In the main hall of the Shino Academy were graduates all lined up and ready to be told which Squad they would be sent to. A lot of the graduates were making a really big fuss about this but for a few it didn't really matter...if anything it was a blessing in disguise as they didn't know where the hell they were going to go anyway. "
Takeda Sujiboro, Squad 13. Shinzo Harimaya...Squad 10"
Shinzo looked up seeing his name was the last one to be called out...so Squad 10 huh? Well...it'd do for now. He just hoped the Captain wasn't some old stuck up fart...no doubt he was though as most of them seemed to be. Shinzo then turned and left the hall as he made his way to his room to pack his things. He looked up at the roof and placed his hands into his pockets as he took a deep breath before exhaling "
Finally graduating...took long enough. At least I'm finally getting out of this stupid place...now I can focus on why I came here in the first place." Shinzo stopped outside his room then slide the door open and stepped into his room, sliding the door back behind him.
Immediately Shinzo began to gather his things which wasn't a lot. He strapped his Zanpakuto to his left hip and then grabbed the few clothes he had and shoved them into a bag and threw it onto his back, then walked back out his room. Shinzo slid the door behind him one last time, not bothering to look back. He had no fond memories of this place...up until that day a few years ago Shinzo never had an interest in becoming a Shinigami and even now his reason for becoming a Shinigami was somewhat pathetic...still...were any of these other Shinigami here for any better of a reason? What did they want? To become a strong Captain? To protect people because that's what they truly wanted? to keep the balance of the worlds? it was laughable...they dreamed big but would always fall drastically short of this goal...in truth they were really only here for a more cosy life. Just by looking in their eyes you could see the fear in their souls...they would likely break down if they ever got into a real fight against a hollow.
Shinzo made his way out to the exit of the Shino Academy, the sunlight a cool breeze hitting his face...to be honest it was nice...the fresh air...Shinzo appreciated the simple things in life and this was one of them. This to him was true peace...alone with yourself on an amazing day like this one. However his little relaxation period was cut short when he suddenly felt a crushing presence near by, the feeling alone caused his eyes to widen dramatically as he tried to look to where the pressure was coming from, yet his vision became blurry and his legs shook a bit almost causing him to lose balance as his heart beat raised dramatically. Then he saw it...the blurry figure that caused this feeling. An old man standing at the gates, his long white Haori flowing in the wind....was this the power of a Captain?
Up until now Shinzo had underestimated them but this was something else...he knew they would be strong but he didn't know this was possible! it was beyond comprehension! He simply couldn't think as to how it was possible...it was if everything in his body had become useless, like he was frozen in place...however inside him it felt like he was burning...as if a fire had suddenly ignited deep inside of him, this caused him to clutch his chest with his left hand as he began to sweat profoundly...just what in the hell was all this!? What was a Captain doing here anyway!?...yet something else was happening right now...as the burning sensation in his chest got stronger, the feeling of the Captains pressure began to ease...he felt as if he could finally move his body again and rather than sit there and try figure out why he was going to get the hell out of here!
Shinzo immediately ran towards the gates, the pressure increasing and as it did the burning in his chest got stronger and stronger yet he powered through this, running past the Captain and down one of the many path ways of the Seireitei. Shinzo then found himself in an ally, slumped against a wall, clutching his chest still as he slid down the wall into a seated position. "
What the hell was all that!? Is that the power of a Captain?..." Shinzo then clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into the wall behind him "
How fucking stupid am I!? How could I seriously underestimate them like this!? Dammit!...I hate that feeling...that feeling of being crushed! it makes me feel so fucking weak and I hate that!...Well then...I guess I just found my new reason for being here...I'm going to stand up to one of those fuckers one day and beat them the fuck down! I want to humiliate them!...I guess now I'm the one dreaming the impossible but hell! at least I got something to aim for...Now...time to find the bastard who's gunna train me! I haven't got time to waste!"
Shinzo then pulled himself up to his feet and began to make his way towards the Squad 10 barracks...or at least that's what he thought...in truth he had a terrible sense of direction so it'd likely take him all day to find his way there.
