[quote=Nicias Askani] giovanni took a second to gather his thoughts. "firstly, I am a member of the kido corps. your privvy to most if not all the secrets of the soul society so i probably wont get in trouble for telling you. I say that because even though i am recently initiated, i know absolutely nothing. Simply finding the place was a pain in th..." he stoped himself and got back on topic. "i was hoping you could led me some insight to the structure of the soul societies military as a whole. while I dont even know who my captain, vice captain or even seated members are you probably do. But you might also know the reason for the secrecy so i guess that is my question. Why is gotei, and stealth force, how should i put this... controled by you and squad 2. but the kido corps remains an entirely separate yet supposedly equal military branch? what am i even supposed to be doing?" [/quote] Shinji listened to Giovanni express his confusion about the Kido corps and it was a fair point...not many knew of them and even when they did they had no idea what they did. "Well...let me say it like this. The Kido Corps have and for the most part will likely always be separate from the Gotei 13 purely for the fact that they don't want outsiders looking in and knowing the in's and out's of their daily routine, the Kido Corps handle sensitive information and most of it as you can imagine is to do with forbidden Kido's...their main priority is to record, store and determine if a Kido is useful, dangerous and so on which of course leads them to giving the Kido a classification and so on. If you didn't know already the previous Kido Corps Captains were such masters of the art they could stop time within a small area and then move that entire area and it's contents elsewhere but that was using a Kido that is forbidden...the Captain wasn't around long after that. Main point is the Kido Corps don't want prying eyes on sensitive data, who knows what damage could be done if your everyday happy go lucky Shinigami got their hands on a destructive Kido. Anyway. On top of all this the Kido Corps maintains and allows passing of people through the Senkimon whilst Squad 12 monitor it's status and so on. Now working your way up an organisation like the Kido Corps is far from easy considering it has no Captain at the moment...of course making me the effective Captain of the Kido Corps. All in all if you want to prove yourself it has to be proven to me...no one else can decide you fate within that Squad except myself. Now. I hope this has answered all your Questions..." Shinji then took a deep breath and waited for Giovanni to reply
