Future Heritage

Ghislain watched his keen eyes able to see it. He didn't move from his spot on a stump near hers. His perch allowed for keen observation of her reishi. Forcing Reishi wasn't how he believed they should wield it. They were part of the Reishi currents and could do many things with them. He smiled a bit as he could see the confusion at first. But slowly it began to dawn on her what he'd done differently. Ghislain's method was older than the majority of her teachers. He focused in on the power of Reishi and it's finer points. As she began to get it he could hear her profess it to him. That brought a gentle smile to his lips as she spoke now. "That's it, it's a river inside of us. We can divert its path, but when we force it we block ourselves off sometimes. Similar to a beaver we build a dam inside of ourselves. I've seen Quincy lose the power to mainpulate the Reishi before from forcing things." Well step one was completed now came the part he was concerned about.


Stage one was now well and truly behind her. But it didn't get any easier when stage two began. It was time for her to put it into practice but not against nothing. Ghislain slowly removed his shirt and cloak he wore akin to a hunter. Setting them down he cracked his neck side to side. Ghislain's body was mostly muscles and very slender. Ghislain brought arms in front of him cracking them. His joints made popping noises as he prepared himself. "Customarily we move on to stage two. Use offense blut to strick me, I'll defend while you get your feet steady. " Inhaling his cerulean eyes focused now as his defense became clear. Ghislain's veins pulsed and moved to show signs across his body. That he was making himself ready for her offense though no strain became clear. His facial features kept a gentle nature about them. "This is how in Germany before the War with the Shinigami, we trained. Very different place the old world was from the new one we walk in."


Offering her an explanation of the old customs the Eberhart Family would observe. "I was sent off at five years old to begin training with my instructor, didn't finish until I was eight. He was a tough guy my teacher, specialized in Blut and stepping techniques. " Ghislain shrugged his shoulders a bit finishing his history lesson. "So moving on from ancient history, I am going to come at you and help you work on something of a weakness some have. " Ghislain had no intention of hurting the girl but he wanted to make sure she had strategies in place. What if someone was faster and could close the distance to you? What if they held defenses too strong for you to penetrate? These were the things he wanted to make sure she knew. Ghislain's arms came in front of him as he assumed a stance. Something of hand to hand combat but far older as one hand rested behind his back. It gently was set similar to how a fencer holds does but more back.

His other hand came up slowly as he decided to flat out tell her the goal of the next exercise. "We will address, strategies when someone is faster or harder to penetrate their defenses. This way if you run into a situation of melee or otherwise you will be fully prepared. Attack me and we will begin." He said keeping one hand out in front of him. He could teach her several things now about Reishi from here. But also how to be effective in combat regardless of range. The old Quincy could fight from any distance be it melee or ranged. That was due to rather creative training methods. They'd lost them outside of two Quincy at this moment. Ghislain held the secrets of their people from Yhwach's time and memories. But also having been present in the time when they'd been almost killed by them. The other was Nif, she was something of a special case as an elder. But that was all behind them now. Ghislain was very much on the outside looking into the Vandenreich despite Sofia's insistence.

Ghislain stood still as he breathed once now. With a pulse, his power went outwards showing her the potent reishi that flowed from him. Ghislain's energy had been used to bat away the energy alone. This wasn't something uncommon but she wouldn't see it often either. His whitish black energy swirled around him as he used Hiernyaku vanishing. Ghislain's form appeared in front of her sending a thrust that stopped short of her throat. The force behind that attack could have left indents upon the earth. Ghislain cracked his neck as he lowered his digits. If she examined them closely she'd see that his fingertips had Reishi on them. He'd let it flow to his fingertips to form a weapon. "Strings, not a bad idea but in this case a bit risky to reveal your hand soon. " Ghislain closed his eyes changing to stand next to her now as he looked at her position. "Keep in mind Reishi can be hidden and you can hide your skills everywhere. In pockets or even under the earth beneath you. " Reaching down with both hands he gently slipped his hands into his pockets. He'd made reishi threads in them but concealed their length and purpose.

Pulling both hands from his pants pockets suddenly he tossed out into the air length of thread so it would insnare whoever came into contact with it. "Now for the next trick, this one requires a bit more practice but." He stood still as though nothing was going on before small threads shot from the ground like small lines before vanishing. Ghislain had given some suggests to the first portion of the training. Telling her to hide her intentions a bit better strategically. Quincy Pride and everything didn't throw away tactical advantages for that. The next one was a bit rougher to show as he knew it would mess his clothing up. Ghislain walked back to where he stood previously now. Inhaling his blut came to life flowing around his body. It became clear slowly that he was difficult to harm. He'd switched to a defensive form now as he would give her next instruction.

"Alright, covered faster and that may have given you some ideas. Now for someone durable." Ghislain inhaled through his nose letting the air gently pass through his lungs slowly. It was her move and gamble to see what came next.

Ghislain inhaled softly empowering his blut now with reiatsu. Feeling the river flow through his veins of power. Slowly enriching his defense as he began to exhale. The process of defensive strengthening had begun. Slowly his veins pulsed enlarging themselves now. Within moments a strike happened upon his body with a well thought out strategy. She'd used everything very well and it was impressive. As he was struck on his body the area hit seemed to convulse with power. Showing signs of what had been done here. His body's area where he was hit had been pulsating with power now. Raising his hand he let the tides roll towards his fingers now before releasing a wave of energy. His left appendage surged with white and black mist that stopped short of touching her. Sylvia had seen both extremes from him now which he walked away with no scratches on his body. Putting his clothing back on now as he spoke now. "Consequently it's good to figure out what kind of Quincy you wish to be. Some of us are proficient with Blut, stepping, energy manipulation. Or even the act of releasing our energies. "

Ghislain after putting his clothing on decided to pose the question to Sylvia now. "So, what do you seek to obtain from this place and me? Answer that and we'll begin the real training. You've met my requirements thus far perfectly well, so I assume this won't pose a problem." Ghislain said softly as he looked at her with his cerulean eyes. Not taking them off of Sylvia now. Waiting for her to make her choice of who she wanted to be. What sort of Quincy did she aspire to become in the end?
