hard Airia thought. The first two pages were mainly testing on whether you could read and write properly, as well as basic maths and logic solutions. Then it was the problem solving, where the person was only given a limited amount of materials and a goal to reach. And then the last two pages were about shinigami related affairs.

Hmm, this is quite easy; the shinigami's job is to lead souls to soul society and to purify hollows whilst maintaining the balance between worlds...

She was pretty lucky that she retained the knowledge that she read just the previous day.

Flashback

Airia was sitting near a table with heaps of books strewn around her. The walls of the library were filled with books, the numerous shelves accounted for most of the room, if you could call it that. By rough estimate of Airia there were more than one hundred thousand books, each filled with unique and lost knowledge. Yamamato slowly walked into the room, Airia looked up at the sound of heels tapping on the carpet. She glanced at him, wondering why he was here. Then as they stared down at each other, he slowly opened his mouth and began to talk.

"Before you go to the academy you are allowed to have one day to study for the placement tests." The old man Yamamato explained.

"Wait, there are placement tests? How come? What do they do?" Airia fired of questions one after another.

"They will determine which class you will be placed in, since Aizen Sousuke comes back from his mission tomorrow, you will be able to meet him then after academy has finished," He paused to stroke his long beard before going on "Also you will be staying in those dorms, not to mention the better you are placed, the better living conditions there are."

"Isn't that really unfair to the other students who don't get good marks then?" She mumbled out. That would be so unfair if it was like that.

"Well it's more like an encouragement, and it's only the top ten placing students get BETTER ones, the others aren't that bad." He carefully explained it fully to her, not wanting her to misunderstand.

End Flashback

The test in total was five pages long, with the students being allotted two hours to finish it. Airia managed to finish just in the time range, after checking over her answers. She looked around to see how many others were finished, she spied a boy in the corner of her eye just lazily dosing off as like he didn't have a care in the world. She saw a few students frantically scribble answers down and glancing up to look at the time. What caught her attention the most was the girl right behind her, put down her pencil calmly, looked up straight at her and glared at her.

Airia was surprised by this, to her knowledge she didn't have any enemies, so why did this girl hate her, she was distracted from her thoughts when the teacher said "Time's up, pencils down everyone."

The teacher walked past everyone, collecting their tests. "The results will be posted tomorrow morning, so come bright and early to see which class you get into," He said in a bored tone of voice.

She walked out of her seat, getting ready to head out until she overheard a voice saying, "That test didn't seem so hard for the people who ACTUALLY WORKED HARD TO COME." By that tone of voice, Airia immediately assumed that it was the girl that had it in for her. She decided to ignore the spiteful voice and instead walked out of the room.

Airia wandered through the path like streets looking for the fifth division barracks where she would meet the vice-captain of the fifth division. She was lost in her thoughts, my memories; I wonder what happened to me that would make me lose my memories. Do I have I family and most importantly, are they looking for me? Do they care about me? She was so lost in thought that she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Omph, I'm so sorry, I was lost in thought and I didn't see where I was going," Airia apologised with a deep bow.

She looked up and saw a figure.
