Getting Close (Reaper Rebirth)

Wed Nov 18, 2015 9:11 am

He hadn't been to squad 11 very much. There were the squad that loved fighting more then any other. It was this love of fighting that made them so effective at what they did. Whenever the seireitei needed to use its brute strength these guys were usually involved. There was often sounds of training and fights happening inside of their barracks which could be intimidating. Being from squad 7 himself he had learned to make himself feel comfortable anywhere or at least appear to be. Any nerves he felt at being here didn't show. If he ever appeared nervous it would make his job a bit harder so he had learned to control his nerves. Still being here did still feel a little weird to him.

The call had some down that special training was to be held and knowing how strong squad 11 was he hadn't been surprised that their captain had been one of the ones selected to host this training. Unfortunately that meant that he could expect the training to be very difficult and most likely exhausting. He should feel almost sick anticipating it but he actually felt excited. He saw it as a chance to learn more and better himself. He took it as a challenge that he must over come. This was something he could do to push himself to grow and get stronger. He wanted to learn as much as he could and this was another step.

They had been given a choice of who to train with and he had decided to come here to squad 11 to train under Ibiki because he thought it would allow him to become more of a well rounded fighter. He had learned many fighting styles and could improvise many others but there were still some gaps in his knowledge that could leave him vulnerable if he ran into the wrong enemy. He hoped that coming here would allow him the chance to close one more of those gaps. It would make him not only stronger but more prepared against a variety of threats. He liked that idea because the worlds had become full of strong individuals and you never really knew what you were going to encounter out there anymore.

He came up to the training grounds inside of the squad 11 section of the seireitei. So far as he knew that was were he was supposed to go to for this training. He wondered what the training would be like and what kind of teacher Ibiki would be. He was usually his own worst critic and he wondered if Ibiki could be strict enough to out do his own critizism. The reason he was so hard on himself was because by looking at his own weaknesses he could improve upon himself. Others try to ignore their faults only realizing them once they are pointed out but he tried to figure out his before they became an issue. All in all he was psyched about this training and he couldn't wait to get started though he was sure that sooner rather then later he would come to regret his eager anticipation.

Training something Mujin would never have enough of and that ideal had him in his current situation forcing himself to stop eating a lovely bowl of noodles and go train he was happy and sad at the same time and would stand as he would start to make his way toward the 11th division, he had no desire to be a master at Hakuda but he still felt like he could use more experience within the style.

Upon entering the academy he formed his own Kido, Hakuda and Zanjustu style but rarely utilized his hand to hand skills though he classified them as slightly above average for his power set. He was now in front of the area leading toward the training grounds and would offer a sigh but it was more a thrilling chill being let out his body, the 11th division was known for Zanjustu but he knew they were skilled in all forms of close combat he would only hope he could be pushed to his limits.

Mujin would enter the training grounds and would look over the only person waiting he would give a look over assuming he was here for the training Mujin would give him a nod and then walk over toward him and hold his hand out for a fist bump there were no words needed just yet.

THE MENACING DEVIL GIRL

Ibiki Suika: 11th Captain
聖フェアリーガール

Song: Futatsuiwa from Sado - Artist: Tatsh - Words: 633

Super dull, super unwanted and super annoying!

While Ibiki was blissfully snoring away her rest from all the hecktive incidents that occurred in the Soul Society, apparently Mr.Tsubasa saw fit to randomly assign her training mission help build up to the new blood within the Gotei 13. Therefore, in accordance with this wish, she was awaken to a loud slam of the door that her duties were required to help with these two Shinigami.

Two Squad Eleven members stormed into The Oni Shinigami's lair -- and were promptly beaten within an inch of their life by the naked Captain out of fear from being so suddenly pulled from the comfort of slumber and rest. However, after recovering, they were able to fill their Menacing Captain up to speed and give her the lo' down.

Apparently, she had two kiddos outside of her gates awaiting the arrival of The Zaraki to come and assist them. Their names? Mujin Makiyoshi and Steven Nuer.

Ugh. Well enough.

