Restricted Death

Chapter 8 Rukia and Renji
"Rukia, what are you looking at?"

The red-haired boy with an eye-catching hairstyle squeezed through the crowd, came to his companion's side, and also looked at the bulletin board.

"Didn't we say that at the ceremony, Student Council?"

Next to him was a petite, pretty girl with short black hair and deep purple eyes, looking at the notice board with a thoughtful look.

"Hey, do you want to join the student union?" asked the red-haired boy.

"I didn't think about it, I just looked."

"If you want to join, I'll join too!"

"It's not that easy. They also said there would be an assessment."

The red-haired boy looked nonchalant: "We will definitely pass!"

While the two were talking in private, a figure suddenly stood in front of them.

"Are you interested in joining the student union?"

The man was tall, with a very striking long face, and a pair of small eyes that were almost invisible when open, which left a deep impression on people at first sight.

"I'm Qinglu, the fifth reborn. If you want to join the student council, you need to register first. What are your names?"

As Qinglu spoke, he took out a list and looked at the two of them without saying anything.

The red-haired boy immediately responded cheerfully: "Oh! My name is Abarai Renji, and she is Rukia!"

"Renci you..."

Rukia hadn't made up her mind yet. She knew nothing about the student union and only came over to take a look because there were so many people gathered there out of curiosity.

Qinglu noted their names and asked, "What about the class?"

"I'm from Class A and she's from Class B."

Aoka paused and calmly wrote "Second Class" after Rukia's name, and "Excellent Class" after Renji's name.

Class A in each grade is a special improvement class, that is, a class that brings together "outstanding students". There is no academic reference for first-time students when they first enter the school, and the basis for class division is the students' spiritual pressure level.

However, a person's initial spiritual pressure can also determine many things.

The standards for recruiting members for the Student Union have already been set, and it is clearly stated in the proposal that priority must be given to those with outstanding academic performance.

This was not decided by President Xin, but was a result of discussions and agreement from above regarding the threshold for recruiting members for the Student Union, as well as the various rules and regulations of the Student Union.

"The first written test will be held in three days. If you pass it successfully, there will be a second interview. If you pass the interview, you will be able to become a member of the student union."

"That's so troublesome." Abarai Renji said at this point.

"Only by passing through layers of screening can a person's excellence be proven." Qinglu said with a smile.

After leaving the crowd, Rukia complained about Abarai Renji's recklessness: "Idiot! Didn't I tell you I hadn't thought about it yet? Why did you sign up straight away?"

Abarai Renji scratched his head. "There's no need to overthink it. If you want to go, just sign up."

Rukia said helplessly: "I... Hey, I just saw that many students from our class have already signed up. The competition must be fierce. I may be rejected."

Abarai Renji said, "I don't think those guys are that bad. We can definitely get through."

Rukia was speechless. She was assigned to Class B, which meant that she was far behind Renci in terms of spiritual pressure and talent. She just didn't know what the assessment criteria for this student union were...

#
The Academy of Spiritual Arts has allocated a very spacious classroom to the Student Union to serve as its headquarters office. The Academy of Spiritual Arts attaches great importance to the Student Union, so the conditions it offers are very generous.

For example, the chair Xin is lying on now, and the desk in front of him made of high-grade wood.

As soon as Kasumigaoji Mitsugoro walked in, he saw the student union president with his feet up on the desk in a very ungraceful manner, and his face turned dark.

"Hey, Kasumioji-kun!"

When Xin saw him come in, he greeted him very kindly.

Kasumigaoji Mitsugoro walked up to the desk with an expressionless face. Many of the facilities and equipment in this office were sponsored by his family, and the style and wood of this desk were personally selected by him.

He suppressed his inner anger and said in a deep voice: "Tachikawa Nobuyuki, you don't act like a guild leader at all! It's too vulgar!"

Xin tilted his head and smiled, "What can I do? I happen to be the president."

"you!"

Kogoro was so angry that his breathing stopped and his chest heaved.

Xin then slowly put his legs down and said with a faint smile, "Xia Dalu, your family is really rich. It's great to have you as vice president. The student union will rely on you a lot in the future!"

Kogoro just snorted coldly. The "rich" that Shin mentioned only meant that he bought all the things in the office. He didn't even bother to respond. His family, Kasumigaoji, was an upper-class noble family in Soul Society. They mastered the technology of making weapons in Soul Society and were second only to top ancient nobles like Kuchiki, Shihouin, and Tsunayashiro. The size of their family business was probably something that Tachigawa Shin could not even imagine.

