Chapter 198 197: Vice Captain of the Fifth Division

Two months passed in a flash.

Today, in the 5th Division's dormitory, in the vice-captain's office.

Ichimaru Gin sat on a chair, sorting out the documents in front of him without looking up.

"Then, let's treat it as the last test."

"Don't be too nervous. After all, even if you don't pass, the result this time won't change at all."

Even with this kind of comfort.

At this moment, Hinamori Momo still inevitably tensed up.

With her lips tightly pursed, the petite woman showed a serious and careful expression.

"I... I'll do my best!"

Ichimaru Gin sighed vaguely.

"Don't be too nervous... Forget it, you won't listen anyway."

Classify and file the documents.

Collect them all with clips and fix them with steel needles.

Snap!

A document that has been sorted was thrown into the counter next to it.

"As a vice-captain, what knowledge and skills do you need to master?"

"Calm but graceful judgment, and... and the heart that needs to be able to understand the captain's difficulties at any time."

Ichimaru Gin paused imperceptibly.

"Captain Arima may be very happy to hear these things, but I am different."

As if she realized her mistake in speaking, Hinamori Momo gently said "ah".

"No, sorry!"

"You don't have to apologize so exaggeratedly, just relax, little girl."

Leaning back slightly.

Ichimaru Gin seemed to have finished the work at hand and let out a long sigh at this moment.

"Two months have passed. Among the few people who came here at the beginning, only you have stayed until now..."

Hearing this, Hinamori Momo's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

She quickly stood up and waved her hands in a panic.

"Ah...this, this, it's not like that!"

In contrast, Ichimaru Gin just smiled calmly.

"Of course, I can fully understand the difficulties of the other two."

"Abarai Renji is obsessed with joining the Sixth Division. Although he never said it openly, you can tell from his absent-minded look."

"Even the captain was alarmed by this matter..."

"Afterwards, he went to find Captain Kuchiki and successfully established a connection."

"But... Although that's what he said. If I didn't have some skills, I would definitely not be chosen by the noble captain."

"Kira Izuru also has the intention to join the Fifth Division."

"But that guy doesn't seem to want to compete with you, so he has been hesitant."

"The captain of the Third Division came to invite me personally, and now he seems to be living very happily there."

It's really touching.

Originally, they were three highly anticipated classmates.

But in the end, it seems that I have lost the right to choose?

After all, the only one left now is Hinamori Momo.

After hearing this, the girl's expression naturally became more tangled.

She raised her eyes with some trepidation, and carefully "peeked" at Ichimaru Gin's expression.

"Um... are you worried about my lack of ability?"

Such an unconfident statement was ultimately due to Momo Hinamori's lack of trust in herself.

After all, the intensity of the training in the past two months was definitely not a joke.

Renji had been transferred to the Sixth Division a month ago, and he got his wish to learn about Rukia.

Kira Izuru was taken away by the captain of the Third Division half a month ago, and now he is the only one left.

Rather than saying "persevered".

Momo Hinamori now feels more like "being picked out".

This feeling is really unsettling.

In the face of Momo Hinamori's trepidation, Ichimaru Gin was silent for a long time.

If it were normal, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, who was used to being sarcastic, would never be stingy with his "aggression" at this time.

However, at this moment, Ichimaru Gin just chuckled.

Said in a calm tone.

"Do you think so? Well, it's not that surprising."

"After all, from the facts, you are indeed the most mediocre one."

"You don't have the drive of Abarai, nor the sharp senses of Kira Izuru."

"Comparatively, your characteristics seem to be completely insignificant compared to the other two, and you can't even put it on the stage."

The more Ichimaru Gin said.

The deeper Hinamori Momo's head buried.

Shame.

Apart from this, there is no other emotion now.

Unable to respond to the expectations of others, just after realizing this, Hinamori Momo felt that her breathing became tight.

But.

Ichimaru Gin didn't just want to attack unilaterally this time.

His tone suddenly changed at this moment.

"But this doesn't mean that you are useless."

Ichimaru Gin slightly opened his eyes, and his young blue pupils focused on the girl, and at this moment, the outline of "emotion" emerged.

"Let me be clear, I don't think those two are that great."

"Not being able to stick to my training is a manifestation of impatience."

"And in my opinion... the so-called resilience is the most important quality."

Don't give up when faced with difficulties.

Even if your hands and feet are broken and your emotions collapse.

You must still firmly believe in yourself and make the final resistance.

"Technology can be trained, and courage can be cultivated."

"In my opinion, those are things that can be deliberately trained after birth."

After a pause, Ichimaru Gin said softly.

"Do you know why I would conduct such a selection?"

"No... I don't know..."

The expected answer.

It is also the response that Ichimaru Gin has been waiting for for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that he can bring out his core concept.

"The responsibility of our fifth team is to provide support."

"Hinamori Momo, this means that the field we are going to is likely to be a range that we have never touched before."

"Fear and retreat are also normal reactions, but for the vice-captain, this is an absolutely intolerable character."

Therefore,

"I won't ask you to do anything, because it's meaningless. There's no end to learning, I just think..."

"You must understand the importance of perseverance."

"Don't be afraid, because you are the vice-captain of the fifth division."

At the same time.

"Arima Shizuka will always stand behind you."

Having said this.

Ichimaru Gin stood up.

He calmly took off the armband on his shoulder, walked around from behind the desk, and stood in front of Hinamori Momo.

"I recognize your quality and character, Hinamori Momo... You are the most suitable candidate for the vice-captain of the fifth division."

An unexpected expression appeared on Hinamori Momo's face.

This made the parties feel a little helpless.

After all, when they came here today, they didn't get vaccinated in advance, and even during the communication process, they only said something like "I want to explain something privately."

Can the handover ceremony of the vice-captain be carried out privately? !

As if understanding the other party's embarrassment, Ichimaru Gin smiled.

"Don't be too nervous. As I said before, it's just a simple exchange meeting. There's no need to be so nervous."

"After all, in reality, whether to appoint a vice-captain or not is all up to the captain's own will, and it is completely possible to bypass the superiors."

Therefore.

"Take it, Hinamori Momo."

From now on.

"You are the vice-captain of the 5th Division."
