Shiba shakes her head, discomfort obvious in her plain features. “They may be out of range, or...”

Ah, you see now... she has great technical skill, but the Tentei Kūra's range is limited by her degree of spiritual power. She's probably not strong enough to convey her mental orders to all the Shinigami spread throughout the burned quarter of Osaka, meaning that your charges may not have all heard the message.

It also means that while Shiba Kaoru may have a lot of tricks up her sleeve, she may not be able to make full use of them when it comes time to fight that Menos. Looking at Kai it seems that he's got a melee-type Zanpakuto, and he probably has similar strengths and weaknesses to Kaoru: good skill, low overall power.

Damn. You know that Yoruichi hasn't been teaching you to stand on the sidelines at a time like this, but you'd still hoped your first “real” mission would be simpler than this.

>Take your two new friends, clear out the lesser Hollows.
The safety of the students is the priority.
After that, wiping out or at least containing the little hollows will make it easier to deal with the big one. It's slow anyways and it telegraphs its main attack.

>>39201322
>See if Kaoru can order the Onmitsukidō to escort any stragglers.
>That big motherfucker. You want its nose for a trophy.
Kill the biggest thing and the rest will likely scatter
Also that we can only do 40's kido saddens me.Means we can't do Raikōhō

>>39201322

If she doesn't have the range to pass messages, just have the fastest ones in our patrol group relay it to any isolated students.

To the living world? I pretty sure we're already in a part of a city that's just been ravaged by wars. Hence the high number of souls and why trainees were sent to learn how to take them to Soul Society.

>>39201476
Hmmm that gives me an idea...Why don't we lure it into an area where there are some intact buildings and use Tsuriboshi on it? Could tie it up real good

Alright, counting up the votes.

>>39201606

...or impale it on a building?

>>39201611
How do we handle the whole walking on air thing? I thought the quincy ability didn't let you do that.

>>39201606
I'd prefer to pin it's mouth shut if possible. I've seen what they can do.

>>39201322
“Kaoru, was it?” you ask. “Can I add something?”

The student nods, gesturing at you to place your hand on her shoulder. When you do so, your orders are as simple as you can make them: you figure that's how Yoruichi does it, so her Onmitsukidō are probably conditioned to follow orders like that. It takes only a moment to choose your words.

“Onmitsu, let's try and have as many survivors as possible. Any Hollows get in the way? Kill 'em. That's all.”

“You think you two can handle the little ones?” you ask as the spell ends, the inky circles quickly disintegrating on the breeze. Kauru gives you a sarcastic grin.

“Those are 'little' now?”

Kai shrugs. “Don't worry 'bout it. You really think ya can take that big guy on your own?”

“No comment.”

You dig in your feet, preparing to leap into combat as soon as you feel the Menos is in striking range of a lunge with your hirenkyaku. “But if we're gonna live, someone's got to try. So unless you wanna go...”

“Definitely not,” Kai laughs. “I like my chances better here, thanks.”

As the students begin making their way towards the gate back to the Soul Society, you see that the bigass Hollow is right at the edge of your range...

Maximum slowness! It'll never catch up to the students and we have a big weakness to easily abuse to win.

If we're going with someone going "Just as planned" then this incident might've been instigated by the Omaeda clan to discredit Riku on her first assignment.

That would be political suicide. There is at least one person who is apart of a major clan in this operation.

>>39202157
So this works, right? Not too sure of the rules

2 critfails and a crit success. is that a pass? do we get to not be stomped on?

>>39202198
It's the best of 3 different rolls. So the crit success is what is going to be used.

>>39202198
I don't think critfails are a thing? Well, unless it's like 1, 1, 1

>>39202246
Crit fails are. A crit fail is not one success in all three sets.

So for this all rows being lower than the DC of seven in all fields. At least that's how brine did it.

>>39202235

sweet.

>>39202246

3 rolls under DC is critfail. 2 under DC is fail. 1 under DC is success. all above DC is crit success.

>>39201755
Between you and the Menos are two huge Hollows, easily several times your size. With a roar Kai engages the one on the left and Kaoru the one on the right, leaving you room between them to advance towards the bigger threat beyond them. As you pass you see that you were right about their skills: Kai uses the rounded surface of his shield, the tinbe, to deflect the massive force of what would otherwise be a fatal blow from his Hollow. With that opening he steps in and thrusts his short spear, or rochin, into his enemy's face before giving it a twist in the wound. The result is that the Hollow's mask neatly separates in two, and with a scream it dissipates into thin air.

