Akira´s Exam

[Mr. Moon]

Akira #1

Despite his best effort, the elder student didn´t manage to pass his final exam on a first try. Not that he would have such terrible results but he simply wasn´t allowed to participate. Acting like the coward he was Takutora reported the incident between the two of them and the follow up investigation resulted in Akira´s few months long suspension from the Academy which made him miss the final exam.
Well, to be fair, the wannabe shinigami wasn´t that upset about the suspension itself as the fact that the whole incident was noted by the crazy people from 11th Division and highly appreciated to the point when their 3rd Seat made the trip to his house ensuring him that his division will definitely take him in once the formalities with the academy will be finished. And while Akira should be happy about his future being somehow secured the idea of being drafted by these brutes and berserkers wasn´t appealing at all. Not because he would look down on them, but because he was afraid they could bring forth the part of him he was trying so desperately to keep under lock. To avoid this fate he used all the time he could to train the single spell he learned from his former classmates but with limited time and no access to a textbooks he failed miserably.
And so the end of his studies came at last and the brooding student headed to the academy to participate in his final exam. While most nobles were using the services of their underlings to get there, Ryuuko was on foot, lacking the means to pay for any servants or other forms of transport.
He knew he should be happy as becoming a shinigami was connected with stable income that would grow with each promotion but he couldn´t but feel like a convict before his execution.

Fu #1

Today was the day of the make up exam and Fu was one of those lucky enough to have been allowed a second attempt. Their exam had been cancelled after an incident that saw one student die and two more get critically injured. A freaking hollow managed to kill a student and take his Zanpakuto to make the ascension into an Arrancar, this was one of the most dangerous parts in a hollows life cycle as the power fluctuated wildly and in strange ways that made it nearly impossible for anyone under the rank of lieutenant to deal with.

The two who were critically injured jumped into save the partner of the student that died and managed to last for more than a minute in a fight against the thing. Tagachi Shiro, scarily talented swordsman with a monstrous Reiatsu and Saeki Lenalee, daughter of the captain of squad twelve. Fu watched them perform a feat of heroics that had every single squad offer them a position.

The young woman arrived at the designated meeting place for the exam and read the list of names that paired up examinees with each other. The young woman with a short cut of blonde hair read that her partner was to be Akira. Wait that was the older student that had money problems, right? He was not allowed to take the last exam due to other students claiming he had bullied them… that didn’t seem right though as Akira always hung out with Ren, Shiro and Lenalee. They were all students that were atop of the class in one form or another.

The shorter female gripped the handle of her Zanpakuto and looked over to find her assigned partner. He was said to be quite skilled, though his kido was lacking. She herself was not much of a Kido expert she was better with the Savant style of Kido, the use of Reiryoku that came as a natural flow instead of the rigid use of incantations for a more powerful effect. She always combined that with Hakuda and some Zanjutsu to get a desired result.

“Mister Akira! Over here! I’m your partner!” Fu called as she dashed over and bowed. “Mori Fu, your partner for this exam!” The pale blue eyed young soul expressed as she grinned up to the man. She was from a branch family related to the Yoshino’s. Their current head being the captain of squad two.

Akira #2

The not so young academy student walked towards the testing venue, with his Reiatsu tuned down, to make it look maybe even too ordinary for someone who was supposed to become full fledged shinigami soon.

Lost in his own thoughts about the upcoming even, he nearly missed his name being called by someone.

“What?”

Rising his eyes he noticed relatively short woman with blonde hair that was calling him.

Secretly thankful, that she introduced as well, as the wannabe shinigami never had the time or desire to learn his classmate´s names, he changed the course of his walk slightly, stopping few steps in front of her.

“I am sorry partner?”

He asked, his voice distant as if his attention actually wasn´t there, at least not completely. Truth to be told, he didn´t really know what this test will be about as he spent most of his time doing various odd jobs and simply forgot to read the information he was given.

“I thought this will be individual exam.”

He added, regretting these words right afterwards as she could probably take them a bit personaly.

“I mean, no disrespect towards you Mori-san”

He fished her from memory.

“It´s just...what this exam will be about?”

Akira asked, regretting the fact he didn´t read the info after all, as he suddenly realized, that teaming them in pair could be part of the test. Maybe some of the Divisions were putting high focus on teamwork and this might be the way they were testing it? Well if that was the case he probably should make sure that he will be the best team partner in the history of this exam as he would wage the little money he had that these brutes in 11th were all bunch of individualistic animals that were looking down on teamwork.

Trait Name:- Hidden Power

Attribute:- Reiatsu

Trait Description:- Even before starting his training Akira always had great amount of spiritual power that could rival higher-class Shinigami. However he also possess a great talent for controling and masking this power allowing him to mimic someone much weaker than he actually is. Because of that he can be easily underestimated by his opponents and also hide from people who would like to track his reiatsu.

Fu #2

“Oh no.” Fuu exclaimed as she bowed her head down and then raised it with a soft shake for Akira’s comment about this being a solo exam. She had a lot to prove by being in a branch house and this was going to be a place she could do it. She kept her smile as she pulled a leaflet out from her uniform and proffered it towards the taller man.

“We are to be working in pairs whilst under supervision to find and cleanse a dummy hollow in the world of the living.” The young soul explained before turning to the side and looking at the group that was heading to the Senkaimon. With a soft whistle she looked back to her partner, a sense of soft dread looming over her now after realising that her partner hadn’t even read the exams information.

“Mister Akira. How are you Reiatsu Sensing capabilities? Your tracking skills and ability to keep calm under pressure? When we get to the land of the living, we have an hour to find the hollow marker and break it.” Fu carried on, steeling herself as she made to move forward. They had to do this, after the last exam was called off because of the Arrancar incident that wounded Shiro and Lenalee her heart sunk. That cannot happen again.
