Touoku couldn't help but smirk as Matthias snagged the captain's hand, using it to steady himself as he connected his heel with the lower back of his target. He grunted as the heel dug right into a spot just next to the spine, the force of the kick while not applying any substantial amount of reiatsu from his body knocked him forward an inch, requiring him to step out with his left leg to keep from losing his balance. The impact stung, probably leaving a bruise later on at the most.
“Finally, I was waiting for you to stop letting me just push you around.” Touoku said after his left foot was planted in it's new spot near Matthias' right ankle. “Let's see if you can keep it up now.” His smirk growing in size, not quite a smile, but more than the prior smirk. With his left hand he reached back and made a fist before launching a punch aimed right for the center his subordinates chest. The punch would be considered slow to a peer of his own. Though considering the level his opponent was currently at, it would probably match the speed and force of someone near vice captain level. If some form of shikai or pseudo-shikai attack was used, it was probable that Touoku would be required to draw his katana and pass the man who before him much sooner than expected.

Matthias never taking his eyes off the Captain, he sees a very fast strike flying toward him. He releases the hand he has a grip on and falls heavily to the ground leaving his left hand on the hilt of the katana. Quickly he places his right hand three inches from the tip and waits seven second so his opponent is fully committed to the attack. He grips and yells," I have the answer, Hanjimono!" Matthias pulls streaching the sword while the attack approches hoping the he hasn't waited to long. His Shikai streaches to a three section staff. Using one end to try and deflect the attack while the other flys in retaliation toward his coller bone on his left side.

Touoku watched as his punch made a direct hit with the one before him. He could feel the shock he had sent into the target's lungs, enough to knock the wind out of them it almost seemed. Matthias fell to the ground after his grip that held him within close range to the captain seemed to be forced open by the force of the impact. For a long moment the man made no movement towards attacking as he got up. A frown had replaced the grin the captain had just seconds ago. A loud sigh escaped him as he turned to properly face the man without any form of formal combat stance. He had been hoping for a better reaction, it seemed that this was his subordinate’s limit.
“Perhaps I over did it for our first encounter. I need to not break the members when I first meet them” Touoku thought as he continued to watch the weakened Matthias rise to his feet, his hand one hand touching the area near the thrusting point of the blade. In a final display of speed, the opponent swung his blade while calling upon the power locked within. Initially the attack was nothing to worry the captain, he could easily block the weapon as it was now. However, when he heard that standard tone of voice nearly all shinigami take on when releasing their zanpakutou or performing kidou chants, that flat yet ever commanding sound, his nerves reflexively became tense. Something could flip the table on him in a heartbeat and he was practically wide open.
“Dammit! I have no clue what that thing is going to be and it's about to hit me!” His brain told itself as his hand instinctively crossed his body to reach for his katana. The blade slid from the sheath as though it was oil that stored the weapon and not wood. Faintly the scent of dried blood rose more prominently from the sword's unblemished surface as it was exposed to open air once more. The sword that was slashing down towards him was already changing shape, a large three sectioned staff taking it's place. Two of the sections were flying his way now rather than the single point of attack he had expected. Moving at a speed that was rivaled his full shunpo, he swung his katana and knocked both the rod sections askew in a single strike. He took special care to avoid cutting into any flesh today.
“Heh, looks like you surpassed my expectations while I let my guard down. Don't count on getting so lucky next time though” Touoku said looking into the eyes of Matthias, the resolve to win still present in them it seemed. He felt both disturbed and joyful at the same time. Mostly, he was sickened at himself for letting his guard down for even a second, pleased that his subordinate was capable to catch hold of that opportunity and move forward beyond original calculations. With that he re sheathed his sword, today's practice and initial greetings were just about over with.

I medium sized man slowly walk from the shade his stark white hair shined brightly in the sunlight his head low enough not to see the color of his eyes.Lestat Walked out on to the field face red as a radish walking in an awkward way looking only far enough out in front of him not to run into anyone. Lestat Stopped on the Captains left side bowed deeply,while in this deep bowing position and with a choked voice he says out loud "Hello Captain my name is Lestat Sherun and I apologize a thousand times over for being gone." His necklace hung from his neck dangling out in the open. He hoped that the Captain would allow him to stay in this squad even after his recent disappearance. Continuing his sentence after clearing his throat "I over slept and I had no idea this was happening today I hope you will allow me to stay."

As the katana made a faint click as it finished entry into it’s resting place at it’s master’s hip, Touoku heard the footsteps making their way towards him and Matthias. He turned to eye the new arrival with interest, wondering who exactly would show up this time. Unable to see the unknown’s eyes underneath the dark shading his white hair provided as he kept his head tilted somewhat to the ground. His height did not seem to be extremely short or tall, just roughly in line with the average that most will reach once they stop growing. For a split second, the captain thought the one approaching him was much older than he appeared due to his hair color. However, closer inspection revealed that this initial guess was off by a couple decades or so. Before he was able to issue a greeting, he was confronted with the white haired one bowing before him and starting a speech of apology. Aside from not seeing his eyes yet, it was fairly obvious by the flushed face and voice that he was extremely anxious at the moment. He first introduced himself then proceeded to overreact by a bit, acting as though he had just done what was to bring the end of the world upon all. He was just a little bit late, nothing was wrong with that every now and then in the captain’s book, unless of course the subject was meals.
“Touoku Matsumori, a pleasure to meet you. You can stop bowing now, your not going to suffer any torture for being late today since I am just observing everyone’s combat skills today.” He said with a small smile crossing his lips. He was glad that another member had at least shown up today, if things got dull too soon he would have nothing to do before supper. “Yes, you can stay I see no reason why not to let you be here. Also, I would suggest an alarm or getting a wake up call if your worried about over sleeping in the future.” Touoku said, being sarcastic about the wake up advice since he had a personal history of the same oversleeping habit, explaining why he missed so many captain meetings. For a moment he caught a glimpse at the shiny item around Lestat’s throat. “I think that another combative testing session would take awhile for me to roughly evaluate you at the moment. Perhaps I should come up with some other method right now, to make things simple before we all miss out on dinner. That work with you?”

Matthias slowly worked his way up sore but a very happy man. As he finally looked out he saw a very familiar hair color, white and it was naturally odd for Lestat. Matthias walked over and said very cheerfully,"Hey what kept you, I waited like 15 minutes for you at the barracks?" Matthias was just bursting with energy and a grin that reached from ear to ear. Before receiving an answer He turned his head to his Captain,"Thanks for the fun fight Anytime you want to mess around Let me know." Matthias practically shined with joy standing there.
