[quote=Axel] "No it actually conceals my true power and prevents me from releasing it to the extreme. Besides, even if cutting of my hair would've granted me additional power, I wouldn't do it just because I feared for my life. In all honesty, I would be eternally grateful to the one that manages to kill me but that won't ever happen unfortunately." Tamasar slowly formed a small smile on his face once the girl had made her move. He raised his dagger like weapon to his side in order to defend the coming attack, clashing with the large Sword easily before the dagger started to glow bright white. It tripled in length, resembling that of a normal Katana, while Aya's spiritual pressure seemingly decreased as if it was being drained in response. "Despite having such a pretty powerful weapon, you're not that bright when it comes to understanding your opponent. Are you not or was this your plan all along to fall blindlessly into despair? Either way, that first swing you did concluded, what one would say a fight that occurred ages ago, get it?" The man lightly chuckled at his own joke, pushing off of the girl's Shikai before shunpoing behind her. Usually others would attack after appearing from behind but instead of doing that, he tossed his newly made Katana like weapon into the air. Once reaching a certain distance in the air, the weapon began to float motionless in the sky along with the hundred of thousand bamboo sticks. [/quote] As he stopped her attack she felt her power going down a bit as his weapons shined white again and then grew in length to that of a katana. He then threw a little taunt at her which made her shrug and grin in response. "I will admit I'm not the smartest girl around, but you see I'm not one to give up. Besides..." She then got ready for her next strike. "You are starting to get interesting, a weapon that can take away my spiritual energy, I have been known to have too much of it. Anyway get ready!" She was then about to strike when he tossed his weapon into the air instead of attacking her. She stared up at the blade and the bamboo. "Oh, is this some sort of trick. I have too say I am interested." Aya then continued looking up at the blade as she swung her shikai at the man behind her.
