"That's it Y/N keep up the pressure" jushiro said weaving away from a backhanded sword strike.
"Now try again" jushiro pulled out his dual zanpakuto taking a slightly more offensive position he rushed in towards Y/N for an overhead strike.

"Not this time" Y/N jumped up and instead of being hit by the hilt of jushiro's sword he caught him as he jumped sending a flying knee to his face

Jushiro went rag doll for a bit but landed gracefully wiping a bit of blood from his nose
"Very clever. You're starting to think with your head"

Y/N exhausted from the full few days of training grinned eager to keep going. 'I know I can be as strong as Ichigo. I'll have to go to the world of the living soon to meet him. I believe this is the year grand fisher gets his mother' Y/N while stuck in these thoughts didn't notice jushiro closing in rapidly

"You should really pay attention" jushiro said calmly bring a side swing only for it to be stopped by a reflex. Jushiro had a look of shock for a second before blocking another zanpakuto strike that followed up.

"Hm. Looks like you've drilled my reflexes enough" Y/N put on a bemused smile going back on the offensive towards his new teacher. Coming in with stab Y/N quickly faked out and went under his teacher hitting him in the gut with his hilt

Jushiro coughed a little keeled over at the waist
"Well I wasn't expecting that" jushiro said between coughs regaining his composure
"That's enough for now Y/N let's have some tea" jushiro slowly sheathed his dual swords and went to the nearby tea house to cook up a brew

"Ok. I'll train a bit more while it's brewing" Y/N slowly got into a ready stance and focused on his breathing. He was a sword wielder and not of this world completely. His breaths came in slow and steady completely concentrated on his breathing he kept his eyes closed. "Total concentration breathing. Water breathing. First form water surface slice!" swiftly swinging his sword a trail of water followed cutting the air and sending a wave of spiritual pressure towards a nearby wall.
"Fuck. Ow ow ow ow ow" Y/N clutched his chest in pain still not used to total concentration breathing yet. "I feel like my lungs and muscles are on fire!"
Y/N hit the ground with a loud thud writhing in pain. After a little bit Y/N slowly got up and readied again.

"My my. That's an interesting move" a voice came from a nearby rooftop. The voice sounded slightly scrapey but calming. Jumping from the rooftop the figure clad in his usual flowered kimono landed near Y/N. "So you're the new prodigy right"

"Oh hey shunsui" Y/N didn't think twice that he hadn't met the captain yet using his name.

"Well now. You seem to know my name before we even met" shunsui tipped his hat a little smiling

"Oh. Uhh. I'm just good with names. I'm Y/N." Y/N scratched the back of his neck. 'Would they get mad if I keep using the breathing techniques. If those worked there's many others I want to try.'
"So what brings you here"

"I sensed a very odd spiritual pressure just now and when I looked over you were doing some weird move. Tell me. What was that" shunsui said looking at Y/N earnestly with his eyes but grinning with his mouth.

"It's a breathing technique" Y/N was a little worried

"Oh. Shunsui have you come to join us for tea" jushiro called out from his hut to beckon the pair over. "I'll pour another cup"

——————INSIDE THE TEA HUT———————

Taking a sip of his tea Y/N gave shunsui a worried side glance as he made small talk with jushiro.
"So this little prodigy. Will he be training with other captains" shunsui said with a little to much earnest creeping into his calm demeanor.
