Today is May 12th, 2000. The fifth month of the new millennium and of course the second month since your transition into the 10th grade, class 1-3. Alongside Ichigo Kurosaki, Tatsuki Arisawa, Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, Kyoko Haida, Riruka Dokugamine, and Kazumi “Senna” Sato, you and your companion Haruka Sendou was all in the same class. Newcomers Keigo Asano, Ryō Kunieda, Mizuiro Kojima, Chizuru Honshō, and Michiru Ogawa also was apart of your class. A rather colorful cast of characters as you came to slowly mingle with them in between your job at the Urahara shop.

It was only just yesterday that you had to negotiate between the thugs not to pick a fight during the academy entrance ceremony. Despite your best efforts, things still snowballed out of control but not out of fighting. It seemed Riruka had instigated another group of thugs after smacking their leader for trying to hit on Orihime before getting lectured by Tatsuki. Though she was no better as she was casually stomping on the playboy’s pride in between the lecture. In retrospect, it seems trouble seems to follow the gang more than the other way around as the more hardheaded teachers wanted to assume.

In spite of these turns of events, things were never boring for you. At the start of the school year, you were requested into taking various club activities due to your athletic and academic abilities. Aside from the possible music club, you didn’t really join any other club. The duties from Urahara shop mainly kept you all tied up and starting another Occult club when it already felt like it existing with your group of friends generally hanging out with each other was redundant. That said, you ended up making the club yet again, drawing in the gang one by one. Unlike in middle school, it went much smoother in retrospect.

Unlike you, it seems that nobody manifested any spiritual powers. Well, actually you knew Uryu was a Quincy, and Ichigo was in a similar boat as ever since the accident he’s been blooming stronger attunement to the spiritual world than previously. Tatsuki, on the other hand, had her dragon powers sealed in an Asauchi but no awareness of the predicament. Orihime and Chad didn’t show any demonstration of powers, Kyoko’s psychic abilities only gotten stronger and Riruka only told you that she was a fullbringer. So when it came to hollow duty, only you and Senna took incentive with occasional assistance from Uryu and Riruka.

>>4371665

Hollow sightings were exceptionally rare in Karakura town as most of the time Urahara sent you on the outskirts of Karakura Town, specifically Naruki City and Kagamine City. For some reason, in the past six years since that fateful day by the river, not once did a hollow show up in Karakura Town. You chalked it up as a sign of good luck. Though Senna called you being too optimistic, earning a pecking from Haruka. Unfortunately, you soon learned how wrong you are once a hollow sighting came to the scene on May 12th at seven at night.

The location of the hollow sight was at the Kurosaki clinic.

Yumiko Shirosaki, age eleven, a small, slim young girl with long brown hair worn in high bunches that are held in place with cherry hair bobbles. From what you remember she was an unfortunate victim of a hit and run several months ago. During that time she anchored herself to her memorial bottle located against the light pole. You along with several of your friends, most typically Ichigo been keeping her company. Going as far as to even replace the flowers and fill them with water from time to time.

In retrospect, it probably wasn’t a good idea leaving a ghost unattended as long as you did. From your trips outwards to the other cities facing hollows, you learned that they are attracted to lingering spirits. So it would’ve been better to send the spirits packing through a konso. A type of soul funeral that sends the souls safely into a spiritual realm called Soul Society. Of course, it was a mixture of cold feet and growing complacent with Karakura Town’s lack of ghosts that you didn’t feel any sense of urgency.

You wanted Yumiko to leave with no regrets first rather than forcibly sending her back. While kind and thoughtful it ultimately nearly cost the poor ghost her life. Apparently a hollow by the codename Fishbone D came from who knows where and devoured her. Before he could completely finish the job, the Sealing ward you put upon Yumiko activated. Repelling Fishbone away before you came to the rescue. But before you could strike the hollow, it was already gone. Almost attracted by a much more powerful spirit in the distance.

Left with little options, you chose to save Yumiko’s remaining existence by inserting her into Nahtigalou. You swore to yourself you would get back the portion of her soul that was devoured by Fishbone D out of principle. When a soul is devoured by a hollow it is generally assimilated into the creature, becoming apart of them. But the echoes of their existence still remain, floating endlessly in a sea of despairing chaos. If there are enough portions of the soul that is consumed still existing in a singular entity. Then that individual will immediately turn into a hollow. Otherwise, they’ll break down and fade into reishi, otherwise called spirit particles.

With Yumiko becoming permanently apart of your soul via Nahtigalou, you rush over with Senna towards the hollow’s next planned of attack. To your misfortune, it seems that it was heading over to Ichigo’s location. Most likely drawn to Ichigo’s Reiryoku you couldn’t rule out the other potential targets as Isshin and Masaki were taking care of some medical business with Ryuken and Kanae Katagiri elsewhere. Leaving Ichigo having to defend his sister Karin who showed latent signs of being a fullbringer and Yuzu who’s former Quincy powers were still in recovery ever since that faithful day on June 17th.

Arriving on the scenes through the use of Springen, an advanced application of the high-speed movement of Flucht that took cues from Bringer’s Light and the reishi application of Steigen which Uryu called Hirenkyaku.for reasons that currently escaped you. Using the properties of both it essentially granted you an even greater level of dynamic on any medium be it solid or fluids and greater momentum. You compared the experience as bouncing while accelerating dramatically like a fighter jet.

While lacking in the flowmotion necessity and refined mobility and orientation applications, as well as resistance nullification that Flucht provided. Its tremendous force and power made it unnecessary as if you wanted, you could easily break through the sound barrier with your linear motions. Although, you were currently trying to ride the slipstream and work with the sound barrier to avoid putting a strain on the body and to your surroundings. Arriving just above the Kurosaki clinic you bare witness to the event that partook.

Ichigo currently stood with a black blade in hand, readying himself for the battle at hand. The hollow Fishbone D managed to grab Yuzu and was holding her hostage with his surprise attack. Previously it seems that Ichigo managed to slice off its harm after breaking from Rukia’s kido spell before it retreated to Hueco Mundo. Using the dimensional healing that hollows possess, it was able to instantaneously regrow its arm before returning in a blink for revenge. But was more concerning was the shinigami beside him. Rukia Kuchiki.

The moves of Fishbone D was odd as they weren’t anything that of a regular hollow. It wasn’t that of a menos either, but there was something about Fishbone D that felt….familiar to you. Confused by this, you took to remaining far away as you watch Ichigo losing his cool and trying to slice Fishbone D to save his sister. Rukia being the more reasonable out of the two kept pushing Ichigo away from the hollow’s attacks, getting scrapped in the process. It seems like as the battle went on that Rukia was hesitating.

According to your mentors, Zanpakutos have a phase called Shikai. And from your Reikaku aka Spiritual sense, you could sense that Rukia was far stronger than she was letting on. A third seater with the potential to go, lieutenant, if not already having reached the plateau if her psychology wasn’t holding her back. Immense guilt and sorrow were radiating from her as you observed her movements. Almost as if some part of her wanted to repent and relinquish herself in any way possible to make amends for something deep.

Almost getting distracted by these lingering feelings your eyes turn ahead to see Ichigo managing to free his sister through a risky yet instinctual application of Steigen, but in his hasty rescue, he left himself open to the impending hollow attack. Reaching your hand out quickly, you embed Ichigo with a defensive barrier with Andacht. Following up on that you dramatically boost Ichigo’s performance and capabilities with Andacht’s spellcasting. Empowering him with the strength needed to charge forward holding a dense black daitō with a crossguard that has four prongs bent.

Instinctively taking a stance, Ichigo begins to draw in the reishi around him. Absorbing it at remarkable speeds and condenses the acquired reishi at equal efficiency. His siphoning speed was impressive as always but something about again feels relatively odd. As you turn to Rukia you would see her black Shihakushō turning into a white hue. Almost in response to this, Ichigo’s body was shrouding himself in a black aura as it took the form of the Shihakushō. With a deep blue glow in his eyes as he took aim.

Get everything locked down. Seems like Ichigo's absorbing the reishi from Rukia or something? We gotta get the part of Yumiko back as well and quincy powers obliterate hollows entirely so we can't have Ichigo going through with the attack. Urahara can help us figure out the Rukia part.

Human (Bount/Quincy), Shinigami, Hollow (Asauchi), and Dragon (Kushanāda/Kami). Four components lying in wait in the centerfold that was your soul. Three fourth of the composition came from donations, be they from living individuals in the human world or...from the pocket dimensions known as the valley of screams. Regardless of where it came from, the parts were now apart of you lying in dormancy. The remaining components that have been with you since the beginning you trained diligently in order to refine towards becoming second nature to you.

Henceforth acting solely on your intent and resolve your hands start to move forward. Almost in slow motion, it followed the rhythm that Ichigo was producing. Clacking sounds akin to chains start echoing across the area. Drowning out the crackling sounds that were coming from Ichigo’s escalating build-up. Two souls were now in resonance as the impending reiatsu between the two of them start to skyrocket. Causing the surrounding area to tremble in response. The only time you experience this sensation was three years ago during your swords training with Kisuke.
Just recently you have gotten the feeling of consistently drawing out that kind of resonance to reflect your impending resolve. That was Kisuke’s intent in making sure you can draw out your full power at any time and location regardless of the situation or condition. On average you were around the level of a third or fourth seat. Only reaching the level of a lieutenant or theoretically higher only on an intuitive level. Course doing so did still put an extraneous load on your body as you were getting used to drawing out and manifesting Nahtigalou at full strength.

Thankfully the condition to draw out that strength came to you upon sensing the impending dangers of Ichigo’s attack. In response to Ichigo’s firing of the Getsuga Tenshou, you in slue invoke the nigh-unbreakable incorporeal chains known as Fantasía, Materializing them around Fishbone D, you construct a powerful barrier using the chains as the medium for your reiatsu. In turn, the chains stand vigorously in defiance to Ichigo’s Getsuga Tenshou. Absorbing the blow as it weathers through the shock and impact of the collision before harmlessly debilitating the dense reishi.

>Adding the 88 for something else as part of the bonus

>>4374014

For added insurance, you manifest additional chains that you navigated underground to tether Ichigo’s body, specifically the dense black odachi blade in his hand to the ground. Acting as a powerful adhesive to the surface without disrupting the tension, Ichigo soon found himself unable to tug his sword away from the ground. As the smoke clears, everyone would see Fishbone restrained completely from head to toe by the very same chains that protected him from the powerful attack.

“Phew~ That was cutting it close there.” You smile, rubbing your forehead as you descend from the air to make contact with the ground. “Ichi... What exactly what you were thinking? Nonchalantly releasing a blast like that. You could’ve ended up destroying the entire street alongside the hollow. Blowing away any poor soul unlucky enough to get caught in the compressed force of your sword swing of that magnified slash.” You lecture Ichigo somewhat as you made your way to him.

“Huuuh?! Haru?! Since when did you arrive here?!” Ichigo exclaims in confusion, genuinely surprised at your sudden appearance. Leaving you to sigh in response as Senna awkwardly laughs.

“Really Ichi? Even at this stage you still can’t sense my reiatsu. Man, having your levels of Reiryoku really makes your Reikaku almost completely blind.” You shrug, undoing the chains that held Ichigo in place once you saw he wasn’t going to attack anymore. “Besides...don’t you know that….Quincy’s….destroy...hollows completely...”You muttered, almost blanking out at what you saw in mid stuttering.

Coughing a bit to clear your throat you focus your attention on Ichigo’s current appearance. The strawberry orange-haired Quincy wasn’t wearing his typical taste in clothing. No, it was as if his school uniform was smothered underneath the black Shihakushō now shrouded his body. At first glance, it looks like traditional Japanese clothing, finely woven by the most cultivated of silky fabrics. On closer inspection did you see that the reishi siphoned from the atmosphere merged with Ichigo’s reiatsu, forming this densely compact shroud.

“Say Ichi...could you looked at yourself at the moment in a mirror?” You point out, going as far as to direct Ichigo towards a still intact window.

“Hm? I don’t know what you’re on about but sure give me a moment.” Confused by your words Ichigo made his way towards the window. Upon seeing himself on the reflect did he too have the same confused and perplexed expression you were carrying. “What the hell is this?!?! I don’t recall ever once manifesting something like this!”

