Gin drops down from the balcony first, falling lightly onto his feet. Rangiku's arrival is less graceful, ending with a crash as she falls on her butt, but she's quick to dust herself off. You note that the silver-haired boy isn't coming any closer, but that Rangiku comes up to you seemingly without any fear or suspicion.

“Do you do this every day?” she asks, clearly meaning your morning routine. The whole notion of being well-fed and secure enough to burn energy training before you even eat breakfast must be foreign to her.

You tuck Tenkotsuki into your sash before stooping to cup some water from a small bucket, splashing your face a little for an end-of-session cooldown. “Yeah. Been that way for ten years.”

“And d'ya always do it so early?” Gin asks. You must've woken him by accident when you left.

“Mhm. But it's mostly muscle memory at this point. I barely have to be awake.” Gin quietly ponders the implications there: that for you, fighting has become literally so second nature as to require no real thought.

“Will we have to do that too?” Rangiku asks nervously.

You laugh as you lead them towards the smell of breakfast being served to the rest of your Division. “Nope. If I let you swing your sword wrong over four million times you'd never recover from it.”

Because watching Byakuya squirm is pretty dang satisfying or Just training them ourselves (after maybe grabbing Kiskue to help).

If anything we'd either be the president or advisor captain

When little byakuya and Gin meet and start conversing.

OH fuck i just realized.....Instead of worrying about Nagasaki and Hiroshima we have to worry about surviving the battle of Okinawa and Iwo Jima first.......

So I'll be updating with sparring. Be back in a few.

The SS doesn't deal with souls from all over the world, right?

Whoever has the jurisdiction so to speak of Europe is going to piss themselves at the prospect of WW1 and 2.

>>39633448
The Eastern front is going to be impossible and some poor fucks will probably get stationed at death camps due to their regular mass killings

>>39633448
I know that's why i strictly pointed out the battles in japan

>>39633448
>The SS doesn't deal with souls from all over the world, right?
Its the entire planet. Kubo just has no sense of scale.

>>39633396
The deaths won't be all at once. It won't necessarily be manageable, but it won't go completely to shit in five seconds.

>>39633448
Has that been confirmed by Kubo by the way? It would certainly be interesting if that was the case.
Otherwise I'll be imagining shinigamis stationed at concentration camps, slowly dying inside.

>>39633448
That will almost certainly put a major dent in the manpower of SS

>>39633479
I'll put money down that we get the short end of the straw and get stuck in Nanjing if we don't skip town with Yoruichi

>>39633448
Yawtch was born 1000 years ago in a place with Jews. That's not Japan.

>>39633500
Speaking of possibly skipping town, what do you guys think our chances of getting Vizard'd are?

>>39633529
I'd say probably 25%, more if we make captain before it happens/

>>39633179
As much as you'd love to go ruffle Byakuya's feathers, you can't really think of a reasonable excuse for you being in the Kuchiki manor this morning... another time, perhaps. More immediate in your mind is the knowledge that Yoruichi has been frustrated with Suì Fēng's stalled progress in kenjutsu. She clings to the Jigen-ryu taught to her by her mistress like a daughter wrapped around her mother's leg, and it's caused her to cease her own growth and development. You can tell that Yoruichi's probably going to instruct her student to spar with you, hoping that you'll drive the point home for her.

“Let's grab some breakfast,” you tell Gin and Rangiku. “After that I'll probably have to teach Yoruichi's bodyguard a lesson.”

Gin eyes you warily. “A lesson, y'say?”

“Not like a beating... well, it'll probably look like a beating,” you amend yourself. “But it's a lesson she has to learn. She has goals of her own that she can't achieve otherwise.”

“I don't get it,” Rangiku frowns.

“You'll see when it's time.”

Breakfast is a fairly simple affair in the Japanese style today, with rice and miso with a variety of add-ins. You favor the aburaage, while Gin mixes in green onions and Rangiku takes hers plain, but also has a slice of fish. As usual you're treated to seconds, which settles your rumbling stomach after a day's worth of training compressed into a few hours. After your plates and bowls are cleared, and Rangiku forces Gin to thank the cook with her, you make your way to the training hall.

