Re: The Captain Training Grounds Crystal

[THEFROST] · Thu Feb 13, 2014 9:10 pm

Tsubasa sighed, this Captain didn't get it. Your weakness is what should be your strength.." Tsubasa let her get an idea of what he meant, no chant nothing. He raised his hand releasing 100% of his spiritual pressure now, without releasing his sword. The strain nearly broke a barrier in half. The lighting shot across the land destroying everything, his sheer mass of energy was mind boggling. A blue light formed on his hand, before being shot at her it would miss by an inch this wasn't a mercy but a lesson. The object she shot at him took it being completely vaporized anything getting close was crushed and struck by the lighting of his reiatsu. The blue blast shot and broke all six layers that had been set up, the challenge for him was holding back. The path was massive and it went for several miles, the sheer volume of power he released without holding back was to show her. Had she been in the path of his blast her shield would of suffered damage and she herself may of taken on some. To give a recap of what happened to lead up to this moment, Tsubasa stopped his sword an inch short she didn't know everything. Tsubasa's sheer control of his weapon was second to no one. He used a shunpo to get distance so not to harm her with the volume he would release. Selecting the correct area as the hair came, he looked on as the path blasted straight through the barrier. His eyes looked on as he lowered his hand, having created a large destruction with such a simple Hadō. Stopping and backing off was what made him strong, but she didn't get that her strength didn't need to be in Shunpo he got ready to speak again, he wasn't trying to break her down as he spoke.

"The spar is over Captain Crystal, I have seen where you must improve and gotten a feel for it..You must strength your kido, they will serve you better than sheer speed will. Some of the best Captains of our organization used kido and fought with it, Captain Kuchiki, Captain Hitsugaya, just to name a few. Your greatest strength is untapped at the moment..From here we will tap into while they repair the damage and add more layers to the barrier..Six will not do.." Tsubasa closed his red eyes, leaving it for her to decide she'd been shown a bit of his power the lesson would begin now. He walked to the mountainous area, selecting a spot with some rather large ones that remained untouched. These would have to do for targets, he'd blown away almost everything near her. And did damage outside of that, this wasn't simply a fighting mission, it was to show each person their strength. Her's was not in the speed she'd been preparing herself with. Speed was relative and he'd taught that to most who trained with him.

Tsubasa was a legendary teacher among most, he could teach a fly to be dangerous some said. "Kido, you must grow stronger and have balance simply being quick will not help you..We both can be quick, but I can be powerful..in other aspects, when one thing stands alone it isn't strong..Like the bonds with Zanpakutō, because we are two we are stronger. " Tsubasa explained it, making sure she understood from here on phase two could begin. He'd made his point by blasting with a zero chant full power sokatsui just what he could do. Tsubasa didn't believe himself to be a master in the art, he was great at it. His pressure combined well with most kido and this in turn made him extremely dangerous, but one thing remained evident, his sword play and zanjutsu skills judging on the sheer grace of his movements. Were beyond that of even most regular Captains, his skill level with a sword was comparable to Head Captain Yamamoto's. He had great power yet wielded with an elegant grace that few could master.

Seriously she said to herself. She was no fool. Coming into the battle, she never once expected to best the Commander in any aspect of combat. Although her intellect and her combat skills were highly praised, and she was for the most part held up as a prodigy and a genius, she was still a bit young. She had just recently been appointed as a Captain. Nevertheless, she had taken on the challenge both because she needed, and also because she truly wanted. Not only was her drive to improve in her experiments and combat potential were quite strong, but she saw her strength and latent hidden power as an asset and a duty she had to the Gotei as a Captain. She would tap into her powers, for the benefit of others, and for her own self realizations.

Nevertheless, it was quite difficult to figure the Commander out. Sure, he was there to analyze her strengths and weaknesses and figure out the best way to improve on her current state. To define her true strengths even if she had not thought them out before. But still. He commented on how the attacks and her strategies would be in vain, but there was so much she could do. She faced up to him and attacked him with the best she had to offer. In between her strategies, her substantial speed, for her current amount of power, and her abilities, it was what she had to offer. While she had not released her Bankai, and had not truly used every single item or trick she had at her disposal, changing strategies or choosing a different course of action to fight the Commander would not have yielded better results. At least not at that current time. Just seconds ago, she had been forced away, and her shields taking considerable amount of damage as he released an ungodly amount of energy. Although she had made it through, and was largely undamaged, she was slightly out of breath.

