Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Learning Vollstandig
At this time, Adam heard a knock on the door as a few seconds later it opened. From the door Bambietta walked in and started to talk to him after sitting on his bed and stroking his back.
"Adam, I don't know if this time is too early for you to begin training so let's talk for a few minutes."
"Okay Bambietta. I normally begin training in about 10 minutes. Is there anything you want to talk about?"
"Well, I would like to know a bit more about you and what caused you to transform into something somewhat similar to a hollow."
"I don't really know much about it except that it is my Fullbring ability which is called Royal Fire and Ice Phoenix. It allows me to control fire, ice, snow, and water, it also makes me somewhat immune to fire, heat, ice, snow, water, and cold attacks and weather. It should make me regenerate extremely quickly, my tears have healing properties, and it should make me get stronger faster. It seems like I can transform into a Phoenix-human hybrid which increases the various abilities of the ability."
"That's awesome! It seems much better than my Schrift."
"Should we start to walk to the training ground?"
"Okay Adam. We will start to walk over there, I really want to have more time to spend with you. I don't know what it is but I feel compelled to be around you for a long time. When I am back in the Wandenreich I will try to make time whenever possible to meet with you even if it is only for a day."
"I would like that Bambietta. Can you tell me what a Vollstandig is?"
After they finished talking, they began to walk towards the training ground as Bambietta explained to Adam what a Vollstandig is.
"Quincy: Vollstandig is the evolution that we Quincies have made over the Quincy: Letzt Stil which died out 200 years ago because of its fragility. The Vollstandig can be used repeatedly and allows the user to retain their powers. The Vollstandig allows the user to fly at high speed with the Reishi wings generated when the technique is used, it enhances the user's spiritual awareness and their Schrift if they have one. It allows for the user to create a spirit weapon made entirely out of Reishi with the technique active. It also allows us Quincies to use a technique that allows us to absorb a large amount of Reishi when the Vollstandig is active via their Heiligenschein and can't be used if it is destroyed."
"So… is it hard to learn? Otherwise shouldn't all Quincies use this technique?"
"Well… it is very hard to learn and extremely exhausting. The way to learn it is similar to the technique of Quincy: Letzt Stil but is more exhausting, takes longer, and is harder to complete. I say that it takes most Sternritter about a month to 3 months, and if there is a rare talented non sternritter it takes about a 1 - 3 years to see results."
"So why do you think I can achieve it in a month?"
"Because you are in a trial period to see if you will be the one that I choose."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't worry… I'll tell you when I have decided."
As they were nearing the trial ground Adam heard Bambietta say something about choosing him so he asked her to which she replied, and started to quicken her pace to the training ground.
At the training ground Bambietta took out a white glove that extends up to the forearm stopping 2 inches below the elbow and gave it to Adam. Adam put it on and asked her what to do next.
"What you are going to want to do is to create a bow, if you want to you can try to have the bow the same as what you have managed to accomplish for the bow. After this you will have to undergo intense training that usually lasts for about a week. This intense training will make you have to keep the bow from dissipating for the whole time, while simultaneously shooting arrows as frequently as possible. After this you have completed the prerequisite for learning Vollstandig."
"Okay, is there any other requirements?"
"No, however it will be really exhausting especially because you are so young."
"I will be fine. What is the next requirement to learn Vollstandig?"
Adam began to form a bow after hearing what Bambietta said, with him taking 30 minutes to make the bow have the density of what he could accomplish without the glove on.
The glove is called the Sanrei Glove and is a glove that repels Reishi away from the wearer, causing them to have much more difficulty manipulating Reishi and using techniques.
Adam began to fire arrows shooting close to a thousand arrows in a second and not slowing down. Bambietta's face had a slight frown to it when she saw this but didn't say anything and continued to explain what the next step is.
"After you have completed this you will have to manipulate Reishi and Reiryoku to slowly transform the glove through a special technique into a special state where it binds to the person currently wearing the glove. After this is done they can change the shape and cause it to appear anywhere on their body and can be taken off once a month for less than 10 minutes without any repercussions without activating Quincy: Letzt Stil."
"That seems doable, is that all the requirements?"
"These are the 2 requirements before actually learning the technique which is the part that many Quincies can complete however the last part is actually where almost all Quincy get stuck at. The last part is also what I count the time as for learning the skill. The last part has you have to find the depths of your soul and engrave some Reishi and Reiryoku into it which is much harder for people without Schrifts."
"Okay. I will try to complete it, I sometimes feel something pulsing in both my eyes as scenes appear in them. In one of my eyes I see memories that I don't remember having or even it not being me. In the other eye I see various different scenery and it looks like different worlds or planes. Do you think that could have something to do with this Schrift you are talking about?"
Adam said to Bambietta which caused her to hold her head and think for about 5 minutes before she said.
"It could be that you have partially awakened yours but I don't really know."
They talked some more as time passed quickly and a week has passed. At the end of the week Adam has completed the first stage of the training and is currently trying to complete the 2nd stage.
3 days have passed and Adam has completed the 2nd stage. At this moment he is trying to enter deep into his soul which is further than where he met his Zanpukuto Spirit. Adam felt a feeling and went deeper into his soul and saw his soul.
His soul has 2 half created symbols on it which when he saw it, he knew what their completed forms are. He decided to try to complete them and time passed quickly.
It has come to the last 3 days of the month and Adam had completed his Schrifts and is currently completing the Vollstandig training. Another 30 minutes have passed and Adam had massive amounts of Reishi and Reiryoku come out of his body as it rose towards the sky before it got blocked by an invisible barrier.
