1-2 Selection

Straighten up this line! Stand with your backs against the wall!

The one in the chair must be their leader...

Hey, you sure about this? Maybe we should think about it...

If we don't do something, we're going to die! Think about that!

Attention! Attention! Quiet, please!

Now, will you live or will you die? To determine that, we will be selecting Hollows and Arrancars by means of a little competition!

The rules are as follows! Moving from right to left, I will begin stabbing everyone. So if anyone is saying to themselves, "No! I don't want to die"...

Or even better, if you're thinking, "Please! Let me join you! Let me serve you," then get down on your knees, right down, as if you were licking our boots, and beg for mercy!

You here are already a select group, the chosen few who had the luck, wits, or strength to survive our earlier attack!

Last chance now, don't squander this opportunity.

So if I say I'll join you, that means you'll spare my life then...?

No, of course not! Don't be silly! First you apply to join us, then you have to take an entrance exam!

That's the whole point of this selection process, to decide who gets to take the exam!

Anyone else who wants to try bending the rules will end up...like this!

And this! And this!!!

Do I make myself clear?!

Captain!

Unacceptable. You both were slow on your response time.

Now, that's interesting. I thought we'd confiscated all their weapons.

Lord Aizen's aide, Loly Aiverrne!

And I am Menoly Mallia!

Did you think we could be defeated by an underling like you?!

Hn!

Hah!

Do it.

Sir! You mean kill them?

No, no. His Majesty ordered us to bring him any idiots we found with guts. Those two pass the test. Punish them, but be careful not to kill them.

Aizen's aides, eh? That right there proves Aizen wasn't that great.

But then, even Tier Halibel, who ruled Hueco Mundo after the late Aizen... Even she, with all her strength, was no match for His Majesty.

So I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Argh!

Hey, I told you to be careful not to...

Urk!

...May I ask who you people are?

Huh?!

You've got the nerve to talk trash about Lady Halibel, and yet you have no idea who we are?! I guess it's true that underlings really are clueless!

From what we understand, it seems that you came and took Lady Halibel while we were away.

Just 'cause you beat those so-called aides to Aizen, don't get too cocky.