Since it's an absolutely gorgeous day outside, with a fresh breeze and warm sunlight, nobody's in here but a black cat. Your Captain, unbeknownst to anyone else in the room, peers down at you from the rafters as you enter.

“Fancy,” Gin mutters, inspecting the protective armor and training swords the higher-ranking swordsmen in the Stealth Corps use to instruct recruits... for the safety of the recruits, of course. Rangiku, meanwhile, has donned a helmet and is swinging a shinai around comically. It's still a bit too long for her. You see you've got a lot of work ahead of you.

You sigh, catching her bamboo sword between your fingers and effortlessly flipping it out of her hands. “I'll teach you in a bit,” you promise her, snatching the hilt of the shinai from out of the air as it spins, “but I need this right now, so try and behave? Okay?”

Rangiku pouts as you seat her and Gin against the wall, before Suì Fēng arrives.

“Lady Yoruichi insisted I spar with you this morning, Commander Kusajishi,” she greets you with a stiff bow. “Please take care of me.”

You wave off her bow. “No need to be so formal. Grab a shinai and we'll get started.”

Teach those kids how to hold a sword with TWO hands!

>>39633610
To your sparring partner's surprise, you simply smirk and beckon her with one finger. “No sense wasting time, hit me with your best.”

Perfect. All that you needed to set Suì Fēng off was that little taunt, and she immediately takes up a stance without arguing. Sword held vertically, high over the right shoulder: classic Jigen-ryu, Tonbo-no-mae. The “Dragonfly” stance of that school, which Yoruichi favors, eschews all thought of a second strike in favor of generating as much power as possible with the first blow.

How predictable.

As you take up an umbrella stance, your side turned and your blade held high with the point trained carefully on your assailant, she gives a loud shout of “EI!” and charges you. Her speed is good, and the power behind this blow is decent as well... but it's nowhere close to Yoruichi.

“Gotcha!” you shout back, sliding your right hand forward along the back of your own shinai and angling it so that the powerful overhand blow slides off to your right side. With the same pressure that resisted Suì Fēng's attack you push forward above her outstretched arms and slam your blade across her chest.

Had it been a Zanpakuto she would have been cut in two right below the collarbone, but even with a training sword Suì Fēng is thrown backwards by the force of the blow, and lies momentarily stunned on the floor. You can feel Gin and Rangiku's eyes on you, and sense that they don't understand the point of the exercise: your opponent is clearly outclassed.

“How!?” Suì Fēng gasps. “Do you know Jigen-ryu as well?”

“Of course I know Jigen-ryu,” you reply, resting your shinai on your shoulder as the girl struggles to her feet. “Who d'ya think taught me how to fight?”

She nods breathlessly. “Of course... you studied under Lady Yoruichi as well...”
(1/2)

>>39634126
“Jigen-ryu's a favorite of Shinigami, due to the Tonbo-no-Kamae's raw power being good against large Hollows,” you explain for Gin and Rangiku's benefit “Captain Shihōin Yoruichi is a master of the style, and she gets away with using it against me because her speed and control are phenomenal, which lets her recover if she has to. Damn near anyone else misses the crucial first strike, and loses.”

“Took me five years to figure out how to stop Yoruichi from nearly killin' me with that technique, but it's real simple in theory. Such a basic attack has no chance of hitting me unless my opponent is at least a Captain.”

The last bit was for your partner's benefit, but you're not fully sure how well she understood the point. You're trying to SHOW her that she's limiting herself without having to TELL her: the message may stick better if she realizes it herself.

>”Wanna see how I use Jigen-ryu?” That should prove your point in dramatic fashion.
>Try again, but use something different. Maybe she'll realize it on her own.

I meant to mention last thread that this is most likely before Aizen did whatever he did to Rangiku. Gin joined the Shingami the moment she had recovered to get revenge on aizen.