“That’s what I’d like to know!” Breaking up the conversation between you and Ichigo was none other than Rukia Kuchiki currently in her depowered state. Now donning a white Shihakushō kimono you could barely feel any power from her. A feeling of deja vu starts to fester in your mind. “I only attended to lend him my strength after seeing him losing his cool and fighting sloppy but somehow almost all my Reiryoku and Shinigami Powers.”

“Oh? Just the person I wanted to talk to. Hi, my name Haruto Shinota.” You politely nod in a bow, throwing Rukia off guard by your manners. “If that’s the case, then that does explain why I sense the shroud Ichigo was wearing having Shinigami properties. Including the Zanpakuto like vibes I’m getting from that black blade.”

“R-Rukia Kuchiki, a pleasure to meet you. “ Rukia stuttered, also breaking into a bow before remembering the situation and rightfully getting upset. “Oh is that all?! For some reason or another, my powers somehow went into Ichigo as if I have done the ritual for one to become a substitute shinigami.”

“So this is shinigami powers...my old man mentioned to me once having been a shinigami himself.” Ichigo ponders, already have gotten used to the sensation. A small smile was forming from his face, almost if something about this put his heart at ease despite the abnormality. “Don’t take this the wrong way but this sensation feels...natural to me.”

“Well, you are according to Mr. Urahara supposed to be half-shinigami. Maybe experiencing the power first hand reawakened those shinigami powers lying dormant inside of you. Though in this case, it seems to manifest differently thanks to your Quincy half.” You let off a small chuckle, already grown accustomed to this much to Rukia’s grimace. Noticing her worry, you tilt your head trying to think of the cause for the strange transference.

“Let me be the one to answer that.” Spoke a cute yet rambunctious lass as she suddenly appears right behind your shoulder. The voice was rather distorted as evident to the four-eyed bird mask that was on her face before pulling it aside to reveal Genki style cutie underneath. “My name is Jammerwoch but you can call me Jabba-chan for short~”

“Jaba?! When did you come out? Where’s Nahtigalou?” You ask, brushing off the obvious of her reading your mind due to being deeply connected towards your soul.

“Oh, master you’re so silly. You should know more than anyone else that Nighty and I are one and the same. Two souls housing one body but more akin to two sides of the same coin. When you instinctively switched from using the powers of a bount to that of a dragon, the position of power flipped between the two of us. Thus I came to the surface and little ms big bird is currently squawking up a storm back in the inner corridors of your soul.~” The pink-haired lass made a rather cheeky smile, reveling her dragon-like teeth openly as she explains. True to her words you did know exactly what she was getting at.

Ever since the day you took the composite existence that was White, Jabba as you currently knew her came into existence. A process born through White bonding with the Dragon portion of your composition, swapping the placement between the hollow powers and the dragon. Leaving the original incarnation becoming intertwined with the entity as they swapped places between the shepherd of their respective powers. A blessing in itself as this new incarnation of Jabba made it far easier to draw out and develop the dragon powers that was the root of all your strain. As well as housing the gullet of the Soul King inside of her among the hellish properties she exhibits. An abnormality of conglomeration.

“Anyway, before we talk about explanations. Don’t you still got one thing that you have to do before that?” Jabba remarks, tilting her head back towards the bound Fishbone D as it was struggling helplessly against the nigh-indestructible chains. Senna meanwhile was tending to Yuzu and Karin with her healing arts.

“Oh right, Yumiko. I have to go save her.” Before you could rush over to the hollow, Jabba glomps your back, nearly pulling you down as she happily whistles.

“Already drawn her out the moment you summoned those chains.” Jabba teases, pointing her index finger as a manifestation of the remaining essence that made Yumiko was floating in a spherical shape for al to see.

“Thanks, Jabba.” You remark, lying against her lap after the tumble as you watch her put the pieces back together before sucking it up into her mouth. “So what about that explanation you were going to give?”

“Oh right. Well to put a long story short, Ichigo and Rukia resonated with one another. Her presence brought out the power lying dormant inside of Ichigo as portions of her Reiryoku was transferred into him through the breaking of reishi. What you’re seeing now is all 100% Ichi.” She points happily as Ichigo blinks in confusion before looking back up to the black blade. “Course Mr. Urahara could give a much more detail explanation of the strange phenomenon.”

“Okay, that certainly explains the Reiryoku drain as I was desperately holding myself together. But that doesn’t explain the loss of shinigami powers.”

“Oh that’s because I ate them personally alongside your guilt and sadness~” Jaba smiles, causing everyone to turn stone out of shock. You begin to turn away in shame and embarrassment.

“Eh? Excuse me...I’m sorry I didn’t exactly hear that right. Could you repeat that.” Rukia sweats, blinking furiously in confusion as she wasn’t sure exactly what she was hearing.

“Haruuuu, this one isn’t bright. How hard is it to grasp that I chomped down on her Shinigami powers with my chains yanking them out during the commotion.” Jabba whines, pressing closer to your chest as Rukia clinches her fingers into balled-up fists as angry couldn’t describe the flustering sea of emotions she was currently feeling. “Think I should devour more of her aspects till she’s nothing but happy feelings?”

Sensing the rising tension coming from Rukia you simply planted your right hand against the pink hair dragoness. Bonking her on the head would only stir her up considering that she was secretly a masochist. Odd when considering the fact she wields those chains and hooks/sickles/javelin/ball multi-function arsenal with such deadly precision and accuracy. Even now when you see those chains move with such finesse to pull off versatile and effective maneuvers while retaining tremendous aim and control. It gave the impression of a dragon’s tail with how flexible yet deceptively ferocious it can be.

“Jabba, I know that you’re only doing what you think is best. But you have to ask people if you want their help rather than read their mood and pick up on their inner thoughts/emotions without asking .Especially when said remedies for that end up devouring their primary source of power.” You carefully explained while admonishing in your typical laidback temperament.

Jabba merely kept quiet, acting like a kid as she puffs her cheeks in a pout. She seems to understand what you were saying but it looks like she didn’t feel bad about what she did. Clearly there was something more to it than meets the eye. But you didn’t have time to analyze Jabba’s reasons as you turn your attention back to Rukia. Although currently defenseless, Rukia still took a defensive stance of defiance. If nothing else she was certainly quite the impressive firecracker to retain her composure despite the ods.

“Anyway, I’m really sorry about this Ms. Kuichiki. This hasn’t been the first time that this happened, though the circumstances seem to be far different than how I’d ended up receiving Yorui’s powers.” You awkwardly laugh, rubbing your head in bashfulness at the act. In between attempting to calm the shinigami down, your eyes turn back to Senna who was finishing up healing Yuzu and Karin. “Anyway, we should head to Kisuke’s shop to discuss all of this. Hey Senna. You think you can stay behind and watch over Ichi’s siblings?”

“Mhm, leave it to me. Nothing bad will happen to them while I am here.” Senna nods, giving words of encouragement as Ichigo feels more receptive towards following you and Rukia to the Urahara’s shop.

“Thank you. Now if you please, let’s head on out before the neighbors notice what’s going on outside.” Clapping your hand together you rounded up everyone in an orderly fashion as you begin the march to the shop. Leading the way you kept a close eye on Rukia as she was being distant and constantly on guard.

>>4374857

“I suppose telling you not to worry and that everything will work out won’t be enough to convenience you to calm down. So let me tell you first hand I’m deeply sorry for the predicament that fell upon you. I promise with all of my strength I will make amends and set things right. Until then, you have my word that you’ll have my full cooperation and assistance in whatever you need.”Breaking from the typical mood you took to give a more serious yet comforting expression and tone. Emitting a rather strong presence as you reassure Rukia completely.

“...Thank you. My powers aren’t permanently gone so on their own they’ll recover with time. So for the moment, I’m out of commission and someone will have to fulfill my duties as resident shinigami. Not to mention I would need somewhere to stay until I can fully recover. Can’t exactly go back home to the soul society like this as it’ll raise too many questions and I don’t sense the need to reveal either of you if I can avoid it. “ Rukia ponders after nodding, cracking a small smile as you somehow manage to reassure her despite your lazy attitude.

“Don’t talk as if I’m not involved as well.” Ichigo barks, reminding everyone that he was right behind them with his trademark sourpuss face. Folding his arms before tilting his head upwards, Ichigo starts to soften up as he begins pondering. His blackened reiatsu reaching a state of calming stillness as it powers down. “Way I see it it doesn’t matter how it happened or why. In a way, Rukia still gave me her strength and her powers would’ve completely fallen onto my lap had it not been for Jabba’s interference. Still, I can’t help but feel connected to them in some way. Like an imprint or something.”

“Anyway, what I was getting at is that I’m just as responsible for this as you Haru. I’m not the type of guy who would be a total scumbag and run away from fulfilling my responsibilities. So until my debt to you for all that you have done for me and my family is paid off, I’m in the same boat as Haru. So you can learn to lean on me as well...Rukia.”

“Ichi…” You smile in lieu of your best friend’s offer to also assist the depowered shinigami. Underneath that tough-guy demeanor was still the thoughtful and dependable cinnamon bun that you knew since the age of four alongside Tatsuki. In response to this, you actually start to hear Rukia breaking into a burst of heartfelt laughter. “Is something wrong.”

>>4374873

Quickly waving her hand with the over covering her mouth, Rukia tempers Ichigo’s grumpy mood before looking back into your confused eyes. “No, it’s nothing. It’s just, I never thought in my life I’ll be having two knights in shining armor catering to my hand and foot like some sort of snow princess.”

“...Is that so?” Both you and Ichigo said in unison as you look at one another before adverting your attention back to Rukia. Jabba meanwhile looks blankly at Rukia, making a more serious expression underneath her goofy demeanor.

(Going to be time skipping the Kisuke confrontation, It'll be more or less confirming your suspicions while diving into more talk about Ichigo's Quincy powers, specifically Schrift B - The Blade. being the source of the resonance. Between Ichigo's Schrift Powers and the Hyogaku inside of you, restoring Rukia's powers will be simple but will be taking some time as well as a d100 roll to see how effective it is at the first go. But it'll only truly bear fruit once you have gotten rid of Rukia's depression given the Hyogaku is still acting out her wish.

Either way, start making your long term plans cause we'll be heading to school soon. And you can make your roll now if you so choose.

Rolled 86 (1d100)

Let's spend some training time with Ichigo, now that we're aware of the extent of his power. Get Uryu and Riruka involved, the whole hollow-hunting squad. He'll especially get some use out of practice with a fellow quincy. Bring Rukia in as well for restoration attempts and bond building. Maybe she can help out with the Shinigami side for both Ichigo and Haruto too.

Okay so with the hundred from Last thread for the Squad alongside this, it's safe to say that each and every one of you, including Rukia now got the same equivariant of making Vizard/Arrancars without actually becoming them since the boundary cap to your physical and spiritual capabilities got blown the fuck out. Though the change is still there if one desires it.

Either way, while not instantaneous (for story reason as I need time to regular this consistent growth in lieu to the narrative) the growth you all will receive, especially with that hundred ensures that you'll be Toshiro levels of potency/latent ability or Kenpachi's, either or.

But on that note, everyone is going to have the Ichigo/Kenpachi/Early Toshirou syndrome of needing to constantly regulate their Vast Reiryoku through suppressing tools till it has time to mature and stabilize, even Rukia. Less you want to be harmed by this wild fluctuation of power or negatively affect your surroundings.

Seems Aizen's wish of finding people he can stand beside might not be so impossible at the rate this is going.

(Going to be covering training in the next post as due to the rolls this is the perfect chance to build up some bonding and teamwork in light of your new increases.)

In between your typical banter with one another you and your merry band of followers finally made your way into the Urahara shop. Unsurprisingly Ururu and Jinta were fast asleep given how late it was by the time of your arrival. Leaving you under the company of Tessai and Kisuke once he came into the room. Wasting no time at all you quickly explain the case to Kisuke, all while everyone having some relaxing tea and crackers on the side. Even after hearing all of that, he remains level headed despite appearing very relaxed and merely began hypothesizing in his head on the cause.

