Wind rolled lazily over the tiled rooftops of Squad 8. The sky was dull grey, heavy with stillness. Mohit sat on the edge, blindfold on, arms folded, sipping cold tea from a chipped clay cup.
He didn't move much. Just sat there, silent, like a statue waiting for something to crawl out of the shadows.Tch.
He clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "So… the time's close, huh? Aizen. Guess what should I do with him should kill him nhaa that would make the story boring or I can join him but I think he will betraye me first chance he gets
He tilted his head, sensing something in the distance. Just routine patrols. Nothing unusual.
I think I cannot do much here until the cannon story being beside anime and manga provide very little information about aizen and how he created the evolution thing man I forgot the name after some thinking mohit said who cares
Later That Day — Inside Squad 8 Barracks
A loud thunk echoed through the room as Shunsui dropped a thick file onto the low table.
"Fresh meat," he said, waving the folder. "New students from the academy. Graduating next cycle. Time to start scouting."
Mohit was leaning against the wall with a bottle of sake next to him—half full and already sweating from the heat. He didn't move.
Shunsui flopped onto the floor cushions, kicking his sandals off."Here," he said, cracking open the file. "I like the glasses girl—Lisa. She's got that sharp look in her eyes, like she's already annoyed at me and I haven't even said anything yet."
Mohit grabbed the file and flipped through. "Lisa Yadōmaru. Fast hands. Good under pressure. Uses her temper to stay focused."
Shunsui grinned. "That's my type."
Mohit didn't respond.his thoughts so this is how she came to squad 8
He kept flipping.
"...Nanao Ise," Mohit said after a pause. "Silent. Calculating. Her sword scores are average but her analysis work? Top class. She even corrected the instructors a few times."
"Already smarter than me," Shunsui muttered. "But she'll need to loosen up. No fun training someone who acts like your parole officer."
Mohit smirked. "She' did not loosen up when she was here under your special permission hey captain the only think I hope for is she left her notbook habit shunsui laugh hearing mohit
Then mohit stopped.His finger tapped once on a name."Sōsuke Aizen.""Ah. That one," Shunsui said, raising an eyebrow. "Calm eyes. Too clean. Makes me nervous."
Mohit read the report out loud: "'Kidō specialist. Strong mental stability. Leadership potential. Highly analytical. Keeps emotional distance from peers.'"
He closed the file.
"Sounds like the kind of person who watches a building burn and writes down notes about wind direction."Shunsui chuckled. "And you want to recruit that?"
Mohit shrugged. "I didn't say I wanted to.bjt why not
"Noo" Shunsui said, pouring sake. "I can barely handle one of you. What if he turns out worse? You go around sewing eyes shut and saying 'it was necessary,' and he might start peeling skin just to understand pain."
"Captain," Mohit said, voice flat, "I sewed my eyes shut to train my detection. It wasn't for fun.""I know," Shunsui said, smiling. "But that didn't make it less weird."
They sat in silence for a bit. Wind brushed through the paper doors. Somewhere outside, two squad members were sparring, wooden swords clacking.
Then Shunsui leaned forward.
"Still… something tells me Aizen's going to climb the ranks real fast."
Mohit nodded once. "Yeah. But not here."
Shunsui raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
Mohit stood up, grabbing the empty sake cup.
"Because I know what it looks like when someone's waiting for a bigger stage."Outside, Later That Night — Squad 8 GardenUnder the dim lantern light, Mohit stood with arms crossed, watching Nanao and Lisa train with a few others. He didn't say anything—just listened. Studied their posture. Their rhythm.
Shunsui walked up next to him, sake bottle in hand.Well?"
Mohit nodded toward Nanao. "She's got the mind. Lisa's got the fire.""And the others?"
"Forgettable."Shunsui stretched. "So, who do we pick?"
Mohit answered without hesitation. "Both. We'll keep Lisa on active field detail. Nanao stays with you."
Shunsui raised an eyebrow. "You're pushing her on me?"
Mohit smirked. "You'll need someone to keep your ass from falling asleep in meetings."
Shunsui laughed loud enough to startle a bird out of a nearby tree.
And I know this asking my openion is just a act you had them in mind even if I'd say no you come with some different reason why should be they in squad 8 said mohit
"Damn. You're right."with a smirk said shunsui
They both stood silently under the tree as wind blew past them again, bringing with it the faint scent of plum blossoms.
