THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Breakfast continued uninterrupted, although there was a new mood covering their table, no surprise considering the news and the fact that they were still under siege, even if it didn't feel like it. Once everyone finished he bid goodbye to them and started his journey to where he was summoned... with a slight deviation.

The Temple was somewhat full, considering how religious people in this world were that wasn't a big surprise, what was surprising was that Areleth was the one doing the morning sermon, usually such things were delegated to lower-ranked priests unless it was a very special occasion so seeing him high in the podium wasn't nothing if not surprising. He listened to it for a couple minutes before deciding to go for another route, originally he would have made contact directly but it was obvious that this session was not going to end soon, not with the fervor in his voice.

Instead, he had to search for something to write on, eventually obtaining an empty paper from one of the altar boys.

He didn't write everything, and while he was confident it would reach Areleth human curiosity was a big concern. So he just described the situation in general terms, that one of his and Kass' party members had accidentally caught the attention of a denizen of the abyss and that he needed some help and certain resources to get prevent things from escalating. Listed were the materials he needed as well as a promise to cover the costs for them and the help.

Message delivered he tipped the altar boy some coin for his trouble and then made his way to the official that would escort him to the Academy, thankful that they had allowed the side trip in the first place.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

The Academy was... imposing.

That was the first thought that crossed his mind the moment he came across it, he recalled the others talking about it but he had always been focused on other things. Now he regretted not having given more attention to those scraps of knowledge.

The official guided him past the big frontal doors and then through a number of hallways until he entered a room that was almost sci-fi like. People were dressed in lab coats and were buzzing from side to side, with the person he recognized as Clarissa, Shields standing in front of one of the bulkier machines monitoring something.

Introductions were quick and curt, the woman not bothering with any fancy speech.

“I’ve asked for you on the recommendation from trusted sources that you are uniquely intelligent and gifted.” She gestured to the cube that was being held in magical stasis amidst different kinds of machinery and computers. “This is technology beyond Mytheria. And you being from beyond Mytheria, puts you in a unique position to help us by providing an intellectual perspective that none of us have.”

Clarissa

...How the fuck was he supposed to respond to that?

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

Yuto scratched his head as he thought about the Captain's words, something to fight for? wasn't he already doing that? He wanted to not be pushed around so he fought, he wanted to not go hungry so he fought, he wanted to fight so he fought. But something inside was telling him that the Captain wasn't referring to those things. So as the smart person he was, he decided to confront the part inside himself that was saying such things.

Closing his eyes he could see a burning district. In the midst of the flames sat a tall man, horns adorning his head, a mask concealing his face from the outside world.

"Hey bastard! What did he mean by 'Something to fight for'?"

The man didn't answer like he never did, even when he first went through the trials to get his Shikai the man had never uttered a word, just tossing him his Zanpakuto and assuming a stance.

To be fair that had been enough.

He kept watching the man for a few seconds but at his silence he let out a 'tsk' before turning away, what a waste.

The sound of cloth moving brought his attention back immediately, there standing at his full height was the tall man, sword still sheathed but ready to be drawn at any point. Then the flames around them grew in intensity, hotter and brighter to the point he could feel his skin almost melting, his heart racing, and a blush rush to his face. Memories rushed back, of previous fights, of hunger, of desperate moments where his life had been on the line. Then the academy flashed through his mind.

Abruptly the flames died, and the cold seeped into him, clutching his ribcage and freezing him instantly. Unpleasant, unsettling, unnatural.

He didn't like it. Bring it back, the heat, bring it back, bring it back!

Just as he was about to... to do... to do something the flames returned, lacking the previous intensity but still there, providing lukewarm heat.

The man was seated once more but with a hand extended in his direction, it wasn't an invitation but a presentation, like saying 'There you have it'. And he did, weirdly enough.

He scowled and opened his eyes to the real world, barely a second had passed and Kenpachi still answering questions. He got it now, the difference between fighting and fighting for a reason.

