Step by step Musuhina looked forward as she walked to her squad's training grounds. About a day or two before this, she had asked around if any members could help her train, thankfully she was told that one of them who wasn't too busy around this time usually trained on the grounds. As she continued, her mind began to wander, troubled about their collective future. What would happen to them, how could they bounce back from the damage they'd suffered. Before she knew what was going on, she had arrived at her destination.

Before she entered, she could see that there was a section of the destroyed barracks near, which as one could guess, didn't help her state of mind at the time. She could still remember the day that was nearly destroyed. Almost instantaneously a massive amount of medical knowledge was lost along with, what was even worse, the lives of several doctors, nurses and patients. She gave the destroyed part of the building a somber look before stepping into the grounds with her zanpakuto drawn to see if her fellow squad member was there or not and if he could help her. In either case, a good dose of training would probably do her some good and keep her mind off of things, despite what would practically be staring her in the face the whole time.

[Wycliff]

Training, it was one of the few things that Wycliff did enjoy, teaching new shigami how to fight and react to combat. This was something that he was very good at, even if he actually hate real fights training helped his fellow shingami survive against hollows. Too often he had seen other shingami go out and get themselves senselessly killed by a hollow because they underestimated them. Hollows weren't things to take lightly, even tho he hated using his release he would use it against them if needed. However he tried to make sure that kido would get the job done. To say the least Wycliff was excited about training the newbie that had been asking around squad four for some help.

That being said Wycliff was still a beach bum and without actually setting a time for the newbie to show up he had arrived late the night before and decided to sleep at the training grounds knowing eventually someone would wake him up. So there he laid simply off to the side of the training grounds sleeping under the sun with a pair of sunglasses on and a straw hat covering his face. That particular straw hat that he had gotten from the human world the day before when he was goofing off in Brazil again.. So when the rookie arrived she would see a few people training and him simply sleeping on the ground off in the distance.

Luckily for her someone who saw her there the day before walked up and spoke. “Oh back again? Your partner is over there waiting for you.” The friendly shingami would point over at Wycliff who had at this point rollen over and allowed the hat to fall off of his face exposing it to the sun and allowing her to see his bright blonde locks that were unkept. “Just go ahead and wake him, he's been there for a while, think he spent the night here.” With that said the shingami would simply walk away and return back to his partner that he had been training with for a while.

As she would approach Wycliff the smell of sea salt would fill the air around him. Getting even closer if she was paying attention she would see that there was bits of sand all over the place. Wycliff blissfully asleep would be dreaming about the time he met that strange French fullbringer that he brought to the beach and what fun they actually had. He still wondered what happened to her and where she went, either way in his dreams he would be replaying the events that took place over and over again and how great she looked in that bikini.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

After Musuhina took a few steps into the grounds, a fellow shinigami came up to her and told her where her sparring partner was. With a nod, she thanked her before watching her leave. Turning her attention to the superior that trained her. As she walked towards him she could smell the vague scent of saltwater. Surprisingly nice, though she never really recalled ever swimming before apart from resting her feet in the occasional stream in the forest outside of the Seireitei. 

As she stood over him she wondered how to wake him up. She didn't really think it was polite to speak out suddenly, but what could she do. She spotted some sand around him and decided to sprinkle some on his nose instead of his face in general since, odds are, sand in someone's eyes didn't exactly feel the best. After realizing that attempting to make him sneeze didn't work, she decided to poke at him with her scabbard. After jabbing at his face, she decided to start lightly tapping the ground beside him to see if that would do anything.

Overtime she started getting a bit more frustrated, even blowing air next to his ear didn't seem to work. Gritting her teeth, she took Shinku Ko out of his scabbard so he wouldn't be hurt by what she'd do next. "WAKE UP ALREADY!" she yelled before banging her scabbard against the wall next to her superior several times with a loud enough force that he couldn't ignore. After that she remembered who she was doing all of this weird crap to, and along with the other shinigami watching her, Musuhina had developed quite the blush as she sheathed her zanpakuto. With her face only growing redder, she ended up fully realizing just what she'd gotten herself into to.

