His calm, serene demeanor was back in full swing now, little sign that he was exhausted or even that tired, except perhaps from the faint sheen of sweat that crept over his forehead. His breathing was...not easy, but certainly not as hard as one would've thought from this level of exertion. He watched Meilin patiently, then rose a hand to the ceiling, screwing up his eyes and speaking slowly. This time there was none of the previous sense of knowledge or confidence about it, no sense that he knew what he was doing.
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!
He could feel his own mind clearing as the words entered his head, could feel them unfurling into the world at large, building tension and power. It was rather like creating a thunderstorm, like holding it back with a leash made of dental floss. He knew this power would disintegrate him if given half a chance, but he'd picked his target, and he'd spoken the words. They had left their impact on the world, had etched themselves into the fabric of reality, and now it was just a matter of giving it the last little nudge it needed. He gestured towards Meilin, and from above a large red circle could be seen forming. It shot down...and stopped perhaps half a foot above her head, dispersing into red petals.
"...Huh. Normally it'd go all the way down and hold you there. I must've pronounced it wrong. That was Bakudo #9, Geki. It's a useful one if you need to slow someone down. As for your question...is it really any different from learning to throw a punch, or swing a sword? You get taught the perfect technique. The way you grip your handle, the stance of your legs, the balance of weight. You spend five, ten years having the fundamentals drilled into your head, to make sure you can perform the perfect textbook blow. After that you learn none of that stuff is necessary. But you never could've figured out how to vary on the classics if you don't know the classics. The incantation helps you focus. Improves the power. But there's nothing stopping you from forgoing it, once you know the kido well enough."
Shio stopped, his eyes crossing ever so slightly, his hands twitching and shivering as he realized what he'd just said. Had he just compared kido to a sword? To a shinigami who clearly prided themselves on swordsmanship? After he'd just gone all out against her?

Once more the male shinigami started reciting an incantation. Not trusting to not just fire at her without warning again, Meilin kept herself on guard, her eyes darting around quickly as they searched for any signs of the kido he was using. Soon enough she found the red light glowing above her head. She knew he would've came at her. Not that she cared. She made to move away from where she was, quickly moving towards Shio, though she wasn't quite sure what kind other kind of Kido he had, so this wasn't the safest move, but it was the best if she wanted to make progress.
She couldn't keep stepping back and watching. She knew one move so far, and it had a short range. He had array of weapons to choose from, and only God knew what the ranges or effects of those spells were. Her staying back pretty much gave him a much higher advantage. Though it would seem to be that if she hadn't move she would've been fine. Oh well, better safe than sorry she always said.
"So, there's a few that you haven't quite grasped yet, huh?"
Meilin slowed her approach towards Shio at her current location she was basically right in front of him, her hand poised and ready to strike or defend if need be. "Well I think that faulty kido, or whatever mistake you made was a sign we should slow down and probably learn some incantations first, before we go all out. Not that I'm not enjoying this." She blew a lock of hair out of her face and waited for his answer.
Overwhelming Power: This buff is an incomplete cap left on the compression of power, causing for explosive torrents of reiatsu to surge around the user. This form of ability causes reiatsu sensing abilities to scramble when in the presence of the user, and also gives their overall speed and strength a 2x boost [not affecting steps]. The primary perk of this form is that it allows the user to practically use their overflowing reiryoku as a weapon. Most commonly found as waves of energy with the swing or focus of the Shikai of varying power, along with an increase in pressure by 50%.
"That one was for your benefit. I've never spent much time worrying about the actual binding purposes of bakudo. It's just not something I felt especially relevant. If my enemy wants to escape, I don't have much interest in forcing them to stay. But Bakudo also makes a useful method of protecting one's self, of buying that little bit of breathing space you need." He began to scratch at his cheek, inhaling once more. He couldn't deny that he still had a lot to learn, especially because he was already trying to get back on Meilin's good side. He wanted to tell her just how incompetent he was in the grand scheme of things, that he wasn't someone worth looking up to or praising. But he knew it'd fall on deaf ears, at this point. Meilin had already made up her mind.
"The incantations help, at first. But it's mostly about the way the kido makes you feel. There's a certain...state of being. A sort of zen. You feel it, once you start to get better. The incantation makes it easier, and seems to make it stronger, but the kido doesn't require much more than a simple decision. It's hard to explain, but it's like...a muscle. One you didn't realize existed. Once you know how to flex it, it doesn't really get any harder over time."
Shio shrugged once more, raising his hand to the sky and murmuring the words to himself again. He felt like he had been so close, like he had -almost- figured out how to cast the bakudo. Whatever had tripped him up was small, so incredibly small...and yet until he figured it out, he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to cast even that simple bakudo properly.

