Chapter 6: First mission
"Ouch!" Skye shouted. Ginrei rushed into the room. "Is something wrong Skye?" he asked. "Nothing at all grandfather. I'm going to go to the Soul Reaper university now," Skye replied.
"There you are Skye!" Kazuya exclaimed. "I... You... What did you do to me?" asked Skye. "Pardon? Why would I do something to you?" asked Kohei. "It's nothing," Skye replied.
"It looks like her level of friendship is high, my lord. She could stand up to Time Arc too. She can remember only a little though, not the whole thing," Kazuya said. "Continue keeping watch on her. She's an interesting one," said the king. "Yes my Lord," replied Kazuya.
"But my lord, about my coming up journey to the ninja world. I would like to bring 1A* with me," said Kazuya. "Kazuya! You know that's..." said the king. "Then what would happen to those kids? Leave them in the hands of another professor? Let the chosen one be taught by others and destroy the masterpiece? My lord, please accept my request!" Kazuya interupted. "...Very well. But you must make sure they can realease their Zanpakutos," said the king. "As you wish my lord," replied Kazuya.
"Alright! I'm going to make you all learn to release you Shikai by this week! From today onwards, everyone will gather at the dojo. Skye, you won't need to come to the university for this week till further notice," said Kazuya. "But sir, I would like to see them release their Zanpakuto and I've been hearing weird things. I'll like to ask you about them later," said Skye. "Very well. You may come if you want," said Kazuya. "Thank you Professor Kohei!" Skye exclaimed.
"Expected nothing less from the chosen one. Has amazing abilities. Mastering bankai in 2 days huh? I heard the bankai mastering record is 3 days. She's only 9 too. She might even master hollowfication. She might even unlock the hide technique of Syujimaru, Zanpakuto law," Kazuya mumbled to himself. "Professor Kohei?" asked White. "Nothing. I was mumbling to myself," replied Kazuya.
"Now, all of you place your Zanpakutos in front of you. Focus your spiritual pressure to your Zanpakuto," said Kazuya. "Skye, what did you hear?" asked Kazuya whispered. "Syujimaru said to open my mind and let her enter it. She asked me to be brave and not keep my feelings to myself. I'm thinking it's a dream. I was sleepy at that time," replied Skye whispered.
"You mean your Zanpakuto said that to you when I was doing Time Arc? She could really strand up to it," Kazuya mumbled to himself. "Sorry Professor Kohei?" asked Skye. "It's bankai Skye. Converse with your Zanpakuto. You should be able to achieve bankai if you do as it says," replied Kazuya whispered. "Yes Professor Kohei," said Skye whispered.
A week later. "Katsumi Keisuke!" shouted Hiroshi. "Noriko Naomi!" shouted White. "Great! You two can come with me now! Still no good eh Kashino? Keep trying. You'll get it. Today's your last day though. If still no good, you can't come with us," said Kazuya.
The next day. "Well, I guess this is it Kashino. You can't release your Zanpakuto, I can't bring you with me. You'll be taught by other professors while I'm gone. Kashino could feel his head exploding. He did not want to be left out. "Hear my name. Shout it out. I am..." It was now or never. Kashino shouted, "Fujimaru!" There was a bright flash.
"Another interesting one on the team. This might bring some great rivalry to the chosen one. Interesting generation," Kazuya mumbled to himself. "Welcome aboard, Kashino," said Skye.
"Let me see your Zanpakuto again Kashino," said Kazuya on an airplane. "Chill Fujimaru!" Kashino shouted. "Another one of the leader Zanpakutos huh? Syujimaru's younger brother, Fujimaru. 2nd to leader," said Kazuya.
"Hey Captain Kohei! Are you showing favoritism? You haven't even talked to us since you came onto the plane," said a Shinigami. "Of course I am Manabu," replied Kazuya. "I-I didn't know Professor Kohei was a favoritism freak," said Hiroshi. "I thought he did things in my style too. Good thing I won't become like him." White and Skye laughed.
"Kashino?" asked Skye. "When we get back, I want to fight you," said Kashino. "I'm going to show everyone Fujimaru is better than Syujimaru!" Skye replied with a smile,"As you wish, Kashino."
"Alright everyone. It's time for everyone to know other. I'll introduce the students first. First, Skye," said Kazuya. "I'm Skye Kuchiki. Please take care of me," said Skye with a smile. "Next, White." White said,"I'm White Sayuri. A pleasure to meet you." "This is Hiroshi." Hiroshi said,"My name is Hiroshi Daisuke. A pleasure to meet you." "Last but not least, Kashino." Kashino said,"I'm Kashino Makoto."
"I'll introduce all the Shinigami next. First, my vice-captain Manabu," said Kazuya. Manabu said,"I'm Manabu Shiba. Vice-captain Shiba. One of Captain Kohei's trusted..." Kazuya interupted him,"Keep your introduction short Manabu! Next, Masahiro." Masahiro said,"I'm Masahiro Masao. 6th squard 3rd seat." Kashino asked,"6th squad?" "My squad Kashino." Kazuya replied.
"Alright. That's it. I don't want any fight between all of us. The students you will listen to my men's orders. We'll go in pairings once we reach. Kashino, you're with me. White, you're with Manabu. Hiroshi, you're with Masahiro," said Kazuya. "How about me Professor Kohei?" asked Skye. "You'll be backup," replied Kazuya. Skye felt like stabbing Kazuya with her Zanpakuto. She was one of the best but leaving her as backup? Kashino shot Skye a sly grin. "You'll stay on the plane and guard it," said Kazuya.
