Ryo was sitting on his stole behind the counter as he spent most his days just seeming to be spacing out as he just stared outside watching costumers come in time to time, sales were going good with the boost of shipments that had gotten but word couldnt help but start to spread that he was a washed up drunk, some rumors would say he was a once rock star, others say he was a ceo of a huge company, and a few others partly true would say he was a teacher that had snapped during class losing his job.
He was a teacher at one point in this town but that was before the war brewed again and he had to take a more firmer standing, he knew if he had stayed at the school he would have put all the students and other teachers at risk, this was a far wiser plan of action as it was easy to get lost in the heart of karakura, with Viz Co looming over everything.
Ryo had bin thinking about what he was going to do about Kuro obviously taking a firm standing in wanting karakura as his play thing, including wanting to have himself as a plaything for Kuro's amusement which wasnt going to happen. Tho Kuro was his senpai he would not stand to be anyones puppet, he would strike back soon, with a knife that would reach Kuro in his madness.
All of that was irrelvent as his students where post to be arriving anymoment now as the sun went down, Ryo would slowly make his way towards the door turning the open sign off he would look down the street on both sides as darkness took the city, now to see if the first class of the new era would show....

As soon as the darkness of night engulfed the sky, the street lamps on the street that the manga shop was located on started turning on. On the left side of the street, a figure could be seen carrying something that was in the shape of a pole. When the figure entered the light emitting from one of the street lamps, the figure that was walking in the dark was actually a 17 year old boy carrying a shinai, name Tensai. As Tensai started walking closer, he noticed Ryo at the door looking down the street.
Once he got up to Ryo, Tensai said "Hi Ryo, hows it going? Do you mind if we talk for a minute before we begin training? You see my body apparently goes into cardiac arrest once I enter my shinigami form, which causes a major problem when people actually discover my body. I even had to go to the hospital because of that, and met up with the leader of a group of people who call themselves the Quincy"

Ryo would blink a few times at tensai then sigh slowly walking towards the front door and leaning against the wall next to it." Sounds like you are choosing foolish times to exit your body...tho there is a alternative to the necklace, the necklace is the safest route...as the other causes a few issues with appreance more so then you drooling on the ground. " he would say with a sly smirk and scratch his head a coy mischievous look in his eyes looking out from under his bucket hat.
" As for the Quincy be weary of them, they arnt exactly like us...and getting to close to them will draw more attention to you being that are apart of a struggle. " he explain to Tensai simply and bluntly giving the impression to not further prod at the subject. " So other then drooling on the ground and finding your self checking yourself out at the hospital....how goes the new experiences of the world unseen. " he would ask curious of what he had bin doing.

Clyde had decided to wait out a few a little while longer before taking ryo up on his offer of shelter, he was very much used to sleeping outdoors, even with all the noise of the outside. But he had waited long enough, he had promised this man that he would return, and be taught how to master the power he had been born with...maybe even get his memories back.
As he began to walk down the darkened street carrying his few belongings, his clothing, pole and a little sack with apples in it he had been eating, he had a sudden feeling of deja vu. There he was looking at the manga shop, feeling something all too familiar about it, but he barely got to see anything in it the first and only time he was there. He sighed aloud, deciding to let it slip from his mind for the time being. He would then enter politely bow to Ryo.
"I have returned for your training, Master Ryo, As you asked...uhhh"
He hesitated, not really sure what else to say at the moment...instead, he pulled the apples from his side to held it forward a bit towards the older man.
"...Want one?"

{ On the fact Tensai has left KK for some time, im just going to ignore his posts and continue)
Ryo would smirk and take the apple " Just in time " he would simply say tossing the apple to his other hand and walking inside. He would lead Clyde inside the shop first to his room which was in the far back on the first story of the shop. it was a simple and plain empty room with not even a window, seeming to be tucked next to the supply room that was filled with anime and manga.
" This will be your room, so go ahead and set your stuff down in here now, so i don't gotta carry that too when ya pass out from your first lesson " he said simply and would start walking towards the supply room and knock on the wall next to it, it turning into a sliding door and sliding open instantly revealing a set of stairs leading down. Ryo would make his way down to the gigantic training room that resembled a burning wasteland filled with sand, dirt, boulders, and even a large plateau

Clyde laughed aloud when Ryo said that he would pass out from the first lesson, not really understanding how serious the man was in his statement. Clyde was not an overly confident person by any means, but he certainly thought he was strong enough to survive a little training. He placed what little he had near one of the corners of the room, but kept the pole on him as it was his signature weapon.
From there, he followed the older man down the stairs, wondering where exactly they would be training...the basement? An underground gym? Much to the young man's surprise the stair's emptied the two out into a gigantic wasteland, as if he had taken a wrong turn and ended up in the desert somehow. He looked around the room with amazement, even feeling the sand to make sure it was real. The air felt different down here, thicker somehow...and familiar. He looked as far as he could, but saw no end to it, as if it went on forever.
"Whoa...Where are we?" Is all he could manage to say after a taking his time examining the area.