Exhaling, she closed her eyes for a second as a fair amount of spiritual energy exited her body. In a near instant, she was back in her regular state, with her sealed Zanpakutō. It seemed the Commander had had enough time to analyze her strengths and potential and had thus devised an appropriate way to train her. "I understand," was all she said as she walked alongside him. Its not that she was upset with him, although being slightly frustrated with herself. There was just nothing relatively special she should say. His advice was sound, and watching closely and listening would yield much better results than engaging in a back to back dialogue. He was right though. Crystal had never been too big in kido, and it never made sense why. She was a natural. Although a long time ago, she picked up kido with relative easy, and was quite easily among the best, if not the best in the advance class of kido. However, probably because of her dedication to her experiments and her tests during her time at the 12th Division, she never quite invested as much time training her kido. If her abilities and aptitudes were any indication however, she should have a lot she could learn in that form of combat. To be fair, most renown past Captains of the 12th Division had been kido masters, it made sense that Crystal too, should be one. Smiling to herself, she continued to walk forward, a clear look of gratification on her face, both as a result of the current training, and what her Commander was doing for her. She was positive she could pick kido up quite fast, and was now determined to surprise the Commander on how quickly she would learn. Seeing his blast, she was able to witness some of what he spoke. She could conjure a sokatsui just as easily and without having to bother with the incantation. However, it was obvious that the power of his, far exceeded it hers. Nodding with a smile that could only reflect a sense of excitement and dedication she spoke, "Alright, let's do this. What will you have me do first?"

Tsubasa sheathed his sword now, looking at the woman, Crystal was an attractive female now that he had time to look at her. If it hadn't been completely inappropriate he would of perhaps, she asked the next step and directed his head at the mountains. He waved his right hand and a mirror formed as he walked away from destruction he caused. She understood now, kido was the great power that all 12th Division leaders were capable Kido practitioner's. His eyes were crimson, now that someone could look at him better his hair was a blonde that fell over his features and kept a glow even after the fight had concluded. He examined and looked over the frame of Crystal, she was tired. He would need to make the next portion educational so she could rest. Didn't take a doctor to figure out the fact she was tired, she'd been fighting him and had done well, perhaps she'd of beaten someone else. But this training had a purpose and it had been met, he spoke now his voice was calm and seemed as though he'd retained himself without getting too heavily invested and tiring himself out. She could use some stamina training as well, Tsubasa mused over it as he decided to teach her a spell. This would be the practice spell, he also decided one other thing. He flexed his energy as Shunko activated, he decided to let her see it. "You wished to see it? Consider it a reward for doing well." Tsubasa understood she must of felt somewhat disappointed, letting her mind try to grasp the spell he was showing her. That was simple, he wondered what would be a good level of spell for her. Kido was about practice and he needed to make sure she could accurately aim it and be able to control it.

Tsubasa waited allowing her to examine the sparking energy that destroyed the ground, instead of deactivating it he kept it going till she'd gotten to examine it. " Shunko, it's used to envelope the body of the wielder, mostly used by 2nd Division. Practitioner's known are Soifon and her teacher, a couple others. But at current I'm the only one capable of using it within the Gotei 13." Tsubasa explained the move a bit for her, so she could understand the history. Before he waved his arm and the shunko faded, the power seemed to dissipate as he spoke now. "I'll show you how to use Hadō 90, the spell is known as Black Coffin. It's the one I executed during the fight.. Tsubasa brought his index and middle finger together of his right arm. Before raising it a black box formed around the mountain and spears entered from all sides as the mountain crumbled into pieces. His gaze looked towards her, he didn't do it fast. He made sure she got to see exactly how he activated the spell.

From here on would be a learning curve, he saw one of the people coming in about the barrier."Add sixteen layers so as nothing bad happens from here..Go." Tsubasa turned from them and looked at her as he sat down on some stone, resting now as he looked at her. " After you try we'll take a short break..Discuss how the old home's doing and inventions." People did forget, Tsubasa was an inventor but he had such fierce and powerful energy. Some thought he belonged elsewhere, but he was a genius capable of figuring things out in moments. His eyes would hold an object and understand it within mere seconds of seeing it. He reached into his Robes pulling a small pill bottle from it. "Refined energy pills, I designed them by applying my knowledge of medicinal and created something interesting.." He never claimed perfection on anything, Mayuri had once stated it best. Scientists never obtain perfection but do seek it. For once you claim it nothing remains to do for you, it's truly a boring thing to reach.

