Educators, Vizards, and Manga [Tento | Chizuru ]

The air shimmered with an eerie luminescence as Tento stepped out the dark abyss of the garganta. The portal, a swirling mass of black and violet energy, hummed with latent power, connecting the realms. Tento's heart beat with a mix of anticipation as he stood out of the barrier of Karakura Central. With a breath he resolved himself and began to walk towards one of the checkpoints that allowed entry to the central point of spiritual development and research. Hd had heard About but this place but actually seeing it…even from the outside it could take his breath away.

He had wished this was for a vacati9n or social visit. But it was more of a serious nature. One that requees resolve as he handed his paperwork to allow entry and gave a friendly smile to the nod. It was so…strange not being in uniform. The Gotei may be disbanded but he felt more naked right now than when Noharu used her bankai.

When he emerged on the other side Tento found himself bathed in the soft glow of twilight. It may have been so early in the day but the bustling streets of Japan still sprawled out before him. already active. He hoped the person he was looking for could really help him. Chizuru, an esteemed educator from Shino Academy. Known for her flamboyant yet mature demeanor, Chizuru had built a reputation for her unique teaching methods and her exceptional skill in helping Vizards control their powers. She was a mentor, guiding those who struggled with their inner hollows, helping them find balance and strength. Her blend of confidence and charm, coupled with an infamous reputation for reading erotic manga and novels, made her both an intriguing and respected figure. From what people said she lived off of that contrast. But despite her aloof behavior, Chizuru's dedication to her craft and her ability to back up her antics with genuine talent had earned her admiration and credibility.

As Tento navigated the crowded streets, his thoughts were filled with the stories he had heard about Chizuru. Her passion for protecting Karakura Town in her youth had evolved into a mission to integrate Vizards into the Gotei United and train them in controlling their hollowfication. Her mature approach to these responsibilities contrasted with her playful persona, making her a compelling figure in the Soul Society and all the more alluring, to the sad news of her male students and seekers.

He understood the pain. She was a woman who was intelligent as much as beautiful from what people said. And as he stood outside of her school, Tento could only hope she could help him. "Ah...now...where actually is the entrance??".

Tento stood near the front gates of the school, scanning the area with a sense of anticipation. The familiar spiritual pressure he had sensed was… quite hard. It was not often he felt so many spiritual pressures that belonged to shinigami in one place. If it were not for them training their vizards powers, he would had no idea they were fellow vizards. The energies coming from the school were quite controlled. Even in his time at Shino with their instructors and the handler from the Gotei, he never had this many people…like him, in one place.

Hearing a voice, he turned, spotting a beautiful woman in a uniform. Purple hair and eyes with glasses. Her cheerful demeanor was happily returned back in its contagious nature, and Tento couldn't help but smile. In a short amount of time it seemed he had found the lady he was looking for. With a friendly greeting, Tento inclined his head respectfully. "Hello, Chizuru. My name is Tento. It's a pleasure to meet you".

Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Tento continued, "I’ve been searching for you. I've heard about your expertise and the incredible progress your students are making. I'm here to request your help and training, if possible. I believe there's much I can learn from you. I…want to better control my hollow powers and increase how long I can use them”. His tone was sincere and hopeful, reflecting his determination and the respect he held for Chizuru's accomplishments. It certainly wasn't easy and one she did not have to do.
