After enduring hard training and passing all the classes provided by the academy. The selected few arrive to the entrance of the academy. Those who passed this test through hard work, sweat and tears should be proud of themselves, that was the thought engraved on Yamamoto's mind at the moment. The graduation was going to take place in front of the academy where many dreams stared and many found their end. The place was not well adorned, it was not set of any kind of festivity but it was indeed covered in the feelings of an old man that saw a new generation pass right in front his eyes. Standing there next to his assistance Yamamoto waits for the few graduates to arrive. The assistant was still holding what was going to become their uniform after becoming real shinigamis and proud members of the Seretei Squad 1.
(Everyone who is graduating and posted his/her story please post your arriving here. Sorry if my role-playing skills are not the best, but believe me I am really rusty...haven't do this in a long long time. )

(Your roleplaying skills are just fine J!NX)
I found myself leading three capable Shinigami and myself into the entrance of the Academy. Together, we had saved Seireitei from a creation designed to wipe out Hollows, and yet none of us had spoken of it. It was doubtful that anyone in Sereitei knew. In a combonation of our skills we overcame the hardest of challenges and surpassed the classes we were to take if we had followed the normal route to be a Shinigami.
I looked up at the old man standing way up in front waiting for the other graduates to arrive.
"Amaya," I turned my head to her, "This is the graduation day. Be proud." I said quietly.

"Hai," I said, "I haven't seen this place in four years, it kinda gives me the creeps coming back here."
I stepped forward, level with my Sensei.

I looked up at the leader of the Shinigami. I had no idea that I would come this far studying and learning behind Kai, he had what I only knew as superior intellect to my self, especially up on the riddle he solved back in Han Tower.
It was at that point that I remembered the monk and I stood quietly, waiting.

Jiyuuishi growled at my side and I gripped the hilt reassuringly. I had met Jiyuuishi in the dark caves back up in the Inori mountains just before I was about to get killed. He saved me from my fate, and helped on the advance of the enemy.
Graduation was something that I was looking forward to ever since I claimed Jiyuuishi, "Boring..." I said mockingly. I wasn't actually bored, I was just very nervous especially with my strengthened Reiatsu from Han tower.

Okuni had just entered through the doors with a sigle flash step. The only thing now was to wait for Bukotsu and Shiraku. Standing ready to accept her robes, she was rather nervous if Bukotsu was the type of person to miss out on his graduation. According to her, based on past mistakes, Bukotsu missed out on his family inaugaration, and inheritance ceremonies.
"Bukotsu, where are you?" She spoke to herself as she stood around waiting.

Rednal yawned as he entered the ceremonial area, his sword strapped to his back for ease of carrying. He had never been much of a team player. His blade, his precious blade, was the only partner he wanted. Rednal was determined to accept aid from no others if at all possible. With that done, he took his spot and would have settled down to wait had he not been ridiculously comptent at staying calm.

Kyuzo Hakutei stood silently by as he watched the proceedings intently; his nearly lifeless demeanor was identical to the one he had shown throughout his time within the Academy. He was that guy you would see in class, ever silent as he absorbed every possible thing there was to learn, and when free time came about, he was either putting in his extra effort or quietly sitting in his room ... it was what one would expect of a minor noble clansman, out to prove his family's worth.

I glanced around quickly. It seemed that three more people were due to graduate, and then I wondered, just what exactly they could do. One in particular stood out.
The girl.
Something was slightly new about her from the last time I had seen her. Shikai. So if more of us had reached Shikai and indeed flash step....then something was bound to happen sooner or later. I looked back at Kenji, knowing just what the pressure in the tower did for us all.

Bukotsu had stopped with the use of his flashstep at the door. Brushing himself of dust and whatnot. Opening the door and walking in, Bukotsu had scoped around for Okuni. Seeing that she seemed very angsty and rather tense.
After spotting her, he crept up behind her and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey what's with the choking collar around your neck?" Bukotsu asked referring to how she seemed a bit nervous.

Turning her head slightly she thought it was someone else, but no other than whom she was waiting for, "Jeez I thought you were going to be late again....and this is speaking from past events," She said standing in her tip-toes to conk him on the head gently.
"And yes, you had me worried about if you were going to actually miss out on your graduation," she spoke as she smiled returning back to standing on her feet as she seemed to be only up to his nose somewhat.

Kyuzo's eyes scanned the area, making note of the people around him. Their faces were familiar, from the Academy days, but their names and the things about them were unknown; he had never been a sociable person. It's difficult to know where I stand among these people when I know nothing about them ... their Kido spells, Shikai, even their fighting styles are all mysteries.

Yamamoto clears his throat as a signal to call the attention of the young shinigamis. Like always he was helping himself with his old wooden cane and his eyes seemed to be completely closed. At first sight he was nothing more than a simple old man with a huge beard. But what power did this ol'man had, it was still a mystery. (Or at least it is for those that haven't watch the anime or read the manga.) Once he got the attention of the young shinigami he once again spoke. "You are the first generation of shinigamis that have graduated my academy and of that I am truly proud, the fact that you are standing there means that you have proven that you can be entrusted with the fates of many souls around the mortal glove, but remember if you are entrusted is because you can be trusted." Taking just one more step forward the man says: "From the day you put on these robes, you are no longer simple souls, nobles or peasants, from that day on you are equals, never live by your rank, your power or just status live only by your duty and the dreams you have in your heart. Follow these words and you shall find the path to justice, find the path of justice and you shall be invincible like a dragon rising to the sky !" After speaking his warm words the old man steps a side and his assistance comes forward holding everyone shinigami cloths.
The assistance Bows to Yamamoto and then simply speaks to the young. "You might now come forward and pick your shinigami cloths, however remember there is no greater joy than the joy of duty." The man stands there and waits, he was indeed proud of seeing how many have passed the academy and how many future prospect he could see in front of him.

Kyuzo wasted no time in stepping forward to claim his black hakama, kimono, and white obi; it was what he had been striving for all these years. As formally as he could, he accepted the items and stepped back out of the way, staring down at them with a sense of pride. It's seems like almost an eternity I have been working to obtain these ... to finally have them in my possession seems beyond words; beyond imagination.

I glanced at my Sensei shyly, and since no one else stepped forward, at least not at the moment. Deciding to take my fate into my own hands, finally as a Shinigami rather than a Resistance Member, I stepped forward to claim my Shinigami uniform. Yamachou buzzed with delight and I too her from her sheath and laid her on my selected uniform, to which Yamachou shone with happiness, as much as I myself felt.
I took the kimono, bowed and stepped backwards.
