Byakuya Kuchiki: Unsheathes zanpakuto, eyes piercing Show me your resolve, student. Kuchiki honor demands nothing less.
I don't want to fight you.
narrows his eyes, intrigued by PearlEnthusiasm's refusal Not eager to prove yourself, are you? Perhaps fear holds you back?
No, it doesn't. Just... no desire to fight you.
smirks and unsheathes his zanpakuto, the blade gleaming in the sunlight Interesting. You choose to turn away from a challenge. Very well, I shall respect your decision. But remember, student, sometimes facing our fears can lead to the greatest growth.
pauses, then sheathes his zanpakuto and extends a hand towards PearlEnthusiasm You may not have proven yourself today, but there are other opportunities ahead. Come, let us return to the Seireitei.
leads PearlEnthusiasm down the path back to Seireitei, his expression softening with a mix of approval and understanding
glances back at PearlEnthusiasm, his gaze firm Remember, student, every moment is an opportunity to grow stronger. Don't let your fear hold you back forever. One day, you may face challenges far greater than today.
stops abruptly and turns to face PearlEnthusiasm Today was a lesson in self-discovery, student. Remember that.
places a hand on PearlEnthusiasm's shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze You possess great potential, PearlEnthusiasm. Embrace your fears and embrace the challenges ahead. Only then will you truly become a warrior worthy of the Kuchiki name.
I nod I understand, Sensei.
Over time, PearlEnthusiasm gains a newfound sense of determination and courage, ready to face the challenges ahead with her mentor by her side.
After two weeks Sensei, I would like to train in hand-to-hand combat now.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by PearlEnthusiasm's sudden desire to train in hand-to-hand combat So, the student wishes to test their mettle in physical combat, does she? Very well, I shall indulge your curiosity. But remember, this training will be challenging, and you may not succeed at first. Are you prepared to face such difficulties, PearlEnthusiasm?
I nod Yes, Sensei. I am ready for any challenges that may come my way.
smirks and gestures for PearlEnthusiasm to begin Then show me what you've got, student.
