19 Demi-hollow training (1/2)
Once the explanation was over they then moved to an abandoned building.
As they were walking Shiba Aiko started speaking,
”Now, as members of class 1 you will now take part in a dummy hollow training programme. The other classes will return to Soul Society while you guys will stay here and take care of hollows. Don't worry they aren't too strong. I'd recommend you guys search in groups. We sixth years will see how you take care of them and grade you at the end. Scatter.”
She shunpoed away right when she finished. The members of class 1 were taken aback but quickly came to their senses and started forming groups. They were elites for a reason.
Once everyone formed their group they realised that they were missing a person.
”Where's Itsuki-san” a random girl called out,
”He's probably gone off on his own, that stuck up” a male classmate called out of spite,
”Maybe you can do the same, if you had his talents” the same girl defended.
This shut them up as what she said was true. No matter what class it was, Itsuki always came first. They even found out that the head teacher of class 1 Gengoro Onabara himself sparred against him with swords. When they thought about this it dulled there spirits.
Oblivious to his classmates talking, Itsuki was quite excited about this times training. He can finally put all he learnt in active battle, although they were only dummy hollows, not proper ones. Looking around he came across a building. It wasn't an old building and looked fairly new, however, it was burned all over.
He could see a spirit chained to the building, realising it was an earthbound spirit he came close to try and perform konso on it. Although he hadn't awakened his zanpakuto, he was still able to perform it. Coming close, he finally could see the spirit. It was a middle aged man dressed in an expensive looking yukata. It was screaming around nonsense,
”This business is mine!”
”The girls at the red light district all mine!”
However as soon as Itsuki came close, the chain connected to the spirit suddenly corroded instantly and cracks started to show on the man's face.
”Aaaaaggggghhhhh”
A hollow like scream poured out of his mouth as his reiatsu just spiked up. A white mask slowly appeared on his face as his clothes fell off. His whole body grew as it turned blue as he lost all his human features. Wisp like eyes appeared as the hollow's natural instinct to devour souls took over. All rationality gone, it lunged towards Itsuki as he was the nearest soul.
Without panic, Itsuki quickly bought his hands up and started drawing symbols in the air while red energy appeared around him as he shouted
”Bakudo #9 Geki”
The hollow suddenly stopped in its track and fell down causing a crater to appear. Luckily, this was an abandoned place in town so there were no humans in the vicinity. As the dust cleared up, the Hollow could be seen engulfed in the same red energy with its whole body paralysed. Isuki slowly walked towards it and activated his eyes. He wanted to see how the lines of death looked on a hollow. He knew this wasn't a dummy hollow but a genuine one due to the amount of reiatsu released from it.
What Itsuki saw genuinely shocked him. He saw the standard lines of death on the hollow and knew that if he cut through them he would purify it. But he also saw one dot right in the middle of its forehead. Itsuki was immediately captivated by it. Staring at it Itsuki just got an urge to stab it however he restrained himself. He knew that if he stabbed that dot, it would wipe out the existence of that hollow.
