Chapter 253 - Soul: [Shunpo] is pretty good. (2/2)

The next Class was of course about [Kido]. But instead of just one teacher like everyone was expecting there were three, two middle-aged women, and one old dude. Before anyone could start asking questions the old man that looked to be in his 80 takes a step forwards and said.

”Hello my name is Takumi, at my right is teacher Tomoe, and to my left is teacher Tagami. This is the [Kido] class, but each one of us specializes in a different type of [Kido].”(Takumi).

”What do you mean Sensei? there is more than one type of [Kido]?”(Random Student).

”Excellent question. There are three main types of [Kido]: binding spells [Bakudo], destruction spells [Hado], and healing spells [Kaido]. Now each teacher will talk about their own specialization, you can start Tomoe-San.”(Takumi).

”Sure Takumi-San. My main specialty are [Hado] spells. [Hado] are offensive spells which inflict direct damage to the enemy. Their effectiveness differs depending on the user. It is said the effectiveness of the higher-ranked spells is beyond imagination. You turn Tagami-San.”(Tomoe).

”Thanks for your explanation Tomoe-San. My main specialty are [Bakudo] spells. [Bakudo] spells are supplementary spells that can immobilize an enemy or have an effect besides a direct strike. They may seem subtle, but these spells can give their users a tactical advantage when used properly. These are a broad category of defensive spells which block/repel attacks or freezes enemies in place. This class of spells also includes Kidō Barriers & Seals.”(Tagami).

”[Bakudo Barriers] are Focused spiritual energy formed into a solid form of energy. This energy can take on many shapes or colors as determined by the user. Barriers are protective in nature and can be as simple as a barrier only protecting one direction or encompassing all sides of an area. Barriers can be used for containment, and some barriers can be used offensively. Barriers can mask spiritual pressure and can make one spiritually and physically invisible. The strength of a barrier is dependent upon the power of the user. Weak barriers are easily breakable, while strong ones can last for centuries. Barriers created by noble blood are said to be unbreakable by those of lesser status. Certain barriers can be placed beforehand and activated later, while others require certain artifacts and time to activate.”(Tagami).

”[Bakudo Seals] are somewhat similar to barriers, but far more powerful and require far more preparation to create. Seals can only be used by those of sufficient spiritual power, and are meant to hold the most powerful and/or dangerous artifacts or beings. Seals are usually very hard to break.”(Tagami).

”Thanks for your explanation Tagami-San. My specialty lays in [Kaido] AKA healing spells. Also known as healing [Kido]. These spells do not have known names, numbers, or incantations to cast, they simply heal the target. As the user holds his/her hands above the patient's wounds, his/her palms glow with green spiritual energy to facilitate healing. When one heals with regular healing [Kido], they perform Reiatsu restoration first. By doing so, one can attempt to recover the physical body using the patient's restored Reiatsu and the healer's external Reiatsu. Therefore, restoring the Reiatsu when the physical body is in a fully healed state is no trouble at all. And yes I used to be part of squad 4 beforehand, but my passion truly lays in teaching so I've long been retired. And do remember that [Kaido] is also the heaviest type of [Kido] in terms of control requirement.”(Takumi).

”Also most spells are graded on a scale from 1 to 99, spells of the latter being the most powerful and the most difficult to perform. To use [Kido], a Shinigami must recite the specific incantation for the spell, which is often long and requires a few seconds to speak. Of course, the power of a spell relies on the power of the user, as even a low-level spell can be utterly devastating when utilized by a high-class Shinigami.”(Takumi).

”[Kido] can be used for practical purposes as well. Like using it to light a dark hallway if the spell is tweaked in the right way, albeit with less power. Also, no [Kido] will last forever and will erode with time, as with anything created by living things will die because all living things will eventually die.”(Takumi).

”For now your classes will be solely focused on learning [Reiatsu] control, and only after at least a month of that will the class split themselves into the three disciplines mentioned. [Kido] is something dangerous, So I don't want to see any childish behavior in my class. I also-”(Takumi).

After that Takumi proceed with his lecture, talking about all kinds of different subjects and scenarios. In the middle of his explanation, Tomoe and Tagami went through the class distributing some objects to help us practice our [Reiatsu] control. Takumi also used this time to explain a wide number of exercises that can help someone with their [Reiatsu] control.

The class was pretty interesting and entertaining, Allessa definitively loved it, but I guess Spell is her thing so I am not surprised.

The [Kido] classes took the whole day with only a huge break for lunch, but after that, the classes still continued. I can definitely understand where the Shinigami academy is going with this kind of schedule. They will alternate between physical and mental disciplines, one day we will have [Zanjutsu], [Hakuda], and [Hoho] meaning a pretty heavy physical day. So the next day is sort of a mentally focused day with [Bakudo], [Hado], and [Kaido] an interesting arrangement if I do say myself. They could also make one physical heavy and two mental heavy classes per day or vice versa, like this, the students sort of having a pretty filled and balanced schedule.

Of course, there are also other non-shinigami obligatory classes, like history, ethics, economics, math, etc. Thankfully you can easily skip those classes if you pass their final tests, me and Allessa not having enough patience to deal with that boring crap quickly did the final tests on those classes eliminating our need to attend them. Rick, Gwen, and Elsa are also in the process of studying to pass those classes' final tests and be free of them.

At night I and Allessa were in our laboratory, I was floating in the air in a meditative position. allessa was behind me with her two palms touching my back.

”Are you ready?”(Allessa).

”I am always ready.”(Aizen).

With a deep breath, Allessa's third eye opens, and with a jolt, I suddenly felt three different kinds of energies become connected to my body. Those three energies were savage, unruly, they shone and coursed under my skin making me look like a fancy Christmas tree.

This is a pretty similar scene to when Thanos finally put the final Infinity Gem on his gauntlet completing the set. Sadly for those unruly energies, I have a pretty good pain tolerance. So after nearly one minute shining like a Christmas tree, I went back to normal.

”Soo... How did it go?”(Allessa).

”Pretty good actually, I feel like my mind is faster, stronger, wider, and the same can be said for a lot of aspects of myself. I thought it would be way more difficult to be connected to Omni aspects of reality like speed, strength, and mind.”(Azien).

”Is not that this is easy, its because you are simply way too monstrous... ”(Allessa)

”I know. I already have some pretty interesting ideas here, for example: can the [Speed Force] accelerate my recovery speed? can the [Strength Force] make my energy stronger? can the [Sage Force] expand my [Clairvoyance] range and powers?”(Aizen).

”Yes, probably. Those energies have infinity potential, you just need to be creative.”(Allessa).

”Someone with such an almost indestructible body like mine is a speedster... That got to be a crime somewhere, it's simply too overpowered.”(Aizen).

”Let's go cuddle. You will probably need to climate yourself to the [Tri Forces] for the time being.”(Allessa).

”Sure.”(Aizen).