He placed a thick stack of documents on his desk.

"This is the new student file I just retrieved from the Spiritual Arts Academy's archives."

"So many!" Xin smacked his lips.

"Most of the freshmen have signed up and want to join the student union," said Kogoro.

Xin picked up the document and flipped through a few pages casually. He found that the stack of documents had also been classified. A small part of them was in one category and was clipped together separately, and the rest was in another category.

"These are all students from Class A. The student union needs to recruit members from the freshmen, so they just need to select from here." said Kogoro.

Upon hearing this, Xin calmly removed the folder containing the documents and mixed them with the rest.

"What do you mean?" Kogoro frowned. Shin leaned back in his chair and asked, "Do you know what would happen if all the first-time students in the student council were from Class A?"

"...What do you want to say?"

"If that's the case, then the student union will become a completely privileged organization that overrides the students."

Guang Goro frowned and said nothing.

"There aren't that many people in Class A. If most of them join the student council, what will become of Class A?"

Guang Golang said: "You are well aware of the student union's recruitment requirements."

Xin Dao said, "I know that, but it's still hard to say which of these new students are truly outstanding. Class A has the biggest turnover in its second year, as you should know."

Kogoro said in a deep voice, "If you are determined to do this, I will report the situation to the principal of the Spiritual Arts Academy."

Xin laughed and said, "The principal is very busy every day. There's no need to bother him with such a small matter. I've already decided, Kasumi-dori-san. If the students in Class A are good enough, they will naturally be able to pass the assessment."

Kasumigaoji Kogoro didn't argue with Nobu for much. He just stayed for a while and then left. Before leaving, he turned around and said to Nobu, "Don't put your legs on the table anymore. It's too vulgar!"

Xin looked through the files of these students. He knew that if Kasumigaoji Kogoro had a deep prejudice in his heart, he would not have brought the files of students outside Class A.

Not a bad guy.

The key is that he is very rich!

In addition to Rukia and Abarai Renji, whom he had met earlier at the notice board in the square, Xin also found two familiar names in the freshman files.

Hinamori Tao.

Kira Izuru.

Both of them were in Class A, and their backgrounds were recorded in their files, indicating that they each came from a district with relatively high numbers in Rukongai.

Xin's eyes moved back and forth across the files of the two people, his fingers gently stroking the papers.

The office door opened, and in walked Hisagi Shuhei and Kanizawa.

"You are quite leisurely."

Xiubing looked at Xin with his feet on the table, and suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

"Who said that? I'm busy working too."

Xin gestured to the document in his hand.

The two walked closer to the desk and looked at the thick stack. Xiubing was surprised and said, "So many? Are they all going to join the student union?"

"Ah."

Xiubing couldn't help but ask, "How long will this interview last?"

Kanizawa, standing by, said calmly, "There aren't that many. The written test will eliminate 90 percent of the people."

Xiu Bing was stunned, then said, "The competition is really fierce."

Xin said: "These freshmen have just entered the school and are always full of curiosity and enthusiasm about everything."

He put down the documents in his hand, straightened his sitting posture and stretched.

However, Kanizawa discovered that the top file belonged to a girl with a photo printed on it. She had a cute and pretty face and a bun.

She glanced at the letter and suddenly said, "This girl is quite cute."

Xin nodded immediately after hearing this, stroking his chin gently and said, "Yeah, I think so too. I just need an assistant..."

Xiubing looked at him speechlessly.

Written test in three days.

Because there were so many members signing up for the student union, the written examination took up a large lecture hall.

Since they were newly enrolled students, the written test did not test their professional theories, but the questions were rather tricky, mostly asking what they would do when encountering a certain situation, which did not have a fixed answer.

There is also a very special one.

[Have you ever had any Reiatsu training before entering school? If yes, please answer the questions on page 2. If no, leave this blank. No points will be deducted for leaving this blank. Points will be deducted for incorrect answers. No points will be awarded for correct answers.]

After the written test, 90 percent of the members were eliminated directly after being graded by the student union members.

Among them, Abarai Renji from Class A was directly eliminated.

His paper was graded by Xiubing.

What will happen if I join a different squad after graduation?

Abarai Renji's answer: Submit a request to the captain to change the team.

[You have become an ordinary Shinigami soldier. You haven't been promoted to a senior officer in ten years. What are your thoughts and actions?]

Abarai Renji replied: It is impossible for me to not become a chief officer for ten years.

[If your friend tells you that your boss has accepted bribes to do things that violate regulations for others, what will you do?]

Abarai Renji replied: Report!
