Reincarnated As Shiba Clan’s Heir! (Bleach-Gin)

Lisa was next, her eyes focused on the wooden dummy across from her. She had seen Sayuri do it effortlessly, but as she stood there, she couldn’t shake off the nervousness. This was her first time attempting a Bakudo, a binding spell. She had seen Yoruichi do it with the Hado, but she couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to do it too. Taking a deep breath, she decided to give it her all.

"Binding tendrils of ethereal force, restrict and confine! Bakudo #1: Sai!" She commanded, extending her hand towards the dummy. Ethereal bands emerged from her hand and quickly wrapped themselves around the dummy. Her heart pounded in her chest as she felt the reiatsu draining from her. After a moment that felt like an eternity, the bands tightened, successfully immobilizing the dummy.

Lisa let out a sigh of relief and flashed a triumphant smile at her friends. "I did it!" she exclaimed, her excitement contagious. Kazuki and Yoruichi responded with enthusiastic applause while Isane looked on with wide eyes.

Next up was Isane. She stood before the wilted plant, her eyes filled with a determination that made her glow. Being a future healer, she felt an innate connection with the Kaido spells. She clasped her hands together, drawing her focus inward as she recited the chant.

"Gentle currents of rejuvenating energy, flow and mend the wounds! Kaido #1: Kaifuku!" Isane gently touched the wilted plant, her hands bathed in a gentle, green glow. Almost immediately, the plant responded. Its leaves brightened, standing up straight, full of life once again.

Isane withdrew her hand, her expression filled with awe. "It's... it's alive," she whispered, barely believing the miracle she had just performed. Kazuki couldn't help but feel a swell of admiration for his friend. Isane, who was usually so soft-spoken, had shown a completely different side of her.

Finally, it was Kazuki's turn. As he stepped forward, his sky-blue eyes focused on the dummy in front of him. His silver hair shimmered under the dim light of the room, giving him an ethereal appearance. He remembered how he had used Sho before, how it felt when the spell was executed perfectly.

Kazuki was next, his heart pounding as he stepped forward. His silver hair shimmered under the dim light, his sky-blue eyes locked on the wooden dummy across the room. The silence in the room was almost tangible, the anticipation palpable. He remembered the first time he used Sho — the rush of energy, the sheer power of it. He had done it without knowing the chant, without even knowing what he was doing. But now, understanding had replaced ignorance, and his intent was even stronger.

He extended his palm towards the dummy, focusing his reiatsu, his intent. He could almost see the energy gathering, feel it surging forth. Without uttering a word, he channeled the Hado spell. "Sho."

A burst of energy erupted from his palm, hitting the dummy with a force so strong it not only skidded but toppled over entirely. A gasp echoed through the room as the students took in the sheer power of his Sho. Yoruichi's grin widened, while Lisa and Isane exchanged impressed glances.

"Amazing," Isane whispered, her eyes wide with admiration.

Lisa nodded, her gaze locked on Kazuki. "Incredible. He didn't even chant."

Kazuki turned to look at his friends, a mix of satisfaction and surprise on his face. He had expected his Sho to be stronger, but the effect was beyond what he had imagined. Yoruichi clapped him on the shoulder, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"You've got quite a knack for this, Kazuki," she teased. "Are you sure you're not a secret prodigy hiding among us?"

Kazuki laughed, brushing off the compliment. "I doubt it. But it was... intense. Different from the first time. I felt... I felt more connected."

"And now, it's time for the second Hado," Yoruichi said, her tone growing serious again. "Think you can handle it?"

Kazuki nodded, taking a deep breath as he prepared himself for the next challenge. He extended his hand, his reiatsu swirling around him. He remembered the flash of light, the moment of disorientation when Sayuri had cast the spell. It wasn't about force, it was about diversion and stealth.

With a focused intent, he channeled his reiatsu once again. "Kyokko."

There was a bright flare of light that forced everyone to shield their eyes. When the light subsided, Kazuki stood there, unscathed and grinning. He looked at his friends, his eyes alight with excitement.

"Wow, Kazuki. That was fantastic!" Lisa praised, clapping her hands. "You didn't just execute the spells, you excelled at them!"

Isane nodded, her eyes reflecting her admiration. "You make it look so effortless, Kazuki."

He chuckled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. His silver hair shimmered as he tilted his head back, a soft laugh escaping his lips. "Thanks, guys. But it's far from effortless. It's... it's like a surge, a rush of power. You have to be in control, but you also have to let go at the same time. It's a strange balance."

Yoruichi nodded, understanding lighting her golden eyes. "That's a good way to put it, Kazuki. Kido is about balance - the balance between control and release, between intent and will, between reiatsu and chant."
