With her conscious finally returning into the real world, Rio's eyes began to flutter, but then she winced. The stinging pain from her right shoulder didn't disappear, but it did dull down slightly. Her left foot was also still aching from being hit by the Captain's Bakudo. However, all of the aches and pains weren't unbearable so Rio slowly began to sit upright, rubbing the back of her head where it hit the floor. she seethed under her breath. Her eyelids gradually raised, revealing her plum irises. Reclaiming her vision, she took the time to scan the room, remembering where she was. As her eyes landed on Captain Kuchiki, a quick smile took over her lips before she forced it to disappear and forced herself to stand up, making sure to mask the pain she felt as well as she could. she glanced down and tilted her head downwards when she felt the smile try to attack her straight face. once Rio fought away the smile, she lifted her face once more to glance up at her Captain, awaiting his next orders.

Kurisa watched Rio wake up and saw a smile appear on her face for a very little time before changing to an expression of seriousness but Kurisa's expression remained the same for the entire time he looked at her. "You should go rest now Rio..." Kurisa then turned and walked to the exit of the room then stopped before getting there and spoke "I was just doing what a Captain should do...there is no need to thank me...now I must go return to my office to finish my paperwork..." Kurisa then exited the room and made his way to his office to finish his paperwork that had likely built up already...

Henry Tobias

Henry stared at the man who was silent for a bit as Henry looked at the ground awkwardly, he was wondering how his little joke could have went like this, so when the man spoke up it threw Henry through a loop. Does he not know what sarcasm is? Henry thought to himself as Jyu introduced himself. Henry extended his hand and said. "My name is Henry Tobias. Nice to meet you Captain." Henry then looked down at his hand, and back up at Jyu wondering if he knew what a handshake was, if he didn't then Henry would look like an idiot.

Shinji continued to watch Yu fight on and as great as he was doing there were faults here and there but he had to remember this was a Shinigami who just came from the academy so a perfect execution of hollow extermination was bound to be a bit much to ask for but Yu did have some good techniques. Shinji looked at the hollows and squinted slightly and suddenly the way they fought changed drastically...rather than acting as wild beasts they became co-ordinated and their attacks became planned out making this entire test and situation a great deal more difficult...this was where the test would get interesting

Yu then watched as three Hollows lunged at him which Yu dodged backwards, but then saw a fourth Hollow lunging over the other three. By the time Yu landed, it was too late to dodge, and the Hollows head slammed right into his body sending him flying but the time another Hollow caught him and slammed him onto the ground. Yu coughed up blood as he shunpoed away before it could squash him. He shunpoed away from all of them as he wiped the blood running down his head. " Crap they are working together now? Still quite a few of them too." Yu mumbled to himself as they walked towards him this time. He then grinned as he thought up a plan and shunpoed in the air between two of them, they both swung at him, yet he ducked and as both of the Hollow's fist collided, he quickly slashed through both of their heads, yet one Hollow struck him from behind and sent him flying towards another Hollows, but Yu used this speed to his advantage, and held his Shikai out in front of him, and rammed right into the Hollows head. Of course the hit from behind him hurt, but it did help him. I should count myself lucky that these aren't Gillians. he then prepared himself for the few that remained.

Giovanni wandered almost aimlessly throughout the seireitei. he knew where he was going, getting there was "this place is a damn maze" he mumbled to himself as he walked around. He glanced up at the grey sky and noted how odd it was but after thinking about it for a moment it wasnt really that odd. they were just clouds. if it rained hard enough some of the poorer districts would have free water. That was a good thing, he thought. when he looked back down and looked around "damn it. now where the hell am I" He didnt want to try tracking anyone, that took up too much of his concentration and he wouldnt really be paying attention to exactly it was where he was going. he wanted to learn the lay of the land.

Viole turned his attention back to the man, losing himself in the sky for a moment. He decided that he wanted to make it rain everyday, since its sight was so beautiful. Viole noticed the man extended his hand out to him and just stared at it blankly for a moment "...." He pulled a book out from his sleeve and quickly read a page "So a high five huh" He said, quietly to himself. He put the book away and gave Henry a high five "Nice to meet you Henry Tobias, its always nice to meet shinigamis of the Seireitei. What squad do you happen to be from?" Viole forgot that he wore a haori, or well something like a haori, and had to get used to being called captain.

[Zane620]

Henry saw him pull out a book which he then said soemthing about a high five and then smacked his hand. Henry remained silent as he lowered his hand, and looked at him again. [i] Yeah he has the uniform for a captain. Maybe he stole it?[i] Henry though to himself, then when he was asked which squad he was in he smirked and said. "I haven't joined one yet. I really should, but I always end up putting it off for some reason."

