บท 16: NEW TEACHER

Ryo was shocked to see that his attack was blocked and even worse than that, his wooden stick broke, too. He looked at the instructor, who began speaking.

"you're very talented. I expect nothing much out of you, but you put up a good fight. I would like it if you allowed me to teach you the art of the sword"

Ryo modestly bowed. "thank you, u sir, I'd deeply appreciate it"

ryo knew he couldn't let such an opportunity pass him, with such a skilled fighter teaching him he'd be able to grow even faster so much was going through his head right now Kenpachi could increase his strength by ten folds just by using basic zanjutsu if I'm correct on this since I have the proper techniques using a blade won't be a problem

reyeta signaled me to follow him, "ill be instructing you on techniques every Sunday and from now on address me as sensei"

"yes sensei"

we headed back to the class and sensei went back to instructing the students who still were unable to do it properly, after 20 minutes class ended and hitaju was outside ready to guide me to my next class

"your next class is hakuda, which is just close combat with your hands. You just spar most of the time so it's pretty fun"

ryo was quiet for a bit thinking to himself ' I don't think it's necessary since we shinigami use our zanpaktou but if my zanjutsu attacks don't work, I guess knowing martial arts might come in handy '

We talked for a bit on our way there and I learned that hitaju was actually from a small clan called the riaklu they did not even mention it. bleach turns out they specialize in making wine

Finally, I reached hakudo there weren't any chairs or desks. It looked like a large dojo. There were a few students there already standing up facing the instructor who was an old-looking man I decided to do. Same, after everyone came, he introduced himself.

"my name is ulcu I was a former shinigami of the 11th division and I specialize in hakudo, today we'll be starting with the basics just a few kicks and punches but before that, I need all of you to find a partner and spar with them so I can see where you guys currently stand"

everyone found a partner mine was some unknown fodder once our teacher said to start I quickly kicked him he didn't even have to react he fell unconscious, a few of the students stared since my opponent was kind of tall and I was short but they went back to their business a few others were able to one-shot their opponents so what I did wasn't weird

After the fights were done, they made us do kicks and punches the whole class time. I was glad when the class ended. It was pretty boring.

Hoho class was also boring too. I focused when it was time for kido I learned a lot.

They grade most spells on a scale from 1 to 99, spells of the latter being the most powerful and the most difficult to perform. To use Kidō, a Shinigami must recite the specific incantation for the spell, which is often long and requires a few seconds to speak.

The power of a spell relies on the power of the user, as even a low-level spell can be utterly devastating when utilized by a high-class Shinigami Barriers Focused spiritual energy formed into a solid form of energy. This energy can take on many shapes or colors as determined by the user. Barriers are protective and can be as simple as a barrier, only protecting one direction or encompassing all sides of an area. Some Barriers can be used for containment, and some barriers can be used offensively. Barriers can mask spiritual pressure and can make one spiritually and physically invisible. The strength of a barrier is dependent upon the power of the user. Weak barriers are easily breakable, while strong ones can last for centuries. Barriers created by noble blood are said to be unbreakable by those of lesser status. Someone can place beforehand and activate certain barriers later, while others require certain artifacts and time to activate.

Seals are somewhat similar to barriers, but far more powerful and require far more preparation to create. Seals can only be used by those of sufficient spiritual power and are meant to hold the most powerful and/or dangerous artifacts or beings. The seals are difficult to break.

Had Hadō Offensive spells inflicted direct damage to the enemy. Their effectiveness differs depending on the user. It is said the effectiveness of the higher-ranked spells is beyond imagination.

Those were some of the main forms of kido that I was informed of, with this knowledge I'm able to now try some of what I wanted to do, kido in bleach is severely underrated Aizen's main attacks were kido, and look at how strong he became

finally, the last class of the day was applications of rietsu, which was what I forward to the most after kido with this'll be able to see how a person changes their rietsu property, TO BE CONTINUED
