Miwa had passed by the manga shop which was all too familiar to her now. Walking in through the door, the familiar chime was heard as the door closed behind her. There was a certain individual in her mind that could help her further hone her powers.
Walking past the shelves of various mangas, she looked around the empty place. As she looked around, nothing aside from the apparent lack of customers seemed out of place. It was hard to imagine there was a whole world brewing underneath this humble little store.
Bringing herself to the front counter, she let her voice ring loud and clear.
"Clyde!!!! Where are you?!"
Now hopefully he heard that. If not, she could probably find an alternative to get him coming, as she looked at a shelf of collector's edition manga with a twisted fire brewing in her eyes.

A shiver ran up the boy's spine as he sat in the back, attempting to meditate with his power somewhat. He had started to feel differences with it since his fight with the arrancar Virgil, and wondered if perhaps something was happening to it. At this time, his knowledge of his power didn't go beyond the basics, so any change could drastically effect his fighting for better or worse.
The shiver in his spine wasn't related to this though, but to an all too familiar voice. Whenever Miwa spoke like that it meant only one thing. The two would have another spar. They had quite a few since the first and while he did enjoy them, he still felt a numbing feeling whenever she arrived. It was like his body was anticipating the eventual shock treatment it would be getting.
It took a minute, but eventually a head poked out from the back room and looked out towards the girl. "Haha, I'm back here, there's no need to yell. Hello, Miwa." he gave a playful smile before drifting his head back out of view and finishing up his meditation. He would wait for her to come back there before inevitably moving to the training grounds. "You certainly sound...energetic today. Excited for another round?"

Miwa flashed Clyde a rather unnerving grin, as she brought her hands out her pockets, letting a trail of blue sparks emit from her fingertips as she brought it across her eyes, the sparks becoming like miniature fireworks as they crackled and popped in the air. She had gained a bit better control over Furina by use of Tai Chi, and incorporating chakras, certain points of the body which release life energy, to sustain and better control her power.
"Of course, Clyde-senpai, why wouldn't I be? I get to play doctor again. Don't be too down. I heard its great for releasing tension."
Her hand still up, she formed an arc of white electricity between her thumb and forefinger.
"I'm feeling confident, so let's start already...."

"Last time you "played doctor" I was seeing spots for days." He retorted with a grin, holding his hand to his palm with a fake sigh, obviously just playing around with her. With that he would begin heading towards the back of the building, where the path to the underground training area was. The two would descend it, taking their time as they were heading down the long stair case.
As they went downward Clyde's mind dwelled on something that seemed rather simple at first. She had referred to him as Senpai, perhaps the first time she had ever refereed to him as such since they began this whole training thing. Perhaps it didn't mean much, but it had taken the young man slightly by surprise to be called by the honorific. "So...Senpai, huh? I didn't think we were at that point yet." He spoke curiously with a light smile as they were nearing the bottom of the steps.
Once again the two entered the sprawling environment. The boy looked out towards the scenery, it was always quite astonishing to see it no matter how many times he came here. It was an incredible sight...the boy just wished there was a bit more greenery around the area. After stepping far enough away from the entrance he turned with a prepared look on his face. "The rules for this one are gonna be simple. You're gonna need to maintain a steady voltage of 10 kilowatts of your power, no more no less, while we fight. This exercise isn't so much as increasing your power, as it is increasing your stamina of having a constant strain on your reiatsu. Understand?"

Bringing her hand upwards in front of her, she clenched it, the smile on her face growing wide. "It's what I'd like to call shock therapy, and you're welcome."
Miwa's eyes narrowed at Clyde's comment about her usage of honorifics, flashing him a look that clearly stated don't even start with me. "Well, you are older than I and have been a sparring partner a couple of times now, so Senpai it is." Crossing her arms, she flashed a quick wink towards him, taunting him. "Would Onii-chan be better suited to your tastes?" Miwa added with a hint of sarcasm.
Miwa stepped out into the artificial world, her feet coming to a halt as she gazed around the place. It still struck her with awe as this was the only terrarium of this magnitude. Turning her gaze back to Clyde, she let out a loud yawn. "You really take the fun out of shock therapy. I think it's just because you're afraid. But fine, Furina and I will show you...."
Adjusting her stance, she quickly brought her left foot in front of her. Moving her right arm back, she proceeded to move her right hand forward, her two forefingers pointing outward, an arc of electricity forming between the fingers. "I'm ready when you are."

