"Bakudō #4: White Lightning!"
A clear, bright voice rang out. A flash of white lightning streaked through the air, turning the trees ahead into charcoal.
Rukia was panting slightly. Although low-numbered Kido spells didn't consume much Spiritual Power, they still placed quite a burden on her at this stage.
"Not bad..."
Nara Dan's voice carried a note of praise.
To cast Kido without an incantation so soon after enrolling was a sign of considerable talent.
"But in a higher-level battle..."
"You need to be able to cast it silently, if possible..."
"Otherwise, Kido isn't much use."
That was what Nara Dan said.
In his view, Kido incantations were even more troublesome than Hand Seals for ninjutsu. They often took an astonishingly long time to recite, and in a battle where things changed in the blink of an eye—especially a battle between Captain-level fighters—Kido was rarely used.
And if it was used, the incantation would at the very least be omitted.
But omitting the incantation often greatly reduced its power. So if one could cast Kido silently, then fighting without an incantation could become a standard approach.
Nara Dan pointed ahead and silently thought,
Bakudō #4: White Lightning...

Rukia was speechless. How could casting silently be that easy? Those who could usually manage such a technique had gone to the Kido Corps, hadn't they?
Kido truly wasn't so simple, as Nara Dan saw it. Some