And it kinda seems iffy for Stealth Corps members to have their swords out already in an engagement.
Rank and file shinigami, I can understand. But ours group just seems to be more of a "Don't show your hand yet" approach to swordsmanship.

>>39634210
That was fast!

>>39634417
Don't know. All I know is that it left of a person was their clothes. And this was done to anyone who had any thing approaching a decent amount of spiritual pressure including shinigami.

>>39634195
>>”Wanna see how I use Jigen-ryu?” That should prove your point in dramatic fashion.

>>39634465
Adding on to this however I am pretty sure that Aizen hasn't done what ever he did to her. If he had there is no way Gin would have had Rangiku come with him to learn from us.

>>39634417
Just skimmed the thread where we met them, no mention was made of Gin being the stronger one, as far as I am aware.

So I dunno where you are getting that from.

>>39634195
>>Try again, but use something different. Maybe she'll realize it on her own.

>>39634195
“We can try again if you'd like,” you tell Suì Fēng, trying this time not to sound too challenging. “But please, try something different this time?”

Suì Fēng's eyes narrow as she straightens her short crop of black hair. “Very well. We shall see how familiar you are with this technique...”

This time she holds her blade in the middle position, keeping it closer to your centerline as she advances...

Hey, waitaminute... Isn't that the style of the Shinsengumi?

Oh good god. I now know how my friends feel when we're watching black science do his magic. I have no idea what these strange words and things mean but they sound pretty cool.

>>39634602

Right there with you. No idea what that is... but I'd shout it and try to punch someone.

Most Kidou incantations are pretty metal. Though with Tenkotsuki's abilities, that isn't really gonna happen much unless we're trying to reinforce an already cast spell by re-enchanting it.

Or take it to Kidou Corps level where there's a follow-up version for certain spells.

>>39634765
I'm sorry, but every time someone says Kidou Corps I can't help but think of them as boy scouts.

>>39634765
That reminds me, We need to get a chain instead of a rope for our Hojojutsu, Also we need to learn Hado 11:Tsuzuri Raiden

>>39634604
No, the core style of the Shinsengumi was Tennen Rishin-ryu, and she's using Sosuishi-ryu.

They both existed simultaneously, and someone with knew more about this field could expand on their similarities and differences. If I remember correctly Sosuishi was originally from Southern Japan, while Tennen Rishin originated in more central Japan nearer to Tokyo.

>>39634765
I hope we do some really unfair shit with our combos, like making the spell invisible on the fly or having two complementary spells go off simultaneously.

>>39634819
Didn't Yoruichi mention teaching us a technique that would let us use those cord binding tricks with Reiatsu or something?

>>39634538
Her attack is fairly direct, with no real tricks to it. You drop your blade into a low, reactive position and distance parry, carefully moving your feet only enough to get you out of her range by the smallest possible margin. To your amusement it seems Little Bee was counting on that. Clever, but the stunning strike she aims at your temple was too transparent... it's exactly what Yoruichi might do, and nowhere near as well executed.

“Better,” you commend her as you smack her wrist with a closed right fist to stop the blow dead, “but not good enough.”

Your counterattack is a simple upward swipe with your sword in your left hand that Suì Fēng manages to backpedal away from with a shunpo... her mistake. The hirazuki, or “flat thrust” championed by Hijikata Toshizō of the Shinsengumi isn't something that can be avoided that easily.

Stepping after her with your left foot you let a hirenkyaku close the distance, and your powerful thrust collides with the hilt of her shinai. Both weapons are obliterated from the force of the strike, but not before you slam Suì Fēng halfway through the nearest wall. She lays at the base of the wall for a moment, thoroughly winded but otherwise unharmed, trying to figure out exactly what just happened.

“Isn't that enough?” Rangiku asks nervously, rising to her feet. Gin is on one knee, seemingly ready to get to his feet if need be.

