 Unlike his previous kidou training sessions, Lerato's current session takes place with hardly a thing in sight. Rolling plains of golden wheat and wild grass dance in the afternoon breeze provided by the Soul Societies lovely prarie. It's a warm seventy-eight degrees this day. So let the training begin.
Kidou being trained for:
Hadou: 73
Bakudou: 73, 75, 77, 79

The captain looked around the area he was in rather confused. "Now this can't be right....." Yamoto sighed because once again he was lost, and for some reason he smelled smoke. "I'm supposed to be in the fields down there, but how did I end up here on this mountain. Uh I have to stop getting drunk the night before a training session. AND WHAT THE ******** IS ON FIRE!" The captain looked down only to realize that he was floating above an active volcano. "Oh s**t." Yamoto quickly disappeared from the scene and finally ended up where he needed to be. "Ow owo owowoowo." Yamoto sat down and began to blow on his feet trying to make the skin cool down, but to no avail.

"You reek of alcohol, Captain." Lerato's voice came without him turning his head towards his teacher, though there was an obvious smile hidden within. "I tried to make our sure our training place was a bit less out there, but if your so inclined, I'm sure we could always move it back to the volcano for you... After all, you don't want to cook unevenly, do you?" He asked as he finally turned to greet the Captain of the Fifth Division. Lerato would look a great deal different from the last time the two had met. Not only would Yamato not only notice the increased amount of facial hair -from about three weeks without shaving- but would also a sizable glistening purple scar on his neck in the shape of a clawed gauntlet. "It's good to see you again Captain Shiboo." He spoke in a strong yet respectful tone, bowing at the hip in thanks. "So? What shall I be learning today?"

Yamoto smiled as he heard the familiar voice of his student and friend. "First off I never reek of anything, and maybe I have had a few drinks today." Yamoto laughed a little, but stopped when Lerato mentioned the volcano again. "No I'm good. I think the nice cool earth is perfectly fine." The captain noticed Lerato new physical appearance. He thought the beard was a nice touch, but the scar wasn't a good look for the vice captain. "I thought I taught you how to shunpo. You should have been able to dodge a physical attack especially a short distance one. However I'll put that lecture aside, so we may begin. It is always a pleasure Lerato." The captain smiled as he walked a short distance away from the vice captain. "Let's start out with one of my personal favorites."
Yamoto held out his hand towards nowhere in particular. Almost immediately you could see reiatsu forming around Yamoto's right hand. The reiatsu was so intense it almost looked as if Yamoto's hand was actually glowing. The captain formed the reiatsu into two large balls that slolwy began to circle each other in front of his hand. The captain smiled as he looked at Kiisho. "Due to the fact that I am using the much reiatsu and sighting the incantation, this explosion might be rather big. I would be careful."
Yamoto laughed as his focus went back to the spell. "Ye lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man. On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hado 73. Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down" The two balls of energy released away from Yamoto's hand and rushed towards the target. Immediately on impact the area was engulfed by a large blue pillar of fire that went well above the tree line in the region. Once the fire had subsided and the the smoke had cleared you could see no remains of the wooden dummy at all. "No wonder no one wants to fight me anymore."

"Yes, well I'm afraid to say that it's a bit harder to dodge a frontal assault against the Red Man than it is against most others. Couple that with my own stupidity and it was really just a matter of time before I ended up with a little token of his appreciation..." The man let his voice trail off, refusing to let his mind become overwhelmed with what had happened that night. So many half conscious memories lingered at the edges of his brain that it made it hard to tell what was impending death and what was reality that night. Lerato allowed himself only a second of reflection and even that seemed to have pushed it's limits because when he looked up he had seen the kidou master's energy already starting to form into two neat balls. 'What the hell... can't he wait until I'm out of the blast radius?' Shunpo had already started to prove useful. Just as he had kicked backwards he watched the ground in front of him tremble before becoming engulfed in blue flame.
Landing softly on his toes he looked up to see Captain Shiboo standing a few, perhaps twenty, yards away from him with a satisfied look on his face. "Yeah, that could be it, or it could be because you lack the decency to allow your pupils time to get out of the way! For Christ sake's man, you could have sent me to the hospital!" Perhaps he was over reacting a bit, but Lerato was hard pressed to find a wound he found more annoying then a burn and what he had just narrowly escaped could have been a very bad burn indeed. Shaking off a bit of soot that had wafted over to him he made his way back up to his teacher, taking a firm stance beside him as he gathered his bearings. Forcing his reiatsu into his forefinger and middle finger alike on both hands he concentrated on creating two orbs the size of tennis balls. Rotating one hand under the other he recited the incantation while willing the balls of energy to solidify, "Ye Lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man. On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadou #73, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down." His spell reacted instantly to his words, sending out a magnificent display of blue fire as if it had been shot out of a giant cannon instead of his hands. "Not bad." He muttered, commenting on his own power.

