*It does* Nicely done.

@The World

???: *Another 36 hours pass before I make it out of the hole, leaving only 12 hours before I would have started becoming a hallow. I lay on my side, trying to catch my breath once I get out.*

Jack: That's right.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You can if your control is high enough. Probably won't quite yet, but with more practice you'll learn how to tell.

@The World

???: Then this is gonna be a pain. *Gets up and starts making more attempts, my features no longer changing as I slowly make more progress over the following hours.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Not bad. You've probably got about that long again to make it all the way. Your Spiritual Power is growing quite well.

@The World

???: *Laughs, and then finally lays down to rest.*
I take it there's no middle ground in this training right? I either do it or fail and go through hollow training.

If you don't put enough chakra in, the jutsu won't work. If you put too much in, some is wasted.

@The World

???: *This goes on for the next 24 hours, my features changing slightly each time I start making progress again after getting stuck. By the end of the day I've made it just over halfway up the hole on my last attempt.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: *Watches*

@The World

???: *Takes a break for a moment before my hair changes to blond and I take at it again with renewed energy, making a little progress this time.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: ... *Goes back to the hole*

@The World

???: *Is still making my attempts, clearly not making any progress yet.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: *Walks back out to the last sibling* Alright, we've got some time to get you started now.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Thanks~ It comes from a tv show's movie.

@The World

*You find Samantha's body slumped over, unconscious just like Salvador's became when you pushed his soul out. If Suzy is checked on, the same result is seen.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: *Trips you as you come in so you fall into a deep hole* Kin. *Forms a hand sign and your arms are tied to your back with an incredibly strong force* You'll find that you can't move as well in your spiritual body as you could in your living body, since you don't have much Spiritual Power yet. Your goal is to climb out of that hole to become a Soul Reaper. *Points at the ground next to you* That hole is filled with a gas that'll hasten the corrosion of your Soul Chain. If it corrodes away completely, it'll open a hole in your chest and you'll become a Hollow, being stuck on that route to power instead. You have seventy-two hours at most, probably a lot less. Good luck.

@The World

*When I hit the bottom of the hole, the guise of Salvador fades away and you see an androgynous looking person with short black hair laying there, laughing a little.*
???: I have to say, I wasn't expecting to get dragged out by this, but whatever. I'll complete this training.
*Gets up and starts making my attempts, not getting very far to start off with.*

*Watches, humming*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: Alright, so. *Grabs the chain and breaks it at the halfway mark* Follow me. *Goes into the nearest door*

@The World

Salvador: ... *Follows.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Grabs the book and opens to the index* Let's see... Here, try this one. *Flips to a page labelled "Stone Dragon Jutsu" which lists 48 hand seals in a specific order* I'd recommend practicing the seals without pouring chakra in until you can do it fairly quickly.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Jack: *Shouts* Cupid!

- What!?

Jack: C'mere a minute!

- *Walks in* What?

Jack: Kamui that bird.

- Whatever. *Looks at Absence and it disappears into a pocket dimension* Aight, I'm out. See ya~ *Goes back to the forest area*

@The World

Salvador: Gonna say, that temporary measure is appreciated.