You nod as you walk over to them, tossing the hilt of your destroyed shinai aside. You note that your opponent still hasn't gotten up yet. “Yes. Right now she realizes if we were using Zanpakuto, or probably even bokken, she'd be unconscious or dead. That's the point to this whole exercise... to show her how far behind she's fallen.”

>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.

>>39634914
>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.

>>39634894
Correct. Sōsuishi-ryu in particular makes sense for Yoruichi to know/teach, as it's a "comprehensive" school that uses a lot of empty-hand strikes to unbalance or distract while the sword finishes or parries. It also tends to be uncomplicated, which is a plus.

I'm not ALL that familiar with its specific techniques.

>>39634903
Yeah, Tenkotsuki has some pretty bullshit powerful ghost wizard powers. It's nice to see kidou getting the spotlight.

That said, Soko Shunko + Bankai is still a combo that hard counters anybody who isn't straight up stronger than Riku in both offense and defense.

>>39635052
We couldn't do that combo because our bankai negates kido, And shunko mixes kido and hakuda

>>39634914
>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.

>>39635052
IF it works during Bankai. We haven't tested that yet. If it does work that means there's a short period Kido like Reiatsu can be expelled before being snuffed out by our bankai (since we send it out then draw it back in in a cycle to create Shunko). That would mean a point blank Kido type attack could still function. Either way the are benefits and drawbacks.

>>39635084
It negates external expression of spiritual pressure.

We should probably test that, though. I don't think it's gonna work because Shunko involves spiritual power being expelled from the shoulders, AFAIK.

>>39634914
>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.

>>39635142
We can't really experiment and practice with our Bankai when our sword said 'only use it for emergencies' unfortunately.

>>39634914
>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.
The last thing we need is to give her that solid reason to resent us that she has been searching for.

>>39634914
>>Go over to Suì Fēng, try to explain to her what happened just now. Don't let it fester.

>>39635207
Well practice and using it against an enemy are two different things. I'm sure she would want us to be able to use our bankai to it's fullest if we were ever forced to use it.

>>39635248
You should ask her first, all things considered.

>>39635207
She meant where people can observe. We can take a moment to actually use it and understand how it fully works without her getting upset. If we don't ever summon it for practice we won't be able to rely on it when we need it.

The trick is practicing it when Yoruichi isn't around and finding a way to dodge showing it off the the Old man and whoever else wants us to to test for captain since it seems like there's been some interest in that amongst the higher ups.

We should tell her that she has the talent to make captain. Costing like this is a waste and will reflect poorly on yourichi

>>39635267
Sure I agree. I like us being in harmony with her. It's a good feeling.

WOO! I finally managed to catch this live!

>>39634914
Although you HAD wanted to let her realize this herself, you also don't want to let her brood on it for too long. She seems predisposed to hating you, so you may as well not give her a good reason so soon. So you return to her, and offer your hand. She doesn't take it.

In her feline form, Yoruichi pads quietly across the rafters to get close enough to listen in.

“Look,” you sigh, looking down at Suì Fēng as she sits on the floor. “I know you don't wanna hear a lecture, least of all from me. But this is why Yoruichi had you fight me: to show you that simply copying her techniques and throwing them at me isn't gonna work.”

“You wanna protect Yoruichi, right?”

There's a moment where she sits in silence before replying. “I do.”

“More than anything?”

“Yes.”

You nod to yourself. “Well, you're not gonna do it by just using her moves, but less effectively. You'll need to get at least to the level where Kisuke and I are at to do it. To do that you need to step out of Yoruichi's shadow already. Think for yourself, learn your own strengths and how to build on them, and grow strong in your own right."

“You can do that, right?”

Finally, Suì Fēng takes hold of your hand and lets you help her to her feet.

“Definitely,” she replies, and you can see a new determination in her eyes. When she leaves the room after bowing to you again, she does so still holding her head high. That's good.

“Well kids,” you announce with a clap of your hands. “You're up.”

Rangiku's eyes widen at the thought as Yoruichi drops to the tatami mats and trots silently at your side.

“Well, Rangiku,” Gin offers with a grim grin, “I was glad to've metcha. Just wanted you t'know.”