Afterward, Kisuke went on to examine Ichigo through an assortment of different tools. The process didn’t take too long though it did wear on Ichigo’s patience as he maintains this strange new form of his. Upon finishing his thorough examination, Kisuke immediately explains the strange phenomenon based on his hypothesis. From the looks of it while still in a mortal human body, through the black reiatsu shihakushō coat his body demonstrated characteristics akin to that of a shinigami. Even the black daito sword he manifests held zanpakuto properties.

Like you theorized it was some sort of resonance between Rukia and Ichigo that managed to draw out the shinigami powers lying dormant inside of him. Unlike traditional substitute shinigami where one has to eject the soul from their body to utilize their shinigami powers, Ichigo was able to bypass that limitation through the unique transformation. How this came into being or its true nature was going to take some additional time to decode. In any case, there were still traces of Rukia’s Reiryoku flowing around in fluid motion, serving primarily as the trigger.

Shifting the attention to Rukia Kisuke documented that she was suffering the same kind of effects that Yoruich herself previously underwent. Thankfully having spent the past six years treating Yoruichi, Kisuke devised a means of recovering shinigami powers in light of the Human Realm not as naturally gifted with overflowing reishi as the other realms. At the same time, the method of recovery would take much longer than normal depending on the amount. For Rukia whom would it take a few weeks at worst to absorb enough reishi to regain her powers, it would be several months if not arguably close to half a year to return her to full strength safely.

>>4377015

Almost immediately, Rukia’s Shinigami powers and reiryoku was suddenly restored by an unbelievable degree. So much in fact that Rukia’s Reiryoku continuously skyrocketed as it escalates wildly. Sensing the rapid fluctuation of power flowing from the restoration transference, Tessai immediately made one of his strongest barriers to mitigate the damage. But the surge of power left for a powerful beacon. Rukia found herself on the verge of passing out as her body was overwhelmed by her rapid growth. Causing her to pass out in the process.

Thanks to some quick thinking from Kisuke you and the gang managed to avoid a worst-case scenario. That said, something began to awaken inside not just the three of you (Ichigo, Rukia, and yourself) but the connection went to everyone closest to you. A resonance was flowing as yet again the chain of events that correlated these past six years reawakened a sleeping phenomenon with excessive interest. Unlike Rukia however, you and Ichigo merely felt light-headed and dropped to falling asleep. Leaving Kisuke stumped by the entire event but remaining vigilant at what lies beyond the horizon now.

After sleeping for what felt like forever, you notice that Rukia was still bedridden from the experience. According to Kisuke, the sudden jump in power transference has left her in an unusual state as her body is acclimating to her vast accumulation of raw power in all of its fashions. As such Rukia’s body has undergone a ten-day slumber to adjust to her new growth. As for you and Ichigo, you only ended up having to sleep for a grand total of three days. A total bummer but it couldn’t be helped as you carried on with your everyday life. Luckily Kisuke managed to come up with some sound excuses for you and the rest of the gang.

Strangely as you return to school you would notice that each of your friends all also found themselves collapsing and being in slumber for roughly three to five days. In order, it went from Uryu, Tatsuki, Chad, Orihime, Riruka, Senna, and Kyoko. Even Ururu ended up showing a similar symptom of passing out before seeing spikes in her physical and spiritual capabilities. During this strange period, Kisuke quickly got to work devising suppression devices to help stabilize and balance all of your escalating raw power and accelerated development without periodically passing out for long periods of time.

>>4377019

Nevertheless, by the time Rukia came out of it, it was the start of the weekend yet again. Awakening to a series of strange developments, Rukia found herself feeling rather...discombobulated over the changes. Arising to a body far more developed than initially due to her life on the slums stunting her growth, Rukia felt herself constantly swelling with Reiryoku. As Kisuke foretold everyone in your group, he quickly explains the changes to Rukia in an effective and concrete manner.

Having mixed feelings over her new body, Rukia reluctantly underwent taking the same sealing device to suppress and contain the full bulk of her Reiryoku. At the very least she was relieved to be hearing Sode no Shirayuki’s voice again. Though the experience has left the poor Zanpakuto spirit just as depress and gloomy as Rukia was secretly feeling if not more so. Still, Rukia was left with a rather troubling problem as the stationed officer of Karakura Town. Until she could get herself in check and avoid unwanted attention on herself, Rukia again reluctantly decides on staying in the human world longer than she initially intended.

Being in earshot of the entire conversation you devised a way to turn things around by having Rukia accompanying you to the mountains. Due to your sudden huge spikes in latent ability and raw power be it spiritual or physical, it was suggested by Kisuke that all of you take the time to relearn the basics and get a handled on your newfound gifts and improvements. You made the excuse that since Rukia was the only shinigami around that she should help your gang. Seeing you not taking no for an answer, Rukia accepts your offer….eventually.

We really have to. They just got massive power boosts and have to regulate their power like we do. It's best to let them in the know by this point. ...Plus this can be a nice little trip for the WHOLE gang to bond together.

All according to keikaku.

>>4377646

It took you no time at all to round up the gang one by one for your trip into the mountains. Really the only one that gave you any strife was Uryu and Tatsuki. Even Riruka who was clearly tsundere for you didn’t take a whole lot of coaxing if any at all once you mentioned needing her assistance. Uryu being the stoic loner didn’t exactly do well in crowds thus being a stick in the mud. As for Tatsuki you already knew the song and dance for suddenly dropping the request out of nowhere. Thus resulting in getting a bit of a lecture from your tomboy companion.

Ultimately both would come to your side once you explain the urgency and the overall importance of such an unorthodox roundup. With no further objections, you trek your way on to the quiet mountainsides. The trip itself only took about thirty to forty-five minutes by cycling less than half if any of you seriously sought out to push yourselves to your limits. Such efforts while admirable would ultimately defeat the purpose of the training and bonding program. So you and the gang made sure to keep your pace and tempo in check as you travel.

Eventually, you made it to the mountainside, finding a secluded place where nobody would disturb you and your friends. As luck would have it the location was near a rather large waterfall. A spacious coverage of land surrounded by some solid yet smooth rock, various trees that all gather together, and even some large pillars of rocks by the upper edge of the area. For a natural location, this was rather soundproof in the training exercise. That, of course, didn’t stop you from bringing what appears to be a cute dollhouse container on your side.

After seeing everyone making it to the point of location did you start diving down on having the talk. Uryu, Riruka, and Senna more or less already knew what you were going to say, especially having fought alongside you in middle school. Ichigo, on the other hand, experienced it first hand and having just now fully come into releasing his latent ability was in a similar boat. The only ones who weren’t in the know were Tatsuki, Chad, Orihime, and Kyoko. So carefully yet thoroughly you told them exactly what has happened and what that entails for them.

Chad held some reservations over the matter but still respected the seriousness of the situation. Orihime on the other hand immediately believed you, much to Tatsuki’s shock and concerns. In fact, it was Orihime who defended you by pointing out that you wouldn’t make such a fabricated story as that would take far too much effort on your part. You weren’t sure if she was defending you or insulting you but it was enough to coax Tatsuki into a more tolerating stand. Kyoko on the hand just quietly muses over the sudden news. You weren’t sure if she quickly resigns to her fate or carried an aura of skepticism underneath her blank demure.

Nevertheless, you begin to start establishing lots between everyone to pick for training partners. Even though Chad, Tatsuki, and Orihime didn’t manifest any signs of having actual powers, you couldn’t rule out the possibility of them pulling an Ichigo and having fully developed powers hibernating in solitude. The rest of the gang who already held semblances of powers was completely thrown off their game by the massive spikes of raw power and drastic changes in their performances. You weren’t any better but having spent six years being thoroughly pounded the basics, you could bounce back far quicker than the others.

In any case, once you finished making up the lots by marking numbers from one to nine on some carved wooden sticks, you stretched out your hand. In your hand lies the drawing lots as each of your friends start to grab them one by one. Riruka was set on maintaining the enclosed spaces with her dollhouse ability for each team to train under without disrupting the area. So she wasn’t drawing any of the lots. Truthfully you could’ve done all of this under Kisuke’s shop but you didn’t want to put anymore burden on him than you already were.

>Who do you pick to join you under training (Choose Two)

>Ichigo Kurosaki
>Orihime Inoue
>Uryu Ishida
>Yasutora Sado
>Tatsuki Arisawa
>Rukia Kuchiki
>Kyoko Haida
>Kazumi Sato
>Share the burden and pick Riruka as well (need a d100 roll for this but it won’t count to the limit)

This wave one for the training as I will be covering knowing the upper limit in the next post. But a general understanding is that each of you sways between vice-captain to newborn captains in terms of raw Reiryoku and power based on fluctuations. Making control all the harder.

We're in the timeline where Chad lives up to the hype and doesn't serve as the Wulf target.

>>4379384

“Well look at that, it seems we have our teams picked out for the first wave then.” You announce, looking at your number being the number four. As a result, you were paired up with Kazumi and Tatsuki. Across your vision parameters shows Orihime immediately drifting over to Kyoko and Yasutora before showing her friendliness to her soon to be training partners. Part of you could tell that Orihime also wanted to join up with Ichigo and Tatsuki but she didn’t make a fuss about it. A rather mature train of thought for someone everyone assumes was a ditzy airhead.

Breaking the silent gather Ichigo quickly taps his finger against his stick, knowing that it was Number One. He was the type that hates puns based around his name. Ironic considering that he wore clothing based on that, quite possibly due to his mother being the one who picks it out. From what you can tell it seems that Ichigo was pared up with Rukia and Uryu of all people. Immediately it came to you why Ichigo would quickly turn into quite a sourpuss as Riruka meanwhile sat out the drawing off lots by sitting on a log and listening to some music.

“Do we have to go with these choices Haru? I rather not be paired up with Ishida. He’ll be a real stick in the mud and waste precious time being so meticulous. ”Ichigo complains, earning the attention of everyone as they gave various differences of looks.

Rukia was sighing in exasperation, Orihime awkwardly laughs, Yasutora merely turns his head in embarrassment, Tatsuki pinching her eyebrows in mid facepalm, Kyoko didn’t bat an eye as she remains stone-cold in her blank expression, Riruka was restive since it was her idea and Senna was stuck calming the tsundere from breaking from her spot to throw something at Ichigo. Granted Senna also held a disapproving snark to her expression. Leaving you to not be put off by any of this with your nonchalantly smile. Before you got the chance to try and temper Ichigo, Uryu surprises you by stepping in.

“My thoughts exactly Kurosaki. Someone as crude and simple-minded as you is a chore dealing with at school already. But from what I heard from Haru that you don’t even know how to use your powers properly. To call you my fellow Quincy would be an insult to the legacy with how brutish your movements are.” Uryu bluntly says, pushing his glasses up while keeping a sharp glare at Ichigo.

“...What was that?” Ichigo asks, annoyance turning into irritation which soon would blossom into anger as he stands his ground against Uryu. “I think I did pretty well for someone self-taught in the heat of the moment. Not everyone has people they could fall back on for learning this kind of stuff.”

>>4379928

Knowing where Ichigo was going at due to the state of his parents, Uryu refuses to deliver such a low blow to him in that regard. Still, he wouldn’t let up with his criticism as he continues.“Would you like me to demonstrate it to you first hand how a real Quincy fights?” Uryu offers, almost sounding openly condescending despite offering to assist Ichigo. “I know you’re rather slow to pick such things up so I’ll be sure to show you proper finesse...by pummelling it into your body….thoroughly.”

“Gladly you pompous pencil-neck brainiac. Just cause you have a head start doesn’t mean you’re all that special, much less good than me. If you happen to forget out of all of us here I have the highest Reiryoku and latent ability. Really you should be thanking your stars” Ichigo criticizes

“While I’ll admit that there’s truth to your words, Quincys don’t particularly care about Reiryoku or one’s latent ability. Our strength comes from being resourceful and flexible since our power comes from our surroundings. So all that excess Reiryoku won’t do you any good if you don’t have any finesse and/or control. If anything you’ll just end up repelling the precious reishi away with your sloppy leakage of reiatsu and waste more effort gathering than necessary.” Uryu coldly explains, shooting Ichigo down on his previous praise. In terms of Quincys, Ichigo was completely orthodox from how he fights to the weapon of choice. Effectively upsetting the traditionalist as he took exceptional pride in his heritage.