[Wycliff]

Wycliff had finally woken up after she had screamed at him and banged her scabbard against the wall. In a daze he slowly opened his eyes to see that there was a young female shingami standing by him with red cheeks. Even in his half dazed state he could tell that this was the person that he was suppose to train with. If she was already getting this loud to wake him up then he knew that this might be more fun than he originally thought. Still she wouldn't see that his eyes were open due to the rather thick sunglasses that he was wearing. All that she would see that her screaming accomplished would be to move his head over towards her.

Slowly as he rose up from the ground he let out a very loud yawn. Still half asleep he rubbed his hair with one of his hands letting sand fall from it to the ground. In a very laid back and relaxed tone he spoke. “So ya the newbie huh? Ya know ya coulda just said somethn and not screamed at me.” As he finished speaking he yawned again softly before placing one hand on her shoulder and smiling at her. “Well what's done is done, names Wycliff rookie, squad four seat four, guess I'll be training ya huh?” Wycliff wasn't one to get mad that easily, nor did he really think it would be in his best benefit to get mad, after all he knew how deep of a sleeper he was.

With the introductions done Wycliff took a good long look at the new recruit and wondered what to do. She was in the same squad as him so that meant that she shouldn't be that great at fighting, but her healing skills should be better than normal. “Hmmmmmm, tell ya what, ya came looking for training so what do ya want to learn? Kido, sword fighting, maybe a bit of help against hollows and what not? I ain't great with the medical stuff so ya better off askn someone else, but when it comes to fightin, well I'm one of the best in our squad.”


He was at a loss at the moment to see what she would want to learn. Not everyone wanted the same thing. Training was training, but he didn't want to teach her how to use her sword if she came here to learn kido and vise versa. This was to help her out not him, he was just simply happy to help out a fellow squad four member. After the attack their weren't that many left and he had to take up a higher role in order to keep the others safe. While not a healer, he was a protector, he felt that his main goal was to protect his fellow squad mates and get them ready for the outside world when it came to dealing with the injured. The invasion was a wake up call squad four needed to become stronger or else every other squad would pay the price.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

After Musuhina had calmed down a bit, letting her cheeks go back to their natural state, she composed herself. After Wycliff's hand rested on her shoulder, she noticed that the other shinigami had gone back to what they were doing before. Though once she'd returned her attention to Wycliff's offer, she wondered which skill to improve first. Thankfully her healing was just fine, though she desired to improve it more nonetheless. She had virtually no potential in Kido at the moment, being more able in physical strength.

And even then, she didn't have much in that department either, apart from a few risky tactics that she'd thought up on her own. Of course no matter the method of combat she chose, her speed would always be her downfall. She was much slower than average, even though her ability to process information was okay for the time being. It was a pretty big problem for her, and there was a lot of room for improvement. But she had to start somewhere, and she figured that it might as well be an area that she not only lacked in the most, but would help her in pretty much every single situation that she could guess someone like her would be in.

"Uh if you really think its okay, I'd like to be faster. I could really use the lesson, if you're willing to give me a shot." she said as politely as she could. Then again, she wondered if she could get a bit more than that as well. "Well...then again maybe a bit of swordsmanship a bit at the same time, if you'd be okay with that." she said again, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry. "But if you're up for it then...I hope you don't mind if we make it a learning experience." Musuhina said after stepping back a bit and unsheathing her zanpakuto. She, admittedly thought that her request was crazy at first, but then she figured that someone with much more experience than her would be fine. And it wasn't like she'd suffer any permanent damage either...depending on where Wycliff's blade landed. In the end though, she wouldn't learn much if the use wooden swords, only the actual pain could drill the lesson in hard enough, only a fight with real swords could show her what kind of situation she was in. Not just with the Hollows, but with the possibility of the Seireitei being attacked again.

