[@AbigailTenshi] [Center][h3][b][color=92278f]Shinzo Harimaya[/color][/b][/h3][/center] As they got deeper into the forest, everything seemed to get darker and soon eyes lit the scenery around them "[color=92278f]Let the training begin...[/color]" Shinzo said as the hollows leaped out from the darkness towards the three of them, Shinzo made easy work of dodging them and did it with little effort...after all the hollows weren't why he was training here, they just added to the challenge. Shinzo soon put a little distance between him and the other two, his iron scales now activated he continued to dodge the hollows...that was when he sensed it "[color=92278f]About time you showed up...[/color]" Shinzo said as he turned his head back over his right shoulder to see Shizuka behind him, her scythe coming down at him. Shinzo grinned behind his mask he leaped forward, letting Shizuka's scythe crash into the ground and kick up dust "[color=92278f]You know the rules by now...[/color]" Shinzo said as he turned to the dust where Shizuka shot out and ran towards Shinzo before shunpoing left and right rapidly throwing knives towards Shinzo with her left hand before shunpoing behind him, he scythe's inner blade closing in on his neck. Shinzo stood still as the knives hit him and the scythe blade tore through his neck. Shizuka landed and narrowed her eye as she swung her scythe to her right causing Shinzo to jump back...this may have confused the other two if they had been looking but it was a simple afterimage which Shinzo used...yet Shizuka saw through it easily and this was purely down to her training with him for so long. The two continued to carry on the traditional method of Shizuka going on the offensive while Shinzo tried to dodge her...both yet still had to dodge the other hollow around them adding to the challenge...but this was just what they enjoyed doing...Shizuka ran on pure instinct and rarely has to think about her moves...she doesn't plan, she executes...Shinzo was raised to plan things out but that could only take one so far...as it stood right now...Shinzo was learning from Shizuka...trying to run on instinct and not plan things out.