For her benefit huh? Meilin quirked a brow at him and turned around with a stretch of her arms she rolled her shoulders. "If you say so."
Darn, he'd given her a bit of a work out, she felt pretty limber and loose now. Not bad for kido she guessed. She started walking towards the door with the clear intentions of leaving. "I see, I see, I get what you're saying Shio."
He had compared swordsmanship to Kidou, but that didn't bother Meilin in the slightlest, the sword was just another weapon for her to use. Though she did cherish her zanpakuto. "So with that being said, I vote, we call it a day, I'll go home and read up on a few of these incantations and see if I can't learn a few spells and then we pick up where we left off next time."
She was half way across the room by now glancing over her shoulder to look at Shio to see what he was thinking. To be honest, if she did come back and he was adamant about not helping her then she would simply continue her practices on her own or with Akane-sama. Though she had really wanted the sudden proficiency in kidou to be a surprise to Tatsuya-senpai and Akane-sama.

Shio moved at a deceptively quick pace, shunpoing in front of Meilin and raising a hand, his expression once more stormy as he thrust a palm towards her. Again a dark red arrow of reaitsu was forming in his palm, thrust towards her in a jerk of motion. The shinigami circled around behind her, his weapon gripped lightly in his spare hand. He spoke once more, as the flaming arrow he had formed exploded outwards, another deafening crash of heat and sound quite visible. He let it continue for a second or two without fading, then finally exhaled in a slow, careful tone.
"The lesson's not done yet, Meilin. Did you forget my condition? You leave when dismissed. Up to now, I've been going easy on you, and you've been going easy on me. Now it's time I show you what you've been missing out on up to now. Get your blade, and don't complain if you end up getting burned. This time, it's just you and me." Shio's hand rose slowly, sliding across the length of his blade, allowing it to transform into a one-handed blade, a crescent shaped weapon that looked well-suited to remove limbs. He began to swing it experimentally a few times, then looked up at the roof.
"You should be properly warmed up now. So am I. Now it's time you get some idea of how to -really- use kido. Yorishou and you might look down on it, but you'd be surprised how even some small applications of kido can turn a fight completely in your favor." He swung his blade around slowly, carefully, around his back before snatching it up with his other hand and holding it just over his head at an angle. By now, the wick of his shikai was resting just under one foot, ready to be snuffed out with a simple stomp.
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.

Incantation: Ye Lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! The scorched Earth bears the mark of your bane. The demon waits at the end of the twisted halls of pandemonium, eyes filled with furor, in the torrents of Hell!
Description: Fires a screeching arrow-tip shaped blast of crimson flames. The speed is that of a Cero, and leaves a scorching trail in its path. Due to its shape, it may pierce through its target at equal advantages before exploding

SHe came to a sudden stop as the male shinigami appeared in front of her with a shunpo. What was he doing? His hand was in her face as soon as he exited the step, a dark red reiatsu beginning to build in his hand. She recognized it and she wasn't about to just let him get away with doing his crap again. She threw up a quick guard against his technique. While she knew it wasn't strong enough to block it completely, it was fast enough that even though he fired at point blank she could still lessen the force of the blow.
The water that covered her body disappeared fast the kido washed over her. She didn't move though once it was all over, she stood there with slightly singed hair and her clothing somewhat abash. Shio was still talking, as if he was some sensei in a manga giving some insightful and inspirational speech. Both her hands moved to grip her zanpakuto as the man peered at the ceiling and she drew her blades.
"Now, who said anything about looking down on Kidou, I said I didn't like the generic techniques." She spoke up now, though it was clear that there was something different about her this time. Her voice had the slightest hint of anger in it. " As for your silly rule..." Her reiatsu flared as the oter shinigami released. The feel of it akin to that of the sea in an intense storm. Threatening to swallow up and drown any who weren't strong enough to withstand it at it's full force. "Since you want to drop the kid gloves, lets." Her reiatsu came under control all at once, the place becoming eerily quiet as snow began to fall in the room. "Just don't blame me if you die in the process." She disappeared into a step and exited behind Shio, striking with her left from his right shoulder and down to the left across his back.

Name: Hail, Snow Class: Reiryoku Technique Tier: III Type: Binding Range: 50m diameter Description: The user causes it to snow around a 50m diameter. The snow being infused with the reiatsu of the user will cause anyone deemed a target that comes in contact with it to double in weight with each flake that touches them. The flakes cannot be removed by physical means. The tech has a duration of 7 posts.
Duration: 7/7 posts
Name: Water Cover Class: Reiryoku Technique Tier: III Type: Defensive Range: Self Description: The user surrounds herself entirely with water which blocks any physical attacks or other techniques at equal or lower advantages. Forms at half bala speed.