[Wycliff]

It seemed that she wanted to train her speed and her swordsmanship, this was fine, however upon seeing that she pulled out her own blade he let out a soft sigh. He really didn't think that using a zan against a fellow shingami was needed in order to train, but if she was already drawing her blade without giving a second thought to using the wooden swords then he had a feeling that she had already made up her mind in this matter and wouldn't go back to using something safer. If that was the case then he had another way to train her a bit, one that wouldn't involve using his own blade.

With a smile across his face he raised up one hand placing the strawhat he had gotten on before pointing at her the other holding his zan by it's sheath. “So ya wanna get faster and learn how ta use ya blade huh? Well I'll tell ya one thing before I start.” He became silent for just a moment before mentally casting a kido. Byakurai “DODGE” He said those words loudly as a bolt of lighting would come from out of his finger tip aimed right at the base of the blade of her zan. If she didn't respond fast enough the bolt would hit it right there and possibly shatter it due to the difference in their strength.

If she was able to dodge the attack or even if she wasn't Wycliff would shumpo behind her and attempt to slap her on the back of her neck using the straw hat he had placed on his head moments before. Before the strike would come to land he would scream out again at her “ DODGE” Wycliff's goal wasn't to harm her in this training, getting hurt was for battle, training was to improve the body, but if she was ready to fight him head on, he would make sure that she would learn that it wasn't enough to be fast, you had to have instinct.

Remaining reiatsu 2950/3000 -25 for shumpo -25 for byakurai

[Musuhina Kesshino]

Musuhina readied herself by getting into a traditional stance. With her feet firm on the ground and her sword steadied, she listened to what Wycliff said carefully to take in as much as she could. Then suddenly, Wycliff fired a Byakurai at her, sending the bolt of electricity screaming through the air. Out of habit, she dashed to the side, using Shunpo to augment her speed. But due to her average instincts, her speed could only do so much.

As her Shunpo helped her move, the bolt of lightning managed to scrape across the side of her right arm. She held her wound, breathing heavily as she tried to bear with it. Of course then Wycliff managed to keep up with her, big surprise, and hit her with his hat. As the burning died down a bit. she at least tried healing the wound a bit to help her nerves recover from the trauma so she could use her arm properly.  


Once that was done, she backed up a bit as she let her regeneration do the rest of the work. She backed up a bit with her arms still burning quite a bit as she went back to her regular stance. "That the best you've got? Lets go again." she said with a smirk. It hurt like Hell, but odds are, she could get used to it's speed in time. And in this situation, speed, on all accounts, was key.

Reiatsu remaining- 225/250 Shunpo -25

[Wycliff]

He smiled as he saw her ready to go again, but his attack did cause more damage than he originally intended for it to do. Luckily he saw that she was healing with her reiatsu, which meant that she would be ok, however there was a lesson for her to learn here about not watching out for wounds and taking care of them. However instead of screaming out at her about taking care he would capitalize on them. After all it was better to teach someone about their mistakes by showing rather than telling them about them, and given how quickly she was able to heal up her wounds it seemed that he didn't have to really worry about hurting her with his kido.

With that in mind he rushed right at her from the right side not drawing his blade and keeping both hands free. His sword attached to his hip dragging behind him. His aim was to grab at her weak arm, while not using shumpo his speed was much faster than her's. While she would have time to react and attack him she would have to consider what would be the best course of action here. Risk attacking him with her blade or trying to run away. If she did try to run away he would shumpo behind her and grab her from behind placing a hand on the wound before casting the kido mentally. Raikou Kawa.

With that an electrical current would flow out from his hands and electrocute her, while the kido wasn't made to kill it would hurt like hell. She would face second degree burns and her entire body would feel numb for a while. While this was a bit cruel he knew the alternative out in the real world could be death if she allowed someone to get so close with the difference in power and strength. Sadly this was the truth of their world, strength dictated everything, those with power had everything those without had nothing and were subjected to the whims of the strong.

