[quote=rusty4297] Squad 3's MissionThe boy was lifted by his shirt. He stared Hikari straight in the eye, seemingly indifferent to the large spiritual pressure that was being released in front of him. "You either take the coins, or simply fight and die... I won't be going anywhere I don't want to go..." His arm was still held out like it had a weapon, but suddenly, his body seemed to dissipate into nothingness. His spiritual energy seemed to disappear instantly as his image disappeared. (Secret info that Hikari might be informed of through PM under certain circumstances) As his spiritual energy disappeared, he reappeared on the other side of Hikari. "And like I said... I'll kill you..." This time, instead of simply holding his arm out as if he had a weapon, did in fact have a weapon in his hand. He swung the sword (not a zanpakuto, just a simple sword) at Hikari at higher speeds than expected. Anyone with a good ability to sense spiritual energy would sense an instantaneous spike in his energy that lasted for as long as the swing.Julia nodded as he explained how it was working in squad six. She continued walking, following along with Kenta, and thought about the two options he gave. "Well... we could use an ambush instead... I can move through solid objects like they're not even there, so if you scare him into a corner, I can come from the corner and attack..." She glanced to Kenta as she suggested her plan, but also though over the other options, Ryan simply moved his zanpakuto to block the attack, standing there as Shiro attempted to use a small amount of spiritual energy for control. "Taking it easy on purpose won't make this training help you at all..." He shunpo'd back, pointing to Shiro, "You like combat, right? That's how it seems when you fight... what if I promise to let you fight me at my full strength if you learn some control during this training?" He used Byakurai in Shiro's direction using the already pointed finger. "Would that make you get the most out of this training?"John blinked, then nodded. He held his blade in front of him, staring directly at Kurisa. "Exit your cage... Himitsu Shishi!" His zanpakuto transformed into the shikai state, creating claws at the end of each of his fingers and toes. He growled slightly before charging at Kurisa. As he got closer, he swung one of his arms at his opponent, the other arm touching down on the ground to keep his mobility up. One of his legs followed after the arm, aiming to double the damage, or double the chance of hit. [/quote] Shiro "Fight me at your full!?" a grin formed on Shiro's face as his Spiritual energy rose greatly whilst he slashed away at the Byakurai more so trying to use his Zanpakuto to change it's course "I guess I can take it seriously if that is the case" Shiro didn't seem to show much control at the moment but he was trying...more trying to contain his excitement as that always seemed to be the thing that made his Spiritual energy rise. Shiro then manifested spiritual energy in a physical form around his Zanpakuto then slashed at his Captain releasing a rather out of control arc of energy however it seemed more controlled then the ones he had used before...not by much but it showed he was trying to take this seriously Kurisa Kurisa watched as John activated his Zanpakuto then came at him preparing to strike him and Kurisa let him do so but when John hit Kurisa didn't move in the slightest..almost as if nothing hit him at all "Want to know why I told you that you could attack me? it's the difference in our power...Spiritual energy isn't just used for attacks...it's used for defense...it hardens the skin...and...if your opponents spiritual energy is much greater than your own...well...you can see the difference it makes" Kurisa then held out his right arm and extended his index finger then spoke "Hado 1..." he planned to just throw John back without causing any real harm but even the Kido would make it feel as if he got a hard punch. "Don't get angry that you cannot do damage to me...that isn't the point...I'm trying to view your skills and test their power. Said I was a Shinigami around your level that would have likely done damage...but as I'm a Shinigami far above your level the effects are nullified." Kurisa crossed his arms once more and waited for John to show him something else..
