Full Circle Reunion PRIVATE [Training]

Serenely calm blue eyes watched as Luke performed a shunpo to carry him within very close range of the gathered dancing yellow kidou emanating from the swordsman's hand. The old warrior couldn't fathom what Luke was thinking as he began speaking the full incantation for the same spell Ginsen was pretending to cast. It was an unthinkable act as it was almost exactly what Ginsen' had just warned against. There was no time to speak the many syllables required to complete those incantations if Ginsen were firing a non-incantation spell. Even if he had just held it there, the resulting explosion would have severely injured the younger shinigami. Bewilderment covered Ginsen's face as he let the fake Raikouhou in his hand fade away without being fired.

The swirling vortex of reiatsu around the wooden sword in Ginsen's other hand suddenly made a change as he grasped its flow and quickly applied reiatsu control to shape the power into the shape of a sword. The spiraling torrent suddenly condensed and shone brightly with a silver light before solidifying into the shape of a thick katana. The swirling vortext of reiatsu beneath the sword construct was still violently thrashing about. "Rasenpakutou..." There was a stoic look on Ginsen's face as he looked at Luke with wide eyes that were full of killing intent. The swordsman would perform a single slash with his right arm guiding the blade's edge in a smooth arc drawn across Luke's torso in a horizontal line. This attack was performed while Ginsen made a back step and possessed a speed Luke would be unable to react to. However if the blow landed it would only be a superficial cut that would be felt as impact but stopped by his shihakusho. The spiral surfave of the Rasenpakutou would tear away at the outer black jacket of the uniform exposing the pure white material beneath.

When ended his single step back from Luke he the rose his weapon over head as it to attack by stepping in and slashing downwards. However this attack was simply a feint, as was the attack to his chest. Both intended to draw Luke into a sword fight by attacking him mid incantation.

Training Technique
Technique Name: Rasenpakutou
Technique Description: A technique developed to make up for the lack of a zanpakutou and unique to Ginsen's storm reiryoku. By tightly condensing a spiraling torrent of reiatsu around ones hand or an object such as a stick, the user creates a makeshift weapon. After surrounding a limb or object the reiatsu then takes on a blade-like shape with a single edge. This technique replicates a zanpakutou by condensing Ginsen's reiatsu into a blade shape and can be used to purify hollows or clash with other zanpakutou in the same manner that kidou can. Instead of dealing cutting damage alone, the spiraling reiatsu both cuts and grinds at the same time allowing it to dig into a wound and parry more effectively. The technique requires 1 turn in preparation to balance Ginsen's wild reiryoku and condense it properly, however it can be held indefinitely and only has a one turn cooldown before it can be used again after being dispelled or canceled. It can be channeled through any of Ginsen's limbs or objects he holds not exceeding 3m in size.

Dissatisfaction filled Ginsen Daizo as he watched Luke choose to flee and attack through other means rather than meet the exile's blade head on. There was naught much more disappointing than asking for a clash of swords only to be met with a retreat. But this blight on Ginsen's fun did not create any animosity towards Luke as there was little for the younger fighter to gain from clashing head on with Ginsen. The tattered rag of a uniform made Ginsen appear like the scum of Rukongai's 60th district but he'd shown too much of his hand by overpowering Luke earlier. Now the boy probably knew that a direct confrontation was only going to end in his own defeat barring a miracle occurring.

As Luke's shunpo carried him away from Ginsen the swordsman returned to a balanced stance with his Rasenpakutou held at the ready down the center of his form. If Luke wasn't going to accommodate Ginsen's desire for a sword duel then there was no longer any reason to continue this farce. He'd seen enough of the "shinigami" this generation had to offer and was not impressed. The one he was fighting now was not a total lost cause, but he clearly lacked the values the old fighter thought a shinigami should embody. As Ginsen watched Luke release his shikai before performing yet another shunpo, a simple spell was prepared muttered under his breath, "Bakudo no Hachijuuichi..." Ginsen didn't know if Luke was going for a physical attack or a kidou based one, but the spell he readied would ensure that neither could ever meet their mark.

Luke's hohou technique would place him above Ginsen where he fired a no incantation raikouhou, but the former exile was ready and held a single hand up as he spoke the name of his own spell. "Danku..." A translucent wall of reiatsu would appear over Ginsen's head and block the hadou sent his way reducing the effect of the hadou to simply create a smoking visual obscurement between Luke and his target. During this brief moment where nether shinigami would be able to see each other Ginsen canceled the Rasenpakutou around his weapon and muttered another spell. "Bakudo no nijuuroku, Kyokko." The whispered spell would then bend light around Ginsen and conceal his reiatsu giving the impression that he had simply disappeared altogether.

Ginsen sighed quietly to himself and walked away from the battlefield heading towards seireitei leaving Luke to see nothing after the smoke from his attack cleared save for the fading danku as it dissipated into loose reishi. This fight was over, but Ginsen's efforts to train the gotei 13 had only just begun.
