Kaizo listened to Ritsuna, he could see or more hear she was trying to comfort him and make him feel better and it kinda did, enough to motivate him to actually train. Kaizo took a deep breath then got to his feet then looked down at Ritsuna "Thank you. I guess all I needed was a little reassurance...or maybe because it came from you it meant more." Kaizo smiled a little at Ritsuna before speaking again "You best get back to Master Juki...you know what he is like if he starts trying to cook..." Kaizo then briefly remembered the time Juki burnt down the kitchen trying to make himself a sandwich, the thought made Kaizo chuckle a little...the man was a genius but hand him the task of trying to make something to eat and the whole world falls apart

Ritsuna

As Kaizo stood, Ritsuna followed suit, smiling at Kaizo as he spoke. "No problem Kaizo, I'm always here to talk" She listened to Kaizo once more, suddenly placing a hand over her mouth as she remembered a particular time she knew Kaizo was talking about. "Oh my, you are right! Good luck with your training, I'll come back a little later with some food-" Ritsuna's eyes widened slightly as she remembered what Juki had said earlier before they slid to the floor. "Oh yeah... Master Juki did say no food for you tonight... Well, tomorrow morning I'll make you a big breakfast! To compensate for today's lack of nutrition. You need to make sure you eat and drink up to keep strong and healthy!" She smiled cheerfully, tilting her head to the left a little. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to Master, I mustn't leave Master alone to his own devices for too long hehehe~" Ritsuna giggled before turning on her heel, making her way back to the dining room with a happy stride.

Shou dodged the first attack, a good start. Within Rio's mind, she began noting down key things that she had observed. A Hado was aimed her way and due to her calm state, she managed to make a move, simply turning her body to the side, narrowly missing the blast yet it did catch onto a piece of her clothing. Extending her left index and middle finger with her arm raised, the same Hado Byakurai was shot back at Shou before he had expelled all of the Hado he had preformed so the Hado she shot back would interrupt his attack. It was of a low strength, only enough to give Shou a small bruise if hit.

Shou watched his attack barely miss Rio, this made his eyes narrow slightly however they then soon widened as he noticed a Hado 4 coming right back at him, he barely had time to dodge which was shown by him jumping out of the way and getting a cut from the hado on the top of his right shoulder, He then rolled and during this roll he charged up a Hado 31 and fired it at Rio before getting to his feet and shunpoing high into the air in one swift movement, Shou then held his Zanpakuto horizontally and placed his left palm over the end of the blade as the Zanpakuto began to glow yellow as it then fired off a wide arc of yellow energy down towards Rio, aiming to hit her if she were to only slightly dodge the first attack

'Ability to preform surprise attacks, more quick thinking.' Rio moved both of her arms in front of her face in a crossed motion, blocking herself as she allowed the Hado to hit her. 'Well preformed technique with decent power behind it, another check.' Her arms smoked as she watched Shou quickly get onto his feet and shunpo into the air, following his spiritual energy to find him preforming yet another Hado. 'Hmmm... Shunpo'ing herself above the area Shou aimed at, Rio jumped higher, her right hand lifting her Katana high in the air while her left was off to the side. As she moved closer to Shou, Rio bought her blade down, aiming to clash with his sword. Her face still holding the same expression, utter calmness.

Shou watched as Rio took the Hado 31 straight on, it seemed she was testing his capabilities more so than fighting him seriously, if that was the case, then Shou would show her everything he was capable of. Seeing Rio dodge his second Hado and appear just above him was a surprise but something he half anticipated, Shou's mind by now began working and the only thing holding him back was his lack of skill. Shou raised his Zanpakuto and clashed with Rio's, he then used his free left hand to form a tumble weed which he threw at Rio's face, then Shou pulled his Zanpakuto back away from Rio's and aimed to stab through the tumble weed and cut Rio's right shoulder or even pierce it. As a 3rd seat she could take more punishment than him meaning he didn't have to hold back on her however in the case she decided to use her free hand or even her Zanpakuto for an attack, he prepared his mind and free hand for whatever may come next...

