The fan-fic has entered the canon period in the Pat reon.
*****
Mazuru's life in Soul Society seems to be very leisurely, he went on dates with Nanao from time to time, occasionally went to drink with Rangiku, hung out at Sui Feng's house and stayed overnight.
Hisana, after all, still could not get rid of the fate of an ordinary soul. As an ordinary soul without spiritual power, her body couldn't bear the burden of living in Seireitei which has a very high concentration of spiritual particles for a long time. She spent her final moments in Byakuya's arms.
After Hisana's death, the already taciturn Byakuya became even more indifferent.
He closed himself in his room and saw no outsiders for several months.
After several months when he finally came out, the first thing he did was visiting his grandfather Ginrei and proposed to participate in the captain's assessment.
After hearing Byakuya's request, both Ginrei and Soujun sighed.
But Ginrei did not refuse.
As his grandson, Byakuya, the heir of the Kuchiki family, will sooner or later bear the burden of the family's name. Hisana, as an ordinary soul, was doomed to be unable to accompany him for the rest of his life
Now they just hope that Byakuya can come out of her death's shadow soon.
Under the arrangement of Ginrei, the head-captain selected a candidate and conducted a special captain assessment for Byakuya. In the end, Byakuya showed the perfect qualities of a noble.
Zankensoki (Cut-Fist-Run-Spirit), all major abilities are excellently mastered and thus he successfully passed the captain's assessment.
Shortly after he passed the captain's assessment, Ginrei handed over the captain position of Sixth Division to Byakuya, and then announced his retirement. Soujun also resigned from the position of vice-captain.
Although the position of vice-captain is also vacant, Ginrei and Soujun aren't worried about it. The future of the Sixth Division depends on Byakuya. They left it to him to choose the candidate for the position.
After taking over as the captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya demonstrated the outstanding ability of the Kuchiki family's contemporary head, handling team affairs and various affairs involving nobles properly and without a slightest mistake.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that he was the 3rd seat of the Sixth Division before, while assisting the vice-captain, his father, he handled a lot of team affairs.
However, no one thought that only after a few months after becoming the head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya made a decision that went against his ancestors.
He went to the Shinō Academy and found a freshman named "Rukia" who was enrolled at the same time as Hinamori Momo, and adopted her as a younger sister on the grounds that the other party had a similar appearance to his late wife Hisana.
It doesn't matter what Rukia thinks.
At this time, Byakuya is already the head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the Sixth Division. The Kuchiki family is the head of the four great nobles. The decision he made could not be rejected by Rukia, a commoner student.
From then on, Rukia, the sparrow that was struggling in Rukongai, flew up to a tree in one fell swoop, turned into a phoenix, changed her name to Kuchiki Rukia, and became a member of the head family of the four great nobles.
(T.L Note: I personally felt that this line is a little cringe. What about you guys?)
Also because of this incident, Rukia's best friend who had an inseparable relationship with Rukia in Rukongai has since alienated her.
…
In Rukongai, Mazuru trained Toshiro and returned to the Third Division.
During this period, something about Momo could not help but come to his ears. Momo and other first-year freshmen, led by the sixth-grade elite headed by Hisagi Shuhei, went to the present world for a simulated soul burial practice.
However, it is not known whether it was because of their luck or any other factor, something happened not long after they went to the world of living.
A group of students who were supposed to go on an internship in the present world were attacked by varying numbers of Menos Grande.
Fortunately, Aizen Sosuke, captain of the Fifth Division, rescued them in time, so no big accident happened.
In the Third Division, Mazuru couldn't help sighing, "The freshmen were attacked by Menos Grande, and Captain Aizen arrived in time. These is a really good coincidence."
Gin narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence, but it also indirectly shows that Captain Aizen is efficient, doesn't it?"
Mazuru nodded, "Indeed."
Regarding the whole story of the soul burial practice incident, even if they weren't present there, they could still guess a lot.
The hollows that those new students encountered should be Aizen's experimental subjects.
