Chapter 272 - Soul: Dreaming Training Montage. (2/2)
”Throw my best at you?... Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”.
”Hey, I am not a kid. I am 15.”.
Ignoring his last comment I simply continued talking in a lecturing tone; ”You main form of combat. the sword is?”, he simply nodded. I just tossed his [Zanpakutou] back at him, and even if he almost dropped it he was able to catch the sword in the end.
”Pitful, your sword is. Ignored and alone, he is.”, I said referring to the fact he didn't even try to communicate with his [Zanpakutou], yeah can't blame him but I am honestly just planting a seed for the future here.
Before Ichigo could give a come back I simply instructed; ”Your sword, in the air you will swing. Evaluate your level, I will.”.
”Just swing it in the air? Like... Do I try to cut the air or something?”
Shaking my head I summon my own [Zanpakutou] which is now sheathed and answer; ”No. Clash blades with you I will.”, I said that, but did nothing to remove my sword from its scabbard.
Seeing that Ichigo asked curiously; ”Are you not even going to draw your sword old man?”.
”Less whining, more attacking hmm.”, Ichigo just shrugged telling himself that this is just a dream, so he doesn't have to care much about things anyway.
He runs at me with superhuman speed and swung that huge sword of his in a downwards slash, skillfully I simply redirected his sword rather easily. And seeing that my sword is exceptionally big, big enough to reach my shoulders if I put it vertically, it was more of an Odachi for my size than a Katana really.
I continue with a simple thrust of my sword, which Ichigo found extremely difficult to block, making it hit him on his chest sending the orange-haired teenager backward a few steps. That is one disadvantage of that big sword of his, thankfully we are in a supernatural world so circ.u.mventing human problems becomes easy. And of course, I am limiting myself to his level, it won't do to kill the boy with a poke, will it?
Ichigo quickly retaliated feeling slightly annoyed with the ease I was conducting this ”fight”, he trusted his sword, easily parried, he slashed upwards, easily deviated, he slash horizontally, easily dealt with. Each missed strike of his made him grow exceedingly annoyed at his situation, and every time I just poked him with the sheath only made it worse.
We continued like this until Ichigo grew too frustrated and puffy to continue, huffing he said; ”It's not fair *huff* old man *huff* you are *huff* way stronger than me.”.
”Unfair life, always is. But stronger than you, I am not. Same strength I used, only better technique, I did have.”. He seemly slightly annoyed by this revelation, but he quickly relented seen that I was obviously right.
”Right now, a training plan for you I have. The basics of the sword, I will train you.”, Ichigo seems slightly annoyed at this information, he quickly tried to retort; ” The basics really? I can't be that bad.”.
I just smiled at him and said; ”A monkey on your position, a better job would do.”, I said while thinking about those Monkeys on Mihawk's island, they kicked Zoro's ass quite a lot.
This seems to upset Ichigo a little, but a the end he just relented; ”Okay, whatever. Just get on with it.”, I noded appreciating he was able to hold his temper in check.
After that, I simply explained the basics of [Zanjutsu] to him, demonstrated some of the moves, correct some of his, heard a lot of lamentation about how heavy his sword is. Tiem quickly passed and I could comfortably say in two or three more sessions Kurosaki Ichigo would have a firm grasp of the basics of [Zanjutsu].
”Good. But wake up, now you have.”.
”Wait what-”, I immediately cut him when I simply teleported towards his back and slapped him. This immediately teleported his soul form back towards his body, at the same time I filled his body with [Yang Release] filling him and his soul with vitality to compensate for the lack of sleep. He would wake up well-rested and full of energy.
Appearing close to Allessa she looks at me and says; ”So are you going for the mysterious dream route, huh.”.
”Indeed. He will wake up thinking that all of that was a dream of some sort. I wonder how much time he will take to notice something like that?”, I asked curiosity and amus.e.m.e.nt bleeding through my voice.
”I don't know either... but I thought his father would've noticed his [Reiatsu]... I mean, he already recovered all his powers, and he is a captain for f.u.c.ks sake.”, said Allessa also visible amus.e.m.e.nt in her voice.
”Well, his mother also isn't here. And I am pretty sure she isn't dead. So what is happening?”, I asked letting a mysterious tone bleed through my voice.
Allessa rolled her eyes at my obvious lie; ”You know damn well why. You are just too goddam entertained to explain everything right now.”. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._52566650565741479 for visiting.
”Changing subjects a bit... what did you teach him?”, asked Allessa with slight curiosity in her tone of voice.
”Heh, and who was calling me out on my bullshit previously? You know everything already.”, she just smirked in response while returning to her comfy spectator chair I had resummoned while we talked. With a flick of my hand, the small nightstand containing two neverending cups of delicious beverage, popcorn, ch.i.p.s, and etc reappeared.
”Hah, and the show continues.”, I said while Allessa drank from her cup, while we observed Isshin drop-kick Ichigo awake.
