3 3 Enlightenment

Tokisawa Chouji woke up early and started preparing the neccesarry things for moving out of town. As for his grandson, he was sleeping soundly inside his room just like any normal kid would.

It was in the middle of the day when he woke up. 'So, it's all real. I really did transmigrated to another world.'

He found his way down and had his brunch which was prepared by his grandfather with a sidenote:

"Yon, grandfather will be out the whole day to prepare everything for moving out. Stay at home and be a good kid alright? Don't wait for me for dinner, there's food in the fridge just pre heat it using the oven."

He crumpled the note and throw it in the trashcan and started eating. He tried washing the dishes afterwards but gave up the idea and simply placed the dishes in the sink after realizing that he couldn't reach most of the things needed to wash them.

Yon went back to his room and sat on his chair. He took out a notebook and a pen with the intention to write things he remembers in the anime that will happen.

"Okay so, Although I followed this world's plot up until the end of it's manga. It's anime ended at the part where Ichigo regained his powers and the very first substitute shinigami, Ginjo Kugo died. Although I saw the trailer of the thousand year blood war arc, It didn't release before I was struck by lightning out of nowhere."

"How did it start again? first Ichigo becomes a substitute shinigami through Rukia. Uryu summons a menos grande. Ichigo and Uryu got beat up by Byakuya. Rukia returns to soul society. Then Orihime and Sado joined the team with Yoruichi tagging along to save Rukia. Damn, it's been years since I last watched this and read the manga. After that there were a lot of anime, manga and novels I have watched and read." Yon let's go of the pen as he massaged his temple.

'I should still write down all I remember. It would be bad to forget about them later on.'

"Anyways, Toshiro was beaten to a pulp by Aizen who was at central 46. Aizen got the Hogyoku from Rukia and retreated to Hueco Mundo. Yami and Ulquiorra invades the world of the living and beat up Ichigo who was later saved by Yoruichi and Urahara."

"Then some thugs lead by Grimmjow was it? invaded the human world next. Leading to him being punished by the blindman who allied with Aizen 'I forgot his name'. I'm glad I still remember this part where the Vizards were introduced though."

"So after that Orihime willingly went to Hueco Mundo with Ulquiorra and a distraction was done so the others won't notice her departure. The gang went to Hueco Mundo to save Orihime and was joined by reincforcements, then Aizen began the invasion of Karakura town. The Vizard joins the fight and lost miserably against Aizen. Even Ichigo's ass was handed to him by a lackey that didn't even go through hollowfication and always had his eyes closed."

"Ichigo returns to save the day with his final getsuga and Aizen was imprisoned by a hado Urahara prepared beforehand. Ichigo lives normally for a few months and after that was the part where the Fullbringers came out and Ichigo got his powers back.."

"Now comes the very blurry part since I totally forgot about this!!! All I know is that the quincies were still alive and were simply hiding. Somehow they had the ability to steal the bankai powers from a shinigami and some people dies in the process."

"It's all I can remember after squeezing my memories... It's been years since I watched and read this! Sigh..." Yon went back to his bed and slumped himself back.

"Will I even reach the stage where I can make a difference?"

"What do they normally do in moments like this? Hmmmmmn." Yon remembered a few words that's suitable for his case. "Focus on what you can do instead of forcing what you can't do"

Yon closed his notebook. It's no use trying to remember something I can't. I need to focus on making myself stronger first!

Yon started practicing again. He started with what he first did just like yesterday which was gathering spirit energy near his core in between both his hands. This was for him to remember how it felt to control his spirit energy.

This time it didn't take him 30 mins just like yesterday. He was able to do it immediately after one try!

"Alright! It seems like my body remembers how it felt. Let me try that fast move I learnt last night then, if I remember correctly. Soul Reapers named this Shunpo right? But since I am not a Soul Reaper what do I call this?" 'The spirit energy that's gathered at the soles of my feet when utilizing this ability isn't even green for me to call it bringer light, and I have already further develop it to the point that I don't just gather it to my feet but the my whole body-'

His line of thought was cut off by a realization about this world. Although no one was able to fly, they were still able to step on air by doing the same thing I did on gathering Reishi to my feet. He has already done that!