“Really, even a simpleton with an ounce of self-awareness knows how much your absurd reiryoku has dulled your senses, especially that of the Reikaku. It’s almost alarming that you can go around carelessly spiling it out without realizing that such a condition will ultimately cause those around you to also develop spiritual powers.”

“How about I show you just how dull my senses and skills really are.” With the flick of the wrist, Ichigo manifests his reiatsu around himself.

Quickly reshaping the dense pressure into a concrete image of alteration of the shinigami attire as Ichigo’s shihakushō resembled more of a long, amorphous black overcoat with a burgundy highlight that flares out into ragged ends. Underneath was a tattered white dress shirt different from the typical white hakama-himo, with an upturned collar and cuffs, black hakama pants, and low-heeled boots. Essentially a European style of the shinigami attire. In just his second transformation he already has gotten more accustomed to manifesting his shinigami powers through his Quincy blood. And to do with near-perfect timing and efficiency was nothing short of a genius.

In response to this, Uryu arched out his hand quickly drawing out the reishi in the surrounding area in lighting speed. In his hand soon manifests a highly detailed metallic white Heilig Bogen with light blue Reishi accents. The longbow for its impressive length also seems to doubles as a sword, specifically that of a longsword given its sharp ends. Although Uryu would simply consider that a mere coincidence despite the clearcut rivalry between him and Ichigo’s Spirit Weapons as they were both deceptively appeared as real weapons. Black daito, white bow, both these spirit weapons began to resonate with one another as tensions rise between Ichigo and Uryu.

Before things got out of hand, Rukia immediately put herself between the two boys before dropping her reiatsu in intimidation fashion.“Will you two knuckleheads knock it off. We’re not here to compare your skills or abilities. The entire point of the trip was to get everyone under wraps so incidents like what Mr. Ishida mentioned won’t happen. As well as hopefully give you problem children the means to defend yourself as you’re all beacons for hollows to show up and devour not just you but those around you as well.” Rukia lectures both Uryu and Ichigo, spreading her attention to everyone in mid-conversation before turning back to Ichigo. Sharply glaring at him before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

“So put a sock in it and deal with whom you got as a training partner. This is also supposed to be how we work on developing our camaraderie.”

Blinking a bit at her in shock, Ichigo quickly bounces back with his trademark scowl. “Fine, I get it.”

Seeing Ichigo accepting her words, Rukia’s sharp glare soon turned to Uryu who also started to sweat a bit from the ice-cold presence that she was given off. It was as if she was the personification of absolute zero, further illustrating her no-nonsense demeanor. Even Kyoko had to take a moment out of her solitary stoicism to emote genuine shock and awe at Rukia. Makes sense that the oldest one out of the group would quickly command such respect in such a short time. It was enough to get you shivering down to your bone as you watch the standoff between Rukia and Uryu continue.

“I understand, Ms. Kuchiki.” Uryu reluctantly apologizes as Rukia drops her reiatsu and resume a softspoken smile.

“Thank you for that insightful speech, Ruki” You smile, patting her on the head. Resulting in her being genuinely confused at the sudden nickname “Ruki”. Senna quickly whispers to Rukia about your habit of giving people nicknames, typically shorten abbreviations of their first or last names with the sole exception of Chad. Rukia just decides to go with it rather than rile up the group anymore after that spectacle.

>>4379991

“Now then as you see we’ve all been partnered up due to the drawing of lots, but I have a feeling this is probably the best team up for the first phase. Ichigo, you have inside of you both Quincy and Shinigami powers, so it’s ideal to learn from two experts on the subject so you can figure out which one is your strongest element and how to incorporate the other in a fluid matter. Uryu, I’m pretty sure you already figured it out but you’re too narrowminded and old fashion. You could use a little pushing out of your comfort zone and broadening your horizon. I can tell you right now you probably never had to deal with such an increase like this before so you need to adapt your preferred method of fighting and attune yourself to your newfound enhancements less you’ll never get any better.” Feeding medicine with honey rather than vinegar you begin to explain the importance of the team up while highlighting the problems of said individuals. Given your easygoing nature, it only made those words carry more weight as Ichigo and Uryu reluctantly listen to your sage wisdom.

“Ms. Kuchiki is joining you to keep an eye on you two while she trains herself in a similar manner to my explanation for you. As for Hime and Chad, both of you haven’t exactly unlocked your abilities, so we can’t exactly plan our schedule accordingly. That’s why it’s a good thing both of you ended up together with Yoko. Her keen observation and sharp analytical skills make her the prime subject to be your mentor and figure out the ins and outs to your abilities. For Yoko, this is a perfect chance to branch out and open up more to her classmates rather than continue being the solidarity cool beauty that everyone pictures yourself as.”

“Yeah, that makes sense. We don’t really have any basis to work off on manifesting powers. Anyway, looking forward to working with you two.” Orihime chimes, smiling both at Kyoko and Yasutora.

“Mm, sounds good.”Yasutora nods, giving a thumbs up to Orihime.

“No problems here. I promise both of you that I’ll find the inner workings of your abilities and help you catch up with everyone.” Kyoko whisper, turning the page from her book before staring closely at her partners.

“Okay, things seem to settle down now. But I’m curious since you did everyone else, where does that leave our team?” Tatsuki asks, putting her hands on her hips as she leans over to look at you.

Right off the bat, you were given a rather hard question to answer. Truthfully you’re well aware of what the true nature of Tatsuki Arisawa’s powers is. After all, you were the sole donator for them in the first place. You weren’t sure when exactly did it happen. The most likely cause was perhaps during your trip to the graveyard. Either way, that incident where you awakened Nahtigalou and unlocked your spiritual awareness, subconsciously the other half of your powers imprinted onto Tatsuki. Whether it was tied to your childish desire of proving to Tatsuki ghosts exist or giving her the means to stand beside you and Ichigo was inconclusive.

The Phoenix and the Dragon that’s what best describes the relationship between your Bount powers and the kami-esque dragon powers called Ryōjin (龍神, "dragon god"). Both of which seem too stern from the same origin of residing in the original singular world. Neither of which you held much information towards. There were people around who could teach you how to be a quincy, a shinigami, a human, or even a hollow if you were daring enough. Unfortunately, there was nobody around you who could teach you how to be a Bount or a Dragon. Thus you had to learn from instinct or through the embodiments Nahtigalou and Jammerwoch in meditation.

Deciding to be frank with your childhood friend, you immediately switch back to your laidback and cheery tone. Though Orihime, Uryu, Rukia, and Kyoko notice the subtle shifts in tempo. “Simple Tatsu, I’d thought you would know me by now. I’m almost hurt. Our combination is probably the best one out of all of us. Zumi here has shinigami powers, like Ichigo I’ve been granted shinigami powers by three different sources, one of which came from Zumi herself. Although all three have restored their once depleting shinigami powers, it doesn’t change the fact their donations still reside inside of me. It’ll be criminal to not use them in any way, kind of like Ichi with his Quincy abilities. “

In between some light teasing, you brace yourself for the drop as you make a solemn smile. “As for you, it’s because your powers well...they came from me.”

“What do you mean by that…” Tatsuki paused, picking up on something serious about to come as she begins figuring out the ramifications and implications.

>>4381137

“According to what Kisuke told me you’re essentially a Draconian (竜人 (ドラコーニアン), Dorakonīan; Japanese for "Dragon Person") which is basically Dragon-Possessed individual. I’m human but my powers don’t fall exactly in line with the characteristics of high spec humans otherwise called Psysis (魂の (プシシズ), Saishizu; originating from the Greek, ti̱s psychí̱s, meaning "of the soul, spiritual"). I only recently found out half of my power origin comes from these supernatural creatures called dragons. They’re kind of like the hollows but their source of power comes from their horns which manifests their emotions born from their hearts kind of like hollows with their masks. “You explain softly and clearly.

“That doesn’t make a lick of sense, Haruto. I haven’t demonstrated any power outside Spiritual Awareness and an uncanny resistance/resilience. Don’t you think if I was a Draconian or whatever you call were dragons, I’d show signs? Like breathing fire or sprouting scales.”

“Well, Tatsuki you do act like a dragon at times.”Orihime chimes, earning the snickering from several members of the gang. The fact that Orihime hit the mark sharply only makes the imagination of a dragon Tatsuki stick deeply within their minds.

“Orihime. Don’t try and help make the situation worse.” Tatsuki insists, almost giving a stink eye to the peanut gallery. Quickly shutting them up with a glance, Tatsuki turns her head back to you. “Back to answering my question. You guys talk about how uncontrollable leakage of Reiryoku can spark one to become spiritually aware and develop powers based on the source, and while I might kinda understand where you’re coming from after you telling us that this entire town is one big jūreichi (重霊地, Important Spirit Ground) on the way here. But I still don’t see how me being around you ultimately lead to me having dragon powers.”

“Well...how did you exactly managed to see ghosts?” Immediately picking up on your implication, Tatsuki’s face starts to sharpen as she was rendered speechless. Several of the more perceptive people of the group immediately understanding what you were about to explain. “Exactly, just like what Yuu (Uryu) explained, it’s my inexperience with my power that imprinted onto you Tatsu. Drawing out your own latent ability while merging together into a new form of power. But because of the danger at the time, we had to seal that draconic essence into a blade, an Asauchi to be exact. Of course, you couldn’t remember the event at the time due to Kisuke’s treatment. “

>>4381139

> 82 (78, 75, 74)

Raising your arm out you managed to invoke a summoning. Däl (幽鬼喰い刀(ダル) daru; German for Doll, Japanese for Soul Eating Sword) was the primary tool of the Bount aspect of your soul. A representation of the power within a Bount similar to how a Zanpakutō is the physical representation of the power within a Shinigami but with noticeable differences. Originally only able to summon Nighty or Jabba later down the line, you learned through the usage of Andacht to create different types of Doll-like entities for specific purposes. Usually born to complete short term goals, these dolls share some consciousness as they act more like a worker bee or ant to a hivemind.

Kisuke and the others compared the process akin to making Gikongan, born from the unique talent of Kirio Hikifune who can use Soul-Separation. Although self-explanatory it can do more than merely separate portions of the soul and manifest into another being. An example of application is imbuing materials and substances to influence their properties and characteristics, commonly augmenting them and empowering whatever that comes into contact. It’s been accepted that this was the reason Nighty and Jabba are able to fully materialize into the physical realm for interminable amounts of time with no strain on your part. How you learned such a trick was currently unknown.

In any case, manifesting from your hand was a small red wyvern. The sentient creature let out a small cry before flying off from your hand straight towards Tatsuki. Orihime gave a somber look as she wanted to touch the cute wyvern. A similar sentiment was shared by Riruka but she quickly repressed such feelings to return to her tsundere defenses. Kyoko briefly glanced at it before turning back to her book, and Rukia was awestruck by how cute it looks. The guys on the other hand simply watched with disinterest as it flew to Tatsuki. Upon arriving did it start to resonate with her.

“I was going to tell you about it once you have gotten strong enough to handle the burden of housing such powers and if they were something you really wanted. After all, a dragon while different is still rooted in that same general Reikyōmei (霊共鳴; Spirit Resonance ) of a hollow. “ You alert Tatsuki as the wyvern nestle itself against Tatsuki’s neck, waiting for her choice.

“...I see. Well then.” As she mutters those words, Tatsuki pets the wyvern, allowing it to sink into her soul.

Almost as a chain of seals went off sparked a massive resurgence of reiryoku from Tatsuki. Dense spiritual pressure surges from the black-haired woman, choosing to manifest itself in the appearance of a giant western style dragon. The color of the reiatsu was that of an orange-red hue, giving the impression of flames given their powerful heat signature and energy. The amass of reiatsu as quickly as it appeared immediately start shrinking itself into what appears to be a kodachi blade contained in a red sheath.

“Burn the earth, and rattle the skies! (Chikyū o moyasu to sora o garagara, 地球を燃やすと空をガラガラ) Tatsumaki ((龍巻き; “Dragon’s Tempest”)!” Upon saying the command, Tatsuki intuitively brushes the sword against her elbow, sparking friction as her flesh didn’t bleed or show any damage. All it did was manifest a crimson orange flame onto the blade as it quickly swept up Tatsuki completely in a roaring tempest of flames.

