Chapter 367: Toshiro Believes He's Ready!
Chapter 367: Toshiro Believes He's Ready!
With the words of Captain Kyo Rakuga, all the captains present turned their attention to Yecheng.
Just now, Harukido had also mentioned that compared to "the captains present," the one he wanted to find for the examination was not a captain-level Shinigami.
"Captain Rakuga, even if you want to shirk responsibility, this is going to cause unnecessary chaos."
Yuki Tosen, who had been silent until now, heard Captain Rakuga's intention to recommend Yecheng, a Third Seat, as a scapegoat, and immediately spoke with a mocking tone.
Tosen was familiar with Yecheng's name and knew that Gin Ichimaru held him in high regard.
But it was precisely because of this that Tosen deliberately made things difficult at this moment. In his opinion, a mere Third Seat had no ability worthy of Gin's special attention.
"This is indeed a good proposal, I agree! Although he's just a Third Seat, he's much stronger than some of those incompetent captains."
Surprisingly, when Harukido suggested Yecheng as the examination opponent, the first person to agree was none other than Kenp Kenpachi Zaraki, who was known for his unyielding nature.
"Kenpachi, what do you mean by that?!"
Upon hearing Kenpachi's veiled insult, Tosen's anger surged.
Although he didn't directly mention names, Kenpachi's words clearly implied that he was a third-rate captain, and his strength was inferior to Yecheng, a mere Third Seat.
"That's the literal meaning. If you have any objections to what I said, feel free to challenge me."
Faced with Tosen's anger, Kenpachi didn't care at all; he even licked his lips excitedly.
"I also agree to let Yecheng, the Third Seat, be the examination opponent for the Third Seat of Nijigaya."
Tosen, who was angry and about to confront Kenpachi, suddenly calmed down when Gin spoke up.
There was no choice; Tosen had intended to mock Yecheng, but his superior had already expressed his agreement. If he were to oppose him now, he might face repercussions later.
Despite his extreme displeasure, Tosen dared not refuse again at this moment and could only mock Kenpachi: "You're nothing but a muscle-brained beast!"
As Yecheng was to be Winterlion's examination opponent, Gin was naturally delighted.
From the beginning, Gin had always been interested in Yecheng, but Yecheng seemed to be on guard against him and had been deliberately hiding himself.
If he could take this opportunity to observe Yecheng's abilities during the captain examination, it would be a great thing.
"I also acknowledge Yecheng's strength as a Third Seat," said Byakuya, who had a good relationship with Yecheng, and now had no reason to object.
In fact, Byakuya had already heard from his wife and sister-in-law that Yecheng was very strong, and it was a waste of his talent to be just a Third Seat.
Byakuya was already considering that if Yecheng performed well in the examination, he would recommend him as the vice-captain of their division.
"I have no objections either. Yecheng's strength as a Third Seat is more than sufficient for the captain examination," said Momonga, still smiling.
Seeing that most of the captains present had agreed to the proposal, the captain-commander narrowed his eyes and looked at Yecheng, saying, "It is said that Yecheng's quick mastery of Bankai is largely due to his special training."
If that's the case, then the Third Seat of Night City is indeed the perfect candidate to test the results and strength of the Third Seat of Nijigaya."
Upon hearing that Night City would be the examination opponent, many of the captains present nodded in satisfaction with the decision, and Luan Ju was especially thrilled, never expecting such an outcome.
If Night City's captain examination opponent were someone else, there might still be a chance of failure. But if it's Night City, then Winterlion becoming a captain is almost a certainty.
As everyone knows, her relationship with Night City is so close that they're practically wearing the same pants. This is practically an inside job, and they can totally play the game of favoritism.
Is it decided then? Did you even ask for my opinion?
Night City, who was originally planning to sneak away, froze in his spot upon hearing the Captain-Commander's decision. Looking at the gazes of everyone present, he couldn't help but sigh in resignation.
Alright, he's just a Third Seat with no real authority. Anyone picked here would have a higher position than him.
"Night City, this time I won't lose to you!"
With the decision made, both Night City and Winterlion had no choice but to accept.
Winterlion didn't feel belittled by the fact that Night City was only a Third Seat. After all, for the past half a year, he had been thoroughly beaten by Night City.
Having Night City as his captain examination opponent was something Winterlion had long desired. This was his chance to avenge the humiliation of the past six months!
Ever since mastering Bankai, Night City, who had helped him with special training, hadn't returned to the Tenth Division.
This left Winterlion, who had just mastered Bankai and wanted to avenge his past failures, feeling quite dejected.
Furthermore, Winterlion secretly believed that Night City was aware of his Bankai mastery and felt that his strength had surpassed Night City's. He thought Night City was afraid of being outshone, which was why he hadn't dared to come and spar with him again.
Despite being grateful for the special training over the past six months, Winterlion couldn't deny feeling a bit stifled inside.
After all, for more than half a year, Night City had tirelessly found new ways to beat him down every day. And after each beating, Luan Ju would add to his humiliation by claiming he had disappointed her, forcing him to stay up late and complete the division's paperwork.
Who knows how Winterlion endured the past six months, getting beaten during the day and working late into the night on division affairs, leaving him no time for dates with Momo.
Just as he mastered Bankai and was about to regain his confidence, as well as let Night City experience being on the receiving end, Night City stopped coming.
Winterlion had finally become stronger, but Night City had run off, leaving him no chance to return the favor.
Although Winterlion could challenge Night City directly, he was a man of pride despite his young age.
After all, Night City had tirelessly helped him with special training for over half a year, leading to his Bankai mastery. It would seem rather ungrateful for Winterlion to seek revenge immediately after mastering Bankai.
This was the reason why Winterlion had no choice but to swallow his bitterness.
However, Winterlion never expected that today's captain examination would take such a turn, ultimately leading to this situation. He never imagined that his chance to avenge past humiliations would come so soon!