Tue Feb 18, 2014 12:57 pm

Though the battle had died down for the mean time, her excitement, and her heartbeat did not seem to want to rest, even when the situation called for it. It was excitement. It was anticipation. There was truly not much more to it. Standing by the Commander, she couldn't help notice he was very cute. At a time like this, Kyu, her lieutenant, would have likely smacked the back of her head for thinking that, if he was here, but he was not. Crystal was single. She intended to keep it that way. Although there was no real official relationship, of a romantic-like interest, it was clear that both parties had some interest on eachother in regards to a feeling like the latter. Both fortunately and unfortunately, though both possessed repressed personalities of crazed and wild adolescents, for the most part, they sported the behavior and met the expectations and responsibilities expected of their position. Nevertheless, she had to admit the Commander was very easy on the eyes. Had this not been a training session, and had the Commander not been the Commander, she might have winked and smiled on a rather peculiar way. Well, maybe she wouldn't have. Or she she would. Or she wouldn't. Either way, it did not matter too much at the moment, though part of her had been focusing on his hair, she was attentively paying attention to his every movement. Whether he was aware of it or not, she could only imagine that he was cognizant of her highly analytic nature. Every word, and every action taken by Tsubasa, whether Crystal chose to acknowledge it with a response or a nod, was analyzed and interpreted, specially his combat preferences.

Narrowing her eyes at his comment, she chose not to respond, instead letting her focused gaze and attention be the response to his statement. Shunko, she thought to herself. Though the ability had been yet beyond her grasp it was not foreign to her. She had simply never attempted to train or reach for it, although it was supposed to be extremely rare and difficult to grasp. She did remember hearing of the ex Captain Yorouchi and Soifon in their use of it. It was highly regarded as one of the best. Prior to the battle, she was blissfully unaware of Tsubasa's use of it, but even after seeing him display it she was not quite surprise. The ability was imposing and worthy of praise. She was just not surprise because his abilities and intellect made it simple for him to grasp such a concept, and she would find it difficult to believe he would have trouble with it. On that train of thought, Crystal was no different. Regardless of the Commander's achievements, in her mind, if he could obtain Shunko, with enough work, so could she.

Envelop the body...coating the limbs, flowing through oneself...reiatsu burst...concentration...resolve... in mere seconds there were a plethora of concepts and variables flooding her brain as she watched. His shunko seemed to have an affinity to the element of lightning. She knew of shunko but there was no mention of lightning being the only element. Although she could factor in the possibilities of her own element being like his, she could not forego the possibilities of having a totally different one, and thus would need to allow room to calculate a standard deviation as such. As the shunko faded, she merely kept her eyes where the massive amount of energy once was. Almost as if looking into her own head and mulling over her own thoughts, she dissected the information and tried to find a way to replicate it. Analyzing an ability at face value, seeing their properties and replicating it was a feat not many could accomplish, with Tsubasa and Crystal being one of the rare and gifted few.

"Alright," said Crystal in response to his comment about the kido. Though her attention focused on the upcoming task at hand, part of her brain continued to mull over the information collected on the Shunko and would continue to analyze it on her subconscious on the duration of the kido training. She would master Shunko. She was sure of it. And before the day was through she was bound to make some form of exponential growth on it. She would.

Watching his every movement as his index finger touched the tip of his middle finger, the black box with spears entering from all sides destroyed a small mountain, breaking it into pieces. It was quite the feat. Its not like she got to see a Hadō 90 very often, but by mere observation, she could tell the kido was surprisingly large for having been cast without an incantation. It was but a testament to Tsubasa's power and current dominion over kido. Though she was there to learn, she was there to exceed expectations. The actions she would undertake might not have been the wisest, but she was a Captain, she had to...for her own sake, and for her own self esteem. Once the barriers had been erected, she looked on to a similar sized mountain. She knew the incantation to the Hadō, but she would not use it. For most shinigami, even seated members and vice captains, using a kido over 50 or 60, was likely a very dangerous act that would likely render their attack useless and potentially harm them. Using a Hadō of level 90 without an incantation was near suicide. Being proficient with kido, or extremely good was not enough. Unless the individual had a keen gift and talent at kido, the Hadō would end up blowing up in their face and hurting them in a very dangerous way. She was aware of this. She knew. She knew.

