15 Days at the academy 2 (1/2)

Gengoro stayed in the same spot as Itsuki ran towards him. A clear sound of impact occurred when the swords clashed and before Itsuki could make a second move Gengoro attacked and hit him on the chest.

”Too many openings. Once more”

Itsuki got up, went into the chudan stance and once again rushed at Gengoro. After the hit, Gengoro tried the same attack but it was blocked by Itsuki. Pushing his memory partition and thought acceleration to the limit, Itsuki was able to hang for a few minutes before being taken down.

Seeing Itsuki improving at a visible pace only one thought was in Gengoro's head

'Extremely talented in the sword'

This continued on for an hour before Gengoro dismissed him. Itsuki didn't immediately go to the dormitory but instead headed to the training grounds even though he was still tired. After a round of training he immediately went to his room and, without greeting Gin or even having dinner, he immediately fell asleep.

- The next morning -

Waking up to the sound of his stomach growling, Itsuki got up, washed and went to the cafeteria. As the sun was yet to rise, there was no one in the cafeteria so Itsuki was finally able to eat in peace. Some moments later, Gin finally joined him.

”You couldn't have gotten ready any quieter” asked Gin in an irritated voice as he sat down next to him

Not expecting a reply he continued

”Rangiku and Isazaka-san are in the same Kido class so we'll wait for them”

Itsuki had just eaten when people started pouring into the canteen. They were later joined by Rangiku and Yuroe before they left for Kido classes.

The training field was larger than the one they went to before. It was a long stretch of grass where cardboard target practices were placed at the other end. The teacher and her assistant were already there waiting. Once all the students had arrived, she started her lesson.

First she demonstrated on the assistant teacher by pointing at him

”Bakudo #1. Sai”

She swung her pointing arm to the side as the chant was called out causing the assistant teacher to have both his hands restrained behind him. Everyone looked on in awe as they saw the kido being performed.

She then explained the principle behind it and repeated the incantation, then, just like the others, asked the students to start practicing while correcting their mistakes.

Fortunately for Itsuki, his time spent meditating and emptying his reiatsu has helped increase his control of it. Along with his mental abilities, it wasn't hard for him to quickly learn the kido, even taking it a step further and using it without a chant.

Astonishing another teacher, he was told to visit the library to learn more kidos. The class ended and its was lunch
