Chapter 215: Kisuke's new invention

(Ryoto's pov)

Everyone except Tessai was in the 'training room'. Tessai was busy with stuff. I don't know what stuff, but we were never that close, to begin with, so I didn't ask.

"So why did you call us here?" I asked Kisuke, who was standing proudly in front of us.

I was curious because Kisuke seldom does something without reason. If he does, then you are not seeing the whole picture.

"Well, Ryoto, my dear friend. The news about your dream traveled across the land, and as the good friend that I am, I wanted to grant you this wish." His show-off side is showing.

"OK, where's the pony?"

"Right here." He moved to the side, revealing a pony made of lollipops.

...I wasn't expecting it, but I'm not going to complain.

"You truly know me well!"

Even if Kisuke summoned us here for something stupid, I wouldn't be mad. I have one week off and plan to spend some time in the living world to see how Isamu and his family are doing. I didn't visit them in some time. I wonder if I should buy some presents.

As I was about to start licking the candy horse, Rin pulled me by the collar.

"Don't eat it. You don't know where it was before. And don't take candies from strangers."

After all these years, she still doesn't like him, but why is my happy time interrupted because of it?

"Jokes aside, I called all of you here because of this!" He broke the candy pony to reveal a human-shaped object.

At first, I felt despair at breaking the lollipop masterpiece, but as soon as I saw the object inside, my mood switched faster than Italy changing sides during a war.

"How did you manage to fit that thing inside?" Rin asked, dumbfounded by the situation. I, on the other hand, ignored it because of the early Christmas present.

"Scien-" Kisuke was about to answer, but Rin interrupted him.

"And if you say science, I'm going to connect your face to a toilet seat."

A powerful threat if I do say so myself.

After that, Kisuke started pondering, and with a raised finger, he said.

"Magic~"

At that, Rin was ready to pull out her sword, but I stopped her.

"Why don't you explain what this... thing does?" I asked. It would be strange if I knew what it did after all. At this, Kisuke looked at me without saying anything as of he was judging my reaction, but soon he returned to his carefree self.

"This little thing is called Tenshintai. This man-sized doll forcibly materializes the spirit of Zanpakuto into our world when stabbed by said Zanpakuto. In doing so, it facilitates the user in subjugating the spirit and attaining Bankai."

Rin's and Yoruichi's eyes went wide.

"Where was this thing when I trained for my Banaki!?"

"In work" Was the only answer Yoruichi got.

Kisuke then proceeded to explain more about his invention.

"I haven't tested it just yet, but according to my research, it would be dangerous to train for more than 3 days. This method is literally subjugating the Zanpakuto spirit, and they wouldn't let you do it so easily. It can depend on the spirit's personality, but that's the general rule.

I assume that after 3 days, the Zanpakuto would rebel against its user, and that's why if you're not able to finish your training in time, someone is needed to use this button..." Kisuke showed a single button that he took out of his pocket.

"...and forcefully stop materialization. That's why training alone is not recommended."

He finally ended his explanation only to add a few last words. I think he did it on purpose.

"I was planning on testing it myself first, but do you want to do the honors?"

He asked me, and for some reason, it seemed like I was making a deal with the devil, which is ironic since I had the ability of Lucifer himself. Shame that I can't use it for now.

(E/D: What is it that you desire? Come tell me.)

'You hear that, Zangetsu? We are going to achieve Bankai!'

I probably sounded pretty smug. After over 20 years of asking for at least starting to train for Bankai and nothing coming out of it, I need to use more drastic methods.

"Jacob, don't do it. You are not ready."

Surprisingly he didn't sound angry. He was talking as if he was stating a fact.

'You're hiding something, Zangetsu. I knew it for a long, long time. I wasn't forcing you to say what it was becoming behind your tsundere act. I know that you try looking after me and won't do anything too troublesome, but I need to gain strength as fast as possible before I meet Aizen. Otherwise, I will need to play around him and not the other way around.'

"..." There was silence. Zangetsu didn't say anything, but after a short while, the only thing he said was, "Don't regret it."

Menacing. I don't know what he meant, but at least I've got his consent.

I opened my eyes and took out my sword. Nothing needed to be said as my actions were speaking for themselves.

Kisuke understating this, held Tenshintai in place so I could stab it.

As my sword entered the strange doll, it vanished from my hand.

I didn't need to look around to know where Zangetsu was. For some reason, he likes to hide behind buildings, trees, boulders, and anything really. He loves his dramatic entrances.

"You can come out, Zangetsu."

From behind the boulder, Zangetsu came out, but his signature smirk was gone, and he looked extremely serious. It usually isn't a good sign.

"So this is your Zanpakuto spirit," Rin commented.

"I don't know what I expected but this was not it." Yoruichi added, but I was focused on something entirely different.

Behind Zangetsu, I could see another silhouette. Shorter than Zangetsu, she was holding the hem of his cloth. She looked familiar with her medium-length chestnut/brown hair (I was never sure).

As she walked from behind so everyone could see her better, my eyes went wide, and I couldn't say anything.

"...Hey." She greeted me awkwardly, but the only answer she heard from me was.

"How..."

(E/D: Epic drama incoming.)