He was a bit surprised by being refereed to as her older brother, but simply nodded. It was odd to be refereed to like this, both senpai or Onii-chan, but it didn't really bother him. He just had never been called such a term before. With a light grin he spoke up, "Haha, Onii-chan? I suppose that's fine if that's how you see me. Call me whatever feel is most appropriate, Miwa." As he spoke he lowered himself and clenched his hand against a grain of dirt, manipulated the dirt around him and forming it around his arm, changing it into more of a gauntlet of reiatsu.
"You can tease me all you like, just don't break the rules of the training. It's for your benefit, not mine." He flashed a confident, somewhat taunting grin. "I know you're not exactly one for rules...buuuut...." He teased, letting his voice drift before he could continue.
"Now remember, no more or no less. ...It'll be harder than it sounds." Clyde warned as he positioned himself carefully, preparing for his first attack. "Alright, Let's begin!" She would need to be careful and focus on her power if she was gonna accomplish the boy's task of her. There was a pause between the two before he finally moved forward with incredible speed, leaping in the air he would land close to Miwa and would quickly swing his right arm towards her with a chop, using his power to protect it. His first attack was simple, but he planned on putting the pressure on following it.

Shaking her head at Clyde's oblivious nature, she simply replied with a smirk. "Obviously, you didn't realize what I was implying....But if you look at me as a little sister, I suppose it can't be......"
Miwa was caught midsentence as she watched Clyde immediately go on the offensive. The only problem she had was her obvious lack of skill as far as reiatsu was concerned. Closing her eyes briefly, she let her reiatsu charge itself towards a steady 10 kV, before noticing the momentary pause of Clyde's movements.
She quickly let her Tesla Coil wrap around her body as the reiatsu chains launched outward with a polar burst of Furina, imbedding themselves into the ground as Miwa pulled herself forward with the two coiled around her wrists in an attempt to increase her speed if only momentarily. The wind could clearly be felt from Clyde's chop, debris flying up and over her, coming down on the Tesla Coil as it shattered from the pressure. She had avoided the first blow, but more were soon to follow as the Tesla Coil reformed into her trusty katana, as a upward swing released a wave of electrified reiatsu towards Clyde.

The young boy raised his eyebrow at her statement before he had attacked, he was as oblivious to her comment as she had thought. Clyde proceeded to use his impressive speed to jump to the side of her wave of electricity. She had gotten faster by almost an entire second since the last time they fought, which in a fight was much faster. Even so, however, he was a much faster opponent.
Just as his feet hit the ground he would move forward towards her again this time opening up his hand towards her and causing and long pole of energy to shoot out of the center directly at her. It would move past her however and slam into a nearby boulder, just as it slammed into it he pulled his hand back, causing the pole to move backward again and for the boulder to be ripped from the ground and send it hurdling towards the girl from the behind.
Meanwhile, the pole would dissipate back into the boy's hand before he punched his fist into the ground, causing a wave of reiatsu to shoot upward at the girl in an attempt to sandwich her between the two attacks. Normally, her reiatsu may have been able to at least slow Clyde's down at its maximum, but since she had to purposely keep it near the middle it did not have the punch to do it. She would need another way to stop it.

She had not anticipated this much, Clyde wasn't holding back nearly as much as before. With her handicap, it would proved to be a real challenge. Originally, she hadn't planned on using Tesla Coil as she had been doing, as she let the sword fly into the boulder, shattering as the chain pierced through the outer shell.
Wrapping the chain around her wrist, she pulled as hard as she could, using the chain and momentum of the falling boulder to launch herself up into the air, as the boulder hit the wave of reiatsu. As Miwa fell, she severed the Tesla Coil as soon as the boulder was blasted the oblivion. Holding out her left hand, she formed not her usual giant shuriken, but several smaller ones as she let them soar effortlessly towards Clyde. Her feet then touched the ground gently as she let about fifteen more fly. She had to think like a ninja and quickly subdue her adversary, else she fall here in a simple sparring match.

