Because there are only two outcomes to being tested to be a Royal Guard: failure, i.e. death or success which means you are bound to the Soul King forever. That isn’t acceptable to the MC. They were all dead as soon as they came to take her for testing, she just went along with it for the benefits testing caused and an opportunity to murder them.
"Now that Orihime is gone, I must stabilize the situation. Simply put, she failed the final test and was destroyed by me. This was the original plan so it won't be suspicious. Ichibe may be doubtful, but there is no evidence otherwise."

Sufficient velocity, a writing and story forum
Lily had been looking at the design off and on since the Brotherhood had left. It looked surprisingly... simple from the exterior, but the interior was another story.
