After the explanation was completed they then moved to an abandoned building.
As they walked, Shiba Aiko began to speak,
"Now, as a member of 1st grade you will now take part in the dummy hollow training program. The other classes will return to Soul Society while you will stay here and take care of Hollows. Don't worry they're not too strong. . I suggest you guys search in groups. Our sixth year will see how you take care of them and judge you in the end. Spread it."
He shunpoed away just as he finished. The members of the 1st class were shocked but quickly came to their senses and began to form a group. They are elite for a reason.
After everyone had formed their group, they realized that they had lost someone.
"Where Itsuki-san" a random girl called out, saying,
"She may go alone, it's stuck" a male classmate shouted out of revenge, saying,
"Maybe you can do the same, if you have her talent" the same girl defended.
This silenced them because what he said was true. No matter what the class is, Itsuki is always first. They even learned that the 1st grade principal of Gengoro Onabara himself was fighting against him with a sword. When they thought about this, the spirit there became dull.
Unaware of her classmates talking, Itsuki was quite excited about the training this time around. He was finally able to put everything he learned into active combat, even though it was only a mock hole, not a proper hole. Looking around, he found a building. It was not an old building and looked quite new, however, it was burning everywhere.
He could see the spirit chained to the building, realizing it was a grounded spirit he had come close to try and conduct a conso on it. Even though he had yet to awaken his zanpakuto, he could still do it. Closer, he could finally see the spirit. It was a middle-aged man wearing an expensive looking yukata. It screams around nonsense, though,
"This business is mine!"
"The girls in the red light district are all mine!"
However as Itsuki approached, the chains connected to the spirit were suddenly corroded instantly and cracks began to be seen on the man's face.
"Aaaaggggghhh"
A hole-like scream came out from his mouth as his reiatsu had just surged. A white mask slowly surfaced on his face as his clothes came off. His entire body grew while turning blue as he lost all of his human features. Eye-like clumps appear when the basins natural instinct to devour souls takes over. All rationality is lost, he lunges towards Itsuki because he is the closest soul.
Without panicking, Itsuki quickly raised his hand and started drawing symbols in the air while red energy appeared around him as he shouted
"Bakudo #9 Geki"
The hole suddenly stopped in its path and fell causing a crater to appear. Fortunately, this was an abandoned place in the city so there were no humans around. As the dust cleared, the Hollow seemed to be engulfed in the same red energy as its entire body was paralyzed. Isuki slowly walked towards her and activated her eyes. He wanted to see how the death line looked on the hole. He knew this was not a mock hole but a genuine one because of the amount of reiatsu released from it.
Pulling out his sword, Itsuki had just slashed through the Hollow mask as he continued on his way.
Shiba Aiko is seen staring at Itsuki's back as her partner comes up to her.
"What do you think Shiba-dono"
"She's talented, that's for sure" Aiko turned to her partner
"Tell me Horisada Segoro, why is there a real hole here"
Horisada Segoro began to sweat hearing the girl's question because he didn't know either. There should only be a mock hole but the real one escaped the net. In the end, low-frying like him was to blame. While cursing in his mind, he replied,
"I'll check it out, Shiba-dono"
Shiba Aiko nodded in agreement before turning her back and looking towards Itsuki. Knowing he shouldn't be here, Horisada Segoro leaves, looking for a way to vent his pent-up grievances.
"Shuzuki's. Hotoko. Hiroyashisan. Where are you guys"
As he continued to search, he found a terrifying sight. The limbs scattered while the heads of his fellow disciples were seen lying around, overwhelming shock and an expression of disbelief on their faces. Gasping in shock, Segoro walked forward as tears began to flow from his eyes. Looking around the room, he realized that everyone stationed at this guard post was here.
Shaken in her grief, she quickly tried to send out a danger signal but before she could, she lost all sensation in her right arm. Looking in that direction he saw blood gushing out from his arm as an overwhelming feeling of pain overpowered his mind.
"Aaaaggghhhh!!!!!!"
Segoro fell to his knees while holding his wound. Shouting in pain she heard a crackling sound behind her causing her to look back.
"Aaagghhhh!!!!"
Another scream came out of his mouth, but this time it was not from pain but pure fear. He could see strange humanoid creatures feasting on his now lost arm. But this is not the end of his suffering. Three claws suddenly pierced through his chest, dodging his vital organs and lifting them up as the creature slowly bit him. A faint scream could be heard as they slowly died.
The sound of something being eaten could be heard outside the designated guard post.
Shiba Aiko was still seen looking towards Itsuki, not as a girl in love, but with a hint of fear. Not knowing why, when Itsuki faced the hole, he felt as if he was looking at a death sword. A cold feeling appeared in his heart for a moment before leaving, leaving no trace.
As he was preoccupied by his thoughts, he failed to realize several of his comrades were missing, and one masked reiatsu entered the chosen training area.
