Shinou Academy

Where all spiritual beings come to become Shinigami and where current Shinigami hone and refine their skills. Often one of the only ways out of the poverty of Rukongai, it can take up to six years for normal souls to become true Shinigami. Before one even becomes ranked or anything of the sort, they are sent here for training, where they materialize their Zanpakuto and master the arts of Kido and Shunpo. The very best sometimes become seated members of the Gotei 13.