Ryo would simply smirk biting into the apple as Cylde was overwhelmed he would walk out to a fairly open area and finish chewing and swallow the pice of apple and point at Cylde with the apple. " This " he would say starting to wave his hand around " is my underground training area. And here im going to open your eyes " he said with a smirk and took another bite of the apple and slowly chewed letting his words sink into Clydes mind.
" In the spiritual world its beyond what most can see only a few like your self can actually see it,thus when fighting hollows and combating other threats you must keep that in mind, but the key of mastering your powers there are two things that will become prime to you. " he would say and take another bite of the apple and chew it quickly.
" Speed and energy. " he would say and swallow the apple piece. " Faster you can summon your weapon and use it the better you can defend your self when it counts most. and energy well..you see unlike fighting most enemies that you may have fought up till now there is one power you have yet to face...tho you have it, you have yet to realize you posses some thing besides your weapon...and that is Reiatsu, spiritual energy, its what allows you to see the dead, and allows to you combat them..and what fuels you, its how the hollows are able to tell you are not like every one else... due to that fact you have bin painted a target to every hollow that comes into town thus why i feel the need to assist you..so you dont end up being a meal for some hungry hollow while you are sleeping. " he said simply and would take another bite letting cylde retain the information and now ask any questions he had as this was just instruction so far.

"That would explain why they seem so blissfully unaware of the horrors going on...So I'm just a special case then, most humans don't even know about this? That's a bit disturbing." Clyde admitted, rubbing the back of his head. He would pace around in a small circle, finding himself to anxious to really stand in one place.
"...And because I'm a special case, I'm baiting more hollow to this town. Tell me Ryo, is my duty to protect this people futile? Do the hollow have an end?" He sounded somber, disheartened with the fact that he was putting other in danger just from his presence. However before his question would answer he would immediately shake his head a raise it with a more serious disposition. "Ya know what, no, I think it's better that I don't know that answer. Regardless the best course is to fight to defend them and myself, right? He gave a grin with his question.
"Ahem, so, is Reiatsu how I have been using my weapon? I've been doing it by instinct for the most part, but it's like second nature to me for some reason. How do I learn to control it, is there anyway to hide it from the hollow?" He lifted his pole from his side and began twirling it in his right hand nonchalantly.

Ryo simply smirked " there is a time and place for your own time worry not " he said simply and took a bite of the apple looking at it for a moment thinking back for a moment when he was just beginning to fight the hollows.
-400 years ago-
A very young 14 year old looking Ryo carrying a katana slowly walks through a forest his clothes stained with blood, some still dripping from a recent battle. A howl fills the air as a bird like hollow flys down trying to swoop and pick him up.
" What the! " he shouts as he rolls and sticks to a tree. " Tsk...arnt you some thing new..... " he would say and unsheathe his katana as the hollow trys to make another pass as it does Ryo srpings off the back of tree behind him and lunges at the bird only scratching it and being caught in its talons, he lets out a scream as one of its talons pieces him side. " BAD IDEA BAD IDEA!!!!!!! " he shouts as he soars through the air in the hollows talons, it goes higher into the air and flings him into the air dropping him and then driving down at him trying ot eat him whole. As Ryo starts to fall he points his blade forward and then thrusts it up at the last second piercing the top of the hollows mouth it moving all over and starting to loose control of its direction Ryo quickly pulls to the side trying to make the hollow break its fall. As the two crash into the ground the force of the crash forces Ryo;s blade to finish its cut and slices the hollow in half. Ryo lays on the ground laughing away as the hollow's body fades away.
" Well....thats some thing new.......now if only i could have that entertainment everyday...." he said and laughed more.
-present-
Ryo finishes chewing and sighs. " how we start training it is whats the toughest of all training you may get from me...." he said and takes another bite looking Clyde up and down. " I want you to summon your weapon then deactivate it and summon it again as fast as you can right this second. " he said simply and takes another bite.

