Ryan nodded, then shunpo'd to the training grounds. When Shiro arrived (assuming he does), Ryan pointed to Shiro "sheathe your zanpakuto. You'll be using a different weapon, one that's blade is only as sharp as your control over spiritual energy." He got the sword for Shiro out of his captain's jacket, as it was hidden somewhere within. "It just increases the overall effect of controlling your spiritual energy, if you can't, it won't be able to cut, despite how much spiritual energy there is to sharpen it." He tossed it in Shiro's direction, and unsheathed his zanpakuto.

John got a look of surprise to him, [i]That easy...?[/i] He followed the captain and blinked as he explained the test was to simply fight against him as best he could. "Are you sure I should fight you...? If I do get any hits in, it'd hurt you, I'd prefer not to do that..." He glanced down to his zanpakuto, unsheathing it despite his words. [i]I wonder if he expects me to use shikai...? I hope not... mine's so... angry...[/i]

Squad 3's Mission (for both groups, now that Hikari was heading towards Chie and Miyume)
The boy glanced back at the shinigami following him. He made note of the fact that only one of the pair was directly behind him, before stopping at random, and turning around. "Why are you following me?" His voice seemed off, it didn't seem hollowfied, but it seemed slightly similar. The boy dropped the bag of coins and pointed at them "If you two want this bag, there it is." He then held out his arm to the side, as if he were holding a weapon, "But if that's not why you're here... I can kill you, just as easily as I took the coins..."

Julia raised an eyebrow at Kenta. [i]Seems he's trying his best to get on my bad side, I haven't even done anything yet...[/i] "I was asking how it was, not what your squad was. I know your squad is all about jailing and the such, but squad two is the punishment squad, the similarities are close enough that I'm curious about what it's like over there..." As he asked if she was ready, she nodded, phasing through him and stepping towards the senkeimon (that's what it was, right?), "Ready as I'll ever be." She stepped into the portal, waiting on the other side for him.