Before anyone could react in time to the sudden emergence of the flames, a swift hand cuts through them like it was butter. Emerging from the flames was Tatsuki but far different than what you expected. Like Rukia, she was sprouting a more developed physique as her eyes turned into a clear purple shade, the pupils shaped like that of a dragon’s. Her spikey short hair growing out to resemble a double braid low ponytail style with traces of her spiker hair persisting in this smoothed-out style. Two dragon-like horns stick out of the side her head, though they also deceptively resemble that of a cat’s.

Her previous attire was no more as Tatsuki was wearing a one-piece leotard with her midriff and back fully exposed. Around her hips was a six-petal flower-shaped buckle holding what appears to be a white tasset cloak though you feel like calling the drapes a “butt cloak”.Matching white sleeves covered her arms, doubling as tekkou gauntlets Around her legs were blackish-blue garter stockings with two white feather-like guards around the upper thigh. Her other draconic traits are retractable as they currently reside underneath her body when not in usage. As for her sword, it was currently missing in action.

Immediately Tatsuki focused her eyes towards you as she starts stomping forward.

A different spin on what Kubo initially intended given the artbook for Shinigami Tatsuki. While I'm more to incline to call this a Shini-Dragon hybrid, it's not wrong to say that this is very similar to Tousen. A feat that was only doable with those chain of 70+ rolls in addition to the initial 82 netting uch a big bonus for a turn of events.

At least this reaffirms that every one of the gang is a special snowflake with you and Ichigo being conglomerates though Ichigo is a natural-born while you been succing out other sources due to your dol in patchwork fashion.

And here's one not for ants.

Bounts (結魔族(バウント)Baunto; Japanese for Bounded Supernatural Beings/Devils)

Dragons (龍神(ドラゴン)Doragon; Japanese for Dragon God)

Throwing these out there cause the original source material didn't bother trying to fit with the establishment of naming schemes for bleach.

So to recap

>Ichigo Kurosaki - Natural Hybrid, Quincy base
>Orihime Inoue - High Spec Human (Psysis)
>Uryu Ishida - Quincy (Originally Gemischt but reborn into an Echt Quincy)
>Yasutora Sado - Augmented Fullbringer (Hollow Influenced)
>Tatsuki Arisawa - Draconian (Shini-Dragon/hollow hybrid)
>Rukia Kuchiki - Shinigami+
>Kyoko Haida - ????
>Kazumi Sato - Shinigami/????
>Riruka Dokugamine - Augmented Fullbringer (Shinigami Influenced [e.g Ginjou])

If she's not about to rip our head off, we get a nice little moment. If she IS about to rip our head off, we get a nice little moment and we disrupt her rhythm. Then we can conduct our training by taking Jabba out for some dragon-on-dragon action.

Casually looking against the ground you saw something strange. Physically Tatsuki looks not that different compared to her default appearance. Yet you got this impression that there was more to her appearance than meets the eye. From the ambiance to the way she moves your senses pick up on the subtle hints. Right down to the tiniest of tic it gave way to a resembling the same ferocious typically found in dragons. Considering what you gave was a wyvern it’s all the more surprising the sudden jump in quality and characteristics. If anything it was as if you were staring at an overwhelming beast…not unlike that of Jabba or Nighty.

What was strangest was how much her appearance belies her apparent ridiculous specs. Even as something as weight and density was deceptively hiding in plain sight as it looks like nothing has changed. When in reality the fact she was making light tremors from her steps, sinking her feet onto the ground to the degree of causing an upheaval. Dirt was spilling out in noticeable quantities, at worst leaving a noticeable dent in the shape of a dragon’s talons. Yet she shows no signs of being weighted down or losing any mobility in her current state. As if her body already developing the means of fully utilizing the overwhelming raw power residing in her.

Now Ichigo and yourself were known to possess tremendously vast levels of spiritual energy even back in your youth. Kisuke documented it being well beyond most other forms of souls such as average shinigami or hollows. While Ichigo’s spiritual power was denser than yours you balanced it out by being more fluid and malleable like the wind. From what you could pick up from Tatsuki it feels as if it was an amalgamation between the two dualities. Boiling it down to a case of might versus finesse as it best describes the dynamic between you and Ichigo. A phenomenon that only begins to make sense as you recall Kisuke’s explanation.

Enduring such dense and heavy spiritual pressure for so long in addition to being fully exposed to the spiritual energy would’ve naturally brought adverse effects. Yet not only didn’t she show any signs but in fact, her composition was dozens of times greater than the average spiritually aware human. If anything it only further strengthens Tatsuki’s resolve as subconsciously she refused to be left behind or confined herself to the role of a burden. Try as she hardest to hide this aspect of herself, you knew deep down Tatsuki was someone who hated losing more than anything. So with that, it only makes sense that it would manifest in this kind of way too.

>>4382510

Refusing to yield and crumble to the dual sources ended up serving as the perfect training regiment to nurture her own latent ability. Stress testing it to the wringer from the dense reiatsu leakage and residual reishi until her body and soul fully adapted and acclimated to the overwhelming ambiance/atmosphere. Endurance, Resilience, Grit, Perseverance, all manner of resistance, and durability resonated deeply with this teenage girl. Embodying a true dragon it seems she developed a means to use her own spiritual power and energy through compression to drastically improving every facet of her physical abilities.

In spite of all of this, you merely stand your ground. Easing up under Tatsuki’s overwhelmingly supernatural charisma and eloquence in a casual standoff. Followed by giving what appears to be a genuine smile, you looked up to Tatsuki right in the eye while keeping your chill demeanor.

“Wow Tatsu, looking pretty cool right there. Really empathizes the phrase well if you can't be yourself, be a Dragon, I say.”

“Should’ve known that’s what you would say.” Tatsuki curtly comments before sighing. Followed by putting two of her front fingers hoving against your forehead. Emitting from them was an orange outline of what appears to be dragon claws posing themselves centimeters from your forehead. A serious look emits from Tatsuki, pupils still in their dragon-like state. “I’ll prove it to you that I’m more than strong enough to handle the burden. When this is over, you and I are going to have a long talk about keeping secrets to your pals and reaffirming where you and I stand. Got it, Haru?”

“Yeah, sorry.” You respond, making an even bigger grin on your dopey face. In truth, you were already reading in between the lines.

>>4379493
>>4379421
>>4382511

Drawing back your relationship back to the age of four, you could already read Tatsuki’s mood. Despite appearing calm, she was naturally upset about the entire thing. Not that you being the sore reason for her mutated inherent abilities, but rather keeping the whole fiasco a secret to her. Almost as if you thought she wouldn’t be able to handle the truth and accept the whole ramifications. Even if it was Kisuke’s idea in order to preserve the semblance of a normal life until that faithful day, it was ultimately you who accepted the terms. Thus the responsibility fell entirely on you.

“Good, then I’ll leave the motion of actually smacking to training.” With that Tatsuki starts to walk away from you, rotating her arm as she walks over to converse with Orihime and Senna.

“..I think she’s mad at you Haruto.” Appearing on cue moments after being left to your own devices was the gentle giant himself.

“Yes, Chad...I can see that. But it can’t be helped. Learning that most of her friends have been fighting monsters behind her back and keeping secrets even if it was to protect her would only end up doing the opposite effect. Hence the bruising of her ego. It’s better to be open about it now and make amends rather than try to make a white lie or half-truth.” You remark, putting your hands behind your back before looking up to the sky.

“I suppose so. I can’t say that I don’t relate after hearing about all of this. “ Yasutora muses as he almost lost in thought. Like Tatsuki, there was a deep sense of unsettlement coming from Yasutora. While he hasn’t known you or Ichigo nearly as long, there was still a strong sense of camaraderie between the three of you.

Staring closely at his right arm, Yasutora firmly grapes it with his left. The image of his
Abuelo running deep in his mind following the back to back coordination and teamwork between you, Ichigo, and himself. These feelings gave a sense of pride in him. A pride too strong and unwavering to lend itself to lamenting in anguish and sorrow. As these feelings run rampant, sharp pulsations brush acrosses Yasutora’s arm. Quickly manifesting from the skin was a black goop like substance. Warping itself against the entire arm it morphs into a blackened armor with a wing-like shoulder fin.

>>4382514

Staring a bit at his new arm, Yasutora simply gives a thumbs up to everyone as he wasn’t bothered by the change. Leaving the remaining members awestruck by the sudden transformations of Yasutora in addition to Tatsuki. Almost as one resonated and brought up the very best in the other and vice versa. There was clearly a link between the two, but what was it remains to be the million-dollar question. Thinking about it closely, your Reikaku started to make you more aware of the changes. It wasn’t just those two as Ichigo, Uryu, Senna, Riruka, Kyoko and even Rukia were showing signs of improvement. The only one whom yet to awaken to the call was the princess herself...Orihime Inoue.

”Rather than getting upset about what I was incapable of doing in the past. I’ll instead make up for the lost time and catch up to you and Ichigo. So we can continue to keep watching each other’s backs.” Leaving on that note, Yasutora marches over to his team. You were rendered speechless by the chad stride as it sends a shiver down your whole body.

Softly ushering out another smile, you brush your reddish locks as a weight was finally removed from your shoulders. “Yeah, you’re absolutely right. Thanks for having our back Chad.”

“Hold it right there! Aren’t you forgetting something?” Riruka interjected, disrupting the feel-good moment with a loud “Humph”. Followed by folding her arms and sharply stare it was hard ignoring the constant vibes she was sending as she stood behind you. Around her side was the series of dollhouses that she brought with her in a special compartment provided by Kisuke.

“Ah right forgive me. Thank you for your services Lady Riru. We are most humbled by your grace to have you assisting with our training by-” Quickly kneeling to Riruka you shift into taking the role of the dapper gentleman ready to wait on hand and foot to the dainty mistress. The fact you were taking this seriously with poise and grace only made the sudden shift all the more perplexing for all.

>>4382515

“Not that you idiot!” Riruka screams. Her face was as red as her magenta hair, essentially highlighting the flustered emotion gushing out. As she tries to calm down, she turns her head slightly in your direction before fidgeting her fingertips together. “T-Though, I won’t mind if you continue to praise me and acknowledge the importance of my presence. Unlike the rest of you, I knew about my power since the day I was four. Not to mention my Fullbring is suited giving you the perfect location to training to your heart’s contents without fear of alerting any unwanted attention.”

“Question if I may? Rukia interjects as she draws everyone’s attention. “If the actual training is going to take in place in these enclosed spaces...why exactly did we need to hike up into the mountains?”

“Humph! I can see why you’re unable to see the big picture. It’s because while dollhouse keeps the actions and effects of one’s abilities self-contained within the dimensional space within the container or object I insert you into, it doesn’t eliminate the spiritual signatures that you give off. So even if we did it somewhere like that hat and clogs guy’s shop, it’ll invite trouble. Do try to be aware.” Riruka laughs, brushing her twintails in confidence while keeping her free hand against her hips.

“So what you’re saying is that since your powers have been augmented, you’re not sure that you can use your Fullbring like your used to. Thus if you fail then we can just continue training here until you can manage it.” Rukia bluntly theorizes with an astonished grin.

Twitching in annoyance did a series of blood vessels form around Riruka’s forehead, forming a cross shape anger mark. Her hands twitching from her unbridled rage.“....Hoooe...is that what you think? That I, Riruka Dokugamine cannot use the power born from my love exactly how I intended. You got some nerve to instigate that. Here I thought you were cute but I’m starting to not like you.”

Kubo is hacking 4chan to rig our dice rolls

>it doesn’t eliminate the spiritual signatures that you give off. So even if we did it somewhere like that hat and clogs guy’s shop, it’ll invite trouble
Ooooh. We’re gonna get attacked by Aizen’s hollow lackeys aren’t we?

Why is every Bleach Quest like this.

>>4371576
Hey OP. I heard you were using Bo3 percentages in your Bo5 quest. I went ahead and made an updated version for you.

They were actually calculated for Bo3. I took the liberty of updating them for Bo5.