"Summoning my weapon multiple times? How hard could that be...I've done it plenty of times already." Clyde thought to himself as he would grasp his weapon firmly between in the hand he was twirling it in. He completely faced Ryo, holding the pole out towards him. He then lifted his left and slowly placed it underneath his right.
"No problem!" Clyde announced as his right arm would begin releasing reiatsu from under the sleeve. As the energy escaped it would begin to completely engulf the pole into the entire object was covered in his gray reiatsu and it's shape began to change from a simple pole into a spear made of energy. It did not take a true solid form, it was as if he was holding a beam of energy in the shape of a spear.
"Alright...step two." He muttered to himself as he twisted his right hand, releasing the energy from the spear and drawing back under his sleeve. For a brief moment the pole was formless as he did it, before it reconstructed itself once his reiatsu completely returned to him.
Without saying anything he would immediately attempt to do it a summon it a second time, the energy he had just recovered removing itself once again from his right arm and circling the pole again, he would encase it with his energy and try and transform it one more time as Ryo had asked.
"Ha, no problem." He said as he finished summoning it again.

Ryo would watch Clyde activate his power then deactivate it and then reactive it again. Watching his spiritual particle consumption and use of them. A sigh would escape his lips as he would then take another bite of a apple,slowly chewing it he as he finished he would slowly start walking past Clyde and sit atop a large rock,slowly pulling out a small bottle of sake. " 4 hours " he would say simply and swallow the piece of apple. " I want you to do what you just did for the next 4 hours, with out stopping. " he would say bluntly and place the apple in his mouth and pull the cork from the bottle and toss it at Clyde telling him to get started and then take the apple from his mouth biting another piece of apple off.

"F-four...hours!?" Clyde almost gagged out, tripping over his own words from the surprise. Clyde was taken off guard, to say the least. He turned around and scratched the back of his head with his left hand, slowly peering his head back over to Ryo. "He can't be series...I mean, what is that gonna accomplish? ...But that stare he's giving me, he's dead series. Just who is this guy, really?" Clyde thought to himself, not saying that aloud.
He sighed, and turned completely around again to face the older man. "Ahem...uhh, right, I'll do it." He finally said after clearing his throat. He raised his spear pointed out towards the scenery in the background, and once again began the process of summoning and desummoning his weapon. Again and again, after about the twelfth go he was already beginning to get frigidity as the monotonous task began began taking more and more effort to do. Ryo's constant chewing of the apple wasn't helping the young boy either, the constant biting and of the fruit was becoming very distracting, and Clyde began regretting giving it to him every passing moment.
He did not stop however, and more time passed as he would continue doing the training exercise. At about the one hour mark the sweat was becoming visible on him now, his breathes were longer as well. "Master...Ryo...uhh, how far in am I?" He asked, hoping to hear a later hour. As he talked he again summoned his weapon, and prepared to de-summon it again. "This is a lot more taxing then I thought it would be...damn." He thought.

Ryo would be laying down on the rock staring at the roof that was disguised as the clouds and a burning hot sun. " One hour, 3 left keep going " he would say almost monotone as he tossed the apple core up and down catching it. " you have improved by 5.3 seconds, don't stop now..and if you think this is really hard im going easy on you since you haven't had most likely a full night sleep with out some disturbance. "he would explain as possibly Clyde would notice himself as he really had gotten slightly faster, but the fact that Ryo knew specifically when he looked so inattentive may further scare Clyde into wondering just who was this drunkard.

"Five point three....How can he tell from just looking at me?" Clyde thought, taken off guard by the man's calm demeanor. "He looks like he's barely paying attention and yet he's already gauged how much faster I am at this...Thus guy is a mysterious one, that's for sure." Despite Clyde wondering about Ryo, he would continue to release and summon his weapon. More and more time would pass, but Clyde had no idea what time it was.
"How am I supposed to know how long I've been doing this for, this background...this scenery never seems to move, it's like permanent mid afternoon! And that sun, it can't be real but I can feel beating on my entire body, like a hot summer day or something." He continued to think to himself, wiping off some sweat from the top of his head. "This is definitely not apart of the reality right up those steps, it's like we're in a whole other dimension."
As time continued to pass Clyde was no longer being slowed down by exhaustion, summoning his weapon was becoming so easy he it was starting to become like second nature. Even the young man could not deny the effect summoning it so many times as had on him, the weapon was no longer a hassle to bring forth.

