"thats not what i was saying. at least not about the elements. light isnt solid either and thats apparently what we use for spirit magic" Sage made a mental note that theelements could use other elements but didnt say anything about it. "the physical object making it easier....was half my point. the other half was me wanting to know how to use the physical object."

You've got to be kidding Kaji thought to himself as a small child defused the situation. This was absolutely pathetic. He rested his bloody blade on his shoulder, not wanting to sheath it just yet. As the band of bandits came to realize just how wrong they had been in coming to this village fate intervened. Regardless Kaji was far from empathetic, he was sickened by the sorry display. kudos to the kid for bravery and all but Kaji preferred to exist in reality. its a kill or be killed world, esspecially these days. those who threaten the safety of anyone weaker than them are trash and should be disposed of. Kaji had no issue playing that role, but it seems other people did. it was a good thing he never signed up to be one of their heros. At this rate as soon as the bandits left, assuming they left the way they came, they would be easy prey for the demons not to far from the village. The ones that were still waiting for him to come back with orders.

Giovanni laid on a rooftop somewhere in the seireitei. His feet were extremely sore from all his walking. Sandals and Rough Roads did not go well together despite what anyone said. He gazed at the sky, trying his best not to drift off into a snooze. He knew he should be going to the head captains office to tell him about the 24 names that he found and enrolled. He should also be getting ready for that test he was supposed to be taking to gain rank. He should ALSO be exploring what Sorareo was talking about last time he trained. turns out there was quite a few things he should be doing but at the moment he just wanted to be off his feet. Taking the weight off his feet felt so good that everything else could wait. He looked at his tattered shihakusho, it was ripped and dirty but he wasn't exactly sure where to get another one from. Squads provided them after you got your first one at graduation. He probably should look into getting a knew one. Maybe after his feet felt better, or after his report/test. regardless nothing was happening right now.

Gio and The newly formed party set out moments later in the direction of the Shino academy. Thankfully the hardest part, for the most part was over. Gaining the first Soul. Now that he had several he could make a credible claim as to what he was as he traveled. Most districts were untrusting but someone always wanted better for them selves if not for others so slowly the group grew. There were a couple hollow attackes but since Gio had Cleared the area with Shusuke not too long ago they were few and far between. They had a few run ins with other bandits but no only Gio ever got hurt. And it was usually minor. By the time they made it too the Shino academy Giovanni had recruited 19 more souls. All ranging in age, gender and lifestyles.

He had made them all aware of the general expectations but since most of them left their homes prepared to do what ever it takes to get a better life, no one really had qualms with the change of pace. It wouldn’t be easy but life never was. But now that that life had a purpose it would be easier to overcome. Apparently Giovanni is an amazing motivational speaker.

Once at the academy he personally saw to the registration of 24 souls. Considering the number of souls out there it might not seem like a high number but to Giovanni it was an amazing number and the start, hopefully, of something new. After all this was just the first run. There was 3 other directions after all. And of course someone should go back north, into the 70s districts. But for now…. He jut needed a moment to sit.

Giovanni looked at A young girl and a couple other teenage looking souls stood among the crowd with a fierce look of determination on her face. In front of them was an aged woman. Two things immediately stuck out to Giovanni. First, and most importantly, the woman had very strong spiritual pressure, and secondly one of the kids was the high speed individual from a few districts back.

“please forgive them, but I hear your recruiting for the Shino academy, why?” the woman spoke but the suspicion in her voice wasn’t hidden at all.

“honestly I’m not doing it for the academy per se” Gio answered truthfully. “it a shinigami’s primary responsibility to maintain the balance. But we ourselves are out of balance. Are numbers are low and yet they refuse to come out this in search of capable people. They expect you to go to them. im just not that stupid” he shrugged in the end.

“whats your plan then?”

“well…. If they are allowed to come I’ll head back toward the seireitei, attemping to ‘recruit’ as you put it until about distict 20 or 30.”

“and what about the safety of the ones you take? How will you be responsible for that?” valid questions from a clearly wise and concerned woman

“well considering the death glare im getting from the pretty one behind you I think she’s going to volunteer” Gio pointed out.

Clearly the girl wasn’t expecting that since her face went beat red but the woman paid her no mind. “very well.if they want they may go. But if I find one came to harm under your care”

“yea yea nightmares brought to darkest light will seem like rainbows and kittens.” Giovanni cut her off.

Kaji's expression darkened with a sinister smile. His dark hair hiding his eyes so that only his grin remained visible. He didn't falter nor take a step back. instead he took one forward, drawing his blade with one hand as the bandits rushed him. with is other hand he threw one more shuriken that was hidden in his clothes before gripping the blade with two hands. It flew low, catching one bandit in the leg causing him to fall and another to trip over him. Kaji had hope that someone would fall on a blade but it was hardly necessary.

