Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 20: Training Arc, Learning the Hybrid Technique

Kazui's POV:

Well, if it wasn't obvious already, this Yoruichi beat me to wherever we were going to.

Her Flash steps had longer range and speed, making her superior compared to mine. From what I can see, maybe this lesson would be about speed or agility. This definitely is an essential thing to learn, paired with my now increased reflexes.

We raced through the large canyons and cliffs until we arrived at an opening into a cave. Both of us landed onto a rocky surface in front of the cave opening. Yoruichi led the way.

"What is this place?", I asked, both of us walking inside the torch-lit area.

"This is just an entrance into the place where you're gonna learn how to be faster", Yoruichi says as we ventured deeper into the cave, spiralling downwards.

"Well, I suppose I knew already. The race to get here was just a test to see how fast I was. Am I right?"

She turned around and smiled at me, "You're not as dumb as I thought you were"

"Is that supposed to be an insult?"

"...Back to that point you made earlier. Yes, that was to test how fast you were. And to my surprise, you were able to at least keep up with me by a bit. Ichigo taught you the basics, but I'm here to teach the advanced stuff"

Ignoring the question and getting straight to the point I see.

Both of us finally arrived in an open underground area similar to Urahara's Underground Training Area. Guess this is where he got the inspiration from.

"Flash Step (Shunpo) is a major part in a Soul Reaper's transportation, as you know. It allows the user to travel from Point A to Point B at a blink of an eye by creating 'steps' in the air. But if we add some additional techniques to that, it'll help you in terms of traversal and combat", she put 1 finger up and then pointed at me, "Kisuke told me about you. Well, I already knew you, but he also told me some other facts. Like Ichigo, you're a hybrid of Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Hollow. Each species has their own way of traversal just like Flash Step"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Well, Quincies have a technique called Hirenkyaku. Arrancars, who were originally Hollows, have their technique called Sonido. Combine those two along with Flash Step and you will have a major increase and advantage in terms of speed. I'll also teach you my secret technique to give you an offensive advantage as well"

"Right. So, if that were to happen, how would that even be possible to learn", I fidgeted with my Zanpakuto.

"That's up to you to. You have to unlock that yourself"

I stood there for a moment. I contemplated about my decision for a moment before I made my decision. All this talk about different types of traversal techniques is floating around my brain, making it hard to grasp on. Learning it will be hard, but I will push through.

Like I did with Shinji, I'll brute force and go past my limits so that I will unlock my full potential and powers. I looked back at Yoruichi, who was staring at me questioningly.

I bowed, "Yoruichi-sensei, I ask of you to please teach me to become faster"

"Raise your head", I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, her expression looked pleased with my response, "I gladly accept your request"

"And for the record, just call me Yoruichi"