" 2 hours " Ryo would mutter aloud for Clyde to hear as he finished off this bottle of sake and let out a sigh starting to see a decline in Clyde's performance. " Is that your resolve? get tired cuz you have some work to do? " he would say simply. " You do realize right this moment there are innocent people being harmed and killed destroying lifes of all of those around them because of some thing they can't even see or fight back against...there hopes, there lives rest on your shoulders right now, tho your not alone, that gives you no right to slow down, unless you want to spit on innocent good peoples lives. " he would say trying to give Clyde a bit of motivation to him, after a few moments he figured he would give him a push to really push him.
" Your memories could be locked away in some one elses hands, some one may be out there who just knows who you are, what are you going to do, give up a few steps away from them...what will you do if they are in danger? hrm?...think hard on that and use it " he would say simply hopping to give Clyde a large boost of motivation.

Clyde's eyes narrowed as Ryo spoke his words to him. "I am not letting anyone die, this training isn't going to slow me down, I'd sooner die myself than spit on the grave of an innocent life!" Clyde yelled back, a fiery resolve glimmered in his eyes.
"As long as I can lift this spear, as long as I can draw breath, I won't let anyone die. This is the resolution I have taken, Master Ryo!" His voice was speaking as if from experience, events that he was not even aware of were effecting his judgment. He tightened his grip at this moment, summoning it with a much more powerful wave of reiatsu, forming the weapon almost instantaneously at that moment.
"And I will find whoever may have grasp of my memories...and relinquish it from them, whether they are endanger or my enemy, this power will be the key of getting to them!"
Clyde seemed to be done worrying about the area, or even the time, he had now become completely focused in the summoning of his weapon, no longer was it taxing on his body.

Ryo would smirk and sit up. " Then get to it, double time cmon ya still got two more hours to go " he told Clyde with a twinkle in his eyes as he looked at Clyde resolve. Ryo would begin to watch a bit more intently counting every spiritual particle he was using to see just how he did what he was doing. As he would continue to re-summon his weapon he further got a idea on how exactly he could help Clyde progress the most productive.

Clyde spoke no more for the duration of the next two hours, putting his full intention on his summoning. The going on's around him were insignificant during this time, simple distractions to get in the way, he'd have none of it. As Ryo had encouraged, Clyde doubled up on creating the weapon, doing it as he had always summoned it. First, the reiatsu would escape from his right arm. Second, this reiatsu would engulf the object the boy held in that arm until finally third, the spear of energy was formed with in his hand, replacing the previous object. With close enough inspection, a veteran like Ryo could easily tell that the pole had nothing to do with his power. Ryo could tell that Clyde's actual power was not creating the weapon, but in fact transforming an object into a much more powerful form.
In truth, it was his arm that was the real weapon. Somehow, some way that right arm could change the properties of the objects it held. A very dangerous ability with limitless applications if fully mastered. Clyde himself was unaware, however, of this. He just continued with his summoning until finally the two hours would be up.

A sinister look would appear in Ryo's eyes as he analyzed Clyde power to the fullest seeing exactly how his power worked which was quite interesting but made him a perfect candidate for what he had planned for the future. Clyde power was infinite but limited at the same time.
As the two hours finally ended Ryo would place his hand on Clyde head and chuckle lightly " All done " he said with a gentle smile. " Rest now and catch your breath you deserved it. Your power set is quite clear to me. " he would say and walk a few steps past clyde and turn around. " your a Skill type, meaning, your main ideal is to do the most damage and diverse amount of attacks to clear out any obstacles that presents it self to you. You may be able to use similar power as say the tank type, which allows you to stop dozens of attacks and hits protecting others, or the ranged support, attacking from the side or from afar backing up other attacks, and lastly the damage dealer, who deals out large amounts of damage to the the enemies. " he stop to nod his head and think for a moment letting it all sink it. " These terms im using are all in reference to the battle types found in the spiritual universe, and group combat, you will find many of the large organizations of the spiritual world work in teams and groups. " he said simply with a nod and awaited Clydes response.

Clyde quietly nodded to Ryo as he walked over to a large rock jutting from the ground and took a seat a top of it. "Spiritual universe...a word completely unseen by a regular human." He began to say, looking back over at his teacher. "I know so little about it all. Just what exactly is this other universe, and the people and creatures inside it?"
Clyde would shift his body so that he was looking up towards the false sky in this training area. "I remember the hollows, that's about it." He admitted with a small sigh.
((Sorry for shortness))
