Chereads / Bleach: The Shinigami Quincy / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - Bambietta Basterbine

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - Bambietta Basterbine

It has been a year and Adam is currently practising his archery when he heard an extremely pleasant and beautiful voice behind him.

"Hey! You are a Qui—"

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Adam quickly turned around and shot 100 arrows in the span of 0.1 seconds at the person behind him, while he used Hirenkyaku to quickly move backwards. He looked behind him and saw a young girl.

The young girl is slender with long, straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings with a red trim on her gloves and boots. She wears a red heart-shaped belt buckle and a white cap with gold trimmings, which features a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front.

"Hey! Why did you attack me immediately? I am a Quincy! Just like you!"

"What are you doing here? Me, my brother, my adoptive uncle and aunt, and my adoptive grandfather are some of the only remaining Quincy alive. State your purpose before I make you!"

The girl seemed to have a temper tantrum about being attacked as she yelled at Adam. Adam asked her a question before talking a bit more.

"Well…. I didn't really have a purpose. But now… I want to invite you to join the Wandenreich. So do you want to join us?"

"No. I won't join. This is because I don't want to join an organisation that I know nothing about and don't even know what your purpose is. Get out of here and leave…. This is private property."

"No! I don't allow it! You must join! You are too cute to not be near me to cuddle you!"

"I don't care."

"Fine! If you won't come willingly… I'll take you by force."

The girl and Adam talked for a bit before she decided to fight him. As she was about to fight him, Adam felt multiple hollows around the area where Soken Ishida is meant to be.

"My name is Bambietta Basterbine. What's your name?"

"My name is Adam Phoenix. I don't have time to play with you. I'm leaving now."

"Stop! I will attack you if you leave!"

The girl introduced herself as she created a spirit weapon in the shape of a sword, which she threatened Adam with when he told her he was going to leave.

Adam started to quickly escape which caused Bambietta to slash at him with the sword, creating a light cut in his back as he continued to race towards where Soken is as he felt his Reiryoku beginning to weaken.

After being attacked and escaping for a few minutes, Adam's clothes are tattered and his body is full of blood without any wounds. At this time he has arrived at where Soken Ishida is and saw him getting pierced by a Hollow which took out his heart. 

Adam's mind went blank as he subconsciously deactivated Blut Vene that he was using to increase his defense. Bambietta's sword pierced halfway through Adam before she realised something was wrong and stopped. She asked him.

"Are you alright? Why did you stop? How badly did I injure you?"

"G-GR-GRANDPA SOKEN!"

Adam screamed as his body began to rapidly heat up and cool down at the same time as his eyes became much more bright and turned into phoenix eyes without changing their colours. Adam's hair quickly lengthened until it reached his waist, and also turned the 2 colours of crimson red and icy blue, creating a beautiful and vibrant colour. 2 phoenix wings sprouted from his back, with 1 being crimson red and extremely hot, and the other being icy blue and extremely cold. 2 phoenix tails sprouted from his tailbone, with them being crimson red and the other being sky blue. 

Adam's wounds instantly regenerated as the surrounding temperature on 1 side soared to over 20,000 degrees Celsius in an instant and still rapidly rising. The temperature on the opposite side fell to under -150 degrees Celsius in an instant and still rapidly falling. 

Adam began to cry as he created fire that swallowed all the Hollows surrounding Soken as he held him with tears dropping on Soken's face as he wept. The tears that came into contact with Soken's face were absorbed by Soken as his wounds began to regenerate. 

"Adam, don't be sad over me dying. I'm relieved to see that my death has helped you awaken your Fullbring powers. You turned out to be a Phoenix… just like your name."

"Grandpa Soken! Why do you have to die for me to awaken my Fullbring power? I would rather never awaken them otherwise!"

Adam's Reiryoku began to fluctuate violently as it began to surge around the surroundings, as the seal that limits his Reiryoku began to struggle. Soken's heart had completely regenerated in the time before Adam's Reiryoku made the seal struggle.

"Hey. Adam. You will need to control whatever you are causing to happen or the old man will really die. Your tears seem to have a healing effect and his heart has regenerated."

