As her strike closed in on Kazuhiko, Chika couldn't help but smile. There were few situations in the girl's mind that she enjoyed quite as much as training with other members of the Gotei; naturally, this had been no exception! She was excited to try to push Kazuhiko to the brink of what he'd been capable of; to awaken something within him!
And, it seemed that was going to come sooner rather than later. As her naginata closed in on the smaller Shinigami, the foxgirl noticed something rather... odd regarding her incoming strike. It seemed that her attack simply didn't do anything? No, instead, Kazuhiko had almost moved with the weapon. What was he doing? Was this just a dodge, or something more than that? She couldn't quite tell, but if nothing else, it brought quite the smile to her face!
Though, such a dodge was nothing if not concerning for herself. She knew almost instinctually that getting out of the way of this Shinigami was simply going to be the best option; after all, she'd set herself up almost perfectly for a retaliatory strike from him. Rotating on her back foot, and taking another step to her left, Chika did what she could to get out of the way of a strike before it happened.
At least, that was the goal.
As she moved, it seemed that her opponent had accounted for that; and rather successfully as well. She'd been read like a damned book! As his fist flew toward her, once again sending a cold surge through her, Chika once again shuddered. It was as though another piece of her soul had just been shut off. She couldn't quite explain it, but it wasn't a feeling she was particularly fond of. Quite the insidious little ability for a rather unassuming Shinigami, no doubt.
Though, she wasn't quite out of the fight yet! Nowhere close, in fact! "That was a real good prediction!" she called out, "not quite sure how you managed, but be proud of that!!" Another cheerful grin plastered across her face. She was glad to encourage where she could; especially with something that awesome to see!
Though, she needed to get her head back into the game. She needed to keep up her own offensive! Taking a leap backward, and leaving herself open for another strike if Kazuhiko had so chosen, Chika did what she could to get into the air for a moment, slashing in front of her with the bladed-end of her naginata. She wasn't looking to strike Kazuhiko, but instead open up a Skyline Iris in front of her. In an instant, the slash opened up like that of an eye, before disappearing and replacing itself behind her head.
As her descent from the air began, she once again thrust the staff-end of her naginata toward Kazuhiko, despite (hopefully) being without his range. Though, assuming he remained where he was, her strike would find its mark regardless, as though the distance between the two of them had been removed! Naturally, he could've blocked or dodged as he pleased, but it was still quite a trick regardless.

"I swear to you, Kazuhiko, I will teach you how to fight~!"{Level 5: Skyline Iris}
Level Five grants Yabureta Yume another unique ability, aptly named "Skyline Iris". Drawing from the previous stage, the amount of Essence of Dreams earned from landing a strike is increased by 10, totaling to 20 Essence of Dreams per hit. On top of that, Yabureta Yume is granted another ability in order to further allow her to turn the tide of combat in her favor, sharing a namesake with this stage of Yabureta Yume.
while Level Five is active, Chika can open the Skyline Iris. By expending a minimum of 100 Essence of Dreams, and throwing her blade in front of her in a horizontal slash, Chika can will that slash to open up like that of an eye for a short moment, appearing like that of an eye before quickly fading away. When said slash is finished, a small "eye" will appear on Chika's Cyclic Fantasies in the "12" position, spawning an additional eye behind up to a number of allies per 100 Essence of Dreams spent, representing this ability's active period. Skyline Irises remain open for the remaining duration of Chika's Level Five duration, before requiring a refresh. A Skyline Iris has a durability equal to Chika's Spiritual Pressure. If broken, Chika must refresh this ability by paying the requisite cost in order to keep it active.
Harnessing Chika's own dreams and desires to end the fight, and those of her allies around her, she can allow this eye to peer into the futures in which her and her friends are victorious. By expending a minimum of one Fragment of Heaven and swinging her blade while the Skyline Iris is open, she can force a slash for each Fragment of Heaven spent to occur from a distance away from her, as long as she has vision on the target she's looking to slash toward. Said target does not need to be a living opponent, it could be an inanimate object as well like a building or a wall. From there, the slash she makes will displace itself and strike against her target at her current Speed, as though she was within melee-distance from her opponent.
The size of a slash is based off of Chika's own perception; while attacking someone or something from melee distance won't cause anything to vary that much, the farther back she is, the wider said slash will end up against something, potentially enabling the girl to destroy a terrain if far enough away. For those like Chika's allies that do not have Fragments of Heaven to spend, creating this slash requires 50 Reiatsu. These slashes will apply appropriate on-hit effects for those attacking, and use the speed of the attacker if Chika is not utilizing this slash.
