Bleach: Teaching Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 247: Lisa’s Zanpakutō

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Lisa’s Zanpakutō
Rings of lightning surged toward
Yadōmaru Lisa
.
"Smash,
Haguro Tonbo
!"
Lisa didn’t dare hold back and immediately released her
Shikai
.
The hilt and scabbard locked together, spinning rapidly—
CLANG!!!
The rotating
Zanpakutō
struck the incoming ring and deflected it.
By then, Lisa’s Zanpakutō had already transformed.
The hilt and scabbard had fused into a single long weapon.
At its front was a wide, flat, paddle-shaped blade, with a black shaft.
Lisa’s Shikai didn’t have any flashy ability, but it significantly boosted her speed and power—
Haguro Tonbo
was a
status-enhancement type Zanpakutō
.
After getting some one-on-one guidance from her teacher a few nights ago, she had managed to form a connection with
Haguro Tonbo
.
It even gave her a challenge: if she could master a new sword technique before the match, it would reveal its name to her.
She had completed the challenge just in time and successfully attained her
Shikai
.
On the other side, the ring knocked away by
Haguro Tonbo
returned to the hand of
Kyōraku Munemitsu
.
"You actually batted away my ’Furai’?!" Munemitsu’s eye twitched. "What kind of monsterous strength does this girl have?!"
Whoosh—!
"Who are you calling a monster?!"
Lisa appeared behind Munemitsu, her face radiating cold fury.
That speed—!
Munemitsu’s eyes sharpened. Lisa’s
Shunpo
had clearly become much faster!
CLANG—!!!
Munemitsu barely managed to turn and block the heavy strike.
Instantly, a numbing force shot through his wrist and arm.
Lisa swung
Haguro Tonbo
again and again.
CLANG! CLANG!
After just two blocks, Munemitsu’s ring was knocked flying.
Startled, he quickly used
Shunpo
to dash behind Lisa and avoid the next strike.
Lisa planted
Haguro Tonbo
into the ground and used it as a pivot to spin mid-air.
Munemitsu was sent flying by a clean kick, nearly crashing out of the arena.
"Her speed’s shot up like crazy!" Munemitsu clung to the arena’s edge, his heart pounding.
Lisa pressed her advantage and lunged toward him.
"Then try this!" Munemitsu gritted his teeth.
With a wave of his hand, his single ring split into over a dozen
lightning rings
.
They moved even faster than Lisa’s Shunpo—dozens of rings quickly encircled her.
Lisa was forced to stop and deal with them.
She spun her long weapon, deflecting each flying ring with precision.
She looked like a war goddess descending into battle.
However, every time a ring collided, it released a small electric shock. Lisa’s hands were starting to go numb.
Luckily, she had already learned
Raikiri
, and had some resistance to this level of electricity. Otherwise, she might’ve been paralyzed by now.
The deflected rings circled back mid-air and came at her again.
Simply batting them away wasn’t enough.
Lisa lightly pushed off with her legs and leapt into the sky.
"You’re really resistant to lightning, huh..." Munemitsu was surprised she’d lasted this long. But seeing her start to dodge, he laughed. "Still, you can’t take too many more! ’Furai’s’ paralysis will get you soon enough!"
Lisa raised
Haguro Tonbo
, lightning crackling in her grip.
"I can’t fully control this move yet. If you surrender now, it’ll hurt less," she said coldly.
"Hahahaha! You’re gonna use lightning—on me?" Munemitsu burst into laughter.
Zanpakutō with lightning, fire, or ice attributes were fairly common in the
Soul Society
.
But common didn’t mean weak.
His
Furai
not only had powerful offense, but also granted him high lightning resistance.
Normal lightning attacks barely scratched him.
For Lisa to attack him with lightning—it was laughable.
Munemitsu raised his hand, and the dozens of rings shot toward her again.
At the same time, arcs of thunder wrapped around
Haguro Tonbo
, crackling violently.
A terrifying storm of power gathered within the weapon.
Even Lisa’s own hands began to split open under the pressure, blood trickling down her fingers.
Seeing this, Munemitsu’s scalp went numb. A wave of panic surged in his chest—it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.
He quickly redirected his rings to intercept.
They formed a barrier between him and Lisa.
And then—like a thrown spear—Lisa hurled
Haguro Tonbo
.
A bolt of lightning streaked through the sky.
BOOOOM—!!
Thunder roared across the arena.
Raikiri: Thunder Spear!
Raikiri
was the sword technique Lisa had learned just days ago.
After unlocking her
Shikai
, Raikiri had evolved in her hands.
The descending Thunder Spear shattered the barrier of rings instantly.
But the rings had bought Munemitsu a few precious seconds:
"Bakudō #39: Enkōsen!"
The lightning-infused spear clashed with a circular
Reishi
shield.
BOOM!!!
Thunder exploded, kicking up a cloud of dust and shattered stone across the stage.
Thankfully, the spectator stands were protected by a
Reishi barrier
placed by instructors—otherwise, the students would’ve been caught in the blast.
"Whoa—Lisa’s really this strong now?!"
Isshin
was stunned.
His impression of her was still stuck on who she was before the tournament—he hadn’t expected this much growth.
"Lisa’s come a long way,"
Aizen
said with a calm smile.
"I knew she’d been practicing ’Raikiri’ in the mountains, but I didn’t expect it to reach this level of power,"
Komamura
nodded, mentally marking Lisa as a threat who would require his full strength.
Kyōraku Shunsui
frowned. "Katori-kun, you taught her that move? That’s way too dangerous!"
It was a good thing Munemitsu had used
Enkōsen
, or he would’ve been vaporized!
He’d been ready to jump in himself if the shield hadn’t gone up.
With Munemitsu’s spiritual body, he wouldn’t have survived that attack.
Katori Nanatsuki
was also watching closely, ready to step in if needed.
But once Munemitsu deployed
Enkōsen
, Nanatsuki held back.
"That looks like a variant of the ’Raikiri’ technique,"
Yoruichi
mused, rubbing her chin. She was very familiar with Raikiri and immediately spotted its essence in the attack.
"Lisa’s Zanpakutō,
Haguro Tonbo
, seems able to absorb and condense even more lightning. When it unleashes Raikiri after that—it becomes something entirely new," Nanatsuki nodded in agreement.
