[quote=rusty4297] Ryan saw her shunpo down next to him, and begin to attack. As she began swinging, he stepped back, dodging the attacks. His spiritual pressure started rising. "Now for the second part of the test." His spiritual energy returned to its normal levels, and he simply avoided the attacks as he reached his left hand to his face. He let the reiatsu build up around his face, creating his vaizard mask before shunpoing directly in front of her. He stared her down slightly, waiting to see her response, also keeping on eye on the other new recruit to see how he reacted as well. [/quote] [i]Dammit![/i] He was avoiding everything she was sending at him! This wasn't working, and unless she wanted another close call much like before (which she really didn't right now), she had to find another way to damage him. But what was the question? However, the question was thrown from her mind when a sudden rise of spiritual pressure stopped her thoughts dead, quite literally. Golden hues turning a bright crimson in response, her own spiritual pressure flaring around her like a shield. Her right hand automatically going and reaching for the hilt of her Zanpakuto. The mask however, caught her off guard. not good. But with Dokuga yelling at her to get a grip within her own head, within mere moments Kyoko had snapped out of her stunned gaze. Sure, it was clear this mask gave the Captain some kind of extra power, just what was yet to be seen. Whatever the case, it wasn't good. [i]A hollow's mask, what in the heck?[/i] She thought quickly. But this wasn't the time for that, drawing her Zanpakuto in a single motion, the white haired Shinigami sliced upwards, aiming from the younger-looking male's stomach up to his left shoulder. Even if that failed, instead of punches like before, now came a barrage of swift attacks via her Zanpakuto, eyes glowing a bloody red. Looking for any sign of movement, or aura that might help her avoid any attacks coming in her direction. One thing throughout all this remained clear, despite the slight fear within her body, Kyoko remembered. She was still being tested here.
