(Grimmjow POV)
I clash blades with the orc once more before coming to a stop and glancing at the orc's blade. "Haah." I sigh in regret. "Guess it's gonna be over sooner than I thought."
His blade had cracked.
Zanpakutos are just better.
I graze my thumb against my sword's handle while gazing at it.
"Watch out!" I hear Team Leader Park Heejin exclaim, causing me to switch my sight to the front of me, only to be greeted by a blade in front of me.
"Tsk." Clicking my tongue, I raise my free hand and catch the blade.
*Boom!*

(3rd POV)
"Watch out!" Park Heejin cries out, spotting the orc appearing in front of Grimmjow.
*Boom!*
Dust blows up, covering the sights of the Hunter team.
"Shit!" One of the Tanks curse and goes into a defensive stance. "What a shitty way to die!"
"Wishing me dead won't do you any good." The team hears Grimmjow's voice behind them.
"Ahhhh!" One of the newbies yell in a high pitched voice, only for all eyes to be locked onto him. "K-hum. I mean Haah!" After clearing his throat, he speaks in a deep voice.
"Hunter Grimmjow." Park Heejin addresses, relief and surprise lacing her voice while she glances at his body, no injury to be seen. "I'm glad you're still alive. What happened to the Boss?" She questions.
"Dead." Grimmjow states simply before turning around and heading towards the Gate that appeared once more.

Meanwhile, outside of the Gate, Guild Master Baek stood with a frown. "How long has it been?" His deep voice sounds out as he questions the man next to him.
"An hour, sir." The man responds respectfully.
"Haah. Even with Hunter Grimmjow joining them, there is little chance for them to survive. It's a peak A-Rank gate and Grimmjow has no experience." He says regretfully. "Gather the-" He started commanding but his words got stuck in his throat as Grimmjow stepped out of the Gate.
Grimmjow scans the surroundings with his eyes before spotting Baek Yoonho. Nodding at the Guild Master, Grimmjow points behind him before walking off.
Just as Baek was about to chase after him, the rest of the team exits the Gate. Great relief washes over him as he spots all the members still alive.
"What happened?" Baek Yoonho question Park Heejin after the team reached him.
Not speaking a word, Park Heejin reaches to her shoulder armor and removes something hidden on it and hands it to the Guild Master.
"You did well." Baek states while looking at the device in his hands. He had been requested by the Hunter's Association President to record Grimmjow inside the Gate. Even though he felt bad for spying on Grimmjow, he understands that Grimmjow is an unknown variable, and unless he has proven to not be dangerous to Korea, they had to do this.

"Impressive." Go Gunhee mutters while pausing the video on the frame of Grimmjow with a raised hand, about to catch the green skinned orc's blade. "What are your thoughts on this Chief Inspector Woo?" He asks and looks at Woo Jin-Chul who stood at his side.
"He's stronger than we thought." Woo Jin-Chul states. "But it's good for us." He says and rewinds the video to Grimmjow with his back turned to the team. "He has shown us that he protects his comrades."
Go Gunhee nods and closes his eyes. "Yes. I think it's time." He says and Woo Jin-Chul's eyes widen.
"You mean..?" Woo Jin-Chul asks.
"Yes." Go Gunhee responds. "Arrange a meeting with Hunter Grimmjow."
Woo Jin-Chul hesitates for a second before sighing and walking out of the office. "Let's hope Grimmjow is the right choice." Go Gunhee's voice sounds out before Woo Jin-Chul closes the door.

"Why are you not on your mission?" Grimmjow asks the ghost floating in front of him inside his hotel room.
"Aww." Su-Ho pouts. "I just wanted to see you! Didn't you want to see me?" She questions while going closer to Grimmjow, only for her question to be ignored.
"I've been meaning to ask, but I didn't since it didn't disadvantage me." Grimmjow says while taking a seat on the bed. "Why didn't the other ghosts question my orders? I wanted them to retaliate with my harsh words, but they just complied." He asks.
"Oh. I don't know if you know this, but deep down inside of us, we feel like we have to listen to you..." Su-Ho answers while placing a hand on her chest. "Is... This what love is?" Her cheeks turning redder with each word.
"Continue your mission." Grimmjow grunts before laying down on the bed while thinking of Su-Ho's words. Not the love one of course.
"Is it because of me being an Arrancar?" He mutters, ignoring Su-Ho who's complaining while exiting the room.
Gazing out of the window next to the bed, Grimmjow stops his thoughts and closes his eyes. "I'll think of it tomorrow... Today was too long for my tastes." He mutters before falling asleep.

Inside the office of Japan's Hunter Association President, two people could be seen. One being the president himself. a Middle-aged man with thick black hair and a black mustache and goatee. He was smoking a brown cigar and wearing a white-collared shirt and a black tie under a sleeveless light brown vest.
"I want you to take a vacation at Korea." Matsumoto Shigeo, the president, says to the other man in the room while smoking his Cigar. "Goto."
Goto was a handsome middle-aged man with shaggy black hair and a neatly trimmed black beard.
"Why?" Goto Ryuji calmly asks, although he already knew the reason.
In response to Goto's question, Matsumoto Shigeo throws a file on the desk between them and gestures for Goto to read it.
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez..." Goto mutters while reading the file. "I will go in a month at latest." He says and closes the file while smiling gently. "I've been wanting to meet the person who betrayed Japan." His smile turns bloodthirsty.

[Boys. What I'm trying to do with Goto here is... He's gonne be prideful. Too much. And him thinking he's the best, leads him to believe Japan is the best because he's there. So he thinks Grimmjow betrayed Japan cause Grimmjow announced his Nationality as Japanese. Meh it's whatever. Goto will be a scheming bastard along with the japan pres, but that was already shown in the original Solo Levelling. That's all I have to say... Cheers broskies!]
