[Quincy Archer Hates You Arc] Part 54: Accelerated Process

Before starting the training, Yoruichi led the teenagers to a remote area of the city after sensing Uryu's spiritual energy. The intention was to make same offer to train together, but the Quincy had other plans and rejected the offer.

After a brief conversation with the quincy, Yato, Tatsuki, Orihime, and Chad followed Yoruichi to an abandoned warehouse, where the black cat asked them to activate their respective powers.

Yato manifested his red threads and made them visible, while Tatsuki made her eyes change again.

Yoruichi: "It seems like you two have no problem activating your powers." - the cat spoke as he looked at Chad and Orihime. - "As for them..."

Chad: "OOOOOOOOH!!!"

Orihime: "AAAAAAH!!!"

Tatsuki/Yoruichi: "............"

Yato: "What are you two trying to do? Transform into super saiyans?"

Tatsuki: 'I did exactly the same thing they did when I tried to use my powers for the first time...'

Yoruichi: "Not even close. You will never be able to enter Soul Society like this."

Orihime: "But..."

Yoruichi: "No buts. If you can't activate your powers on your own, you won't last a minute in Soul Society."

Yato: 'That's exactly why I agreed to participate in this training with them...' - He thought while mentally conversing with Cheshire.

Cheshire: 'So it was part of your plan to make them stronger?'

Yato: 'Maybe Chad...? Inoue doesn't exactly need to get stronger since her powers are already quite... overpower... Her problem is that her powers work according to her will... but with Tatsuki around, that could change a bit...'

Cheshire: 'But why bother making others stronger instead of focusing on yourself?'

Yato: 'Because I prefer not to stand out or attract too much attention for now. If everyone in the group is strong, then the attention won't be solely on me... or Ichigo...'

Tatsuki: "Hey, Yato."

Yato: "Huh? What's up?"

Tatsuki: "How do you do that thing where a green glow comes out of your feet?"

Yato: "Hmm..." - He put his hand on his chin, trying to think of a way to explain how the ability works.

Tatsuki: "You don't know how to explain, do you...?"

Yato: "I'll try to explain with a few examples. Have you seen Ishida-san creating his arrows?"

Tatsuki: "Yes, but what does that have to do with him? Didn't you say we were something different from the quincy?"

Yato: "First, I want you to imagine that everything around us has a soul, not just people or animals. The arrows Ishida-san creates are because he manipulates spiritual particles around him."

The girl crossed her arms, trying to understand the explanation.

Yato: "In our case, it's as if we can manipulate those souls around us... so it's similar to the quincy, like, the feeling I have is that I'm manipulating and reshaping the soul of the ground to gain momentum, or changing the soul of the air to make it solid..."

Tatsuki: "Hmm... show me how it's done." - She said while staring intently at Yato's feet.

Yato: "Huh? Do you already get it?"

Tatsuki: "A little, but if I observe with my powers, maybe I can understand better."

Yato: "And what do your powers do?"

Tatsuki: "Whenever I activate my powers, I feel like I become...hyper focused, as if all my senses improve to the extreme. Once, I was able to predict the attacks and movements of Hollows by observing the subtle shifts in their spiritual energy, muscles, joints, and the slight movements of their eyes."

Yato: '...Although it's a simple power... in the hands of Tatsuki, who is a fighter, it can become frighteningly strong...' - He thought. "Alright, I'll give you a demonstration."

He use Bringer Light to jump a little higher than usual and used the ability to stand in the air while Tatsuki attentively observed what he was doing.

Orihime: "That's so cool, Yasakani-kun!"

Chad: "Hmm..."

Yoruichi: "Truly interesting, kid. You seem to have excellent control over your abilities. Why don't you share your experience with your friends? It might help them."

Yato: "Hmm... Alright." - He approached Chad and Orihime and manifested invisible threads so that Yoruichi couldn't see what he was about to do.

Orihime: "Are you going to show us how to fly, Yasakani-kun?" - She asked excitedly.

While Yoruichi was observing Tatsuki, who was trying to use the ability Yato had shown, Yato himself made the invisible threads touch Chad and Orihime without them noticing.

Yato: "I can try to show that later. First, you need to remember what you felt when you awakened your powers for the first time." - He said to Chad and Inoue. - 'Cheshire... give them a little help...'

Cheshire: 'Leave it to me!'

Although no one noticed anything, for Yato, it was as if the whole scene was covered in countless red threads in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had seen the same scene when he apparently went back in time, but this time everything happened in seconds.

Yato continued to look at his friends and noticed that they had their eyes closed.

Suddenly, Inoue's hairpins glowed, and Chad's right arm started to be covered in spiritual energy.

Yato: "It's working, keep it up." - He said, pretending as if he hadn't done anything.

Suddenly, Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka activated, manifesting the six small fairy-like creatures, while Chad had his right arm transformed, taking the form of the first version of his armor.

Yato was about to congratulate his friends when he heard Tatsuki shout.

Tatsuki: "Yes!! I did it!"

The shout caught the attention of Yato, Chad, and Orihime, who, upon looking at Tatsuki, saw the tomboy using Bringer Light and jumping in mid-air.

Orihime: "That's amazing, Tatsuki-chan!"

Tsubaki: "Amazing my foot! What's your problem summoning us for no reason!?" - He shouted at Inoue, pulling her hair.

Orihime: "Ow! I'm sorry!!"

Yato and Chad watched the scene with a comical sweatdrop on their heads.

As all this was happening, Yoruichi observed Yato attentively.

Yoruichi: 'It's just as Kisuke theorized... Yato's presence really accelerates the development of their powers...But this kind of development was too fast... What is this boy, after all...?'

# Meanwhile | Urahara Shop - Underground Training Grounds #

Ichigo was panting after several failed attempts to climb the large hole he had fallen into. After successfully completing lesson one of his training, Tessai severed his Chain of Fate, and then Ichigo was thrown into a large crater and had his arms restrained by a Kidou that Tessai had used.

Ichigo: "Damn it!!" - He shouted upon realizing that the encroachment of his Chain of Fate had already begun.
