Shin'ō Academy

"I wish I could say I'm kidding," was the reply of the sapphire-eyed male. With the initialization of this chat, he spun 180 degrees while still walking, as to travel alongside the redhead without backing into anyone - or anything - ahead of them. "At this point, we don't actually have to pay any attention at all to these lectures, I think. We're sort of infamous now. I don't know if it's because of us, or because of the two superstar students last year, but the Gotei 13 have already started their recruitment drives. That's what's up. You said you still weren't sure about a division, so I thought maybe you wouldn't mind joining me in checking out all the options."

As Benihime traveled with Daiki he away from her while seamlessly avoiding all coming obstacles as they moved forward. "Hm, it's probably a combination of the two. Two years back to back, really talented people coming through. They'd probably try and draft us if they thought it would get them someone as good as our predecessors~" said the young woman as she walked along. It also seemed that the recruitment drives were up and that Daiki wanted to attend. Even if she hadn't wanted to attend, it would be quite a good idea to go, since true to Daiki's words, she still hadn't decided on a division to try and join. "Of course I wouldn't mind joining you for an afternoon of sorting through potential divisions~ Sounds more fun than most other things at this point~" chimed the young woman, seeming to find a great deal of comfort in this young man's presence as he filled a bit of the emptiness she sometimes felt in her life when she was all alone with her thoughts.

"Sounds reasonable to me," he said as his stride increased. Once Benihime agreed to joining him in attending the recruitment drive, he began moving toward the specific destination. If she hadn't agreed, he was very likely to alter his plans for the day. Though he didn't believe the redhead had gotten over previous traumatic events, there seemed to be some healthy development, and he would continue to be around to help in whatever way he could. "Great! It's right through here," Daiki stated whilst gesturing into an open doorway, into a room where the Gotei 13 had brought emphasis to their divisions via advertisements and the like. "After you~"

"Hai hai~" Benihime said. If there had been no activities suggested for the afternoon she likely would have found herself doing a bit of solo training and trying not to think about the recent trauma she'd experienced. She was actually quite happy to have a friend like Daiki around to give her things to do with her extra time and help her out in such a way. As such she ended up following him to the destination of this recruitment drive, and upon entering she'd see several different areas set up for each of the Divisions of the Gotei. Her eyes widened, as she saw this set up, but she walked in nonetheless. "Hm, so... if I was the scary sort I likely wouldn't walk in~" she said, looking around at various tables where Vice-Captains and seated members of each the divisions seemed to be trying to draw attention to each of their own tables. "So... numerical order? That seems okay~" she said stepping up to the First Division's booth to have a look at their recruitment material.

"Hmph. Good thing you're not," Daiki said with a grin. Once Benihime stepped into the room, he followed closely behind. The young woman had the idea of approaching these tables in numerical order, and with so many options ahead of them, he could only agree. "Yeah. I like the sound of that. Good plan," he replied. With that, he was on his way toward the area set up by the 1st Division. There, he found a brochure to open; this mentioned what sort of members the division sought. "Soldiers that can set an example for every division, huh? That seems a little... uptight."

Benihime stood in front of this and took one of the recruitment brochures, she did this for the sake of appearing polite but was content to whisper to Daiki about her first impressions. "Uptight, doesn't begin to cover it... it also seems like work. But look at the Q & A~" she said with a chuckle drawing attention to the last line about the nature of the Captain-Commander. "Soutaichou is like 5000 or something according to the textbook, I don't know if I'd admit that sorta thing~" she said humorously. "Besides, I am not really an 'example' for most people. It sounds like work monitored by a super parent. Probably not for me~" she said with a bit of a chuckle as she soon enough shuffled towards the next division to see what it was all about.

"I don't know. Soutaichou may be the oldest around, but still respectable. On the other hand, I don't think I'm ready for that sort of pressure just yet." Daiki's analysis of the division led him to believe that he, too, should likely not be seeking refuge in this particular squad. When they reached the next table, marked for the 2nd Division, he had a look at its brochure as well. "Hmm. This one is... umm..." In the Captain's interview of this brochure, Daiki found nothing too appealing. The "words for Shinigami recruits" column stated nothing more than how the division's overall combat prowess was second only to the 11th. If this was their claim to fame, he wasn't at all interested. What's more, the Vice-Captain's interview had no information whatsoever. "Next?"

If Benihime chose to move on, Daiki would do the same immediately. Something the two had likely yet to realize about the next table - the 3rd Division's area - did not exactly have an average seated member sat at it. With his chair leaned back and his legs propped up on the table, this green-eyed male waited. He sported a yellow cape with a raised hood and black markings, emblazoned with his division's insignia. Underneath this, and only somewhat visible, was a Captain's Haori. This man was indeed Yuuki Terumi, Captain of the Gotei 13's 3rd Division.

On her way to the Third Division table Benihime glanced in the direction of it. She saw the man sitting at the table in his cloak with his feet up on the table. "Somehow this feels more my speed," she said as she approached the table. She reached down to take one of the brochures, but after she did she was able to get a closer look at the man at the table. She'd nudge Daiki and look at the white underneath the man's fore cloak. "Is that what I think it is?" she mumbled to the young man at her side.

Following Benihime's nudge, Daiki's attention was drawn to the hooded male as well. His eyes narrowed, then widened, but he would not be given the opportunity to respond as intended. "Very perceptive," he sitting male replied with a wicked grin. "Boku wa Sanbantai Taichou, Yuuki Terumi. Yo-ro-shi-ku~♪" he said. Terumi looked at the brochure held by Benihime, and his grin softened. One would find that, inside these brochures made by the Captain himself, there was nothing but funny little doodles in all of the answer slots. Under "What kind of individuals are you seeking?" there was a quick sketch of a stick figure bonking another over the head with a wooden slab. Under "How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?" there was a copy of the previous image, albeit surrounded by confetti and party balloons. Things changed up slightly as the questions went on, but for the most part, this was all there was to the Captain's interview.

Daiki, after getting over the surprise of there being a Captain present in this room, bowed formally. "Yoroshiku, Yuuki-Taichou!" he said. Even with the ability to recover and give proper greeting, he couldn't stop wondering exactly why an individual of such status would bother being physically present for an early recruitment drive.

Soon enough a compliment was issued on the perceptive nature of the young red haired woman. Beyond this she was then formally introduced to the Captain of the Third Division. But there were dozens of questions rolling through her mind. For instance, 'Why is he here?' and 'Doesn't he have Captain duties?', seemed to be at the forefront of the young woman's mind. But before she could get around to questioning any of these things, or even trying to introduce herself, she opened the brochure and giggled for a second before clapping a hand over her mouth. There were only pictures of random things, and it was kind of funny considering. This happened during Daiki's acceptance of Terumi's introduction, but soon enough the girl recovered. "Hai, yoroshiku, Yuuki-taichou," the young girl finally managed. "So no disrespect intended, but aren't you supposed to be, doing Captain things? And also what's with this brochure?" she asked having a minor chuckle at the thought of it while she waited for an answer.
