Ch-6 Unlikely Hero

So, like, finally, the big moment I'd been waiting for showed up. It was, like, totally a night loaded with excitement and all that jazz. Outside my window, there was this mega-sized hollow that decided Ichigo's house was its next snack. It was, like, seriously menacing, and the whole town was getting all dark and gloomy.

But, hold on, I wasn't about to mess with the main plot, you know? I mean, if I took down that big bad hollow, who's gonna be left to fight the final boss? So, my game plan was pretty simple: I just wanted to show off my new Kido skills and maybe impress someone enough to be my waifu. I had to prove to my mom that I wasn't just a little kid anymore.

Stepping out of the house had to be low-key. My dad's a total night owl, thanks to his government job and his reading habits. He'd be buried in books until the crack of dawn. These jobs sure have their benefits.

With the house all quiet and stuff, I slipped out into the night. Adventure was calling, and my heart was pounding. I was on my way to where that hollow was hanging out, ready to put my kido to the test. Tonight was my time to shine, to show I could hold my own in this crazy world of spirits and monsters.

As I strolled through the dimly lit street from my house, I couldn't help but wonder what was gonna go down. I was getting closer and closer to the big showdown. My heart was racing, my hands were sweaty, but I was, like, totally stoked. This was my moment, and I couldn't wait to see what kind of adventure lay ahead.

The night was silent, except for the distant sound of the hollow wreaking havoc. Its eerie growls echoed through the streets, making me shiver with excitement and fear. But I had a plan, sort of. I knew that I wasn't a substitute shinigami like Ichigo, but with my newfound Kido powers, I felt invincible. Or at least, I hoped I did.

And then, out of nowhere, something totally unexpected happened. Rukia, the badass shinigami I'd seen in the anime, thrust her zanpakuto right at Ichigo. My jaw practically hit the ground. I mean, I knew this was the pivotal moment, but seeing it unfold right before my eyes was a whole other level of intense. This night just got even crazier, and I was right in the middle of it all, like, whoa.

I couldn't believe it. The moment I'd been waiting for was right in front of me. My heart raced, my palms got all sweaty, and my stomach felt like it was doing somersaults. This was the time to shine, no turning back.

As I ran towards the hollow, I realized the gravity of the situation. There it was, that colossal hollow, its presence looming over everything. Goosebumps covered my skin, but I couldn't back down now.

I saw Ichigo, covered in that weird, dusty stuff. In the anime, it was a bit of a gag, but here, it was epic in a whole new way. I mean, how could you not find a guy enveloped in dust dramatic?

Rukia was quick on her feet, yelling at me to run and get away from there. She probably thought I couldn't even see the darn hollow. But I was about to prove her wrong, big time.

With a confident grin, I struck a pose, like I'd seen the characters in the anime do a thousand times. I raised my palm, fingers splayed out, ready to unleash my powers. I wanted to look the part, to show everyone (especially myself) that I was here to make a difference.

And then, with a shout that probably woke up the whole neighborhood, I cast my Kido spell, "Hado #2 - Zephyr!" Man, it felt like I was charging up like a superhero in those comic books. I wanted to see the power of the hado which was not shown in the anime.

But as my spell shot out towards the colossal hollow, something unexpected happened. I got this notification in my head. It was like the system couldn't wait to spill the beans on what the heck I just did.

I couldn't help but be curious. I needed to know what this spell was all about, what it would do to that giant hollow, and if it was as cool as it sounded. This was the moment when I'd step into a world of shinigami, hollows, and powers beyond anything I'd ever imagined.

<System>: **Hado #2 - Zephyr (Gentle Gust)**: <This spell releases a controlled burst of wind energy, capable of pushing back opponents and disrupting their balance.>

I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. All that buildup, the excitement, and what did I get? A burst of wind? Seriously? It wasn't even a wind blade or something flashy. How the heck was I supposed to take down a hollow with a gentle gust?

The hollow did get blown away, that was for sure. But I had serious doubts that it was anywhere close to being defeated. If anything, it probably saw me as some kind of oversized table fan. Talk about embarrassing.

I turned to look at Rukia and Ichigo, who were both finished with their transformation into shinigami. They were staring at me with a mixture of awe and confusion.

I couldn't help but mutter under my breath, "Don't look at me like that. You guys could probably take that thing down with a single strike." It was true, considering the sheer power I'd seen from them in the anime. Meanwhile, I was here, blowing wind like some sort of amateur magician at a kids' birthday party.

They stared at me with wide eyes, their expressions a mix of astonishment and curiosity. It was like they couldn't believe their own peepers. And you know what? I couldn't blame 'em. What they just saw was kinda out there.

Then, like a double-barreled question shotgun, they both fired away. Ichigo, his eyeballs practically popping out of his head, went, "Hey, Ridhiro! How the heck did you pull that off?"

At the same time, Rukia raised an eyebrow and laid it out, "What in the soul society is Hado #2? I've never heard of such a thing."

Boom! I was hit with questions from both sides, but it was Rukia's curiosity that got me thinking. She wasn't buying into the whole Hado #2 business, and honestly, neither was I. The system had thrown me a curveball, and I wasn't quite sure how to bat it.

Ichigo looked like he wanted to know more, while Rukia had that analytical look in her eyes, like she was dissecting the info she just saw. It was a lot to swallow, especially considering I'd just tossed a new Kido spell into the mix. But hey, that's life when you've got a mysterious system giving you powers from another world, right?