With his interest suddely lit up by the idea Yon used his movement technique to jump towards the ceiling however before his face could hit it he gathered reishi towards his hand and tried to cushioned his momentum. Swiftly, Yon was able to stop using his arm like a shock absorber.

And before he could fall back to the floor. Once again he gathered more reishi to the soles of his feet enabling him to stand in the air! "Yosh!" he shouted excitedly. Lucky for him, his grandfather wasn't around to hear him.

Yon went back to his chair with excitement. He only has one thought at the moment. And that was naming his technniques! 'Others might think I'm cringy but so what? An anime fan has to have a name for his techniques! Hahahaha!' Yon thought to himself proudly. Was this guy even still that loner fresh grad who couldn't even land a job after hia tenth interview?

"But if I'm only human why do I have this ability? I don't think I'm a fullbringer nor am I special just like Orihime and Sado who both have a medium for their powers, or do I?" Yon started checked his body for any accessory he might have but found nothing. 'Yup, I'm definitely human'

Temporarily forgetting his excitement to name his techniques he went back on training himself with the goal to be able to do it all as fast as possible so he could use it once he needs them. The abilities he was able to do so far were exerting his spiritual pressure around him with the limit of around half of his room, his enhancement technique which enables him explosive speed, enhanced reaction and perception, the technique also has no name yet, another one which he just recently discover was the ability to step in the air without falling and finally the summary of all this moves which was to be able to manipulate/control his spirit energy/reishi according to his will.

He used all the time in the afternoon until his grandfather came back in the evening to try and master the first two abilities he learned. He was ofcourse unable to master them within half a day's time. But he could feel that there was some improvements compared to the first time he did it. If he was to rate it 1/10 then he's currently at level 3.

That was a big improvement for a kid who just started yesterday. If 1 was the rate of him being able to do it yesterday, then improving by 2 points in half a day's time of training is definitely a lot. His thought was then brought to attention when his Grandfather called him behind his door.

"Yon? Why didn't you ate dinner yet? Can I come in"

"Sorry Grandpa, I didn't notice the time. Yes the door's open." Yon was sitting up in his bed when Chouji came in.

"Child, what have you been doing since waking up for you not to notice the time?" His grandfather sat beside him and patted his head.

"Nothing much. Just trying to... you know.. uhm ... study?"

"And why are you asking me that?" His grandfather sternly said with once of his eyebrows raised.

"Oops hehehe."

"You brat,are you trying to fool me?"

"What? Who would dare to fool you?" Yon innocently answered looking away while his grandfather stared at him intently. Sweat started pouring out his face.

"Forget about it if you don't plan on telling me." Chouji gives up which gave Yon a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and eat our dinner so we can rest early since we'll be moving to Karakura Town early in the morning tommorow."

"I'll be there Grandpa."

After the two of them had their dinner. Only Chouji went to bed early. As for Yon, he was sitting in a lotus position on top of his bed. Yon was in deep focus trying to contemplate all that he learned earlier. Out of his knowledge, what he was doing was in fact an act of meditation.

Normally once a person finished training his body. He goes into meditation and deep focus to facilitate all that he has learned.

A few hours in deep focus and meditation, Yon was suddenly enlightened.

'this feeling, it feels good.' Yon was then able to feel the spirit energy around him. Although it was thin, he was still able to feel it. Without holding back he greedily absorbed the spirit energy around his room and even those outside their house.

Since his body was already filled to the brim of spirit energy from the start when he transmigrated he could now feel that the spirit energy he absorbed has no space left to enter. Just like a puzzle trying to solve itself, he felt that he hit a wall.

Through the enlightenment that he's currently experiencing he knows that he needs to break this wall or better yet the feeling was he 'must' break this wall. With all his power, Yon used all the spirit energy he had along with what he just absorbed to break this wall.

'Break!'

All that pent up spirit energy rushed through the broken wall. Yon was now able to feel every meridian that was opened up and filled with the spirit energy he has absorbed.

'this, if I'm not wrong. Then this is-' Yon swallowed his saliva by the sudden realization.

'This is the path of cultivation that I have read many times in chinese wuxia novels!!!'
