Kumori Raizen had only just been deemed Captain of the 10th Division when he made the decision to find the Kidou Corps' designated leader. On his way to the Kidoushuu Headquarters, he'd sent a messenger to spread the word around the Seireitei that a Trial by Combat would ensue for control of the corps. With his message sent, Raizen stood before the building that housed the Kidou Corps, waiting for only two things: the appearance of the Kidou Corps Commander, and the arrival of what he knew would be far more than the necessary 200 witnesses from the Kidou Corps and many other Divisions.
The messenger Raizen had sent out, would rather quickly do the duty of spreading about the information that the young supposed Vice-Captain would be attempting a Trial by Combat to take control of the Kidoushuu. With this in mind, it seemed that there started the arrival of many including the Captain of the 2nd Division as she got the news with much speed. Several other lesser and seated Division members would also end up at the venue of choice. And soon enough from the Headquarters of the Kidoushuu would emerge a man dressed in a dark blue high collared haori with two large spikes up the back. He was the leader of the Kidoushuu and had been since the fall of the Kumori Clan. To hear of a challenge wasn't something he expected at all, but as he made his way outside he couldn't help but be stunned by the appearance, of the only remaining Kumori after all this time. Personally, he'd hoped the lad would have been executed, or that upon his actual return to the Seireitei he'd simply fall into obscurity. "Overstepping your bounds a bit aren't ya', boy," he mentioned seemingly amused by the idea that any thought they could challenge him to a trial by combat. This man had sickly blue and thick brows with a head of dusty brown hair, his name was Kimura Yuji.
Raizen stood before the Commander of the Kidou Corps with a gentle grin upon his face, which showed more clearly when he dropped the hood of the haori he now wore. He had personally never seen this particular Kidou specialist before, but that didn't much matter now. "Iie. Like I told the ones you sent for me... I can develop Kidou just fine by myself. I've actually come up with a nifty trick; I'll show you here today," he said. Raizen's senses told him there were more than enough witnesses present at this location for the trial to begin properly, but there was a certain stipulation he wished to make known. "Kimura Soushi! I declare myself the strongest Kidou user in the Soul Society! Wager your organization in a contest of spells against me, Juubantai Taichou, Kumori Raizen!" he exclaimed loudly enough for his voice to carry through the audience.
The two hundred members of the Kidou squad were soon making up a large number of the crowd, but with the messages being sent out, many more than that showed up. The Captain of the 5th Division became curious as well and found herself watching the goings on, as did the Sixth Division's Captain as keeping up with things such as this were necessary for posterity. The Captain of the 12th Division showed up as well standing with her hands on her hip a lollipop in her mouth. "Really, they made him Captain already? Good for him. Oi Beni-chan... you're here right?" she asked knowing that she and the young woman had left at the same time. "Of course, I had to see something like this, want a chair?" she asked the woman which made her nod yes. She then produced two capsules which created high tier chairs side by side, at least a full two meters taller than most of the people gathered around. The Captain of the 12th grinned from ear to ear as she climbed up and had a seat atop a small cushion. "Alright, I was a bit cross with you for being in a bad mood earlier. But this... makes up for it." said the cat woman as she grinned. Benihime herself seemed to take on an extremely relaxed state as several shorter members of division occupied the bottoms of these chairs climbing upwards to gain better views as well, all of which no one seemed to mind. "Joushi, you change your mind too quickly. He was only just made Captain though, I hope you don't regret your decision to get him out of jail," mentioned the Captain Commander who was among those who'd climbed up the high chairs the two short women sat upon. The words of the Captain of the Tenth Division made the crowd gasp. But...
Kimura Yuji seemed to be fine with this. He didn't much care one way or another, there hadn't been a stronger Kidou user than him born in quite a while, and even with this young man here, there would likely be way too much time before he'd be able to properly take this Squadron from him. "Alright, I'll wager the control of the Kidoushuu, a stronger Kidou user than me doesn't exist here." said Kimura, who was also a strong sensor, as such he could say his statement with a certainty. It'd taken everything he had not to scoff at the idea of this young man becoming Captain, and more than that not to laugh at the assertion that he could take this from him. "After you..."
"Well, you're technically right. There isn't a stronger Kidou user than you there. Over here is a different story," Raizen said cheekily. He'd been offered the first attack; something he considered to be a mistake on the other man's part. "I'll even crush you without moving from here." Suddenly, Raizen's Reiatsu unleashed itself in massive quantities, which made it easy to believe he'd been a Captain for far longer than his present lifespan. While showcasing his power in this simple way, Raizen held his right hand toward Yuji. "If you think yourself a greater Kidou master than myself, I'll humor you. I'm going to put on a show for these people. You cannot defend against any of my higher spells, so I'll tell you what I am going to do, and you can try to do something about it. I'm going to use the third Secret Hadou spell without moving from where I stand now."
