Report To Me

Everyone was already mentally prepared regarding this conclusion, so they all appeared very calm on the surface.

As for the so-called discussion mentioned by Yamamoto Genryusai, it was entirely just for show.

As an organization responsible for guarding the safety of Seireitei, Gotei 13's process in selecting Captains was often strict.

Those who took on the role of Captain were carefully selected and subjected to multiple assessments.

However, what they guarded was not only the Seireitei, but also the Nobles and the Noble Council behind it.

Even the importance of the Central 46 Chamber was ranked below the Noble Council.

This led to the fact that becoming a Captain not only required strength, but also examinations in terms of skills, personality, and many more.

However, there were some exceptions to this rule.

For example, the 6th Division was always led by the current head of the Kuchiki Clan.

The 11th Division was always led by a Kenpachi, and its selection process was particularly brutal.

They engaged in a life-and-death battle, and the winner became the new Kenpachi, while the loser had only one path—death.

In addition to these, there was also the 2nd Division.

The head of the Shihoin Clan would always assume the position of Onmitsukido's Commander-in-Chief, but there was a small problem during the tenure of the 22nd head, Shihoin Yoruichi.

Due to Yoruichi's circumstances, she did not take over as Onmitsukido's Commander-in-Chief, and neither did she become the Captain of the 2nd Division.

The selection for the Captains of those Divisions often did not go through Yamamoto Genryusai and other Captains' discussion.

Considering Tsunayashiro Tokikaze's identity as the heir of one of the Five Great Noble Families, and what Gotei 13 protected was their interests, the so-called discussion became an empty talk.

"The inauguration ceremony is now concluded."

Yamamoto Genryusai was not one to enjoy idle chatter, "Regarding matters related to your position, Captain Tokikaze, do you have any concerns?"

Once again, everyone's gaze fell on Tokikaze, sizing up their new colleague.

Tokikaze stood tall, responding to the Captains with a gentle smile, showing no signs of nervousness.

On the other hand, the newly appointed Vice-Captain, Matsumoto Rangiku, behind him seemed a bit lacking in presence.

Being watched by so many powerful Soul Reapers was the first for her. Combined with their responses earlier, she naturally felt a bit uneasy.

"I do."

"Since there are none, then I..."

Yamamoto Genryusai was speechless when he noticed Tokikaze's answer.

How could a Captain be this brazen during an inauguration ceremony? Concerns could have been addressed privately.

"Then speak your mind."

Yamamoto Genryusai cleared his throat to conceal the awkwardness, and his expression returned to normal.

"Regarding Captain Komamura's proposal earlier, I think it's quite good."

Tokikaze smiled and nodded to the large dog not far from him, indicating, "Since he sympathizes with the defeat of the 5th Seat Kaname Tosen, why not proceed with the transfer?"

Hearing Tokikaze mention the matter again, Komamura Sajin, at a distance, felt a bit upset.

He lowered his voice and said, "I am not berating you, Captain Tokikaze. I just felt bad for Tosen because Tosen is one of my few good friends."

Upon hearing this, Sosuke nodded slightly and naturally said, "That's exactly why. Since he's a good friend of yours, why don't you spend your time together? On top of becoming closer, it will also improve operational efficiency in our duties."

Shiba Isshin, on the side, clasped his hands in thought and said, "I see. That's why Rangiku also applied for a transfer. This is the bond between good friends!"

Komamura Sajin fell silent. He was not good at words and had no idea how to respond to this question.

Moreover, he thought that this approach might not be so bad after all because of Tokikaze's wording.

If Tosen wanted to transfer to the 7th Division, they could have tea or drinking sessions on weekdays to exchange opinions on justice.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt quite motivated...

Yamamoto Genryusai lowered his gaze, looking uninterested.

"This is an affair between your Divisions; feel free to discuss it on your own discretion."

The authority of the Captain of the Gotei 13 was quite high. Aside from some important matters, things like transfers could be decided on their own as long as it was reported to the 1st Division afterward.

"I have no objections."

After a brief consideration, Komamura Sajin decisively agreed to Sosuke's proposal.

"Likewise."

Tokikaze nodded in satisfaction, "Once 5th Seat Tosen's injuries are healed, he will report to the 7th Division."

In fact, the suggestion to transfer Tosen was something he came up with at the spur of the moment.

Tosen's sense of justice had deviated from the right path because it was nurtured by hatred.

Although the main factor came from Tsunayashiro Clan, Sosuke had no intention of keeping spies around.

At this moment, Tosen was extremely loyal to Aizen, with no possibility of betrayal.

Unless Tokikaze killed Tsunayashiro Tokinada right now, who happened to have Central 46 backing him up, Tosen wouldn't side with him.

With his current strength, dealing with Tsunayashiro Tokinada alone was challenging, let alone opposing the entire Soul Society.

Moreover, he wasn't interested in Tosen.

Wasn't a gentle female Soul Reaper much better?

Beneath the hat, Komamura Sajin seemed a little perplexed. He felt that things turned out somewhat weird.

However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was at the moment.

In any case, the outcome of this matter was quite satisfactory to Komamura Sajin.

Tosen should be happy when he learned about this...

The inauguration ceremony didn't make much of a splash, only causing a small commotion among the Captains and within the 9th Division.

Of course, before the ceremony began, the rumors about it had already spread throughout the Seireitei.

Tokikaze's superb performance in the assessment battle was known to those who paid attention.

After the ceremony, Kyoraku Shunsui walked alongside Tokikaze.

"It's really nostalgic."

Kyoraku Shunsui casually glanced at Tokikaze, "It feels as if you still consult with me about training during the Noble Council yesterday that the memory is still vivid in my mind. But in the blink of an eye, you've already become the 9th Division Captain."

"Talent is such a mysterious thing."

Although the Kyoraku Clan only had few members, as a superior Noble Clan, their position in the Noble Council was not low.

Coupled with Kyoraku Shunsui being the Captain of the 8th Division and also the students of Yamamoto Genryusai, Kyoraku Clan's status rose, becoming a superior noble Clan second only to the Five Great Noble Families.

Tokikaze was well aware of Kyoraku Shunsui's true strength, and even before becoming a student at Shin'o Academy, he had sought advice from him on how to grow stronger.

The two were quite close.

This was also the reason why Kyoraku Shunsui called Tokikaze "kid."
