>>5299148You were having a good time, but…
Time to get back to business.
You ruffle Ichimi and Konban’s hair again as you stand, the two boys looking up at you as you do. “I’ve gotta go. I’ll come around to see ya again sometime soon though, and I’ll bring Tsukuya-chan like I said. Remember you two – even if the trainin’’s easy, make sure ya pay attention to it and remember it. Ya never know when what ya learnt will come in handy, y’know?”
“Okay, niisan.” Konban says while nodding, while Ichimi only laughs in response, making you smile, feeling that sensation you sometimes got when you were around these two, and only them.
“Good boys. I’ll see ya soon. If ya do go to the Academy soon, try not ta die before I get a chance to, alright?” You say with a wave, not waiting for a response before you leave the room, preparing to leave the compound, only to run into your father, who had seemingly been waiting.
“Was I right about you all along?” He asks, you tilting your head at the non-sequitur.
“Gonna have to clarify what ya mean by that. I don’t speak retard.”
The man grimaces in annoyance, before he continues. “You got through the Shin’ō Academy at a heretofore unseen pace, the only person in history to have done it faster being your own classmate. You imprinted on your asauchi in less than 24 hours, and a Captain offered you to join his Division multiple times before you took it, and was more than willing to wait for you to make your own decision about it. And yet, it’s been a year. You haven’t improved your rank at all. You spend your time slacking off, wasting your time with things like this, instead of actually improving yourself. You’re an utter disgrace, and an embarrassment.”
You stare at the man in disbelief, completely shocked that at some point in your life you actually thought of him as somewhat intelligent. “Genuine question here. Are you like, actually mentally impaired or something?”
He scowls at that, glaring at you threateningly. “What!?”
You ignore his anger, not scared of him in the least. “If you genuinely believe I’m still the 20th Seat because that’s the position I actually deserve, you’re so stupid it physically hurts to be related to you. Can’t you see that…”
>Hirako-taicho is letting me keep that position because I want it>Hirako-taicho put me there so he has an eye he trusts on the lower seats >Hirako-taicho doesn’t want my time wasted with the paperwork I’d be doing in a higher position>Other (write-in)
