[quote=Nicias Askani] Gio used the smoke to hide his movements but wasnt really surprised when Mok gripped his arm. Gio couldnt help but chuckle as he was thrown "you said training, hollows gillians and anyone who can make it useless... so far the one i used worked." he flipped and flew back at mok in an arch trajectory, coming under him with a upward sword strike. The momentum helped Gio throw the rest of his body upward to execute a kazaguruma kick toward Moks head. Gio knew that zanjutsu was his weakest skill point. he had only recently began working on it in the interest of improving. Before that it was hakuda that he dabbled in, only because of he opportunity to enhance strikes by embedding energy into them. He gauged himself at about a seated level in both with hakuda being slightly higher. then there was Hoho, which he demonstrated by shunpoing back into the smoke. [/quote] Mok stared at Gio as he gave his explanation, it made him stare off blankly into space as his eye twitched again. [i] oooooo this kid is lucky hes my student.[/i] Mok though to himself as Mok held his own sword down stopping Gio's in its track while a blue orb formed to the point Gio was about to kick and repelled him. "I will say this. If you were faster you might have been able to pull off that kick, by the way. Being smart with a man, who will literally use Bankai just to make you wet yourself, is not a wise idea. Now next move little one. In fact lets go back to the day you meet me." Mok said as a kido stump formed under Mok as he sat down.
