Ichigo's Training

In the World of the Living, Ichigo, Orihime, and Uryū appeared together in front of the Ishida Residence's house.

"Seriously, no matter how many times I come here, your house is still as extravagant as ever," Ichigo complained to Uryū.

Ichigo and Uryū had known each other since junior high school, and they would occasionally be invited to the Ishida Residence to play. Ichigo and the others were quite familiar with the Ishida Residence.

"This isn't your first time here, come on in, welcome." Uryū pushed open the door and went in first.

As for why Ichigo and the others came to the Ishida Residence, it all started with the captains' meeting in Soul Society.

After the meeting, Ichigo and Tsuna's group of friends from the World of the Living held a small meeting. During this meeting, Ichigo and the others truly understood the responsibilities that Tsuna had carried over the years.

Yhwach threatens not only Soul Society, but also the people of the World of the Living. Their journey in Soul Society is just the beginning; they still have a long way to go to become stronger.

Tatsuki was assigned to Soi Fon's side. The two Flash Cry users helped each other and learned from each other, which would help them improve their strength even faster.

Yasutora Sado mingled with the Vice-Captain, including Ikkaku Madarame. With Chad's strength, he was more than capable of being Ikkaku's right-hand man. His strength, which surpassed that of the vice-captains but was not quite at the level of the captains, was perfect for training the Vice-Captain.

Furthermore, Tsuna hopes that Chad can have more contact with Bleach. Tsuna always feels that Chad's Fullbring is not just about the Giant's Right Arm and the left arm of a demon, and that more contact with the power of Bleach would be a good thing for Chad.

For Uryū, it's simple. All he needs to do is master his Saint Letters ability as soon as possible, and going back to the World of the Living to find Hae Katagiri is the best option.

Ichigo is much more complicated. For Ichigo, whether it's the power of the Bleach, the Hollow's power, or the Fullbring, he has only just mastered them. Ichigo could choose to refine one of the three powers.

However, after Tsuna, Tsuna decided to reject the idea. Ichigo was the Child of the Plane of the Bleach world, and who knows, in some dangerous moment, Ichigo might suddenly unleash his full power and instantly master all three abilities.

With this in mind, Tsuna decided to activate all of Ichigo's abilities first, just like he activated his own status attributes, he would also activate Ichigo's Quincy attribute first.

As for the extent to which Ichigo can master the Quincy's abilities, it doesn't matter too much. If Ichigo were to unleash his full power and his Quincy abilities were to increase along with it, that would be a huge win.

With this in mind, Ichigo was kicked back to the World of the Living by Tsuna, who then sent him to the Ishida Residence with Uryū to learn Quincy abilities.

The remaining Orihime is even simpler. Her strength mainly comes from her heart to protect Ichigo, so all we need to do is place her by Ichigo's side.

And so, Ichigo and his two companions arrived at the Ishida Residence. As soon as Uryū opened the door, he heard the cheerful voices of two girls.

"Oh dear, why is Ichigo moving so slowly? Mom's getting impatient."

It was Masaki Kurosaki who spoke, and her face showed no sign of annoyance. On the contrary, she was chatting happily with Hae Katagiri beside her.

"Mom? What are you doing at Uryū's house?" Ichigo asked.

"Little Tsuna told me you want to learn Quincy abilities, of course Mom has to come! Haven't you met your Aunt Katagiri yet?" Masa said, pouting as she picked up her phone.

After exchanging greetings, Hae said with a smile, "Little Ichigo, little Orihime, come and sit down. Are you hungry? Auntie will have someone bring some food over."

"Hae- chan, don't worry about this kid, he's very resilient. Orihime- chan, you rest here with Aunt Katagiri for a while, I'll take Ichigo to find A Long for training."

Masa pulled Ichigo's arm and walked behind the building. She had Ishida Residence for quite some time and knew the place well, so she didn't need anyone to lead the way.

"Aunt Masa, I'm going too." Orihime quickly bowed to Hae and followed Ichigo.

"Mom, you?" Ichigo had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask them.

"Didn't your Mom tell you? Your Mom grew up in the Koume family, and she's a Quincy too. Ichigo you're learning Quincy abilities, of course your Mom has to come!"

Masa answered Ichigo's question gently when suddenly she felt her hand being tightly gripped. She saw Ichigo's solemn face, his eyes filled with fear.

"Mom... back then... The Auswählen... I..."

Ichigo stammered, remembering that he had provoked the Hollow disguised as a human back then, and he had almost killed his mother.

Masa's gaze softened. She knew what Ichigo was worried about, and she gently rubbed his face with Ichigo hands, softly comforting him.

"Don't worry, it's all over now. Thanks to Little Tsuna, we're all fine."

"It really is Tsuna..." Having received the answer from Masa, Ichigo finally confirmed his past memories. He then asked earnestly, "So, that King of the Quincy is our family's enemy!"