Clyde kept his hand to the ground, allowing him to keep control of the blast of reiatsu which after obliterating the boulder moved backward towards Clyde to protect him from the first few shurikens, which were pushed back from his power into the dirt near his feet, repelled by the strength of the energy bursting from the ground. As the second set came towards his wave of energy he would suddenly emerge from the reiatsu, leaping into the sky above the skurikens, in his hand looked to be a bow of reiatsu. "Incoming!" He yelled out to get her attention as he pulled back on the bow, collecting his own reiatsu to fire off a few blasts of energy. It was similar to a quincy's bow, but he was using his own reiatsu as ammunition as opposed to the reiatsu around him. each "arrow" would slam into the ground with small explosions before the energy would leave the ground and return to the boy's arm.

The shattered shuriken served their purpose, as Miwa pulled on the reishi chains that were attached to them, letting Furina course through them to loosen up the soil, as she tore out a large area of earth, pulling it upward with all the strength she could muster, as the particles of iron re-magnetized themselves into a shield in front of her, immediately taken action by crouching down behind the shield.
If she was to control Furina, she would have to spawn several chains to prevent her weapon fusions to hold their shape, as it was impossible to do without a momentarily heightened voltage. In this sense, she had to keep a current flowing through it to maintain its shape. Using her right hand she kept the current flowing, as each hit bore down upon the shield, chipping away quickly at the weakening barrier, as her right hand begun to bleed from the pressure placed upon them. Putting her left hand to the side, she gathered materials to reform the same hammer she had used in their previous spar.
Letting her Tesla Coil attach itself to the shield, she used her back to keep it propped upward as her grip tightened among the hammer. With a swing of the hammer and a burst of Furina, she struck the shield, letting it fly towards Clyde as it shattered into thirty kunai knives, each one attached to her transparent chains. With a slight smile, Miwa returned Clyde's own comment back towards him, "Danger from below...."

"Soaring bird." Clyde echoed out from above as the knives flew towards him. As he said this two wings of his own reiatsu spread out from the bow large enough to keep him in mid air. He looked down at the knives as they got closer and closer and finally when they looked to be just in range to hit him the wings flapped downward causing a huge gust of wind. This didn't stop the knives but instead set the human literally soaring away from them as he flew in the sky. His power allowed him to have a wide range of different abilities, flight was one of them though he had never shown it to Miwa.
"I'm surprised, I figured she'd have to resort to using more kilowats to make equipment like she is." The boy thought as the kunai's flew past him. He looked back down at her with a grin as the wings flapped one more time before dissipating, this time sending him hurdling towards the ground his bow transforming into a spear shape which he aimed to stab into the ground, sending a huge shockwave outward towards the girl. He lifted himself quickly from the ground and followed the shock wave right behind it to send a spinning kick at her should she pass through it.

Miwa could feel the waning of her reiatsu as she struggled to keep the current consistent and the voltage at its predetermined limit. Perhaps she had sent out too many Tesla Coils, but then again, she would never get anywhere if she didn't push herself. She had only recently learned how to create a polar charge with electromagnetism. Wait, that was it....
She had been too self absorbed in her mental conversation she had failed to notice the wings sprouting out of Clyde's back. As her gaze returned to him, he had just plummeted towards the ground, in what Miwa could assume he was about to do, for it was far too predictable. Lifting the hammer above her head, she brought it down to release a shockwave of her own, instantly altering the electric polarity of the large hammer so that it would incinerate in a opposite charge to that of her shockwave, creating a force that would throw her frame airborne.
The sound of other subsequent explosions were soon to follow as each kunai knife exploded in a burst of sparks, launching up more rocky debris as the Tesla Coils began to fly freely around Miwa, a slight blueish glow indicating that they were there as she prepared herself for a follow up attempt.

Clyde's kick hit nothing as the wave of reiatsu subsided revealing Miwa had somehow gotten herself into the air. He gave a sly smirk, impressed by the quick thinking. With a playful grin he spun his weapon around in his hand, however, at that moment and as it spun it's shape changed and grew, resembling something like a boomerang.
With a flick of his wrist he expertly threw it at her causing it to fly through the air at extreme speeds. Due to the nature of his power though it wouldn't reach her, as it got closer it would get smaller as the reiatsu would return to the boy's arm, if she realized it soon enough she'd realize it was a distraction.
While this was happening the boy was dodging the explosions of the kunai using well timed jumps and expert movements, making his way directly under where Miwa was. Once the reiatsu returned to his hand completely he formed a large bat like object, grabbing hold of it with both hands he swung backward and then forward at the girl as she was descending towards the ground. He was aiming to hit her like a baseball.

