It came. The day of training where he need to meet Zen for training that he didn't need, well, maybe. It was a great opportunity for 'him' though. Not only this training would provide a lot of insight to the captain's capabilities, but he would be able to make weapons specifically to keep him in check and at the same time, strengthening himself even further. If he wants to reach the level equal to Zen, then he needs to obtain more power. He would be able to protect and strengthen the name of the Yazaki family, honor them and spread their names all over the world. Because he needs more of that strength, this training is an important asset to him. More information, more knowledge, more power.

That young man's name? Hisao Yazaki. Sitting up from his bed within the barracks, he rubbed his hair after staying in there for days after his qualms with his captain, forcing him to overdo himself and coughed up blood. This required him to rest for days and remained quiet for a few days. He needed to restore all of the lost energy that he spent creating an effect known as thermodynamics and really, that put him out of closet and laid on bed because of such a simple task that required nothing more but science to do it.

With a wave of his hand, the inactive Nasods now once activated itself again, floating behind his back in a wing-shaped formation. It is annoying that he had to temporarily abandon his project for awhile due to injuries and unexpected occurrences, especially this training. While he did gather a lot of valuable information from that little.. 'quarrel' he had with the captain, it wasn't enough to deal with his arrogance. If it weren't for the mess both of them had created and the threat that the Captain kindly made, that project of his would've been finished and ready for testing. Sighing with disappointment, it was time to deal with another day of bullshit. His hand reached out to the door, lightly twisted the knob and opened it, only to see a boring set of wall in front of his sight that instantly killed his mood to even walk outside. Well, it is the things that he see almost everyday when he has to go out.

At this time, Zen may already be within the barracks already with plenty of members training with him. Although, the usual and unpleasant thing always happens when Hisao steps right out of his own room; and that is the reduced number of people in the barracks. His reputation within the Kido Corps is very famous, not only he excels in ranged combat and reverse-engineered kidos for his own experiments, but because how cold and ruthless he was to them. As long as they aren't related to him in any way, Hisao would mostly either ignore them or use them as targets for his prototypes. Though, the recent changes far before Zen became Kido Corps's Captain, he stopped caring and disinterested altogether and sealed himself up in his own room, although he does occasionally comes out of his room specifically to visit his family members. That reputation he once built up turned him into a symbol of fear to other members, and the second he comes out? Zen would realize a majority of members, if not, all of them vanished at the sight of Hisao coming out.

He didn't care anymore, to be honest. It is not like he needed an acquaintance or something stupid called a 'friend'. Not making the same mistake from his past again, he doesn't seem to care about others and their opinions of him. With those things aside, at this point, it would most likely be just between himself and the Captain, all alone within the silent training room in the barracks, while most, if not, the rest has left upon seeing Hisao. With a light grin on his face, he sarcastically presented himself in front of the captain as he wanted; professionalism.

"Oh Captain. As the member of the Kido Corps, Hisao Yazaki, I would like to humbly request a training from my honored captain. Such an INSIGNIFICANT being as myself would need aid from someone as knowledgeable as yourself."

As sarcastic as he would speak, Hisao kept himself from saying anything rude that would set off any exploitable things that Zen could retaliate with, or even get angry with. Though, the sarcastic tone from those words are very, very obvious just by being heard by anyone at all. Not only that, Hisao also threw a polite bow to the captain as if paying his respects. And then? A smile on his face was all that needed to complete it.

He had to put on an act for something as ridiculous as this either way. Having Zen to threaten him with something like an execution, it wasn't pleasant at all knowing that it would bring the rest of his family down too if something of this sort were to happen. In all honesty, if it weren't for that, he would've left the Gotei and this shithole, and squash the entire place when the time is right. But the lack of power and skill is what makes him so weak and vulnerable to something as simple as a threat of execution. Gah, now he'll just need to be as professional as possible to draw out some data out of this guy.

It was a beautiful day outside, as it often was in the seretei. Zen was sitting outside sipping some tea in a training courtyard that was at the center of the barracks. While other squads could practice their sword skills indoors, kido required more space, as things could get explosive during practices. He calmly and joyfully drank out of his cup as he kept a full tea set ready in case anyone wanted to join him. The barracks were awfully quiet today, but something made them liven up a bit.

