Noise pollution. (open)

The solitude and quiet of one of the smaller, older, and more remote training areas of what is now the fifth divisions domain is broken today by the melodic tones of earth based dance music. This particular training area while remote is within ear shot of the path to the den of maggots so while not directly in everyone's path many will cross this way.

From inside the walls of this minimalist training ground with a floor of hardened and packed clay and dirt open to the sky above rings a bell like metallic clang, matching the heavy and steady beat of the electronic dance number. The clangs however stop for every other song only to start up again when the next begins. On the air is the light smell of earth and maple, that just barely cut though the background smell of the surrounding trees

There on the inside is Tsukiko Okumura, fresh back from another set as guard inside the den of maggots focusing as usual on training. During the songs she dances along with the beat landing strong blows on a large metal pole on each heavy drum beat and moving seamlessly to kicks as she goes. A skilled observer would be able to tell that each blow is causing her some amount of pain and that at least for now she is not using Hakuda, instead she seems to be focusing on increasing her un-amplified base. As the song switches she moves to strength exercises, ranging from pushups and pullups to lifting makeshift atlas stones.

While she is focused on her training, she like a good member of the 5th would be paying attention to her surroundings, someone approaching would be noticed. However if one were skilled in stealth they may be able to observe without being noticed

Tsukiko, being focused heavily on her training wasn't able to notice the Captains presence before he spoke, that alone was enough to reflect poorly on her abilities within the Stealth Corps at least in her mind and even worse the sudden voice caused her next heavy kick to land poorly with a loud tell tale *THWACK*

Tsukiko took a deep breath and let out an obviously irritated sigh but kept her back towards the newcomer without looking back

"Yes, it's unorthodox but effective, I took my mothers style and made it my own, now if you don't miiiinnddd..."

Tsukikos voice trailed as she turned around recognizing the fact that the one interrupting her training was not only a Captain but the Captain of the fifth. She quickly snapped to the Omnitsukido style of attention more out of a sudden panic than anything.

"I apologize Sir, I did not realize who was addressing me. Yes it is my personal style, It is also synergistic with my shikai" She added with a far more respectful tone.

She was aware of Henrex Astillions appearance and reputation as much as a foot solder or scout would be though with her focusing on guard duty and training for so long she was not exactly up to date with every coming and going, much in contrast to her previous assignments.

Tsukiko blinks before giving a smirk, a compliment coming from a captain level was nothing to sneeze at

"Thank you, It's something that came naturally its served me well but it has a lot of room to improve " She adds with a serious tone.

Henrexes proposal caught her off guard, to her there was little other that took her time than training, it had been quite some time since she had trained with another, and she had never had the pleasure of exchanging blows with a captain. Even if he meant something far simpler the thought of it set a spark in her eye and subsequent smile that gave her answer before she could speak

"I could never turn down such an offer, if my time as a scout taught me anything, its that there are leagues that divide me and truly powerful individuals. I saw some of those battles I have a long way to go. My Hakuda and Hoho are sufficient but my Kido is sluggish. My shikai doesn't increase my range either so its a glaring weakness." She says matter-of-factly, with barely disguised enthusiasm at the thought of being able to train even briefly with a captain