"Ichigo..." Masa gently stroked Ichigo's face and said, "I'm sorry, your father and I didn't want you to get involved in these things back then, but we never expected that you would still have to fight..."

"No, Mom, I must fight! I will protect you, please believe me!"

Seeing Ichigo's incredibly determined gaze, Masa smiled and said softly, "Okay, but you have to pass A Long's training first."

"Ishida?"

The image of Ishida Ryuuken appeared in Ichigo's mind—that pretentious, handsome older man. Hopefully, he'll go easy on him.

Led by Masa, Ichigo and Orihime arrived at the Ishida Residence's training ground, Ishida Ryuuken was already in the center.

Ryūken stood with one hand in his pocket, his back to Ichigo and the others, looking up as if admiring the scenery.

"A Long, we're here!" Masa called out loudly, raising her hand even before they reached the area.

Ryūken turned halfway around, and along with his hand he raised a short bow. Without a word, Ryūken shot Ichigo.

Ichigo was stunned. He never expected the handsome older man to launch a sneak attack on him. He instinctively tried to draw Zangetsu to block, but he was in a human body now, not Bleach, so where would he Zangetsu?

By the time Ichigo realized what was happening, the arrow was already in front of him. He was doomed; was he going to get injured by that handsome old man before even starting training?

"I refuse to Three-Day Shield!"

A translucent yellow inverted triangular shield blocked the arrow from the Ryūken. Fortunately, Orihime was right behind Ichigo.

"A Long, what are you doing?" Masa asked, her face puffed out in dissatisfaction.

"I'll leave the training of Ichigo Kurosaki's Quincy abilities entirely to Kurosaki Isshin and Sawada Tsunayoshi," Ishida Ryuuken said coldly. "Masa, Orihime Inoue, leave the area!"

"But..."

Masa was about to defend herself, she heard Ryūken criticizing Ichigo, "Is the power of Bleach so appealing to you? What about your Fullbring? How can you be so shameless as to let a girl take a hit for you?"

Ryūken's repeated questions made Ichigo blush. "Mom, Orihime, wait for me outside."

After saying that, Ichigo immediately rushed into the arena under the blast of Fullbring Light, his huge black bow unfurled. Now that his Fullbring was no longer restricted, he was really not worried about arrows.

However, as soon as Ichigo entered the arena, he found that Ryūken had disappeared from his sight. What happened? Hirenkyaku? That was too fast!

Ryūken had already appeared behind Ichigo. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and struck Ichigo on the back.

Ichigo's spirit and body immediately separated, Ryūken casually tossed Ichigo's body toward Orihime. The item on his palm was a gadget from Urahara Shop.

"You really like the Bleach look, don't you? Then go ahead and participate in training like this," Ryūken said coldly.

Ichigo rolled on the ground, wondering what he had done to anger Ryūken. How did a normal lesson turn into a beating?

"Excuse me, Uncle Ryūken!" Ichigo drew Zangetsu, still feeling that he shouldn't use his brain too much and should focus on fighting first.

Ryūken didn't immediately make a move; instead, he fired another arrow in the direction of Masa and the others.

The Spirit Bow and Arrows landed at Masa's feet, igniting the trap buried by the Ryūken like a fuse. Reishi connected to link the Quincy artifacts near Masa and Orihime, and soon a pale blue cage locked Masa and Orihime inside.

"A Long, what are you doing!" Masa asked, somewhat annoyed.

Ryūken completely ignored Masa and said to Ichigo, "If you learn a power, someone will bring them food."

Ryūken didn't say much, but Ichigo understood what Ryūken meant: if he didn't learn any Quincy abilities today, then Masa and Orihime would be locked in cages for a day.

Ichigo is currently in a spirit form, which is barely enough to hold on, but Masa and Orihime are in human bodies. This won't do. Ryūken is using Masa and Orihime as hostages!

"Let's get moving, time is running out." Ryūken raised his hand and shot Ichigo at Ichigo.

Ichigo could only grit his teeth and launch an attack. No matter what, he had to stop this crazy training first, defeat Ryūken, and rescue his mother and Orihime. He could train his Quincy abilities slowly.

Ichigo didn't notice the faint smile on Ryūken's lips. He knew Masa's son's personality all too well; when it came to family and friends, Ichigo would get angry at the slightest provocation.

Besides this personality trait, Ryūken also received a reminder from Tsuna: Ichigo, who fights to protect others, has limitless potential!

Ichigo and Ryūken were locked in a fierce battle. Ryūken strolled leisurely while Ichigo chased after him in Ichigo, making Masa extremely anxious.

This idiot son of yours, at least ask how Quincy's abilities are used! What's with you stupidly grabbing a sword and attacking people?

Masa couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly in Ichigo's direction, "Ichigo, Quincy use different abilities by controlling Reishi..."
