xxxxx █▐ ☆xxx⊰ TRAINING GROUNDS ⊱The Squad Seven's Training Grounds are different to many others. With a thick forest as its basis, it is used for training many other things, that are not occupied with brute force, something that is usually not found in this Squad. It allows for the training of sense and the ability to fight one even when in an uncomfortable, since one cannot see the other person all the time, place such as this.

Linuen entered the training grounds with a smile before he stopped dead at the sight that took his attention. He looked around and saw nothing but a thick, dense forest. He could not believe what he saw; he never saw this or even thought about this place as a training ground. Truly, the Seventh Division was unique in some kind of way. The training grounds showed an aura that was meant for both battle training and some others stuffs other than physical improvement. He began to wonder about the other things which he can do in this place.
However, before he could think of an idea, he decided that he should practice more on his Kido and some swordplay. He thought he was going rusty in some kind of way. His Sensei would never allow him to become a loser when he got this far already. "I will do my best, Sensei Aoi! I will bring honor to your name now that I'm here in the Gotei 13!" He exclaimed at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the distance. He smiled and then dashed at the trees nearby; his training started.

[Note: Blue font means memories/past recollections.] "No!" Kei yelled at Linuen. His Sensei observed him from under the trees as the young Linuen skipped from one tree to another. "Don't crisscross your feet when moving, silly boy; they make you likely to fall down!"
Linuen flinched as he moved from one tree to another, with short skips. He looked at behind him and observed the branches with he sipped on to. At that instant, his left foot hit the right when he jumped one more time and he immediately fell down from the branch. He landed at the ground with a dull thud and he felt his forehead bleed. He laughed at himself but stopped immediately when he remembered his Sensei's words when Linuen first made his accident in tree-skipping.
"Utter foolishness." Kei said, shaking his head in disapproval. "I told you to watch your feet! Look at you! You're bleeding! Let's get that patched up with Falhannah. Come on, now."
Linuen stood up and then sat at the nearby tree which he fell from. He leaned on it and then sat down, giving off a brief sigh. Then, he touched the wound in his forehead and realized it was quite a bump he got. All of the sudden, tears welled up in his eyes and he started to sob. He grabbed the charm that hung in his right ear and then grasped it tightly. Memories of his Sensei and him filled his senses and he couldn't stop crying. He held the charm that Kei gave to Linuen before he left for the Gotei 13 and resume his job; his Sensei did not come back after that.
"Sensei..." he called softly. His crouched up in a sitting position for his body began to tremble as tears ran down from his eyes.
"That is the exact reason why I don't want you to go at the Gotei 13! You are so random and totally unpredictable." Kei yelled at him as the young Linuen sat in front of his Sensei. "At some moments you're fun and productive and then with just a slight wound you begin crying and began to break down! How do you expect Hiraka-taichou will accept you in the Gotei 13!"
Linuen continued to cry. "But you said you're going to accept me not Hiraka-taichou!" He wept.
"Then I'll make sure Hiraka-taichou goes through you before me then. I will reject your application for the Fourth Division if you keep on crying! You're just like Falhannah; you guys cry too much." Kei snapped back at Linuen as more tears gushed from his eyes to his cheeks.
Suddenly, an image of a woman with bright blue dress appeared beside Linuen and calmed him down. "You know, Kei-taichou, I suggest you go take a rest in the other room. You're all over, Linuen. You've been yelling at the boy since the training started earlier this morning and you're tired too. You'll regret it if he backs out at the academy." Falhannah said softly, smiling at Kei.
Kei sighed and the turned to Linuen but this time smiling.

Linuen snapped at his lone mood and then stood up. He tucked back his tears and then wiped some of them with his hand. Then, he put on the charm of his Sensei back to his right ear again. He took a deep breath and then recollected his strength. Sensei Aoi would be disappointed to Linuen of he saw him like that; he must be strong for his Sensei. So, after a moment of calming himself, he skipped and then was now in a branch once more. If he wanted to have a Shikai, he at least must know how to jump from one tree to the next. If he wanted to learn Shunpo, he must trained hard and fast. If he wanted to become strong like Kei Aoi, then he must be better than what he is now.
He took a deep breath once more. With a soft swift skip, Linuen was now in the next tree. The air felt so light and he felt his entire body enveloped by that lightness and felt his entirety to be at one too. There was a series of short skips and Linuen jumped from one tree to another with the slightest of sound. He also noted to not crisscross his footing whenever he made a step and after a moment, he felt faster and safer with every move.
Then, he jumped with a strong leap and then landed at the ground softly. With a blink of an eye, he drew his unusually long katana and then slashed the tree in front of him. There was barely a sound and only the re-sheathing of his blade filled his senses. In a matter of seconds, a thick slit began to appear in the bark of the tree. Then, another moment passed and half of the body of the said tree cracked. Linuen took a sigh and wiped the sweat in his temples.

Lineun moved from one tree to the next whilst imagining his enemies around the dense forest. He looked around and searched for the dummies that he placed all around for his accuracy practice. As he jumped at the next tree, he saw one of them and immediately landed behind it. He swiftly pointed his finger at its shoulder and then said out loud, "Sho!" With a strong burst of reiatsu from the tip of his finger, the dummy flew into the air with its entire upper torso broken to piece due to the intensity of the Kido. He snapped around looking for the next.
Out in a distance, he saw another dummy and immediately jumped at the nearest tree with a swift skip. Following a set of silent jumps, Linuen landed in front of it and made the fastest slash of his katana. He was left standing for a moment and then moment he took the next breath, it was only that moment that the dummy broke in half. Linuen smiled and then felt proud to himself; he thought he was getting faster.
