After talking to the Lieutenant, and being accepted to the 5th squad, Deco wandered around thinking on what to do next. He wasn´t sure about how he was supposed to act nor what he was supposed to do now that he joined a squad.
In the end he though about going to the training grounds, check how is it and meet some comrades. Getting there, he found out it´s more to a kido range than a training field, as he was used to, but after thinking about it, he told himself that it was normal, since the 5th squad is the kido squad.
Inside the kido ranges, he saw only two guys, one of them was wearing normal shinigami cloths, but the other one had a white [insert its name here] with the squads symbol on his back ((I though it would be like this, went to your profile and found nothing about it, so I guess its this)) and Deco guessed it should be the Captain, so he went to meet his captain.

((lol ok then, just though about that since he had a post not so long ago here xD)) ((i will make my char acts as if he is busy k?))
Seeing that the Captain was busy with the other shinigami, and wanting to train, Deco though about asking the Lieutenant to train him.
Giving a last and quick look to the Captain, Deco left the ranges.

(Oops! Sorry for taking so long!)
"Hi, Captain. It's been awhile..." Namon said. Not long after the Buru incident, Namon had been put on patrol duty in one of the less active areas of Earth. It felt good to be back in Soul Society. "Actually, Captain, I wanted to ask about the exams. I was hoping to attempt to get a seat now, if it was alright with you." Namon asked, slightly nervous, "I believe I can handle whatever you want me to do."

((So are you back-back?))
Nagi smiled, almost wanting to hug the guy. It had been so long since he'd seen him that he thought Namon had run off to never return. "Of course you can." Nagi nodded. "In fact, I was doing a little training session right here. If you'd like to join in and get your two kidos knocked out, then that would be great."
Nagi then made a glance back at Yoh, who appeared to be finally relaxing. Nagi was glad for this, since he didn't want the guy to be drained before they started the next lesson. "Hey, you don't mind if he joins us do you Yoh?" he asked with a grin.

(For now. xd It's good to be back!)
Namon smiled back at the Captain. He was confident he could handle things better now. He had regained control over his Zanpakutou and the voices in his head, and he hadn't felt a thing from the other mind in months. Though the feeling of being watched never left... "Great! What kidou are we practicing?" Namon asked, as he pushed his large kimono's sleeves back a slight bit.

Yoh notice Nagi speaking to him suddenly and shock "No....not at all, this is your place so call the shots" he said. Trying to not say sir was hard for him due to in squad nine. If he were to speak like this, the higher seat shinigami would have his head. Yoh then waited for his next command, as he was ready to work some more.

Nagi grinned while clapping his hands together and holding them. He did this whenever he was motevated or ready to get started with something new.
"Okay, next kido on the list is slightly above the one Yoh just learned." he explained. "It is pretty much the same as hado 31 only much more powerful and I think you two will have a blast with it- literally. It is hado 33, Sokatsui."
Nagi then made a quick glance at Namon as he stepped to the firing line to make his demonstration. "Namon, this kido will be considered as the first kido for your seat earning." he said. "Since you've been away on active duty for so long, I'm sure your abilities have not declined. However, if you have trouble with this one, we can help you out so don't hesitate to say anything."
With that, Nagi raised his right arm once more and pointed his palm directly at one of the stationary targets. Now with both eyes on what he was aiming for, his right eye dilated once again as his riatsu began to focus into his palm. "Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man!" as he chanted, a ball of bright blue and white colored flame began to form on his hand. They burned hot, but due to his method of focus and his will not to be burned by it, the flames did not bother him at all.
"Truth and temperance, Upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!"
By this time, the ball of fire was quite large. It flickered with so much intensity that it looked as though it was about to engulf Nagi's entire limb or just explode everywhere.
"Hado number 33, Sokatsui!"
With that, the huge ball of flame erupted from Nagi's palm and shot straight for the target. However, the shot had been so forceful that it completely took the dummy out, leaving nothing but a charred, smoky stump and through part of another target behind that one about fifty meters away. The kido continued on until it finally hit the ground due to the ascending level of earth on the other side of the range.
Biting his lip a bit, Nagi lowered his arm and looked embarrassed for allowing himself to use so much spirit energy for something like a demonstration. "Well... that's what it looks like." he said while turning back to his students. "Though... try not to go as crazy as I did... You may both step up to the firing line and take your practice shots now. Take as much time as you need to."

