Another Day in the Park

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

“The thing about Hollows, watch how and don’t ever let your guard down. Especially as Quincy, one wrong move, one lapse of judgment and you might get poisoned.” Asmoskon would take a moment and look Eleonora right in the eyes to make sure she knew for certain that this was imperative. “If that happens you NEED to come find me right away.” Saving Eleonora was possible and something he was confident he could do, but only up to a point. If she just played it off like it wasn't a big deal then it was likely she would allow the poison to spread, potentially giving it the time it'd need that even his powers wouldn't be able to subdue it.

“They’re more factions and races than that to be wary of, but Eleonora remember there are only so many of them and they all won’t find you.” Asmoskon didn’t want her over stressing out about all the different potential enemies that would seek her out. Thankfully a good bowl of ramen would be enough to relax her body while clearing her mind. Asmoskon didn’t waste any time getting a seat at one of the booths closest to the front of the shop. Ren knew what he always preferred and now that Eleonora gave her order it was best to just sit and relax while they contained to discuss before the food reached them.

This was soemthing that only a few days ago Asmoskon wouldn't have allowed, he would have dismissed it, even telling quite a few of the Quincy beneath his feet that he wouldn't train them. He'd already trained more than a dozen handfuls of the Free Quincy still alive in the world, watched so many of them die. Despite his young age his soul felt old now, it felt heavy most of the time. Now in just a month back in Japan he already had two different students with a third one that carried more issues than most on her shoulders. He wasn't sure how Eleonora and Uli would react with Norina or each other, but at this point it was certain all would need to learn together.

"Guess I got lucky on my fight with that hollow" Eleonora said letting another sigh of defeat, even when she went to Germany to learn more about the Quincy and find one of the books of her father to hopefully teach herself some of the stuff written on it, there was still a lot that she either didn't know or completely ignore due to her inexperience. "Still, I'm here and not backing down from this path, be arrancars, shinigamis, the Vandenreich or whatever I will fight, I refuse to sit iddle while knowing I have a power that can make the difference"

That said it was time to sit and relax with a nice bowl of ramen, having met Asmokon was an amazing strike of good luck as having a teacher would help her greatly to improve with the time and who knows maybe she can in the future do the same for another Quincy! Slowly but surely making sure all those outside of the Vandenreich have a safe place and accquaitances to rely on and stop living with fear, sounds like a really good plan in her mind! "I'm sure there are many factions out there trying to help and all that, I had offerings from Xcution and Uzaki Enterprise members but I reject them at the moment, I was too weak and didn't want to be a load on someone's back, I'd rather hold my own weight before deciding to work for someone"

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

"Don't besmirch luck, that's a talent or a gift that can be the difference a lot of times. Don't rely on it though, let's get you good enough that next time the Hollow will have to be the lucky one to survive." Asmoskon knew from training so many others that he couldn't be hard on Eleonora. She didn't seem like the sort that would respond all that well to overbearing strict leadership, he had to make sure she picked up on what she needed to learn, but making sure she felt cared for would be the thing that'd help her learn. Like a student that enjoys the class most due to a kind caring teacher, that was what he had to be now.

"That's good don't ever give up, don't let the fear grab hold, learn about them all so you can shoot them more efficiently." Asmoskon with his superhuman senses could smell the different ingredients melding in with the broth in the bowl. What was going to be put in front of them both was already almost mouthwatering. Finding Ren and Rin was perhaps the best find when he came across the small group of Quincy that Uli came along with. Although most possessed no talent as Quincy, the two siblings were gifted as chefs. Learning that Eleonora had stayed alone instead of joining up right away with two of the strongest factions in the human world brought a smile to his face.

"Not a bad choice, I'll teach you what you need to know. I'd suggest Uzaki although when the time comes if you want to join then let me know." Although he made no mention of it, Eleonora would be likely shocked to learn that Asmoskon was personal acquaintances with the CEO of Xcution and best friends with the CEO of Uzaki Enterprizes. "Realize though that from this moment on you're my student. I want you ready at any moment, you need to learn everything I have to offer if you really want to stand up against not just the Hollows and Arrancar, but the Vandenreich. Are you ready Eleonora."

Luck as a talent was something the blonde never thought about and was an interesting concept to say the least, but being a talent implies that it can be trained and control to some extent which doesn't sound like something that would apply to luck, yet in a world where giant mask monkeys, soul reapers and creatures from hell exist training and manipulating luck doesn't sound so crazy. "I can handle small hollows no problem, even big ones but... Those that look like bedsheet ghost with the mask of the big nose... Uh... I think I heard someone calling them "Minos Gurande" are a bit hard to understand how to fight" she explain hoping she got the name right (Her Spanish was extremely rusty)

Asmo did brought a really good point, do not let the fear grab a hold of you and never give up, if one really wants to survive in this world you have to toughen up and fight, Hollows, Shinigamis and even the Vandenreich come in so many different forms, sizes and powers that thinking the same way of fighting would work every time is dumb, you have to learn and adapt to your opponents and the only way to do that is to keep fighting and not backing down (or at least that's what she understood)

"You mean it?" She ask tilting her head a bit confused when Asmokon said that he was going to be her teacher from now on. "Yes! Ready at any moment! Whenever you need me I'll be there bow in hand!" She said with a big smile and eyes full of determination "I will not disappoint you, I promise I'll do my best to be the best student out there!"

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

"Alright then I want you to spend the free time you have tonight on focusing your reiatsu. This is a skill that can be done anywhere and at any time. Just concentrate and try to push your reiatsu to a single part of your body like your hands. Tomorrow morning meet me back here at six and we'll start really training you to be an archer." Asmoskon hadn't taught another Quincy in the last few years, but before that he'd taught dozens of the surviving Quincy in the human world. Eleanora wouldn't be the first nor the last one he'd likely teach, but he was going to do everything in his power to help her reach the same goal that still burned bright in his soul. The death of the Emperor and his wretched kingdom would come about with his hands whether it be from an arrow fired off from his fingertips or by the actions of a student he brings up from the dirt.