Here you go:

Pass rate for roll over:

DC 10 - 99.9994%

DC 20 - 99.9752%

DC 30 - 99.7949%

DC 40 - 99.0978%

DC 50 - 97.1752%

DC 60 - 92.8508%

DC 70 - 84.3597%

DC 80 - 69.2294%

DC 90 - 44.1594%

DC 100 - 4.901%

btw what did you guys think mitigated meant?

>>4383321
Friendly reminder that the dice aren't truly random. And that percentages don't matter with the ludicrous way rolls tend to fall. Good hustle though.

>>4383394
Why put percentages in the document if they don't matter?

>>4383396
Because numbers are cool. Don't ask me man. All I'm saying is that anyone who has been here long enough knows the dice are capricious and unusual things.

>>4383394
Nothing is truly random. The dice are close enough that these percentages give a good idea of the odds.

Are you really complaining about ludicrous dice failures in a quest that has yet to fail a single roll?

>>4382845

(Doing Orihime's transformation in another post as this is important character refinement and may change the course of everything.)

“Oh don’t worry, I can say with the utmost confidence that the feeling is quite mutual.” Rukia curtly replied, further earning Riruka’s antagonizing glare.

Sensing the tension between the two you nonchalantly trailed off back to your team. Judging from the predicament it was about time that you return to your training. On cue Riruka manages to separate the groups via Dollhouse in mid-bickering. Even now you still couldn’t get used to the sensation that came with Riruka’s fullbring. Then again, having your entire being extracted and inserted into another space in such a bizarre manner would be hard for even the most hardboiled of people to get used to.

According to Riruka and Kisuke, Fullbringers are spiritually-aware Humans born with the eponymous ability Fullbring, which allows them to manipulate the souls that reside in all Kishi aka physical matter. They are granted this power through remnants of a hollow’s spiritual power, but in truth, it comes from the piece of the soul king. Any information about the Soul King was extremely limited as Kisuke only told you that it was the linchpin of reality. Aside from that, it seems those pieces are what attract hollows to attack a Fullbringer before birth. Awakening their dormant powers while infusing them with Hollow-like essence simultaneously.

Riruka was no exception to the rule as like all Fullbringers they have. In order to use their abilities to the fullest for extended periods, they generally training their physical stamina and endurance to great lengths. All to alleviate the strain that comes with abilities meant for spiritual beings as they properly manage them. You who was a Bount and Uryu who was a Quincy share the same restriction. Even Tatsuki with her Dragon powers must feel the same though between her, Ichigo and Chad, it’s hard thinking that they could even feel the stress. Tatsuki especially as if nothing else she was known for her persistent tenacity.

Like a pampered child Riruka was abrasive towards the act of training. Well, more specifically the kind of training the rest of you was suggesting. Even as a child, Riruka had unorthodox means of developing her fullbring. Attributing the whole thing as the strength of her “love”. Initially, she could only use her Fullbring “Dollhouse” on anything she adores or finds cute,
anything that she adores or finds cute but through your influence in middle school Riruka has long since overcome that stipulation. Still, she finds it far easier to draw out the maximum power and efficiency of her Fullbring and those affected by it through her original stipulation.

>>4384081

Whether if that was true or just a case of Riruka’s selfish brat nature you couldn’t say. In any case once inside the boxed containers did you and the rest of the gang began your training. Immediately off the bat, you summoned Jabba to duke it out with Tatsuki and Senna. There were many different means of training, but the main objective was two versus one fights with different opponents or a battle royal to build up bonds and memorize everyone’s patterns for future setup such as team attacks. Synchronization was the key factor in harmonization, something you know better than anyone, especially given your powers.

The goal was matching the rhythm and tempo of one another for better teamwork. Ideally, the aim was reaching the point of making split seconds decisions without communicating. All while retaining a sharp and crisp level of efficiency. To do it consciously was a strenuous effort alone, but to manage it subconsciously was even harder. You didn’t expect such a thing to be done in a single day. Yet given how well everyone was training in their own way, it wasn’t such a foregone conclusion after all. You weren’t sure what was the cause but everyone was bringing out their A-game and going beyond it simultaneously.

From the assessment back at Kisuke’s place you learned that everyone held formidable levels of latent ability and untapped potential. Given the spiritual power and energy your friends carried, it was hard to press the notion that they are humans. Thus the main go aside from building up teamwork was to get them to know the inner workings and limitations of their powers. Only by learning and mastering the basics could one then go into the more advanced lesson tree. As someone who was thoroughly taught this by Kisuke, Tessai, and Yoruichi it stands to reason that you strive for this for everyone. But even you didn’t factor how fast or how potent everyone’s progress ended up becoming.

In a single period, all of you managed to make substantial keeps in your abilities. The most frightening ones were Ichigo, Chad, and Tatsuki. Even after having the six years of experience and wisdom, those three managed to quickly close the gap with their intuition and battle sense. Unsurprisingly when you think about it since the three of them have been fighting since they were little children. You and Uryu barely managed to defeat Ichigo and Tatsuki thanks to that hard-earned experience. The silver lining was that being pushed to such extremes only furthered elevated you to a higher plateau.

>>4384082

Everyone was making exceptional if not absurdly monstrous progress...all except one. When it came time for lunch Riruka undid the transformation and brought everyone back to the physical world. In hindsight, it was a remarkably good thing that you held the foresight to train in Riruka’s containers. Both to better draw out everyone’s full potential while training Riruka’s powers but most importantly the damage made from all of the gang’s extreme exertion of spiritual pressure and energy would’ve sent red flags immediately. Not to mention greatly tear the terrain asunder, and ultimately defeating the point of training in the middle of nowhere.

As you let out a loud yawn from feeling the pressure of sparing with Tatsuki, your eyes look towards Orihime. She was sitting by herself with a smile. But knowing Orihime you saw there was a sad look in her eyes. Sensing your concern for the Princess, Kyoko quickly explains the situation to you in private. From Kyoko’s analysis, it seems Orihime couldn’t manifest the full strength of her powers no matter how hard she tries. Barely did she manage to get out a semblance of sentient fairies but their form didn’t last long and Orihime crumbled every time she tries using their powers. The complete opposite of Yasutora.

Yasutora was showing so much unbelievable raw power that even Riruka had to step in helping Kyoko with the task of training. So in a way Riruka got additional train combating that walking calamity that you knew as the gentle giant. Originally Riruka needed to use a device known as a love gun to combat opponents which allowed her to use her fullbring to control the size and power of those that she inserts and/or more commonly expel out from the liquid. But recently Riruka learned how to use the full function of her gun without it, even materializing it out of her powers. In fact, Riruka strangely learned a lot of different applications of her powers, including altering her size. Earning the nickname “White Rabbit” given how Wonderland-ish her powers became.

Compared to everyone who was developed at ludicrous speeds, Orihime was the one who hit a major roadblock on her development. And that was clearly what was eating at her. It was clear from Kyoko’s explanation that Orihime didn’t have it in herself to hurt anyone. There was no sense of anger or any elements commonly found in aspects such as fighting spirit or killing intent. She was a timid and sweet cinnamon bun, kind of like Ichigo was when he was a kid. Though he toughened up due to needing to protect those he cares about, traces of his initial personality that he buries underneath his tough-guy act remains ever strong. In a way, you saw Orihime and Ichigo two sides of the same coin. Had things been different, perhaps they would be sharing opposite roles.

>>4384160

>95 (92, 84)

(For story sake this is affecting everyone in a similar way to keep everyone consistent, but Orihime is getting a major power up all the same. Especially with >>4382887 as the forerunner.)

“Hey hime, I was thinking of taking a walk. Do you mind accompanying me for a little while?” You softly mention to Hime, having already grabbed your lunch on standby. “We can even eat lunch together.”

“Oh um sure, that sounds lovely Haruto.” Blinking in surprise Orihime quickly accepted your offer without question. Going as far as to even show her trademark smile. The fact you could sense the melancholy in her smile only alerted you of the problem.

Just like that you and Orihime quickly started walking hand in tow into the deeper portion of the forest. Riruka gave a sharp, narrow stare as she begins speculating the reason for it. Her suspicions ultimately wrangled by a tag team of Rukia and Senna. Tatsuki shared a similar sense of suspicion but unlike Riruka she didn’t think that you were going to do anything romantic. More likely in her mind, it was going to be something stupid. Ultimately Yasutora had to do some wrangling himself to keep Tatsuki from following you and Orihime. Ichigo and Uryu meanwhile continued their bickering standoff in between replenishing their stamina.

Truthfully the walk was a bit of a half-truth as you did believe a simple stroll would clear one’s mind and remove all manner of distractions. But in reality, you wanted to have a serious discussion with Orihime...alone. There was a time and place for everything and you knew that tackling this problem in private was for the best. You didn’t excel at reading and understanding the atmosphere for nothing. From where you stood there was a lot of pent up tension from Orihime. Even without Kyoko’s brilliant analysis, you could’ve pieced together with the source of her problems through body language alone. But it certainly did speed up the process immensely.

“Now don’t take this the wrong way, but I can feel you off-balanced and radiating a lot of anguish. So I can only assume it’s in correlation to the training.” You bluntly remarked while keeping a sense of self-awareness upon arriving far enough from camp.

Seeing that the cat was out of the bag Orihime gave a nervous laugh before rubbing her head. “Ahehehe...guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you would pick it up. We’re a lot alike when it comes to reading the mood and perceiving someone’s mental and emotional state. Guess I’ll start with the beginning.”

>>4384950

Quickly you and Orihime underwent a long discussion about her pent up insecurities and hangups. Despite knowing the importance of training and understanding the necessity of having the means of eliminating hollows, there was some inhibition over the matter. With her general dislike of combat and hesitance to use lethal force, it wasn’t all that surprising she would fail at this. There was no sense of fighting spirit or battle sense in her, much less killer intent or instincts. Without any of these factors, it was safe to conclude that Orihime wouldn’t be effective as a warrior. But the final nail on the coffin was her timid nature. All the signs point that she wasn’t meant for battle.

Thorough your rigorous training, you know the value of resolve and how hesitation can lead one to falter. Which intern such an act can bring disastrous results depending on the situation. Those who lacked determination are often ones who would stumble and collapse at the heat of battle. Without a steadfast determination, iron resolve, or steel sinews one cannot hope to change the flow of battle to their favor and keep up the pace. In a way, you and Orihime were well alike as you generally used violence as a last resort. Even in battle, you chose for the more humane and merciful tactics, a tribulation of convictions that required immense strength to follow suit.

“And that’s it basically. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. When I see Tatsuki, Chad, Uryu, Ichigo, and all the others giving their all and having no troubles...I feel rather inadequate by comparison. I can’t seem to grasp the concept easily like the others. Maybe I just don’t have what it takes. And the more I think about it, the lonelier I end up feeling and I end up being more ashamed of myself. I don’t want to be a burden to Ichigo or any of my friends. I don’t want to have them keep protecting me and getting hurt as a result. But I don’t know what to do.” Orihime gushes out, practically on the verge of tears.

“Hime.” Closing your eyes and taking a deep breath, you quickly give Orihime a heartfelt hug. “It’s okay. Remember that it’s not a race or a competition. Everyone goes about things at their own pace. Take the crown three for example. Although Uryu, Riruka, Senna, and I have been doing this for the past six years with the occasional assistance from Kyoko. Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Yasutora all managed to quickly make leaps in a couple of hours what took months for us. At the same time, they managed to put what they learned throughout those years into their powers and build up a powerful sympathetic resonance. “

>>4384952

“It’s also not necessarily weak to value life, especially to the point of not wanting to harm others. Having fought hollows myself I know how terrifying they can be. Yet it isn’t fear that grips me, only a heightened sense of things. Fear keeps me aware and conscious of my every action and thought. It makes me thinking constantly about all the possibilities that are within my grasp. Any idiot can make themselves become fearless, usually, it’s no different than being suicidal or reckless. For me, true strength is acknowledging the fear but not letting it control you. Fighting with fear is a stronger testament to one’s strength of character than learning how to fight without it. Fear is a natural response of the body’s instincts and one’s intuition. But let’s address the real root of the problem.”As you explained you gave your shoulder for Orihime to cry upon as your words resonated with her than any medicine or treatment could ever give her.

