There was a quick surge of reiatsu as Shio released his zanpakuto. Meilin smiled, it seemed he really didn't intend on taking the warm up any further. Which was fine with her, she hadn't been using much reiatsu up until now, a bit more of a work out was always welcome. Though she was more interested in seeing how she faired against that release of his. Somehow, he managed to narrowly dodge the back edge of her sword, which displeased the female shinigami to some extent, but that was quickly remedied.

She felt as her feet planted themselves onto her target landing in Yorishou's face. She rebounded from the attack as she pushed off his face going backwards in a flip, keeping her eyes on the other two as she tried to gain some distance for her next move.

She landed about 15m away from Yorishou who was in the process of getting to his feet still, she could go after him or there was Shio. She was sure when he released she'd caught glimpse of something like a candle at first, but now it was a... was rapier? His zanpakuto had the ability to change shape similar to her own, though it could be this was also the only form his was capable of taking. She'd have to be careful of that. Hmm, perhaps it would be best to find out while she had the chance. She quickly ran towards Shio, past the grounded Yorishou ignoring him and lunging at the other male shinigami with her left sword going for a thrust into his right shoulder.

Shio was quite pleasantly surprised to see that for the first little bit, the 11th division shinigami was giving him some breathing room; he glanced behind himself only slightly, before turning his attention back towards Meilin. Even so, that momentary lapse of notice was enough; she was closing in, and her blade was heading straight for his shoulder. He entered a proper guard stance, his blade sliding upwards with that same queer flexibility, like he was slinging a wet noodle of some sort. Shio was...competent with his weapon, certainly. But the finer points of its forms were still something he had to focus a bit more on, and he wasn't quite prepared for the final snap it made, and the way that the metal pinged against Meilin's own weapon, only to slide off at a slight angle. Her attack had been deprived of most of its energy, but not quite enough. He was already in the process of twisting his body to the side, allowing her attack to bite into the bone of his shoulder. With any luck, it would glance off instead of leaving too thick a wound there...or with any luck she'd pull off on her attack.

"I told you going into this that my zanpakuto wasn't suited for close combat until it was released. Did you doubt me, Yorishou?"

He couldn't spare much more than this simple comment in the midst of their fight; certainly, Meilin was already pressing her advantage hard. Shio didn't want to admit to himself that this was probably preferable to him pressing his...but some part of him knew, deep down, that he was relieved he didn't have to take the lead in their encounter. Much better to let her set the pace, and try his best to keep up.

Yorishou grimaced, how to respond without insulting the other man was a challenge it was not his first time facing, nor would it be his last. "Suited for close combat" he spoke loudly over their interaction, waiting until the outcome of whatever the males block/slant was and then advancing around on the back of the female. "There is no skill needed when your sword is doing all the work for you" that was the closest he could get to inoffensive. The mans sword seemed to meld itself into whatever form was needed. Things like this required little weapon skill to use, if a real fighter wants to block, he has to actually block, strength v strength, speed v speed. If this guy wants to block, his sword just makes a wall, where is the fun, the effort needed for improvement, in that.

He stepped over behind the female, doing his sword swing again and on going under his left arm, his sword slashed out at her back, his arm swinging wide. His position meant that his arrogance left a large gap in his front now, until his sword would swing back down to his front, his left arm crossing over his chest and his sword coming back down, horizontally right to left. Whether this hit or now, his blade would fall backwards into a different grip, meaning his sword would now be held by his right hand, on his left side at shoulder height, horizontally level with his forearm.

Shio managed to deflect her blade some, but not quite enough as it still managed to scratch him, though she wasn't sure how bad the damage was. To be honest, she had taken a big gamble with this move, this was the first time she had ever let one of them out of her sights since the start of this fight. Though it was too late to take back that decision. She followed through with her initial attack stepping forward with her right foot she went to begin her next move. Then she felt the sharp slash across her back.

With a sharp intake of breath from the pain she quickly stepped about 15m away from the men with a shunpo. Her back was stinging now from the wound, damn she shouldn't have taken her eyes off Yorishou. She thought she had enough time to evaluate Shio properly before he got her. Guess she wasn't quite that quick on her feet yet. Still some way to go before she caught up to Tatsuya-senpai.

"Right then."

Both her blades began to glow an ocean blue as her reiatsu built up and shrouded around her as well. "I think warm up is over." She slashed both her blades at the other shinigami releasing diagonal slash attacks equal to that of tier III. One towards Yorishou on her left and the other aimed at Shio on her right.

Meilin was getting serious, it seemed. Her latest blow had left his shoulder stinging and blood flowing out...not quite freely, not quickly enough to be an immediate concern to his health, but freely enough that he was a little surprised at how vicious she had been. He wasn't angry of course; it was natural that a combatant would get that direct in terms of fighting. That she'd start trying to press the advantage. But this time he could see she was off-guard, and he could see a series of bloody futures, many of which all came back to one same conclusion. When Lethia spoke, Shio hardly even needed to hear her words before he was already in motion, clamping his lips around the wick of his candle once more.

You can save her, child.

Shio's blade was surrounded by a faint white corona, ever so slightly visible as it melded and morphed shapes once more, this time into an rather unorthodox Axe, one that seemed well suited to dealing with enemies at a distance, but near useless at dealing with them up close. The hilt was still in his hand, but the blade seemed to have melded and morphed around Meilin, leaving it stuck between her and Yorishou; with a single sharp yank, Shio would've done everything in his power to tug her towards him, his other hand already raised upwards to grasp her around the waist and spin her to face the newcomer, the opponent who yet again would've tried to attack an unsuspecting opponent. He murmured softly, words slightly garbled by the wick between his teeth.