Adam had 4 pairs of wings made of Reishi appear behind him. The pair of wings on the bottom look like Icy Phoenix wings and give off chills, and the pair of wings at the top look like Fire Phoenix wings and give off heat. The pair of wings that are the 2nd on the bottom look like they contain many different worlds as it is vibrant and gives immense space fluctuations and many other attribute like fluctuations. The last pair of wings look like they contain various different civilisations and show those civilisations from different views which some are like heroes, villains, beggars, kings, etc.
Above Adam's head appeared a Heiligenschein which looked like it was a world with various civilisations that are on it.
As Adam's eyes opened his eyes it seemed to contain endless wisdom, cunning, vicissitudes, many emotions which scared and worried Bambietta before it all disappeared without a trace.
"Bambietta look, I did it, I completed it and also finished my Schrifts."
"Yeah you did. Wait! Did you just say Schrifts?"
"Yeah, it seems like I have two however they are not directly combat based and extremely auxiliary and can only be used once every month or so."
"Are they weak?"
"No they are extremely strong and overpowered. But I am kind of scared to use them because I think it might change my personality."
"Why do you think it will change your personality?"
"It's because in one of them it allows me to go to other worlds and the other simulates another life and I will gain the experience from the other life."
Adam simply told Bambietta the basics of his Schrifts. After she heard that Bambietta went up to him quickly and gave him a big hug smothering him between her breasts.
"You shouldn't tell me this. What would happen if I used this information against you. Why do you trust me so much?"
"Shouldn't I trust you? You are my mentor or master, aren't you?"
"You should at least wait for a while longer. Geez, I really won't be able to live without you sooner or later."
Adam said simply which caused Bambietta to say to him before mumbling to herself.
"You know what…. I have chosen you and you can call me Bambi."
"Okay Bambi."
"I am going to teach you how to use the Shadow technique so that you can go into the Shadow Dimension."
Bambietta proceeded to teach Adam the Shadow technique which he learnt in 5 minutes.
After this Bambietta and Adam went around Karakura Town and bought things and had fun like a date.
At nighttime Adam is sleeping in his room as he begins to twitch, sweat, have muscle spasms, with tears rolling down his face, and looked like he was having an intense nightmare. But in reality his Schrift Another Life is currently active.
He is living the life of a Shinigami within the era of the Quincy War 1000 years ago. He has watched his companions die and has lived for 500 years. In this time he has desperately practised his Shinigami abilities and various different weapon techniques, he has unlocked his Bankai and mastered most skills. It has currently came to the end of the Quincy War and Yhwach has just impaled Adam on his sword.
"Hey Yhwach! When we meet for real… I… will… kill… you!"
Adam said his last words as that life ended in the bewildered face of Yhwach.
Back in his room and in his bed, Adam's eyes shot open as he gasped heavily and he shot up from his bed. Bambietta appeared in his room from the shadows as she hugged Adam gently and pat him on the back.
"Are you alright? What happened? Did you use your Schrift? Did someone kill you?"
"I… think I'm… alright, I used my Schrift and was killed by… Yhwach back in the period of the Quincy War close to 1000 years ago."
"Why did he kill you? Do you want to get revenge?"
"I want to get revenge but that's only part of the reason."
Adam began to tremble in timidity and uncertainty.
"Can you tell me the full reason?"
"It's because of my Schrift called Another Life, I seem to have had memories of a past life before I was born, however my mental age regressed back towards infancy. In that life everything in this world was described through a book and Yhwach doesn't care at all about Quincies… he treats us Quincy as tools to achieve his goals and will dispose of us if needed. He did that to almost all the Sternritter including you, he also disposed of almost all impure Quincy which is those of mixed blood except Uryu probably because of his Schrift."
Adam took a breath before he timidly raised his eyes and met Bambietta's and she continued to stroke him gently not caring about his past memories.
"Can you tell me how and why he disposed of us?"
"He used a technique that Power-Sharing Quincy can use which is called Auswahlen which takes back all the soul fragments he has given to the Quincy which is in probably all Quincy. With this technique it takes all the power of the Quincy for himself, he will use it on the Mixed-Blood Quincy when I turn 9 or I am 9 years old, so that he can regain his power in 9 years like the famous Quincy Legend. He will use it on the Sternritter in the battle with the Shinigami so that he can resurrect the Schutzstaffel that have died in the battle to take the Royal Palace where the Soul King lives and he still died in the end."
When Bambietta heard the reason why the Sternritter died and got their power taken, she was extremely angry.
"Bambi are you okay. You can't be too angry. I will find a way to make you unaffected by the Auswahlen and if you have any friends that you want to be unaffected I will also do it."
"Adam, I am okay. I just didn't expect that he would do that. I won't worry you about it until you are older. Now you just need to get some sleep. Would you like me to sleep with you?"
Adam blushed while saying yes extremely quietly. Bambietta got into his bed as she hugged him gently, and he fell asleep quickly in the warmth of her arms and her fragrance.
Adam woke up the next day and saw Bambietta staring at him with a small but extremely beautiful smile on her face.
"Morning Adam. Did you have a nice sleep? I know that I did."
"I had a nice sleep. Thank you for sleeping with me."
"Okay. I've got to go back to the Wandenreich, I will come back when I am free."
"Wait! Bambie… I am also part Shingami. I am part Quincy, part Shinigami, and can be considered slightly part Hollow because of my Fullbringer powers. I just want to tell you before you go."
"Well. Thanks for being honest. See you later."
Bambietta began to leave before coming back and giving Adam a kiss on the forehead after hearing him tell her about his races. Before she went into the shadows and went back to the Wandenreich.
Adam went to get ready and asked in his mind.
'Leon…. Can you open my Skill Proficiencies please?'
'Sure. Also you have completed some missions.'
