Kaiyo had never expected to be the best at Kidou, she decided early on at the academy that she would focus here energy on more important aspects of fighting, such as speed or sword skill. However it took a while for Kaiyo to admit that Kidou was an important aspect of combat, and a useful tool, despite how little she wanted it to be.
Kaiyo had a plan, she would master the easy effective spells of Kidou and not attempt the harder long incantation ones. The girl had done her research and had with her a list of all the spells she wanted to learn or rather master.
It was a Sunday and while most students stayed in bed relaxing all day, Kaiyo had training, she had stuffed all of her sheets into her bag, along with her small bottle of water and she had brought her Zanpaktou just in case; she also liked the weight of it at her side. The final object in her bag was quite unusual, it was a small training dummy the girl had bought last week.
Kaiyo had decided to go to her shunpo field again, she felt calmer there than she would have had she chosen the academy training grounds.
The sun seemed to be shining down extra bright today, it filled Kaiyo with confidence as she jogged her way to the field. Kaiyo reached field and slowed her jog to a stroll, she walked to the middle of the field and put her bag down. She pulled out the small training dummy and after some assembly, put it a few paces away from where she was standing. Kaiyo pulled out the first sheet from her bag and decided she would try without the incantation, what was the worst that could happen?
'Way of destruction 1, Shō!' Kaiyo called, with her feet steady on the ground and her palm out flat. At first nothing happened and Kaiyo re-read the sheet.She was determined to do the spell without the incantation, she focused her mind and energy to the flat palm of her hand and called it again,'Way of destruction 1, Shō!', this time Kaiyo was thrown backwards, she rolled across the hard ground moaning in pain, 'How does that even happen?'. Kaiyo got up slowly, rubbing the leg she had landed on. She frowned and returned to her first position. This time making a conscious effort to attempt to throw her energy at the target dummy (who at that moment appeared to be laughing at Kaiyo), 'last time or i give up' she said emptily knowing how stubborn she was. 'Way of destruction 1, Shō!' this time the dummy was pushed back a few metres, but for Kaiyo's plan to truly work she would need the full effect of the spell, she continued with this spell for another hour until finally in her last attempt of shouting 'Way of destruction 1, Shō!', the practice dummy flew backwards in the air.
Next spell, she smiled to herself with a little bob of head.'Way of binding 1, Sai!' seriously what the hell!screamed the girl after once again she was propelled across the floor bumping her bum along the ground until she stopped. Kaiyo stormed over to the practice dummy and kicked it in the head, it felt good. The blonde girl sighed and fall back down on the grass, she hated Kido.
