-Introductions-
Welcome to the Shinigami Academy. Right now, we have a simple number of classes that you're required to take, and score at least a 75% in. This gains you one credit. Each class you pass gains you a single credit. There are a possible total ten credits to be earned, with a minimum of eight credits needed to graduate from the academy.
Classes are given in stages, and while attendance will not count toward, or against your grade, all students are required to attend classes in order to graduate. Several classes may be held at once, so students will have to decide which class they prefer to attend first, and set a schedules for themselves. The classes below are listed in the order they must be passed in. One cannot take Kidou, until after they gain their first credit in Zanpaktou, and so on down the line.

A medically trained Shinigami is always present in order to assist in the healing and care of those who may be injured in the class.
