Solo training about Bakudo's and stuff.

The day had been rough for Tatsu, the weather didn't help at all the cooking heat and the lacking air of being on the top of the mountain, the samurai had been trying to get this ability off from the start but he just couldn't grasp it. It seem like blocking energy with mere Reiatsu was impossible, but he was sure there was a way. so he tried again. Building up his reiatsu was the easy part the blue aura appeared around him slowly but surely, he didn't have much of a reserve so it took a while to get the right amount, or so he thought it to be the right amount. And so it began, he began forming it in front of him, he could almost see it. It almost took the appearance of a circle in front of him, but it was way too thin as if he didn't use enough energy to master such a spell right away, of course he didn't know how to properly learn a bakudo on his own, it would have to be a trial and error process that might actually take a while, but he had the time. So he sat down, up to now he had always tried doing it one handed, so he decided to become serious and attempt doing something else, he unsheathed his zanpakuto and tried to build up his reiatsu within his zanpakuto, he really wanted to get this right, since it would help him survive those beam like abilities that hollow have a high tendency of throwing at him.

Not long after the yellow hue of energy started in front of him making a much better form than with his hand, but more importantly it looked thick and solid, almost like it could take a hit but something was off again and the spell vanished before long. Tatsu sad down and sat wondering what he was doing wrong. The spell was tough and strong, almost like he had almost mastered it but it didn't last long just as if it was too draining for his spiritual energy. So he tried again this time using less energy on a longer pattern, this time it lasted longer but something was odd, the yellow hue of energy turned white and tatsu didn't control the spell anymore, and without actually thinking about it he released it, and it ended up blowing up in his face. On his ass five meters away from the area where he tried to create his spell he felt the humiliation a rookie would have after failing such a spell within the academy, it reminded him bad memories, once again he was holding his zanpakuto one handed. A wee bit tired of these stupid things never working for him, so h stood up and took his zanpakuto two handed and he focused long building up a moderate amount of spiritual energy all in front of him, not just focusing on his weapon this time. He uttered to himself ''This better work, else I'm giving up'' The yellow form of energy formed in front of him making a perfect shield that covered most of his body he held it like that for about ten seconds then it slowly vanished like nothing had happened, leaving Tatsu half tired. There was something Kaiyo did differently from him from when she showed him this spell to protect him from her own bankai in that training field that day. In his memories she actually used both of her hands, not her zanpakuto, Tatsu didn't think it would actually change something.

He would do like his previous captain did when she had to protect him, Tatsu re-sheathed his zanpakuto and put his hands in front of him once more. ''Maybe if I say its name, I'll look stupid...but I'm alone here..right..can't hurt my pride that much...''

Putting both of his hands in front of him the shinigami uttered a word really hard, probably just as hard as his hope for this to work was he closed his eyes in fear that it would blow up in his face again.''Enkōsen!!!!!''
He remained there for a while, when he felt no pain he opened his eyes, to notice that the shield had been there for just as long as he spoke the word, which means he had succeeded in his mission that he gave to himself. ''Yes!'' he said to himself. Stopping the spell of his own free will, he tried it again, to check if it wasn't just a shot of luck. ''Enkōsen'' he said more calmly this time, he saw the yellow shield form in front of him, this time with a better shape and a larger shape, it was even easier to uphold, he might even be able to use this in battle, for a starter to a series of spell he wanted to learn, this was one of the hardest to start with,to start with. He was proud to overcome his weakness with kido.

Enkōsen (円閘扇, Round Lock Fan) Summons a shield of condensed reiatsu to block opponents' attacks.[23]

Bakudo Number 26 Kyokko

It was a fair day to begin with and Tatsu had been trying out this spell for quite a while now. It was something he knew alot of people used and he took it to heart to learn it on his own. It was a spell actually that high in the list but it was a catchy thing to learn. One had to grasp the visual light around them and bend it to their will to erase their spiriual pressence and visual pressence. The spell was called Kyokko and had no incantation, just needed alot of practise.

Focusing his mind on the task Tatsu began, proceeding to focus on his meger spiritual pressure, he didn’t have alot to begin with and his control over it wasn’t the best, but it was leaving him enough ground to actually work with something and that was all he needed. He began to focus his spiritual energy and at first it felt like he was doing everything perfectly wrong, his spiritual presence flared up in the air and he even seemed to get the spell effect wrong, noticing this he stopped.

