In order for one to get better you have to constantly train. In order to train one has to be passionately competitive. In order for one to be competitive they have to have a strong sense of pride. In order to have pride you have to have a stubborn will. In order to have will you have to have a purpose. Purpose is the genesis.
Yojimbo felt he had a strong sense of purpose currently and that is the reason why he was going to season his skill set. At this point of his shinigami career he admittedly was considerably weak, in a lot of areas, but Yojimbo was smart. If he was going to be a powerful shinigami in his own right, then he would have to play to his strengths. He knew he could cultivate towards his weakness or categories that he lack dedication toward, but for what?
Doing so made your weaknesses a bigger liability, once you as a warrior have estblished your strengths. THEN you can tend to heal your shortcomings, but until then your strengths should be your main priority. For, Yojimbo he was going to strengthen something that he regarded as a core trait. It was an asset of his he couldn't afford to let diminish, instead it was time to invest into it and watch it grow like a healthy stockmarket portfolio.
Of course this advantage he spoke of was speed. Speed was a gamechanger. It separates the combantants who almost had it, to the individuals that have it. A mere fraction of a second can determine if you live or if you die. Yojimbo didn't want to be that person who was on the bad end of that fraction of a second. Although he had his targeted principle he didn't have the how.
How was he going to build his speed up today, for the first three months so far he has been focusing on both the physical aspect and the intangible. The intangible being his reiryoku and conjoining it with his tangible movements. So far he is only capable of performing to a much lesser degree a form of shunpo, the Tobu. However he wanted to be able to perform a variation technique of the shunpo, the Fuzen Shunpo.
The technique was the next ladder to breakthrough in his path to the fastest blade in the Seireitei.
Currently the lion shined bright in the sky due to the cloudless atmosphere, Yojimbo stood surrounded by four large walls of slab that created a abundant fifty meters by fifty meters of open space covered in neatly trimmed grass. Each wall was at least 50 feet in stature and covered in a thatch roof common to the Seireitei. At Yojimbo's back stood a large wall with a double door entrance into the training ground that was typically used for hado.
For now Yojimbo was the only constituent in the vicinity and probably would be for the next several hours according to the academies scheduling. Standing confidently the shinigami's chocolaty milk duds scanned over the open area thinking of ways he could push his self and take his level of Hoho to another plateau.
'So here is where the fastest blade of the Seireitei will start. I need to challenge myself, push the limits of my body.'