He just... he just didn't know his reason. The anger that was slowly rising fled his body, damnit, this is why he disliked that thinking shit, it only helped create problems he didn't have before. He remained where he was, Nakajima was asking something but he wasn't listening, instead his gaze was focused on his own hands.

What could he fight for?

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I will try to update today or tomorrow, I am having troubles with my net

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

He munched on some meat as he listened to the Big Boss speech, a stick with different food between each finger, he was saying something about growing stronger which he appreciated. But when it reached the part about socializing he lost interest, how did one even get to know others? So far most of the people he knew he had met after he kicked their asses or they kicked his, but he had been told this area was not for that so he was confused.

That wasn't even the biggest problem, earlier when he had been tasting every stall he had overheard some punks talking about using the opportunity to meet the captain of the squad they wanted to join.

Now, Yuto knew he was not the smartest knife in the shed(?) but even he had thought about the future, somewhat, from time to time, like maybe 3 times total. And on one of those occasions his thought had landed on the squads, where would be better? Which squad would allow him to lay off and have good fights? After careful consideration he gave up and went to fulfill an errand to Division 11 grounds.

Sometimes things just work out by themselves.

Like right now, he could spy Nakajima making her way toward the guy with the mask, the senior who kicked his teeth in said that he was a good fit for the 11th squad and there was one way to check. Making his way he took a bite from some of the dango on one of his sticks, approaching he managed to hear Nakajima saying something.

"...what are you looking for in those who join the Eleventh?"

Nakajima

Aha! An exchange, he was familiar with those. Although it was usually weaklings trying to join his 'protection group' and not the other way around.

"Yo!" He sent her a wave before focusing on the tall man, swallowing the dango in his mouth he continued "I am also interested in joining."

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

Thank you for updating your abilities, very well thought out. Just be aware that every Shinigami joins Squad Ten upon Graduation, but it wouldn't be unheard of for new Shinigami to have visited Squad Eleven barracks or be around members of other Squads. So that still allows you to play with that idea. Accepted altogether though!

@Expllo

Changed the bio so it is a little better

Bleach: Rise Of The New Generation

Yuto

~Basic~

Name: Yuto

Appearance:
Yuto stands at around 5'9", has black hair and his skin tones falls on the tanned side. His most prominent characteristic is the scar that divides his face and the smaller scars that cover his body.

Age:
180

Squad/Rank:
Unseated

Biography:
Personality: Aggravating and careless with a hint of recklessness, when it is not about a fight or menial work he can be seen lazying around in some random corner.

History: A previous resident of the 75 District of Rokungai, Yuto's first memories are of a maddening need to survive, satisfy the hunger, and become free of the dangers inherent to the district he lived in. It was during this particular stage of his life that he learned many of the lessons that would mark him later as a shinigami, none of them good, but all of them useful to survive.

Through sheer chance he did manage to join the academy where he was trained on all the proficiencies of a shinigami and despite possessing a complete lack of talent in Kido and the capacity to perceive spiritual energy he more than made up in impressive strength and unarmed combat, getting remarks from his teachers that it was purely thanks to these attributes that he graduated.

Sadly his dreams of a cushy life were dashed the moment he entered the 10th Division, where he along with others had to start from the lowest point a Shinigami could enter. It didn't help that during an errand to the 11th Division some seniors tried to push him around, which led to him reacting as was natural for him and eventually suffering one of his fastest defeats on the ring, earning him the nickname ‘Runt’ -and weirdly enough, getting him a recommendation to join- the 11th Squad. Like many other new members of the 10th Squad, he is treated not only like a common soldier but as a busybody for his seniors. Unexpectedly he has found himself fond of mindless physical labor.

Goals: A cushy life and good fights.

Squad Interests:

• Eleventh division
• Eighth Division
• Tenth Division

Relationships:
-Nakajima Ageha (Sparring Buddy): The one person he knows will try to kill him if they both are in the arena. It's great.
-Asami (Enemy?): The girl who has bluntly expressed her dislike of him, the feeling is mutual.
-Jinzo Iori (Clever guy): If it wasn't for this guy he wouldn't have learned what protection rackets were. Huge respect.
-Kobe Abiko (Slugmatch partner): This was the tall guy who keep asking to spar with everyone, has heavy fists. It is also great.

