Students rummaged through the hallways, some excited about the prospect of graduation, others planning on what division they were thinking of going to, the hallways were filled with glee and excitement. The overwhelming positive energy didn’t cease – even with Sanyu being in the same area as the lot of them. Despite Sanyu being different, a number of students had grown to accept Sanyu as he was, the big fluff that genuinely wanted to help others despite anything and everything that was given to him. It was obvious that the Komamura had faced a loss that some could only imagine to be a nightmare in the most vile of fashions, but even Sanyu’s father was indeed a hero. With Sanyu coming to the third division to genuinely help others, this mindset did not go unnoticed in any sort of degree. A number of Shinigami-prospects respected this and wanted to do nothing else but learn from him.
Just as there were a majority that accepted Sanyu for what he was, there were a select few that didn’t appreciate appearances. There were some students that did snicker in the hallways, making jokes about the beast-like soul that wandered through the halls. Of course, the fetch jokes, the peeing on tree jokes, even cat jokes weren’t far off from being told when Sanyu wasn’t around. Regardless of this mindset, souls were forced to accept the fact that whatever Sanyu was, didn’t matter. As a teacher’s assistant and as a member of the Third Division, Sanyu belonged in those halls helping and assisting the future souls in order for the greater good.
Kasu’s appearance in the Third Division took Zhou by slight surprise – A member of the First Division transferring to this division would have been nothing short of a demotion. With the First Division being known for having a number of souls powerful enough to protect the Soul Society at hand, the fact that she was currently here raised a lot of questions. Was this by her choice or was it something much more cryptic than that? The male bearing silver orbs took note of this – Third Division was definitely going through a number of changes.
Walking past the number of souls that wandered the halls, Zhou's attention was immediately grabbed by the older female casually addressing him from across the way. Being aware of his surroundings to a high degree, Zhou could tell that Kururu was seeking his attention. Zhou stopped in his tracks, turning his body towards the oldest member of the third division. Was Shujin Kagi’s prediction coming to fruition? It couldn’t be. Without any hesitance, he made his way over to the darker toned female with graceful pristine strands that fell down from her face. Zhou made his way over to the lot that stood around, without meaning any disrespect, his face had a cold exterior --the length of his dark blue strands lingering over his face.
"Is there something you needed assistance with, Instructor Nagahiro?"
There was not a hint of coldness in his voice though, rather it was solely how Zhou, visually, was. There was no genuine way to tell how the male was feeling. Instead, the male that was about business was just that, about his business currently. With his hands in his pockets and his silver orbs looking up towards the seven foot tall amazon, he waited to see what she requested his attention for. Although both Sanyu and Kasu were in the same vicinity, his attention was primarily focused on her – simply due to the fact that she had called him over on her own accord.
He wasn't exactly sure why she wanted him over just to talk within the halls as they would have access to see each other on a daily basis if need be. Even though Zhou had buried a lot of himself into training and honing his skills, Zhou still was accessible if anyone needed anything of him. Whether it had been his students or subordinates, he always made the time to assist in anyway that was needed.