Hours had passed and Kaizo stood in the bamboo forest panting and dripping with sweat, his body began to ache and his legs began to shake as they could barely hold him up anymore, his arms burned but he refused to fall to his knees but with every second he felt it getting harder and harder not to and before even a minute passed he dropped to his hands and knees panting heavily then he grit his teeth and began punching the floor with his right fist over and over again with pure aggression in his voice "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! why am I so useless! Why can I not be like everyone else! why does my body always give up! how am I supposed to get anywhere if I can't even manage a bit of training!!" As Kaizo said this a yellow Aura had begun to form around him and grew larger and larger as he got more and more irritated and angry at himself then suddenly Kaizo slammed his right fist into his own gut causing him to cough up blood "You're worthless!" Kaizo then punched himself again causing him to cough up more blood "Nothing but a weakling!" Kaizo then fell back into a kneeling position and looked up to the gray sky "Why can I never get stronger...why...is this all that I am capable of? how is this fair! how am I supposed to become a Captain with such a weak body!!" Kaizo's head then dropped and the yellow spiritual energy that had formed into an Aura grew more and more to such a point shapes began to form from the spiritual energy and these weren't simple shapes this looked like a skull...Kaizo was indeed strong but he was blind to this and his greatest weakness was himself...he made himself suffer.

Kaizo clenched his hands into fists and grit his teeth then with his right hand he grabbed the hilt of his Zanpakuto and unsheathed it with pure rage causing it to spark as it came out the sheath then he stood to his feet and then rammed his Zanpakuto into his right leg causing blood to spurt out violently, he then removed the Zanpakuto and Sheathed it "If you are going to give up then you can suffer!! my body can give out but my soul will not and so long as I have a soul and a heart I wont stop! YOU HEAR ME!!! I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!" Kaizo began clenching his fists so hard that the palms of his hands began to bleed then suddenly he looked straight up and began shunpoing around faster than before even with the wound to his leg but every time he'd pass the Bambo it'd rip apart like sword through paper...it was effortless...Kaizo's determination was on a whole other level and if he had to put himself through pain to get to this state then he would...no matter what it took

Shinji watched Yu fight and it was to him reckless but this would be beaten out of him...he would learn to fight with skill and if that skill should fail him then he'd fight with pure instinct...something that was almost impossible to deal with but then again this only applied to a few cases. Shinji closed his eyes for a moment then opened them and watched as the hollows charged up a cero but this was different...they were planning to fire them individually and then form it into one large Cero that even if dodge would cause on hell of an explosion...it was just good the room was strong but for those inside...it'd feel like they just got hit by a Lieutenant...so to an unseated member that'd hurt...a lot...

Viole noticed Henry's quite and blank expression, which made Viole wonder if Henry was offering him a high five. Viole scratched his head "I'm guessing you weren't offering a high five?" Viole smiled, noticing Henry's smirk and figured he had a passion for being a shinigami. "Ahh I see, but you should muster up the courage to join a squad. If you can't have the courage for that, then how do you plan onto being a great shinigami!?" Viole said, trying to look inspirational for once. "Do you have any particular squads you wish joining?"

[Zane620]

Yu got his Shikai ready, but the Hollows stopped which caused him to look at them with a skeptical look, yet he kept his weapon ready. However he wasn't expecting them all to do a cero, once the first one fired he knew this would not be good for himself. The other hollows them self fired in unison, and Yu watched as all the cero's combined into a larger cero that was heading straight at him. he took a quick look around the room ,and no matter what he did, this would end up hurting him no matter what. Yu stood his ground and held his shikai out horizontally in front of him, and as the Cero struck it, he was being pushed back yet he continued to hold it there. Thats when he grinned at the Holows , and shunpoed behind them, which meant the cero hit the all causing a huge explosion which sent Yu flying back to the wall causing him to cough out more blood, yet he didn't get as much of the force as the Hollows did, as he used thier bodies as a shield from most of the exploding cero's force. As they were affected by their own cero's explosion and flew back themselves. Yu took that opening, and managed to slice through three of the Hollows head, and grinned at the remaining one's. "Well? Anymore tricks? Go ahead I'll just counter them with my own." Yu said as his blood from the wound on his head still poured down to the ground.

Henry rubbed the back of his head and grinned. "Yeah, it was a handshake. A high five is higher up in the air." He said, but then got what looked to be a passionate speech on mustering up the courage to join a squad. then was asked if he had any he wanted to join. "Well it's not that I don't have the courage to join one, i'm more along the lines of to lazy to go and join one. However I always have time for fighting. So either squad two or squad eleven. Those would be my top choices. I should join one though. Just never got the time to go do it."

