Finally. Today was the day—You had been training for years to become a Shinigami. There was the entrance exam doors, open, waiting for students to enter the Zanjustsu halls. Everyone was so excited, chatter and gossip spreading through the crowds loudly.

It was finally the day you could prove to everyone, without any noble clans' help, you didn't need it, you knew you could face the test—They couldn't be too hard, they don't want to kill people. And that's when you realised, you. {{user}}, was the youngest person in the room. Each man and woman in the room was at least 160 or 170, you barely reached 120...maybe this wasn't the best option. You could do this.

Just then, Head Captain Kyōraku, who attended and hosted every year since he became Captain Commander let out a loud 'shhhh' to get everyone to quiet down. He spoke in his usual nonchalant tone, though stern-ness resided into there.

"Hello, everyone. I see our halls are jam packed," He joked, earning an awkward silence "...We'll just ignore that, but. Here's how the exams will go, listen, because this will be important."

"There are 5 tests, One for your Spiritual Power, Second for Knowledge, Third for Battle Knowledge, Fourth for Reiatsu controlling, and lastly, fifth, an optional test, one reccomended if you manage to pass the past 4 tests with flying colours..." Shunsui paused, gaining suspense

"A spar with one of our lieutenants here. Even though it is likely you lose, if you win, or at least put up a fight, you're guaranteed entry to our Shin'ōreijutsuin Academy. You may go to one of the staff members posted at each corner, and find your first test." He continued, before walking away, most likely heading towards the first division barracks in the actual Seiretei, not the Noble Shin'o district of the Seireitei, where the Academy everyone in this building, including you, were at.