As he sat outside he heard, and then saw a number of shinigami running away from something, well someone. "Ahh, it must be Hisao. He came out of his room." He took another sip after calmly saying those words. He remembered the boy, then again who wouldnt at this point. Not too long ago he attacked him when he was just trying to sy hello to the reclusive member. This had made Zen go into his altered mood to try and show him a lesson. He really hoped that Hisao was alright with it, he was the captain around here and he had to promote synergy at all costs. And he did attack a captain for no reason, someone as smart as him should have known what would have happened.

He smiled at Hisao as he came close and, well, started to be quite sarcastic. Zen let out a small chuckle at it as he said in a calm, sweet voice, quite different from their first interaction. "Its nice to see you again Hisao. I hope that your wounds healed properly." Zen then started to pour a cup of tea for Hisao at the opposite side of where Zen was sitting, and invited him to sit down.

Zen took a sip of his tea, and regardless of whether Hisao had acceted the tea he said "I hope that you take this training much more seriously that our little battle before. You did attack a captain with no provocation and a man as smart as you must have been completely aware of the repercussions of treason within the Gotei 13." He then took a sip of his tea. With this cup done he began to pour himself another cup.

He took a deep breath of air and then let it out slowly "It sure is a wonderful day isnt it?" he said as he looked at Hisao, his eyes now a piercing blue instead of the blood red they were the last time that they spoke. "Now this training is going to be a bit different from the last time we saw eachother. Today you will have the pleasure of attacking me. Though since I did see great potential in your powers I would like you to do it without your delightful creations. If you truly want your powers to grow, you need to use your powers un-enhanced by an exterior force. But before that, you must take a few moments to calm down and center yourself. Be one with your own powers, and more importantly, with your Zanpakutō."

Tch. This is seriously boring, to get not even the slightest reaction out of the captain from his sarcasm. Even Hisao hoped that he would get riled up even for a bit to prove himself as an entertainment for this horrible atmosphere surrounding between their presence. He wanted to be sought and treated professionally, and so Hisao did. He hates this captain, not to mention, he doesn't deserve any respect out of him at all. Of course, he still places way below than all the lists that he has disliked up until now. Though, he is the 3rd living being that he never seem to be fond of at all, the captain being under the list of those who cracked his skull open and shoved a machine into his head. His conclusion of him was an arrogant, too-confident-of-a-man and has ways of blackmailing others to his command. Scum of the earth like him should disappear, but again, Hisao doesn't prefer being controlled and act from his emotions alone. While he may dislike the captain, his time wasn't to waste on a scrapped meat like him since he can be disposed at any given moment if opportunity shows itself. Even the strongest of all has their own weaknesses, and Zen is not excluded out of that cycle.

Tea? Whatever he may have spiked in that cup of the tea, it would be more cautious of him to not drink it. After all, both of them aren't in a good relationship as comrades at all and without saying much, Hisao doesn't have any trust for Zen since it would be safe to assume that it would be unpleasant to drink something from a 'stranger'. So, he would ignore the captain's invitation to sit down and drink with it and instead, he stood next to him without moving an inch from his position.

Letting the captain finish his sentence, his words meant nothing to him. In another case, he finds his statement of 'not relying on exterior forces' very.. annoying and offensive for an engineer like himself. He doesn't simply possess such vast knowledge and not give any work to it. It would just be a waste. Plus, he didn't need to lecture him about being one with his powers and Zanpakutō alike, since he has achieved that long ago. The only issue is that Hisao isn't a fan of showing off his shikai or even use it publicly, since unlike most shinigamis, he does keep his Zanpakutō well-hidden from the public eye.

What in the world does his captain know about him anyway? Hisao himself already knows that he could control his powers well and has achieved his shikai. Calm down and center yourself? How ironic. Especially coming from the captain who decides to release his full spiritual pressure for no apparent reason and can't even take a joke, so much so it had to be called a 'treason'. More ironic than all of the available minerals in the world. Well, again, if he doesn't listen, his family might be in a serious trouble for taking shit because of his own actions; having to take that into consideration to tolerate with a certain man's bullshit.

Considering that the captain has already said his terms on this training, fine then. With a wave of his hand, the Nasods that was floating around him was laid off to the sides and away from the training grounds between himself and the captain in order to prevent any dusts gathering around it. Now? Like he wanted, no 'external forces' to do the tidy work. Hisao wouldn't even bother using his Dynamo nor the Pointer to do any of it. If it was raw power that he wants, then his dear Captain will receive that blow from underestimating him.

