Welcome to Gaia! ::

Masaru again felt the recoil of his blade, but he used it to his advantage. He used the momentum of the block to take a step out of the way of the oncoming attack. Still tapping into the momentum he was generating, he swung his bade at his opponent's side, hoping to land at least one attack.

[Attack: 16 + 6 = 22]

{My dodge bonus is bigger, so I'll just roll for attack}

((Ermm...since you didn't respond to Haro...he will start this))

He watched as the girl he'd approached asked where Haro was and ignorantly walked away when he was standing right infront of her. "Well...this just wont do." He said with a smirk and narrowed eyes. He held onto his zanpaktou tightly and he shook his head as he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "You shouldn't ignorantly not respond to someone whom is talking to you!" He growled as he ran forwards towards Hikari.

He unleashed his zanpaktou in a moment, having trained heavily in it's use. He swung with two hands, sending the bottom blade from it's back-position in a sweeping motion that brought it forwards and then he lifted it, taking the sweeping motion and using it's momentum to bring the blade into an uppercut. The blade was aimed right for her chin. The teacher told them not to hold back...and he didn't plan on it.

Attack: +7 [14]

Masaru felt the now familiar block of his opponent's zanpakuto, and quickly swung his back to block the incoming strike. He planted his feet, and held his blade high above his head before slicing downward at his opponent.

[Dodge: 20 + 12 = 32]
[Attack: 5 + 6 = 11]

{Oh man, you just barely missed that attack.}
I'm always using my sword to block his attacks. Time to try something new. I hope it works... Ethan stepped fluidly to the side, Then swung his sword with all his might at Masura's arm, hoping to get a hit.

[Attack: 8+6=14]

{And I did two rolls xp ))

{Crap, this die is for attack, I'm out of it}

Masaru watched as the blade approached his calf muscle. He lifted his leg and slammed it on the ground behind him, strengthening his stance. He flipped the blade in his hand around and sent the sharp tip of the blade towards his opponent forcibly.

[Dodge: 14 + 12 = 26]
[Attack: 5 + 6 = 11]

When he approaches, there's no sign of her worry, as she deflects the first blow with a slight flick of her wrist, and the second brings their blades to struggle against one another, glancing down at her shoulder briefly, before eyes lift back up to his over the clashing steel. There's something in her eyes, it's serious, and dangerous at the same time, before she swings her sword out roughly, knocking him backward from her.

In terms of pure strength, she was stronger, that much was obvious. But she was a teachers aide. What he probably wasn't aware of, was the fact that she was already an academy graduate. He was right. She had unlocked all of her shikai abilities. This wasn't going to be very pretty. Or maybe it was, and that was the point.

As the woman stepped backward, she made a quick forward jabbing motion with her sword, before drawing it back, strangely, as she did, the stars floating around her moving in conjunction with her movements, before she made a rapid cross in front of her, inside a circular shape, the dual stabs sending two of the larger stars toward him, as the tassel itself coiled around her arm to the shoulder, acting like a type of shield, if one could call it that.

The first star blinked for a moment, before coming back into being behind him, while the first one continued to approach from the front. If the two managed to meet in the middle, they could very well split him into two Tsai's. No, she wasn't going easy on him, not by a long shot. The other stars continued to float around her, acting as shields for whatever came her way.

But there had been no other explosion of reiatsu. She wasn't using any of the abilities yet. This was just plain the way her shikai worked.

[Dodge: +27 = 28 / +27 = 35
Attack: +23 = 36 / +18 = 27 ]

(Sorry Nasi! I was gone basically all day yesterday and I got back really late last night. I was tired, so I didn't post! Sorry!)

Shiru walked over to a poster, eyeing everyone around him.
A few of the spars had started already and he wanted to get in on the action.
He ran his finger down the list and saw his name underneath the A-rank people.
Shiru laughed nervously and turned around.
"Why do I get the feeling that this'll be harder than yesterday? What to do...Well, first of all, who's my opponent?"
He looked at the poster again and ran down the list, finally hitting his name.
So then, it was someone named Kaosu then.
Shiru had a bad feeling that he'd have a very hard time with Kaosu.
He walked around the area until he found someone from the A-list.
"Hey, are you Kaosu? Sorry, I had a few things to do. Ready to begin our spar?"