Shio had expected her to set up her defense, but this new attack of hers had come somewhat as a surprise. Snow was filling within the training grounds, as if it had just become a busy winter day. It hadn't quite reached the point of a blizzard yet, but Shio could tell this much whiteness would hinder mobility at least a bit. And vision? Forget it; there was no tracking fine movement in a snowstorm. But luckily, Shio was ready for something like this. He closed his eyes slightly, placing one hand atop his zanpakuto. Almost immediately, the candle wick began to billow forth thick, noxious clouds of smoke. The smell was oddly pleasant, despite being overpowering. It smelled ever so slightly of lavender, a sweet and soothing scent that made the nostrils twitch.
He was nearly invisible in the thick, warm confines of his shikai's smoke, but he knew that he was already on the defensive. He wasn't sure where she planned to attack from or what she planned to do, so he simply crouched down slightly...and since when had he been so heavy? So slow? Something about this snow was off, was making it hard to stand or move about properly. He felt like he was trying to crouch down with limbs that were already half-frozen, and it showed. He had only ducked about halfway when he felt a sharp stinging sensation on his back, a feeling that he knew meant he had just been struck. But his smoke had turned what otherwise may have been a fatal blow into a mere annoyance, something that bled freely enough to be distracting. With his free hand he rose his zanpakuto, bracing the hilt against the ground and placing the top over his shoulder. Meilin had two blades, after all...and who with two blades would settle for one attack?
The golden display of his familiar shielding kido appeared yet again, blocking her second strike ably, shimmering ever so slightly in the hazy air before disappearing in a burst of golden light. Shio swallowed back his scream of pain, waddling forward on his knees slightly. He still felt incredibly heavy, but he managed to move at least a couple feet, before turning to face her. He knew she'd have recognized the feeling of striking at least once, but the second one? Would she have any idea that he'd decided to make himself a smaller target? Did she have any idea where he'd chosen to move in the smokescreen? This time, he'd been quite careful not to let himself be heard as he moved forward. It had been a slow job, but he was fairly confident she'd be hard-pressed to find him and continue her assault.
Description: Summons a large, circular shield of condensed reiatsu to block opponents' attacks. The user's Zanpakutō is used as the central focus of the shield. An Advanced or Mastered user can bypass this flaw and use it on any part of their body.
Unincanted, acts as a tier 1.
Name: Smokescreen
Class: Zanpakuto Spirit
Tier: IV
Type: Supplementary
Range: 100 yards
Description: With a sizable exertion of will, Shio is able to make the flame atop his shikai burn even brighter, serving as a useful lantern in the dark. It also begins to give off a sizable amount of smoke during this time, obscuring the vision of everyone in the area. Shio's vision is mildly less impaired, as the candle atop his shikai serves to more effectively notice enemies nearby. Anyone in the smoke not only has their sight severely limited, but also cannot sense reiatsu while inside of it if their reiatsu control is lower than Shio's. Duration 3 posts 6 post cooldown.

She felt as her sword struck flesh and she continued her slash though soon enough her zanpakuto rebounded off something. She couldn't quite tell what it was due to the sudden smoke around the area, though soon enough the telltale golden light gave her the answer she sought.
Him and that bloody kidou, she thought to herself.
She took a step forward and from what she could tell with her physical senses Shio was no longer directly in front of her. Where did he run off to, she didn't hear him step. So he sneaked off after her attack. Tch. He was the one that started this fight, at least fight her up front.
Once more her reiatsu flared slightly as it surrounded the area for one hundred meters all around . Her reiatsu soon created a sound wave that only she could hear, mapping out the grounds in her mind. Shio could take away her eyes, but he could never truly take her vision. She smiled as everything appeared in her mind, she saw the shinigami crouched down low a few feet in front of her approaching slowly.
Found you. The thought ran through her mind as her right hand swung upward with her sword pointing in Shio's direction. A water blade went flying at the shinigami at cero speed. The lack of visibility would play against him here, though Meilin wouldn't put it past him to maybe find a way out of this as she kept herself on guard.

