6 Chapter 6 Quincy
Everything happened very fast. A being called Hollow came out of the river before attacking his mother. He felt boundless anger consume him, but he needed to stay focused. The first thing he should do is not seek vengeance but prolong his mother's life.
Ichigo immediately used Kaido (the way of healing) to heal his mother. But with only Kaido at practitioner level. He could not heal her completely, even with the help of the flower bracelet. But it was enough to just bring her out of critical condition.
Ichigo, after healing his mother, then looked at the hollow that was trying to eat him and his mother, but it was sealed by his bakudo (the way of binding).
It was not strong, but its aura of despair still gave him a sense of unease. Ichigo didn't hesitate to kill it with his spiritual power. He didn't use his toy sword or flower bracelet. He used Hado (the way of destruction).
"Hado no 33. Sokatsui!"
With his spiritual power. Sokatsui without an incantation was actually pretty strong. The blast of Sokatsui engulfed the hollow, disintegrating it into ashes.
The ashes scattered in the wind, leaving behind a sense of relief for Ichigo. He looked at his mother, who was now unconscious.
He thought he needed to do something quick, but before he could do anything, someone appeared beside her with speed that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
The one who appeared was a man wearing glasses. He didn't have malicious intent toward her, so he didn't act out. He was still wary and carefully observed him.
"You did great. I will take care of your mother."
The man spoke, then lifted his mother from the floor. He looked at him once again.
"Go home and tell your father to come to Ishida Hospital. He will know the rest after that."
After that, the man disappeared with his mother. Ichigo stood there for a second. Before the man went away with his mother. He already tracked him with the scent from the flower bracelet. He knew that the man wasn't lying, and he really went in the direction of the hospital.
He went home immediately after that to tell his father about what had happened. He didn't keep a secret about his power from him anymore. He knew that sooner or later his father would find out, so he decided it was time to be honest.
...
Isshin, Ichigo, and the twins left home and went straight to the hospital. It was like what the glasses man said. His father knew the rest of what they needed to do.
Now his father was talking with the glasses man with a serious expression. He hadn't seen such an expression before.
His twin sisters were now crying and asking him about their mother and if she was okay. He smiled at them and told them that their mother was going to be fine.
His words brought a sense of relief to his sisters, who clung to him for comfort. He wrapped his arms around them, reassuring them that everything would be okay.
His father came to them with the man with glasses. The man introduced himself to them.
"My name is Ishida Ryuken. I am your mother's cousin. Your mother is not in danger anymore. She just needs to rest and will wake up soon."
After explaining their mother's condition, Ryuken then looked at Ichigo. He lifted his glasses a little. and after he had checked on him with his eyes. He looked at Isshin, then said
"His spiritual pressure is out of this world. What are you going to do with him from now on?"
Isshin sighed. He couldn't help but glare at Ichigo. He knew that his eldest son was a genius but didn't think he would successfully practice Kido to that level at such a young age.
"I...I don't know, maybe teach him something, but I am not an expert at teaching."
Isshin's gaze softened as he looked at Ichigo.
"But I'll do my best to support him and guide him in any way I can."
He added it with determination. Ryuken nodded his head, then thought about something.
"I like to let him try something."
Hearing that. Isshin looked at Ryuken with a surprised look on his face.
"Don't tell me. Are you going to teach him that?"
Ichigo looked at his father and Ryuken. He didn't know what they were talking about. Ryuken sent a signal to his father. His father nodded his head, then went to get both Karin and Yuzu.
They were reluctant to break away from their brother, but they knew that Ryuken had something very important to say to him. So they could only go with their father.
"Follow me."
Ryuken led Ichigo to a secluded room in the hospital. As they entered, Ryuken closed the door behind them. Ichigo could feel that the room was isolated from the outside.
"Your perception is very good. It looks like you have what it takes to become a Quincy."
"Quincy?"
This was the first time he heard about Quincy. Ichigo's curiosity ignited as he wondered what a Quincy was. Was it like shinigami or something.
