Chapter 3: The Broad-Minded Yachiru
Chapter 3: The Broad-Minded Yachiru
Although both Yachiru and Rangiku are broad-minded, Yachiru's chest is even broader. However, the key point is that Yachiru is strong enough. As the former Strongest Sword Eight, she not only has ample strength but can also maintain control of the situation.
Counting the many Shinigami in Soul Society, Yachiru's strength is undoubtedly among the top. The number of people who can bring her down is very few.
The Fourth Division does not have high requirements for the combat abilities of its members, but there is one essential requirement: proficiency in Kido.
Kido is divided into "Hado" for attacking enemies, "Bakudo" for restraining targets, and "Hakudo" for healing injuries.
Compared to Hado and Bakudo, which most Shinigami can use, very few Shinigami master Hakudo. On one hand, Hakudo is quite niche within the Kido system, and on the other hand, there are very few Hakudo spells.
To join the long-desired Fourth Division, Naya Makoto specifically practiced Hakudo while at the Central Spiritual Academy, so he is quite confident about this job application.
"Minami Makoto, a sixth-year student at the Central Spiritual Academy, with above-average grades. Your Zanjutsu and Hakuda skills are average, your Shunpo skills are below average, and your Kido skills are above average.
Given your Kido skills, you do meet our Fourth Division's recruitment standards. Are you sure you want to join our Fourth Division?"
The person in charge of recruiting members for the Fourth Division this time is a tall woman with a generous bust, short silver-gray hair, and a very delicate appearance.
The emphasis on her height is because this Fourth Division member, Isane Kotetsu, standing at 187 cm, can be quite intimidating even to most men.
Of course, in this life, Makoto's looks and height are quite outstanding, so standing in front of Isane, while he can't look down on her cleavage, he is not overwhelmed by her height.
Isane is not yet the Lieutenant of the Fourth Division, and she is likely a new recruit herself, which is why she has been assigned to recruit new members.
At other divisions' recruitment stations, there are several members responsible for recruitment, but the Fourth Division has only Isane standing alone. Clearly, the young lady is either being isolated or targeted by other division members.
It's not uncommon for seasoned veterans to make things difficult for newbies, especially someone like Isane, who has just graduated and appears to be quite timid.
"That's right, I want to join the Fourth Division and become an excellent member of the Healing Division. Is there any kind of assessment or test required?"
Seeing the determined look on Makoto's face and his firm tone, Isane is quite pleased.
As Makoto had guessed, Captain Unohana had assigned Isane and two other members to recruit new members at the Central Spiritual Academy.
However, the two Fourth Division members who came with her used the excuse that Isane had just graduated and was more familiar with the environment of the Central Spiritual Academy to push all the work onto her.
Every year, when the various divisions recruit graduates from the Central Spiritual Academy, the number of those willing to join the Fourth Division is not very high.
Compared to the Eleventh Division, which is a combat division, the Fourth Division, as a healing division, is safer but is often looked down upon.
After all, they became Shinigami to fight Hollows. Spending their days in a group of women as logistics workers is not something they want their friends and family to know about; it would be quite embarrassing.
It's normal for new graduates from the Central Spiritual Academy to be ambitious. These fresh-faced newbies, who haven't yet been tested by reality, believe that with their talents, they can quickly shine in Soul Society, become division captains, earn high salaries, and have secretaries surrounding them.
The number of female Shinigami in the Fourth Division far exceeds that of male members. Male Shinigami who choose to join this division are often mocked by their colleagues.
Therefore, graduates with high aspirations usually opt for divisions like the Eleventh Division, where they can quickly rise to prominence. Even those who consider safety often join the Third Division or the Fifth Division, which are more relaxed.
Moreover, although the Fourth Division is a healing division, it is not entirely free from casualties. Battlefield medics are a highly dangerous occupation.
Despite being protected at the rear of the formation, they are still vulnerable to sneak attacks while they are focused on treating others.
In recent years, the number of new recruits joining the Fourth Division has been decreasing, leading to a shortage of personnel. Therefore, Captain Unohana had emphasized to them that they must recruit at least a few new members this year.
"For now, there's no need for any assessment. As long as your Kido skills and Reiatsu are up to standard, that's enough.
After all, mastering the 'Reversal Path' is not an easy task. Even many of the senior members in the division have yet to master it."
The 'Reversal Path' is a Kido technique used for healing. Its principle is to first restore the internal Reiatsu of the target, combined with the external Reiatsu provided by the practitioner, to achieve the effect of healing wounds and restoring Reiatsu.
Although it is a form of Kido, mastering the 'Reversal Path' is not a simple matter. It requires an extremely precise control of Reiatsu.
Yumichika wasn't sure if other divisions required assessments for recruitment, but for their Fourth Division, having someone willing to join was already a blessing. There was no reason to be picky at the moment.
Furthermore, she had just reviewed Naya Makoto's data. While he might not be an outstanding student, he was more than qualified to join the Fourth Division.
Previously, a few female students had expressed interest in joining their division. Considering Captain Unohana's instructions, Yumichika had lowered the standards slightly but ultimately still rejected those students.
The reason was simple: while their various metrics were good, their Reiatsu and Kido skills did not meet the standards. For the Fourth Division, these were the most critical criteria.
As a member of the Fourth Division, you don't necessarily need to be proficient with a sword, but your Kido skills must be excellent to master the 'Reversal Path.' Your Reiatsu must also be sufficient; otherwise, the patient might not recover before you exhaust yourself. How can one be a qualified logistics worker under such circumstances?
"Yumichika, how is the recruitment going? Will we be able to fill the vacancies in the division this year?"
Just as Naya Makoto was about to take the form from Yumichika and fill out the information to officially join the Fourth Division, a gentle voice sounded from outside their recruitment office. A hand with long, slender fingers then lifted the curtain and appeared before Naya Makoto and Yumichika.
The person who entered was a woman with a gentle and serene demeanor, long black hair parted in the middle, and wearing a white captain's haori with a gray cherry blossom inner lining.
In terms of demeanor, she was as elegant and noble as a Yamato Nadeshko. However, the moment Naya Makoto saw her, his entire body involuntarily trembled.
Even as she appeared before him, Naya Makoto subconsciously gripped the hilt of his Zanpakutou at his waist.
