14 14 Shikai
I continued to train OFA until it became dark and as I was about to leave a question popped up in my mind.
I asked "Amber when can I use your shikai form?"
"You can use it right now~"
"Really?" I asked surprised.
"Of course~ what do you expect me to be difficult and tell you when your ready?"
"Yeah."
"Your impression on me really must be bad if thats what you think and it hurts."
"No, my impression about you is all right, it's just that in the anime, you need some time to bond with your zanpakutō before they allow their shinigami to use their shikai form and some zanpakutō spirits are difficult to talk to."
"Well I'm not that kind of zanpakutō who's hard to deal with and besides your already strong enough to use my shikai mode."
"What do I need to say to activate your shikai form?"
In the anime, I've seen that before shinigamis use their zanpakutō's shikai form, they need to say an incantation or a word to activate their shikai.
"You just need to say Incinerate the ones that stand in my way, Amber and I will change into my shikai, also I suggest you buy another barrier that can hold elemental attacks otherwise the fire that my shikai releases upon being unsealed will burn half of this forest."
"Is it really that powerful?" I was taken aback when she said that, because even though I don't know the exact size of this forest, it should be at the very least be 400 meters.
"Yep."
"Does that mean that every time I use my shikai I have to put a barrier down to prevent my surroundings being burnt?"
"At first you need to, but overtime you will be able to control my flames."
"All right then." After saying that, I went to the system store and looked for a barrier that can hold elemental attacks.
After a few minutes of searching I found one.
[Cancellation Barrier]
[Description]
[Cancellation Barrier cancels all attack from getting outside its radius but there is a certain limit on how much attacks it can cancel out]
[Price: 3,000]
"Will this do or do I need to search for a stronger barrier?" I didn't know how much powerful her flames are, so I asked Amber.
"It will do." I heard Ambers answer.
"Alright." I nodded and brought the barrier.
[Ding!]
[3,000 points deducted. Remaining Points: 10,035]
[It is in your inventory now]
I took the barrier out of my inventory and examined it.
The barrier is a flat circle that is completely yellow with a red button on top.
I pressed the button and hole opened up in the middle of the button then a yellow light came out and enveloped my surroundings.
I didn't know if this barrier is inside the original barrier that I first set up so I asked "System is this inside the diameter of the first barrier that I setup?"
Even though I knew that the chances of someone being here and seeing the cancellation barrier is low, I still wanted to be sure.
[Yes host cancellation barrier is inside the first barrier that you put down]
After getting my question answered, I summoned Amber, took a deep breath and said "Incinerate the ones that stand in my way, Amber."
After I finished saying that, large amounts of fire started to leave Amber and started to burn my surroundings quickly.
Seeing this I tried to control the fire but I didn't know how to, so I asked "Amber! How do I control the fire!?"
"You can control them like how you can control your fire energies."
Hearing this I controlled the fire to stop spreading, the fire around me started to slow down but it was only by a little bit, it was still spreading at a fast pace.
Knowing that I can't control it, I said "Amber how do I seal you again?"
"Just say close and I will be sealed."
"Close!" After I said that, the flames started to disappear before completely vanishing.
"Hah.... hah.... hah" I was completely exhausted after trying my best to control my flames so I just laid down on the not burnt ground that I was standing on and rested there.
Looking around, I saw that my surroundings became scorched, nothing was left, everything was burnt by the flames.
"Hah... good thing....that I listened to you." I said to Amber, because from the time that I opened my shikai to the moment that I sealed Amber, it only took no more than 30 seconds but the destruction it caused during those 30 seconds was no laughing matter.
Luckily there was that barrier that I used, if not then I'm guessing that it will only take a few minutes for this forest to become a scorched wasteland.
"Well at least now you know that you should always listen to my advice." I heard Ambers reply in my head.
"It's not like I won't listen to you." Was my reply.
"Fair."
After that I felt that I had regained some of my energy back, so I stood up, took back the barriers and went straight home.
I didn't bother to care about the damage that I caused because I was too exhausted and thinking about it will just cause me a headache, plus I doubt that anyone will go that deep in the forest at this time.
I arrived back home and immediately went to my room and slept.

Opening my eyes, I felt lazy and the bed feels like it was telling me to go sleep again, but I resisted it and slowly got up from the bed.
"Gnaaaaaarrrrrrrhhhhhh."
I looked at the time and found that it was already 2:00 AM.
I was surprised that I slept that long and thought.
"Was I that exhausted?"
"Yes, you were so exhausted because you were already tired training OFA yesterday and completely emptying up your reiryoku while trying to control my flames only increased that tiredness."
Amber answered me..
"Well looks like training to control my shikai will be the top priority."
"Yep! though there's one thing that makes me a little sad."
"What is it?" I asked, since there was no reason for her to be sad other than me being unable to control her flames but by her tone that doesn't seem to be the case.
"You didn't get to see my shikai form." She answered.
"Ohh." Now that she mentioned it, I didn't get to see her shikai form because I was too preoccupied trying to control the fire.
"Sorry about that." I said.
"It's okay you should focus first on trying to control my flames then you would see my shikai form."
Suddenly I started to get hungry so I went down and brought a large breakfast from the system for 3 points.
While eating I thought "I should really get a maid to cook for me because buying food from the system will just waste my points"
I made up my mind to go hire a maid later, while thinking of this I finished eating and cleaned the dishes.
After putting the dishes in the cabinet I decided to go out for a walk.
I got out of my house and went towards the park.
While I was taking a turn my foot stepped on something, so I looked down and saw that I was stepping on the right hand of a figure that was laying on its stomach and was currently covered in blood.
"What the!?" I was stunned by this, but I quickly regained myself.
Crouching down, I turned over the figure and found out that it was a woman.
I shook her shoulders while asking.
"Hey are you okay!?"
I didn't get a response, I thought that she was dying, so I picked her up and used sonído to quickly go home.
