Chapter 046: The Assessment In Progress

*Bang!*

Commander Yamamoto hit the ground with the cane in his hand, making a dull sound. Hearing this sound, even the most frivolous Shunsui couldn't help but become serious.

Kyoraku Shunsui, Jushiro Ukitake, and Kuchiki Ginrei sat in a row on their knees.

Mazuru stood in front of them.

Captain Yamamoto stood aside, looked at Mazuru and said, "Kyo Mazuru, vice-captain of the Thirteenth Division, before you come here, you should know what you are here for."

Mazuru said, "I know, it's to participate in the captain's assessment!"

Captain Yamamoto said, "You must be aware of the promotion rules for the captain of the Gotei 13 Division, but because today is a formal occasion, I will repeat it."

"Conditions for becoming a captain are:

1. Pass the captain's assessment under the witness of 3 or more captains including the head-captain;

2. Be recommended by 6 or more captains and get the approval of 3 or more captains out of the other 7 captains;

3. Defeat the current captain under the witness of 200 team members and another captain."

"The third rule is the captain's promotion rule unique to the Eleventh Division and it does not apply to other teams. As for the second rule, you are also aware of the current situation of the Gotei 13. If you want to achieve this condition, it is basically impossible."

"So your assessment is conducted using the first rule."

"Counting me today, the captain of the Sixth division, Kuchiki Ginrei, the captain of the Eighth division, Kyoraku Shunsui, and the captain of the Thirteenth division, Jushiro Ukitake, a total of four captains have gathered, the first condition has been met."

After explaining the relevant rules, Captain Yamamoto looked at Mazuru again and said, "Vice-captain Mazuru, do you have anything else to say?"

Mazuru shook his head.

Captain Yamamoto said again, "If that's the case, then who of you will conduct the captain's assessment?"

Captain Yamamoto looked at Kyoraku Shunsui, Kuchiki Ginrei, and Jushiro Ukitake.

Jushiro was the first to speak, "Mazuru is my vice-captain, if I come, it seems to be suspected of seeking personal gain, and my body, sensei, you also know..."

Jushiro gives his reasons.

Ginrei also said, "Vice-captain Mazuru is the teacher of my grandson Byakuya, and it seems inconvenient for me to conduct the assessment."

He still has some things to say, that is, the incident of Kuchiki Koga back then. If Mazuru hadn't stopped him, Koga would have committed many disasters and fled to who knows where. If he was asked to assess Mazuru, he was worried that he couldn't help but let the water go.

Shunsui stood up helplessly, he fixed his bamboo hat and said, "In this way, only I can do it."

In fact, Shunsui doesn't like to do this kind of thing, but there is no other way. Both Jushiro and Captain Kuchiki gave corresponding reasons. If he continues to fish, I am afraid that Mazuru will face Old Man Yama. As the head-captain's disciple, Shunsui understands how hot the old man is.

And since the old man had taken the initiative to mention Mazuru's participation in the captain's assessment earlier, it meant that the old man was looking forward to Mazuru very much. He expected so much from Mazuru, who knows what kind of ruthless hands he would use to verify Mazuru's strength during the assessment.

Shunsui stepped forward and waved to Mazuru, "So, lets get along well and have a good spar, Brother Mazuru."

"What are you talking about? I would like to ask Captain Shunsui to show mercy."

Mazuru exchanged pleasantries with Shunsui.

Captain Yamamoto couldn't stand it any longer, and let out a muffled snort.

Shunsui then slowly headed towards the practice field of the First Division's team building.

Mazuru followed closely behind Shunsui.

The rest of the captains also got up and went over there.

This was just explaining to Mazuru the rules for being promoted to the captain. The real assessment is to test Mazuru's strength to confirm whether he has the strength of captain level and whether he is qualified for the captain's position.

Collisions at the captain level are quite destructive, and it is obviously impossible to carry out them inside the building.

Because of the captain's assessment, this training ground was vacated early.

After Shunsui came here, he changed his frivolous style and said to Mazuru, "Let's get started."

Mazuru was not polite either.

Zanpakuto was pulled out by it.

With a flash of figure, a sword light flashed past.

"So fast!"

Shunsui was startled, but he was also a captain after all, so he still avoided Mazuru's sword. Immediately afterwards, Mazuru slashed at him several times.

While dodging, Shunsui slandered Mazuru: "Brother Mazuru, this is a bit unreasonable. I am also your senior, don't you know how to let me get ready? For example, remind me before making a move. "

"This can't be done."

Mazuru paused, looked at Shunsui, shook his head and said, "It is precisely because you are a senior, that I need to go all out."

"Sink! Chi no Kawa!"

Because it is the captain's assessment, one of the conditions for being promoted to the captain is the need to master Bankai.

The reason is that Shinigami who has mastered Bankai can basically have the strength of the captain level with the help of Bankai.

Therefore, Mazuru did not continue to fight Shunsui with skills such as slashing and White Hits, but decisively used Zanpakuto's ability.

The crimson light flickered, and the sealed state in Mazuru's hand was covered with a layer of crimson colour.

At the same time, Mazuru's reiatsu also skyrocketed instantly, reaching the captain level.

"Shikai?" The eyes of Jushiro and Shunsui opposite Mazuru flickered at the same time.

Of course they know that Mazuru is not bad, but whether it is Jushiro, who is Mazuru's captain or Shunsui, they rarely see Mazuru fight, so they only know a little bit about Mazuru's Zanpakuto.

One is because the other party is his team member, and the other is because of Nanao, who paid attention to Mazuru a lot, knowing Mazuru's Zanpakuto ability that was revealed during the graduation exam that year.

"No, it should be half Shikai."

Captain Yamamoto and Kuchiki Ginrei saw the truth.

The two of them had witnessed the battle between Mazuru and Kuchiki Koga back then, the Zanpakuto displayed by Mazuru at that time was by no means what it is now, and they were sure that Mazuru did not cast Bankai at that time.

The half Shikai technique, the head-captain and Kuchiki Ginrei naturally knew it, deliberately calling the wrong or omitting Zanpakuto's name to liberate half of Zanpakuto, but this technique was not very useful to them so they don't use it.

Unexpectedly, Mazuru became addicted to using it.

Captain Yamamoto sensed the reiatsu on Mazuru's body, and commented on Mazuru from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not bad, just a half Shikai has a captain-level reiatsu, after liberating complete Shikai, reiatsu will continue to grow, not to mention Bankai."

This is also worthy of his expectations.
