Findorr

Before we begin, I'd like to ask.

What rank do you hold?

Shuhei

Shuhei Hisagi. I'm a Squad 9 lieutenant.

Findorr

Very well.

In that case, I too will fight with the strength of a lieutenant-class Soul Reaper.

Shuhei

Huh?

2. After the battle

Shuhei

I don't get it.

Earlier, I thought you told me you were going to battle with all the power of a lieutenant.

But right now, I'd peg your strength at the level of a fifth seat, if that.

So what's really going on?

Findorr

Exacta.

As you just said, my current power level is exactly that of one of your fifth seats.

It pleases me that you guessed correctly. But I should have expected as much from a lieutenant.

So, you pass.

Shuhei

What?

Findorr

I was at a fifth seat's level. But now...

...I'm at lieutenant!