After devouring a gallon of sake to get her morning started, the woman felt awake and alert to deal with this hot mess. Even though she was dreaming of something oh so sweet~

As those lewd thoughts started to fade into a cold oblivion, The Menacing Devil Girl saw fit to hurry up and get out of her birthday suit and put on something semi-decent. Since her whole body was feeling hot and bothered, The Devil Shinigami saw fit to go ahead and put on a small black training bra, matching black spats and then she hung a white towel around her neck. No shoes or anything else was needed, as she wanted to feel the frigid pull of the cold earth beneath her toes to wake up a bit more.

Thus...

a hop, skip and a jump was all that was needed in order for The Semi-Drunk-Semi-Awake Shinigami to get a good morning jog in and break the distance between her humble little home and the training grounds of The Division 11 Barracks.

Buh -- that sun was bright as hell, though. Gazing with a disgruntled gaze into the sky, apparently the heat was brewing all around them as if it were a summer day; despite it being in the middle of November at this point. It was annoying given how she felt like she had a hang over, but The Oni Captain would deal and shift to a grin as she gave a gleeful gaze upon the two men whom emerged into her lair.

"Welcome....and DRINK UP!"

Boom, shuffle and pomf!

These three words described the speed and actions made by The Menacing Devil Girl as she emerged straight inbetween them. Then, in another bolt of motion, two large red dinner plates were formed and each had pools of enriched sake within them that were brewed from The Captain's own spiritual essence.

"Have a sip, tell me your names and what you expect from my training. I always like to hear a good tale over drinks, laughs and banter with friends~"

With a devilish grin smeared across her face, this small woman than gave a warm laugh before observing the two in order to determine just how she would enforce her little training exercise with them. In order to have an effective fighting style, a warrior must understand the method from within. That is to say, once they are true to themselves, the reflection of their spirit will whisper sweet knowledge and guide them towards the path of reaching the strongest version of themselves.

Thus, the first test would be divulging their persona and piecing together a path to enrich their inner spirit for combat.

Steven wasn't sure who else to expect to show up for this training with him. He had expected a few more people to show up and they still probably could come later but at that point only two had arrived. He did what he usually does and tries to make a quick judgement of people based on the first impression. Sadly he didn't have much to go on for this other man besides the fact that he had approached with a nod and a gesture for a fist bump. He said no words and none of his actions gave away the kind of man that he was. Steven largely ignored this man's hand feeling it a gesture a bit to friendly considering they didn't really know each other. He did acknowledge him with a nod of his own but beyond that kept to his own devices. He had come here to receive training not make friends. It was possible that the two could bond while undergoing this ordeal but with so little to judge him by Steven didn't rush to any decisions one way or the other regarding that.

When Captain Ibiki showed up he was quite perplexed by her. He had a bit more to judge her on. From her speedy approach to, to her attire (or lack thereof), to her offering them sake moments after meeting them right before they were supposed to be training together. He had never actually meet all of the captains and certainly not Ibiki and he had to say that she wasn't what he had pictured. He figured the captain of the combat squad would be more serious and straightforward. He had to rethink his picture of her because he knew that even as relaxed as she seemed he was sure that she could kick his ass no problem if she chose to. He needed to figure out how to not get on her bad side.

First things first for not getting on her bad side would probably be to listen to her. He assumed she wasn't testing them this early or at least not some trick test where he was supposed to not listen to her. He picked up the plate took a sip of the sake as she had bid and while he wasn't exactly an expert on drinks he could tell that something was odd about this particular drink. He could almost feel energy flow from the drink. "My name is Steven." he would start out. He didn't bother with last name figuring it wasn't the most important thing in the world at the moment. "I have learned many different styles of fighting. Because of this I am fairly well able to adapt to most situations. But I never really learned much hand to hand. I am hoping to fill his hole in my knowledge, to cover a weakness of mine."

He knew that it was impossible to know every fighting style in the world and he would always have some hole in his knowledge. Some weakness that somebody could find in his adaptive style. He couldn't cover everything even if he did know where all of his weakness lay. But that didn't stop him from learning as much as he could. An opponent could manage to find weakness from him but he would do everything in his power to make sure that it wouldn't be easy for them. Part of that mean he needed to be here for this training. It would begin to cover another potential weakness. And on top of those reasons he did have to admit he enjoyed the challenge of learning something new every now and again.