Name: Sonar Class: Reiryoku Technique Tier: Tier III Type: Supplementary Range: 100m diameter Description: The user sends out a sound wave made of reiatsu at a very high pitch that only the user can hear. The sound wave is invisible and is used to act like a sonar, or closer yet a dolphin's echolocation ability. The sound wave maps out everything in a 100m diameter around the user and she can see everything perfectly as it's happening in her mind. Though this does not give her the ability to dodge everything, only what she is capable of dodging. Has a 7 post duration.
Duration: 7/7 posts
Name: River Head Class: Zan Spirit: Average Tier: I-IV (TIV) Type: Offensive/Defensive Range: 100m Description: The user can send out large waves of water from the zanpakuto and these waves of water can be controlled and manipulated mentally. Whether solidifying them or or freezing them or what not. It can be used as defence or offence and moves at the max speed allowed by the tier used. CD applies as stated by tech guide.
Shio's vision was impaired, much like Meilin's. But his own candle-light was there to aid his presence, doused a mere foot from him...and yet shedding light nearly twenty in all directions. He could see Meilin's shadowy figure weaving her blades about, clearly preparing herself for something big. To be honest, Shio wasn't sure if his kido alone was going to be enough for much longer. He had no idea if he could beat her, but he knew that he'd already backed himself into a corner here. The very best he could hope for, the best case scenario...was that he would simply be done with her, that she'd walk off and forget he even existed. Perhaps spread his name among her circle of contacts for a time. But that would require her to leave of her own free will. It would require he drive her off, without outright telling her to leave.
He grasped his blade, snuffing out the wick and swinging it downwards, with a rather smooth practiced motion. A glob of wax, perhaps as big as his own torso, sloughed off from the top, landing on the ground only to slowly and carefully arise into a rather familiar doorway...not that Meilin would notice it in the darkness. He inhaled slowly, carefully, and kept his mind as blank as possible. This next trick would take some effort. Just as his hand finished on the downswing, he swapped the pommel of his zanpakuto to his off-hand, swinging it back upwards in an almost flicking motion, like he was gesturing towards something. As he did, still more wax shot off into the air, only to...disappear. At least, to his eyes and Meilin's. In this thick fog of smoke, there'd be no way to tell where they went, or where they were going. Shio was reasonably certain if he stood still he'd be fine, and safe behind his barrier...for now.
But he wasn't content to be safe. Not right now. He had to be done with this woman.
"Ye Lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man!"
The incantation started just as Meilin's attack landed, striking against his sizable barrier of wax. Perhaps she'd be able to break through it, or perhaps not. Shio was no longer sure he cared.
Description: By flicking his zanpakuto upwards at the same time he snuffs out the wick, Shio can create a sizable glob of wax that breaks up and solidifies in midair. After a post of setup, the globs begin to rain around him, striking nearby areas at random at half bala speeds. These globs are each as heavy as an equivalent amount of steel, making them deadly projectiles if they're capable of hitting his enemies. This ability has the downside that Shio can't predict or control where they land, meaning even he is at risk of being hit if he moves too far from his initial position. The candle creates effectively limitless wax, allowing him to use this technique as many times as he deems necessary while released within the cooldown limits. Cooldown 1 post.
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.
Shio is beginning the incantation for Onkyo Shakkaho, which will be completed next turn unless interrupted.

Shortly after he attack launched, she heard the slight sound of someone talking. She had a feeling it was Shio, but seeing as she already knew where he was she wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying. Though knowing him it was probably some sort of Kidou. Though she couldn't really see him, so he couldn't see her could he? Perhaps she was wrong, she did have her own way of "seeing" him, maybe he could find her as well.
She took the initiative and began moving almost immediately, that's when she noticed the many blips that were spread out in the area of the reiatsu she had sent out. Her eyes opened wide in surprise. Shio had managed to set a pretty decent trap for her while being cornered himself. Clearly she couldn't underestimate him especially this time around, hmm it seems they both still had a few tricks up their sleeves since their last fight. Though, Meilin had been using mostly sword skills then.
She dashed in Shio's direction, covering the distance quickly. As she came upon him she noticed the barrier had formed out of wax to protect himself rom her attack. She jumped and over the barrier, as she passed directly over Shio's head she spoke quickly her left index aimed at him. "Broiling black fervent heat, be rejected." The lightning fired and immediately after Meilin entered a step and exited behind Shio, her left sword thrusting forward aiming towards his lower back on his left side.

