[quote=Expllo] Listening and watching, the man had appeared on his left and with great speed grabbed his sheath and had swung his Zanpakuto at him which was wrapped in flames. Hikari could have easily dodged but he wanted to test something. Hikari thought as he let the attack hit him which sent him flying. Mid-air he muttered the words, “Strike and clap, Ken!” which made his sword turned into, well, an even bigger sword. He struck downwards into the ground and landed on his feet, his Shikai stopping the flying. Pulling his Shikai out of the ground with force he held it out and glared at the old man. Hikari thought before he looked at the wound that was dealt, he didn't seem bothered by it but there seemed to be a consistent burn there. Hikari thought as he gathered an idea of the old man's abilities. He looked back at the old man and blinked."You say Shinigami are for mindless murders, saying we kill for no reason," Hikari chuckled, "Now that's just a bit too idiotic don't you think? We kill Hollows to keep a balance.....As for Shinigami as yourself? You threaten the lives of hundreds, thousands, and millions, and you think Shinigami are just mindlessly killing because those types of people are executed? Now I'm not one for straight off killing, but it's for the safety of the Soul Society, so if you're going to talk about this shit then atleast talk with some sense!"Hikari twirled his Shikai with ease, "Kaze rūsu," he muttered as wind began swarming around him though the old man wouldn't feel it considering the distance they were from each other. Hikari then appeared behind the old man, Kaze rūsu enhancing his speed mixed with the speed he already possessed made him deadly fast. The wind was strong enough to throw the old man off his feet if he wasn't careful. Hikari swung his Shikai aiming to cut the old man's back. [/quote] The man watched Hikari as he took the hit and release his Shikai before landing "[u]Quit trying to figure me out...your wasting your time...[/u]" The man then listened as Hikari began speaking and at this point he felt like facepalming "[u]You fool. Hollows are merely tortured souls in which we purify...yes we purify them to keep the balance between the worlds but have you ever asked yourself why hollows still rampage around being allowed to do as they please? why is that the Shinigami will purify a few hollow one day then let them do as they please the next? or have you failed to see that? Hollows ruining people's lives and in turn creating more of them...opposed to merely trying to contain the issue and in turn save Souls the Shinigami deal with it in a brutish way and let souls suffer whilst they kill of the hollow numbers to keep things balanced...it's like an eye for an eye. Hmf...it seems my words are being wasted on you...Just you watch this fight, pay attention to every single move I make...in the end...you will see how the Shinigami lied to you about us...about what we were doing...[/u]" The man watched Hikari then noticed him disappear and re-appear behind him, the flames around the man then grew larger naturally with the wind as he then released a powerful burst of energy that would throw Hikari back and yet...it wasn't wild and untamed it was finely controlled which was shown by how the only thing it damaged was Hikari...everything around the man remained perfectly in tact...
