Animeverse Slayer!

"You kids are way too early."

Leo grumbled at Ichigo and company who were standing outside his door with an awkward smile.

"Let it be. Come on in."

He gave way and let them inside.

Shinobu had just finished making breakfast when they entered. She smiled at them.

"There's not much, make do with it."

Rukia hastily waved her hand and said, "It's ok. It's ok. We ate before we came."

Shinobu smiled and gestured for them to sit down. Leo took a seat next her and started to eat.

The room fell into an awkward silence.

After a stifling breakfast Uryuu found a chance and asked, "Teacher, where should we start?"

Leo gestured for them to follow him. There was a small garden behind their house. He led them there before speaking to Uryuu.

"Tell me more about your Quincy abilities and techniques, no, scratch that, just do a live one. Shoot me."

"Eh? Huh?"

Uryuu didn't comprehend his words for a second and stood in his spot frozen.

"He is asking you to shoot him with your arrows."

Rukia nudged him and whispered.

Uryuu woke up and immediately gathered his spiritual energy. A bow pulsing with spiritual energy appeared in his hand. He tugged on it's string.

An arrow condensed on it's string. Uryuu closed his eyes for a second and opened them. The arrow he was pulling pulsed for a moment.

Hm...

Leo spread out his spiritual sense. He was analyzing how Uryuu's technique worked. Though the "Will" he imbued into his arrow was negligible, it still packed a punch with the overall working of his technique.

Hm!

Uryuu gathered as much spiritual energy as he can and imbued it with his "Will" before letting the string loose.

Everyone only saw a flash. When they looked over at Leo, they saw an arrow hovering in front of him.

The spiritual energy in it's body pulsed as it tried to inch closer to Leo.

Uryuu and the rest weren't all that surprised by how easily Leo stopped the attack.

Leo raised his hand and grabbed the arrow. The moment he touched it the arrow broke into countless specks of light.

He looked at Uryuu and said, "Your Quincy bloodline is wonderful. Normally any weapon made from spiritual energy lacks when it's compared to one forged through fire."

"However your bloodline adds a special element that covers this hole. Your arrows are in now way inferior to a physical weapon."

Uryuu nudged his glasses. He didn't show it on his face, but he looked a bit proud.

"Tsk."

Ichigo clicked his tongue when he saw the proud look on Uryuu's face.

Uryuu ignored him and asked, "So...

Leo smiled, "What I am saying is, your weapon's potential to grow is very high. Every weapon has a limit, it can only contain a certain amount of your intent or "Will" before it breaks down."

"Take me for example, my sword's grade is very high. That's why I can imbue a terrifying amount of my spiritual energy as well my "Will" on it without it breaking down."

"Your bow and arrow also has a limit, but that limit is being reset as you grow. Theoretically speaking, there is no limit to how much spiritual energy and "Will" you can imbue into your weapon."

Damn.

Everyone stared at Uryuu. For a moment they were envious of him.

Suddenly Ichigo asked, "Hey, what about my zanpakuto?"

Leo replied, "It's also a high grade weapon. And like Uryuu's weapon, it also has no limit."

"Haha."

Ichigo laughed a bit and looked smugly at Uryuu. The latter ignored him and listened.

Leo saw their competition and smiled.

"Let's get started. Uryuu, your task is simple."

He crossed his finger and made a gesture. Spiritual energy spilled out of him and formed a golden wall. There was a small cross hair mark at it's center.

"Fire arrows imbued with your intent till your spiritual energy runs dry. Take your time and feel carefully before you fire every arrow."

Uryuu pointed at the spiritual wall and asked, "Will it break?"

Leo smiled faintly, "If it breaks down, you can finish for the day."

"Both of you still haven't totally tapped into your own powers, especially you, Orihime."

Orihime was surprised.

Leo smiled, "Your ability is very... special. I really look forward to how much it will grow in the future."

He turned towards Chad, "Your ability is quite straightforward. However since your spiritual energy is quite low, it's better for you to learn to micro-control it."

Saying this he strode forward and picked up a blade of grass.

"Watch carefully."

He threw the blade of grass.

Ssh!

Everyone only saw a flash.

Everyone stared at the hole on the concrete floor with wide eyes.

"I didn't use my "Will", just a bit of spiritual energy. The key lies in control. Do you understand?"

Chad nodded for a second before shaking his head.

Leo smiled, "That's fine. You'll get a hang of it with practice. Let's get started."

He was about to start with them when Ichigo raised his hand. He pointed to himself and asked.

"Hey, include me as well."

Leo shook his head, "Like I said before, understand your own power, then come to me."

Ichigo asked, "I don't understand. Aren't I using it already? And what do you mean by three powers co-existing within my body?"

Since the kid will just keep annoying him Leo explained, "As far as I understand the three powers inside you correspond to a shinigami, a Quincy and a hollow."

When everyone heard Leo they were startled. Rukia couldn't help but say.

"Impossible. There is no way such a thing could happen. Shinigamis and hollows are opposite entities. How can they coexist within someone? Not to mention there is also the Quincy bloodline."

Leo shrugged, "I don't know either. But that's the truth. He didn't acquire this power, rather, he was born with it."

"What does that mean?"

Ichigo asked.

Uryuu pondered for a moment and said, "Your parents, one of them must be a shinigami while the other must be a mix of a Quincy and a hollow. Or it could be the other way."

"Either way, you are a unique existence."
