The brilliance of the light faded as Haru began to rest from the day of training. Mastering one's shikai was great work if you were just getting a hang of it. Mastering one's shikai for the second time would be far easier than the first, judging from the fact that you have already felt the ease once before. Haru had been working on perfecting the brilliance of his unique zanpaktou to it's fullest capacity. It had been difficult, yet his creative ideas were starting to form a new breakthrough for Haru. He had begun to utilize his powers in a new and unique way, light had many uses, and he was eager to unlock and use the those uses to their very limits. He himself would have to be pushed to the limits as well and that only added to the challenge.
Haru had finished resting and had begun to practice his zanjutsu, one couldn't always rely on their abilities if they themselves did not have another to balance those powers our. Haru therefore had to train constantly in zanjutsu and in kidou to perfect his style of fighting and to balance his skills, not tilt towards one direction.
Several dummies were placed outside of the barracks, they were specially designed by the Research Department for physical close-hand combat. The dummies began to move as they clutched their swords in their hands. Many of them wielded katana but occasionally, there would be one wielding a broad sword or an axe. This was to simulate to fight against those who have activated their shikai. Every dummy had their own artificial reiatsu level and therefore the challenge was mixed.
Several charged at Haru, several remained in the back as support. Haru parried one dummy and countered another dummy, beheading it. He went onward to hack and slash through the support dummies by breaking through their front lines. There were about 20-30 dummies in total, after several minutes, only about 6 remained. They were all wielding a weapon other than a katana. This was a sign of the stronger dummies. He swiftly engaged in combat with one dummy, hacking, slashing, and countering each blow. The other dummies charged in, Haru avoided the swings of their weapons. He managed to disable 2 of the dummies, and completely cut through 3 of them. He finished off the disabled dummies and cut straight through where the kidney should have been and stabbed the area of the liver to deal two fatal blows. With that the dummy fell and Haru turned away, walking slowly and re-sheathing his blade.
