Welcome to Gaia! ::

Soru entered the kidou training grouunds to practice Bakudou one last time before moving on to Hadou. Although, he wanted to completely master his way of binding before moving on, he felt a need to master one demon art before moving on to another. There was a series of moving targets before him. All of which had small cracks and burn marks from the several different kidou used there. He approached the farther end of the training grounds and began to practice.

"Bakudou #4, Crawling Rope," a familiar yellow beam erupted from his finger tips. Very intricately, they circled the target. the beam disconnected itself from his hand and began to sustain itself. The doll continued to move, but only by the thin belt it was attached to. He smiled and loosened up his focus, and to his surprise, the Bakudou remained. He took this short period of time to admire what it was truly supposed to look like. It was like a slow, bright yellow lightning bolt. The doll stopped and changed its direction back along its predetermined path.

He released the Bakudou and prepared another one. "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!" with the spiritual chant alone, he could feel a large mass of energy being built up in his arms, "Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!" His hands started to glow red as he stretched them out toward the target he attacked before. "Bakudou #9, Hit!" a large flash of light projected from his arms and the doll shook unsteadily. It began to slow down, but not stop. It now started to shake violently, and Soru felt energy draining from his arms. Before it broke on its own, he released the Kidou and fell to the ground. The doll continued on its merry little path up and down the belt.

Soru was panting heavily. This low level kidou had left him breathless. When he pushed himself to his knees he looked at the target moving back and forth, as if to taunt him. He returned to his feet and tried again, "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!" His arms began to glow again as he finished the incantation, "Bakudou #9, Hit!" The bright red light enveloped the doll once more. Liek last time, it shook violently, but eventually came to what appeared to be a complete stop. Soru focused and held it for as long as possible. The strain was so strong, it felt as if his arms would fall off. The Kidou dispersed on its own and Soru fell to his back, breathing heavily.

When he caught his breath, he pushed himself into a sitting position and smiled. He felt ready to try some Hadou next, but not after he got some rest. He preformed 3 kidou and he was already out of energy. He needed to train more, before he could actually use these in battle.

Ryou, feeling content with his hado training, started working on his bakudo instead. He ran up to the dummy, stopping withing arms distance, then slammed his hand into it, screaming "Bakudo #1: Restrain!" A yellow light seemed to come off of his hand for a second, then flickered out. The dummy still stood there, without any difference. "Of course, it isn't living or anything like that, I guess that makes sense..." He said.

"I'm guess I'm going to try my favorite bakudo to date..." He said, closing his eyes, trying to concentrate. "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini. Look upon yourself in horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudo #9: Hit!" A red light quickly shot out of his hand, completely enveloping the dummy. Ryou, knowing the attack would do nothing on the dummy, tried not to put too much power into it. The red light quickly wore off, and, as expected, nothing was wrong with the dummy.

"Hmm... I wonder how powerful this is without the incantation... Bakudo #9: Hit!" He said, holding his hand out once more. A red light came out once again, but something about it made it less impressive. It also wore off much faster. "I see the difference in the powers. I guess if you have to time to say the incantation, you should." He made a mental note of that, then walked away from the training grounds, heading next door. "I guess I should get some sword training in as well." He said, heading to the zanpakuto training grounds.

Daichi walked into the training field looking for a dummy to practice on. He walked to the nearest dummy and stood in front of the dummy ready to practice his Hadou. It was time for Diachi to learn Hadou number 4, to increase his strength.

He cracked his fingers and prepared to lunch it. He put his hand out in front of him charging up his reiatsu to the tips of his finger. Daichi aimed his hand at the dummy shouting, "Hadou #4! White lighting." His smoke came from the tip of his fingers but nothing really happened. Taking a deep breathe as He pulled his hand down shaking away the smoke coming from his finger tips. He had to master this Hadou so he can create a new way of power.

He was going to try one more time before he left for the night. Raising his hand again aiming at the dummy, charging up his reiatsu. Daichi put even more reiatsu to his hand then before. He shouted, "Hadou #4 White Lighting!" Releasing his energy to turn it into Lighting. Lighting shot out of his fingers shocking the dummy.

He did it Daichi did Hadou #4 White Lighting.

FlashSteps to another area, one with responsive SpiritWalls.
"'Aaahhh, looks like Squad 12 finally made this thing functional!"
This training piece is a wall with bullseyes on it. Department of Technology made it to where that if your attack dosen't make its mark, it will be absorbed and shot back with added power. There is a sign warning of this superior training device, so Saiko uses a FlashStep and gives it a Roundhouse Kick.
He then turns his attention to the bullseyes... *sigh*
"Hadou 4: White Lightning, Hadou 4: White Lightning, Hadou 4: White Lightning"
Three clouds of dust explode out of the wall as all three attacks crash into the targets directly. Craters can be seen from miles away due to the ferocity of the attacks. As soon as the thunderous clap of impact is heard, Saiko is forced to jump aside since the blast outreached the radius of the bullseye.
"Ahahahaha, defensive and offensive Training here, I love it!"