"Yep. Not bad at all. But let's try for a bit more distance this time. What do you say, Yamoto?" The Lieutenant’s grin spread from ear to ear as he rolled his shoulders back and forth to loosen up a bit before trying again. Placing one foot gingerly a head of the other and raising his hands up to chest height Lerato could think of only one thing; spreading his kidou out as far as he could carry it. "Singe the grass beyond your vision. Let the incantation come alive through your words to mold the fire into an unstoppable pillar..." The man walked himself through a quick pep talk as he imagined just what he wanted his spell to look like. Forcing his reiatsu once again into two identical balls at the tips of his fore and middle fingers he rotated one hand under the other while reciting the demon spell's magical words, "Ye Lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man. On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadou #73, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down." No sooner had the words left his mouth did the two balls of energy circle around each other, melding into one before launching a huge pillar of fire parallel to the ground. The barrage of flames seemed to last an eternity, though they could only have been sustained for a few short seconds, but in that time they had devoured every bit of life that had stood in their path.
Lerato turned towards his teacher, wiping a few beads of sweat from his brow as he did so. "Good enough, yeah? I don't think I'll be using that one all too often." He joked as he took in the sight of destruction before him. "I think we should stick to bakudou for a while. I don't think that the field could take much more abuse..." He laughed, calling over his shoulder. "It actually makes you wonder just how many kidou experts it would take to bring this entire place to the ground, you know? A few new spells, a couple people with enough reiatsu and the entire Sereitei would crumble... don't you think?" Lerato asked, glancing over his shoulder.

The captain smiled at the vice captain last statement. "It would only take two kido masters to destroy nearly all of the seretei." Yamoto smiled as he walked away from Lerato in order to perform the next spell. "Luckily the only kido master happens to be on your side."
"This next one is a barrier kido, so you have to use a lot of reiatsu to create it. You have to release the reiatsu around you and begin to form it into the shape of the barrier. This is the foundation for all barrier kido."
The Captain breathed in and out in order tto calm his own mind. "I am going to have use a lot of reiatsu to show you all the step, so I'm just warning you." Yamoto clasped his hand together and immediatly the ground began to break below him. The air around around Yamoto began to glow a faint gold color indicating the the captain reiatsu was mixing with the air. "After you feel like you have enough reiatsu, you can begin to form the barrier." Yamoto closed his eyes and started to imagine the barrier in his mind. He was so familiar with this kido that it was almost instinct for him now to automatically draw the barrier with out really thinking. However he had to slow his movement down when it came to teaching new people the spells. After a minute the reiatsu had taken shape around Yamoto and was now in the form of an upsiude down pyramid with encased the captain. "Finally you solidfy the reiatsu by saying the incantation. Bakudo 73. Inverse Mountain Crystal."
The reiatsu bacame a a blue solid around Yamoto causing the captain to be defended on all side by the kido. He waited a few moments so Lerato to get the drift of the final product. Suddenly the barrier around Yamoto collasped freeing the captain from his defense. "Alright your turn."