“Aw, I won't be that bad,” you laugh. “But still, best to keep both eyes open for this, Gin.”

You grab hold of a replacement shinai, and toss two “wakizashi” length practice swords to your new students before explaining the stances to them. “Chūdan-no-kamae, middle stance. Tip at eye leve, relaxed shoulders, blade leaning forward. Most balanced of the three common stances. Gedan-no-kamae, low stance, good for defending or luring an attack to the upper body. Tip forward and below your hands, edge down.”

“Hassō-no-kamae, more aggressive than the first two stances, but poor for defense. Blade in front of you and held higher than middle stance, tip angled slightly back. Jōdan-no-kamae, the highest stance and most aggressive. Higher than Hassō-no-kamae. Wakigamae, blade held at your hip and angled behind you, to hide the length of your sword. Those are the five basic stances of kenjutsu.”

At each new stance you show Gin and Rangiku how to position themselves, physically correcting the posture of their small, still somewhat malnourished bodies where necessary. Just like Yoruichi did for you.

Gin seems to take to it more easily, and eventually you feel ready to show them the basic strikes.

“Three strikes on each side,” you explain. “Down diagonally, horizontal, and upward diagonally. Three midline: upward and downward, and the thrust. Do not use the thrust until I tell you it's okay.”

“Why's that?” Rangiku asks you.

To illustrate your point, you thrust at the wall with your shinai and leave a deep dent in it, even with such a halfhearted strike.

>>39636182
“That's why. Your practice swords don't do as well to absorb the power of a thrust, so they're dangerous to use when sparring.”

“Ya sure seem ta care more 'bout our safety than yer subordinate back then,” Gin observes.

You ruffle his hair a little, and when you remove your hand he tries vainly to push it back into some semblance of order. “I held back, just a little,” you reassure him. “But to hold back too much... it'd be insulting, you know.”

“Now, swing those shinai,” you order.

“For how long?” Rangiku replies.

“Till I tell you to stop, of course.”

As Gin and Rangiku grumble and begin to swing their blades tentatively, you find yourself having to interrupt them less and less often. By an hour before noon or so, you're simply sitting to one side watching, giving Yoruichi's ears a scratch as she sits next to you. Is it weird that you're scratching your Captain's ears? Probably, but who cares?

Just like with Kaoru, there comes a point where aspiring Shinigami just have to get a glimpse of what a real reiatsu monster is.

I can already see Gin taking a liking to this particular strike in the future.

Coping with Unohana's murderous gaze is something we've been doing for a while. It's just a fact of life at this point.

She's not going to kill us during the meeting.

So by my rough count the standings are 13 to 10 in favor of kidō with Kaoru.

>>39636615
>>39636629

Boooo!
I bet it'd have been funny too...

>>39636615
I know it's not the same character, but I'm still waiting for Kaoru to blurt out "Kenshin" one day and have no clue why she said it.

>>39636678
Kidou Corps, Was revealed in the shinsengumi arc

>>39636682
Hey, maybe Kaoru is at the meeting.

>>39636742
Not like I mind Kaoru, the meeting just sounded like the only time-constrained option while the others could be done at any time. Oh well.

>>39636227
It may actually be time to show them something new and different. You think that Kaoru has the afternoon off, so she should be able to help instruct these two in the very basics of kidō. You may have been able to pick stuff up just by copying what you saw others do, but you somehow doubt you'd make all that effective a teacher when it comes right down to it.

“Head back and grab some food,” you tell Gin, handing him your Lieutenant's badge so the cook on duty knows that he and Rangiku are there with your permission. “You did great this morning, both of you.”

Your simple words of praise seem to catch Gin off guard, likely because he's never been told something like that before, and puts a little bounce in Rangiku's step as she races off for lunch. As you're left to pick up their abandoned equipment, you kneel across from Yoruichi.

“They've got potential,” she admits in her oddly masculine cat voice. “And thanks for helping with Suì Fēng... as much as that girl adores me, she never really listens to me. Couldn't even get her to drop the honorifics.”

