"How is life in Karakura Town?"
"Thanks to your care, I have settled down."
Soken Ishida bowed respectfully to Suzuki Makoto.
This former pure-blooded Quincy had now completely ceased all resistance. Since Sosuke Aizen and Suzuki Makoto were willing to grant him asylum, he would enjoy this protection with a clear conscience. He agreed to all of their requests, and currently, he was writing a complete manuscript regarding the Wandenreich and the Quincies in accordance with Aizen's orders.
"Since you have mostly recovered, come with me to Hueco Mundo. I am still quite interested in the moves of the Quincies. Bring all your combat auxiliary tools; I want to see your combat power at its most complete."
"Yes."
Soken Ishida quickly prepared all his things and followed Suzuki Makoto into the Garganta that opened before them.
On the other side, Gin Ichimaru had already prepared the venue. However, when he turned around, he saw an unexpected spectator.
"Lord Aizen? Are you here to inspect my work?"
"No, I am here to watch the battle between Suzuki-kun and the Quincy."
Sosuke Aizen was naturally interested in this battle because Suzuki Makoto's fighting style was inherently closer to that of a Quincy than a Shinigami. His highly flexible application of Reishi was also in the style of a Quincy—yet his Reiatsu was completely of the Shinigami type.
He really wanted to know: after learning the Quincy fighting methods through combat, what changes would occur in Suzuki Makoto's fighting style?
Before long, Suzuki Makoto arrived with Soken Ishida. After greeting Aizen, he walked to the dedicated combat arena in the center.
"Use all your moves, Soken Ishida. Do not worry about the power; go all out."
"Yes, Lord Suzuki!"
The man dared not neglect the order. He directly revealed his Reishi Bow and immediately began to gather Reishi, launching an offensive against Suzuki Makoto.
Such moves could not arouse any interest in Suzuki Makoto. After all, they had already seen the basic nature of Quincy abilities in the Great Spirit Book Gallery. However, the opponent's subsequent movements began to get interesting.
"Is this... the ability to use Reishi in the blood to strengthen one's own physical body?"
"This is the power known as [Blut]. One can freely switch between the defensive Blut Vene and the offensive Blut Arterie."
Soken Ishida explained, and the power of the Reishi arrows in his hand evidently rose by a large tier.
After Blut came Ransotengai. Although Soken Ishida was not injured, he still demonstrated the method of manipulating his own body entirely through Reishi.
"The purpose of Ransotengai is to ensure the body's flexibility and operability when one is heavily injured. However, the biggest problem lies in the fact that Ransotengai cannot stop pain. That is to say, the user must endure the pain of wounds being pulled back and forth. Therefore, although many Quincies learn this move, they cannot use it very well in actual combat."
"This actually suits Hollows quite well. Their fighting style has always been berserk and crude, and they don't care much about pain."
"But to make Hollows learn such a delicate method of Reishi manipulation... I feel they would rather just have a hand cut off."
Facing Gin Ichimaru's words, Aizen made a gentle joke.
The battle in the field continued. Soken Ishida exhausted his methods, yet he could not threaten Suzuki Makoto. Suzuki Makoto, likewise, did not attack; he simply continued to observe the various methods of the Quincy.
"It seems there hasn't been too much change. Is the development of the Quincies over the last thousand years merely this?"
Suzuki Makoto was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that for the Quincies to truly show change, he would have to wait until Yhwach regained consciousness. These current things could not be considered particularly powerful abilities.
Soken Ishida hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he revealed the method he had intended to hide.
"Apart from these, there is also a method known as the Quincy Ultimate Form. However, the current Ultimate Form still has strong side effects. After using it, I will lose the vast majority of my ability to control Reishi, unless a special method can be used to relieve me of this side effect."
"What method?"
"After the body reaches its limit, use a Reishi arrow to pierce the blood vessel nineteen millimeters to the right of my heart."
Suzuki Makoto nodded in understanding, raising his hand to shoot an extremely fine and sharp Reishi arrow over.
"Is a Reishi bow of this level okay?"
The man nodded, slightly dazed. Such a delicate level of Reishi manipulation... only people from the Sternritter possessed such ability. Yet, how long had it been since the opponent started fighting him? He had already learned it?
"Since that is the case, then I will begin."
Soken Ishida removed his Sanrei Glove. Instantly, the buildings of Las Noches began to shatter. These Reishi structures, which had originally solidified, actually began to reactivate and finally concentrated toward Soken Ishida.
Seeing this scene, Aizen was slightly surprised. After all, whether in the Soul Society or Hueco Mundo, the building materials were solidified Reishi. The vast majority of Shinigami could not utilize this Reishi, and generally speaking, the Reishi density of the Seireitei did not require adding Reishi from other places.
But if Quincies could call upon this Reishi so easily, then their choice to hide within the Seireitei had another explanation—they could use the most covert method to replenish Reishi for the Wandenreich.
This also seemed to explain why, despite the entire Seireitei being full of the Technical Development Bureau's monitoring equipment—ranging from Reishi monitoring to direct surveillance—not a single clue had been found. It was because the Wandenreich's communication with the outside world did not need to trigger any fluctuations.
However, Suzuki Makoto in the field still showed no fluctuation. Naturally, he could use this method as well. Reactivating the Reishi of those buildings was not a difficult task for him; it was just that no opponent had ever required him to use such an ability. And Soken Ishida opposite him was merely able to manipulate more Reishi; he had no further new things to display.
It seemed this was the limit of the traditional Quincy. Later on, Ryuken Ishida and Uryu Ishida would also only know these things. To see true Quincy combat, he estimated he would have to wait until Yhwach completely returned.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Makoto's interest also waned. He extended his hand and pressed down gently.
All the Reishi gathered by Soken Ishida instantly turned into massive rocks, locking him firmly within!
The man wanted to break free in horror, only to discover that the Reishi, which he originally commanded like his own arms and fingers, now completely disobeyed his control and had once again turned into its original solidified form!