Namon smiled as he heard what kido they were practicing. Although a high-level spell, Sokatsui was one of the few kido that Namon had nearly perfected. Of course, that was because his sword relied on kido like this one. However, as Namon positioned himself and took aim, he thought about where he had learned of the spell. As far as he could remember, no one had actually taught him it. He just... remembered. To be more precise, Namon learned that spell at about the same time that he mastered his Shikai. Coincidence? Highly unlikely. Namon wondered if there were bits of his old memory that had managed to reveal themselves to him without his knowing... "Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, Upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" Namon stated with a forceful tone. He felt the reiatsu pull into a ball before him and saw the heat emanating from his hand. "Hado Number 33: Sokatsui!" The air between Namon's hand and his target erupted in blue fire. The heat of the spell was so intense that the ground beneath the kido scorched. As the spell blew away, Namon spotted his target, completely ablaze besides the tree upon which it stood. Namon's first reaction was to pull the target away before the tree caught fire, but he realized he was too late, for a large portion of the trunk and leaves were already burning and spreading. Good thing they were in the Training field...

Yoh listen to what Nagi said this kido was a little bit stronger then the last. At the same time it should have not been that hard to handle. As he then begins to chant once more the words needed. "Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" Yoh spoke; he would let the spirit energy flow through both arms once more. Both his arms rose as the palms were c**k at the target and center just right. "Hado Number 33: Sokatsui!" Yoh roar loudly. A burst of blue flame blaze shot from his palms wasting no time. The fire blast dash through the air swirling in circles heading right for the target at full speed, the impact was so strong the target went sail off into pieces.

Biting his bottom lip slightly, Nagi watched as the two fired off their first attempt at the kido. The first initial thought that went through his mind was the possibility of a range fire starting. Sure enough, Namon's kido did just that. There hadn't been much rain lately, making the area rather dry. Luckily, Suri's zanpaku-to was a water element. The thought of her having to show up just to put out a fire made him grin a bit. Mostly at the look she'd give him for such a request. If the fire spread away from the tree, then he'd have to do just that. Then again, as he continued to think about it, another idea came to him and it was at that moment he he figured it would just help them move onto the next lesson.
As part of his mind continued to dwell on it, his eyes still remained on his students, evaluating their movements and progression. He wasn't at all surprised by their nearly flawless performance. Surely Namon's enlightening absence raised his focus and skill while Yoh was already in the flow of things since he'd been here for a while already. It was pretty much smooth sailing from here.
"Very good you guys." Nagi nodded, taking a glance back at the pile of burning rubble. "We might want to put that out. Namon, remember next time that it's not a good idea to aim fire at trees. This will bring us into our next kido, which has nothing to do with fire luckily..."
Stepping toward the firing line, Nagi removed the bamboo shinai off his back. It had been a while since he used it for much of anything so instinctively, he grabbed it in his left hand. Though he wasn't entirely sure that this was how the kido was performed, he was going by what he had read and the technique he learned from it.
Quickly building up his spirit energy back into his right arm, he grasped the handle of his weapon with both hands instead of only one, thus allowing his energy to advance further into the sword and his left hand. Very slowly at first, he began rotating the bamboo weapon in his hands. Nagi wasn't exactly what one would call nimble all the time, so in this case, he preferred to use both hands to keep the rotation flowing smoothly. This would be a bad time to have a clutz attack. Surely if he were to drop his sword while performing the kido, the attack would also decide to go along with it. The results would have been unfortunate nonetheless.
Once the zanpaku-to reached to a good momentum, Nagi stepped forward in a forceful kind of way, almost as if he were pushing something that was giving him great resistance. At the same time, he shouted the words "Hado number 58, tenran!" and a great gale of wind suddenly burst fourth as if his rotating weapon had been turned into some psychotically strong industrial fan. The wind gathered, whipping and winding from all directions until eventually forming into a large and powerful tornado, advancing fourth and sucking up the smoke and flames that still burned at the mutilated tree stump. The cyclone continued forward along its path for a good distance until it winded down, dropping the smoking charred debris as it disappeared in a dusty haze. This was what Nagi had hoped for from the beginning and was definately pleased with the results.
He smiled as he lowered his weapon. "This will be your next kido." he said as he turned to face his students. "This one will be quite difficult, since it is quite different than most other hado. No incantation is required, but high focus is needed for this. What I want you two to do is create the whirl winds, but the task will be to just to simply use enough power rip the targets out of the ground but not destroy them. You can only aim for one target at a time. You can begin." ((I went with it this time, but as a range where there's probably going to be fire hazards, there aren't really any trees out there. ^^'))

