"with all due respect sir, upon becoming a soul reaper neither my job nor my personal goal is to impress you nor the other captains. My responsibility lies solely in the protection of the soul society by which ever means I am afforded. It should be my progress, sense of duty and capabilities that will qualify me for what ever I obtain and not personal favor or kissing up. " the head captain seemed to have miss-interpreted Giovanni's request. It was of little consequence however. Gio was asking... well volunteering to be trained to be the head captains assistant or liaison to the kido corps. by what ever means necessary he meant what ever means necessary, including training or proving himself, though hopefully training came first, because he was still kind of tired from the last fight. If the request was denied, as he suspected it might be, he would simply train and inquire further on his own. After all, Sorareo had given him a hint to progress not to long ago, that could be to his advantage if explored correctly

"I'm not telling you to kiss up to us...more so just show us how serious your job is to you and how well you can do it, show us your skills and so on...the list is almost endless. No one ever became a Captain by kissing another Captains ass...every Captain earned the position they eventually settled into but getting all that aside. I assume you're here for something more...so like I probably have, I have likely misinterpreted what you meant...and going from what you said I take it you want my personal assistance on this whole matter? the one concerning your skills..." Shinji was really a bit off today but then again he did have so much going on with this immense amount of paperwork and with figuring out the whole reason for the hollows sudden appearance and so on...