Mujin did not hold his hand out for long instead he would turn around dropping his blade on the ground as he began too jump in place this was a training after all and he prided himself on being even in all he studied be it Kido, Zanjustu or Hakuda. Something that allowed him too graduate first in all his classes which was not all too long ago; Mujin still did not belong too a squad something he did not mind in the slightest.

While he waited he would stretch and make sure too be ready for anything, it didn't take long however for the captain too show up holding drinks which Mujin would happily grab drinking it all in one big gulp as he looked over at the male that had refused his fist bump. His name was Steven and Once he was done mujin would look around for somewhere too put the empty cup.

"My name is Mujin Makiyoshi!, i like to stick too a perfectly balanced training regiment. And i planned on improving on my own hand too hand style in this training...can only do so much on your own."

Mujin would stop talking looking down at the cup it had a strange taste now that he finally had stopped too think about it and he would examine the cup before looking over at Steven then back toward the captain, he knew the cup had the captains spiritual essence imbued into it something he caught upon looking at the cup which still had small drops inside, coming into direct contact with the power activated his ability for power sensing which in turn directed him even if in the slightest at the horn bearing girl.

"Do you drink every time you train?"
This was most likely the training group and Mujin would look over the captain mainly due too her size she didn't look like a being of such strength but looks were deceiving and Mujin knew for a fact the captain of this division would be strong even in regards too a captain. He was almost shaking with anticipation and would slowly begin stretching where he stood the sooner they got started would be better for Mujin.

THE MENACING DEVIL GIRL

Ibiki Suika: 11th Captain

Song: Futatsuiwa from Sado - Artist: Tatsh - Words: 1022

Tense, tense~

That was the first thought that came into the mind of The Suika Child as she snickered and observed the body of Steven. So, the remedy for him already came to mind: become less rigid and let himself relax~! Luckily, for that plan, it was already in motion.

For, with the sip of her sake, Steven would feel it's effects kick in and his whole being may very well experience a wonderfully light sensation. Then, his mind would be open and the pathways of social grace would grant him the capacity to express his earnest intents. As, Ibiki's super special booze wouldn't get him piss drunk, but it would put him in that beautiful spot in between where one's inhibitions are loosened, but not so much to where they are an incoherent and lewd mess.

So, hopefully, by the time she was done speaking to the male -- the effects would help lighten him up!

"Steven, huh? That's a very masculine name you got there. Very Greek sounding. I like it!"

With another chug of sake, The Suika Child would gulp down her wondrous alcohol before letting out one relaxed sigh. It was if her entire being was elated, comforted and floating on a puffy white cloud straight into heaven. Maybe those two would share this feeling, but that wasn't too urgent. Nah. She was more interested in hearing about the boy's fighting style.

When she heard that, she already deduced that her training regime was going to be for them today. It was just a matter of looking into their heart a bit and seeing if their spirits had the capacity to grow. Since, they did live in the world world of the aftermath, Ibiki assumed that their souls were going to need to be open, ready and willing to learn for their bodies to become stronger.

Which is why, on that note, The Suika Child soon was seen turning her head back towards Mujin's body and noticing that it was quite loose and relaxed. From how he yawned, stretched and let his tensions eased; she knew she could mold that guy into something decent enough if his character held up. Therefore, she'd wave to him and give a chipper, yet, laid-back smirk:

"Well, well. Nice to meet ya Mujin-sir~"

By the time she was done speaking to him, he'd likely feel the effects of her booze come in, but it would serve to empower him and make him feel more energetic than before. As, the thing she assumed he needed was a spark. Something to make him jump up and feel energized. Therefore, a little pick me up wouldn't hurt, eh?

"I'm happy to see you both drank up. That's good. You'll find a lot of wonders in the bottom of a bottle. You might even find yourself~"

Spinning on her heels, The Suika Child then closed her eyes, gushed red in the face and held her booze container straight to her nimble little bosom. She was in heaven, but became brought back down with a laugh when she heard that Mujin was concerned about her drinking habits. So, she would wriggle her nose, flash step and then give a coy smile at him:

"Oh? I come from a tribe of beastly Shinigami get empowered by the stuff. The more I drink? The greater I feel, hehee. Isn't that great?"