You can't really get a good read on Kaoru's fighting technique: a quick strike on one side of her opponent's body causes a weird vibration that hurts your ears, and a quick reversal of her still-vibrating polearm sets up a sweeping slash that seems to part the Hollow's massive head like it's nothing more than a fish on a chopping board. There must be something more to it than that...

But for now, you're more concerned with the glowing red aura collecting in front of the mouth of the Menos' giant porcelain mask. That can't be good.

“No you don't!” you shout as you leap through the air, covering hundreds of feet in a single stride. “Bakudō 10, Hōrin!”

From your left hand erupts a ball of angry orange light, which extends in a writing spiked tendril towards its target. At the last second you quickly wrap the tendril as securely as you can manage around the comically-pointed nose and chin of the Menos' mask, securing it for now and preventing it from unleashing whatever attack that was.

Almost.
(1/2)

>>39202143
Whenever you say something like "You're outclassed" or "very difficult", we crit, what gives?

>>39202371
The blast was probably well beyond the point of being able to stop at just any time. Instead the Menos unleashes the attack anyway, straight into the back of its own teeth. It doesn't QUITE contain the full force, and a part of the blast catches your wrist even as you return to Kai and Kaoru with a hirenkyaku step. But it DOES manage to blow all of the massive Hollow's teeth out, consequently breaking your bakudō in the process.

You spare a glance at your left arm, which is burned and steaming from a little below your elbow on down to your fingertips.

“That could've gone better,” you mutter as the Menos lets out a strangled, wavering cry. It's so loud you think your ears might start bleeding.

“I thought you said you were gonna kill it, not piss it off!” Kaoru shouts angrily as she bisects another Hollow. Though she's got the energy to yell at you, she's panting from the exertion already.

Kai laughs as he narrowly avoids being crushed by another attack. “Oh, common, sis! She got it ta blast half its own damn face off, that shit's great and you know it!”

Your arm is in rough shape, but it could be worse. And you can probably still use it. But this giant Hollow... it feels like it's gotten stronger in its rage. Like a cornered animal that knows the alternatives are victory or death.

The tinbe and rochin were used in Rurouni Kenshin, yes. I also really like Okinawan weapons, so you'll see more of those. As for Kaoru, kinda. I was watching Trust and Betrayal when I came up with her name.

>>39202782
So close.

Still, could be worse.

>>39202803

Expected, a high DC. Offense is only a 3.

Probably combo or blast would have been a little better, lower DC.

>>39202857
Yeah. You'll survive the attempt, and do some significant damage, but it's gonna be rough. Your enemy's raw power is kind of intense for a rookie like Riku, but so far you've managed to deal with it quite well.

>>39202883
Gotta get them stat boosts. Push it to the limit, yo. The Heart and all that.

NEVER GIVE UP, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.

>>39202405
“Can't stop now,” you grunt, flexing your burned fingers to test their grip before balling them into a fist. “I'm gonna shatter its mask. Can you hold out a little while longer?”

Kai grunts back at you as he severs a regular-sized Hollow's arm with the edge of his spear. “Sure, go get all the glory why dontcha!?”

Right, you suppose from him that's the closest you'll ever get to a straight answer. Guys like that never say what they mean. Kaoru is too busy blocking a blow from a Hollow that was aimed for a nearby first-year to reply, but you get the sense she's ready to see this dumb brute go down, same as you.

“Alright, here goes!”

Another dash through the air brings you into striking distance of the Menos' face. One punch... you'll settle this in one punch...

But the Menos has other plans. Your sword connects with its mask in a powerful strike, and the punch that connects with its spine like a hammer striking a wedge is enough to spiderweb the porcelain surface and lift foot-wide flakes off it in places. Unfortunately, its head is already in motion. Its slow but powerful headbutt halts your progress and sends you careening into the ground, where you crush the remains of an old house. Though you're momentarily stunned it doesn't hurt as bad as you'd think... until a giant, stony foot comes crashing down on you.

You only just manage to block it with Tenkotsuki's blade as the Menos tries to crush you beneath its foot. As your arms strain to keep its massive weight from killing you outright, you think you see you own veins popping out from the sheer amount of force you're exerting just to try and keep yourself alive. You've gotta wonder how your bones haven't snapped like kindling.

Guess what? We will become stronger as a result.

>>39202900
Well, at the very least we're distracting it and keeping collateral to a minimum. Hopefully we can hold out long enough for backup to arrive.