Sloppy. Everything about Meilin's technique was sloppy. Shio wanted to call her out on it, wanted to tell her that her attempt to get into melee with him and attack him was all-too predictable. But he was too busy already, too busy finishing the kido he had started. And here was Meilin, barreling towards him at high speeds, her own incantation beginning in the process. It seemed she'd learned the lesson about her Kido quite well, but it was time to teach her a new lesson. As she approached, his voice rose in pitch, growing almost into a fever pitch as it nearly broke.
"The scorched Earth bears the mark of your bane. The demon waits at the end of the twisted halls of pandemonium..."
His movements were slow, almost dreamlike...but he'd already planned out his counterattack before she'd even gotten into melee. She could tell where he was serviceable enough at a distance, but in melee, the advantage still lay with him. Meilin had gotten into his face, a smart move with anyone who was trying to use that particular kido. At melee, it was nearly impossible to dodge the kido itself, especially if you were distracted, or weren't prepared for it. But Shio was not only prepared, he'd been hoping for it. He leapt upwards, nearly two or three feet, clasping around the wrist of her enfolded hand, and shoving it off to the side, towards the floor just as she was finishing her incantation. Any proper kido went off exactly when it needed to, and not a second sooner. Leaving no room for openings was just common sense.
He began to shift his own weight ever so slightly, turning her jumping motion into a powerful throwing motion, towards the floor, in a near-textbook 180. It caused his voice to warble ever so slightly, but he'd already been prepared for it, and now he tossed her directly towards his own candle wall, his voice returning back to its proper pitch, just as he was speaking the last words of his kido.
"eyes filled with furor, in the torrents of Hell! Hado Number 48: Onkyō Shakkahō!"
He flung his hand forward, an enormous red arrow forming there, already covered in flames that were so bright, so painfully bright, that they almost seemed to dispel the smoke around them. He flung his hand outwards, well aware he was no more than a foot or two from the point of impact. That was perfectly fine. Let Meilin learn a little lesson on how practical kido application went, even if it'd cause him a bit of pain as well.
Even as this was happening, his own wax projectiles began to fall around them, being engulfed by the flames and smoke, turning the entire room into a hellish sight to anyone watching from outside.
From the flames, Shio's face burst forth, covered in soot and burns...and yet he was smiling. Gods help him, Shio was having fun teaching Meilin! Locking wits! But he couldn't afford to keep thinking that way. Not unless he intended to be on his guard permanently from now on. Shio had done that already. Done it more than long enough. He couldn't do it again.
His hand slid out through the flames, charred and wounded, as he reached out to grab her by the throat. The kido -should've- broken his own candle wall from the sheer force, and now he had her at a a disadvantage. Being this close was a bit dangerous, but that was fine. Shio was ready.
"Who told you that a shinigami has to do nothing but incant, Meilin?"
Hand-to-hand action to deflect your kido before it arrives, 2 advantages effectively makes it miss. Shio then follows it up with a hand-to-hand vs hand-to-hand action at equal advantages to toss her back the way she came.

This guy really was full of surprises. Meilin was just about to fire her spell when Shio jumped up and grabbed her by the wrist in an attempt to shirk off her kido which worked as his sudden interference caused her aim to go wonky, the lightning flying off randomly to the left, crashing into the ground another plume of dust clouding the air, decreasing the already very small amount of visibility they had left to themselves, though the two had clearly left the usage of their eyesight behind a long time ago as the clashed.
Meilin felt Shio.s grip tighten on her wrist and she had a feeling she knew what was coming. She felt her body begin to move against her will as Shio went to throw her. She went flying quickly as he released her, though out of the corner of her eye she saw where she was heading, if only slightly. Her sonar was better helped her to perceive the wax wall that was in her path. Smoking that would be painful, and something she'd much rather avoid. She twisted herself as she flew through the air so that her feet would be the first thing to hit the wax barrier. Though when she did, she could tell it wasn't as sturdy as she's known most of his wax to be. This was probably how he managed to defend himself the first time.
She wasted no time, as Shio appeared in her face she bided her time waiting for him to launch the Kido before she jumped upwards with a step to dodge it. She was hoping that the light and noise from his kido would have been enough of distraction that he wouldn't have noticed her last minute escape. If he thought she was going to go down that easily he had another thing coming. She waited until what seemed to be him at his most vulnerable, while he was once again performing his monologue she commenced her decent along with his own falling projectiles hiding amongst them on her way down. As she came down behind him, her right sword would attempt to slash down from his shoulder to his back.

Meilin was fast. Shio hadn't even heard her shunpo, at least not as anything more than the faintest hint of background noise when he started his attack. And now here she was, coming directly after him in melee like this. Shio's zanpakuto still rested in his off-hand, its form little more than a fat block of hardened wax at this point. And she was no doubt coming from...well, there was really only one place. Beneath him was dirt and behind him was open air. Before him? What little was left of his wax. He inhaled slowly, swinging his blade around in a wide sweeping arc. His fingers were burnt nearly beyond recognition now as he whirled around, but as he whirled about, striking her blade with his, his free hand slipped out to clasp around the wick of his shikai, snuffing it out and causing the blade to run. The majority of impact from her attack had been stolen, but it was still enough to pierce his breast, to draw still more blood...but not nearly enough to end fatally. His own blade, however, was busily shifting into something that resembled a scythe. And this time Shio had no intention of harmlessly pulling her closer. As he grasped her hand with his own, yanking backwards with his weapon, prepared to slice into her spine as hard as possible, he felt his vision swim for just the faintest second. He'd taken at least a few serious hits, and one of them had been his own. Meilin was...well, for the most part she was unharmed.
Perhaps it was time to just admit that he wasn't as well-poised to fight someone like her as he believed. Perhaps it was time to just admit that he had gotten in over his head, and let her leave before this turned even worse. But some part of Shio, some long locked away part, sang in excitement at the notion of seeing this through. Of finally being able to try his all against someone, against anyone.
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.

