47 Shinigami selections (2)

After that, the guy didn't say anything else again, and I got to wait in line in silence, watching people go in the large tent and some of them going out with down case faces.

After the person in front of me came out, a shinigami came to me and said "Please go inside and go to the room on the most right."

Nodding to him, I went inside the tent and saw that there was 8 other rooms that are for the 8 lines outside.

I went to the far most right room and stepped on it, showing a lively shinigami girl with a notepad behind a receptionist desk.

When she saw me, her face became a little bit red but she still asked me with an energetic tone.

"Good morning! May I get your name?"

"Kurōdo Kentaro." I translated my first name to japanese because having an english name while having a last name in japanese will be weird.

A/N: Be honest with me guys which one do you prefer Claude Kentaro or Kurōdo Kentaro?

"I see, are you a recently new soul?" She took out a pen and started to write something on the notepad then looked up to me again and asked.

"Yes."

"I see origin?"

"District 74."

"Where do you currently live?"

"In this district, I live in tsumuto inn, room 31."

"Okay then, your done here, please step into that room beside me." She pointed her pen to the room next to her.

"Thank you." I said.

"It's okay, I'm just doing my job." She quickly waved her hand in front of her.

After that, I walked inside the room beside her, revealing a blue and white room with a futuristic looking machine on the middle.

There were also some people in white lad coats around the machine, checking it and sometimes writing notes.

One of them noticed me and went up to me.

"He- hello, my name is Rin Tsubokura, please go in front of the machine and put your hand in the black pad."

The one that spoke just now was a young looking, white skinned shinigami that has shoulder length brown hair with a part of of it being arranged into a small topknot at the front of his head.

The knot was being held a red tie. He also has small brown eyelashes that are one half the size of his eyes.

"Mhm." I went in front of the futuristic machine that has a shape similar to a punching machine game with a big box in the bottom of it while there was a cover on top.

I did as I was told and put my hand on top of the box where there was a black surface on the middle.

*Beep calculating*

An emotionless voice came out from the machine and the middle part of the machine lit up, showing numbers with a loading bar.

Tsubokura and the other people in lab coats looked at the machine, waiting for the results. And when it did, they got speechless.

'This is closely referenced to a game'

A/N: I'll be using ' ' for thoughts and " " for speaking from now on.

The loading bar continued to go towards the end before finishing

*Ding!*

( ⁰ o ⁰ ) Silence covered the entire room as all the people in it were shocked by the results, except of course me.

They couldn't believe that someone with a level 5 reiryoku appeared here as most of the ones that got level 5 ended up becoming captains of the gotei.

Having enough of the silence, I said to them "So what do I do now?"

My words seem to work as the people in the room snapped out of their stupor and Tsubokura said stuttering "Y-you pass p-please go inside that room."

He gestured over to a room that was at the side of the room.

Leaving the room with shocked poeple, I opened the door to a wide open area that was still being covered by the tent.

'Just how big is this thing?' I thought with puzzlement because the room was at least 10 meters in height and width.

And they didn't even make the crowd move earlier!

"What are you spacing out for? Come on, pick up a bokken already." An impatient voice called out to me.

Looking at where it came from, I saw a fierce looking middle aged man with black hair and a short beard, he also was wearing an eyepatch over his right eye.

"Oh yeah." I looked to the side and saw a bunch of bokken's on stands.

Going over to them, I picked up one and went in front of the man.

"Come, fight me with your best." The man said as he positioned himself in a defensive position.

'Yeah no shot If I fight you with my best then I won't even need to to move to kill you' I thought as I remembered space detonation.

I positioned myself in a stance by putting by bending my body, putting one step forward, my bokken pointing at the ground to my right.

This was a position I made that lets me make fast strikes while also being able to deflect attacks from the side.

I made this when I was training with William because he often attacks me by my side.

Seeing my stance, the man raised an eyebrow and said.

"A.I start the battle."

| Affirmative, battle commencing 3, 2, 1. GO! |

A large screen appeared in the side of us and said.

I decided to limit myself and just make him lose his bokken.

I gripped my bokken as I ran at him with a speed that is slightly fast, just enough to outrun an ordinary grown up man.

When the man saw my speed, his expression became serious as he looked at my approaching figure.

I arrived in front of the man and stabbed towards his belly, in response, he swung down his bokken towards mine.

But that was just a fake, as his bokken was about to hit mine, I changed the direction of my bokken and slashed towards the top handle of his bokken.

Since he was almost done with his swing, he couldn't bring his bokken up and defend, so my strike landed on the handle of his bokken.

I put more force into my strike as his bokken flew out of his hand and onto the side of the room.

The man looked shocked that someone beat him but that quickly changed into a smiling one.

"Nice one brat, you passed my test. A.I what do you think?"

| Kurōdo Kentaro passed the test |

"Well you heard it brat you passed, go to that machine where you'll get a paper that has a color in it, then go out of that door and join your respective group."

He pointed to a machine that was near a door then at the door.

"Okay thank you." I said with a happy smile because I could finally join the shin'ō academy and learn kido's.

I plan to learn all the kido's that they teach and apply for an early graduation, as for the forbidden kido's, I could always sneak into the library but before that I need to know if there are guards there.

If I don't do that then I might as well be considered stupid, what if a guard found me and ring the alarms when I'm reading.

Although I know I could escape by using a garganta, and if I use a disguise I won't be caught. I still want to be quite as possible.

I went to the machine and pressed a button that has a press me sigh on top.

A red paper came out of the tiny gap on the machine and I took it.

I looked at it for anything and saw that there was a class 1 in it.

'Nice.' I thought.
