Ren was currently in the lotus position and meditating. He was waiting for Yoruichi and Kisuke to regain consciousness. Even though they were now in the Onmitsukidō, Ren still treated them like children with their beatings. But ever since they had awakened their zanpakutos, the duo had been getting closer and closer to injuring him.

During their latest session, they had even gotten Ren to unsheath his zanpakuto before brutally beating them down. Ren proceeded to give them each a bit of healing but he could not help but feel proud of his two students as he meditated.

'Haha. I am really starting to see these two prodigies as they were in the show. The woman who would be known as the Flash Goddess who could battle an immortal Aizen without her zanpakuto and the man who invented his own kido and took on Aizen without even using his bankai.

I can truly see those future personas emerging. These two may even surpass their original selves due to my intervention. Haha. What a day that will be to see the new heights they have reached.'

He was pulled out of his thoughts as he heard footsteps approaching. Ren did not sit up since he was familiar with both sets of footsteps. Kisuke sat down calmly in front of Ren but Yoruichi sat down restlessly.

"You seem to be having an internal issue, Yoruichi. Would you like to share or should I just pretend I did not notice and ignore it?"

Yoruichi glared at Ren as if to say, 'you already brought it up so how could you act like you did not notice you, irresponsible man!?'

"I am feeling frustrated. I thought that the gap between us was closing but you were able to beat another captain with only 3 moves. There are even rumors that say you could have done it with two if you truly tried. How can I shorten the gap between us?"

Ren actually opened his eyes to seem like Yoruichi. Even looking frustrated, it could not detract from her beauty. The young woman was growing more and more beautiful over the years.

He then turned to look at Kisuke with some frustration in his eyes. He really wanted to break that guy's head open and to see how underdeveloped some parts of his brain were due to his genius in other things.

'Even I can tell that this girl has feelings for you but you will still be unable to tell in a few hundred years. This woman will give up her future in Soul Society as well as being the future head of her clan for you. You are either very dense or very shy. Either way, I will be sure to fix this in the future.

Enough about that though. Let's think about how we can help this girl with this problem instead of the other one. One problem at a time Ren. Should I introduce the concept of Shunko to her?

How much should I give her though? The final product or just an idea to build the basis with? Hmm. She's smart. And if she has any issues, I can just leave it to Kisuke to help her.'

"I have an idea that I was planning to use but my zanpakuto spirit was very against and would not allow me to use bankai if I used it so I can give you the idea for it. I will only explain the basics. You will have to learn the rest on your own."

Yoruichi seemed like a puppy that just heard the door open after being at home all day alone.

"Really? Is it powerful? Will it make me able to beat you? Can I learn it instantly?"

Kisuke also looked interested in the technique. It seemed that he was tired of losing as well. But Ren decided to shoot down Kisuke's interest in a moment.

"You. Get out of here. You are already busy with your kidō spells, hakuda, hoho, zanjutsu, your research, and various inventions. You also have that temperamental zanpakuto spirit of your own."

Kisuke wanted to refute but he knew Ren was right. He was already trying to learn so much and he had a very limited amount of time.

"Fine. Best of luck with the demon instructor, Yoruichi," was Kisuke's last words before he took off to get back to his room/lab.

Yoruichi was left alone with Ren in the forest. She still looked eager to learn about the technique but Ren was thinking about how he would fix his two students up.

'Later. Later. You need to focus Ren.'

"The technique is the apex technique of hakuda by using kido to enhance yourself. The main focus is to drive the kido along your arms and legs to increase your physical abilities higher than what most shinigami are able to.

This would be a technique for increasing speed, defense, offense, and even allowing one to perform long-range attacks without having to chant spells since their body is the spell."

Yoruichi nodded with every word as she felt more and more enlightened. As soon as Ren was finished Yoruichi started running away to her practice area in the forest to try and learn the technique as soon as possible.

"Thanks, Teacher! I will be sure to master the technique that you can't use and beat you with it!"

Ren decided to let her do as she pleased. He gave her as much information as he could. The rest, she would have to learn on her own through trial and error. Ren put on his red haori that had the symbol for the 8th division on the back.

Today was the day that he would be officially inducted into the Captain's Council of the 13 divisions. Ren hurried to make his way to the 1st division barracks for his first official meeting with the other captains.
