Katori Dojo—
Isshin Shiba, now dressed in the Katori Dojo uniform, had four bells tied to his belt and cuffs.
He held a massive marlinwood sword, swinging it continuously. The bells on his body jingled and jangled with his movements.
"Raise it a little higher. Have you already forgotten how to do practice swings?" Sora asked, tapping the back of Isshin's hand with a wooden sword.
"Professor, this is too hard! This wooden sword is so heavy, and I have to constantly use my spiritual pressure to control the bells..." Isshin couldn't help but wail.
"This requires time to get used to. It's not something you can master in a short period," Sora said.
Since Isshin's foundation was better than the other disciples' when they started, Sora's requirements for him were also higher.
He had him proceed directly to the advanced spiritual pressure control training.
This was Isshin's first time encountering such a training method, and he needed some time to adapt.
"Can't you just teach me sword techniques directly, Professor!" Isshin asked.
"You're too impatient. A restless mind won't do. To train, you must first train your heart," Sora said, lightly tapping the top of Isshin's head with the wooden sword. "The Katori style's method for training spiritual pressure control is already considered fast. Powerful spiritual pressure control is the foundation of becoming strong. Master this, and you will stand out among those with the same level of spiritual pressure."
Isshin ducked his head and quickly said, "Fine, I'll practice..."
Sora then went to check on the training progress of his other disciples.
After the live blade competition ended, Sora had assigned new training tasks to Kana Azashiro and the other three.
Kana's right hand still needed some time to recuperate, so Sora taught her to learn "Shitotsu" (Finger Sword), a move she could practice with her left hand.
Shinji Hirako was practicing Kidō.
He was also very interested in Kidō and didn't want to specialize only in swordsmanship.
Kensei Muguruma was practicing the "Tsuifū" (Chasing Wind) sword technique. The effects of his Zanpakutō would be even more powerful when used in conjunction with this technique.
Jin'emon Tsubaki, on the other hand, was practicing the "Ryūkō" (Flowing Light) sword technique.
The sword technique training he had previously assigned to Sōsuke Aizen had also been completed:
[Disciple Sōsuke Aizen has completed one sword technique training. Reward settlement.]
[Reward received: 5,000 General Experience.]
[Reward received: Sword Technique: Harō (Wave Breaker) (Beginner level).]
Sōsuke Aizen had already learned "Harō," and the feedback reward for this training mission was also "Harō."
Just as Sora was pondering what to teach Aizen next, Aizen suddenly made his own request:
"Professor, can you teach me Healing Kidō?"
"Are you very interested in Healing Kidō?" Sora's eyebrow twitched.
Aizen wouldn't develop an interest in Healing Kidō for no reason. Healing Kidō and medical knowledge were closely related to the spiritual body. He felt that Aizen was likely interested in the spiritual body itself, which was why he thought of learning Healing Kidō.
"I find Healing Kidō to be very practical. If I can master it, it might be of great use in the future," Sōsuke Aizen said with a smile.
He often snuck into the Seireitei at night, infiltrating the homes of nobles living in the noble district to consult their books.
After a period of reading, he had already learned many secrets from these books and was no longer ignorant of the world.
He was now curious about something deeper—the essence of a Shinigami.
"Then I will teach you Healing Kidō," Sora nodded.
Even without his intervention, Sōsuke Aizen would sooner or later walk the path of spiritual body research.
Sora himself had ideas about conducting such research. Rather than letting Aizen experiment on his own, it was better to intervene early. When Aizen grew stronger, he could assist in his own research.
[Current training mission has been added. Guide Sōsuke Aizen to complete basic Healing Kidō training (In Progress).]
...
A week later, Sora received a notice from Head Professor Shōda. The lecture course for the advanced Kidō class had been scheduled, and he was invited to teach.
"Professor Katori, I heard that during the Karakura Town incident, you cast 'Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō' and defeated a Great Hollow with a single blow. Can you teach us that?" a student asked.
"'Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō' is a high-level Hadō. For you now, mastering it is still too difficult," Sora said with a smile. "The advantage of Kidō lies in its diversity. The vast number of spells can handle all sorts of situations. Don't just blindly pursue high-level Kidō."
"The power of a Kidō varies from person to person. Today, I'm going to teach you some Kidō techniques so you can use them more effectively in actual combat..."
During the lecture, Sora explained the techniques of "Incantation Abandonment" and "Post-Release Incantation" to the advanced Kidō class students, as well as the practical application of Kidō in battle.
After the class, Sora received the reward for his first lecture to the advanced Kidō class:
[First completion of an advanced Kidō class lecture. Additional reward received.]
[Received Ability—Double Incantation.]
[Received: 10,000 General Experience for basic abilities.]
[Random Skill Proficiency Level +1] X2
[Received: 3 Disciple Binding Slots.]
Sora had obtained another new ability. He looked at the new entry on his panel:
[Double Incantation: You have a unique understanding of Kidō, allowing you to combine the incantations of two Kidō spells and release them as a composite spell.]
"Double Incantation" was an extremely difficult Kidō technique to master. Only Shinigami who were highly skilled in Kidō had mastered it.
In addition to the ability and general experience, he also received two skill proficiency level upgrades. Both were applied to "Shitotsu," raising its proficiency level to Mastered.
With "Shitotsu" at the Mastered level, Sora recalled the techniques in his mind and suddenly had an inspiration.
He held up two fingers, and arcs of lightning wrapped around them.
Then, sparks erupted from within the lightning, instantly transforming into crimson flames.
The lightning and flames intertwined, eventually becoming a golden lightning-flame.
Finger Sword: Raihi Ryōgen!
He had combined "Raihi Ryōgen" with "Shitotsu"!
Releasing "Raihi Ryōgen" in the form of "Shitotsu," although his body wouldn't get the enhancement from the golden lightning-flame, the casting speed was much faster. Like "Ryūkō," it could also be used for ranged attacks.
Sora could feel the violent vibrations of the reishi within the spiritual pressure blade on his fingers. The power should be quite impressive. His hands were itching to test out its strength.
He had gained a lot of spiritual pressure recently and really needed to find someone to practice with.
Growing too fast required actual combat to consolidate his gains.
He mentally reviewed his acquaintances.
His disciples and the academy Professors were out of the question; they couldn't provide enough pressure for him.
Batsu'unsai's physical condition was not suitable.
Kyōraku Shunsui would definitely not agree. With his personality, he would be too lazy to fight.
Kirio Hikifune probably wouldn't agree to such a request either; she was not a belligerent person.
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni... Sora shook his head. He didn't want to get beaten up one-sidedly.
It seemed Unohana was the only captain willing to give him a proper fight.
A bold idea emerged in his mind:
What if I go and ask Unohana for a sword fight?
