((Ha ha! The perfect final blow I'd have to say...))

Gabriel shouldered his Zanpakutou and watched the Hollow's form dissipate into nothingness. "Whew! What a day...what a day..." He made his way back over to the waterfall, and hopped back in. Not to continue training, but to wash his poor robes off. They were covered in dust, dirt, and Hollow blood. The dust and dirt came off easily enough, but the Hollow blood...

"N-Nani?! This stuff isn't coming out!" He began furiously rubbing at the black stains that spattered his student robes. "Chikashou! This is bad! This is my only robe! What if I get a super neat freak teacher!?" There he went, over reacting at the smallest things. Eventually he had no choice but to just give up, and ended up lying on the river's bank.

And even then, he still wasn't satisfied at his performance, despite the fact that he'd just toppled his first Hollow. "What if two, three, or even more of those things come at me? I'd be totally screwed..." Gabriel stared up at the Sky. Such a pretty shade of blue... he thought nonchalantly with both hands now behind his head. And like that, all his worries were shoved to the back of his head, now being as important to Gabriel as what he had for breakfast this morning. The boy's eyes began to flutter shut, and before you knew it, he was out like a light.