She'd struck home as she had intended to, but she didn't go as deep as she wanted to. The shinigami had managed to divert her attack some, causing the wound she inflicted to be more shallow than she would have liked. She was positive one good blood letting would have him down for the count, but after seeing his gruesome hand, well the female wasn't so sure what it would take to stop him anymore. What she was really surprised about was when he turned his sword to a more malleable form. It would have no resistance against her strength in its current state, so why would he? That's when she remembered what he did with his zanpakutou in their last fight.
"Oh no you don't." She said as attempted to turn, But once again she felt his hand grasp her left wrist once more. "If you wanted to get closer, this really isn't the best way to go about it!" She didn't trust Shio, but seeing as she couldn't move and his zanpakutou was making its way behind her she threw her right arm over her shoulder, the blade expanding into something similar to a shield to guard the entirety of her back.
She felt as his blade struck against her defence, and hard too. She braced herself but a sharp pain from her right leg hit and caused her to slip forward, breaking her standing and making her fall to her knee. She glanced at her foot, noticing the burns on her leg. Apparently she hadn't fully dodged that last attack which was a problem, seeing as now she couldn't move as freely as she would usually. She gritted her teeth and tapped her fingers against the hilt of her left zanpakutou after she aimed the blade at Shio. It shot forward at him at bala speed as she attempted to impale him on her sword.

The blade itself does not become water, only behaves like it. The blade can only extend up to 15m. All this happens at bala speed and under Meilin's mental command.
"Of course you'd think this was just about getting close to you. I doubt a savage woman like you has ever been this close to a man without him being knocked out."
And there she went, her own blade transforming as if in mockery of his own. Why did her zanpakuto have to be so goddamn similar? There was nothing similar between them, nothing at all, so why did their fucking weapons have to be so similar? Why couldn't she have just had a boring simple zanpakuto? Why did she have to have one that kept making him think the same way he did? And she had two blades, at that. But that was just his perception, wasn't it? Shio could have two blades, if he truly wished; he could've easily, ever so easily shifted his weapon to emulate hers. He could've humiliated her, shown her just how -he- would've used her own weapon, how his own form and technique could've improved on hers. But where would be the purpose in that? What good was there in antagonizing others? Shio had done it without realizing for years, so why would he do it now, when he was fully aware of how it would end?
She was going in for another blow, hoping to strike him and draw yet more blood. But the shaft of his zanpakuto was still between him and her, and with a mere wince and a flexing of will, the familiar golden barrier formed between him and her, causing her blade to shatter it and forcing its extension to slow to an extent that Shio could easily sidestep. His foot rose, kicking at her wrist in a smooth, almost careful motion. Had it been anyone else, he likely would've stomped on the blade and damned the consequences. But he knew there was only one way that'd end, if someone did it to him. His best bet was to disarm her, and keep her too busy to respond to his next action.
"Ye Lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man."
As the words began to flow, Shio's hand once more grasped and snatched at the wick of his shikai, forcing it to take on the form of a rather simple shape...a bullwhip, little more than an extension of the alreadu present whip. But as he flicked it towards her throat and chin, hoping to grasp her and hold her in place, his expression was one of fierce concentration, his eyes wide and his free hand twitching ever so slightly. He wasn't going to lose here, not like this. He wasn't going to let Meilin walk out of here underestimating him. Let her hate him if she wanted; Shio had the feeling that she'd probably leave this place thinking ill of him no matter what he did. But at the very least, he could make sure it was for the right reasons.
"The scorched Earth bears the mark of your bane. The demon waits at the end of the twisted halls of pandemonium."
The assault didn't let up, one hand clenched by his side, ready to respond to whatever last-ditch attempt she made to respond. His whip flicked about wildly, prepared to beat her back into a corner, to cut off any avenue of escape this time. He'd make sure this time, she had no chance to run anywhere and escape.

