Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

In fact, Wang Xun had thought about the issue of which squad belonged to him before.

Given his ability to collect fragments, his first choice would naturally be the 8th Division, which is responsible for intelligence, and the 10th Division, which is responsible for security patrols.

This type of job, which offers relatively high freedom and a wide range of activities, is obviously more conducive to his actions.

He would take advantage of his position to visit other squads whenever he had free time, roaming between them and collecting fragments like crazy. Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

Although the Second Division also has patrol teams responsible for patrolling, their operating principles are based on secrecy, efficiency, and absolute obedience.

Furthermore, the team has strict rules and places great emphasis on covert surveillance and internal purges.

For him, such a tightly organized squad is more restrictive than convenient, so it is not his first choice.

At this moment, faced with Yoruichi Shihōin's straightforward and forceful recruitment, Wang Xun's mind raced.

He glanced at the seemingly relaxed captain of the Eighth Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.

Just then, Wang Xun noticed that the captain, who always had a carefree smile, was also looking at him thoughtfully.

Their gazes met in mid-air, and a strange spark seemed to fly between them.

Wang Xun's heart stirred.

Could it be...

Is the band leader of the Beijing Opera also interested in recruiting me?

Thinking of this, he composed himself and cleared his throat.

"I've personally considered this matter before. If we're talking about interests and suitability, perhaps the Eighth Division's role..."

"Oh dear, that's a real shame. The Eighth Division is currently overcrowded and there are no vacancies."

Wang Xun was slightly taken aback.

"And...what about after that?"

"There won't be any more in the future."

Kyoraku Shunsui's smile remained unchanged, his tone resolute.

Hearing Kyoraku Shunsui's cold words, Wang Xun slowly formed a question mark in his mind.

Why did you look at me like that just now?

Seeing the inexplicable astonishment on Wang Xun's face, Kyoraku Shunsui felt a sense of relief.

That white-haired kid actually dares to dream of joining the Eighth Division.

Dream building!

Luckily, I discovered it in advance.

If I'm not careful, and this kid actually manages to sneak into the Eighth Division, I'll be seeing him and Nanao all lovey-dovey every day, right under my nose...

Just thinking about that scene makes Kyoraku feel his blood pressure rising.

It would be better to take this opportunity to get this kid into the Second Division, so we can avoid seeing him and getting annoyed.

With that in mind, Kyoraku Shunsui began to chime in.

"Speaking of which, the Onmitsukido is on par with the Kidoshu, and is a powerful organization independent of the Gotei 13."

"To receive a personal invitation from the Commander-in-Chief of Shihōin is an honor you would refuse, classmate. Your standards are a bit too high."

"That's right, that's right~"

Yoruichi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze towards Wang Xun carrying an undeniable sharpness.

"Do you have some other ideas?"

Soi Fon, standing beside her, did not speak, but her petite body straightened slightly.

His cold eyes locked onto Wang Xun instantly, emanating an aura of danger.

Wang Xun was startled.

Oh no, why is Kyoraku, that old man, putting himself on such a pedestal?

So you're not a law-abiding citizen after all.

When did I offend him?

Looking at the two women, one big and one small, staring intently at him, Wang Xun felt immense pressure.

The Eighth Division is out of the question; the captain himself has blocked his path. And he has no acquaintances in the Tenth Division to rely on.

That means no one is willing to risk the pressure of being the head of the Shihōin family, one of the four great noble families, to rescue themselves.

If I refuse now, my future in the Gotei 13 will probably be much more difficult.

Thinking of this, Wang Xun bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Captain Shihouin. However... I am worried that graduating early and joining the Second Division might attract unnecessary attention and speculation."

"I hope to complete my studies at the Shinigami Academy, and upon graduation, I will apply to join the Onmitsukido."

Yoruichi's smile deepened as she looked at Wang Xun, who had agreed.

Once you agree, things will be much easier.

"Alright, I'm not an unfeeling person. In that case, let's each take a step back."

"You can stay at the Spiritual Arts Academy and complete this year's courses. Anyway, after the fifth year, the focus will be on guiding the next generation and consolidating your own cultivation. With your qualifications, it won't make much difference whether you participate or not."

"After this year's courses conclude, you will apply for early graduation and participate in the special recruitment examination for the Second Division. Do you have any further objections?"

Wang Xun knew that this was the biggest concession that Yoruichi Shihouin could make.

Staying in the Academy of Spiritual Arts for another year would indeed be meaningless for him.

Joining the Gotei 13 as soon as possible will also improve your efficiency in obtaining fragments.

With that thought, he bowed again.

"Thank you for your understanding, Captain Sifeng. I have no further objections."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you in the Second Division when this year ends. Soi Fon, see him out."

Yoruichi clapped her hands.

Wang Xun then left under Soi Fon's guidance.

With that, the matter was settled regarding Wang Xun's inquiry.

As for the outcome, Wang Xun could accept it.

When he decided to kill that Hollow, he was already prepared for all the changes that would follow.

On the way out, Soi Fon stood beside Wang Xun, glancing at him every now and then.

When Wang Xun looked over, she looked away.

"Soi...Fun? I just heard Captain Shihouin call your name. May I call you that too?"

"what ever."

"You seem to be staring at me. Is there something dirty on my face?"

Soi Fon finally met his gaze.

"I'm just curious why Yoruichi would be interested in you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun sighed inwardly.

He did have some guesses about this matter.

Perhaps it was because of his relationship with Shiba Kaien in his words.

Or perhaps, Yoruichi Shihouin felt that she was someone worth observing.

Just as Hirako Shinji kept Aizen by his side, she also chose to keep herself in the closest position where she could see him.

They're all old foxes who've lived for hundreds of years; not one of them is easy to deal with.

At that moment, Soi Fon's voice rang out again.

"If you do enter the Second Division and join the Execution Army a year from now, you'd better seize every opportunity to improve yourself."

"The Execution Army is mainly responsible for executing and assassinating rebellious Grim Reapers. It is the second division that directly confronts vicious criminals and has the highest casualty rate."

"If you're not strong enough, then... you won't live long."

Wang Xun watched Soi Fon's retreating figure, a slight stirring in his heart.

Wang Xun had heard of the dangers of the Criminal Investigation Department.

This definitely needs to be treated with caution.

"You're right, thank you for reminding me."

Soi Fon turned and stared at Wang Xun for a moment, then looked away and said nothing more.

As Wang Xun and Soi Fon rounded a corner, a tall and broad figure walked towards them.

The newcomer sported a short, brown pompadour and was adorned with various gold ornaments that were dazzling to the eye.

It was none other than the current vice-captain of the Second Division, Noriyuki Ōmaeda.

"Hey, Soi Fon, is Captain Yoruichi in the meeting room?"

"Yes, Captain Hirako and Captain Kyoraku are also here."

"Okay, I've brought the person over."

Ōmaeda turned to the side, revealing the person behind him.

Aizen Sousuke emerged from the shadows.

When he saw Wang Xun across from him, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Wang Xun, it's been a long time!"
