Chapter 3: A zanpukto materiliases?
Suddenly his right hand began to glow a fiery hot red and something slowly was materializing from the ground in a shower of sparks and flames as Mitch stood there stunned by what was happening while a faint and familiar voice whispered through his mind "Pick me up and wield me". Grabbing the katana it suddenly materialized completely, the hilt was a pitch black colour while the handle was the same and a square shape, the blade itself was long and slightly thicker than your standard katana while it had a dull shade of red,orange to it like a raging fire.
"What the bloody hell is that and how did you do that" Yakubu said completely stunned while flames danced and billowed around Mitch who felt power like he had never reliased flowing through his body. Running forward he clashed blades with Yakubu who suddenly
snapped to and took a swing at Mitch who parried the attack away easily then delivered an earth shattering strike that broke Yakubu's sword in two as the tip of Mitch's sword rested just at the tip of his throat "Whoa whoa please don't kill me, I'm sorry I won't mess with you or Alana again" he said bursting into tears before getting to his feet and running away.
Holding his new sword out in front of him he could still hear that familiar voice ringing through his mind "Find out my name and unleash my true power", Alana meanwhile had regained consciousness and was staring in awe at Mitch's sword when he finally realised she was staring. "Holy crap how'd you managed to summon your own zanpukto thats like the first for a student at the academy" she said dumbstruck as Mitch just stared at his blade "Wait this thing is a zanpukto?" he was just completely confused and lost by the entire situation and what was going on. "Quickly we have to go and see the Principal about this" Alana said grabbing Mitch's hand and dragging him along with her as he only hoped he wasn't in any trouble for what was happening.
"So errr I'm not in trouble or anything am I" Mitch said nervously as the head teacher named Yakato stared at Mitch's zanpukto in awe, he picked the sword up turning it about in his fingers and gazing closely at the blade before handing it back to him. "Oh no most definitely not, I mean the brawl perhaps but Yakubu started it and you were unarmed so theres no fault there, but this never before has a student managed to materialised a zanpukto let alone in their first year without any knowledge of how to call forth the blade either, its...its remarkable you are one of a kind", not knowing whether to take that as a compliment or some strange insult Mitch just continued to keep quiet "Well I can definitely see you're made for the 2nd year instead of the first you have a strange aura and hidden potential" "So um can I go now" Mitch said anxious to escape and retreat back to his dorm and take in everything that had happened.
Finally after being let out Alana was already waiting for him outside the office eager to hear what happened "So so what happened in there" "Well not that much he said I'm unique and its remarkable I managed to do this also that I'm definitely starting 2nd year classes tomorrow". Arriving at the dorms Alana walked off towards the girls area as she waved goodbye "Well see you tomorrow then, I'm sure we'll be in the same class". Wandering back to his room he ran into a shinigami just leaving the room next door to him, the boy was about the same height as Mitch but much more stockier in build with a bit of fat hanging off him, he had long shaggy brown hair and his uniform seemed a bit more unkempt and messy compared to the others. "Oh so you're my next door neighbor, pleased to meet you my names Julian but you can call
me Julz" he said extending out an arm as Mitch shook back glad at least one male was finally his friend and didn't attack him, "I'm Mitch its a pleasure to meet you" "Oh so you're Mitch the guy who beat Yakubu you're like some legend here because of that no one has bested him in sword combat before".
"Great I try to lay low and now I'm already sticking out" Mitch thought to himself as he laughed nervously "Yeah that would be me, I'd say it was beginners luck more than skill, I'm sure if we fought he'd beat me this time" eager to just get back into his room he slowly slipped in as Julz called out to him "Well it was nice meeting you, I'll talk to you some other time then". Slumping into his bed he let out a big sigh "Finally I can sit down and relax, what a hectic first day" looking over towards where his zanpukto lay the familiar voice echoed throughout his head again "Learn my name and unleash your true potential" "Just what is your name" Mitch found himself muttering as the voice echoed again this time even more muffled "My name is ...". "Ugh how annoying I can't hear him again, seriously who is he and why do I have to find out his name for" the whole ordeal gave him a migraine as Mitch decided to get some early rest and be refreshed for his first day.
"Oh bloody hell not this again" he said opening his eyes and staring into complete darkness, stumbling slowly forward he could see in the distance a giant wall of flames and something was in between the flames coming closer and closer to him. As the figure slowly came into sight he noticed it was a giant hulking wolf, the creature stood at about Mitch's height just on its four feet alone, its fur was black and spiked back with a slight tinge of red streaking it through it like flames, his eyes burned a bright orange and red colour while the giant fangs were bared back in a snarl but his tail was wagging back and forth. "Alright so just who the hell are you" Mitch called to him as a muffled voice escaped his throat "My name is ..." was all he heard as the crackling of flames and fire smothered out the creatures name "Wait what I can't hear you" "Hear me my name is..." "DAMMIT I CAN'T HEAR A THING" Mitch roared in frustration as suddenly he was plucked out of the dream world
and was jolted violently awake to find Julz and Yakato in his room both with a look of concern on their face.
"So... what are you two doing in my room and what's with the worried looks" he said looking across at his bed to find the sheets were completely burned to a crisp. "Well Julz came to me saying he could hear you screaming in your sleep and as I came to see the problem there was a giant surge of reaitsu coming from your room and as I entered your body was literally on fire and thrashing about, I went to go and wake you but a giant hulking wolf emerged snarling and taking a swipe at me". Mitch sat upright and stared across at his zanpukto the wolf life creature in his dream coming freshly to his mind, "I had a dream like the one I just had before back when I was staying at the village with the other orphans and apparently there was a great fire that killed everyone in there except me, did I do that?" Yakato quickly looked to the floor and his reaction made Mitch realise straight away it was him. "So what exactly do these dreams mean and who is that giant creature I keep seeing" "Well from my guess it would be the spirit of your zanpukto trying to communicate with you and get it to learn your name, but for you to be seeing and hearing it so quickly is amazing, but enough of that try and get some rest before your first class" as Mitch lay back down Yakato placed a finger on his forehead "Well with that you should be able to sleep peacefully and not worry about your reiatsu fluctuating out of control".