Placing her arms up in front of her as she directed the current to her arms, she attempted to block the boomerang. After a couple of seconds, Miwa lowered her arms to see the boomerang had disappeared, but something else caught her eye.
From the looks of it, Clyde was using this as an opportunity to brush up on his baseball skills. A grimace came across her face, as she screamed a few feet above Clyde. "Damn it, Clyde!!!!" As if through instinct, the Tesla Coils lunged at Clyde's weapon, wrapping around it as they attempted to halt the swing, and granted an opportunity to a ticked off Miwa.

Miwa's Tesla coil surprised the boy as it wrapped around his weapon so quickly but the human didn't let it stop him, it was easy for him to get out of this situation. Instead of swinging it forward he brought it down with all of his strength, trying to bring Miwa to him now. As he yanked down on it he shrunk the bat's size so he could remove it from her coils quickly and he leapt towards her with it, preparing to deliver the swing he had intended to give her just a moment ago.
"Not quite, I'm afraid!" He laughed as she cursed him and swung the bat in his hand once, causing its size to become enormous, enough to hit her entire body. "Here I come!" Once the two got close enough he would deliver the swing, aiming to knock her into the ground with it. "...And there you go." He teased as his weapon returned to a more manageable size. His muscles tensed and he shuttered a bit though, knowing that she'd pay him back ten fold with...shock treatment.

Miwa was quickly caught off guard as her descent became faster pulled down by the force of her own chains. Pulling up on one of her coils, the chain slightly diverted the trajectory of the first swing, a current of electricity sent coursing towards Clyde upon the coil's return path.
Placing her hand in front of her, the coils dispersed as they reformed into the large iron shield once more, sent crashing down onto Clyde's head upon his taunting her with the abnormally large bat. That will shut him up.
Letting out a laugh at his misfortune, she kicked off the shield as it shattered into several fragments. Using the rare opportunity to her advantage, her feet landed nimbly on the earth behind her as she launched herself at Clyde, her right hand pulled back. In a brief moment without hesitation, a current flowed into her hand as she thrusted the electrified hand through the air, straight towards the solar plexus of Clyde, her posture remaining low to the ground.

"Hahtatata~!" Clyde flinched backward as he felt an electrical current hit his body, causing him to yell out a rather humorous yell as he contorted from the attack. He then fell over rather comically from the shield breaking across his head saying one simple word, "Ow."
If Miwa knew the boy at all, however, she knew he was far from open to attack yet. Even as he fell he managed to immediately recover and roll back on to his feet and move his body out of the way of her follow up strike towards his solar plexus. He grabbed her arm as it passed him before, and countered her move by throwing a kick to her side with his right leg.
Knowing he had to keep his distance from her electrical powers though, he released his hold and would swing the bat like weapon into her and extend it's length dramatically. He was aiming to push her quite a distance away from him before the weapon dispersed and reformed into a normal sword like shape.

Miwa felt her breath leave her as her arm flew by him, a forceful leg pounding into Miwa's gut.
The blow brought her down to one knee, gasping for air. Finally having found it, she pulled herself back to her feet, the sparks igniting from her fingertips.
The next attack came at her, as she threw her arms up in front of her to guard. As she sheltered the critical areas of her frame, she felt her feet skidding backwards several meters before coming to an abrupt halt. Lowering her guard, she noticed the distance between them had drastically increased.
It was apparent Clyde did not care much for her shock treatment, as she formed eight shuriken between her fingers on each hand. Swinging her right hand forward, she launched the first set of four towards Clyde. Upon impact, they would explode violently into sparks of various hues of blues. Adjusting another shuriken into her free right hand, she waited for Clyde's next move, ready to let several more fly towards their target.

Clyde adjusted his position, bending his knees as he saw Miwa creating her shuriken. He had forgotten that she could make her objects explode, so he knew dodging them would not be enough.
He prepared himself as she threw them using his power to push off against the ground and into the air, kicking up a large section of dirt. The shurikens would fly nearby and begin to explode but the boy recreated the wings on his back and flapped them to quickly send him even further airborne above them. "You're doing a good job of keeping that charge, maybe it's time I kicked things up a little."
He then turned himself so his head was pointing down towards the girl and flapped the wings again, heading straight for her. As he got closer lifted his bladed weapon up and swung it downward causing it to extend forward like a whip, it aimed to wrap around her other hand and shurikens and throw it to the side to force her to release them. However during this the "whip" blade separated into a second tendril which aimed to slam into her like a punch to the head.