"Hadō 90, Kuroshitsugi!" As she spoke, a small sphere of dark purple energy formed around her hand, it seemed to be momentarily unstable, but instead of imploding, it merely branched out as a very large box covered the mountain she had aimed and spears entered from all sides. Leaving at its wake nothing but pieces of broken rock, the attack had been successful. The box had been a bit smaller than Tsubasa's but that was to be expected since he was indeed stronger. Nevertheless, the kido had been completed, without an incantation, and it had been successful. Although his was still stronger than hers, her kido was substantially larger than most people might have been able to create. With a large smile on her face, hair draping over her upper body, she giggled at him with eyes closed in a look full of gratification and excitement. "Y-Yes. I agree." she said as her panting returned her breathing to normal levels once again. "Would you like to hear of my own experiments sir?"

[THEFROST] · Wed Feb 19, 2014 9:31 am

Tsubasa watched her perform the kido, she did well for her first time doing it. Yes Tsubasa was far stronger than she was that was simply a fact. He was the Head Captain after all, his eyes looked upwards from the position he sat at. He had a few inventions on his person, though of most of his weren't like Crystals. They came from medicine and knowledge of studying everything he could. When he grew up he spent so much time studying, he enjoyed the concept of creating and making things. He pulled out a couple more bottles, he handed on specially to her. It had a revitalization effect, which would help her reiatsu restore. By smelling it, using certain herbs to get the correct smell and monitoring the effects they had on people and including himself. Tsubasa studied more on the effects of the world upon the body, he did infuse things and could create master pieces. But that didn't fascinate him, reality was fascinating. Because so much of it could help but so few of it was used like the herbs in the bottle he'd given Crystal. Spiritually fed herbs could aid in healing and even in some cases help a person from small things. Not to mention they were very easy to carry in vials. Tsubasa pulled out one more object, this wasn't something ordinary though. It was a schematic for a plan, something huge that couldn't be called anything less than massive. The drawn image and schematics of it seemed to indicate an energy field that would allow everyone in the Seireitei to fight with more power than they previously had. This device would let them be much stronger and was a defensive master piece. It could be hidden and generator a giant field using kido and seamlessly combined the elements of both worlds.

Kido and science brought together, he laid that down as it was simply an idea. What else did Tsubasa have to show off, he wasn't the type, so he would stop there. Tsubasa had created some interesting things, he spent his time discovering medicine the pills designed from the previous 12th's injection to regrow one's limbs. Tsubasa thought the medicine compounds were simple enough. So he created it in pill form, it would basically heal any loss of limb that befell a person. His face remained calm, she did well to master that kido. Well she hadn't mastered it yet though a first attempt from Crystal was better than most people who learned the art of kido. Tsubasa wasn't a great kido user, but their was something he was extremely skilled in. Something that few others could say, Tsubasa could show her the true power that he held. "I'll show you something else, Kido is not my strongest point..my skill is good in it.." Tsubasa slowly stood up, pulling his Haori off and removing the top of his clothing.

This revealed his body to the female Captain, as a scientist she had to appreciate what she saw next. His body everything about it seemed to curve together perfectly, the muscles were at the perfect size. He'd exercised them to a point where they kept a free movement base for him to use. He walked over to the mountain, gripping his Zanpakutō. He brought both hands to the blade, giving the sword a single swing it sent out a massive destruction that went for miles. His muscles and body were trained to use a sword to such a deadly skill level. Tsubasa was no novice, perhaps this was what made him the most skilled of the Captains in this art. Using the blade was his specialty, he moved his hand back now as he sheathed the sword without a motion being wasted. He glanced back at her, she'd only seen a portion of what he was capable of nothing large. He walked over picking up his Haori and slipping back into it as he glanced at the female with his crimson eyes.

Sat Mar 01, 2014 11:40 pm

Looking on as she was handed the bottle, she sniffed it before drinking. It was not that she didn't trust him. In fact, had she been any other individual, he might have been justified in making that claim. However, given that she was the current head of the Research Development, Tsubasa would likely have a good idea of why she did what she did. Taking in the scent she had already started to analyze in her mind the potential ingredients and how she could either replicate it or do her best to potentially create a greater brew in the future that would help her and the Gotei 13 as a whole. With a smile, she would take a long sip of what was inside before gulping it all down. Inching her chest as she breathe in and then out, her spiritual power and energy would return to her almost as if she became lighter by the second. What he showed her next was even more intriguing and interesting though. With her eyes wandering all over the schematics it was almost as if a child was let loose on a toy store with a credit card without limit. She was truly enjoying it.