Reminds of that bit where Gin stabs the shit out of a whole bunch of hollows, really.

Biggest issue really is training I guess.

We also have a very complex sword, so don't have that compared to other people who may be seated. Next round should use mobility and Kido on it.

It depends if Ichigo getting hauled into his inner world every time he was on the brink of death was something any soul reaper could do or just something unique to him and Zangetsu.

I'm way more scared of getting medical attention than I am of this oversized blob of Hollows.

And we do have a Shikai, it's even unsealed, technically. She's kinda a stubborn bint who won't let us access her abilities until she thinks we're ready.

>>39203377
This thing... it's crushing you to death.

From this position you can't generate any more force with your sword than what you're already giving it, and if you move your left arm from the spine of your blade you'll be crushed to death in an instant. The only kidō you can use here is the Ōkasen, Hadō 32... but if you take the time to give the full incantation, your left arm may give out from your injuries anyway. And you'll still be crushed.

But this is your only option, and if there's one thing you can't accept it's that you'd be beaten like this.

“Hadō 32, Ōkasen!” you roar, as Tenkotsuki's edge erupts with a powerful yellow arc of energy that lifts the bony foot up off of you... and continues, slicing clean through the Menos all the way out through it's shoulder.

Seeing your chance you push your way clear of the beast with a hirenkyaku as Kai and Kaoru stare in shock at your condition. Heh, you must really look like hell.

Not finished yet you turn over your shoulder, staring down the Menos as it reels in agony from the blast that was far more powerful than it had any right to be.

You can't help but grin as you extend your burned arm towards your target, gathering a brilliant, raging red flame at your palm. “Hadō 31, Shakka Hō.”

The red flame cannon fires with such force that it whips dust and dirt around the street where you're standing, and the shot races towards the Menos' battered mask.

>3d10 perception, DC 6.

>>39203623

She gave Riku the form so she could learn to use it.

With 0 power access, may as well not be a shikai though

I wonder, Seeing that a Menos is a few thousand hollows fused together into one being, does killing it mean a mass import of people into rukongai?

Or would it be a single Incredibly powerful shinigami power soul that enters?

Isn't she squad 7 at this point in time? Who is the healer squad captain?

I don't know the timeline.

I have no idea which one is mine.

>>39203689
Noo, why didn't you roll 6 seconds earlier?

>>39203677
Well it was bound to happen after all our recent successes.

>>39203711
Literally 1 away from the worst possible roll.

>>39203719
It would have been a different result anyway, this guy though >>39203673 probably would have succeeded if they rolled the right number of dice.

>>39203689
anon, you were too late...

So, seeing as it's a perception fail either we missed the target or we fail to notice a large hole leaking Hollows... or that Hollow creaping up behind us... or that the Menos is going to fall on the rookies...

>>39203754
Betrayal by our teammates?

Is it keikaku time?

It is always keikaku time.

>>39203655
There's no way that's an un-incanted spell... its power is absolutely beyond what you should have been able to manage. Same with the earlier spell, which nearly split the Menos in half from the foot up.

As the spell you've cast pulverizes the Hollow's mask without even giving it a chance to scream in retort, you're left wondering exactly how the hell you did that. Or rather, how exactly Tenkotsuki helped you do that. Was that... her first technique?

Kaoru and Kai stare at you in obvious surprise.

“How did you manage that?” Kaoru demands as the last of the smaller Hollows is taken down by one of the Onmitsu you came here with. “Forget that, how are you still STANDING!?”

Looking down at yourself you realize she's right: you're covered in burns and blood from a point-blank spell as powerful as that Ōkasen, and most of the bones in your body should be broken.

>I don't know?
>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

So if the whole vizard incident happens does are we planning to stay or leave with yoruchi? My vote is that we leave.

>>39203808
>>Other?
"Who the hell do you think I am?"

>>39203808
>>39203831
10/10 supporting

>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

>>39203808
>>I don't know?

Do not do the last one. We still have Blut. Let's not have it known we still have our quincy techs.

>>39203808
>>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though

>>39203808
OH SHIT WE'RE USING Ransōtengai AREN'T WE!?
>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

>>39203808
Seconnd

>>39203825
My vote's on staying and being her informat.

I'll go with >>39203831

>>39203858
Ransotengai lets us movshed, we Use Blut vein which uses spiritual pressure to turn our skin into living armor, gives us a massive defense buff, like if we master it a captain would need a bankai to cut us more often than not.

