Chapter 3: Test Day

Hurgh...

A-Are you okay, Renji?

It's obvious you're nervous, but are you all right?

Huh? What?! Nervous? No way! I'm perfectly fine!

Uh, your expression says otherwise...

You'll do fine, Renji. I know you practiced really hard for this.

Just calm down and think back on the practice we did. You should be able to handle this.

Think back on it...

Do your best.

(Yeah, there's no time to be scared. I have to do my best.)

Let's start heading over.

Yeah.

It's finally Renji's turn next.

He'll do fine, I'm sure. Renji will pass.

Yeah, you're right!

Next, Abarai.

Yes, sir! I'll do my best!

Congratulations, Renji!

I'm glad all three of us were able to pass.

Yeah! I knew I could pass!

............

Hey, Rukia!

Renji? By the look it, you were able to pass your exam.

No sweat!

That's good to hear. Congratulations.

Renji, we need to go get our next assignment!

Coming!

Well, Rukia, I'll see you around!

Yeah.

Now it's my turn to catch up to his progress...