"Interesting..." she said as she looked on with excitement. "There's a large scale project on the works back at the lab, even though it is still on the testing process. Some of the research we gather can be used to further this and viceversa." The idea was great really. If the schematics and the experiments were successful, enhancing the power of the Gotei would give them a better chance to fight back the invading forces...and war, as the Captains knew, was eminent. There was also the question of protection. It was a given that a design with such utility would likely need to be guarded, or at the very least protected with very strong kido. Miss Kyoraku. Aiko Kyoraku, she thought to herself. Her mastery and power with kido was unmatched. If anyone could create a powerful and enduring enough kido to protect the design, she was likely the one to go to.

With a smile as he retrieved the schematic, she exhaled before digging her hand into her bag. Blinking a couple times, she withdrew an odd-looking blade, nearly two or three times bigger than her bag and which would not naturally fit in. Extending her arm to the back, she made sure to keep the blade as far from Tsubasa as possible, given the design of the blade. "This is one of my latest endeavors," she started, "It is a blade specially tailored to my reiatsu which is completely afraid of any form of energy composition, be it reishi, reiatsu or chi, that is unlike my own. Therefore, like a magnet of opposite polarities, it will divert and throw elsewhere any energy blasts not made by me and controlled by me." Carefully placing the blade into her bag, it was comical how it just fit inside. Obviously, the bag itself was also an experiment that allowed Crystal to store and retrieve anything she had placed inside regardless of size and weight without succumbing to the negatives of either. "I believe something similar can be made to aid the device you are trying to create. There could be special spiritual structures erected by the device tailored to either yours, mine, or your wife's energy since she is the best kido user I know. It would guarantee further protection. The same could be built throughout Seireitei but tailored to match the energy displayed by a shinigami and thus repel anything given out by anyone else, whether they be a vizard, demon, arrancar or something else."

Pushing a couple of strands of her back, she smiled as their break and temporary talk of inventions came to an end. Truly, it seems the saying was right. Time did indeed flied when one has fun. Watching him remove his top, she would raise one of her eyebrows as a small silly smile would appear on her face. Well then, she thought to herself, in part out of shock but also quite satisfied with the view. Though she felt she should reciprocate, she was not going to go topless. No way. Smiling to herself she let go of the silly thoughts invading her head. Instead, she focused on his movements as she saw him draw his sword and unleash quite the devastating slash.

Bobbing her head in agreement, she withdrew her Zanpakutō, which truly was more of a knife. Simply exhaling, the small little knife transformed into a large blade though quite unorthodox looking almost as if there were bolts along the body. This was the sealed form of her shikai. It was the form of her Zanpakutō which she most often used. It was used against her opponents to test their strengths and nearly any time she battled. Though it did not possessed any special abilities, it was just like fighting with a regular sealed Zanpakutō, save for the slight increase in toughness and cutting power that came from the relatively close form to the real shikai. Gripping her hand strongly in one hand, she knew she could easily swing down the blade and produce a large blast of energy, but that's not what she wanted nor what she aimed for. She was no longer trying to impress him. She only wanted to learn and get stronger, and for him to teach her. Instead, she wanted to create a powerful force by the mere physical swing rather than by the powerful blast she could create by flowing her energy through it. Gripping it, she swung as the ground shook beneath them as dust raised and a powerful wind tunnel was created with the swing, slamming down hard against a large rocky area, destroying most of it. Looking back at Tsubasa, she did not break her stance, hand still gripping the Zanpakutō in the same direction. The look was clear. She did not want to jump from subject to subject. She wanted him to analyze her movements and teach her in one or more areas until she had clearly improved. He was a good teacher and she was a good learner, they merely needed to step on it.

[THEFROST] · Sun Mar 02, 2014 6:33 am

Tsubasa seemed to have much on his mind, things that made him different from others. She had promise, but somethings in the realm of Zanjutsu required work. Aiko knew him for what he was, even her father called him unrivaled in the subject. He walked forward and carefully touched her wrist as he saw the tightness of the grip he spoke calmly to her. "Don't force it, think of your sword as a soft cloud within your grasp. Be both soft and firm, allowing her body to be smooth and poetry in motion. Focus on your breathing and become one with the surroundings, allowing your stance to reflex it." Tsubasa softly used his hand to corrected her stance, moving her leg back with his sword no matter how embarrassing it would be for some. His hands moved her body into a better less rigid position to allow her to be comfortable when fighting. His eyes looked over the female's frame, her weapon was smaller so her method of fighting should reflect it. His hands rubbed at his chin for a moment, he sent off a hell butterfly.