If she did try and attack him he wouldn't attempt to block the attack, not out of arrogance, but in order to show her that sometimes you need to not run and face things head on even in a bad situation. Unfortunately if she did attack him she would get some damage from cutback and at that moment Wycliff would back off and stop to see if she was alright. He had been a victim of cutback in the past and he knew how unpleasant that sensation felt, to know that your strength wasn't enough to cut someone else and to have it backfire through your body.

Either way Wycliff would then speak. “Don't let ya guard down in a fight, if ya have an injury hide it or in ya case treat it and remove it from the fight, some will try to exploit it and use it to help them. If ya can't try and bait them in with it, but have a plan. Fight's aren't all about actions, ya gotta think sometimes.” While this wasn't something ground breaking he always felt that he had to reinforce these concepts onto the younger shingami. Too many of them went around all willy nilly and charged in head first without thinking about their actions and what they could lead to.


(OOC: based on actions I will write out remaining reiatsu next post.)

[Musuhina Kesshino]

With her wound's pain dealt with and in the process of getting patched up on its own, Musuhina kept her eyes locked on Wycliff. As she figured, he was a whole lot faster and even stronger than she was. But she figured that this would be the case. She wasn't exactly built to fight and wasn't entirely used to it yet. However if there was was thing she was sure she was, it was clever.

She had to think of something to hamper Wycliff's speed or at least hold his offense back just a bit. But the real problem was that she just couldn't cut him...what to do. Her thoughts raced for a bit as she tried to come up with a plan, a plan that she had to be fast about. And then her thoughts drifted to what her zanpakuto could do. Yeah...she figured if she couldn't cut him, then she could end up getting cut herself instead. 

Thankfully she didn't have to think up of an approach too much due to Wycliff suddenly charging at her. And with him looking like he was going for a grab, this was the perfect opportunity. After lowering her zanpakuto with it in her right hand before lunging forward as he did, using Shunpo to meet him sooner in an attempt to catch him off guard. With her flashing forward, she angled her zanpakuto so that it would run and scrape across his arm. With her arm cupped in his hand, the pain from the cutback shot across her arm as she felt the laceration rend her tissue and snap her arm.

She cried out in pain again, this time out loud, but she'd will herself through the pain as best she could. Noticing her blood covering Wycliff's arm and hand, she dropped her zanpakuto to catch it with her other arm, before running the flat edge of her sword across both of their arms. Musuhina would then pull her arm back as fast as she could, wincing in pain as her blood began to turn into crystal, sealing her wound and keeping her tissue together as it began its healing process. If her plan of attack worked, then Wycliff's arm would be covered in the same crystal, along with the possibility of his fingers being bound together. If not, then Musuhina would have a target to go for or a means of better keeping up with him. "So how was that for having a plan? I don't know about you, but I'd say my guard is feeling pretty solid to me." she said with as she stared down at her right arm "I know that there are gonna be a ton of things out there that are stronger than me, but just because I'm not strong enough, doesn't mean I can't put up one Hell of a fight!".

Remaining Reiatsu: 200/250 -25 for Shunpo

[Wycliff]

Her actions were really unexpected. He had not thought of the possibility that she would rush him before he could rush her. He kept the goofy smile he had across his face as he watched her attack him in such a manor. Wondering what her exact plan was he held back on using the kido and allowed things to unfold as they did. As her blood went everywhere he felt a little bad about what had just happened. Training really shouldn't spill blood, but she seemed to be able to heal up really quickly. He had no idea that her blood had any special properties and didn't even think twice about it.

When he saw her blood around her arm turn into crystal and harden he felt something tighten around his own fingers and arm. The very same blood that had been all over his arm now turned into a gem like substance that encased most of it. The color and look reminded him a lot of pop rocks however it seemed to be much much harder and more than likely not made of sweet sugar flavored by chemicals that weren't good for you, but he didn't care. The more he looked at it the more he wanted to eat some of the pop rocks that he had in his pocket.

