Ranpu's Training in the Forest

A gentle breeze was blowing through the wind as Ranpu walked, his Quincy glove on and the Quincy cross dangling on a chain wrapped around his wrist. He let the wind embrace him for a moment as he tried to decide the place furthest from any danger. He let himself sense any spiritual pressure near by and went away from Karakura town, deeper into the forest. Ranpu knew nothing of Karakura town because he rarely left the forest. He could however feel the obvious surge of Spirit pressure from the town's general direction and he knew he had to get to training. He had no idea how soon the force would turn to come into the forest or if it would remain outside and leave the forest be. Ranpu couldn't take this gamble he was unsure if there were any Quincy around the general area so it seemed like he would have to defend the Home if an attack broke out.

Ranpu was quickly running to the glade he had found many months ago. He found it again and saw that it was still as beautiful as if he had never left. He could see the lush grass almost glittering with its glossy look. The flowers released an aroma that was surely from the heavens themselves. The trees around him were all ancient yet alive with vivid colors. The smell of leaves fallen to the ground and decomposing ground waste was also light in the air, almost overpowered by the floral aroma. Ranpu looked upon his heaven in the forest and quickly entered the glade. The trees and animals around seemed to know he entered as they all focused their energy onto the glade. Ranpu gave a sigh of delight as he looked onto this area and took steps into the centre.

" This place never ceases to amaze me no matter how many time I come back and see it." Ranpu then materialized his bow and he was almost unsure of this place as a training ground. Surely if he trained here he would interrupt the natural beauty of it all, but if he didn't train here he would surely be found. Ranpu pulled the string back on his bow. He felt his muscles tense as they pulled the string back, the further the string went the more developed the arrow looked as it materialized out of spirit particles around Ranpu. He then released quickly and pulled the string back almost in the same motion. He quickly fired off the second arrow, which shortly after being released split into two different arrows. The first arrow was being flanked on either side by slightly smaller arrows. The first arrow pierced into a tree as the other arrows stabbed into the same spot as the first one leaving a large hole in the tree. Ranpu was eager to train using his Hirenkyaku.

"Hirenkyaku!" Ranpu found himself moving very quickly on the spirit particles around him as he was now twenty feet from his prior location. He felt the rush as he saw everything in his speed of the Hirenkyaku to get to where he was. As he was rushing he had fired several arrows and when he came to the end of his hirenkyaku he saw all the arrows had pierced perfectly into the tree's centre. Ranpu was unsure of his skills as a whole but he knew he could train his Hirekyaku to be mastered in no time at all.

Ranpu dematerialized his bow and he began to focus his rietsu as well as the rietsu around him. He then set out a path of several Rietsu trails and quickly burst his body to these locations. He used the Rietsu around him to propel him faster making his Hirenkyaku faster and have greater distance. Ranpu quickly had traveled several times and was back in the spot he was before he started. "Wow, I have so much further to grow with my Hirenkyaku. I need to find the Quincy masters and ask for assistance in my training." Ranpu looked towards the Quincy Hospital, but he was sceptical to enter that place. He had never entered it and he wondered how he other Quincy would react to seeing him, or if they would react at all.

Ranpu jumped up onto a branch and lay on it looking towards the hospital. He was eager to find out more secrets of the Quincy, but wasn't exactly a social magnet himself. He gave a long and exaggerated sigh while he closed his eyes an hung his head. He felt this would be a fine place for a nap. His breathing was beginning to slow as he felt himself slip into unconsciousness. He dreamt as he slept and was sure the dream was a sign of some sort.

~Dream~

Ranpu was quickly running to get to the Quincy Hospital. He was breathing very heavily and bleeding even heavier. He rushed with everything he had in him just to move. He had a very strong urge to live and the Hospital was his only hope in his survival. Ranpu had engaged in combat with a Shinigami....or was it a hollow? The man fought like a shinigami but had a Hollow mask. Ranpu had never seen something of the likes and was very very lucky to be alive. Ranpu felt his strength begin to fade as his dream slowly faded of.

What does this dream mean....? Am I destined to die against something that resembles both a Hollow and a Soul Reaper...? Is such a creature even possible? I have to find out, if I do fight something like this I have to be prepared for anything and everything it may throw at me. If it is in fact a Hollow it may have Cero abilities but would it also have Kido spells due to its shinigami half? Ranpu shrugged this of, but never truly let this dream go. He hoped it was false and just one of those dreams that don't matter or mean anything.

Ranpu stood up shaking off the dream and he felt it was a necessity to meet the Quincy Leader. he decided to put on his glasses as he walked towards the exit of the clearing. He gave a wanting lok back to this heaven but shook the thought hastily. He needed to get stronger and recieve training from the Quincy Leader. He rushed towards the Quincy hospital feeling the wind rush through his clothes. Ranpu was on edge, he felt a spirit pressure near-by and he knew not what it was. He was nervous about everything in the forests lately...
