Captain of the 5th division, Hollis Edwards stands in an empty field just outside of rukongai and holds up on finger. Several dozen yards away is a small forest filled with large trees.

"Hado number four. Byakurai.."

Hollis says plainly. He had just finished a bit of paperwork and is grew quite bored just staying in the barraks. So , to get a bit of very basic training in, he decided to go out to the giant field and practice his lowl level kido. At this point he's become quite masterful. A stream of white lightning erupts from his index finger and seconds later his a single tree creating a small but extremely deep and precise hole. He moves his finger to the side as more blasts of white lightning come out hitting other trees in rapid succession. The shinigami sighs a bit as he becomes bored once more.

Hey, Captain!" shouted Kato. He was excited for his "TDay with the Cap'n." He knew that none of this training would pass as a waste of time. Kato would walk away from this training having learned something, anything. He couldn't wait to get the ball rolling.

"hm?.."

Hollis turns his head to look a bit over his shoulder to see who was yelling for him. As he does, his kido continue to hit trees with pinpoint accuracy. He recognizes the man and stops shooting as he turns around completely.

" Oh yes, hello Kato, how have you been pally? I'm suppossed to have a little training session with you right? well, i guess we can get started then.."

Hollis stands and places his hands behind his back as he waits for kato to make his way up to him.

Kato shunpo'd his way to the Captain's back and pointed his sword towards the Captain's back. "You're getting slow, old man. Kato had one thing in his mind. Speed. He wanted to be faster. He needed to be faster. Captain was the fastest person Kato personally knew and there was no one better to learn from than him.

"You may be right? i think my Utsusemi may even be getting some crows feet. how unsightly"


Hollis says as he stands with his finger pointed to the side of Katos temple. Katos sword seems to go through the hollis standing in front of him as it fades away, revealing itself to be an after image. Hollis winks.

"bang bang, i shot you down"

Captain edwards says with his other hand still behind his back and his normal smile on his face.

Kato's body is pierced, then seems to vanish. Captain had fallen for the same prank.... Again. Kato kicked off the Captain's head and onto the floor in front of the Captain. Enough playing around. It was time to get serious. Kato kept a stern look on his face as he stared into the Captain's eyes. He saw nothingness in there.... Darkness.... The same thing Kato wish he had in his own eyes.

Hollis lets loose a small chuckle at katos antics.

"good show, good show hahah"

He then glasres at the shinigami and sees that he is ready to get serious. Edwards squints his eyes a bit as he reads his new training partner.

"It seems you're ready to get serious..very well then, what is it you're trying to do get faster? I suppose i can teach you.."

Hollis shunpos directly infront of kato, reappearing in a bent squating position, letting loose a punch for his gut with his right hand. his left remains close by.

Kato smiled. His Captain knew better than that. As the punch struck Kato's chest, he simply walked right through the Captain. "How about we actually start training? I want to be faster. Show me how. Kato continued to stare at the Captain, the same stern look on his face.

How exactly would they train? How can you train someone to be faster?

Abilities Used

Name: Q2
Description: Kato moves "through" an opponent while cutting them. This technique is easily avoidable and is often used as a way to get behind the opponent(s).
Cooldown: Can be used once every 5 posts.

"Hm"

Hollis stands up, watching kato use the same technique he did a week or so ago against that arrancar. He then turns to him and holds up his left hand and extends his index finger.

"Alrighty then..hado 4, byakurai"

Hollis says the spell just to make it stronger, even though his is already plenty deadly. He fires a single blast directly at kato right where he can see.

"You know I'm faster than that," said Kato as he dodged the attack. He needed to be pushed harder. Much harder. He wouldn't get faster dodging attacks he had already dodged millions of times. He'd dodged a much stronger version, as well. Why was the Captain holding back? Was he afraid of hurting Kato? Impossible. Captain knew he didn't have to worry about Kato. What the hell was it, then?
