Chapter 274 - 274 ⥤ Damn, My Gold Coins Got Snatched1st Division Meeting Room.
The long-awaited Captains' Council finally convened after Akira and the others returned from the Soul King's Palace.
In the spacious chamber, all the Captains maintained their fierce, intimidating presence. Akira fixed his unusually bright and energetic eyes on the old man at the head seat, making him visibly uncomfortable.
"What has this damned brat eaten? Why is he suddenly so energetic?"
Ignoring his spirited disciple, Genryūsai launched into his long-winded speech as the meeting began.
Like a corporate executive's presentation in the living world, it was mostly meaningless drivel devoid of substance.
Akira promptly switched to slacker mode, letting his eyes drift shut.
His senior, Shunsui, fared no better — dark circles heavy under his eyes as his eyelids waged their own battle to stay open.
After enduring this tedious phase, the meeting moved on to work reports from all thirteen Divisions, with the 1st Division scheduled to give the final summary.
"Thanks to our cooperation with Hueco Mundo, Hollow appearances in the living world have decreased by ninety percent, and the Thirteenth Division's casualties have dropped to manageable levels..."
"The Twelfth Division has developed a new messenger device with cross-dimensional video chat functionality, based on Lieutenant Urahara's re
He certainly knew of Kaname — the man had joined under Akira's command solely because this youth had slain the Tsunayashiki remnants, specifically Tokinada Tsunayashiki.
According to the 2nd Division's intelligence, Kaname harbored a deep grudge against that killer.
Akira explained, "Kaname has excellent talent, mastered Shikai long ago, and through diligent training, has now achieved Bankai. Moreover, he handles various internal affairs daily and excels at dealing with unexpected situations. With such experience, he's certain to become a qualified Captain!"
Shunsui took a deep breath, his expression turning wistful.
Compared to his junior disciple, he still had much to learn. While he was still exploiting his Lieutenant, this guy had already begun developing his lower-ranked Officers.
Hearing this, Genryūsai no longer objected.
He had met Kaname, a quiet man. Even if influenced by his wayward disciple, such a person shouldn't become too extreme.
At least, he'd be better than Zaraki, right?
With this thought, he nodded, "In that case, let's tentatively approve Sixth Seat Tōsen. Three days from now, we'll hold a Captain Qualification Test, with Captain Komamura as the examiner."
Sajin's canine mouth spread into a gentle smile, "Yes, Captain-Commander."
Beside him, Kensei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there anything else to report?" Genryūsai's gaze swept around as his voice rose slightly, "If not, then this Captains' Council will—"
"Wait!"
Seeing his wayward disciple raise his right hand in objection, a hint of pleasure flashed in the old man's eyes.
"Teacher, I have one more matter." Akira grinned, "Since the Sixth Division is changing Captains, it wouldn't be fair to show favoritism. Besides, with threats looming, the Gotei 13 could use some fresh blood to face the coming crisis."
The Captains all looked at him with strange expressions.
What was this guy planning now? Was he really planning to replace the Captain-Commander?
After some thought, it didn't seem that unacceptable. In some ways, Genryūsai and Akira were quite similar — as expected of master and disciple.
Most importantly, the Captain-Commander himself seemed unaware of this. After all, his angry shouts at Akira could often be heard from the 1st Division.
Strangely, after hearing these words, Genryūsai chose to remain silent and think.
After a moment, he looked at Akira and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Someone chuckled, "Naturally, we'll follow the rules!"

Three days later.
At the 11th Division's barracks, on the fighting platform.
A man and a wolf faced each other from a distance, both gathering their Reiatsu, heavy spiritual pressure surrounding their bodies.
"Kaname, I won't go easy on you because of your position." Sajin said deeply, "In this battle, please show your true strength. If you don't qualify, I won't let you leave the Eleventh Division."
Kaname smiled slightly and said with confidence, "Don't worry, Sajin. I'm terrifyingly strong now — you should be the one being careful."
Following 11th Division's customs, they exchanged pre-battle trash talk. Yet, being too familiar with each other, such provocation couldn't shake either's composure.
At Chōjirō's signal, the test began.
Without hesitation, Sajin released tremendous Reiatsu. A materialized pillar of light shot skyward, instantly dissipating the surrounding white clouds.

The spectators gasped.
No warm-up — straight to the ultimate move?
A hundred-meter-tall black-armored warrior emanated a terrifying aura, its crimson eyes fixed intently on Kaname below. The mere sight made weaker Shinigami from other divisions feel suffocated.
Could he really handle such a terrifying existence?
Kaname paid no attention to the black-armored warrior, focusing entirely on his opponent.
He had extensive experience dealing with Sajin. However, to meet his Captain's expectations, he would end this battle in the most spectacular way.
He drew his Zanpakutō and chanted softly:
⤫ Bankai: Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Kōrogi ⥤ Final Release: Cricket Final Form: Yama Cricket! ⤬
Hum—
An equally terrifying Reiatsu erupted as a thick layer of purple light expanded outward from Kaname's center.
Since his journey to the Soul King's Palace, he had trained his Bankai to an even more powerful level. Without needing to release a barrier, any living being within his Reiatsu range would be deprived of their five senses.
However, Sajin didn't panic; as close friends, he knew Kaname's Zanpakutō Bankai ability well.
The best way to counter this fearsome ability was — All-angle bombardment!
