Kenichi had smirked as the captain commander had gotten ready for his attack. His body felt chills, and his senses felt hightened. He had felt his heart and blood pumping. It all felt surreal. "Tetsu..." Kenichi said, as all of his reiatsu had suddenly focused onto his blade's edge, the reiatsu being sealed away almost. Not overflowing as much. "Wangetsu!" He yelled, as he shunpo'd forward, vertically cutting straight down.

The dust had began to settle, and Kenichi could be heard panting out loud, a large smile on his face. That was until, the dust did settle. And he saw the captain had merely caught his zanpakuto within the palm of his hand. "A-Amazing" He complimented, taking a step back before he noticed something even more spectacular. "Is this why most shinigami enjoy training with you?" He joked, getting right back into a basic kendo position.

"Pretty much, though it might be because I take the time to help people learn things." Kaede would answer, the blade in his hand starting to radiate with energy much like Kenichi's blade did earlier, though unlike Kenichi, Kaede would rush in closing the gap while the blade charged he would strike out with the pommel of the blade aiming the strike at the young man's forehead. "Something to keep in mind of while you are charging your attack you need to remember to keep moving."

With that Kaede would flash behind Kenichi again aiming another pommel strike at him, this one aimed for his spine between the shoulder blades, flashing off to one side Kaede would wait, while the blade still radiated power. "And use your skills to offset the opponent before launching the attack, so that you can increase the success of it hitting"

While the captain commander hand aimed to hit Kenichi in the forehead with the pommel of his copied zanpakuto, Kenichi had pulled his zanpakuto in the way, blocking the first hit, but completely leaving himself open as he got his in his back, he had fallen to his knee as a trick, as he had landed on his knee, he had leapt backwards into the air, looking to see where the captain commander was, before he began to fall towards the ground. Kenichi had put both hands on his blade, as he held it aimed straight down, as gravity had pulled him to the Earth he had expected the captain commander to easily dodge, planning to rip his weapon out of the ground and attack him whichever way he dodged.

=Probably won't work, but it's worth a shot until I can shoot another tetsu wangetsu= Kenichi thought as he sent his attack at him, his face showing that of concentration. Kenichi wanted to at least land a good attack, he had to think how he could land such an attack though.

From where Kaede stood he saw as Kenichi recovered from the back strike by leaping backwards thinking that the captain commander was still behind him. "You really should pay more attention bud" And with that Kaede would move in slowly walking as he did. "Like things you should keep in mind, there is more to your training than swinging around your blade, just keep that in mind."

As to prove his point, Kaede would wave his hand casting a low level bakudo that would engulf the young shinigami with a red aura that would lock him in place before swinging the blade releasing an arc of pure reiatsu, the attack was dead on for a direct strike. At the last second Kaede would use Sho to knock the blast off course proving his point thoroughly. "See?"

Techniques Used:

Kenichi... Had been surprised to say the least. Surprised that this had actually gone into his favor. The reason Kenichi had thought this was going in his favor, was because the captain was still playing around. He knew He could break the bakudo, but he decided in a split moment to attack, which he did while still being midair. Kenichi had concentrated for a second, before he slashed his sword towards the head captain's way, the grey reiatsu was his tetsu wangetsu. This time he didn't want to charge it up, meaning it wasn't going to be the strongest, but it could be used way quicker, him sending the attack while the head captain was writing Kenichi's name into the air.

However, he did not expect him to actually shoot a tetsu wangetsu at Kenichi. Kenichi actually jumping back for a second, and putting his own zanpakuto in the way. However, after the captain commander blew it away, Kenichi sighed in relief. "I thought you were trying to kill me with my own technique for a second." He said as he got right back into kendo position.