Rio and Shou clashed blades. During this, Rio looked down at Shou to find a tumble-weed coming straight for her face. Using her left hand, Rio slammed the palm of it into the left side of the tumble-weed but soon grabbed her right Zanpakuto quickly with both hands as she didn't expect Shou to stab through the weed. 'Utilising the resources and skills he currently possess, seemingly mastering that simple skill within a short space of time and using it in more than one way... Impressive' Her blade clashed with the bottom of Shou's sword, the tip of his Zanpakuto pieced her right shoulder, but not by alot, enough to make it bleed a little. As Rio was testing Shou's skills, she didn't mind taking on a little damage to see how much power he was willing to use. Eventually he'd give up trying to be soft on Rio and understand that she'd be able to take everything he could possibly throw at her. If, however, he was going all out at the moment... Well... "Managed to cut me" She smirked before pushing her right shoulder back a little and quickly ducking, moving closer to Shou while swinging her right blade, aiming at his left side... before she suddenly stopped, holding the cutting edge of her Zanpakuto against Shou's clothed body without any pressure as she didn't want to cut him. She stayed there, waiting to see how Shou would respond to this.

Shou watched as his Zanpakuto pierced her shoulder however it was shallow, Shou then felt his Zanpakuto loosen up, this meant Rio clearly must have pulled his Zanpakuto out of the wound, Shou pulled his Zanpakuto back then noticed Rio's Zanpakuto coming to his left side, Shou quickly moved his left hand down to his side as a small blue orb formed on the back of it "Bakudo #8, Seki" by simply saying the name the Bakudo became stronger than if he hadn't, this meant that when Rio struck the Bakudo it would throw her Zanpakuto back violently and possibly even throw her back, off balance also. Shou could see Rio was a bit slower with her movements, if she wanted to cut him in two she very well could have...this meant she was trying to fight on his level...

Chie exited her room with her zanpakuto in her left hand when she saw Fumio and Souta, she walked over to them and gave Fumio a smile as she grabbed his his. "hey lets go for a walk.It will be fun, I promise." Chie said before looking at Souta and sticking her tongue out at him. "You however can go away, ya freakin perv, you follow and I will burn you this time I swear I will." Chie said glaring at him, before smiling at Fumio again and started to walk pulling him with.

With another smirk, Rio flew back a little but flipped in the air to stop herself, landing and standing straight with her Zanpakuto pointed downwards while still in the air. "Nice one. Now your move." She ordered, preparing herself both physically and mentally. Now was her time to see how he is on the more offensive side of battles, how he would prefer to fight. Close ranged or long ranged? Rio felt that she already had an answer in mind, but she kept her mind free from expectations. She believed Shou had the potential to go far and maybe even master all areas of fighting so she wasn't going to add expected limitations to his power, that would be a foolish thing to do... This was the first time that Rio ever had a student instead of being the student... She was going to invest as much time into Shou's improvement as she could but would make sure she had time to train herself for the inevitable event that will occur in the future....

Giovanni could only laugh "it would be no fun without a little competition. we all have our goals, but we also have our responsibilities, Responsibilities come first" He pointed out. they say rivals are good things to have, especially a friend. supposedly they bring out the best in you. "Koyo is probably somewhere working super hard at something, at least i hope she is. I'd hate for her to miss out on this opportunity but if we don't find her I'll have to find someone outside our little circle" Clearly he wanted Koyo but if she wasnt located before it was too late He would have to find somebody else. chances were it wouldnt come to that, but at the same time he had his responsibilities to tend to as well, paper work can be quite inconvenient. "oh, And did you fill out the profile survey I handed out the other day?"

Gustavo sat down, and gave a nervous laugh, "Ya about the survey, I didn't really get around to it with all the paperwork I had to do." He then scratched the back of his head, and continued, "I will try to get around to it latter, but for now I think we should maybe just sit around, and wait for Koyo to come by, and if she doesn't come in a few hours, then I guess we will have to look for someone to take her place sadly." He then let out a deep sigh, That survey was so boring I don't know if I could finish it tonight.