“See I’m a firm believer that all life is sacred. Because what can equal a living being’s life? Morals and ethics aside, all living creatures have the right to exist. What really gives me the right to take a life. Now I’m not naive enough to not understand the circle of life or when the situation calls for it. But, if I have the option to preserve someone’s life rather than take it and still complete my objective...then why shouldn’t I take it?” You pose the question to Orihime who silently listens in between sobbing.

>>4384955

“Sure, death isn’t the end and there is an afterlife. But I don’t see it as an excuse to commit what is essentially the final abstractly of their original lives. Once killed you can never return to the life you once had. All you can do is move forward. There are only a few things worse than the disrespect of life that doesn’t mesh well with me. All of those things are connected to the balance. But to me, what I can truly never forgive is removing someone from the samsara. To severe’s one’s connection to the cycle of reincarnation or worse erase their very existence are things I will never tolerate, no matter what. ” Despite keeping an immense warmth and a calming serenity, there was a far more serious brilliance glowing in your eyes. Subtly cementing your resolve as spiritual power swells inside from your conviction.


“ That’s why I really like the concept of a zanpakuto. Eliminating hollow isn’t killing them, merely saving them form their suffering on many occasions. And a zanpakuto especially can cleanse the lost souls and return them to the afterlife that is known as the soul society. When looking at that, it makes defeating the hollows and saving others much more simple. It’s easier to train to fight monsters than it is real people. Fighting such adversaries is a much harder hurdle to get through. And I bet everyone shares a similar inner turmoil over how you feel about taking a life. After all, the weight of a person’s life is far heavier than what you can ever imagine.” Trailing your eyes from Orihime, you take a moment to look around your surroundings. From the sky to the ground and everything between, you could clearly see the signature of "souls" residing in every little thing. Pushing you into your relaxed demeanor.

“It’s sort of why I’ve adopted the Ainu way of life into my Ryukyuan religion. Ancient tribes folk like them respect the lives lost to sustain themselves and uses every aspect of them before burying their remains with dignity. The Ryukyuan people especially are taught to respect the relationships between the living, the dead, and the gods and spirits of the natural world. It sounds silly at a first but with how Riri told me how everything has a soul, I’m only more convenience that my mother’s side held some serious wisdom and truth on the matter.”

Also, the roll was to maintain Riruka's Fullbring spatial effects while she goes inside her own dollhouse. So good job, you passed the dc check with this >>4385432 and both you and Riruka improved on your spatial abilities as well as learned some potent tag-team sealing/containment.

“Anyway, what I’m trying to get is that to have such beliefs and viewpoints, you have to be strong to back them up. Without overstraining or pushing to lethal force while still getting the job done shows a world of self-restraint, patience, and pure ability to manage hostile situations. It isn’t an easy path nor do I think I’ll be universally recognized or praised for my seeming pacifism. Especially by hostile adversaries. On the other side, I won’t criticize or judge anyone for their views or ways of life. Morality and prerogative are always never black and white and circumstances require different trains of thought. That said, I won’t tolerate senseless death or violence without a purpose.” Once again there was a serious buried deep in your otherwise cheerful and tranquil tone. Slowly removing yourself from Orihime after seeing she was finished letting it all out you resume sitting next to her as you keep her company.

“When you hurt others, be ready to pay the consequences. Cause I can tell you, they’ll always hurt back in one way or another. “Placing your arms against your knees, you clap your hands together “And regardless of the outcome, you should never forget what you have done, cause I’m sure those people won’t forgive or forget either.”

“Again, pacificism isn’t wrong. It’s choosing to do nothing when you have countless options to tackle the situation and using it as a crutch or an excuse. Evil only triumphs when good men do nothing.”

“I think I understand what you’re trying to tell me. But I’m a little overwhelmed at how philosophical you can be. Almost like you’re a different person from the usual Haru I’ve known.” Orihime interject, feeling a lot better from the tone of her voice as she exchanges banters.

“Really? You think so? Hmm, guess I did put more thought into it than I normally should.” As you reflect on your speech, you ended up scratching the side of your nose. Causing Orihime to laugh at your clueless demeanor before turning her eyes to the sky.

Softly smiling to yourself you turn your attention back to Orihime. “ Listen closely to the words that I’m about to tell you hime and follow my every step. Cause I’m about to share with you what I learned thoroughly these past six years in order to keep my stance despite it being easier to relinquish my beliefs and do the contrary methods.”

“Right. I’ll do my best” Orihime nods.

>>4385878
>>4382887

Wasting no time at you did you begin explaining to Orihime all the different tactics and maneuvers stored in the depths of your mind. Of which ended up surprising Orihime as you gave mountainous loads of different methods that she could utilize that best suited her. Rather than having Orihime change her views completely and adopt a new way of fighting, you instead went to tailor a method of combat best suited for your classmate. From personal experience, it was ultimately better to stay true to yourself and operate on your own terms rather than force yourself to be someone you’re not.

Losing your sense of self is the same as having a lack of convictions or lingering doubts born from a guilty conscience. All of which can cause hesitation which in turn leads to faltering. In a battle having a weakening resolve only brings misfortune. A clouded heart can dampers one’s strength and keep them from reaching their full potential. Stagnation is the bane to every combatant. Thus to combat the limitations and inhibition was the trinity(steadfast determination, iron resolve, and steel sinews) followed by the understanding of Meikyou Shisui (明鏡止水, Meikyō Shisui, lit. Clear Mirror, Still Water). Factors that you carefully took your time in teaching Orihime in between giving her advice.

But the final assistance you gave was lending her your strength and helping her draw out her inner power. A method comprised of your understanding the fullbringer’s ability of “puling” out the soul to bend it to their will, the transference of shinigami powers through a zanpakuto, and the intuitive understanding of Soul Distribution Power, you instinctively "impart" your power onto Orihime while simultaneously stimulating her dormant latent ability into awakening. Having placed your hand against Orihime’s chest and going into a deep trance, you resonate yourself with Orihime, matching the rhythm and tempo of her wavelength in harmony. Pulse, respiration, even your thoughts were in tune with each other, becoming completely one.

Unknowingly, a sympathetic resonance began to form between the two of you as both you gave up resistance. This sudden relinquishment brought forth a rippling effect that starts to spread out throughout the entire mountainside. The stronger synchronization constantly elevating between the two of you manages to create an effect akin to harmonic convergence. The vibration of reiatsu between the two of you constantly went back and forth, doubling itself with each passage as the source of power skyrockets. Yet it seems not only you and Orihime was effective by this sudden phenomenon as other sources began to open up and escalate.

Nevertheless, your mind paid no attention as meticulously you draw out the power within Orihime while keeping yourself from mistakenly relinquishing all of your power. An unnecessary method as the power given away as a loan was instantly replenished as the power just flows into her. Despite the immense overflow coursing from you, a calm stillness emits from your body thus taming the rampant torrent. Replenishing faster than you could give, Orihime found herself being an outlet to the power as her own power was suddenly supercharged by unbelievable amounts. This went far beyond merely awakening her powers as it accelerated their development. But it wasn’t just Orihime receiving the boon as it influences spreads outwards like wildfire in a blinding flash.

Eventually, you would come out of your trance to see the fruits of your labor. What seems like an eternity disappeared just as quickly as it came. A fleeting moment but in its place left a phenomenal impression that continues to reverberate even as we speak. Standing in front of you was the same bubbly airhead that you called your best friend. However, at the same time, it wasn’t her, at least not the way you last remember her. Black tattoo-like markings in the form of flower prints reside against her forearms, wrists, knuckles, ankles, and chest. Taking place of her casual clothing was a black Shihakushō. Complete with a katana like a weapon fashion to her hip.

“Ehm….was that suppose to happen?” Orihime timidly asks, unaware of the changes around her at this very moment. Meanwhile circling above her was the silhouette of six fairy-like spirits.

So if you would roll me 2d100. This time it's your performance against Orihime's as you'll be rolling them both. And since one anon is banned I'll be rolling for him but I will be merciful and not have it count to the limit since I think that's a good compromise.

All signs point towards you being respectfully confused to the point of being discombobulated by this change of event. That would be the case if you didn’t already have previously understand being the source of Tatsuki’s powers. Although actually a draconian she operated just the same as a substitute hollow or arrancar, given the fact of her human/dragon hybridism. Even the fact that having her powers contained in a Zanpakutō pushed her more towards the similarities to an Arrancar. Not to mention the strange vibes you gotten from your other friends, especially that of Kyoko but more on that later. Right now you focused your attention focused back on Orihime.

Here lies in front of you your middle school bestie currently standing in front of you as a shinigami. Of course, right off the bat, you could tell it wasn’t that of traditional shinigami. Normally in order to use the powers of a shinigami one must eject their souls out of their body before operating like any regular shinigami. However, Orihime was still attached to her physical body despite demonstrating the full shinigami attributes and characteristics. Once again sharing similarities with Tatsuki and Ichigo, two people who you also deeply kept in contact with. Quite the perplexing puzzle as you begin to theorize the answer.

Like with Ichigo it seems Orihime has managed to find a way to embed herself with the powers while remaining human. With Ichigo, it was him using his quincy powers as the medium through the ambient reishi mixing with the constant reiatsu emitting from his body to manifest shinigami-properties while still primarily a quincy. Unlike him, it seems that Orihime directly draws out her newborn shinigami powers and tethering them onto her body. Achieving the same effect as Ichigo but in an inverse effect as she isn’t “clad” in her powers. Looking at the tattoos and vertical stripes on her body only further empathize with this fact.

Following on this, you begin to now recall how Kisuke developed the Soul Slayer (霊反響刀(ソウルスレイヤー); Sourusureiyā, Japanese for Soul Resonating Sword) to help speed up Yoruichi’s recovery. In light of restoring a shinigami’s lost powers, the Soul Slayer serves as the medium for one to safely transfers one’s reiryoku into the sword. Storing it inside like a battery but doubling as some sort of cable wire for direct transfer if the Reiryoku wasn’t inserted prior. Whatever the method, in the end, it was a visible means of giving shinigami powers without draining the user of their own shinigami powers. Although less potent than the initial method, the powers given ended up being permanent thus balancing it out.

>>4388463

Thinking about the properties of the blue energy Zanpakuto known as the soul slayer, it all starts to dawn upon you, Residing inside you was shinigami powers from three different sources, Senna, Yoruichi and Rukia. The power that should’ve faded stayed comfortably in your soul, safety matured, and cultivated itself for years. Portions of that power must have flowed into Orihime, if not arguably all of it during the process of awakening her powers. Yet you could feel that power still inside of you, perhaps quadrupling itself thanks to replenishing itself far faster than you could transfer. There was perhaps more to it than that but that was the best theory you have gotten so far.

Understanding enough of the issue you thoroughly explain your thoughts to Orihime. While initially shocked about this, Orihime was surprisingly taking this exceptionally well. She was flustered about it, perhaps to the point of blushing as she comments about the immense warmth of the power coursing inside of her. Reliving her off her inner turmoil and giving her a sense of calming serenity as she was more tranquil. But like Tatsuki, it seems that Orihime made the power bestowed upon her on top of her initial latent ability her own. Even her eyes carried with them a far stronger resolve, almost remaining you of a certain strawberry.

Smiling at this you brushed off whatever ramification or consequences that were to come from this act. What happened has already come into fruition, so worrying about it was pointless. Instead, you took the initiative to continue giving pointers to Orihime, along with the added bonus of direct training. Thus you suggested to Orihime about having a friendly spar during your teachings. Hesitating for only just a brief moment, Orihime ultimately agreed to the suggestion. Afterward, she took to get into fighting form, surprising you just how good Orihime’s form and the poster was. Then again, Tatsuki was her teacher and as a fellow second-degree blackbelt, you knew it made perfect sense she would be at the brown belt at least.

Oh, how wrong you were. Upon actually fighting Orihime did you rectify that mistake of calling her a brown belt. Truthfully she was around black belt just one dan level below yours. Once again you realize just how her cheery and buoyant personality deceptively hides her true threat levels. Incredibly honed reflexes and even sharper perception. It was surprising how much her pacifist nature held back her heightened abilities. Even more so now that becoming a substitute shinigami further elevated her on a drastic scale. Honestly, you were quickly pushed back into a corner with the newly taught tactics and maneuvers.