"Well, that's unfortunate, isn't it? One would have hoped it would take a bit more to bring down such a large place..." His words were accompanied by an unsettling flash of darkness across his eyes. "Don't worry about me, Captain Shiboo," his eyes, along with his voice, had regained their former softness, "I assure you, I've felt reiatsu before." No sooner had the words left his lips did the ground beneath him begin to tremble, cracking under the weight of the captain's spiritual pressure; though if Lerato felt it at all he didn't let it show. Instead he waited in silence, watching as the barrier spell materialized from nothing. It truly was a feat to behold. The seconds ticked away, one by one, the hay around him swaying to and fro as if going to the beat of a giant metronome. "Seems simple enough. A bit big for my personal liking, but I guess if you needed to shield someone else it'd be hard to beat, eh?" He laughed already thinking about the ways in which he could utilize the full strength of the kidou.
Lerato took three large steps back and turned on his heel to make sure that his field of vision was completely undisturbed. He hadn't cast a barrier spell in quite some time and, as Yamoto had said, it took a lot of reiatsu to maintain it. "No offense, Captain, I just don't want run the risk of it backfiring. Now I don't have to worry as much. If I do lose control of it, the resulting blast should be far enough away from you so you can shunpo away." His tone was absolutely chipper. Turning his attention to an empty space in front of him, the man began to trace the outlines of the inverted pyramid. It didn't take much to imagine the spell. A singular point started to glow a bright electric blue beneath him, four separate lines shooting out at record speeds before connecting to each other at right angles. "Bakudou #73, Inverse Mountain Crystal." Thick blue sheet solidified between the edges of the spell forming a perfectly formed inverted pyramid. After five minutes Lerato let the spell dropped. "Now what?" He asked, raising a single eyebrow as if to ask the captain for a challenge.

Yamoto smiled as he looked at the Vice Captain. "Very good now lets move on shall we. Alright this bakudo is designed to suspend the target motionless. It is the basic principle as 61, but instead of rod you will be making circles with you reiatsu." Yamoto grabbed the nearest wooden dummy near him and threw up the air. "Concentrate you reiatsu in this formation, three circles to the right, left and above the target's head, three circles to the right, left and below the target's feet, two circles to the right and left of the target chest, and the final circle in the middle of the target chest. The spell will cause each circle to pull of the one around it trapping the target in the middle. Like so." Yamoto raised his hand and aimed it towards the falling dummy. He didn't really have to demonstrate every circle this time because Lerato had already mastered the principle. "Bakudo 79. Nine Sunlight Traps." Immediately the dummy stopped in midair as 9 large black holes appeared in the position Yamoto had specified.
As you can see it is a very strong bakudo, and in combination with a few other spells you target would be dead in a matter of moments.

The spell indeed reminded the vice captain of Rikujōkōrō; the main difference being the amount of points in which the practitioner had to split their concentration. In this regard, Lerato found the spell more closely resembled two Tsuriboshi layered over each other. "Seems you've decided to skip a few for the time being, eh Yamoto?" The smile held in his voice floated easily on the wheat and wild prairie grass. When the captain of the fifth division carried on his explanation the lieutenant lifted his eyes to the now air-borne dummy. 'And he says I'm one for theatrics.' He gave a soft chuckle as the wooden target was stopped in midair by an unseen force. In less than a minute eight masses of black energy were suspended around the target, growing steadily in size with a ninth black hole growing in the middle of what should have been a torso. The spell didn't give off the feeling that many other high level demon arts would have, and yet it still managed to give the surrounding field a sensation of finality. 'If a level seventy-nine feels like this, it makes one wonder just how strong a level ninety-nine binding spell would be.' Of course the mechanics of the stronger spells were likely to be different, but the energy radiating from them would still have to be intense.
As had become common practice for the lieutenant, Lerato stepped up next to the white haired man. Inhaling the calming scent of the hay field sent the vice captain into a brief trance like state while he ran over the steps for the kidou in his head. 'Three above, three below, and three in a belt across the target.' Opting to just layer his own kidou over Yamoto, the olive skinned man raised his left arm and started to call into existence the eight orbs of black energy, though he made sure to make his own spell skewed to the Captain's so that, while Yamoto's would pull directly at the sides of the dummy, his own spell would pull in the target just a few degrees to both their front and rear before aligning it back to the master's demon spell. "Bakudou number seventy-nine, Kuyo Shibari." With the number and classification of the spell spoken aloud the final swirling black mass popped into existence, evident only by the sudden flux in power. Standing with a self-satisfied smile Lerato continued on, "I hope you don't mind me using the same dummy as you. I guess I could have taken the time to throw up my own, but I figured as long as you saw the distinction between the two spells it should be fine, right?"
[Sorry this took so long to get to you. Been either busy -with life or other guild work- or ill. Hope the post is good enough for you. 1]