Angelo finished his cup of sake before looking up at the elegant beauty that decided to grace him with her presence or whatever she thought she was doing as he sighed softly "no I've always been this way. its not about being dumped it is about me visiting my parents grave, and just- remembering something" Angelo said softly trying to steady his nerves but the keen eye could tell his hand was shaking at the memory since he didn't know this woman he wasn't about to give off his whole life story to her he doubt she was even interested in his life story to begin with as he held his sake glass and poured in another wondering who this woman was and why she even decided to talk to him. Angelo didn't exactly give off a friendly vibe to begin with so something must have attracted this woman to him for some odd reason. he didn't notice her till she started to speak to him which made him wonder how she was able to do that, although he wasn't exactly a high ranking official in squad two it takes some form of training to sneak up on an assassin to begin with so this woman must have practiced sneaking up to people which Angelo found strange as he watched and waited to see if she would try something

"Oh...well that sucks but I'm sure you'll get over it. Can't say how long it'll take since you seem pretty close with them. Or maybe you weren't at all but the fact that someone you knew died is why you feel the way you're feeling. No matter the case, a dead relative is almost always a sentimental topic." The paused before blushing. "So sorry, an introduction should always come first when meeting new people. My name is Feyora, and it's a pleasure to meet you fine sir." She said, taking a quick bow afterwards. Her eyes looked at the man In wonder as he refilled his glass. "So like what happened to them? It must've been a bad sight if you drink this much after visiting their grave."

~In the underground training area far away from the Seireitei~

Kaizo stood hunched over, his hands on his knees as he panted, sweat dripping from his body as he slowly raised his right hand to his face as black spiritual energy formed in his palm then he tore his hand away from his face as the black energy manifested into a hollow mask "I have to hold this longer!" Kaizo straightened up then took a step forward however stumbled a little as he did "Don't you dare give out on me! Fight you worthless body!! FIGHT!!" Kaizo's Spirit energy then erupted out from his body, his energy taking on a black colouring with a yellow outline now. Kaizo then cocked his right arm back and clenched his right hand into a fist as yellow energy charged around his fist, he then punched forward releasing a Bala that flew into a boulder exploding violently. Kaizo then began panting as the hollow mask crumbled off causing him to drop to his hands and knees as the sweat dripped off his body and onto the floor "Why can't I hold it longer?!..Useless body!" Kaizo then slammed his right fist into the ground and closed his eyes before collapsing to the ground, completely out of energy

~Squad 12~

Ryuu had been spending his time monitoring what the other Squad 12 Shinigami were doing, making sure everything was running smoothly whilst Zero worked on something. Zero had been shut away for a week straight and so Ryuu finally decided to check up on him to be sure, Ryuu made his way to his Captains office then knocked on the door, Zero's voice was then heard "Enter..." Ryuu opened the door slowly and once he did his eyes widened as he unsheathed his Zanpakuto immediately "Where's Captain Zero?!" Zero shook his head then sighed before speaking "Right infront of you. I finally managed to construct a suitable appearance...it's an odd thing being able to express emotions now without having to say them, I can simply use my face or my voice for such things...even the eyes can tell a lot..." Ryuu slowly sheathed his Zanpakuto, he was unsure what to make of this...Zero having a face was...odd...but the way he made it sound it was as if he never had a face before thus could never express any form of emotion. "That's better...now how are the rest of the Squad doing?" Ryuu looked at Zero with cold dead eyes as he then spoke "They're fine sir..." Zero nodded then rubbed his chin with his right hand "Good...make sure it stays that way, I'm going to go for a walk...see the outside world through my eyes and not through the mask." Ryuu after that turned and walked off, Zero then grabbed his hat on the desk next to him and placed it on his head then stood from his seat and made his way out of his office, sealing it with various Kido before exiting the Squad, the first step into the sunlight was incredible...he could feel the heat on his skin, he then took in a deep breath of air...it felt as if he was truly alive now. Instantly however Zero's eyes narrowed, his eyes now impossible to see. The Sunlight on his eyes wasn't as pleasant as he first thought but he was used to a lack of view due to his mask...now however...he felt he could finally live as he set off for a walk around the Seireitei

