Remus put all his new clothes that Kyoya bought for him; the older man really needed new clothes, and swore he's personally thank Kyoya later for them.
After a decent rest, the Uraharas were at the shoten, ready for another productive training session. They took out their soul candy dispensers to eat from them as their souls left their gigais – their fake human bodies. Soon after, they flash-stepped towards the training grounds underneath the shoten.
"Saa, let us start, shall we?" Kisuke suggested. "We still haven't a name for your Zanpaktou."
"Hai, Otou-san," replied Kyoya. Kisuke drew his sword from his cane and rushed forward towards his son. Their swords clashed together so fast that neither the naked eye nor humans without reiatsu couldn't see them. Yet even 15 minutes into this training session, Kyoya still hadn't heard his Zanpaktou's name – only the words, "Watashi no namae wa… It seems like you still can't hear my name, Gosyujin-sama. All you need to do is call my name and you can use my powers."
Somewhat startled by this voice, Kyoya still couldn't hear the Zanpaktou's name – or even any other words. But finally, after an hour more of training, Kyoya heard, "Call my name, 'Scatter, Yorukaze.'"
Repeating after her, Kyoya spoke, "Scatter, Yorukaze!" A blast of wind formed around Kyoya, leaving a long and sharp katana in his hand. As he contemplated the dragon etching on it, Kisuke's eyes widened in admiration. "That's enough Zanpaktou for today; well done, musuko-san, my son. You've got your shikai before going to Hogwarts. Now that you have these new powers, you'll need to protect yourself and others around you from Hollows."
"Hai, Otou-san!"
"It's time to practice the Kido spells. I trust you know what to do now?"
Kyoya nodded as he concentrated in gathering his reiatsu.
"Good, good." Kisuke circled around his son to properly survey his progress. "Now perform all the Kido spells that you can remember. We can work on any you left out."
Not long ago, Kyoya would have spent hours upon hours in training. But his experience had brought him far; the remainder of this training session took a mere hour, and he had only forgotten two Kido spells.
"And stop!" Kisuke ordered. "All right, let's get back into our gigais and have supper."
Ten minutes later, the Uraharas perused their ingredients to decide on what they wanted. "Okay, son, what do you feel like having?"
"Hmm… How about grilled salmon, rice, bok choy – all with teriyaki sauce? It would be a delicious rice bowl! And Remus-san might like it, too. Except maybe he'd want rare steak in his food, also."
"Excellent idea!"
In fifty minutes's time, Remus and the others had arrived at the dinner table – just after all the food was freshly made.
"Itadakimasu!" So started the dinner table conversation that was so engaging, fifty minutes had passed before they knew it. Now that they were finished with supper, the group of friends could rest for the day ahead, whatever it meant for them.
A few days after he had acquired the name of his Zanpaktou, Kyoya began to practice a graceful "swish-and-flick" movement for this levitation spell. It was hardly any easier than Kido spells, however, as it took Kyoya several hours to get the movement correct.
Having observed Kyoya for a good deal of this training, Remus came out of hiding as he clapped. "Good job, Kyoya-san!"
"Remus-sensee." Kyoya turned around.
"Let's say the spell and the movement out loud now. Are you ready?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Now, look at this book in front of you. Push your magic slightly with your reiatsu, and pronounce the spell while pointing at this book."
"Wingardium Leviosa!" The book lifted up on his first try as he pushed a little spiritual power into his magic to make it work.
"Well done, Kyoya-san! …All right, for our next spell, we will practice Lumos, a wand-lighting charm that can light up a dark room. The incantation is 'Lumos,' and its counterspell is 'Nox.' You're going to be practicing both within two weeks. Now, the movements for Lumos is the flick of the wrist, and the Nox movement is a small circle. The flick of the wrist will be a sharp, downward thrust. You have at least 2 weeks to practice, and so let's see you try it first with me. Do Lumos first."
Kyoya pulled his wand out, flicked his wrist downwards, and said, "Lumos!" To his surprise and joy, his wand lit up within seconds.
"Good job, Kyoya-san! If you were in a house already, I'd have given you points for this. …Okay, now try the counterspell."
"Nox!" spoke Kyoya, and the light disappeared.
"Well done! You've got this down, don't you?"
With just a little push, he knew he could do the spells almost perfectly because of his spiritual powers; Kido was a lot like Wizarding magic, after all. "I'll just tell people that it's a form of magic I made up. That way, they will stop bothering me if they ask about Kido."
"If you say so." Remus motioned for the lesson to continue. "Next, we will learn the softening charm, Spongify. Do a small tornado-like movement with your wrist whilst you speak the incantation."
"Spongify!" Kyoya performed the spell almost flawlessly.
"Ho, ho, ho… Well done – again! Next, we have Lumos Maxima. Draw an imaginary 'S' with your wand."
"Lumos Maxima!"And at that incantation, Kyoya's wand lit up even brighter.
"Great! That's the last spell for today, so we might want to find your father so we can have lunch."
Now that Kyoya and Remus were back in the shoten, Kisuke asked to no one in particular, "What shall we have for lunch today?"
"Ramen!" Kyoya readily volunteered.
"Well, that settles it!" Kisuke chuckled as everyone now head to the local ramen shop. Once there, he told the host, "A table for six, please."
So started another jolly conversation over food that once again allowed everyone to relax in a way they normally wouldn't.
