Entrance Examination, Time has Come at Last

"This is embarrassing...I forgot to ask Izumi to reserve a room for Terith since she just returned. I guessed she has to share a quarter with someone now."

'What is that sound...?'

The annoying ringing noise rang in his room. It was like the activator to Kilik's brain to get on a rampage and start to break stuff around him. He is barely like that however so that's a really good thing. But, with seriousness, he was wondering where this vibrating noise was coming from. The sound itself was shaking his room's ground like a mad man stomping for being a large drunkard. If the ground was shaking then it's obviously something that's on his ground. He thought of it as he slyly opened his eyelids in a slit and starting to think of what's on the ground not including the large furniture around the room sitting side by side on the wall. Some were leaning against it, some weren't. He made a mental list real quickly;

'So... let's see... I have a wooden sword for Zanjutsu practice... two orbs to practice reiatsu control... and an alarm clock. Eh, nothing to worry about it seems. Probably the neigh--'

After realizing what he just said in his half-awake mind. He sat up immediately with his draped robe on himself. They were sloppy judging by the way he slept in his bed. As he was about to grab the clock to check the time, the ringing stopped. What a miracle, now he can finally go back to bed. He only took a glance at the clock with his eyes in a good slumber with a nod then scooted himself back to sleep under the warm thick blanket he had. Then the second realization came to him; it was time for school. He got up like no other and started to panic as he got dressed, picking up every necessary items for his school. It included his sphere, and the wooden sword all packed in a good-sized pouch large enough but small enough to hang over his waist.

"Shit, shit, shit!

It has been so long that he has ever cussed out loud. He seriously never cussed because he always does his work right and is disciplined to do the best he can do but today, he was out of patience so he decided to cuss out loud as a stress reliever. What do you know, it seems like it is actually helping him as the pained expression slowly faded away from pacing back and forward over his bed then onto the floor. He had thought he was late, and today... there is absolutely no time for grooming. Dammit.

==============================================


After a good amount of time passed, he was outside the Shino Academy. He was really nervous about this and he had never thought to actually see the academy up front this close. He took a short but quick gulp and walked into the academy until he bumped a mysterious man lifting up stacks of objects in his arms that probably shaded his view. At first, Kilik had thought that it would be the general stereotypical bullies that pick on the new kids but this one was different. This guy was definitely stronger than everyone in the academy and possibly around the academy. It wasn't that Kilik already knew how to sense the dangerous reiatsu that this person leaked around with him. It's just the general aura that this man carries; gentle but wild in his own way.

The man made a noise with a small gasp placed on his mouth as the papers, folders, books, some other miscellaneous items almost fell. Kilik hopped up clearly seeing the difference he had between this man and helped him get the balance straightened up. Then he smiled. He had no idea why the hell was he smiling right now but it just came out of that small delicate mouth of his. He even said thank you to him. Wasn't it suppose to be the opposite? Kilik saw the man turn around toward his sideways so that he can see the new male Shino Academy student up close. Kilik immediately felt nervous and started to stammer not knowing what to say. He saw that face from somewhere. He had long natural white hair and his physique was that of an adult man while carrying the aroma of sweets probably carried inside his shihakusho for something. Yeah, a shihakusho! He was probably a shinigami! What a pleasure to meet him! Then the white-haired guy decided to speak.

"Is it normal for a person to say 'thank you' when they just got bumped by me?"

This guy wasn't scared after all! He had that smile that people could just tell he wasn't no ordinary shinigami. Perhaps a captain, maybe?

"Sorry...I was just a bit nervous... it's my first day, actually. And I never really seen an awesome Shinigami like you! I mean, you clearly look a bit different."

He nodded like he was acknowledging himself as a complete different shinigami to the other normal ones.

"You'll find out later on, your name is Kilik?"

My face started to look questioning. How did he know his name? Was he stalking him or something? It was truly creepy but he still have the balls to ask how'd he know his name. Without hesitation, the white man pushed up the stacks over his right hand to support right and used his left hand to reach out and grab the tag off of his shirt. He tilted it so that I could see a word; my name basically printed on it.

"You, right?"

"I... didn't know I had that with me this whole time. I guess I have a pretty bad eyesight, heh."

"The name's Ukitake Jushirou, you may know me as the former captain of the thirteenth division that Ichigo Kurosaki has took from me for now? I basically run this place with some other helpers. A helper or teacher basically.

Kilik knew that he had to be a captain to possess this gentle but scary aura around him. It was soothing but scary because of the immensity weighing down himself. It was probably compressed and condensed so that people can't find it. But how did he know? He was wondering himself. And, if the man was clearly hiding his reiatsu. But why did he feel like he was being pressured by a complete dark force? The questions remained unanswered in his heart and it came to a talk. It got ridiculous.

"Captain Ukitake?! That's amazing! I-I never seen a captain in my life! I admire you already! The thirteenth division, you say?!

Ukitake nodded and Kilik got filled with excitement. His mind was changing to join the tenth to the thirteen by now. But he wasn't sure just yet until he actually meets Captain Hitsugaya or Captain Kurosaki himself. He heard of Kurosaki that he was generally an overall hero of the Soul Society, World of the Living and basically the universe from Aizen's dream to reach immortality and from achieving the powers of god himself. The idea was really intriguing but utterly stupid for someone to strive like that. Why would anybody like to live forever? Sure you may regret a lot of things in your life but living forever would only make you a lot more miserable and that's somehthing that a person would like to clearly avoid. Well, at least Kilik did. He can't stand looking sad and sorrowful, since it's just wrong. Then he noticed the time. Ah, crap. He ran off with a word and Ukitake simply waved at him with his remaining hand continuing his job to transport the stacks of supplies somewhere around the Shino Academy whether it'll be inside or outside, it didn't matter. Kilik was late already to get ready and now he's most likely late for class.

He skipped people having a conversation outside the classrooms. They were students walking in their class, some were coming out. Maybe the class hasn't started yet. He slowly ran into his Zanjutsu classroom with a 'Bingo!' causing everybody to stare at him in awkwardness. Dammit, always have to be like this, huh? Without knowing which seat to take, he just took an empty one at the back a bit to the right of this girl. Kilik just found a girl, time to push up the games! That's what usually Kilik would think of when he sees the girl he finds attractive but this time, he just let go trying to keep cool. What's life without a little bit of danger? The voice inside his mind started to ring noisily, it was like someone else was inside his body murmuring something that Kilik can not understand even with a robot to translate whatever the hell language they were speaking. Such awkwardness ensue...
