Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting warmth and brightness across the land.

Hisana rubbed her eyes as she slowly woke from a peaceful dream.

However, it wasn't the rising sun that had stirred her from sleep—it was the steady sounds of shouting coming from outside her window.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

The voice was clear and resolute, brimming with energy and determination.

Pushing open the window, Hisana's gaze fell upon the figure in the courtyard—Rukia.

She was practicing her sword swings with unwavering focus, each movement accompanied by a sharp cry, as if pouring all her strength into every strike.

Hisana sighed softly, a tinge of worry surfacing in her heart.

Ever since Rukia had set her sights on becoming a Shinigami, she had trained with relentless dedication.

Each morning, before the first rays of sunlight could fully illuminate the room, Rukia was already outside, throwing herself into rigorous practice.