Of course, she could get into the complexities of it, but there wasn't a need to. Instead, she simply danced around, went back to her center position and observed both of them before clapping her palms together.

In that moment, she utilized a summoning kido in order to have two stone, finger-less gloves appear on the hands of both Mujin and Steven. They would be given a few seconds warning as the materialize would attempt to constrict itself around their appendages. If they did not do anything to resist it, then it would forge and they would feel as if their entire body was being weighed down by a mountain or two.

With a wink of the eye, The Menacing Devil Girl would then point her hand at two stone walls in front of them that then expanded upwards of one hundred feet. The objective? Get used to fighting with impact strength. If they wanted to tackle the big bads of the world, they needed to have some OOMPH to their power. So, the best way to do that was to get their muscles exercised and pushed to the brink.

So, she would leap over the wall, pat them both on the back and utter these words:

"Ok, you two need to work as a team to destroy that wall. It's gonna be rough, but I believe you can do it."

Straight and to the point, The Suika Child laughed and then shoved them forward with a smile:

"If you want to learn my hand-to-hand, you need to have some power to back it up! So get crackin' and then you can look forward to fighting each other with it."

Then, she'd sit Indian style, observe and give another chuckle:

"Oh, and feel free to use your spiritual energy. The drinks I gave you were also meant to loosen the pathways of energy in your body so you can tap further into any sort of latent power you have. So, enjoy the enhancements as they should be long-term if you actually work out."

Phew! With that mouthful spat out, the task had been set and they had been put on the fast express train to Suika Training. It was a lot to absorb in, but did they forget? They were in the depths of the Squad 11 Division! Sure, their Captain was lax, but that didn't mean she slacked on training. So they were going to have to get through this, or get to stepping out of here!

Wed Jan 27, 2016 10:58 am

Steven noticed how she looked himself and Mujin over as they introduced themselves. He wondered what exactly she was looking for as she eyed over them, and what it was she found. Was she looking over them for weakness and flaws? Looking at them in order to figure out what areas needed the most improvement? Or was she looking for each of their strengths and gifts. Was she trying to find out how to improve upon that which was already laid in foundation? She had obviously come to some conclusions about them before to long. He had no real idea what type of trainer to expect from her besides that fact that she was apparently liberal with her drink.

Steven didn't really care for drinking that much. He knew the effects of drinking well enough. It clouded the mind and blurred lines that shouldn't be crossed. There were lots of things that should never happen that are performed at the bottom of a bottle. Her comment that he might find himself in it really didn't sound much like him. He couldn't see himself becoming a big drinker since even when he wasn't on duty he really on drank when demanded to by a superior such as Ibiki. He already felt the effects loosening his body and mind a bit as he drank the little he had been given. It was a strange feeling for him who kept himself so reserved. He figured it must be all part of what she had planned.

As she stepped back and started using a kido he raised a brow thinking that most in squad 11 didn't bother with it ever. they had a reputation of being much more physical so he knew it probably wasn't any form of combat kido. He noticed the gloves forming before they finished materializing and knew that it was her doing. He noticed they were made of stone and his first thought was 'figures squad 11 would use weights while training.' It did make a lot of sense from a practical standpoint. Training like that would build up extra strength and endurance and would result in quicker movements without the weights. What he didn't expect as the gloves constricted was how much weight would be placed upon him. He was surprised that it was spread throughout his body not just on his hands. Steven may have trained a lot but he usually focused more on technique then brute force so this much weight brought him to a knee his hands on the ground.

He struggled against the weight wondering if this was how she normally trained. Looking at her so calm he guessed no. She probably drastically lowered the weight for their training. He knew that he would need to follow her advice of using his energy though he wasn't very used to it. He tried to focus as much of energy and effort as he could into his legs knowing he would need to stand and move before anything else. He slowly stood back up against the weight as sweat was already rolling down his face at that effort. He knew that he would definitely get much stronger though he knew the would also go to bed aching and sore for as long as this kept up. He looked over at Mujin wondering how he was dealing with the challenge of the weight.
