Chapter 619: Nayeon: Do You Think I'm an Easy Target?
Seireitei, 5th Division Barracks Training Ground.
The three hundred or so Shinigami who were previously standing around casually suddenly turned serious upon hearing Nayeon's words in the Night Skysong Tower. They all looked at Nayeon, who stood before them.
Night God Nayeon, this name was not unfamiliar to most Shinigami in Seireitei.
After all, although she was officially the Third Seat of the 13th Division, her various rumors and achievements had far surpassed her position.
Of course, for most of the lower-ranked Shinigami, they often heard about Nayeon during their leisure time, but most of them treated these rumors as mere entertainment.
After all, a Third Seat uncovering a captain's betrayal, defeating several captains, and even fighting the Captain-Commander without losing—to those who didn't know Nayeon, it all sounded like tales from the Arabian Nights.
They would rather believe these were exaggerated tales than accept them as facts.
However, when they heard that Night God Nayeon had been appointed as the captain of the 5th Division, these previously skeptical lower-ranked Shinigami had to start believing that the rumors they had heard might actually be true.
The reason was simple: rumors could be false, but the Captain-Commander and the other captains wouldn't joke about the Gotei 13 captain positions.
Since the rebellion led by Gin Ichimaru and others, the captain positions of the 3rd, 5th, and 9th Divisions had remained vacant.
With thousands of Shinigami in the Gotei 13, was it really impossible to find replacements for these captains?
If the Captain-Commander hadn't insisted on maintaining high standards, these captain positions wouldn't have remained vacant for so long.
Now, the captain position of the 5th Division had been filled, and by someone they weren't entirely unfamiliar with.
Previously, many Shinigami had considered Nayeon an overhyped hero, but now that she had become a Shinigami captain, it proved that she truly had the skills and abilities to back it up!
Sitting on a specially brought chair and sipping the iced tea that Hikasen To had just made, Nayeon calmly observed the Shinigami returning to the barracks.
"To, how much time is left, and how many people haven't returned yet?"
Hearing Nayeon's question, Hikasen To, standing behind Nayeon like a personal secretary, promptly replied, "Nayeon-niichan, there's less than five minutes left, and there are still over a hundred people who haven't arrived."
After Hikasen To's report, Nayeon straightened her body and addressed the hundreds of extras before her, "New official's three blows, but I'm not some devil.
Those with injuries can have ten more minutes, but if the others don't arrive within the specified time, they'll be removed from the 5th Division's roster."
The 5th Division Shinigami who had already arrived at the barracks secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Nayeon's words. They hadn't expected that Nayeon, who had previously only been trying to scare them, would actually go through with it.
To become a Shinigami in the Gotei 13, one must graduate from the True Central Spirit Academy and even then might not be successfully selected.
Therefore, being a Shinigami in the Gotei 13 was considered a rather prestigious job in the Soul Society.
After thirty minutes, many Shinigami finally arrived late, and among them were those who considered themselves veterans and seat officers, believing that Nayeon wouldn't dare expel them from the 5th Division.
"To, record all the names of those who didn't arrive at the designated time and submit a report. Starting today, they are no longer members of the Fifth Division.
Whether they choose to seek opportunities elsewhere or return to their hometowns is their own business."
It was evident that Captain Nayeon had delivered a harsh blow to the tardy Shinigami of the Fifth Division, who had shown up late with no sense of urgency.
The Seireitei was not particularly large, and for Shinigami of average ability, thirty minutes was more than enough time to travel from any corner of the Seireitei to the Fifth Division.
Captain Nayeon could almost read the thoughts of these latecomers.
As a newly appointed Captain who had skipped the Vice-Captain rank and risen directly from the Third Seat, it was natural that some within the Fifth Division would resent her.
Especially the veterans and Seat Officers, most of them felt this way.
So, on her first day inspecting the Fifth Division, Captain Nayeon wanted to establish her authority, and the Seat Officers and veterans also wanted to intimidate the new Captain.
In their eyes, they believed that the Fifth Division had survived until now largely due to their efforts.
Moreover, since Captain Aizen's betrayal, the Fifth Division's combat strength had noticeably fallen behind other divisions. At this critical juncture, even if they acted arrogantly, the new Captain would likely tolerate them to preserve the division's strength as much as possible.
"Captain Night God, you can't do this! I'm the Seventh Seat of the Fifth Division; I've worked hard for the division all these years."
"Yes, that's right! I've been in the Fifth Division for almost a hundred years. You probably don't even know if the previous Captain has graduated yet.
Many of those who are late are key members of the Fifth Division. If you expel all of us here, the division will collapse. Even the Captain-Commander won't approve of this."
To be honest, the veteran Shinigami of the Fifth Division, who had intended to intimidate the new Captain, never expected her to be so bold.
She was even willing to expel them all over such a minor issue.
Having served in the Fifth Division for many years, their status and positions granted them numerous privileges and followers.
Although they could join other divisions with their experience, they would undoubtedly have to start from scratch, so they were naturally unwilling to leave.
"I already stated that anyone who couldn't make it here within the specified time would be expelled.
Given the size of the Seireitei, if you veterans can't even return to your division within thirty minutes, do you have the audacity to call yourselves the backbone? Furthermore, I'm not here to discuss this with you. As the Captain of the Fifth Division, I'm ordering you to pack your things and get out now!
If you want to complain to the Captain-Commander, be my guest. Honestly, if you can get the old man to remove me from this Captain position, that would be the best.
After all, I never wanted to take on this old bastard of a Captain role in the first place."
Upon hearing Captain Nayeon's resolute words, everyone in the Fifth Division was stunned.
It turned out that their Captain had been forced to take up the position against her will...
