out of time
Birds chirped and cicadas creaked under the lightly waving trees.
"Huu.." Yuu lightly exhaled, sitting cross-legged under the shade of a big tree with an Asauchi in his lap.
Ignoring the pools of blood surrounding him, he stood up with a slight flash of light in his eyes.
"Just a little more, i can feel it!"
5 months had already passed since he had sparred with and befriended Suì Fēng; currently he was trying to achieve his Shikai while farming Soul points through killing random thugs and weak invading hollows on the borders of Rukongai.
"System, display my status!" Yuu ordered while fastening his Asauchi to his belt.
Ding!
'Understood'

"Alright, use 5500 soul points to convert "Obsidian Qilin body Art" into a Reiryoku-based technique!" Yuu's heart ached, seeing his hard-earned soul points decrease at such a rapid pace.
Understood!
A deep black-purple light quickly enveloped Yuu's entire body, while strange marks appeared within his soul.
Feeling somewhat refreshed, Yuu was quickly assaulted by intense pain permeating his entire being.
The Reiatsu vents within his wrists rapidly expanded and his hair changed from white to black, back to white aigan.
As a member of the Ukitake Family, Yuu was naturally aware that, like his older brothers, his hair had originally been a raven-black shade before Su Hao fused with him; yet unable to concentrate on such matters, he collapsed.
Barely withstanding the intense pain, Yuu seemed to hear a voice calling him from the depths of his soul. Scenes of gray trees with violet leafs and a blood-red pond containing a pitch-black lotus appeared in front of him until he finally passed out.
Waking up, he found himself drenched in sweat, no longer hearing the cries of the birds that had formerly surrounded him.
Slowly lifting his tired head, he took a look at the starry night sky.
"I cant tell how much time has passed exactly.." Yuu sighed while examining his newly reinforced self, His Reiatsu could be mobilized far more fluidly than before and the same naturally went for his Reikaku (Reikaku=Spiritual sense) but the most important factor was that although it was only by a minimal portion, his Reiryoku had actually improved; one had to know that although it was possible to increase your Reiryoku trough certain means, it was generally unseen for it to grow naturally trough training, instead it was set in stone at birth and you would simply learn to utilize more of it with due time.
Yuu quickly adjusted his mentality; he may have acquired one of his past life's abilities, but the main reason he had left home today was to visit Mimihagi's shrine on the outskirts of east rukongai.
Fate however, seemed to frown upon him in this instant, he had far from enough time.
Yuu originally used furthering his training as an excuse to leave the family manor. His older brother had only reluctantly agreed upon giving him a few Kidō lessons as safety measures, and given the previous incident he couldn't be absent for too long. Although somewhat discouraged, he wasn't too disappointed; he was aware of his luck, it was good, except for when it wasn't, much like a certain sword-obsessed, red-haired teenager, was in fact aware that people would die if they were to be killed.
Yuu's main gripe with his current situation however was that while he was unconscious, unknowing whether the system would protect him, anyone could have killed him meaning that; he was simply sailing through troubled waters by sheer luck, A path that Yuu was deeply disdainful toward.
Due to his past experiences, he knew full-well that only by improving one's own strength could one control their path of life and protect what was important to them, be it enemies, allies or loved ones; A person should never fully trust in their abilities. Accidents after all, could always occur, no matter the situation.
