Accepted

"Kurama Himura. You have requested an audience with the council and we have granted it. What is it you wish to say? Have you obtained the ability to release your zanpakuto? Or have you given up on your task, hoping that the council will lift your exile and allow you to return to the academy as a 6th year student?"

"I have not come to make any such request masters. I have released my zanpakuto's power as I had been tasked."

The council began to murmur in hushed voices to one another, though the headmaster remained stationary, already expecting this to be the young man's reply.

"If you would please demonstrate your new skills for us..."

The instructor gestured for him to begin. Normally unsheathing your zanpakuto in front of the council would result in immediate expulsion from the academy, but this was an exception. Kurama pulled Darcius Aisu from his scabbard and held him firmly in his right hand. Kurama extended his arm off to his side and called out its name.

"Bow before the Frozen Sage!, Kurounin Aisu!" Before the council's eyes Kurama's blade transformed from a basic katana to a long nodachi, tinted light blue with japanese lettering engraved on both of its sides.

"Well done. You have done what the council has requested, congratulations on your new seat of Squad 10."

It had been his intention all along to graduate him from the academy. The headmaster only needed to be able to prove to the rest of the council that he was more powerful than any student to walk through the academy doors. To prove him more accomplished than over two hundred other squad 10 lackeys. He'd talked with the captain of squad 10 already and secured the boy's seat before he'd even applied.

"You will be given the 6th seat of squad 10, I suggest you train your new found skill so that you can give that squad the leadership it's been lacking since Hitsugaya held the position."

"I will not let you down sir. Thank you council for allowing me this privilege.
