The day was bright and it was once more another year in training in Shinigami School. The damn tests were the only thing that kept him. It was always like two or three questions that threw him off. Of course they were on Shinigami history. Twas the final day, and this was his 69th test indeed. Flying through all of the questions, he turned it in and walked out, leaving the rest of the students gawking at how he finished so quickly. The field test was a breeze, he had already started taking lead of field teams. The Kidou test was a another lost chapter in his book.
Having to go on today's field test with a few friends and some new to the training. It was hollow attack preperation. Of course it was only supposed to be a simulation, though real hollows began to break through. They had already taken out mission control towers. Requesting back up, having to unsheath his Zanpakuto and defend himself, blocking his left hand, his body was left open as the Hollow struck Shuuhei's face. Blood began to pour from where the claws struck him. A raise of his Zanpakuto and he struck the top turned his torso, and thrust his weight down, and the sword sliced cleanly through the mask of the hollow. It fell and then shattered. Shuuhei had destroyed his very first hollow.
Falling quickly due to the trauma of being struck, he panted for a reassurance that he was fine. Quickly came in the re-enforcements and he was taken back to Seireitei. Being treated by the medical shinigami he slowly moved. Soon after being healed he was told that he was finnally moved to the ninth division of the Gotei 13. Eyes closed as he gently leaned back, and smiled. 69th test got him through, this was definately something to celebrate about.
Having realized 69 closely resembled the yin and yang sign he decided it was a number he would stick with. Having it tattoo'd on his left cheek, to matchi the scars that had formed on his right cheek, from the hollow wound. Also, in congradulations he was given a jeweled choker and armband for finnally making it into the Gotei 13.