With nothing holding her back Orihime quickly grasps and analyzed each and every move. Going as far as to even put her own spin on things starting with her submission holds. Using every advantage given to her, Orihime manages to drive you into the brinks of the corner. Despite realizing that you have to get serious with Orihime, the gap between you was so minuscule that you truly felt the looming dangers coming from your spar. So much in fact that a certain bluish-red haired siren/harpy decided to step it up. Whether if you intended or not, another spirit began to awaken with a vengeance.

At first, the silhouette appeared to be an androgynous figure holding what appears to be a giant trident. An immense wave surges from the individual as you suddenly feel yourself being submerged in a bottomless ocean. Upon closer inspection you see the silhouette dissipating in a rather strange shattering visual effect. Underneath the shattering silhouette now appears to be a strange cat girl with silky long two-toned purple-haired and a modified Shihakushō. Resembling more like an unorthodox Miko or shrine maiden, the mysterious catgirl emitted an alluring yet formidable power, not unlike that of Nahitgalou. Yet for some reason, it felt oddly familiar to you.

“What are you doing, you Baka?!” The catgirl cries out, grabbing you by the collar of your shirt. “Are you really going to let yourself been thrown around like this?! To think that you of all people would be our master. Humph, either way, if my majesty isn’t going to live up to the title of King, then this horse is going to start bucking in your place and trampling on those that point their blade at us.”

From her tone and mannerism, you could tell that she was using the majestic plural known as the royal we. Although you got the feeling that she was more of a Senri than a mere Nekomata due to the similar vibes she shares with a Sokushinbutsu. The familiar feeling that was coming to you began to watch her trolly her way towards you in this space surrounded by water. Deja vu quickly creeps inside your head as you recall a similar phenomenon happening during that rainy day when you met Nahtigalou, or during your training with Kisuke how Jammerwock came into being. With the slightest of movements, the Senri immediately closed the gap between you. Her tails briefly split from one to four as they circulate around you.

“Say our name, king. We permit you to do so if you want to remain victorious.” The Senri sultry speaks in between her clear cut acts of tsundereism.

>Say the mysterious woman’s name as permitted and fully awakened “that power”
>Ask some questions before doing anything given the circumstance [write-in]
>Politely decline her request and focus on finishing the fight with your current strength

A slight divergence from the original plan as I was going to end the fight with you and Orihime relatively quickly. But with all those fortunate roles and resonance, I believed it to be just right for the third entity that resides inside you to make their appearance. So going to be off schedule a bit from what I'd initially planned for the reveal.

Also what the silhouette looked like before the residing shinigami powers flowed into it and filled in the vacant holes.

Alright since with the addition of the banned anon with a month-long ban, that's 3 votes. So we're going to be moving along to the next scene. With that, you can give me a simple d100 or you can start spending some points for an option in the rule system google doc.

Rolled 10 (1d100)

>>4388942
I'll also spend a point for a reroll later on, just in case.

Rolled 26 (1d100)

What's the time limit on using our SP? Can we also use it after we see all our rolls or only before?

Rolled 52, 55 = 107 (2d100)

>>4388942

Also rolling for the one anon. They would also before spending a reroll so saving everyone's time would be for the best. Those who already roll can make your reroll. Future rollers give me 2d100 and I'll take the best one out those rolls.

Rolled 19 (1d100)

>>4388967

You are a merciful god Jumpman

>>4388963

You can freely choose to announce it before the roll or use it after everyone is done. If it's just one person however, I usually wait a couple of hours when active to see if anyone else would agree to it or not. If nobody tries to stop it by then, I'll count it as a yes and use the associated SP cost for the option in mind.

“You’re name?” You paused. Eyes trailing off seeing this slender and well-endowed woman of average height. Similar to the full-figured Jabba or the well-toned/built Nighty, there seems to be a familiar vibe coming from cat woman. So much so that you nearly found yourself speechless gazing at her beauty. Earning a coy smile from the Senri. “Aren’t you actually Yontorawa (四寅環, Four-Tiger Ring)? Yoruichi’s zanpakuto. “

“No, We’re not! Although we do have elements of Yontorawa to thank that helped with our composition. Still, we aren’t that moody spirit that used to reside in your soul. Besides, you relinquished the actual Yontorawa long ago.” The senri exclaims, fuming over the suggestion of you getting her name wrong. That cool and collective demeanor from earlier was failing to the westside as she was showing more tsun.

“Oh right, then you must be Sode no Shirayuki then.” You smile nonchalantly, clapping your hands together at figuring it out.

“....Master, please shut up before we decide to claw out your eyes.” The senri whispers, morphing her human-like hands into actual giant paws. The claws sprung out getting the unique hue of black stainless steel as your mind immediately thought of Ichigo’s black blade.

“Putting aside our unorthodox origin aside. You should be able to hear our name now. We’ve been shouting our names for the past six years. Back then it only came off as white noise mixed with muffled static. Thankfully when you took Ms. Kuchiki’s powers that the final piece of the puzzle was filled and we gained enough stability to be a singular entity again. Although, to be quite frank this new form is quite the unforeseen course of action than the original intentions.” Staring at you for a bit, her eyes dart back down to her appearance. Slowly raising her arms one by one, the Senri quickly examines herself with a cat’s curiosity. Ultimately folding her arms in approval as her tails dance fluidly in motion. “Can’t really complain about this coalescence though. Between this and continuing being a distorted echo of an incarnation long since splinted, we’d rather be reborn into this state.”

>>4390097

“Hmm, don’t take this the wrong way, Miss. But I’m getting some mixed feelings that this is the third time I’m meeting a spirit that’s directly tied to me. Between Nahtigalou and Jammerwock both being girls, I can’t help but wonder if this is directly tied to my subconscious. I mean I am well in touch with my emotions and far more “Zen” than anyone of my gender. But….I still can’t shake off this implication-” Before you can say anything further, you would feel a giant paw brushing against your face. Abruptly shutting you up as the Senri harrumphs loudly.

The Senri puffed her cheeks, closing her eyes before folding her arms. Almost profoundly imposing your attention with an appropriate sound effect to her chest.“We would prefer it if you didn’t categorize us in the same field as that bossy bird and the dimwitted doggy dragon. But yes we’re a sentient spirit born from your core soul. Although our creation is an unorthodox method, it still follows the base template of the Asauchi created that gives way to what most call a Zanpakuto.”

“I think Kisuke briefly mentioned them to me when I asked him about Nahtigalou.” You pounder, thinking back to the conversation about the similarities of your powers to a shinigami, quincy, and to an extent a fullbringer.

“The similar nature of the Däl to a Zanpakuto that Bounts carry within themselves, and the unique composition comprising the original incarnation of White aka the experimental hollow that resides in you also following the same creation method of a Zanpakuto. Between these two factors, it seems that you certainly earned the attention of that man. Perhaps if you’re lucky, you will meet him one day much like we have during our time waiting for you.” The Senri nods, confirming your suspicion in her explanation while simultaneously opening up some new information.

“Hold on a second. What do you mean when you say that man? And what’s this about White? I thought he was just a unique hollow capable of invading the soul hence Masaki Kurosaki’s hollowification.” You ask in confusion.

“Did we stutter? White is the same as that hollow Fishbone D Mr. Kisuke examined and Jabba consumed. Both are experimented hollows carrying aspects akin to that of a Zanpakuto. On the matter of your actions, it’s only inevitable that it would bring forth a lot of attention. Can’t be helped no? Even so, because of the path you have chosen, you will face many adversity and obstructions down the path.” Correcting you on your misconception, the senri starts to casually walk around the submerged area. Making sure to keep a close enough distance from you as she starts cycling around.

“For instance, the dragon powers that were born out an abnormality mutation known as the Atavism of the Ryūjin have undergone transmigration between the initial entity and the Original White. A swapping of roles. The hollow powers of White merged with your dormant Dragon Powers, creating the hybrid known as Jammerwoch. Hence why although classified as a dragon, Ms. Arisawa shares many similarities with an arrancar especially after Kisuke’s meddling.”

Just like that, you find yourself losing your speech as the term cat got your tongue best described this perplexing feeling. In retrospect, it shouldn’t be all that surprising why the mysterious senri was so knowledgeable and informative. Aside from skin tone, the senri was basically a spitting image of Yoruichi Shihōin if going by basis. But there were clear distinguishing figures of the other components that made up her current existence. Although not nearly as obvious in comparison. Nevertheless, you quietly observe the mysterious spirit, letting her continue her explain what was going on in the depths of your soul.

“As for the quincy powers of Masaki Kurosaki, they too have been conglomerated, this time into an entity you refer to as Nahtigalou. Pushing out the Shinigami powers that Ms. Yoruichi was trying to embed into the doll, unaware that shinigami powers already resided within her thanks to the being housed by Kazumi Sato during the time when your body was too weak to properly manifest your powers without extraneous strain. In other words, we too are a symptom of transmigration, but in our case, metempsychosis would be far more accurate. After all, truthfully we’re actually once Nej-“ Before she could say anything else, a pair of hands started to brush against her ears.

In a shocking turn of events, the haughty cat sage found herself being groomed by you. You couldn’t help yourself from touching those ears as they were so bouncy and supple. A deep shade of red started to form around the senri’s cheeks. Her tail quickly splits into four as they start to waggle deeply from the touch. In one fell swoop, the senri’s entire image and stance came crumbling away from your sudden message. Dropping to her knees the senri began making loud cattish cries, devolving into following her feline instincts. In your unique fashion, you managed to tame this tsundere as she quickly finds herself losing her strength and resistance. Completely melting away from your touch as she continues to moan and cry.

Eventually finding herself panting from the extensive and thorough massage, the senri started to hiccup in a drunken state. Showing signs of being brought into pure euphoria like a cat dining on catnip, the Senri snorted with laughter loudly with the added addition of droll over her lower lips. In her daze, she tries to pick herself up only to tumble down on her legs. From the looks of things, it seems you found her weak spot as a cat’s sensitivity immediately comes to mind. In light of this, you merely assisted her upward, practically carrying the senri like a princess. Further melting into your arms, the senri happily swoons while still trying to remember her role. Whatever she had to say back then, for now, was lost to you.

“Anyway, we’re wasting time with chitchat. You have the fight to win. A battle although born from a mere spar that doesn’t hold any less meaning than the real deal. Don’t let yourself settle for the stagnation of mediocrity when you can reach new horizons. Don’t use laziness as an excuse for being unmotivated. Don’t settle on only perpetuating your comfy life. Extend your horizons and break the limitations holding you down into this fearsome world.” The senri slurs her words, making hiccups in between her giddy giggling. Yet they would still come crystal clear as you switched to using Herz (霊視,(ヘルツ) herutsu; German for "Essence", Japanese for “Reading the Heart”).

“Without resolve, you will decay. Without courage, you will be consumed by the fears plaguing your heart. Without hope, you will fall into despair. Even if the entire world was to be your enemy, never stray from your convictions. Never give an inch to doubt. Go beyond. Liberate yourself from the shackles that hold you down. “ As the senri narrates the ground around you begins to rumble in anticipation. Ripples quickly spread out through the entirety of the submerged surroundings. An escalation of spiritual power resonated between you and the senri as her eyes begin to glow. “NOW CRY OUT OUR NAME!”

“Shijinjū Tenkō (四神獣転向 Conversion of the Four Beasts)!”

In response to the call a massive torrent of spiritual pressure skyrockets from your body. Twisting the fluids around you in a spiraling vortex, Orihime found herself pushed back by the sudden release. In the rampaging maelstrom that emerged in a vortex-like cocoon, a single sound emits from the string. All that it took to calm the maelstrom and open up the cocoon came from a single stroke of the instrument in hand. Standing from the cocoon you emerged with what appears to be a combination of a trident, a bishamon-yari, and a ji. However, all of that somehow manages to blend together to resemble a guitar-like instrument, specifically an electric bass. Putting a brand new spin to the term guitar ax as it emits a strong glow.