>>39203808
>>39203831
I was about to vote for the blut, but this. Reputation as shinigami Kamina - in the stealth corps - is Yes.

>>39203888
Blut can be used defensively or offensively.

>>39203831
This is much better than the rest

>>39203825
Obviously staying and being Her inside informant/Waiting for her to return

>>39203888
>>39203858

All I'm getting from this is keep our fucking mouth shut.

>>39203808
>>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

Probably need to talk to captain when we get back.

Either blut if we are not broken apart, or puppet strings depending on how damaged we are.

>>39203831
I'm am so backing this

It's around 200 years before canon start.

Unohana has been the Captain of the fourth for a while, at least centuries, maybe a couple thousand years, it's never mentioned exactly when she switched over. We may very well not be aware that she is the former first Captain of the 11th.

I think we're currently on Kenpachi #10 and Zaraki will be showing up at some point.

>>39203712

she was the worst criminal ever before Yamamoto organized the shinigami into a proper army, and created squad 11, a.k.a. Team Murderhobo.

then Kidpachi scarred her neck and she totally got a massive boner from it and then left 11 for 4, which is for healing people and stuff. someone else took 11, and then adult Kenpachi killed him and took his place.

since she's being all Stepford Smile, I'm guessing this is after she transitioned to 4.

>>39203918
But I don't want to be Soi Fon..

>>39203808
>I don't know?
>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

>>39203918
Why would you want to stay in soul society? If it comes out we still have our quincy techs one of two things will happen. One we will either be killed by order of that council of assholes. Two What's his name will dissect us.

>>39203808
>Probably my sword. I have no idea what that vixen did, though.

"I should probably get some medical attention soon. How's the evac going?"

>>39203936
Soi Fon was not her inside informant nor was she waiting for her to come back,She hated her for leaving her behind remember?

>>39203831
>>39203808

Yes I would like to pierce the heavens.

>>39203936
Didn't Soi Fon have a cameo last thread? It might be interesting interacting with her.

>>39203952
Mayuri a shit, unless he is in a scientist death battle, then he a best.

>>39203969
No. I watched like the first season. Maybe the second so honestly I've got barebones understanding. I just love Kings quests. Hell I follow his Gundam thing and I've only seen the original series and seed.

>>39203952

whatsisname isn't a captain yet. shit, I'm not even sure if Urahara even created the Research Corps at this point.

speaking of which, I totally want to be a part of that division.

>>39203913
yeah but we used vein not arterie

>>39203983
>Didn't Soi Fon have a cameo last thread?
Uh no i don't think that happened yet.....
Mwuhahahahahah! We were here before Soi Fon! We're Yoruichi's favorite!

>>39203808
So, initial guess is that our Shikai let's us skip incantations entirely? That's pretty damn strong.

>>39203994
Not having watched Zeta, ZZ or all of Unicorn and trying to keep up with that quest is suffering.

>>39203969
Staying behind is a really bad idea. It runs the risk of us still having quincy abilities being found out.

>>39203983
>Mayuri a shit, unless he is in a scientist death battle, then he a best.
He's not going to play fair. So we run the risk of him dissecting us if we aren't a captain.

>>39203995
I said when the vizard incident happens. I really don't see a reason to stay if Yoruchi isn't.

>>39204024
No, I think she was mentioned. She's definitely in the pastebin further up.

>>39203913
Strictly speaking, blut is a skill class with only two known techniques - blut vene(defense) and blut arterie(offense) - under its umbrella.

>>39204024
I know her family was mentioned. The Feng clan or some such right?

>>39204041
Yes.

>>39203913

only Ywach has been seen using it offensively. I'm gonna go ahead and assume we won't be doing it awhile.

We'll pierce the heavens, won't we?

>>39203888
Yeah let's not mention that

Being a shinigami with quincy techniques paints a target on Riku's back in big red letters.

>>39204079
No he isn't. The one dude that tried to keep Ichigo from helping used it offensively.

>>39204079
Didn't Opie use arterie?

>>39204115
He did.

>>39204053
I'd really like to cockblock his dissecting of Quincy's though (not sure what kind of consequences that has when Quincy Stalin gets resurrected since I stopped following the manga).

So if we get vizard'd we're almost to ichithing status... any thought on how to get the other stuff?

>>39204136
I feel like when we see that or even hear about it....Well let's just say it won't be pretty.....
>Captcha:orage
Yes captcha rage indeed....