It seemed that this one had a good head on her shoulders. This made him feel so much better about the future of his squad. Still it seemed like his words weren't needed, but then again she had forgotten something important while she stood there and spoke to him. If this was a real battle the foe would take advantage of this situation and so would he. Rikujokoro  Suddenly out of nowhere six rods of light would penetrate and trap Musuhina  keeping her from moving. Wycliff looked at his arm once again wondering what to do about the fact that part of it was now crystal. “Ya got careless, against a hollow or arrancar even if you get a surprise hit in like that ya can't let up until their dead or something like that could happen to ya.” He pointed at the fact that she was now trapped in a powerful binding kido keeping her pinned for the moment.

Wycliff raised up his crystallized arm and pointed it straight up into the air and away from everyone else training in the grounds. “Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hado #63: Raikōhō” A massive bolt of lightning shot out from his arm breaking the crystal encasing and letting out a loud roar. The kido would travel upwards and disappear into the sky. Parting the clouds as it did so.” Well then looks like my arm's free now, ya heal up in there and when ya looking better we can go again. “

With that said Wycliff reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a bag of pop rocks. Ripping off the top with his teeth he poured about half the bag into his mouth to feel the fizzy pop of the candy burst all over. He really did love this odd sweet that he had found in the human world. He wasn't exactly sure as to why he did like it all he knew is that the combination of the flavor and the texture of feeling the candy pop in his mouth was the best. While he was enjoying his candy he would let Musuhina  heal up. When she was all done he would undo the kido, there wasn't a point in trying to push your body to the point that it fell apart. If that happened who knows how long they would be out for and all of their training would be for naught.

remaining reiatsu  2650/3000 -300 for two class four kido 

[Musuhina Kesshino]

Musuhina was feeling pretty proud of herself right now. Not only had her plan worked, but she managed to give herself quite a boost of confidence. Sadly, she ended up getting a little too confident, seeing as a few seconds later she was bound with a Bakudo spell. She attempted to move around after letting the bone in her arm mend itself, while it hurt a good bit, she could barely budge an inch. Wycliff mentioned that he'd let her go after she let her arm heal properly before having a snack.

While a bit frustrated at being bound so easy, she took a while to breathe and calm down, things wouldn't exactly work out the best if she didn't keep a cool head. Then again, after looking down at her arm mending itself while pieces of the crystal chipped off, it looks like she did let herself get out of control. She let herself get overzealous with winning. What if she didn't have this ability of hers, the one that could help fix nearly any small mistake she made? She felt awful, what if she did this in a real battle, what if she took too many risks like this?

If this had been a real fight, she'd be healing only half as well right now, she let her drive to win and break out of what was expected push her too far. It was fine on its own, a drive to make yourself better is always nice. But in situations like this...this was dangerous. Entire lives could be at risk because of her if she kept pushing herself too far, and even Wycliff's words reflected that. She was more important than she thought she was, no, her squad was more important than she thought they were.

As she felt her wounds close more and more, she thought deeper. The Soul Society, as a whole, is scarred thanks to the monster that caused all of this. She wanted him dead, she wanted to push herself and get stronger to the point where she might even have a chance, even if it was just a little. But she failed to see the bigger picture, she tried to do things on her own without thinking about the others. Needless to say, she felt like a failure to her job, the very thing she dedicated herself to since she was a girl. But now it was time to look at the bigger picture, now it was time for her squad to do what is was best at; holding everyone together and showing that they were never alone.

She balled her hands tightly as she felt the last of her wounds close. She looked up, seeing Wycliff still enjoying his treats, wondering about how attached he was to the stuff since he never seemed to run out, despite its small size. A grin came to her face, wondering what kind of game she could play with him with that in mind. "Alright, they're good, you can let me go now." she said calmly as the last of the crystal blood fell to the ground. She waited for his response, with a plan in mind, not just for the training, but for a much bigger picture.

