Half an hour later, Urahara and Ichiro sat beneath a boulder with their heads hanging, wallowing in despair. They had thought they were progressing quickly, but Yoruichi had utterly crushed them both.
First, Shunko had been fully developed, which was expected. After all, so many years had passed, and she had long been just one step away from this point.
Second, she had completely mastered Kido up to and including No. 90, only one spell behind Ichiro!
That was completely beyond their expectations!
In truth, Yoruichi's Hakuda talent was so overwhelming that the two had forgotten that her talent for Kido was not weak at all. She could effortlessly employ all sorts of advanced Kido techniques, and Shunko was a fusion of Kido and Hakuda—how could her Kido possibly be lacking?
Ichiro's talent for Kido stemmed from his soul having previously been affected by alchemy, granting him exceptional talent for controlling Reishi. This manifested as his astonishing aptitude for Kido. Coupled with the scientific mindset he had built over his previous two lives, he had always learned Kido at an incredible pace.
Yet even with such absurd advantages, Yoruichi still clung tightly to him in Kido training!
Her talent was obvious for all to see!
But the truly terrifying part was the third point.
Shunpo!
Yoruichi was already showing traces of the future Flash Goddess!
The two of them could not even catch her exhaust!
Monster!
In the end, among the four arts of Zanpakuto, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido, Urahara had been surpassed in Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido, while Ichiro had been surpassed in Hakuda and Shunpo. The areas where they had not been surpassed had only small gaps, but the areas where they had been surpassed had enormous ones. Who would not spiral into despair over that?
Well, Issho
