After the short episode with Rukia, three days went past.
Renji clearly became a little more withdrawn, but at the same time, far more motivated.
It seemed that no matter the world, love could make men work far more harder.
Meanwhile, after Gojo made a full report about the situation and also mentioned the two silhouettes, the professors judged that it should be two powerful Menos.
Of course, Gojo wasn't stupid enough to mention his suspicions about those two being Shinigami.
As one of the higher-ups in the Jujutsu world, Gojo knew that people standing at the top had the bad habit of immediately executing anyone who could disturb their orders.
As he was now, Gojo wasn't powerful enough and he didn't wish to poke the hornet's nest and enter some deep whirlpools of plots and machinations.
For all he knew, the culprits could be captains or some nobles at the same level.
Toshiro had already left the healing quarters and was told to recuperate at school for about a week.
What's more, since it was known that he had already reached the level of Shikai, some divisions had already begun to send him invitations.
Right now, all he needed was to reach Practitioner rank in Kido and he could graduate.
With his learning speed, Gojo knew that it wouldn't take long for Toshiro to do so.
As of now though, the one about to graduate was none other than Gojo.
He had already learned everything he wished to learn from the academy and staying longer was just a waste of time.
He could feel the smell of conspiracy in the air. As such, while he was already comparable to a vice-captain, it simply wasn't enough.
The problem though was that he was hesitant about which division he should join.
He was mainly hesitating between the 2nd division who had the secret force, the 4th division with the healing squad and finally the 12th division with the research center.
Initially, the 12th division wasn't one of his goals and he had pretty much decided for the 4th division.
But, after understanding that the secret of getting back Limitless could be in studying the Dangai, he began to waver.
After all, the reason he wanted to learn healing Kido was to obtain the ability to keep Limitless constantly activated.
'Well, it's decided.'
---
The graduation exam wasn't just a practical one, but also a theoretical one.
The written exam was about things like general knowledge, History, law and so on.
It was a pretty complex exam usually, and with Gojo not really being the favorite student, the difficulty increased.
Still, at the end of the day, it didn't change anything for him. He was already prepared and could have taken this test with his eyes closed.
Once this was done, it was the turn of the Zankensoki.
One simply needed to reach the threshold and pass. The only difference was that the test would change depending on which division you wished to join.
There, Gojo made his choice and announced the 4th division.
If he had to be honest, the 12th division really appealed to him, but he knew that there was no way he would be assigned the right for his own research as a newbie.
What's more, he didn't wish for people to learn about his research.
After all, research on space-time technique was banned in the soul society and the punishment was death.
Because of this, the 12th division was under heavy scrutiny by all the higher-ups.
Once the choice of the division was made, they explained that now that his grades in zanjutsu, Hoho and Hakuda would be less important, while the one in Kido, more precisely bakudo would be more important.
What's more, he would have to take a second written test about Biology and Anatomy.
If the written exams had been a walk in the park, then the practical one was just a piece of cake.
Even though he didn't awaken his Shikai, he easily beat the examiner thanks to his speed and skills.
The same happened with the Hakuda examiner, and this time, he didn't even have to use Black Flash.
During the Hoho test, which consisted of an obstacle course, he broke a new record.
For the kido test, he blew the mind of the examiners away when he used a bunch of Kido in the #50 without any problems.
Finally, he only used 30 minutes out of the 3 hours allocated for biology and anatomy.
Even without waiting for the results, Gojo already knew that he had succeeded.
Smiling, he waved his hand at the instructors as he left the scene.
And as he thought, after the examiner reviewed his results, they were dismayed to find that there was nothing they could do.
On that day, Gojo beat all the records established in the school as he graduated with perfect marks just one month after entering the academy.
Everyone, be it the students, the teachers, or even the official shinigami who heard the news couldn't help but wonder how such a monster came to be.
On that day...G ojo finally got rid of his status as a student.
(AN this is the second last chapter of this volume. Next one is epilogue 2. Then vol 3.)
On that day...G ojo finally got rid of his status as a student.
Well hello there mr ojo from the family of G... are you related to the D’s from one piece?
All things considered dodged a bullet there with not mentioning Aizen (not that he would know his name) and we are off to the 4’th division... have a feeling the captain will take an interest in him and possibly will ask to help her reawaken Zaraki...
Gojo will probably be shoketh (not really but maybe suprised?) that such a monster is the leader of the healing squad... and not joining the ranks of that freak researcher is yet another bullet dodged so many hidden danger in this political chesspoll...
TYFC have a nice day .......
"political chesspoll" did you perhaps mean political cesspool? Otherwise you have me utterly bewildered as to first, why there would be a poll on chess, or why you would make it political
On that day... Gojo earned the title, Jogoat
I agree with him avoiding joining the 12th squad. There would be too many eyes on him for his research into his limitless move and to re create the cursed magic in soul society. Also, if he did re create cursed magic what would stop the 12th division from claiming the research as their own and it belonging to them? If he does plan on creating his own school/faction of magic I would think he wouldn't want to join a squad with a specialty already in place.
I am curious though on what he wants to create. Does he want a school, faction, or maybe a clan? Since he was from a powerful family clan perhaps he would want to recreate that. Would also give an excuse for a harem if he wants to jump start the process.
Anyway if I was him I would either get more friendly with Soi fon or get to a position of power that would allow him to go to the human world without being followed. He should check out the western version of Soul Society to see what their magic is like and perhaps go to the human world and see what their version of Quincies are.
Anyway best of luck.
Edit/addition
Now that I am thinking of it I guess there really isn't a reason as to why he can't just join the 4th to learn healing and then leave. I am not familiar with any rulers stating someone has a time period before they can switch or anything like that.
Yeah. Aside from captain most people switch between division regularly. Though it's mainly in case for promotion.
For example Renji was member in 5th division with Aizen or was it 6th? Anyway he was with Aizen. Then switched to 11th division. Then went to Byakuya division.