Current Reiatsu: 210/250

[Wycliff]

As he heard her words he looked back at her before turning back to the bag of pop rocks he had in his hands consuming more of them as he kept the kido active. He wondered what she would try if he simply left her there stuck in his kido. It wasn't as if it would last forever, however the idea did cross his mind as he slowly felt the pop rocks pop in his mouth again. However this was training keeping her wrapped up in that kido wouldn't do her any favors. He let out a soft sigh before looking back over at the wooden kendo sticks he had grabbed for this training that wouldn't be used.... or would they be...

“Alright, I'll let ya out, but not before I do that I gotta grab something. So hold onto ya cute butt and I'll be back in a second.” With that said Wycliff walked back to the corner that he had been sleeping in before she had come to train with him. Undoing the knot on his belt that kept his zan on his person he allowed the blade to fall to the ground covering the snow white sheath in dirt. To him that blade was useless and pointless in this situation. With that done he leaned over and grabbed the wooden katana and held it tight in his grip. With one last look at his Zan he muttered under his breath at it. “damned pusher.... just stay there..”

He undid the kido and allowed Musuhina  the freedom to move and attack if she wanted. He would simply start walking towards her with the wooden katana in hand. Whatever her next action would be he would wait and see. She didn't seem like the type to run or stop plotting while resting. Truly very different from Wycliff who had taken that time to simply just eat pop rocks and think about where to nap after this was all over. Still if she hadn't acted when he got into striking range he would move his wooden katana to strike at her stomach at full speed.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

After gaining a puzzled and somewhat surprised expression at Wycliff's words, Musuhina saw him heading over to where he was napping. After getting over what he said, she figured that his little snack must be in one of his pockets. Now all she needed to do was to wait for the right time. From the looks of things, he'd decided to get one of the wooden swords that were leaning on the nearby wall, which explained why he'd left his zanpakuto on the ground like that. That made for feel a little bad for the poor thing, she'd always have Shinku Ko at her side, figuring that it would give them both a feeling of safety and comfort. Then again this was the same zanpakuto that she'd used earlier to deliberately injure herself just to gain an advantage in a sparring match.

In any case, she'd soon be set free while Wycliff inched his way to her with his practice sword in hand. Normally this wouldn't be as bad as before, but her worries were more geared towards his massive amount of spiritual pressure in comparison to hers. Given how little she had, she doubt that she could even nick the sword he was using. But as he got closer, she'd simply wait there, swaying from side to side in a sarcastically innocent manner with her zanpakuto back in its scabbard. And just as he started to swing his sword at her stomach, she'd manged to Shunpo just behind him, quickly jamming her hand into one of his pockets.

Striking metaphorical gold, Musuhina darted back by using the tips of her feet to gain some distance, but not before gently smacking the back of Wycliff's head with her recently stolen goods. Chuckling to herself with Wycliff's pop rocks in hand, she decided to empty a quick mouthful, enjoying the sensation while wagging it in front of him teasingly. Granted some part of her thought that this was a bad idea, but she couldn't exactly let an opportunity to mess with him slide like this. And, in any case, maybe this'll lead to their training being more interesting in the sense that there wasn't exactly a better way to train someone's speed than in a game of shinigami keep-away. "Y'know you should really learn to guard stuff like this better, especially since the taste isn't half bad." she said before pouring another mouthful of candy from the seemingly endless supply.


Reiatsu Remaining 185/250

[Wycliff]

Musuhina  was new to the squad so there could have been no way for her to know what a foolish mistake she had made. Wycliff, who normally was laid back and relaxed about everything had one very specific trigger. His pop rocks, not even he himself knows exactly why he goes crazy when his pop rocks are stolen or damaged, but when it does happen those who are around tend to say that he becomes an entirely different person. Sadly for Musuhina  the calm and relaxed man who had been training her was now being consumed by a blinding white rage that would only be solved by the return of his pop rocks.



