Kazui's POV:

"Shunko, a technique that only a few people know, including the Squad 2 Captain", Yoruichi explains, "It combines both Kido and Hakuda and drives it into both arms and legs, preventing anything from piercing that area. You can also fire attacks using this move. Although..."

She started to try and stifle her laugh.

"Uhm. What is it?"

"Nothing, nothing. Let's just get on with this already"

Yoruichi walked backwards and stood directly in front of me, giving us both a large area of space. She held both her arms out, and from what I see, Spiritual energy was swirling around her arms and legs. I can feel a slight rise in Spiritual Pressure as she activated this move. The orange clothing she wore tore apart as the energy enveloped around her body and electricity crackled out of her.

"Wow, that looks cool", I say, my jaw dropped.

"Correct, and another thing, you're going to learn it", Yoruichi says, "And knowing your father and his genes, you're going to easily learn this. Well, he never learned it, but he powered through anything he wanted to learn"

So, my dad never learned this, huh? When I show him this, he'll definitely be impressed by my newly found skills.

I first had to focus on my Kido. I never knew much about Kido except some sealing and attacking spells that Mr. Tessai taught me. So how am I able to do this?

I could instead focus on my Spiritual Pressure and energy to try and create a spell that can unlock my Shunko, but like I said before, I didn't know much. But then I realized that I did have one thing, and it wasn't Kido.

My grip on my Zanpakuto tightened as I tried to focus my mind on the blade. I focused on the way that I released my energy whenever I performed a Getsuga Tenshou, the power that it wields. My main attack had been my anchor to branch out on other skills, and this was one moment when I must use it.

I closed my eyes and entered a state where I could enter my Inner world, inside my Zanpakuto. I gathered all the strength and my abilities from the Zanpakuto. This power that I hold inside every part of my blade will become my weapon.

After a while, I could feel a strange sensation from my right arm, so I opened my eyes. Black and blue energy enveloped around my arms, ripping apart the fabric of my Shihakusho and travelling across my body...where the rest of my clothes were tearing apart.

Crap! I had to do something about this. I concentrated a small percentage of my focus on my Fullbring powers to keep my hoodie and some parts of my Shihakusho intact. The energy then moved towards my legs and a light feeling erupted inside of me. My weight felt lighter as the energy supported my balance which at last concluded my transformation.

I then noticed a difference in my Zanpakuto, or should I say Zanpakutos. My original sword turned midnight black with glowing blue around the edges as the energy covered the blade, and shrunk to a standard size. The energy then produced the same identical blade that formed inside my other hand. From my power, it must've balanced the heaviness that I kept feeling from my attacks against Shinji and from the Dangai. Interesting. This must be an additional cool effect from my Shunko.

Yoruichi looks at me impressed, her own Shunko disappearing as she examined mine.

"I'm surprised that your clothes didn't fall off during the transformation", she says, laughing at me.

A vein popped in my head, "So that's what you were trying to cover up earlier, huh? Nice one, real nice one..."

"Hey, don't take it seriously. Luckily you have your Fullbring to keep your clothes on. But now this is the test that determines it all", Yoruichi announces loudly, using her Shunko once again, "This will be the final fight between you and me".

"I look forward to it, Yoruichi", I say, pointing my sword at her.

"Right back at you, Kazui", she says, getting into her battle position.

We both charged towards each other. Lightning and black energy crackled in the air as we clashed together. Both of our attacks so fast that it would be impossible to keep track of. If this was the last fight, then I needed to win. I'll be able to proceed if I win and get onto the next training point.

We'll see who comes out on top, and who loses.
