Teacher

Alright, group one to the line. All of you, you will now demonstrate Hado. Begin!

Momo

Ruler, mask of flesh and blood, all things in the universe, fly. That which names all in nature...

...gathering of heat and war, beyond the seas in reverse, take steps to the south.

Hado 31: Shakkaho!

Student

That was a great shot! How'd you do it?

Momo

I only hit the corner. Probably just luck.

Student

Well, I'm still impressed. Most of them didn't even reach their targets.

Momo

Hehehe.

Student

Wow!

Momo

Amazing shot! I think he hit a perfect bull's eye!

Was that the blond kid?

Renji

(Hmph. That guy's pretty good. I guess I know now who my competition is in this class.)

Teacher

Group three, to the line.

Renji

(Well, whoever he is, I'm not about to let him show me up.)

(So he destroyed the target? Then I will too!)

Hado 31: Shakkaho!

Momo

Ah... He could've killed us all!

Izuru

What was he doing? The fool.

Teacher

You, special instruction after class.

Renji

Yes, sir...

Teacher

Next, we will practice sparring. Everyone, to the exercising grounds.

2. Before the boss

Teacher

I will have everyone spar each other in order, starting from the end. Get ready.

Renji

Yes, sir!

(This is that guy from Hado practice earlier.)

(Right, I'll make up for it this time.)

Izuru

Uh, let's have a good fight.

Renji

Yeah.

Teacher

Ready? Begin!

Renji

Hah!

Hah! Yah! Hah!

Izuru

Ah... Wait, just...!

Renji

You think I'd wait?!

Well, you thought wrong!

3. After the battle

Teacher

Match, Abarai!

Renji

That should've left a better impression.

Teacher

Izuru, are you alright?

Izuru

Yes, sir.

Student

You didn't have to be so rough!

Renji

Hmph.

Izuru

Resting up, I see.

Renji

Hm? Oh, it's you.

Izuru

I wouldn't mind joining you there. That okay?

Renji

Uh, sure.

Izuru

Gotta admit. You really let me have it in class. I was so overwhelmed by your strength that I couldn't even counterattack.

My whole arm is still numb.

Renji

Well, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean anything by it.

But I kind of messed up at target practice earlier, so I felt like I needed to make up for that.

Izuru

Zan, Ken, So, Ki.

Each of these four disciplines must be mastered before we can become Soul Reapers.

We've definitely got our work cut out for us if that's gonna happen.

Renji

Well, yeah. I guess so.

Izuru

Name's Izuru Kira. Hi, it's certainly a pleasure to meet you, fellow freshman.

Renji

............

Introduction and a handshake, huh. Your family must be from the good side of town.

Izuru

Huh?

Renji

Manners aren't exactly my style.

But my name is Renji Abarai. And nice to meet you too.
