Kintaro watched as Mockadash made the sphere appear in a controlled and speedy motion in his hand. "Kinda like the training I had for obtaining the zanpakutou... But I can't do it so fast though..." Kintaro extended his right arm in front of his body and opened his hand. He immediatly forced some reiatsu into that part of the body. The usual feeling of warmth came to him as a small blue reiatsu flame ball formed... only to be consumed by its own growing flame that surrounded the reiatsus small sphere... As soon as Kintaro noticed that he couldn't control the blue flames he decided to stop flowing the reiatsu and the small sphere vanished into thin air. "Damn... i can't contain the flame yet... This happened before, I seem to make the sphere but I can't control the flames that appear... No need to worry, cause its actually a flame that doesn't burn. But I wouldn't risk letting it ignite further while attempting to develop the sphere to a larger size without knowing what it can do..." He then looked to Mockadash as he lowered his hand and asked: "Have You ever seen something like this? Do You know what can be causing this?"

MockaDash was surprised... He had never seen such strange reiatsu manifestation... Not in a new shinigami, anyway...
I have a clue as to what that might be... It might be something similar to what happened to me, at first... You see, my zanpakutou's reiatsu sometimes comes into conflict with my own reiatsu... Maybe the flames have something to do with that... But I've never seen reiatsu like that before...
I have an idea... Show me the kidous you've already know... Do you see that target over there?... Mock said, as he pointed at one of the targets in the room...
Use hadou#1 to throw it to the ground...

Kintaro became a bit scared by not being able to control this "zanpakutous reiatsu" Mockadash was talking about... What if that would be an impediment in his kidou training? But he tried to forget about that for now, and focused on the task at hand. "Ok. Actually this is the one I've done first... Here it goes..." he said while positioning himself facing the target that was a few feet away.
"Hadou #1 - Shou !" he said after pointing his left hands palm to the target. The target was thrown to the wall behind it with a lot of speed like it had been runned over by an invisible wall and splited in two, letting out banging and crashing sounds in the small instance it hit the wall.
"Maybe I used too much reiatsu... confused Should I try again with a bit less reiatsu? sweatdrop " he said as he looked to his friend "Sorry about destroying the target... Perhaps we needed to use the target later on, right?" neutral

Kintaro was unaware of what Mockadash meant by asking If He knew what he was doing and described the process: "Well, I've made reiatsu flow at the palm of my hand, made it focus on the center of it. Aimed for the target by making my middle finger hide it and lifting the hand in order to make it be at the same level as the target. And as I summoned the hadou, I released the focused and compressed reiatsu. But I really didn't meant to destroy the target... honestly. sweatdrop Did I miss something important while performing the hadou, Mockadash?"

That's all very nice... But that's not the answer to my question...
What I meant to ask you, was... How did you move the target???... The only thing I was able to see, was you opening your palm... Look at me... Mock opened his right hand's palm, and pointed it at another target... Nothing happened...
You see??? For the untrained eye... We both did the same thing... A shinigami, knows and is able to spot the difference between what you did, and what I've just done... Why is that??? Answer me please...
And also answer the first question... Why did the target move??? What made it move???

"I believe its due to my released reiatsus interaction with the spirit particles along the direction of my aim, which will force the target to move... But I actually can't be sure about it." said Kintaro. "As for the 2nd question... You didn't mention the Hadou you were trying to perform...? The necessary reiatsu was there..." he concluded. "I do feel that training with You will be a nice thing. xd You do seem to know how to teach 3nodding "

The second answer you gave me is wrong... I did not actually charge any reiatsu on my hand... A trained shinigami is able to feel reiatsu and spirit particles around him... With the proper focus and training, you too should be able to easily do it... If you would had paid attention, you would've noticed that I was just opening my palm without charging reiatsu on it...
This takes us to the first question... That you actually got right!!!
Now here comes the core of all this questionnaire...
If you are able to focus reiatsu into your hand, and actually force it to be expelled from it, and interact with the surrounding spiritual particles in Soul Society in a specific direction and conformation... Why can't you just shape it into a sphere, instead of releasing it???
Think about it... It's the same fundamentals!!! You actually have to put greater effort into the hadou you've just performed!!! Recklessly releasing the reiatsu is child's-play, But that's not what Shou is about... In the Hadou you've just performed, you had to "tame" the reiatsu into following a straight line...
If you are able to do it... Then you should be able to force it and mold it into the shape of a sphere... Just think of compressing it equally on all sides and you'll be able to do it!!!!!...
Now...
Try doing it one more time...