He didn't say anything to her as he dropped the wooden katana on the floor and slowly walked back to where he had dropped his Zan to the ground. The aura around Wycliff seemed to change as he picked up the blade, his eyes staring right at Musuhina , still covered up by the sunglasses. A few people that had seen this while training started to run away in fear and panic. Most of his squadmates had heard stories of Wycliff's attitude shifting when he lost his pop rocks and didn't want to get caught in the middle of this.



Drawing his blade for the first time since they started training she would see that it was a pure white sword with only a red band at the base of the blade. Besides this his blade was solid white all the way down, as if it was made of ice. “Just one time, Chūdoku” With those words uttered a dark aura engulfed Wycliff as the innocent blade was changed drastically. The snow white color of the blade quickly changed to that of a dark gray that faded down into a lighter gray near the tip of the blade. The guard of it turned vile and monstrous with several skulls making up the guard. The actual blade it's self was longer and thicker than before, given that it was now a two handed great sword.



With his Zan released Wycliff smiled and looked back at Musuhina letting out a wicked laugh that didn't sound anything like how he was before. Suddenly he rushed at her with a much higher speed than what he was using before hand. Sadly for her Wycliff was now unleashed and was going at full power right off the bat. As he rushed at her his blade would pour out this white powder like substance that seemed to float for a moment before dropping to the ground. Just before getting to her he shumpoed behind and above her, as he brought down his blade to strike at her right at her left side a waterfall of the white powder would spew from his sword covering her with it and being sucked into her body if she wasn't able to dodge.

[Musuhina Kesshino]

Alright...maybe this was more of a mistake than Musuhina bargained for.  At this point, Wycliff wasn't really messing around. She could practically feel the shift in tone from the amount of reiatsu that had just spilled out. Not to mention the fact that he'd actually released his zanpakuto while rushing straight at her. She didn't have much time to plan things out than before, making her much more desperate than last time. And since last time didn't really do her all that many favors, she'd really have to think outside the box for this one. 

While Wycliff rushed at her, she couldn't help but notice the strange substance coming off of his zanpakuto. The sword had looked rather nice outside of its scabbard from the few seconds she'd seen of it, but now it was a much darker version of its former self. But Musuhina wasn't exactly one to give into fear that easily and eventually recovered her energetic grin from before. But suddenly, he ended up appearing just above her in an attempt to catch her off guard. And due to becoming twice as fast, Musuhina had barely managed to Shunpo on top of a nearby wall to prevent herself from losing her arm entirely from that big ass great-sword. 

And due to Wycliff being several times faster than before, she looked over to her right a bit to see that quite a bit of her skin was missing. Actually Wycliff had managed to slash her right arm from shoulder to elbow, causing the wound to start bleeding badly. In an attempt to stop it, Musuhina drew Shinku Ko again before tapping the blade on a small amount of blood that connected to her wound, sealing it up with the crystals from before. With that taken care of, she drew her attention back to Wycliff to figure out what to do next. While she was thinking for a moment and hoping that Wycliff wouldn't follow the little trail of blood she'd left behind, her skin started to begin its regeneration process. 

As that happened, she figured that she wouldn't have pretty much any time to think if he was going to be pulling stunts like that. So instead of planning her moves out like before, Musuhina decided to just throw planning out of the window and just use her instinct, feeling things out and acting accordingly. Of course, she realized this was a terribly idea when just one slash from that great-sword would mean she'd be without half of her body until she'd find a way to get it back, but she didn't really have any other choice left. So getting into the spirit of things, she decided that she'd use her fighting style to its fullest and try to dance around him as best she could. And the first step to doing this was jumping off of the wall, using Wycliff's blonde head as a stepping stone, before gracefully landing several feet ahead of him and eating more of his precious pop rocks to make him even more prone to giving away his movements.
