Hahhhh!
Gh!
Come on, Nozomi!
This training is going too far! It's dangerous!
Just keep out of this, pervert. It's the only way to re-awaken my Zanpakuto. Whatever's necessary.
Your body can't take the punishment!
Shut up!
Rahhhh!
Ah!
Did she just...?
Suck away Chad's spirit energy?
It's working. Who's next?!
Me!
2. After the battle
33 lines*Pant* *Pant*
Let's take a break.
I don't need one.
Don't rush, Nozomi. Believe me, you're going to fail if you try to do everything at once.
That's right! You tell her, Orihime!
Nozomi, have some of Orihime's special sports drink and try to relax a little. It might help you recall things.
I don't want any.
Where are you going?
To go wash my face. No sense in rushing things, right?
*Sigh*
You really think this exercise is gonna help you remember?
You might as well stop. You're just gonna hurt yourself if you keep this up.
You're wrong. I'm right on the verge.
On the verge of what? I'll concede you've got some sort of power, but that's no guarantee you'll be able to survive in a real fight.
Even if you regain the power to fight, it'll only lead you to your death.
When I first came here, I intended to die.
Instead, I was told to live.
Since then, I've tried to take those words to heart. So this time, it's my turn to help everyone else live.
To accomplish that, I'm ready to die fighting.
............
You're a fool.
I don't give a damn about your problems, but you won't be protecting anyone if you're dead. If you want to live, you'll have to learn how to strike back.
You ready?
Bring it!
Huh?! What is this Spiritual Pressure?
The enemy's attacking!
But we're not ready. Nozomi still hasn't regained her Shikai.
Then we have to get her someplace safe, and quickly!
Let's continue, Ichigo.
Hold on! Don't you understand what's happening here?
If the Reigai are coming here, there's no safe place to hide me. I need to power up as quickly as possible.
Yeah, I think Nozomi's right.
Well fine, then. If that's how you feel, then I guess I'd better lend a hand.