>>39204106
>>39204115

yeah, I confused it with Anhaben.sorry.

>>39204115

Opie was more competent and dangerous then the ones who attacked soul society too.

>>39204136
The only way we could do that is if we were in charge of his division. Which I doubt will happen simply because we wouldn't have the knowledge for it. Staying in soul society would be suicide at that point.

>>39203995

I believe that Urahara is still the Captain of the Detention Corps with Science still being a personal hobby of his...

>>39204136

Be better to have them watched so SS might know when they come back in force instead of wiping them all out.

>>39204177
OH SHIT I JUST HAD AN IDEA!
What if we brought up an idea of a science division to him....Jokingly or not of course

>>39204169
Opie was just epic on all levels. Even if he did occasionally impersonate innocent librarians.

I have no fucking idea as to what everyone is talking about.

>>39204139
I'm honestly fine with just staying what we are. Shinigami with some odd Quincy heritage, I sort of hope our Bankai gives us a bow that shoots hyper powered Hado or some shit.

>>39204172
There's always a chance we could figure out what was going on mortal side if we end up ditching SS because fuck that bullshit. Kurotsuchi mostly relied on holding back reinforcements and letting hollows kill Quincy for him to study so that could be messed with at least. Not much we can do once they're dead though.

Yeah I'm going to have to go with not staying. Our abilities would most likely be discovered unless we are stupidly lucky due to how much we would be watched because of our relationship with Yoruchi.

>>39204267
Let Byakuyga know what he did. Dude is a big stickler for rules.

>>39203808
You spit out a little glob of blood from your mouth. “Just who the hell do you think I am?”

Kai offers a laugh as he leans against his shield, his left arm completely covered in bruises. “I don' think it's a who. More ova 'what', y'know?”

“I have the answer to both,” Yoruichi offers from somewhere behind you. “She's my idiot pupil, and she got herself all beaten up.”

“You should see the other guy,” you shrug nonchalantly.

Yoruichi grins manically at you. “I did... tall, dark, and stupid, right?”

“We handled the situation, ma'am,” Kaoru insists, trying to hide how tired she is, “though I must thank you for your concern.”

“Oh really? So I take it you can handle that one too, can'tcha?” your Captain smiles, pointing to a second Menos as it glares at you through the same hole in the sky.

Kaoru makes a strange, strangled little noise as Kai falls off his shield. “There's two ah those damn things? The hell? Today's jus' not my day, is it!?”

Quite the contrary, you think. He's still alive, and now from the look of it he's about to see your Captain in action. He should consider himself fortunate.

That's Blut Arterie which boosts offense at the cost of lowering defense. Yhwach can make his blut vene extend outside his body and even crawl up the bodies of his enemies.

What I'm saying is, no matter how weak he seems or how small his facial hair, don't fight Yhwach.

Pretty sure no shinigami cares about the well-being of quincies, seeing how they're even more anathema to them than hollows are.

>>39204245

Who's Opie?

>>39204267

>>39204330
>Just let her do her thing.
See to the evacuation of the students and the welfare of the Patrol Group in this mission.
And get patched up. Begrudgingly.

Also, a question: We just killed a Menos with kidou. Does doing so purify the soul and automatically sent it to Soul Society, or does purification necessitate solely using the Zanpaktou (whether by Soul Burial or hack and slash)?

I think you underestimate how much Soul Society values strong allies/tools. If they were willing to put up with Ichigo's existence as a soul reaper + hollow combo, they can stomach a soul reaper + hollow combo that works directly under them. I really doubt we'll be staying in SS when Yoruichi leaves unless she dumps us Soi Fon style though.

>>39204490
I hope she does. I think I'm the only one that wants to see us play off of Soi Fon and her personal issues.

This suave mofo. Quilge Opie, 'The Jail'.
Took on the Tres Bestia, Chad, Orihime and Nel at once, handed them their collective asses and started absorbing their existence like de-sanrei-gloved Ishida noms the Seiretei, got punked from behind by an entirely serious Urahara, and still managed to make everyone look like an idiot as a last hurrah... until he got bisected.

Seems like our injuries are a bit more serious than we thought...

>>39204718
perhaps rather than actually binding it, we draw it's attention. After all a momentary distraction should be enough for the Captain to gank the Menos...

>>39204748
It sounds like something interesting happens at least.

>>39204795
One can only hope. Juicy character interaction with the whole "I killed a favored subordinate in my former life" thing hanging over it, awww yeah.

