Interesting trick. Reno smirked as she produced two long swords but not doing so fast enough to stop the psychic attack he had made against her earlier sending her backwards, but she used a blade to stop her own momentum. another interesting trick.. he may use that later.. maybe not in this match but still he tucked the information away for another time.

His flurry of attacks was met with weapons whose purpose seemed to be solely to block him and be discarded. While the tossing of the first blade caught his gaze for a split second the rest did not distract him in the slightest. However at the end of his onslaught she used Kidou against him again. Since it was silent he didn't know which ones were coming until the last moment.. but decided to take a drastic measure since he had taken far more damage than he was willing to admit from his own Kurohitsugi earlier. The kidou net ensnared him and the other kidou connected causing an explosion.. creating dust which clouded visuals of him while she began her little speech and began to power up further.

However when the smoke cleared his hulking hollow form had been achieved.. this time clad in special energy based armor he had created all around his body to protect him. The armor fading after the explosion had hit it but the damage being done to him being completely negligible by that point.

"You're as fast as I am you say.." Reno said solemnly with his hollowed voice, "Who decided that?" and with a shunpo at his maximum speed he jumped behind her all of a sudden. "You're one of the people who are a match for me you say.. who decided that?" all the while his reiatsu flared wildly up and up as his ???% increased from annoyance and anger. "I am the one who decides these things.." He muttered annoyed before grabbing the back of her head and shoving it brutally into the ground until she herself was under it before releasing her and taking a few steps back to grin and mock her. "Don't you ever forget it."

Just to prove a point he began to charge an attack in his free hand while raising it above his head, forming a large sphere of energy that felt as dense and powerful as a cero oscuras, but he did not fire this attack yet, oh no, he waited. Waited for her to get up. Waited for her to be defiant. Then. He would put her out of her misery. Only then.

He dropped the energy sphere right in front of him to intercept her since she rushed him and created a dozen energy blades of his own in order to counter her new arsenal of weaponry. Leaving him free to cast a kidou.. but perhaps he should wait. The girl seemed to be growing exponentially in their battle and he wanted to see how far it would go. So instead hre fired a cero from his finger and gripped his blade in preparing a round of battering blows with it.

Which turned out to be a good thing because a moment later a Danku countered his energy ball and caused an explosion. Allowing her to continue her rush towards him, which he answered in kind by bringing his blade down heavily to bear against her defenses. Followed by a point blank Cero from his other hand. Following this he decided to push her further by casting Hadou 58 Tenran silently. Causing a tornado-like blast to hurl itself towards her from him left side. He then muttered to himself as a mental note for later, Creating a javelin of energy which he hurled at her for piercing effect should it hit in the process of doing so. Which made it sound like a Kidou he supposed when he thought about it.. but it was just more of his energy emission ability.

his weapon shattered her puny creations and his kidou sent her flying, both good things, but then she grew platinum reishi wings and regained her composure. He felt the energy build up which told him more kidou was coming, something he grinned about and was prepared for this time. HIs javelin exploded and upon it doing so the energy she had charged for kidou was released in two spells. Both of which got intercepted by "Danku!" which did not even budge when it blocked the two kidou.

She shunpo'd to get behind him but he managed to keep an eye on her, though not fully turned to face her. However he just smiled and her sword assault against him was thwarted at super high speeds by his Soul Speed Combat ability. Allowing him to form a reishi sword and block her with it so fast that it seemed like he hadn't moved. This block gave him time to actually turn and face her before bringing his sword down for an assault of his own using both hands on the one blade.

Or so it seemed because at that moment he fired a cero from his mouth instead. He didn't need to worry about anything but her at the moment. HIs energy blades kept her swords busy. She had to focus on him too or she'd lose the match. For he released a hadou 32 Okasen from his zanpaktou blade after swinging it downwards which released a thin yellow wave of energy at the girl after she dealt with the cero.

Reno was growing impatient though.. he was starting to run low on stamina..

Hrm.. He stopped and his power fluctuated down by a drastic amount, showing both his ???%'s change and his own stamina loss now that he wasn't revved at full throttle. "You have plenty of time.." Reno said calmly as he relaxed and stood there waiting for her to charge whatever planned attack she had in mind for him to deal with, "This was a spar meant to test you for the position over my own placement.. It would be a shame if I didn't try to crush everything you have to throw at me before this was all over," he said with a grin, "So let's have it.. I will do my best as well."

And with that he released all of his power. Everything he had remaining was pouring out of his body as he just stood there grinning at her. The promise of death returning to the battlefield as his eyes glowed red, Gripping his blade he brought it up in a defensive position counter intuitive of his threat earlier. He was going to have to play this one smart after all.. it's been a while since that was forced into him. This girl was nothing to laugh at.. but she was too green. Maybe in the future she'd have a better chance. Maybe with more mastery of her still flourishing powers.

He mused for a moment as he noticed her spiritual energy vanish into thin air all of a sudden. So she gave up fighting him spiritually? Going for broke eh.. He was laughing as she rushed him, literally laughing. Happy laughs, not arrogant or cocky, but happy laughs. "Here comes danger woman!" and he started waling towards her as she rushed him. Causually battering away fivce of her frontal attacks with his soul speed combat ability within a second of her attacks coming into his sphere of influence. leaving him to parry her final attack

He then fired two kidou of his own from his free hand at such speed it "almost" seemed like he had copied her and done it at the same time, but there was still a delay between them even if his hand had blurred to fire them off. This created first "Enkosen" which he stated aloud to buff it's defense followed by a hadou 63 Raikohou to make up for her increased power when she uses Kidou. Causing her kidou to hit his shield, shattering it, but dissipating her kidou in the process of doing so. Leaving her to fend off the higher level lightning kidou he had countered her with.

He formed an energy sword in his free hand after that and just began laughing again as he parried and countered each of her sword attacks with his own. However time was up and his body was feeling the effects of being at full throttle for so long in his weakened state. His body pulsed and he stopped laughing while his body shrunk down and returned to normal. This only made him laugh harder though as he blurred his entire body and pulled down his mask to make up for the drastic loss in power.

He fired a cero at her from one hand and a second one from his mouth while the mask was on.. but as soon as he finished firing them his mask cracked and broke off..disintegrating entirely.  Almost howling with insane joy at this point he stomped his foot down and put his hands together in an odd pose, grinning he deicded to rip off something he'd seen in one of the human's show..

"Ka...me..ha..me..HA!" And with that he fired a large beam of energy at her similar to yet another cero but much faster. When the beam was finished his large amount of spiritual energy was depleted and his body ached. He was now panting but still smiling and laughing in between the pants. "That is enough. You pass for trying to gain my respect." He stood up straight, smirked, sheathed his zanpaktou causing his second energy sword to fade, and brushed dust off his clothes a bit, "Well done. If I hadn't eaten that first hadou I would have done much better, but in this weakened state I've got nothing left to give for now.. perhaps when my strength has returned in full we should have a rematch. Wouldn't that be interesting. I hope you've grown more powerful by then."
