The Beginning for a great shingihami...

[14th squad captin]

It is a fine day in Seireitei, and in the soul(spirit) academy. Wind brushes Esako's long hair as he walks in the gardens around the academy.I think it is today that I should begin my true training. It has been months since Esako has entered the academy and there he was, fed up with the crap he had been taught . I need some action. He firmly pressed his hold on his zanpakuto, and for a moment went daydreaming ."Kid, you have potential and courage, but I hope you will use it for good, dont go around wasting it", these were the words of that wierd old man in Rukongai. I have to become stronger, I have to awaken my potential and push it to the limit!.

Esako suddenly got up in excitement with his zanpakuto in front of him, but quickly sat down again slowly looking around to see if anybody has noticed. He then remembered that the higher class students told him about this training room in the academy.That's it, that is where I shall begin. Esako raises a part of his hair ,which had covered his face due to the earlier breeze, and slowly gets up and starts walking toward the academy. He concentrates as he remembers the location of the training room, and he quickly does.

Why is it so quiet here?Esako enters a huge room, which seemed empty at first, but Esako would then realize that small fights were taking place at the far end of the large room. What am I doing , I don't know the first thing about fighting.His thoughts barely left his mind, as a man came up toward Esako. The man was rather tall, but with a fairly muscular body, and his upper body was naked while his lower body hid before a shingihami-like uniform. "So you came here to test your powers, is this your first time?". At first Esako was taken back by the sudden question but quickly came back to his senses, " Yes sir, could you show me where to train?" Esako asked."I see, come with me" said the man, and without looking at Esako he turns around and walks away.

The man realizes that Esako is following him, and stops. "First, just fight with this if you can"said the man, as a dummy emerges from what appears to be a closet behind the walls.

Esako was an exceptional teenager in his normal life. He was the top of his class in school, and was also a strong young man. People usally mistake him for a weakling due to his normal appearance, and so like to pick fights with him but soon do they regret it. When his father died, Esako became very aggressive at time, and so got into many fights.
After he graduated, he decided to travel around the world, and so he learned alot about himself during the journey. Esako was known to be expressionless but still handsome. At 65 years old, Esako encountered a deadly tiger in the amazon forest and had to meet his death there.
In Rukongai he was rather lonely because he does not trust too many people. He had only one friend and they lived in a rather empty region in Rukongai. One day three bullies from a nearby area came along and killed Esako's friend, he then had a major mood swing and furiously attacked the three intruders with a piece of wood. An elder witnessed this incident and realized the potential of Esako and suggested that he goes to the Gotei academy.......
