New Genin: Yoriko Morri!

More of Yoriko's eagerness came to the surface, causing his own equally cheerful smile to spread, and Henrex rose to his feet, drawing his own set of throwing stars, keeping two in one hand, while palming a third. So, taking a deep breath, Henrex held out the two weapons, quickly throwing them and causing a brief spark to flash in the air before one of the shuriken swiftly dug itself into the target.

"Bending a shuriken isn't really all that literal. Rather, it's using another shuriken to alter the trajectory of the first."

Henrex gestured to Yoriko for her to try it, before walking forward -- gesturing to her again to follow him -- and pulling the weapon out of the target.

"With enough skill and practice, you can use this to send shuriken around corners, hit targets more stealthily, or simply be more manipulative with your throws. There are endless applications you could use this for."

Picking up the other discarded shuriken, Henrex turned to hand them back to Yoriko as she suddenly perked up, grabbing at his side, causing Henrex to look down, seeing that her attention had been drawn to his sword, smiling awkwardly as he took the weapon off his belt and held it out for Yoriko to look at. However, if she attempted to lift it or grab it, she would find that the sword was rather...cemented in her master's hands, with the weapon not budging an inch from where it was.

"It's not all that exciting, Yoriko. It's just my Zanpakuto."

As if on cue, a scoff echoed in his mind, with Henrex mentally groaned at the noise. Manifesting next to him, Raiu crossed his arms in mock resentment, rolling his eyes as a way to be just a bit more dramatic before he spoke, the male's voice is equally deep as Henrex, yet also keeping the calm, level tone, showing another trait that they shared.


"Rude. I'm important too, you know."

"That wasn't what I was trying to imply!"

Henrex sighed and gestured to Raiu, lowering the sword to his side as Yoriko would likely be staring at the person that had suddenly appeared, quite literally, out of thin air.

"This is my Zanpakuto Spirit, Raiu."

The spirit smiled softly as he nodded to her, saying nothing in return, and simply waiting for Yoriko's initial reaction to them, and his Zanpakuto.
