Ch-14: Life as Usual

So, as the clock ticked on, life after our little rendezvous at Urahara's shop kinda settled back into the usual routine. You know, Ichigo and the gang doing their thing – hunting down those pesky hollows, and, well, dealing with the usual teenage drama. But let me give you the lowdown on three interesting incidents that went down during that time. Sorry I'm a bit late with the scoop; turns out I wasn't the star of any of these shows.

1. The Parakeet Incident: Picture this: a bright and sunny day, a hollow on the prowl, and a young kid in deep trouble. Who comes to the rescue? None other than our heroes, Sado and Ichigo! They swooped in, saved the day, and gave that hollow a run for its money. Me? Oh, I missed out on all that action because I was stuck in extra classes at school. Yeah, my grades weren't exactly top-notch, but who needs grades when you've got Kido?

2. The Awkward Dog Dilemma: You cannot say I was a star of this show. This was a rather, um, embarrassing encounter with a dog. Yep, a dog almost took a chunk out of me. Can you believe it? I actually seriously almost thought of using one of my precious Kido spells to fend off a dog! It's a good thing a kind passerby stepped in and saved me from what could've been a seriously awkward situation. Talk about dodging a bullet... or a bark.

3. The Grand Fisher Showdown: Now, this one's a doozy. Ichigo went toe-to-toe with Grand Fisher, the granddaddy of all hollows who had been playing hide and seek with the Shinigami for over half a century. And guess what? Ichigo actually took him down! Same as in the anime. Grand Fisher was notorious for offing Ichigo's mom (sorry for such language), so there was some mixed emotion in the air. Justice served? Definitely. Closure for Ichigo? You bet. But I couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction, knowing that the beast who'd brought sorrow to my own mom had finally met his match.

Ah, but let me tell you, if you're wondering what's happening right now, rest assured that an epic showdown is unfolding right before my very eyes. It's the moment I've been eagerly waiting for - the duel between Uryu Ishida and Ichigo Kurosaki!

As I was totally engrossed in the unfolding anime-like spectacle, my heart went all "doki-doki" with excitement. You see, the showdown between Uryu Ishida and Ichigo promised to be like, seriously epic, the kind of battle that makes your hair stand on end and your adrenaline pump like crazy. And I was right there, front-row seat!

So there's Ishida, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Duel with me, Ichigo!" He dramatically smashes this white thingy, which, let's be real, is probably just fancy anime hollow bait. But hey, it works! As they both dash off to fight their respective hollows, I'm just like, "This is it! My moment!"

As the tension rises, I can't help but get into my "ready for action" pose. Hollows start swarming Karakura Town, and I'm standing there, Kido game on point. Ichigo and Ishida are off doing their thing, and I'm thinking, "This is my chance to shine."

And then it happens! One of those creepy black hollows decides to mess with me. Oh boy, you picked the wrong day! I pointed my palm like a boss and yelled, "Hado #5 - Raitenka!"

And then, out of nowhere, a system notification pops up

<System>: Hado #5 - Raitenka: It is a mid-level Kido spell that conjures a small, but intense, localized electrical storm at the target's location. The spell engulfs the target in a powerful surge of electricity, rendering it incapacitated and neutralized.

Suddenly, boom! An electric wall springs up from the ground, trapping Mr. Hollow in a zappy cage. He's all twitchy and zapped, and I'm like, "You just got Hado'd, buddy!" That's right, my Kido skills are on point!

The electric cage fades away, and there's the hollow, all stunned and harmless. I'm just grinning like a Cheshire cat, thinking, "One down, a gazillion to go."

And here comes the main event, folks! It's time to unleash my brand new combination of spells. Since I didn't have the full details of these Kido spells, I decided to use them one after the other. I've already breezed through Hado spells up to number 5. I mean, who needs number 4? We've all seen that in the anime, right? Now, I'm itching to see what the rest can do.

As for Bakudo spells, I've only dipped my toes into the water with number 3. So, let's get the show on the road. I pointed at those fracture-like rifts in the sky where the hollows were swarming and yelled, "Bakudo #3 - Kanshi!" Suddenly, it felt like the world around me sharpened, and a system notification chimed its approval.

<System>: Bakudo #3 - Kanshi: It enhances the caster's sensory perception, heightening their ability to detect faint sounds, scents, or spiritual auras. This spell grants the user an acute awareness of their surroundings, allowing them to perceive hidden dangers and subtle changes in the environment with greater clarity.

I closed my eyes for a moment, and there it was - the ability to sense every hollow in my vicinity, like some kind of supernatural radar, I could sense Ichigo just slashing hollows in his path. Heck, I could even detect the hollows near my home. Panic set in; I needed to get back there and protect my parents. But first, I had to deal with the 25 hollows roaming in my vicinity.

With newfound clarity, I hollered out, "Hado #7 - Soraburu!" The system chimed once more, but honestly, I didn't have time to read those notifications.

<System>: Hado #7 - Soraburu: It allows the caster to propel themselves high into the air, granting the ability to perform aerial attacks and gain a strategic advantage in combat. This spell creates a burst of energy beneath the user, lifting them off the ground and into the skies. It provides temporary flight capabilities, enabling the caster to maneuver through the air with ease.

I was soaring high above the town, and it was like whoa! There's actually a Kido spell to fly! My heart raced as I zoomed through the blue sky, leaving the hollows far below. It felt unbelievable, and I couldn't help but grin like a maniac as I marveled at the world from this newfound perspective.

As I looked down at the town, my excitement bubbled over. This was beyond anything I could have imagined. I was flying, for real! Hollows scattered like leaves in the wind as I looked towards them. It was showtime, and I had a whole arsenal of Kido spells at my disposal. These hollows didn't stand a chance!