Hisao was fairly calm, maintaing a smile on his face; and then a surprise came. With his eyes making contact with Zen, his captain would realize a sudden explosion right before his own face, an explosion capable of ripping right through his skull if he took it directly. Though, there won't be any chances to give either. Iron sand began to anonymously appear right after the explosion, coming in at low volumes first before it began flooding around Zen like whirling tornado without wasting a single second for any escape. How? Since Zen has already witnessed Hisao's abilities, it would most likely be impossible for him to perform these feats, much less creating a sudden explosion and the sudden presence of iron sand that weren't supposed to be here to begin with. Considering the land they are on, there aren't any iron sand, not to mention, normal sand, to manipulate. So, the only conclusion is that it was created out of nowhere. That was the ability of his Data Construction; to build something out of nothing by utilizing something called 'data'. He never bothered revealing it to anyone nor giving details about it. So, it is literally impossible for the captain to know about it either. And there so, it was up Zen to guess what sort of magic trick did Hisao used to perform this surprising act.

Manipulating the iron sand to surround the captain, it would be the best for his interest to keep himself from directly touching the swirling iron sand. Using his reiatsu to drive it away would be much worse as well. Having the iron sand to spin around the captain at high speeds, touching it would tear his flesh off to pieces and using his spiritual pressure would cause a friction between the pressure and iron sand's intense speed, creating a combustion and effectively setting Zen on fire. Since spiritual pressure would affect the state of particles across the air, he takes advantage of that idea and make it so that if he releases his spiritual pressure again just like he did previously, he wouldn't have a happy ending this time and instead, receiving an intensely warm hug from the flames of his own power to burn his body to crisp. While he did use spiritual energy to create iron sand, its existence and functions are still that of any other natural iron sand on earth. Just pretend that the world around them is a computer simulation, and the iron sand is one of those files in a computer.

Hisao may not be powerful, but indeed, he is smart to turn the tides to his favor. Though, he will play it easy for awhile. He IS careful of one thing and that would be the 'thing' that broke his Nasods before. Since he did his calculations beforehand to deal with an annoyance like that piece of shit, he wouldn't have much worries if he tried anything funny the next time his captain pulls that shithead out to help him again. However, it is still problematic that he wasn't given enough time to analyze whatever happened at the time, giving him insufficient number of data to really decipher what was going on. For now, until the captain can make him reveal his shikai, Hisao doubted that he was ever going to take this training seriously.

Just as he heard the beginning noises of an explosion right to his face there was a loud boom in the area. The explosion was stopped. Not extinguished, but just stopped. The energy that would cause it just hovered in air, the vibrations of everything within 5 feet of his body stopped. This did mean that he was also stuck in the position he was in. At that moment he was quite sure that he could quickly get out of this position via flash step, but then he saw the sand start to spin around him.

"It seems like things just got a lot more interesting here" His voice echoed through the area, but he wasnt moving. Just because he couldnt physically move didnt mean he couldnt think or use his powers. He didnt think that he would have to do this THIS early, but he thought it would be fun to give Hisao a nice treat.

"Bankai" The words echoed through the area. The pressure in the area did increase by a bit, but nothing in the situation seemed to happen.

It took a few seconds until effects could be seen. Slowly the tornado of iron sand seemed to stop only in one area. The grey/black sand accumulating in a disk, right in front of where Zen would be. It collected, more and more. The heat from the explosion, the heat from the sand itself stopping, causing it to heat, slowly the sand would start to glow. He internal friction of the forceful stop causing it to, not exactly melt, but was near the melting point.

Zen was able to do this via his Sound Cannon ability. He could stop attacks, that werent physical, directly infront of him, collect them, and then fire them full force. And tthat is exatly what he did.

Suddenly the explosion fired, sending the red hot sand rocketing forward towards its creator. After the attack launched Zen stood up, no longer immobile and said "You do have tons of potential. I dont see why you have to hide behind machines. You are definitely strong on your own."