So here are two people, not exactly releasing killing intent but unleashing the full power of their zanpakuto and going at each other. There may have been people watching, but just the spiritual pressures emitted from the two of them alone was enough to attract a certain person onto the scene.
Whose only reason for going towards and not away from it being her old habit from the time she used to be part of the Ninth Division. Meilin's sonar would surely detect the presence of this third person entering the scene. A sudden appearance through the speed of a flash step. Her left index finger wiggled through the air wildly as it completed a long string of words started before she arrived.
Lifting her left hand, she then brought it downwards without a word from her mouth.
No, the words were all written.
If the pair looked up, they would catch sight of a glowing rainbow pentagram falling down on them like a descending sun. It would not kill them nor was there any killing intent behind this Kidō, but it would suppress them and become a great weight to bear.
"I understand that the most effective enlightenment and thus the best training comes from battles. However, with the way you two are going, I'm just glad I no longer have the duty or authority to arrest the two of you for overdoing it."
For the first time, the girl spoke. Shorter and younger in appearance compared to both of them, but the force creating a burden over their bodies was a display of power clearly above theirs.
"Now, when I release this Kidō, I must ask the two of you to put away your Zanpakutō. Intense sparring isn't bad per se, but it doesn't look like either of you know how to hold back at the point things get lethal."
Actually, Ichika didn't really have to will her own spell to go away. It didn't last very long to begin with, and by the end of her sentence, it started to dissipate and lift from the two.
Name: 言霊翻訳 Kotodama Honyaku Class: Reiryoku Technique Type: Supplementary Range: Self Tier: I Description: Kotodama refers to the power of language. This is prevalent in a Shinigami's powers: The name of the Kidō holds power, and so do their incantations. A Zanpakutō's name and technique names also hold power. Honyaku means "translation", to change from one language to another. However, this ability translates the language from "vocal speaking" to "physical movement" (usually of the lips). The words themselves are the same, but they are not conveyed through the usual vocal medium, but physical motions. This is accomplished by shaping one's spiritual energy into words itself. By pulsing spiritual energy to one's lips, finger or even the foot or toes, the motion of that particular part can "move" the spiritual energy gathered to it, which is then shaped into the words required for anything which would otherwise involve speaking (Kidō incantations, names, release phrases, etc). The user can even switch mediums of "speaking" mid-incantation, but only one medium can be active at any time (e.g no moving the lips and writing at the same time). When this technique is active, words "spoken" this way will take an etheral, visible form in the color of the user's spiritual pressure. Drawback: This does not decrease the time taken to recite incantations. In some cases (such as using the foot), this may actually increase the time taken to "speak".

Now he was talking shit. Ok, who was this guy and what did he do with Shio?
"Well they can hardly call themselves a men if they can't even get that close to me. It's not my fault they go head over heels at first sight."
She was talking as she fought, which was unusual for the girl. She was usually silent during her fights. Though her ferocity and brutal attacks were still a factor if not more so. Something about Shio made her want to put everything she had into this. He'd been holding back the whole time ever since she first met him. Why was that?
Her teeth gritted as she watched him flex his kidou muscle once more, buying him a small window to dodge her incoming attack. Smart, but not quite there yet. Her blade became fluid once more, instantly changing direction towards Shio, once more it started to extend, aiming for his left flank as he attempted to kick her wrist and disarm her. She held her sword as she the kick coming, luckily she hadn't been moving nor actually using her arm at the time. Though his kick did throw her attempt at a second strike off, if it hit Shio at this point it would all be up to luck.
She then saw as he turned his zanpakutou into a whip. She brought her right blade in front of her. She formed into a large shield and used it to block the first five blows, before she tapped her hilt at the sixth, causing the blade to shatter. By now her left blade was back to normal and now being used for defence. as she had been using her right, though he did get a few hits in as she formed it from a blade to a shield. Her lip was bloody and her right shoulder would definitely have welts and bruises if not more.
As he finished chanting she threw up a water shield in front of her zanpakuto shield, at the same time the fifteen shattered pieces of her other blade moved quickly at bala speed to surround Shio and go in for the kill, but in that moment everything froze.
Meilin was confused what was going on. Then she noticed a new presence in the area, her eyes turned just catching a glimpse of the talking girl. Who was she? How could she stop her like this? So easily? Meilin was giving it everything she had. Though she quickly found her answer in the girl's explanation.
The girl kept her word, as Meilin felt the use of her body returning to her. The pieces of her blade that would have been floating all around Shio had they succeeded in trapping him would come back to their hilt where Meilin would sheathe both her swords.
"It was just a harmless practice session," she said as she wiped at her bloody lip. "Right Shio?"

