13 Flash step
A month had passed by and within Alyssia's families back yard she sat on the ground while channelling her electro through her body.
Slowly she had grasped the feeling and had gathered the electro to one point on her body.
She chose her main foot as the place to gather her electro first which was her right one so that she could push herself forward with it but also attack with it sometimes.
She stood up and held the electro in place and pushed her foot down on the ground and then took a step forward.
Just as she took the step the electricity exploded underneath her feet which propelled her forward.
As she cleared a small distance she landed once again but immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Several attempts afterwards she had slowly begun to grow familiar with taking one step forward and slowly began to improve how she made use of it.
After remembering many techniques from different mangas she found that there was one type of technique that helped to move at a fast speed and clear long distances very quickly.
After thinking about it she had thought about one piece's world government techniques like the moonwalk or shave and how to make an alternative version to suit her use of electro so she decided upon Bleach's flash steps and hohō skills.
Flash step the most important skill for any Shinigami to know but it is still unclear as to how a Shinigami is able to use Hohō, but it's likely that it's to do with the Shinigami's ability to walk on air using Spiritual Energy.
By collecting and solidifying Reishi beneath their feet, A Shinigami is able to successfully walk on this air and thus able to freely move about and stop themselves from falling.
Meanwhile flash steps is a technique that allows a Shinigami to move faster than the eye can follow.
The one thing that a Shinigami must learn and is the focal point of the technique is that of speed.
Considering this technique is focused on Speed, the ability to use Shunpo relies solely on a characters ability on how fast they can travel from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.
Both training and skill, therefore, determine how fast a Shinigami can travel.
Those who have little skill using this technique and haven't used it for extensive periods of time are understandably slower than more advanced users, as it takes them more steps to get to a different location, and usually become winded during a shorter amount of time.
Of course there are also other versions that are more advanced.
Senka a special type of Shunpo that causes the user to appear behind the foes back. This allows them to directly attack from behind with a swift strike.
Depending on the level of the user, the attack may be executed with such speed that the opponent may not be able to tell which direction they are being attacked from, and those observing may find it impossible to see the attack even being used.
Finally a more advanced movement is the cicada movement that is so fast that it leaves an 'imprint' or 'afterimage' behind.
The mastery of using Hohō can be enhanced and improved through concentration and training.
After remembering how the techniques are used she began to use her electro in a similar way to how the bleach characters used their Reishi.
She let the electro build up under her foot and as she lifted her heel up her forefoot pressed down on the ground with all of her weight and pushed herself forward as the electro exploded underneath her forefoot.
Just as the flash of lightening exploded under her foot, she disappeared from her current position and reappeared a short distance in front of where she stood.
Alyssia stepped upon her left foot as she landed, as she landed she was able to keep her body stable and then stepped on her right foot once more as her electro was being channelled towards the bottom of her feet once more.
Again she disappeared from her current position and reappeared landing on her left leg.
Her first step was a little unstable and she almost fell to the ground but she kept practicing so that she could gain more familiarity with her electro and make it into her own technique.
She was able to cover a small distance quickly but her technique and control over it was still sloppy.
It took some time to charge up and control the electro to combine it into her flash step movements so there was still a delay between each flash step that she used.
While practicing like this is helpful for her to gain familiarity and increase her speed and evasion abilities, she still required the knowledge of techniques of the one piece world like the world governments skills that she needed in her skillset.
Each of the Rokushiki seems to focus on certain aspects of physical perfection in martial arts, Soru or shave for speed, Rankyaku or tempest kick for kicking strength, Shigan for arm strength, Geppo/moonwalk/skywalk for jumping agility, Kami-e for flexibility and Tekkai for endurance and durability.
Although she could not care for the arm strength, flexibility or durability abilities she did want to learn the other techniques but she first had to come in contact with a marine or world government member who had been training in it.
For now she could only learn the basics and slowly increase her mastery of what she knew until she met someone who she could learn them from with the help of the system.
Once she had learned those abilities she could combine them with her electro to make an improved version of them.
If she used soru or shave which increases her speed with just pure physical leg strength and technique then electro added would only serve to make her difficult to catch or hit.
Rankyaku or tempest kick would give her more range with the wind blades that are sent out with a kick of her leg so it would be an additional ability to add to her electro and if possible she may be able to learn how to fire off her electro too along with the wind blade.
As for geppo or sky walk which helped her jumping ability and provided the ability to step on air the combination of it with electro would also improve the original ability so that she could move at a faster speed while in the air.
Each ability would prove to be very useful if it was used right in combat and would help in close and long range type combat.
For now though she had to use what was available to her and experiment until she gets it right and then slowly develop some special techniques or abilities.