He steadies himself, planting feet firmly on the ground. His reiatsu flares, he increases his SpiritualPressure and focuses on the middle bullseye.
Then he screams while flying into the air, moving quickly to the right he yells "Hadou 4: White Lightning" Saiko is forced to use another FlashStep, flying sideways down the course, while still spraying lightning. He can instantly feel the stress in his body intensify, as the wall shoots the kido back twice as strong.
I'm going to have to stop this somehow... If I keep going with this the shytt just might catch up. At least if this wall dosen't end soon
Saiko changes direction and flies straight upwward. The attack follow his path, as now the wall of electricity has a huge-scale 90-degree angle turn in it.
okay, this isnt gonna be that fun, but oh well...Not much else i can do
He changes direction again, this time he makes a diagonal dash towards the ground, and then braces himself as he pushed all he dared into the wall, waiting for the recoil.
and it hits him

someone from Squad 4 carries him off

Kuuri walked out.. a disgusted look covered his face... He was hoping that this area might have more of a point to it... The other was just fighting others and learning normal sword tactics... He didn't need that... He was a prodigy and he knew it. The older, near twenty year old swordsmen in his old district were weaker then him... So 'fighting dummies' wasn't really up to his level... He needed a moving target of some sort.. or something that didn't bore him 'too' much... "Maybe I can cure my ******** boredom with some kidou training.. I might actually need this crap... maybe.."

He was really just being stubborn with this subject... He really wanted to learn more kidou then 'white lightning'.. and people in the rukongai couldn't teach him this.. this was his weak point.... Swordplay he could learn from his grandfather and the old villagers who were once shinigami.. kidou was prohibited though.. to dangerous... He noticed another shinigami here... From his calculations of catching him halfway through his training against a dummy using kidou... Even such simple things seemed complicated...

He reached into his pocket, beneath the shinigami rug... He pulled out a book.. sorta a little manual of instructions he'd copied down from the academy...After thirty seconds of reading he dropped the book... a piece of paper slipping out like a bookmark would. He didn't notice it and just went on..

"Ok.... Lets try and do this without the chant or name thingy.. Mastering the hardest thing first will make the easy part like breathing..natural." He ran out towards a target... his eyes widening as he threw his right hand out.. palm open like a claw. The claw strike came within inches of the big red and white target... before it missed miserably... He slammed into it sideways.. sliding down the wall with a disgruntled look on his face. "Damn...." He got up halfway.. now crouched on the ground... He suddenly sprang forward, his foot rebounding off the large and thick wooden target... There was a ten foot distance between him and the target before he took a stance... right foot facing forward on the ground.. left foot facing to the left.. two and a half feet between the formation. 'Perfect' feet formations..

He focused... small amounts of reistu gathering from different parts of his body... He suddenly threw a a reverse round-house kick from his position, screaming something.... ".. BREAK'EM DOWN!!" the force form the kick travelled.. He'd done the 'thrust' kidou with his feet successfully. He watched as the air curled with the roundhouse formation he'd sent out..

Crack...crack...crack..... crumble... He'd cut the target in half.. and then crumbled it too.. To top it off... it was from ten feet away..... But he was tired from gathering so much reistu and releasing it as straight spiritual pressure from his feet. He dropped to one knee.. then caught site of another large thick target... He was gonna do this till he got it to the point of being as easy as doing a slash with his katanas...


[Kurri..]

[Spiritual pressure control training complete..
Translation: He can release and contain reistu better.. including Using his new enhancement move... 'Rush'..]

Kuuri got up... not as tired as before. The book was laying aside his foot.. He'd almost forgotten it... After picking it up and examining it.. there was a letter in it. He picked it up and read it as he walked out of the grounds.. Before reaching the actual 'exit'.. He stopped. He was smiling. "Congratulations Kuuri... your squad seven's seventh seat. ********..." He slipped the note back into the book, putting it into a crease so it wouldn't fall out. Time to check out his new division...

Before actually leaving.... he stood in his spot for a second... His reistu was doing its 'charge' for when he would do one of his 'Guard Breaking' Kicks... the one he'd just practiced with for almost an hour.... He allowed the reistu to release itself on the inside instead of the outside.. giving it a negative effect.... He felt light.. not weighed down... He smiled and started sprinting.. running four times the normal speed of a shinigami... This wasn't like the 'disappearing' speed the stronger and more experienced shinigami used, nor was it close to that actual speed. He was still visible when he ran.. He just felt a sort of...'Rush'.

He broke off running.... moving at a breakneck inhuman speed.... He was heading towards his new home.. maybe meet the captain or something... He was speeding on, not looking tired

['Rush' Is like a boost of adrenaline.. it works by adding reistu to the blood stream and increasing the flow, all the while unlocking hidden adrenaline. He can jump 5x higher.. run 4x faster... Pretty much super human without using a release... I'll add it to my profile along with the thrust technique...^__^]
