Chapter 143: Interest In Quincy
Mazuru continued the intense special training for Toshiro.
Toshiro also fought against a captain-level shinigami for the first time. He thought he could become a captain just because he had achieved Bankai, but after fighting against his teacher, he found that that was not the case. Apart from the ability of Zanpakuto, in terms of skills such as Zanjutsu, Shunpo, Kidō, Hakuda, he got beaten unilaterally by Mazuru without gaining the slightest advantage.
This frustrated Toshiro for a while, but soon, he felt a surge of motivation as he also started to feel his progress.
After Isshin disappeared and the position of captain of the Tenth division had been vacant for a long time. So, after Toshiro felt that his training was almost done and his current strength was enough, he resolutely participated in the captain assessment, and then successfully passed the assessment and became the new captain of the Tenth Division.
He was also the youngest captain among the entire Gotei 13.
The youngest does not only refer to the present, but even going back thousands of years, there was no captain younger than him.
...
In the captain's room of the Fifth Division.
Mazuru was drinking tea with Aizen. They came back together from the First Division after witnessing Toshiro becoming the captain of the Tenth Division.
Of course, the main reason was Aizen's invitation. Aizen held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said softly, "I thought that Gin was already a rare talent, but I didn't expect that Captain Hitsugaya's talent is much stronger than Gin. As expected of the holder of the strongest Zanpakuto of the Ice Element."
"He became a captain at such a young age. If given time and let him grow up, I think he will be as strong as the head-captain."