Interesting! As expected of someone at a level of a Captain. If he was injured or even died just from something as simplistic as that, Zen would've been a laughing stock to be a captain especially within the Kido Corps. Not just that, he even unleashed his bankai! Kuahaha! How desperate is he to show off his powers as if he wanted Hisao to bow down to him and respect him like a captain. Well, leave that be. It does look like he manipulated his creation of iron sand, heating it up through friction and made his decision to throw his present right back him.

How ungrateful of a captain to reject the gift of his Kouhai. Quite saddening, but knowing full well that he was against a captain-level shinigami, Hisao was mentally prepared to deal with any type of counterattacks that may befall upon him. With his knowledge, the heat of the iron sand would definitely burn Hisao up real good if it touched him even the slightest, as well as that the sand has lost its magnetism, causing him to be incapable of manipulating the sand.. or can he?

Bakudo. Hisao's lips lightly muttered, without a number, a name nor an incantation and nothing more than a categorization of what he was about to use. And then, it ruptured 3 layers of barrier before him, possessing just about the same traits as Bakudo #81, Danku. Except, it was reverse-engineered to fit Hisao's capabilities by adjusting usage in spiritual energy and construction, making these barriers as effective as a Bakudo #25. These barriers are attempts to stop the heated iron sand, in case it broke through the first and second layer of the barrier. It is barely a custom kido, since it was slightly modified to be weaker than its original.

If the heated iron sand & its momentum broke through all of them? They'd split into two, flying off to opposite direction and away from Hisao to prevent him from being cooked if he directed it to move past him instead. Without complicating things up, the heated iron sands was attempted to be re-manipulated by Hisao. His ability to manipulate electromagnetism led him to manipulate the electromagnetic radiation that it emits by the iron sand especially when it is close to its melting point, and for so much energy & heat being released because of its intensity, making it easy for him to redirect the entire thing away from him without leaving a mere scratch, not to mention that the barriers would've given him enough time to spread the influence of his electromagnetism and react against it. While it may be a hard work to do so, it is worth the chance to do it.

"I do not care about your thoughts about me hiding behind machines. I'll say it in a simplistic manner, I am an engineer. Because you're just the same, hiding behind your powers."

His words is somewhat true, hypothetically speaking, if Zen lost his powers, there is no longer a place that he can 'hide' in. Like Hisao, if he had lost his knowledge and engineering capabilities, he would not be able to escape 'that place' in the beginning. Like Zen & his bankai, the machines are apart of his 'powers' and nothing else, as if his captain can understand such an easy concept in the first place.

Hadō. Whispered again, without a number, name nor incantation. His finger was strategically placed to face at the direction where Zen is while in the midst of talking in reply to what his captain had said. With a surprise, it would quickly gather high-density spiritual energy as well as enhanced together with an extra small supply of Hisao's spiritual energy against his fingertip, and eventually discharging six bolts of lightning in a hexagonal formation towards Zen.

As long as Zen does not leave out of the 500 meter radius, Hisao would be capable of manually manipulate the direction of the lightning bolts if he were to dodge the lightning bolts, effectively turning it into a homing-type lightning bolt with a limited radius of 500 meters. While it is not impossible to dodge them, it makes things difficult even for a captain like Zen if he does not possess an incredible speed to outrun his manipulation to redirect the bolts of lightning. The extra supply of spiritual energy? It enhances each lightning bolt's damage, and together with its density, it may as well would have enough power to send shocks all over his body and fry some part of his nerves if he is brave enough to even take one of them. Even for a captain, it is terrifying especially when these lightning bolts are amplified to have both the density and the voltage that can even send someone like Zen to strong levels of paralysis and possibly long-term damage if he is not careful. If you are confused, this Hadō mimics the Hadō #4, Byakurai. In exception that it is amplified to have more 'shocking' effects, higher energy output, split into 6 & limited homing capabilities that can even threaten an average captain like Zen.

With that being said, it was time to test out his knowledge and see if Zen can be his guinea pig for a few kidos he has.. changed for his own convenient use.

Zen smiled as he saw the skill that his.... pupil had. He learned to use much higher level kido at lower numbers. True it may not be as strong as the original, even the mere feat of recreating its effects was quite commendable. The barrier did withstand the molten iron, which spit around Hisao, forming channels of the molten metal to his sides. The heat radiating from it was quite intense. Nearby wood was singed, burned, by its mere presence.