Tsubasa had decided she wished to learn so perhaps it was best she was taught Zanjutsu like the others. Her skills were still in need of growth their as well, the main points of focus for her would have to be Kido but. He could teach her his philosophy and pass on knowledge. His training methods were strange, as soon members of his clan arrived bringing the required objects. These were tools used for teaching the Captain Zeda who had taken on the murderous form of him. "I am going to let you in on something Crystal..I told Zeda this as well..Many people see me as a murderer, where I grew up at people butchered one another every single day..Surviving and keeping my family safe was all I did..Now it's time for me to keep this family safe." He said calmly looking at her Tsubasa had accepted the role and decided each who came and wished to improve he would teach them as much as possible. But it wasn't just teaching them, it was learning for them in ways of strangeness that hardly existed.

Dummies were brought in, liquid like almost these were special and the first stage of training her in swordplay. Many would wonder why Tsubasa would teach Crystal the details of Swordplay. Because she was young yet and could afford to learn as many tricks as possible. He wasn't changing the subject, this training was dangerous. It taught one to stay alive as much as possible. The dummies were specially designed, with the Unabara Clan symbol on them. From the line he'd created they brought water in of a special nature as well. Soon they were preparing tree's ten of them at the very least. Tsubasa was setting up boot camp for Crystal, this would allow her growth in ways others didn't understand. A purple area was formed of intense kido, it was high level stuff the gravity room was seven thousand times that of earth. The other element that was ready for use were the ten tree's of cherry blossoms. Tsubasa took a small piece of cloth from his sleeve and tossed it into the petals.

As soon as one touched it, the cloth had been shredded in under ten seconds. Tsubasa stood by the dummies it was time for training the method was perhaps harder than anyone would ever understand. "Cut it right otherwise it will be unpleasant for you." Tsubasa was mysterious on the clue, a person had to solve the mystery of life and death on their own. Come to a conclusion only they could reach, it wasn't just what he could come up with. Life was a journey, he would let her discover the journey on her own. Taking these trials of the blade he designed, only two people before her so far had accomplished them. Hiroshi Saito who had faced near death handling what Tsubasa had done. But his training was the light kind, Zeda had faced this training style and survived the harsh nature of it and found his peace. Crystal would find her own path through the hellish world set up by Tsubasa's training. He left her the clue she needed, cut it right implying other cuts of a negative nature would result in a poor ending for her.

She was better than average in her swordplay, average swordsman normally died before Tsubasa. Even Aiko's father claimed that among the greatest his name fell into the list. Tsubasa had found something few others had, he kept intense power but had not bothered in decreasing the grace and fluid nature of his swordplay. Some claimed it came from years of murder, practicing the art of killing. Survival drives a person to do things they never thought possible. Aiko would be one he trained soon, he knew it within his mind. His wife was open to him, he knew where she could improve indeed. Would he fight his wife to observe her, perhaps but Tsubasa had known her well enough to know where her hole was at. Aiko lacked only in one department she was trained well and very educated. He smiled slightly thinking about his wife, one of the rare things. But Aiko required experience that was all to be great, she didn't have the experience of fighting like Tsubasa did.

His eyes observed Crystal carefully, pondering how many more would he put through this. The hardest training ever forged for a person, Tsubasa intended surely to teach them all perhaps. Except for Nis he knew that this training wouldn't help his friend. Nis didn't bother with zanjutsu he was a Hakuda specialist. It was where his friend could shine, each Captain had strengths and weaknesses that made them. His job so far had been going well, Crystal understood two of hers now. She lacked a means to fight melee and her long range could be made stronger with kido. Tsubasa would show her after she understood the first test. Zeda figured it out by observing the clouds as he spoke once more. Her final clue as he did know that most needed one more just to understand it. "Be strong yet graceful." Tsubasa gave her the last bit of advice, he was teaching her how to swing a sword. Perhaps anyone who understood it best would be Zeda and Hiroshi.

Simply killing hollows or enemies didn't make you a great swordsman. Understanding your journey, knowing results of hard training made you great. Knowing the true nature of swinging a sword would aid her greatly.
