"Of course you'll be defending well, in case you also didn't notice my sword is considerably shorter than most other fighters" Xen'Zel then pivoted and starting moving in the opposite direction that he had been going and switching his attacking hand. This time however he started to mix up his attack rhythm, no longer attacking on only the third step. "And you're going to need to be prepared for every possibility that can happen, Hollow won't be as quick as me usually, but they're going to be a helluva lot meaner"

Xen then performed Utsusemi, having his afterimage acting as though it were attacking, and swung at Noba from the other side with the blunt edge of his weapon.

Xen'Zel laughed loudly as Noba dusted himself off. "Sorry kid, but that unexpected stuff is how I've survived doing my job so well for the past century and a half. But if you really don't want any more surprises then how about your pick what we do next, because obviously if we keep going you might lose an ear or a finger."

Xen started spinning his sword by the tassel, "Besides, I really hate taking things seriously...most of the time" He then tossed his sword high up into the air and started concentrating his spiritual energy into his legs, causing the air around him to distort and glimmer with his unique jade green energy.

Xen caught his sword as it fell down, his legs now flared with powerful green energy. Laughing he said "So you want to mix in Kido? I should probably mention I've developed a few nifty tricks with kido"

In the blink of an eye Xen'Zel was no longer in sight, his reiatsu completely gone. Suddenly there were three of him standing around Noba, each point at him with his sword. "Bakudo 1! Sai! Bakudo 4! Hainawa! Bakudo 61! Rikujokoro!" The spells all sounded as though they were being cast at the same time, though there was a slight delay between each one.

Jumping away after he had cast the kido, Xen spoke "Dance with me, Briz'riia" His weapon glowed and became a scythe.

Xen'Zel laughed loudly at the spell Noba just spoke. "If you're just going to waste your breath making up spells I will too! Hado Five and Three Quarters! Super Fast Kicks!" He lifted up one leg, balancing himself with his weapon, and did five rapid kicks through the smoke at Noba, firing off a small ball of energy with each one. Seeing a grappling hook burst through the dust cloud he quickly sidestepped, mindful not to make contact with it.

Then he quickly stepped to be behind Noba, ready to brace him if he gets hit by any of the attacks, and if he is able to dispel them all readied to defend himself.

Xen'Zel laughed a little and sat Noba down, "Sorry Noba, I may have been considered a genius in my academy days, but I'm pretty bad at the whole healing thing." Walking around to face Noba, "But I guess I should've held back a little bit more. Be glad I didn't put a bit more into that attack, otherwise we'd need to find a way to reattach that arm!"

Laughing again he walked towards the center of the crater again, returning Briz'riia to her sealed form. "Well before he get back to the Fourth Division barracks and the infirmary I'm going to show you something really cool I developed." The air around them started to get heavy, dark clouds started forming in the sky. The winds starting to pick up, and soon the entire sky was covered in heavy grey clouds. Xen'Zel looked incredibly serious now, taking a breath and holding his sword vertically in front of him, "Rain down and cleanse these lands...Briz'riia Queen of Tempests. Bankai!" Xen'Zel and his weapon glowed brightly with energy.

His energy burst outwards, blowing dust into the air, obscuring Noba's view of him. Then it gently started to rain.