The captain smiled. Lerato progress was impressive and soon he would surpass Yamoto himself. "I'm impressed and a jealous that squad 1 has such a great vice captain." The captain walked a few yards away from his pupil in order to keep to young shingami from being hit by the next kido. "Yes I know I skipped a few but I just like 79 so much." The captain let out a little laugh of how amusing the last spell was. "Now then the final spell you shall learn today is Bakudo 75. It is fairly difficult to learn because it require a high level of reiatsu control, but I sure you can handle it." Yamoto clasped his hands together as would a young child in prayer. "The is the hand position you will use to activate this spell. Now comes the tricky part. You must focus you reiastu above you target into five pillars that will fall from the sky pinning the target to the ground. He then began to focus slowly drawing reiatsu from inside his body and sending it to the intended spot 20 feet above him and five feet in front of him. The captain began to build each pillar one by one making sure the amount of reiatsu in each pillar was exactly the same as the one next to it. "As always I used more reiatsu than needed to get the visual point across. The captain motioned to the sky were any trained eye could see the reiastu were the pillars had been formed. The pillars were not formed by the words of the spell yet but Yamoto knew from just looking that Lerato could see what the captain had been going for.
"To know you the spell will work five small orbs should appear above you hands once you have said the incantation." Yamoto let out a little gasp for air. s**t I used to much reiatsu and I should probably hurry up. "Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end. Bakudo 75. Five-Post Iron Weights" As the captain had explained five small orbs of light appeared above his hand indicating that the spell was ready. Once the captain saw these orbs he slammed both hands to the ground causing the orbs to disappear truly activating the spell. He looked up just in time to see all five pillars hit the ground with a loud thud. The ground below the pillars cracked from the weight of the massive objects.
"You see if you get hit by that you are going any where." Unless you are ridiculously powerful........ The captain looked at Lerato with a smile. Your turn and try not to hit me. As you can tell this spell is rather massive so focus."
(1 or 2 post and sorry for taking so long and you automatically get 77 cause honestly no one ******** uses it.)

'One more kidou and I'll be done for the day...' The thought pleased him more than he had expected. Even with the added vitality of youth the lieutenant was starting to sweat from the strain of so many new spells one right after the other. With a smile the heavily scarred shinigami shrugged off the compliments and focused his attention on the final spell of the evening. "It's fine. If nothing else, it makes for a more interesting day." He joked. The kidou was indeed powerful, the force of it hitting shook the ground with a force one would have expected from a devastating earthquake. "Alright, seems like an easy enough spell to perform. Five pillars, connected at the top by chain, made with the intention of immobilizing the target... But I have to question the efficiency of a spell that requires the target to be laying down to achieve full potency. After all there would be no point in five pillars unless you meant for them to be located on the four limbs and the core of the body, correct?" Of all the spells he had come across so far, this seemed to be one of the most asinine.
With a slight nod the lieutenant used Shunpo to step away from Yamoto and, with a fair amount a distance between them, started to focus the last bits of his energy into a finite point in the center of his folded hands. A second later the energy that had been contained just a few seconds prior was split and released in the form of five glowing orbs, each about the size of a golf ball. Raising his hands Lerato forced the glowing balls of energy into the waiting sky and started to form them into the five pillars the spell was so known for. “Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end.” About fifty feet above him, and ten feet in front, the pillars of energy solidified, chains dangling from the top, “Bakudou #75, Gochutekkan.” Feeling the last bits of energy starting to drain from him Lerato thrust his hands into the ground sending the five massive pillars to the ground in kind. After stabilizing the spell for a few minutes Lerato let out a sigh and dismissed the draw of energy, watching the spell dissipate into the fields of wheat and wild glass. “I… I think that’s enough for the day anyway, yeah?” He panted as he wiped a fine film of sweat from his brow.