Kintaro made the same motion with his arm like the last time he attempted to do the reiatsu sphere. "Compress equally on all sides... Okay... lets do this!" he thought. Same as before he forced the reiatsu to his hand. As before, a small sphere appeared like blue flames circling each other. "All sides equally compressed!" The recently formed reiatsu ball began growing. the flames now appearing to circle the surface of the reiatsu ball. "All sides equally compressed!" The sphere was now the size of a football still growing with the flames moving through it with imense intensity. "All sides equally compressed!" The sphere was about the same size as the one Mockadash had made. The flames were inside the reiatsu ball dancing with one another. "Looks like I've made it... but it has been hard to focus in controlling the flames while enlarging the reiatsu... Training will make me better at it eventually. What now?" finally said Kintaro

Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudou #9 -- Geki!!! MockaDash was muttering the incantation while Kintaro was self-absorbed with creating the sphere of reiatsu... Mock opened his right palm pointed straight at his friend... A Shining red orb started to form on his palm, and upon finishing the incantation, Mock released it towards Kintaro...
The orb grew as it came close to the shinigami, completely engulfing him inside it... Kintaro was totally paralyzed!
This is how you cast Geki... You focus your reiatsu in a similar manner to the one you employed just now... While doing this, you perform the incantation that I told you earlier... It is very important that you become accustomed to both this actions, so to not lose focus... You cannot chant the incantation wrong, or you'll have to start it all over... And you must focus your reiatsu and shape it effectively... After doing this, you can release the reiatsu you've charged into your palm, in the same way you do with Shou... It's important to effectively aim the spell, but also to effectively "shape" it's path, unlike you did with your shou, earlier...
Now I'll release you in order for you to start practicing what you just saw me do...
I'll leave the training up to you... You can either try and memorize the incantation, so you can chant it almost without rationalizing the words, in order for you to be able to say them under the stress of a life-or-death situation... You may practice shaping a sphere, like the one you just did... It's not the same thing, but if you perfect one technique, it will help you to perfect the other... Finally, you can perfect your control over the direction of the bakudou and on the way it's reiatsu - your own - interacts with surrounding spiritual particles... You can do this by training the hadou Shou... Your accuracy and control over this hadou should have greatly improved, now that you have a little more control over you reiatsu focusing abilities!!!...
MockaDash released Kintaro, simply by also releasing his control over the red glowing sphere of reiatsu around him...
Start training!!!...

Kintaro was amazed at the effectiveness of the bakudou. He had been completely paralized for the entire time Mockadash made the explanation. "Okay, I'll start on it!" he said as he was released. He started by training his sphere formation, the one thing it would have to be really worked on. And after making it about 15 times, he felt it was easier than it was a while back. He decided to experience for the first time, the release of the sphere with the encantation. "Desintegrate, you black dog of (...) Londanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudou #9 Geki!" he said as he had finished performing a sphere in his extended arm to one of the targets standing in that room. The sphere was released like the reiatsu he had once built for the shou hadou and it expanded into nothingness as soon as it had left his hand. "Humm... what was the name of the dogs place? sweatdrop "

MockaDash let out a sigh Don't rush into things, Kintaro!!! If you want my advice, I strongly recommend that you train each part of the bakudou, separately... And when you're confident enough, you can do it all together...
You're getting better at focusing the reiatsu on your hand, but don't forget that for this technique you don't simply focus it like you do when you just want to create a sphere of reiatsu... That is just an exercise for you to do...
That was one of the reasons why you failed to perform the kidou...
Mock sighed even more... But the main reason you failed, is because you misspelled Rondanini... It's "black dog of Rondanini, and not Londanini...

sweatdrop "Eheh, Yeah Rondanini... ok I'll remember next time! Ok, I'll first practice the sphere a bit more and then the encantation." he said. He practiced some more sphere formation amd soon it felt quite simple to form the reiatsu ball although it was still a bit unstable. The encantation required less physical stress to work on, but Kintaro couldn't remember the Rondanini part very well... "Ronaldini, Panini, Landinini, Randini, Randinini, Rondinini... RONDANINI!!!" As soon as he memorized the encantation he decided to practice the sphere training a bit more untill Kintaro was confident enough to try and effectively produce a efficient geki ball. He then positioned himself facing the target and said the encantation. "Desintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudou #9 Geki!" as he was finishing the encantation he had already positioned his arm and hand in the direction of the previous target and effectively created the reiatsu sphere. When the encantation was done, Kintaro was now focusing on maintaining the course of the geki ball to the target by releasing aditional reiatsu that went by the spiritual particles in the way to the target in order to control a bit the direction of the sphere. It failed... although Kintaro was indeed able to perform the geki spell he couldn't effectively control the gekis direction. The sphere had been on target for a few seconds and then dropped to the floor as it had been deflected or moved by its own and disappeared. "Okay... Almost there, I guess... Pointers, Mockadash?"

Just one... You're still doing one thing wrong... Do you think you can effectively perform a second task, while you are directing the Geki sphere with your reiatsu??? I'll answer that question for you... NO!!! You can't!!!... You can't be focusing on the bakudo's path and direct it, because you'll be letting your guard down!!! You have to know, at the moment you let go of it, that the kidou will hit its target!!!...
I'll give an example for you to better understand this... You need to shoot an arrow and hit the center of a target... What do you do??? Do you carelessly aim at the target and then direct the arrow... Or do you take into consideration the arrow's aim, the speed and direction of the wind, the movement of the target, the speed of the traveling arrow, etc. before even shooting it???...
Do you understand it now???
Mock smiled as he said the next phrase Now, stop aiming at those inanimated objects and aim the kidou at me!!!...

Kintaro was intrigued... "could it be a trick?" he thought. stare "Fine then!" he said as he now faced Mockadash. Making the same movement as before with his left arm and hand, while making the sphere, he summoned for the kidou: Desintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudou #9 Geki! "Just let it go... You've aimed and made the path of the sphere in your head. It won't budge!!!" Kintaro thought to himself. The geki ball was released and was now a straight shot to Mockadash at great speed.
