Well, at least that whole confrontation from Sin blew over pretty quickly. The whole group knew quite well that he was a greenhorn, and pretty nervous. So Akio guessed that it would blow over pretty quickly. Besides, the Jakakumei needed as many people as they could. That was something they all knew. And though Sin was fresh and lacked experience, his potential was substantial. His shikai was very interesting, Akio had crossed swords with him before. That’s why he knew every detail about Kessho, his Zanpakuto. The nature of Akio’s own release made for that.

The situation was not evolving the way the light-blond man had expected. Suddenly, not only was the group on their way home, it was some kind of race. It was expected of Yui, admittedly, to pull something like that while Master Hideyoshi was trying his best to keep a serious mood. What really surprised Akio, was the fact that Sin seemed calm and was in on the challenge. Akira and Ishimatsu were on the sidelines thus far, especially Ishimatsu. He seemed to be more comfortable that way.

The race was admittedly not something Akio was interested in. Shunpo wasn’t his best asset, not really any sort of speed and agility, so he would rather prefer starting up the generator back at the dojo. [i]“Have fun kids”[/i] he said with a light laugh, teasing the two who had already run off racing. Either way, new soldiers from Seireitei could be here any moment, and Akio was hungry for some information. A short confrontation with Kaiganukyo released would be more than enough to quench that thirst.

Akio started walking towards the dojo, not slowly, but surely not very quickly either. With a sigh he looked to the others who hadn't joined the race to see if they would indeed join in on the "fun". "Well, I'm actually really comfortable with starting up the generator. Don't know about you guys" he spoke, gave a twitch of a smile, and resumed the walk towards home.
