THe man of her dreams

"My status? Heh." He huffed slowly. "To me, y'ain't more or less than me." Position. Status, all things he didn't give a fuck about. In his eyes, he was as much worth as any unranked squad member. As far as the substitute shinigami was concerned, he wasn't greater or more important than anyone. "Probably," he said in agreement upon Amaori's sentiment. It was a possibility that she was there for reasons of cultural. Or even political manners. Stuff that went above his head and stuff he didn't really care about. 

He shook the teacher's hand, glancing towards his squadmate. Her thoughts were unknown to him. Naturally. But, he wondered just what she was thinking. She was one of those people that barely betrayed their thoughts or motives. He tried to keep the people in his squad close to him. Trying to know them. Try to befriend them. They were brothers, and sisters, in arms. But the small woman standing next to him right now? He knew barely anything about her. Then again, this wasn't just a friendly trip to get to know eachother, no, this was work. Not difficult work, nothing that would have either one risk their lives. But still, work.

The belt around his waist loosened as he stepped forward, the tip of the needlessly large zanpakutou sliding into the ground and standing there. Hebikiba would still be taller than Amaori, or Lisa for that matter. He started with loosening the straps of the steel armour that clad his left arm. The heavy metal clunking against the floor, followed by the metal gauntlet. Revealing his bandaged left arm. His left shoulder unclad, the Shihakushō being slightly adapted. Only having one sleeve to cover his right arm. His left arm and part of his left thorax only covered by bandages. He knew the girl from somewhere. Seen her before. He shrugged it off. "Ready," he replied in response. It wasn't like this girl would be even able to scratch him, despite Kidou, despite she being armed and Raiden having just completely disarmed himself. It was impossible for her to put a scratch on him. But, he was told to assist in sparring and so he would. Though, playing purely on the defenses with some easy Judo strikes. He wasn't going to beat the shit out of an academy student that could barely hold a sword.

The teacher smiled as he watched lisa get into position, and watched as her opponent disarmed himself. Lisa wasn’t the best fighter, but of all his students she was the most likely to find a way past a enemies weak spot. Its why he chose her to fight against raiden today. It why he chose her to demonstrate how to fight smart. As the other girl leaned in to speak to him he would nod. “She isn’t the best at sword play, or even hand to hand. But what she has above the others ia a different way of thinking. Follow her eyes and you can almost see her thought process.” He would whisper to her as they sat down to watch.

Lisa watched her opponents body. She was a lot smaller then him, and a lot younger. But she couldn’t help but notice his beautiful face for a moment. She smiled to herself as she noticed his delicate beautiful features. But soon she refocused and looked around. She noticed he had left his weapons and armor alone and on the ground next to him. As she waited for the fight to start she positioned herself so that the mans gauntlet was behind him and his sword in front of him. She knew her kidou was good for an academy student. But she was fighting someone leagues above her own status.

She readied herself as the teacher yelled begin. Using her position, Lisa would step back, putting as much distance between herself and her opponent as the arena would allow. This was the crustial moment. Testing the opponent and finding their weak points. she started by using a few basic kidou in an un orthodox way. She stringed them together and with some effort she managed to cast all three together. “Pierce through the enemy and Draw them to me sp that they may Begone from me!” it was awkward roughly put together, but it would work.

She would hold up both hands and out of one a blast of fiary energy would shoot out and slam against the enemy like a shotgun blast as she tugged on the opponents gauntlet, pulling it into th back of the opponents knee. From there she would push out with her free hand and use the push kidou to try to knock them in the chest while their knee was hit by the gauntlet. If her move worked she would take the opponents distraction and rush forward as they fell back. She would draw close to his sword, only to back off from the energy coming off of it. It nearly made her pass out as she barely stayed standing. What was that? What had she just felt?

It was in that moment that she caught a glimpse of something in her mind. It was like a massive star scape and she shook her head clearing the strange image from her head. She got ready to defend. And hoped she had managed to do at least some damage.

He arched an eyebrow as he stood ready for the student, he had halfly expected another ploy that would prove cunning and well thought out. Yet, it'd be meaningless. It would quite literally bump and ricochet off of him. No, instead, the child sat down on her knees. Some unspoken form of submission, admitting her defeat. He nodded slowly as the teacher stated the match had ended. He slightly pitied the smaller girl. Ofcourse, he was more powerful, yet, she hadn't recieved the chance to prove herself in terms of physical prowess. This would've proven for valuable and unique training. Even though Raiden was far ahead of her, it didn't take anything but guts to impress him. He bowed his head respectfully to Lisa and turned around, picking up his armour and walking over to his sword, strapping the steel back around his arm.

He pulled the large blade on his back again, the belt fasting on its own. He approached the pair, teacher and student. "A pity I couldn't see ya in action, though." He said thoughtfully after Lisa made her conclusion. "'N sometimes, there ain't even a chance to sit down. It won't be that easy." He said, with a gentle smile. "Ya can avoid a blow, yet, evadin' alone won't beat yer foe. Sometimes, even when y'ain't got a chance, you gotta start strikin'." He rubbed the back of his neck. "But, yeah. I shouldn' try bein' a man o' great wisdom 'ere 'n lecture ya. I ain't half smart enough to be doin' that." He smirked slightly.

Lisa blushed badly as the girl spoke to her. She had said a lot of things but the last thing about hesitating about love made lisa blush like a mad man. Soon the class would be empty, and it would be just her and Raiden. If he went to leave she would follow him. “Wait!” She ran up to him. “um….” She looked down before back up at him. She had never asked this of someone before. “Can you…Take me to the human world with you? I want to Hunt Hollows with you.” She said. She tried to look determined, with her young face and delicate features it was hard. But if He could do it, she could do it too. As she looked at him, her zanpakuto at her side. She actually looked like a proper Shinigami, dispite the academy colors she wore.

“Please, I want to learn how you did, out there in the field. Ill stay out of your way. I promise.” She said with a smile at Raiden, Hopefully her cute look would get her her way. It tended to work on others even those who wouldn’t normally find her cute. She battered her puppy dog eyes just to be sure.