Kaji fighting style was about misdirection. as most shinobi were. However unlike most shinobi he had an ability. one that could go unseen when fighting against groups. he wouldnt strike first. well...technically he already did but thats besides the point. As the closed in on him he went on the defensive/evasive. at the very least the bandits were slightly skilled but not enough to pose an issue to him one on one. so he would evade theirs strikes, parry a few that he wouldnt be able to dodge. he was increasingly difficult to hit. but not because he moved with anytime of godspeed. instead he would move his connect his shadow to theirs and paralyze them for an instant giving him time to react. in a mob like this it would be a while before anyone realized the secret of his defense. so when he finally swung his blade, it was across the leg of one of the naginata wielding bandits. bringing him down to his knees. Kaji flipped/rolled over the fallen band and stabbed him through his back in the heart. He flipped his grip to pull the sword out and broke into a dash, out of the crowd of bandits. one struck him in the shoulder but he was only really after one person. the man in purple. his dash had given him a head start so he was several feet in front of the rest of the bandits and closing in on the purple man very very fast. He held his blade in a reverse grip infront of his face as he made his way towards the man.

"not really. just kind proves you excell in kicking people when they are down" Kaji began walking towards the giant woman. Gender didnt really matter to him. nor did the other man getting knocked out. instead he reached behind his back and withdrew a small shuriken. he whipped his arm around, throwing the deadly weapon in a precairous tilted arch. i wizzed past the giants ear, cutting her hair but found it resting place between the eyes of one of the bandits that was holding a fire arm. "oops i missed. " but not really though

It wasn’t until he was in the 64th north district that he sensed the speedster again. while he had suspected there were others nearby with the levels he was seeking he was currently surrounded by his third group of bandits. He had shunpo’d away from the last two groups but since one of these thugs had a spiritual pressure worth noting he figured he would stay and entertain them. out of the five that approached him the one with the reiatsu wasn’t the leader, but they looked a like. So Giovanni took a shot in the dark.

important but long conversation

“is he your brother?” he pointed at the spiritual one but kept his eyes on the leader”

“yeah, he is, what ove it.” his far too deep voice growled in response.

“what if I told you I could give him something that would make his life better?”

“what about the rest of us”

“well that… is up to him”

“I make the decisions here”

“that must be hard on you when he is the only one that gets hungry”

“how do you know that?”

“Hunger is a sign of spiritual pressure. He is the only one among you that has anything significant.”

“That sword of yours will be pretty significant when we kill you for it”

“You wont though.”

“How do you figure?”

“Because I’m offering you something better.” Gio shifted his gaze to the younger brother “come with me, become a soul reaper and make enough money to take all four of
them out of this lifestyle.”

“like hell he’s going with you” the leader yelled “but how much money you talking”

“six years of free training food and shelter for him. Then he graduates and joins a squad. That means he gets a commission. Given the state of the soul society… id say each allotment would be able to keep you quite comfortable for months at a time out here” Giovanni persuaded.

“so what will it be. Attempting to take my sword and forfeit your meal ticket…or allow him to come with me and wait on him to come back stronger and well..with more money thatn you make robbing folk.”

“I’ll go with you” the younger brother finally spoke up. “on one condition”

“what is that?” Gio cocked his head to the side curiously.

“Convince me”

Gio shrugged and unleashed his spiritual pressure, while it wast much compared to higher seated officers to them it seemed like a heavy weight on their shoulder, driving three of them to the ground. Gio let up and the man nodded

“my name is Caleb.”

“Hello Caleb, you made the right decision for your whole family”

The older brother didn’t look to happy, but he accepted it. especially since a small crowed had gathered “can we come too?” a voice shouted from the crowd, causing Gio to glance in that direction.

Kaji stepped forward to meet the Giant. "just like bandits to piss their pants when someone actually stands up to them." Kaji made no indication of reaching for his blade yet. or any other weapon he had on his person. when the time came he would draw his sword but until then he would simply demoralize all of them verbally. "It seems we get the pleasure of taking the wolfs other eyes everybody. though..... i must apologize to this village, this display of our talents as your protectors is quite watered down. you hired men to fight demons and we are not presented with men. Though you might think it beneath us... well i think its beneath us anyway, though you think its beneath us watch closely at what your hospitality as awarded you in the form of your protectors" Kaji spoke theatrically but never once took his eyes off the Giant and his kanabo.

War of Magics

"yea it makes sense but its not really helpful information. I dont honestly give much thought to elements other than Spirit. I know if bonded to a spirit that has an associated weapon one can use their magic to create said weapon. however it takes a lot of energy. if the person is already holding a weapon then the spiritual weapon envelops the physical weapon, lessing the cost of magic. If the person happens to be using the same type of weapon, like chaneling a samurai and holding a katana the energy toll is lessened even more. and the magic still envelopes the weapon but doesnt change its shape like it would the example before. now if I were to channel a specific spirit what had a specific weapon, and was holding the specific weapon there would be a very minimal toll on my magic as there is no need to create the weapon since i'm holding it. it will be magically converted to its prime form.

Now thats all well and good. and I understand that completely however if i dont know how to use the weapon personally it hinders the effectiveness of the possession. im not trying to make a sword out of fire anything like that. but if I held up a sword coated in spirit magic to a flame sword im pretty sure the logic of the non magical world wouldnt be relivent and the outcome would be determined by whoevers will was strongest.