Yoh watch Nagi as he was very much amazed of the kido he just performs. It was a wind type of course, and not soul being fire base was good. Rather level out his balance with elemental kido “That was yes so cool” Yoh added. As Yoh now step forward remembering the steps Nagi himself just did for the art, he would only hope to master himself.
Taking a deep breathe Yoh was already channeling his energy through his body; it was a circular motion basically. He quickly reaches for his zanpakuto as it was now unwrap ready to work. The black wrapping which covers the blade had now been flowing with the wind gently.
Yoh begin to spin his blade with a nice rotation wielding the handle with good care. There was no room for any mistake as the bar was set higher then before, Yoh then pick up the rotation speed. Once the zanpakuto reached good momentum, Yoh stepped forward in a forceful kind of way, like Nagi did. He shouted the words "Hado number 58, Tenran!" and a great gale of wind unexpectedly explodes fourth as if his rotating weapon was casting a tornado. Yoh shape it the way with his spirit energy so he could do the task at hand, he was aiming for the base of the targets. This would weaken the ground and allow the target slip right out the grand still in one peace. Yoh apply this method for all of the targets still to go, and as each would come out the ground they would fall over since Yoh wasn’t sure what to do with them afterward. Now complete he stops the rotation breathing very hard as his face was now very sweaty. “Task…… complete” Yoh said, and he was panting in between words trying to gather more air.

Namon mimiced Nagi with his hands as he watched the Captain's Kido. Indeed, it was unusual, requiring a much more controlled flow of reiatsu. As the Captain finished his spell, Namon drew Yaneri-Ja and readied himself. Twirling the Zanpakutou was no problem. After his 'vacation' on Earth, Namon knew his sword rather well. However, since it was his first casting, Namon kept both hands on the sword. Yaneri-Ja picked up speed and Namon began to feed it reiatsu. He was unsure of the technique, but un-afraid to try it anyway. Namon stepped forward and called the incantation. Wind whipped past Namon, causing the grass and trees to stir, but failed to circulate into a cyclone. Namon grunted with disapproval and stepped back, ready to try again. Even faster this time, Namon spun Yaneri-Ja until it reached an even greater speed. He dumped loads of reiatsu into the spell this time. Stop it! I'm gettin' dizzy! I will not fail this time! Namon thought to himself, ignoring Yaneri-Ja. He stepped forward and shoved ahead with intense strength, practically yelling, "Hado number 58, Tenran!" The wind whipped up to an extreme measure, blowing past Namon and all the others. It spun so rapidly before the Shinigami, that a great cyclone formed, cutting deep to the ground. The cyclone raced forward, propelled by the burst of reiatsu. Regrettably, the cyclone did not just pull the target up, but pulled up multiple targets. Then, it flung them away at immense speeds while the cyclone dissipated. Namon dived to the side as one of the targets flew pass him and smashed into hundreds of tiny pieces upon the ground. Namon grimaced as he saw that all the targets had the same result. However, he would not give up. Now that he knew the range, he performed the kido once more. He spun the blade expertly in his right hand, balanced out the reiatsu, positioned himself, then jet forward, calling the incantation. The wind whipped up again, this time at a lower speed and power. Yet, the wind was strong enough to whip into a small cyclone which ripped and pulled at the target, till it finally was tugged out of the ground with a piece of dirt still attached to the end. Not long after the target was pulled, the cyclone dissipated, tossing the target roughly, but in one piece, upon the ground. Turning towards Nagi, Namon smiled wryly and nodded. "A good spell. It shall be of great help in the future!"

Nagi was not at all surprised with the slight struggle that occurred in performing the kido but he was still proud just the same. Especially of his own division member. He loved giving good news and he was more than happy to do it at that moment. However, he wasn't going to do it without having a little fun with it first.
With a straight, serious face, Nagi stared blankly at the two for a moment as if he were deep in thought about something. Silently, he let out a breath as his blue eyes focused on Namon. "I have some news for you..." he said somberly. "Namon, you've worked very hard and I definately see that your abilities have improved. However, I'm sad to tell you that you've completed your two kidos."
With that, a grin spread across his face. "Congratulations, third seat." he laughed while giving a thumbs-up. "Get the hell out of here and get some rest. You earned it."
He then turned his attention to Yoh. "Same goes to you. You've learned a lot today and you did a good job." he said. "No need to overdo it."

At first listening to Nagi first comments he was very nervous. To think he would upset his teacher or even fail him would be shameful. Nevertheless heart breaking to his own captain who expected a lot out of him.
Suddenly Yoh felt joy as Nagi adds in more word, lets them know they did a good job on day one. “Thank you so much Nagi, I will be sure to rest up and come back stronger. I wish to learn more from you as soon as possible.” Yoh said, as he bowed then ran off. He would head back to his own squad to let his captain know the good news.