“I noticed,” you reply. “Not a problem. I'll be taking those two to learn a bit from Kaoru after lunch. That okay?”

Yoruichi hops up onto a windowsill, apparently ready to go off on her own business. “I suppose that means I'll have to go to this “Women's Association” thing. What a bother...”

“Hey, you can't pawn all your work off onto Kisuke all day long.”

“Doesn't mean I can't try.”

>>39636774
Oh, by the by, have we actually confirmed with Yoruichi that we've learned Bankai? We kind of deflected her question due to that horrible manuscript that demanded to sear the minds of all who read it.

> “I suppose that means I'll have to go to this “Women's Association” thing. What a bother...”

Nuts. I actually wanted to see Riku's reaction

>>39636832

>>39636862
We'll probably show up later.

>>39636774
After eating a rather spartan meal of kitsune soba, you leave the Second Division barracks to head over to the Kidō Corps' HQ. The place is fairly secluded, near the base of the execution grounds hill. You gather that's because the tools used to execute prisoners there require a specific ritual to unseal and use properly, which makes having the most adept Kidō users all in that one place convenient.

It doesn't take you long to single out Kaoru's reiatsu, and you find her sitting by an open window overlooking a small garden.

"Hey, third-seat Shiba!" you call to her. "Brought ya some students!"

Kaoru shuts the book she's been reading to survey Gin and Rangiku, and she quickly smiles as she pushes her glasses back up onto her nose.

"Oh? So who's the..."

"My Captain beat you to it," you interrupt with a grin. "By about a hundred years."

"She's too fast at that too, I guess," Shiba sighs, hopping down from her perch to greet you. "You've been well, I take it?"

"Very. Made Bankai not too long ago."

Your friend's eyes widen in surprise. "Bankai, huh... I knew you were bullshit strong, but I had no idea you'd gotten that far already. I need to step up my own training."

"Think you can spare time for these two?" you ask. "They've got pretty good instincts, and nice reiatsu for untrained kids."

"What did you have in mind?"

Or at the very least, noone should know what it does. Its a pretty terrifying thing to spring on just about anybody without them knowing about it, unless theyre kenny, but with planning, it can be overcome.

Nope no one must know, Not even our beloved Yoruichi.....

>>39637197
I figured we'd just reveal it personally to Yamamoto, because there's no way we'll be able to defeat him with it.

>>39636951
“Let's start with the basics,” you suggest. When they practice we can talk about more technical stuff.”

Kaoru nods, then immediately launches off into a lecture about reiatsu, how to sense it, how its generated, and how to shape it. In a dramatic change from the kenjutsu training earlier today, it's Rangiku who seems to hang on every word, and who figures out the trick to sensing her own reiatsu first. Gin on the other hand looks a little lost for a while, before he quietly nods and insists he's figured it out.

“Good, now let's try this,” you suggest. “Kaoru, have our students use Hadō 1 on me.”

She nods. “Sure. That's probably safe.”

Rangiku is the first to step up. Kaoru goes over the incantation for her, and tells her how to focus her spiritual energy properly. Sure enough, the blonde girl manages to get it right on just her second attempt. It feels like someone's tapping your forehead due to its low power, but it's technically solid.

“Hey, I did it!” she cheers, jumping in place. “Did you see that, Gin!?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Gin mutters, trying to sound excited.

“That was a really good start!” you tell Rangiku, trying to keep her excited. “Keep it up!”

When Gin's turn comes up, he manages to knock himself onto the ground. Rangiku laughs a bit before helping him to his feet. It takes several more attempts to get it right, but eventually he manages to hit you with a Sho. It's noticeably stronger than Rangiku's when he manages it, but not by too huge a degree.

“Now then, let's see about something a bit tougher: Byakurai.” Kaoru repeats the process of teaching your two young pupils how to chant, aim, and draw out their spiritual energy, before letting them try.

