Three months.

And so three months passed. Yes you heard me right. Three months I was stuck on that machine. I didn’t care at first, the progress each day was noticeable. I also didn’t care much about the attack from the Arrancar. Their existence itself was a bit of a shock to me but after having the whole story explained to me by Kensei, the only guy amongst the bunch I respected (Likely because he is of a similar character to me), including the true story of what happened a hundred years ago I was informed enough.

What happened that eventually made me piss at the workout? Well, a certain orange menace burst in one day. First he demanded that they taught him, then they fought. I saw what happened to a person that lost control for the first time and I got to say that I genuinely scary. What then pissed me off is that he got on the ‘Hiyori Walker’ and after only a day freaked the fuck out and threw it at Hiyori, saying that he could easily stay on it another five days.

Five days? Really? What the fuck was wrong with that guy? I remembered an offhand comment of Urahara about his parents. What were they, a captain and a high-ranking Quincy? I mean really, five days? While he was getting on with the suppression technique, because what I assume is Japanese privilege or something, I was stuck on the squeaking machine, because throwing the good one had completely broken it.

To sum it all up: Ichigo is a person with ridiculous power and I was getting a bit pissed at the fact the he got to skip hundreds of years of training. Then again, so did I with the Bankai puppet thingy. I still don’t know why we don’t mass produce these things.

Whatever may be the case, I finally managed to stay on the ‘Hiyori Walker’ for three consecutive days.

“And, stop.” Hirako said and clicked a stopwatch. I fell backwards of the machine and lied on the ground, drenched in sweat. I wished the sleeve of my uniform across me forehead to prevent the stuff from getting into my eyes. “Congratulations, you finally did it…you are by far the worst one of everyone who ever had to do it but hey.”

I did have slightly less talent and power before the hollowfication, mister former captain, but I kept that to myself. “What now?” “I think you know the answer.” He pointed at the side room where the beds stood. Oh, I knew the answer. What I also knew is that I hadn’t fought or fucked anything in three months and with the training finally done I was not about to let that continue.

“Care to join me?” I asked. “Wha-? Well, I did not expect that but I can’t refuse you now can I?” Hiyori said with a sigh, “Well, nobody can resist me anyway. I mean…” “Ehm, sorry, I was talking to Lisa.” Hiyori shut down, “I KNEW THAT!” She shouted and smacked me across the face.

Note to self, put on the other earring before talking to these lunatics again. Lisa looked up from the porn magazine she was reading. “Okay.” Was all she said, but her eyes displayed a debauched curiosity about what I would do to her.