Mohit said under his breath, just low enough for only Shunsui to hear this is going to be interesting Shunsui took a drink and didn't argue.
Graduation Day.
All the captains had gathered, just like every year. The first to arrive was Yoruichi, with her lieutenant Soifon walking quietly beside her. Then came Rose, followed by Unohana, Shinji, and Ginrei Kuchiki, accompanied by his young lieutenant Byakuya. Love showed up not long after, then Shunsui with his blindfolded lieutenant Mohit. Kensei Muguruma, Hikifune, and finally Ukitake rounded out the group.
They all stood in front of a large screen that displayed live footage of the final graduation tests for the new students.
"I like that short blonde girl," Hikifune said, laughing as she pointed to the screen. "She's got fire in her eyes—like a firecracker!"
"Sarugaki Hiyori," Sakazuki said, folding his arms.
"What's her report say?" Shinji asked curiously.
Sakazuki read from the tablet in his hand:
> Zanpakutō: Kubikiri Orochi
Shikai Command: Chop Cleanly (Kudakero), Kubikiri Orochi
Shikai Appearance: A large cleaver-like blade with a jagged, serrated edge.
Abilities:
– Extremely powerful and destructive slashes.
– High physical force behind attacks, matching her aggressive fighting style.
– Specializes in short-to-mid range combat.
> Hakuda (Hand-to-Hand Combat):
– Highly skilled. She integrates sword strikes with brutal punches and kicks.
– Her style is wild, unpredictable, and hard to counter.
> Shunpo (Flash Step):
– Proficient, though not elite.
– She relies more on raw aggression than finesse, but still moves fast enough for surprise strikes and dodges.
Sakazuki gave a nod. "A real brawler."
Shinji grinned. "Man, I remember when me, Mohit, Arthur, Love, and Rose were in the Academy… we were nowhere near that level."
"What are you teaching them these days, Sakazuki-sensei?" he added, half-joking.
Sakazuki smirked. "The curriculum's the same as when you were there, Hirako-taichō. But there's one thing I personally make sure they learn—"
He turned, briefly glancing at Mohit, whose eyes were hidden behind a clean black blindfold.
"—never take rash decisions. Especially ones that cost you your vision."
A quiet tension hung in the air for a second, but Mohit stood straight, silent, bearing it like a scar he'd already accepted.
"Now," Sakazuki said, stepping forward, "polish them. Refine them. And most of all, correct their mistakes before they become permanent."Well, your old sensei still seems pretty angry at you," Shunsui said to Mohit, chuckling.
Mohit didn't flinch. "That's in the past, Taichō. His anger no longer concerns me."
Shunsui smiled, brushing it off with a wave. "Fair enough. Anyway, Sakazuki-san, I'd like to hear the report on that girl—Lisa, was it?"
Sakazuki nodded and pulled up another file.
> Shinigami Abilities — Lisa Yadōmaru
Zanpakutō: Haguro Tonbo (鉄黒蜻蛉 – Iron Black Dragonfly)
Shikai Command: Crush (Oshiotsuke)
Shikai Appearance: A long-handled halberd or axe with a sleek, black-metal finish.
Abilities:
– Wide, sweeping attacks suited for crowd control and mid-range duels.
– Wields heavy weaponry with grace and surgical precision.
– Her combat style is composed and fluid, in contrast to her blunt, no-nonsense demeanor.
> Kido Proficiency:
– Competent in Kido, but prefers direct, physical engagement.
> Shunpo:
– Agile and efficient. She moves with deliberate purpose rather than sheer speed.
As the report finished, Yoruichi glanced sideways at Shunsui and smirked. "You've got an eye for beauty, don't you, lazybones?"
Shunsui laughed. "Don't get jealous now, Yoruichi-san. You're still the most beautiful of them all."
Yoruichi rolled her eyes but cracked a grin. "Flattery doesn't work when it's that obvious."
Meanwhile, Kensei Muguruma stepped forward, arms crossed. "That one—Mashiro Kuna. She caught my eye."
He tapped her profile open on the screen.
> Mashiro Kuna – Report Summary
– Exceptionally fast and agile.
– Her strikes are clean, precise, and deceptively powerful.
– Ranked second in her class overall.
– Proficient in Kido, using it to supplement her rapid, unpredictable movement in combat.
"She's got raw energy," Kensei added. "But it's controlled. I like that."
The captains nodded, some murmuring their own thoughts as the footage of the final tests continued to play out.