I'm guessing we pass out or something but the vixen still gets to show off.

No seriously guys,What does it mean?

>>39204664
As Yoruichi turns to face the second Menos you try to lift your arms... but your right arm won't do it. It feels like it weighs a ton, and the fingers on your left hand won't extend properly.

Still, you force yourself. You don't want to be helpless... you refuse to feel helpless again.

“Bakudō 10, Hōrin!” you shout, the tendril of energy lancing out past Yoruichi as she begins her assault. The Hollow's mouth opens wide to fire a beam at your Captain, only to have its jaws slammed shut just like the first one.

And this time, just for an instant, you feel like you can hear Tenkotsuki's voice with a familiar pattern of words as your spell is unleashed.

Yoruichi gives a loud shout, cocking back her fist. “IKKOTSU!”

And with that one punch, she manages what it took you several tries to do: she blasts the Menos' mask into shards and dust and thick, black blood.

Then your head hits the ground, the last of your energy having been spent.
(1/2)

>>39204876

so, it seems that the increased power is due to the spell being cast twice then, or at least that Tenkotsuki enhances it.

>>39204876
"... where am I?" you mutter, your vision still darkened.

Instead of Yoruichi's voice, you hear a different woman speak. Calm, smooth tones seething with hatred can only mean one person: Captain Unohana.

"Please do not struggle, this is a delicate procedure," she informs you calmly. "I would hate to accidentally end the life of someone's subordinate..."

Oh shit. Oh shit. Ohsitohshitohshit... don't move. Don't move. Sit still, Riku, you got this.

"My everything hurts," you moan quietly.

"There there," she replies tenderly, sweetly, and yet somehow viciously. "I'll put your misery at an end soon enough."

"How's she doing, Retsu?" Yoruichi asks.

"Her body is surprisingly resilient. She should be up in a moment."

You can hear Yoruichi sigh. "That's good. Hey, Riku? Try not to nearly kill yourself next time you wanna show off for me, okay?"

You do your best to mutter your agreement. "How many?"

As your eyes open, you can see your Captain visibly tense. "Three members of the Kidō Corps, and the two Fēng brothers were killed, along with seven students. Were it not for you three, and for the Onmitsu's help, it would have been worse."

"There's already gonna be an inquiry tomorrow. Sorry, but you'll probably be called to testify before the Captains."

it was a fire spell, and kitsune are often depicted as having power over it. so yeah, probably.

we can experiment later on which spells it works with.

>What exactly went wrong down there?
Like what even killed the Feng brothers if we occupied the attention of the Menos?

>>39205174
Obviously they were total scrublords.

>>39205022
>Sorry, but you'll probably be called to testify before the Captains.
"Speaking of, do they all know... the kind of woman I used to be? Or have you and Captain Unohana been keeping that private?"

>>39205022
>Did I do the right thing?

>>39205174
Either they were scrubs or another Menos.

Oh god I want to do this but I know it's a bad idea.

“Did I... do the right thing?” you wonder aloud.

Yoruichi sighs, squatting next to you. “Riku, you had no authority to give any orders at all. That said, I'm glad you did: they were exactly right.”

“Sometimes you can do everything right and still lose people,” she tells you, a trace of sad honesty in her tone. “That's how this job works. You saved as many people as you could, and took down an enemy nobody else could. Nobody's gonna hold it against you.”

“So what went wrong?” you press.

You recall the Hollow lizard you saw... and that feeling of dread. No doubt that was the first thing Kai or Kaoru told your Captain when she demanded to know why you were covered in burns and blood, because that's how she starts her explanation.

“That feeling you had probably had something to do with the three Kidō Corps guys we found,” she explained. “They were torn up with huge bite-marks, like a crocodile or somethin'. I figure it was a Hollow that could hide its spiritual presence.”

Unohana shifts somewhat uneasily, having likely come to the same troubling conclusion. “Such a thing...” she mutters.

After a few minutes Yoruichi helps you haul yourself to your feet. Looking around you can tell that the rest of the students are already gone. “Your friends took the students back to the dorms,” Yoruichi tells you, preempting your question. “And now I've gotta go tell the Fēng family what happened. I hate this part of the job.”

>I should come along. I was there, I gave the orders.
>Maybe I should stay out of it.
>Other

Also, pick one or neither:
>I'm starved. Let's go eat and get drunk afterward. It'll be my first time, you can laugh at me. It'll be great.
>See you back at barracks, or something?

As bad as it sounds, it's probably something we should get used to.
