Soifon pretended to not notice the weird look on Ichigo's face.

She thought to herself.

'How can a five year old be that sharp and what with his face?'

She attacked him again this time the barrier didn't last a second before it shattered completely.

Ichigo used the force generated behind the punch to fly backward and make a certain distance from her.

He thought that with that distance he could have time to think what move he should make.

"Too slow"

But Soifon was already in front of him and kicked him in the chest.

Ichigo embraced himself for the impact with his spiritual power.

He made a thick layer of it to absorb the force of the kick and spread it around his body.

Her kick was very strong but not to the point to harm him.

"Your strategy is good, Reflex time is great. But lack experience in utilizing all of that in a span of a second. You need to be faster."

Soifon could be a lot faster than this.

If she had to compare her normal speed and the speed she used right now.

It could be said that she was a snail at this speed and a cheetah at her normal speed.

Ichigo just nodded. He felt pain on his chest but it was bearable. He spread the impact so that the force behind her kick didn't burden his chest too much.

"That move just now. I can see it but not clearly. Can you show me more but please don't kick me…"

Ichigo asked with eagerness. That move was too mesmerizing.

Seeing him began to look up for martial arts. Soifon felt a little bit better.

"Humph, Because you are my junior brother, I will show you the magnificence of the martial art. So you know Kido couldn't hold a candle to it."

Soifon showed it to him but in a lot slower motion.

But it was still too fast for him.

"How is it?"

"You are too fast big sis, can you move a little bit slower?"

"B-big sis? Humph, Then watch."

Soifon felt weird when the little boy called her that. No one dared to call her that before.

Soifon moved a lot slower again. Ichigo could capture her movement now. And began to imitate it but.

He faced the floor on his second try around fifty meters from where he stood earlier. Making a very loud thud.

"You can't imitate it with your current physical strength. As you are a human not a soul. You need to become a lot stronger if you want to use Shunpo."

"Shunpo?"

"That's the name of the technique you just learned."

Soifon was surprised but she did a good job keeping it.

Ichigo just learned the hardest movement technique of the Shinigami.

She just wanted to show him how great the martial arts were but who would have thought he would just learn it by just looking at her twice! And did it on his second try!

She would never allow him to know that only one person could learn it that fast.

And that person was her idol. Yoruichi Shihoin. She broke the record by learning it in her first try.

She gained the title the goddess of flash for a reason.

'And she is a soul not a human…'

Ichigo felt sad but understood. He needed to work hard in order to become stronger.

"I will work hard."

"That's good. Then let me teach you more. Be ready!"

Ichigo knew that learning martial arts meant pain and exhaustion. He had attended a Karate club after all.

'My little bones and muscles…'

That was the only thing in his mind when he got beaten by Soifon.

No pain no gain.

…

Ichigo was now laying down on the cold ground looking at the artificial sky.

He was sweating and bruised. He gave his all in order to learn martial arts from Soifon.

She didn't give a fuck about his age at all. No, she was even more cruel to him as she wanted him to be strong faster.

She said this to him.

"You are five years old. Your body is growing. If you tempered your body at this age. You will be a lot stronger when you grow up."

She beat him up. Breaking his bone and muscle then gave him a mysterious bean that could heal his physical body.

He ate it and his body healed in a second.

"The beans are too much. It contains a lot of natural energy."

She gave him many beans until he was too full to eat anymore.

And that was only five beans.

Ichigo kept the rest in order to research them. He kept it in his flower bracelet and this artifact of his began to decode it by itself.

What a good girl.

Soifon came back from the higher floor.

She then gave him something.

"Use this from now on. With this and your gravity magic. Your physical condition will improve even faster."

What she gave him was a thin chain that looked normal. But when he held it in his hand. He could feel its weight and it was too heavy!

"That is the curse chain of the drown. Its weight would become more and more when you are wet."

Ichigo was full of sweat now so it was very heavy because of it.

This chained name might be a little bit ominous but the benefit outweighs the con.

"Let's go for the sixth round. We don't have much time before the captain of the Kido squad will be here."

Ichigo groaned but still followed her instruction. He will become stronger and beat her when he has a chance.