Lucy had finally made it to the Shino Academy, making her way around the academy without being detected. She reached the room with blank zanpakutos and grabbed on. Suddenly, a loud voice spoke from behind "What do you think you're doing in here? This place is off limits to students?" He said, ending his sentence with a question once he saw her horns. Before he could make a noise, she shunpoed behind him and delivered a swift chop to his neck "Sorry, I just needed on of these" She shunpoed out of the room and academy, heading back to Squad 4 barracks. She hurried since she felt bad for leaving Houzmi behind

Aya tapped at a pebble with her foot as she was walking the pathway towards her squad, when suddenly she picked up a scent of Hozumi, which instead of simply tapping the pebble she kicked it instead which sent it flying hard enough to him someone in the head and knock them out. She had a wide grin on her face as she took off after the smell, catching up to it quite fast, so when she was close she lunged and hugged the figure. "Hozumi!! My little adorable boy, I missed you soooo mu-." Aya stopped her self when she noticed the figures chest was much to soft to be Hozumi's, so when Aya looked at the girl, Aya's grip then tightened as her happy look changed to anger. "Why.... do you have my sons scent on you?" Aya asked only tightening her grip as the time went on.

"Why.... do you have my sons scent on you?" Aya asked only tightening her grip as the time went on.

Lucy was leaping from roof to roof, daydreaming and thinking up of plans on how to train Hozumi. Suddenly two arms wrapped around her from behind and groped her breasts "You pervert!" She turned her head to see who it was, her facial expression changing once she saw who it was. She sighed "The one person I didn't want to deal with, probably wasn't the best time to be daydreaming. Kurouo" Suddenly, a thick black liquid came out and covered her body. The liquid was slippery and she was able to bend her body now to inhuman positions. Lucy ducked out of the grip and shunpoed forward, turning to face Aya as the liquid began to evaporate away "Well thats simple, cause I took him to train him. Don't worry though, I should have him back in a couple of years. Listen, I don't want to fight you but this is for his own good."

Aya's grip only furthered tightened until she slicked out of it, and moved away from Aya and told her the reason, yet Aya wasn't having any of it. "So you take my son without permission, and expect me to just be fine with it?" Aya said pulling out her sword with her teeth now becoming sharper and her skin turning gray. "Ain't that simple bitch! I'm his mother! I think I know whats good for him! Unlike some horned little girl who is about to be squashed like a bug." Aya said charging head on towards the girl, and when she was within range she shunpoed behind Lucy and pointed a finger at her. "Bakudo number 4 Horin." A wire then shot out from her fingers, hoping to wrap around Lucy, in which Aya would then take to the forest, so she wouldn't risk hurting anyone.

Lucy shrugged "Hey, I got permission from one of the parents so thats good enough for me" As Aya went for her blade, so did Lucy only to find nothing again. She had already forgotten about it. She then raised an eyebrow at Aya's transformation, listening to Aya insult her. She smirked "So you have demon blood coursing through your veins? This should make things fun" She said with a grin as Aya shunpoed behind her. Lucy released a burst of crimson reiatsu and sending the wire back away from her. She aimed an open palm towards Aya's stomach "Hado 10 Chikara" She fired off a powerful force, or enhance Sho, from her palms towards Aya. The force would of sent her upwards and away from the current sight
.

"Oh really? Cause I don't think crying is permission!" Aya said as her Horin was bounced backwards from the girls Reiatsu, which made Aya shrug. "Well poor people below then." Aya muttered then hearing a hado she never heard before which hit her yet only pushed her back a little bit, which made Aya tilt her head. "Cut the weak shit, if I'm going to be serious, you best bump up that number a bit." Aya said a she again lunged at the girl this time however she started to spin at her like a torpedo and from the tip of her blade started to form this liquid metal substance which instead of forming infront of the blade trailed downwards to the hilt and then covering up Aya, making this seem like an actual metal torpedo hurdling towards Lucy.

"Enforcers huh? Never heard of them but it sounds pretty fishy. Still that's rough getting caught up with your parent's issues. I'd rather find out after returning then to watch as they're slaughtered. Come to think of it...so do you know what became of your sister?" Feyora asked curiously as the man poured her a cup of sake. "Thanks but I have something important to do later so I can't drink at the moment. And I'm sure you put in something extra so no thanks. Well that's what I heard some try to do anyways."