She can either do this with on blade or both at the same time. The pieces move through the air at bala speed and are controlled mentally by Meilin until returned to their respective hilt.
Shio could see her attack coming, had expected it in fact...and his free foot began to pivot, leaving him going through a rather graceful pirouette to avoid the attack. His motion only added still more momentum to the blows from his whip, cracking against her shield. He had her on the defensive at least, even if she was already proving to be more formidable than he had expected. His chanting hadn't changed or stopped yet, and it was reaching a fever pitch, nearly done. She had her shield, but this time he'd shatter it. He'd find a way to undo her, to blast her so thoroughly she'd fly right out of this training area and never return, let him go back to his day off...his precious time to himself, to avoid all the unspoken expectations.
And suddenly, he was frozen in place. He couldn't do anything but flicker his eyes ever so slightly, but his mind was already racing, along with his heart. Someone else was here. Someone else had finally stepped in, had no doubt heard talk of their fight. What the fuck had he been thinking? Why had he let himself cut loose like this? What was he expecting? He knew he'd gotten so frustrated by Meilin's constant insistence that she needed him, needed his help, that only he would do no and no one else could...but hadn't he been flattered, too? Just a little bit? He didn't even move once the kido dissipated, his muscles all but locked in place and a look of purest hatred shifting across his face as he stared at Meilin. He didn't speak for ten or twenty seconds, simply inhaled through his nostrils, trying to think of anything at all he could say here that would end this before it began. Could he fess up and brush it off? Could he pin it all on Meilin? No. No, as much as he hated her, putting the onus on her was the sort of thing Shio had dealt with more than enough times. He couldn't wish that on her.
When in doubt, deny.
"I don't know what they told you. I don't know what you expected to see. I'm sorry to disappoint. I wouldn't know how to overdo it if I tried. Meilin asked me to help her with kido, but...there's not really much to say. Things got heated, and it turned violent. I apologize, but I really have no memory of what happened. It was just...too fast. My mind was working on autopilot."
Such a bigger pile of horseshit had never before been made, but Shio had every intent to stick with it. He was absolutely not going to let someone who could perform a kido of that level know what had transpired here.
She let them speak their words. She let them make their excuses. If she was in the situation she would have probably done something similar, with more emphasis on the apology.
"Actually, I didn't hear anything. Nobody told me anything, either. However, I did see what I expected to find."
That was right. She had deduced the entire situation going down by just one factor and one factor alone.
"Unless you consciously suppressed your spiritual pressure, anyone with their zanpakuto released starts emitting a lot of that. Now, you have me and I feel two really strong spiritual pressures clashing at each other. I may not know your spiritual pressures specifically..."
Ichika pointed at Shio's still-released sword.
"But you can't mistake that. Now, please seal your zanpakuto before the Ninth Division gets here."
Standing there, she would wait for him to comply before she moved on.
"Now, if you want to train Kido, I'd say it would be a better idea to, well, keep your swords sheathed while you cast your Kido around. I'm not much of an expert, but since I'm already here, I don't mind helping out with a Kido lesson, but please don't start killing each other again."
Was she good enough with Kido to help them? Yes. She expected them to turn the offer down, but as long as she can get them to calm down, everything should turn out okay.

Mentally she was face palming herself and kicking Shio where it really hurt. Who taught this kid how to lie? Obviously it wasn't whoever taught him how to fight. Not that she had really tried to lie herself, but at least she didn't go with I don't know what they told you. She glanced over at him to see him staring her down with some amount of malice still and she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What?" she muttered more to herself than to anyone else.
Her attention was then captured once more by the girl who had started to speak again. Meilin still couldn't believe that this girl had stopped her in her tracks, she was barely bigger than Akane-sama. Though it would be unwise to judge one's strength simply because of what they look like.
The new shinigami didn't seem to be trying to report them or get them in trouble at all. If anything, she was trying to help them out it seem. Even offering to take up teaching them both Kidou. She glanced at Shio again, hmm should she switch? She wasn't sure, she already knew Shio was capable enough for what she wanted done, though this woman was clearly stronger than them both. Though that didn't mean she particularly excelled in Kido, but why offer to teach if you didn't know a thing or two. Her eyes left SHio and went back to the girl, she wouldn't let him get off that easy. Especially after he'd finally shown her his true colours.
"Hmm, well if you take us both on as students I'd be glad to learn from you, um..." She trailed off as she realized she didn't know the woman's name.
Overwhelming Power: This buff is an incomplete cap left on the compression of power, causing for explosive torrents of reiatsu to surge around the user. This form of ability causes reiatsu sensing abilities to scramble when in the presence of the user, and also gives their overall speed and strength a 2x boost [not affecting steps]. The primary perk of this form is that it allows the user to practically use their overflowing reiryoku as a weapon. Most commonly found as waves of energy with the swing or focus of the Shikai of varying power, along with an increase in pressure by 50%.
