[quote=Zane620] Yu after finishing what he said, watched the Head Captain as he thought about what he just said. Then when he started speaking to him Yu nodded about what he did know about the squad. It was true that although few in number, most in Squad one were amazing Shinigami, true role models to future Shinigami. He then followed along with the Captain as they walked through the barracks and then went down a flight of stairs. As they were walking down the stairs he was told why few have ever passed this test, as most were injured or killed. "Becoming a Shinigami itself means you know death is a risk." Yu replied with as they finally reached the bottom of the stairs, and made their way into the dark room that had no light besides what light from outside the room provided. The Captain then turned and looked Yu right in the eyes and asked him if he was ready for the test. Yu nodded as he had already came this far, and he didn't plan to back out now. "Yes I am." Yu replied, as he looked around the dark room, trying to figure out what the test may be. [/quote] Shinji continued to look at Yu and listened to what he said then Shinji's eyes narrowed very slightly and the door closed and now they stood in a room of pitch black then a few seconds later lights came on from all around and flooded the area with light and in this room stood many hollows chained up surrounding them both "Disgusting isn't it? keeping souls that lost their purpose chained up to be used for a test...it is indeed harsh but this is simply my method...their time will come and they shall be purified but if I can give them meaning to their sorry existence then there is nothing wrong with what I do...call me a criminal, a monster and whatever you want but my methods work...Now...there is but one rule to this test...you must and this an absolute must. You must kill the hollow with 1 strike and this must be done with your Zanpakuto...this is the only thing that purifies them. Shinigami on a daily basis use their fists, kido and so on to kill hollows and this does not purify them and this makes us no better than Quincy...our greatest enemy...Now..." Shinji then turned and walked towards a hollow "The test begins" Shinji then seemingly vanished as all the chains holding the hollows broke and released the hollows that all ran to Yu from all directions