"Us Noble Guards have to stick together if we want to beat a barbarian like this. I'm not proposing a truce, but...a pretty woman shouldn't soil her appearance with scars on her back."

It was only after a second or two of close contact, of Shio's sweet-smelling aura surrounding Meilin, of his hand on her waist, that he glanced down, realizing as if for the first time how close they were, and then clearing his throat, only to disappear in a swift swooshing motion, reappearing just by a wall, his face bright red now.

"Please don't hate me, Meilin. I didn't expect...that to happen."

His sword clanged off of the bendy axe that appeared before him. His arm shaking from the recoil and his neck cracking while he backed away, stretching his neck from side to side. The man seemed to have protected his fellow division member, for what reason in the middle of a fight someone protected the other he was not sure. All this told him is what he already knew, 1st divisions are wimps. It seemed they could not protect themselves, the female always protecting the male and vice versa. How either of them was ever going to get better if they just coddle eachother was beyond him. "I could tolerate you using this zanpakutou control ability, however if you are going to work against me, or get scared every time the other will take a hit, maybe its time I remove the choice of safety for you." His voice was borderline arrogant, but solid and sure in his words, promising both hope and despair, pain and comfort. Whatever that means.

"I stand as a rock in the wake of the mountain, Valkyrie." the smell of new book rushed across the training grounds, sand bucking around him but none settling on him. At this point, the male would be whimpering by the wall about how sorry he was. Rushing towards him with a mixture of stepping and x2 speed running, he would get a meter away, step to the males left, punching him into the wall with x2 strength, then back to the front, swinging his blade, but before it hit he would step to the right, cracked the male into the wall again with a x2 strength and speed roundhouse kick. His leg took the impact, bouncing off and following round, still raised and ready to block or attack the female should she approach. If she did then he would step away to her left, lowering his leg and tilting his head so he was looking at them from the corner of his eye. "Are you sure this is how you want the fight?"

As the wax moved around behind her, Meilin held back her attack and kept watch out of the corner of her eye, not trusting that damned thing. To her surprise she turned to see that the other shinigami had been protecting her. She'd let her guard down, though she wasn't going to complain about the save even if it was unnecessary. Though his actions had distracted, having her fail to notice as he reached out and grabbed her around waist to fully turn her.

"Hey! What are you-" She was cut off as they suddenly went backwards. Ok she was having enough of this guy. Meilin reared back with right elbow aimed towards his ribs with enough force to do potential bruising should she get a clean hit.

And you? A Noble Guard?" Was he confusing her title and position with their role as shinigami? She would have laughed, if it weren't for the sudden release of reiatsu from Yorishou. Tch, she got caught up with one and other released as well. These boys were obviously dropping family jewels today. It was only then she realized the unwanted hand was gone. Finally, she didn't want to be caught up between the measuring contest.

She used a quick shunpo to move out of the way allowing Yorishou to attack Shio however he saw fit. Well since they were all busting out tricks, she supposed she'd show one of her own. She was about ten meters away when she literally started to use her blades like metal whips that sliced everything in their path. Again and again she lashed out at both the male figures.

Shio was focusing more on Meilin than Yorishou, too concerned with her reaction and the mere possibility he'd committed some faux pas without realizing it. All the same, the sound of shunpo was quite distinctive, and if he was any judge this guy was moving at least as fast as Meilin...yet still nowhere near fast enough to catch the shinigami off-guard. Sparring match or not, Shio hadn't put himself on the line like that just to get clocked into next week by a mere punch. With one hand he gently snuffed out the wick of his zanpakuto once more, flicking his wrist carefully in a measured motion. A thick glob of wax, nearly a foot across and five or six tall, appeared in the moment just before Yorishou would've punched him. A single blow would've confirmed the stuff was as hard as steel, thick enough that it'd take a lot more than a stray blow or two to destroy. Even as Yorishou ducked around it, prepared to swing with his sword, he would've seen Shio hopping from wall to wall, leaping off of the dojo's wall to land atop his own waxy construct. He stared down at Yorishou, his smile still calm and polite.

"Remind me, is this still a swordfight? I count four attempts to punch and kick now. I'm happy to play by your rules, if you simply do the same."

He turned back towards Meilin, spotting her hands moving in a frantic, sharp whipping motion. Her own blades seemed to be altering as well, but in a much more...rudimentary way. It seemed that her own power, while it could emulate his, wasn't quite as versatile. The shinigami snuffed the wick on his blade once more, this time watching it transform into a dozen small, rounded metallic dicks. He plucked one up with an expert motion, tossing it out towards her blade and knocking it aside, so the metal dug a sharp furrow into the ground next to him, rather than actually striking his flesh. Each blade strike was met with another careful, measured flick of the wrist, and those odd rings seemed to hit their mark each time, diverting the force of her blows.

"See? She gets it."

Name: Candle Wall

Class: Zanpakuto Spirit

Tier: IV

Type: Defensive

Range: 10 Yards

Description: By flicking his zanpakuto at the same time he snuffs out the wick, Shio is able to cause a sizable portion of wax to land in front of him, which rises almost immediately into the shape of a doorway. This allows him to effectively block enemy attacks, taking roughly the same time it would to fire a Cero. The candle creates effectively limitless wax, allowing him to use this technique as many times as he deems necessary while released within coodown limits. The walls last for a maximum of 2 posts, and cooldown for 4.

Name: Metamorphosis

Class: Zanpakuto Spirit

Tier: III

Type: Supplementary

Range: Self

Description: By snuffing out the wick atop his shikai, Shio is capable of allowing his shikai to lose its rigidity, becoming as malleable as the wax it's made of. While in this form he can remold and forge the zanpakuto, allowing it to take on whatever new weapon form he prefers.