Zen chuckled at HIsao's musings. He didnt do so as laughing at his ideas, but that it was sort of true. "You do have a point Hisao." he stopped for a moment as he saw the beams shooting towards him. In an instant Zen flash stepped behind Hisao and said to his mind "But we dont depend solely on them." As that was said he unleashed a flurry of blows to Hisao's back. He wass thrown against the barrier that was infront of him, pinning him in the captain's assault.

Even as the captain of the kido corps Zen was quite adept at hakuda. With his sword gone for centuries he learned how to put his strength into hand to hand combat. His strength was hidden by his appearance, this lithe, tall man packed quite a punch. 55 to be exact. Thats how many it would have taken for the barrier to shatter. As it did Zen finished the assault with a small flick of a finger, sending Hisao flying 10 meters into the sky.

Shit. No matter how fast his brain could process information, even if it was faster than a supercomputer, his body is no different than that of a shinigami's. Being the fact that Hisao is also akin to that of a glass cannon's, an individual who could dish out a lot of power and energy to pressure against foes much more powerful than himself, he is by no means, a person who can take a lot. Hence the term of his fighting style, a glass cannon. So, Zen's furry of blows packed quite the punch in quick succession, only few of Hisao's Nasods managed to intervene to soften some of the blows and only to be destroyed along the way. At the very moment that Zen had stopped his attacks, Hisao would be considerably hurt as a result of this but this, of course, won't entirely stop him from continuing on the fight.

Once he got blown to the sky by a flick, this was the final mistake that his Captain will ever do. With a grin across his face, measly punches like those won't be easy to keep Hisao down. With a shout, only the word Hadō erupted right out of his voice and it will be something that would surprise him for quite a bit. Much like what he did earlier with his own kidos in which he weakens them to suit his own level, this is going to be a feat that no one but himself would dare to try; to reverse the effects of a kido.

A rod of blue-white energy would manifest itself onto Hisao's very hand, a clear indication of a Bakudō #62. Hyapporankan. At mid-air where Zen had flicked him above the sky, he would proceed to throw towards where the captain is located and within a matter of seconds, the rod would suddenly become a quarter of its original size and shape itself into a needle, and multiply itself into a hundred more needles. Unlike the original Bakudo that functions to immobilizing its target, this reversed kido functions the opposite of the kido that he had modified & weakened from. These needles are relentless, raining down onto the captain in attempt to puncture through every flesh of his body and if he was lucky enough, sever one of his veins and cause severe bleeding onto Zen.

Now that his body is carrying a lot of velocity once Hisao begins to fall from the sky, he would gather the remaining 3 Nasods to circulate around his right hand. Clenching it into a fist, a visible electromagnetic field forms itself just at the tip of his fist. He doesn't have a lot of strength of his own, so by making using his fall, if Zen is still alive, he would proceed to attempt to thrust his fist directly against the captain, with an earth-shattering force that carried all of the momentum of his falling body and a huge output of electricity that has half the power of an actual lightning strike. Of course, the electromagnetic field would absorb only the recoil of the momentum to prevent his bones to break in his harm. Otherwise, it does not provide any other defensive abilities if his captain were to retaliate.

And here, with a grin of his face comes together with a little late reply.

"Then prove it to me."

Fri Jun 24, 2016 1:11 pm

Zen smiled at Hisao as he saw what he was doing to fight. Changing kido, using his own body as a weapon. He was finally learning what it meant to fight with his own powers. Zen was happy that his student was learning. Zen simply stood there as the modified kido and Hisao got closer and closer to him. He waited until the right moment, and then he disappeared.

Zen didn flash step away, he simply jumped up. He deftly moved through the spikes, his own speed making them seem to travel a bit slower than they actually were. His masterful speed and reactions allowed him to traverse unnoticed, and unharmed. Zen then appeared behind Hisao. All he did back there was simply give Hisao a simple, powerful, push on the back It didnt cause him any damage, but it did cause him to speed up greatly, quickly passing through the spikes, though he did not hit a single one.

As hisao would fly down a bubble of air would push the spikes around him. If he did hit the ground, all of the spikes would land directly around Hisao outlining his body, barely scraping his clothing. Zen the lightly landed on one of the spikes, barely touching it.

"Congratulations. You pass." he said, looking down and smiling at Hisao.