The two of them continue to chat a few words casually, and then ignored the matter of the Fifth Division and Aizen, and continued to devote themselves to their respective work.
…
Time flowed and several years have passed.
It was time to graduate for the freshmen who encountered the hollow group practice in the soul burial practice in a blink of an eye.
Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji, Hinamori Momo, Kira Izuru and other students of the same period graduated, entered the Gotei 13, and became official shinigami.
It seems that there is not a much time left before the so-called plot starts, but this is just a subjective look on the matter.
…
West Rukongai District 1.
Toshiro basically hasn't changed in appearance compared to a few years ago, and for shinigami, especially those whose reiatsu are powerful, their physical growth is too slow.
After several years of studying under Mazuru, although Toshiro did not enter the Shinō Academy, his strength is not inferior to any student.
Today, with Momo's graduation and becoming an official shinigami.
He also gradually made up his mind to become a real shinigami.
Of course, he was reluctant to leave his grandma.
But in the past few years, he gradually figured it out.
His grandma is an ordinary soul, but he is a soul with spiritual power, who can become a shinigami. Sooner or later to control the power in his body and find out who is calling him, he needs to become a shinigami.
So, Toshiro applied for the Shinō Academy.
With his aptitude, it was a breeze to pass the entrance examination.
After learning that Toshiro's roommate in the Shinō Academy is a man named Kusaka Sojiro, Mazuru couldn't help but think of a theatrical version of the official book.
However, he didn't do anything rashly.
Toshiro has his own way to go, some things, only through personal experience, will he be able to grow.
Toshiro was born with a very powerful reiatsu, and he is an out-and-out genius. Even though he had been taught by Mazuru before entering the academy, he did not follow Kaien, Gin, etc. to skip grades, but honestly spent six years in the academy and systematically studied all the abilities of shinigami.
During these six years, Kusaka Sojiro was his roommate and best friend. The two were almost inseparable. At the same time, they both dreamed about joining Gotei 13 after graduation.
But no one thought that on the eve of graduation, an incident became the fuse of the breakdown of the friendship between the two.
The incident was Sojiro's Zanpakuto awakening.
Zanpakuto, as the part of the shinigami's soul, is a weapon derived from polishing the asauchi, and fusing the core of one's soul in it, and because each person's soul is different, each Zanpakuto is unique.
Toshiro's qualifications are very good, and he awakened the Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru not long after he was admitted to the Shino Academy.
For this matter, Sojiro has always been deeply envious and he also longed to awaken his own Zanpakuto.
However, after he awakened his Zanpakuto, he found that his own Zanpakuto was also Hyōrinmaru.
Two people with same Zanpakuto, this is something he didn't expected.
What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that shortly after this incident, Central 46 forced him to fight Toshiro on the grounds that they were not allowed to have two identical Zanpakuto.
Even though he was unwilling to fight against his friend, under the order of Central 46, Sojiro finally raised his blade first against Toshiro due to his desire of possessing Hyōrinmaru.
The result of the duel was that Sojiro lost.
The point of the duel was not to see who wins or loses the death-fight but to see who raises his blade first against his fellow future shinigami.
The price of losing is that he will be executed, and in order to completely eliminate the influence of the two identical Hyōrinmaru, the Secret Corps executed him on the spot.
After the two identical Hyōrinmaru incident, Toshiro successfully graduated and joined the Tenth Division, but he didn't have any happiness for becoming a shinigami.
…
Near Toshiro's house in Rukongai, on a hillside, Toshiro hugged Hyōrinmaru and sat with a depressed mood.
A figure came there quietly.
Toshiro turned his head sideways and looked towards the new-comer.
"Sensei..."
Toshiro looked at Mazuru who came there and said with a low voice.
On the other side,
Hueco Mundo, in the forest of Menos Grande.
A masked humanoid figure walked slowly, and groups of Gillian were swallowed by it, and finally all turned into a part of its power. It seemed that it felt some kind of attraction and thus for the first time since its birth, it left the forest of Menos Grande voluntarily and went to the inner periphery of Hueco Mundo.