He tried it again, this time trying to take his energy inwards, focusing it on his person more than the area around him. His energy slowly began to fade but not quite to the level he desired. It almost worked but something was off he was clearly still visible. Maybe focusing it around him wasn’t enough, focusing the energy from within, to the minimum would work.

So he started focusing his energy, restraining it from his area at first, then only to himself second, the tricky part was getting passed that, because restraining one’s energy further than around himself seemed easy to say but was something the shinigami wasn’t used to doing. He focused more and more and the energy began fading along with his own body, he thought for a moment it was working, he felt almost exhausted but he did it again, trying this for multiple hours in a row had to make anyone tired. He tried again and spoke the spells name. ‘’Bakudo No 26: Kyokko!’’ And before he knew it, he had completly vanished from sight and from any sensors. He was proud.

Bakudo 30: Shitosu Sansen

The day had begun early for the samurai, this day he had decided he would learn a new spell, one that he knew would be stronger and would help him in many duels to come. The spell revoved around making a perfect triangle of energy and generally tossing it in somebody’s face to make them restrained to anything the triangle touched after them, saying it light that actually sounded quite simple.

But looking at how exhausted the shinigami was already after a simply short hour of training, it wasn’t anywhere simple. Just making the triangle of energy and holding it in front of him was something complicated, making each and every side of the form was complicated as it was, so he started with that part. He pointed a single finger out and attempted drawing out the form, he didn’t know what did not work well, but the form didn’t stay behind his finger, he traced it rather slowly to make sure it would look like a proper triangle.

Other people were practicing the very same spell to his left and right. He looked at them for a moment, to see how they were doing it differently, their fingers didn’t seem to bother for the shape of the triangle, and in fact they were doing it alot faster than he was, which might be it, if you do it fast, the energy might self sustain because it is relied to all of its side.

Giving the spell another try. He would quickly process a quick triangle in front of him, its form corrected itself which made Tatsu frown at his loss of efforts. Now that he thought the hard part was done, he tried to propel it forward using his spiritual energy, but it faded and vanished before he could actually attempt to do anything, he had waited too much time to actually launch it he thought. Gathering most of his left over energy he proceeded to trace another triangle in front of him, without much effort this time because he actually knew how to create the triangle. The triangle was there and he pronounced the spells name, noticing that it helped in the past to actually make the spell work. ‘’Shitosu Sansen’’ and he pushed it forward correctly restraining the dummy that was asking for none of this punishment.

Bakudo No 37 Tsuriboshi

Another fine day in the week of the training shinigami. By then he only did this because he had nothing to do and this was one of the best Bakudo’s he could learn with his current skills.
This spell was aimed towards stopping falls with a cushion of spiritual energy. He had a general idea how to make such a cushion with his spiritual energy but he didn’t know the specifics of how to learn such a spell, and so he moved towards the fields and began practising in such a lovely day.

Without further ado he proceeded to launch his spiritual energy in front of him while trying to utter the spell ‘’Tsuriboshi’’ and absolutly nothing happened, as if he couldn’t even think of how the spell properly worked. So he sat down and thought about it a little, making such a large amount of spiritual pressure, into a cushion like material to soften falls, while also being such a low level spell. It was probably something about inflating the amount of spiritual energy to make some kind material that was harmless and elastic.

So he stood up once again wondering how he would make this possible. He focused his spiritual energy and attempted to mold it to make it look like something but his attempts didn’t quite give out the result he wanted. In fact it did not give any result at all just a bunch of spiritual energy released into the air.

He sat back down again trying to find a solution to his problem when you think about it, making a big cushion of spiritual energy never seemed really complicated to begin with, but then again that was only the rough version of saying it. Tatsu, never really being one to learn spells in the first place was only doing this because he hardly had anything left to do.

Standing back up again he focused his energy on the outside points of the star, thinking it would be a better idea to start by the easy part of the spell. And then he focused his way down to the middle, but before it worked correctly it ripped itself appart, there was a little something that the shinigami wasn’t doing right and it was putting the whole spell at stake.

He understood which it was such a complex spell now, the user had to actually focus his spiritual energy over all the area he wanted to cover with the spell, then focus on making it a cushion that could actually hold someone or multiple people over it. For that it had to materialise in the middle and on the edges at the same time, to prevent any damage being done to the person who was in need of the spell.

With this in mind, Tatsu focused his energy on the whole area being affected by the spell and spoke its name. ‘’Tsuriboshi!’’ Slowly the spell materialised into what looked like a successful attempt at learning a new bakudo. Tatsu walked over to his newly created hammock and took a catnap on it, to enjoy his sucess.
