NOVEL WEB 23 – Your Body
He waited by the warehouse all night while making sure his spiritual senses covered over a mile beyond the remains of the building, but even after the fire department put out the fire and the police cordoned off the area leaving very few people to handle the wreckage and investigation no one suspicious ended up showed up all night.
'Hopefully this was an isolated group and we got rid of the whole group at once. Having the police investigate would have been preferable in case it wasn't, but I guess not everything can go your way. At least she is fine and it seems like they might not have other members or backup.' he thinks to himself. He will be making sure to keep a closer eye on his sister for the next few days at least though, even if it means slowing down his grinding temporarily, he can't risk there still being more of them and them taking further action.
'Though she can probably protect herself now.' he sighs. Part of him is happy she has the power to protect herself now, but that is in regular human society. 'Being a Fullbringer means she might be nearly completely safe from normal humans, but there are other dangers to keep in consideration for a Fullbringer.'
He would want to find a Fullbringer to teach her. If he could he would want to teach her himself however with both him being a Hollow and the way he learns system skills although he is very proficient at using his skills, teaching someone else not so much. He doesn't want her to get involved with Xcution and Kūgo Ginjō though so getting a Fullbringers teacher is off the table too. He will have to figure something out eventually.
He returns to his home early in the morning to meet up with Reina.
After breakfast Reina quickly runs out and gives him a hug.
"So...so... why do I have power?" she asks excitedly shaking his arm. It seems a good night of rest took the edge off yesterdays events.
"So it seems you were affected enough by my spirit power to become a Fullbringer which is a high spirit power human being with hollow spirit power mixed in." he says.
"Why is it called that? Are you just making that up?" she asks. She could kind of make sense of hollow with the hole he had in his chest, but Fullbringer just seemed like weird name.
"Well it allows you to bring out the soul of objects. Hence the bringer part." he says avoiding the reason why he knows these names. Her finding out and explaining being a Hollow was already unintentional and a lot to explain, explaining that he was actually reincarnated was a whole other level of complicated to explain let alone the implications that in his former life this whole world was a work of fiction. No need for those kinds of nihilistic discussions when it didn't matter anyway. He felt like he was still real and the same went for his feelings regarding his family,
"So what does that mean?"
"Hmm, well I don't know the exact details as I don't have any experience with it and though your powers do have a relation to Hollows it's a very distant connection. My powers work on a very instinctual level considering Hollow are normally little more than mindless beasts." he explains.
"For example by manipulating the soul in objects you should be able to affect them to some degree such as moving them, but also assist in your own movement. Or by condensing or fixing in place water or air you could stand on those. There's probably a lot you could do by using this part of your power in creative ways." he starts explaining the possibilities of her power.
"However your power, unlike mine since you don't have a spirit body, relies heavily on your physical body. Meaning to improve your ability to use your power you would need to improve your body." he tells her with a teasing tone.
"Wait, I have to exercise? That's not fair!" she responds with a frown on her face. Though she is healthy she's more of the bookworm type than the gym type.
"Yep, the stronger your physique the more power you will be able to use in turn." he nods.
"Argh. Fine. At least I have powers." she says crossing her arms and pouting.
If he had lips he would have smirked. She might have gotten a lot older, but she still had her adorable moments.
"Well...moving on. Another part of your power is what you did back in the warehouse. Sometimes for items you have a particularly strong connection with you are able to pull out their soul and infuse your own soul to manifest them into objects with special powers. I can't tell you much about the powers you got from yours since it's not some kind of standardised power. Each is completely unique to it's owner and the object." he says.
"Ok, so I'll need to experiment." she's already stopped pouting having long forgotten that she was annoyed when thinking of her new powers.
"Also after the bad news there is some good news. Just like how my hollow spirit power is what lead to you awakening you it should also continue to stimulate your Fullbringers powers simply by being around me." he told her. Though he knew it would be a much smaller effect than she would experience if he brought her to Hueco Mundo with him, but that wasn't a risk he was willing to take so it was better to avoid telling her about this.
She was looking even more excited finding there was a way to get stronger with minimal effort simply by hanging out with Hisashi.
"You'll still need to exercise though." he crushed her hopes immediately.
"We'll try to figure out some better ways to improve your power over time. For now just focus on improving your physique and experimenting with your power." he says.