Rangiku hits her target with a weak blast of lightning, cheering once again. Gin manages to singe his eyebrows and blow his hair back as his spell goes off in his hands.

If we got Yoruichi tier we actually might stand a chance against him if we shut down all his Kido and Flames. He's still Beast mode with a sword and beast mode with his fists but we'd have a better chance than all but maybe 3-4 of the current captains I think.

Then again revealing it to him may be fine since he already had every possible contingency he'll feel he needs for it. The trouble is if he feels like it's too dangerous of an ability to have around.

I dunno that we'd have to, honestly. Kenny doesnt need a bankai. I figure, since our bankai is basically just a crazy kubo switcharoo for special occasions, most of our power is already with us at all times, as the full state of our shikai, and we should probably be able to match most captains with just that. When were at captain level, that is

>>39637500
>Don't laugh, but correct.
Is this not (1/2) then?

>>39637525
A better chance than most captains against yama is still no chance at all, though.

>>39637500
>>Don't laugh, but correct.
But tussle his hair again. It's like a laugh but with head pats.

>>39637442
We fake him out too in the demonstration

But tell him afterwards what it really is.

People would probably sense if everything kind of stopped for no apparent reason around where we were.

And Aizen being the bullshitter he is would know we did it somehow and plan around it.

>>39637574
yes.

>Don't laugh, but correct.

"Everyone's got something they get the hang of more easily."

>>39637557
The 11th division is a special case though. For any other Captain, bankai is a necessity, and it's not really a matter of faith.

>Don't laugh, but correct.

>>39637500
“Everyone has their strengths,” you remind Gin as you tussle his hair playfully, which he's forced to stand there and take this time. “Yours is also your problem: you've got more reiatsu than you can actually control, meaning your spells backfire sometimes.”

“So how do I fixit?” he asks quietly, his eyes fixed on the target downrange.

Kaoru sits next to him, also looking at his target with him. “Maybe try working with Sho some more? Try maintaining the pressure, see if that helps you get a feel for your own power.”

Gin nods thoughtfully. “I'll givvit a go, yeah.”

“No substitute for experience,” you add.

As the two kids continue practicing, you sit next to Kaoru, who hands you a small book. “You're fond of Bakudō 79, right? Kuyō Shibari?

“Yeah,” you admit. “It's still the highest level spell like it I can use. Why?”

“I was thinking about something yesterday,” she explains. “My spiritual power's a bit too low to pull it off though.”

Looking at her handwritten notes, you see a passage with a short incantation: “My left hand stokes the nine black flames. Blood of steel, voice of thunder, call down ruin and attain Nirvana.”

There are 3 ways to become captain. 1 is to kill a captain and take his place Highlander style, another is to show off your bankai and take the test and the last is to get voted in by a majority of captains n shit who say you're bad ass enough to pass muster.

"Check it out Tenkotsuki! New spell!"

>Try and figure out how this damn incantation's meant to work?
Kaoru-dono did mention Kuyo Shibari first when she put this to our attention. Maybe this is like a Version 2.0 for that particular spell? So, we might be starting out with a bog standard Kuyo Shibari first before executing this one next.
Already taking notes from Tessai, I see.

Additional stray thought. She's in the Kidou Corps HQ, so shouldn't she also pitch this idea to her own Cap and Lt.? The results might vary and end up surprising for all involved.

Alright, since it's fairly common that you wanna puzzle it out, roll me 3d10 against DC 6 and 8. Tenkotsuki means you get 5 rolls considered.

Rolled 10, 8, 5 = 23 (3d10)

>>39638124

Rolled 8, 10, 7 = 25 (3d10)

>>39638124

Rolled 3, 2, 2 = 7 (3d10)

>>39638124
Thank you Tenko-sama!

Rolled 5, 2, 4 = 11 (3d10)

>>39638124

Rolled 2, 7, 5 = 14 (3d10)

>>39638124

Rolled 8, 6, 10 = 24 (3d10)

>>39638124

>>39638138
>>39638139
God, immediately. And one's a critical against DC 6.