"Accumulate and explode, Aka"

Zanpakuto Appearance:

• Basic Form

  
  A simple Katana with a red handle accompanied by a black sheath
• Shikai form

  
  The same simple Katana with a red handle, the sheathe now sports a red cord wrap near the top
• Zanpakuto Spirit

  
  The spirit is a man with red hair and a white mask clothed in black and red robes who seems constantly on edge
• Inner World

  
  A ruined District ablaze with the distant sounds of fighting never growing quiet

Shikai Skills:

• Aka no Yukue: every time Aka is sheathed it starts to passively accumulate reiatsu within the sheath, which then allows the next attack to be launched at increased strength and speed. Every post it fills 20% of its total capacity, every time the reiatsu is used it rests for 1 post before start gathering again, the boosting effect is based on Yuto base capabilities
  Techniques
  • [Guren Shou: An emergency technique, rather than waiting for energy to accumulate Yuto instead forces Reiatsu into the Sheath, filling it halfway, enough to realize one of the other two techniques or to launch an attack with increased strength and speed, however using it deactivates Aka no Yukue for some time -1 extra post- before it starts accumulating energy again.] (cooldown of 5 posts]
  • [Shukari: Yuto releases all accumulated energy in a single slash of red sharpened reiatsu.] (Cooldown of 3 posts)
  • [Hi no Tobari: Yuto reabsorbs the energy accumulated, gaining a shield of red reiatsu that lasts a couple of seconds] (Cooldown of 2 posts)

@Teyao

Yuto

There's an NPC that uses Iaijutsu style of fighting, which is what your abilities is reminiscent to. That might occur some interest. Just keep in mind what your ability cooldowns and durations will be, I'm more than happy to help in this department if need be.

Is there a limit to how much spirit energy is accumulated or is it ever growing? Either or is fine, just want clarification.

@Expllo

There is a limit, it is roughly twice his strenght, conceptually the boost is proportional to his own strenght.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Ah shit she was mad.

Well, she didn't sound angry but he had caught the brief annoyance in her eyes and very small frown, Mac was certainly more the most open and expressive of them so it was pretty evident what she was feeling unless she made an effort to hide it.

"Of course," she answered. "Co-" She froze in terror as she realised she was just about to invite him into her room to talk, but with all that was going on in her head, with Adam and Zell, she felt it quite possibly the worst idea in the world to have any man in her room. "Let us, ahh," she stalled, her hand recoiling from the doorknob. "Let us go sit at the windowsill on the top floor. I think that will be where we have less chance of being disturbed."

Mac

He lifted an eyebrow before gesturing for her to lead the way, her caution was cute but he was not interested in diving into the mess that was her love life, uh, maybe thinking about it Fenna was his favorite party member, she was the only one who had her shit together.

Eventually, they were sitting on the windowsill in silence.

She seemed content on letting him speak first which was something he was not looking forward to but eventually, the silence became so unbearable that he ended up spilling the beans. Letting out a big breath he prepared.

"Look Mac, I ain't gonna beat around the bush, the night before we left for the temple me and Zell got sloshed at a tavern and then got into mischief, but I forgot I had the blessing with your appearance active. I meant to clear the misunderstanding but, well, everything else happened and we got busy" A hand went to rub the back of his neck "What I am trying to say is... sorry Mac, I fucked up and forgot to warn you"

He wanted to keep apologizing, to ask how he could make amends but... but first he had to hear a response. Didn't make sense to apologize and then not let the other person talk.

---

The next morning started normal -or as normal as it could be with everything that was happening, it was pleasant enough, with a fulfilling breakfast and friendly faces. Then the official messenger arrived, the message itself was brief but it still threw a wrench into his plans. No matter, the first day was just to coordinate and inform so he could get everything moving.

But first he had to notify his party members of the new orders.