Shinji continued to watch on but this time not a thought was going through his head...instead something else happened which would likely confuse Yu. The last remaining 2 hollows charged at Yu blindly but then the one that would be on Yu's right disappeared suddenly leaving a ripping sound as it did then the other stopped and fired off a cero almost instantly then the other hollow appeared behind Yu and went to slam it's right open palm into him and basically push him into contact with the Cero to cause greater damage...if Yu hadn't already picked up...these hollows were not normal...not at all

[Zane620]

Yu kept his grin as they ran right at him, however one vanished which caused him to go wide eyed as the other stopped and fired a cero. Yu knew one Cero explosion wouldn't harm him to much so he went to dodge when the other Hollow appeared behind him, and pushed him forward with it's right palm, slamming him right into the cero, which caused Yu to yell in pain, when the Cero went away, Yu instantly Shunpoed away from them, with half his face covered in blood, and his uniform torn up. He looked at the two Hollows and examined them. "A Hollow shouldn't be able to operate on this kind of level. The academy did teach us even though it was very little, about Arrancars." Yu then looked at the two of them and yet he continued to grin at them. "Well it makes sense as to why they started being smart when they attacked." Yu said ut he shunpoed in front of one, and made it seem he was going to swing, when he then shunpoed to the other one that used his palm to push him into the cero, and thrust his Zanpakuto right towards it's head.

Viole dropped his head in shame How can I be so foolish to mistake a handshake for a highfive Viole thought in his head. He raised his head, wanting to go hide in a hole or something. Viole's expression changed when Henry said he was too lazy to join a squad "Being lazy isn't an excuse to go by! If you're gonna be lazy, then all of your..." Viole quickly pulled out his book and skimmed through it. "Friends" He put it back in his sleeve "Will surpass you in no time. But uhhh, I'd say you go with Squad 11. I heard they like to fight more, but squad 2 is more ninja like. I suppose it depends on your fighting style"

Shinji watched Yu fight on and was surprised at him getting caught by the cero but it was bound to happen. The hollow that had fired the cero went to grab Yu from behind and regardless of succession it wouldn't matter, the other Hollow did indeed get pierced through the head but barely but still it was a critical wound so the hollow had planned something...both of them had...the hollow that had been stabbed began to glow white then suddenly expanded a bit almost like it was blowing up like a balloon but it was doing just that...blowing itself up...it was trying to take Yu with it and the other hollow was fine with being taken out...

Henry started to feel bad when Viole looked down in shame, but then Henry found himself on the receiving end of a lecture, which Viole needed his book to say his friends would surpass him if he kept this up. Yet was said squad eleven liked to fight more while squad two was more ninja like. He wasn't sure why but that amused him. He then pulled out his two Zanpakuto and held them vertically in front of him. One was shorter than the other. "Ahh there lies the problem. Squad eleven likes to fight so much that they don't resort to little tricks. My zanpakutos on the other hand are alll about tricks. Almost everything they do involves a trick in a way."

[Zane620]

Yu strike didn't manage to kill it in one shot, which caused Yu to frown, which meant he failed the test, yet he still was going to finish the test no matter what. He saw the Hollow behind him reach for him. Yet Yu shunpoed right on it's head and stabbed his Shikai right into it's head until the blade itself wasn't able to be seen. He pulled it out and watched it fall to the ground, when he noticed that the other Hollow wasn't trying to attack him. he turned to see it expanding more and more, which made Yu grit his teeth. "I see your last trick." Yu then shunpoed over it and pointed his shikai at it. "I said I'd purify all of you guys, you are no exception." Yu said as he pierced his Shikai through it's head, and prepared himself for the explosion.

The hollow that was about to explode got pierced through the head then suddenly stopped expanding and instead just fell to the ground and disappeared, Shinji then appeared in the room seemingly out of nowhere and walked towards Yu "well...you almost managed to kill the last one however the strike was to shallow however this was no worry...as really you should have failed you didn't...you still managed to finish the job despite the difficulties you faced so a single slip up was expected...now you may want to go to Squad 4...get yourself cleaned up....when you come back you will officially be apart of Squad 1" Shinji then walked passed Yu and left the room the way he came in, leaving Yu in the room by himself

"So your zanpakuto is more tricky like?" Viole asked, rubbing his chin and trying to look professor like. "Well I'm not too sure, but from the movies I've seen ninjas use tricks don't they? So I'd say that you're more qualified to join Squad 2. Plus, I heard being a ninja is much cooler than samurais" Viole said, nodding his head to reassure him "Besides, what type of zanpakuto do you have?" Viole asked, somewhat curious of the different abilities shinigamis had.

[Zane620]

Yu was all prepared for an explosion but was dumbfounded when all it did was fall to the ground and vanish. Leaving Yu standing there speechless. As he reverted his Shikai to it's sealed form, the Captain came, and he was expecting to hear that he failed, but was surprised when he was told he did good,and was predicted to fail, and that one slip up wasn't that bad. He then suggested going to Squad four to be patched up from the damage he took, and when he got back he would officially be apart of Squad One. Once the Captain left, Yu looked around the room that had his and the hollows he purified blood in it. Yu smiled slightly to himself as he did was the Captain suggest, and made his way towards the Squad four's building, he didn't even need a reason to come in. Once they saw him they opened the gates right away.