Bambietta told Adam extremely concerned about the extremely small child. Adam raised his head and his eyes looked at Bambietta, not hearing what she said. His head tilted at her and looked at her questionably.

"His heart has regenerated, if you don't control the temperature he will really die."

After hearing what Bambietta said, Adam quickly noticed and controlled the temperature. He then looked at Bambietta gratefully and told her.

"Thank you. You are a nice person. If you want something from me that I can accept, you can ask me."

"It's okay. Are you okay? And can I give you a hug?"

"I'm fine and I allow you to give me a hug."

Bambietta asked Adam her request which he agreed to. Bambietta went up to him and wrapped her arms around him pulling him into her embrace. 

When he entered the embrace Adam smelled an extremely pleasant scent, felt warm, and secure. After being in the embrace for about 5 minutes the adrenaline from meeting Bambietta and watching Soken have his heart pierced began to wear off. Adam began to fall asleep as he began to lightly snore while being hugged by Bambietta.

Bambietta began to stroke Adam's hair and back as he fell asleep saying to herself.

"He's so peaceful now and his sleeping face is so cute. I've decided, when he wakes up I am going to take him as an apprentice and teach him everything I can. I want to protect his smile, it will be too painful to watch his cute face sad."

"If you want to accept him as an apprentice you will need his consent. I have taught him most of the basic Quincy skills and he has mastered them to an extremely high degree. I don't know if you have any other purpose towards him but if you are going to invite him to join the Wandenreich, please wait until he is at least 10 years old."

Soken has woken up and heard what Bambietta said, so he said that to her. Bambietta continued to stroke Adam's hair as she positioned herself to give him a knee pillow.

After about 30 minutes Adam woke up. When Adam opened his eyes he felt that what his head is resting on is extremely comfortable and saw Bambietta's smiling face looking down at him as she stroked his hair.

Adam immediately began to blush as he quickly got up from her knee pillow. Bambietta caught Adam's hand and asked him.

"Hey, Adam! Would you like to be my apprentice?"

"Um…. Okay. I would like to be your apprentice. What would you like me to call you?"

"Yeah! I would like you to call me Bambietta. Can you show me what Quincy techniques you have learnt and your mastery of them?"

"Bambietta, I normally practise at the training ground where you saw me. Should I show you there?"

"Okay, we will do that."

Adam accepted the apprenticeship and before going to the training ground, he asked Soken.

"Grandpa Soken, do you want me to take you home?"

"No need. You just make sure to come home before dinner."

"Okay. Make sure to be careful on the way back home."

After they talked a few sentences to each other, Adam went to the training ground with Bambietta.

'Leon, can you please show my skill proficiency?'

'Sure.'

After checking the skill panel Adam was slightly surprised at all the Fullbringer abilities he had. As they reached the training ground Adam first created a bow out of Reishi and Reiryoku that looked like it was made of metal as he quickly began to shoot countless holy arrows created from Reishi at targets that are all around the training ground. 

All the arrows each pierced 1 target and got a bullseye on all of them, the arrows hit all of the targets without missing one. Adam then turned towards Bambietta and asked her.

"Is my archery and spirit weapon okay?"

"What?! How are you this good at archery and also so good at using spirit weapons? How long have you been learning archery and spirit weapons?"

"I don't know why I am so good at learning and mastering almost anything that I know of, but maybe I am talented. I have been learning archery and spirit weapons for about a year."

'However, I have been using the Mind space system a lot when I am asleep, allowing me to practise the techniques in my mind with 100x the time flow rate. Leon said that because my body hasn't developed enough, I am learning slower than if I was older. He said that when I turn 5 I will learn about 10x faster and when I turn 10 I will learn 10x faster than when I was 5.'

Bambietta was stunned at how good Adam was at archery so she asked him in shock. Adam thought about how he masters most of the techniques quicker using one of the systems he has received.

"Okay. You can show me more of the techniques."

Bambietta said after composing herself trying to have the majesty of a teacher.

Adam then began to show her his Hirenyaku, Ransotengai, Blut Vene, Blut Arterie, and his swordsmanship using a Reishi sword. After showing her everything he has learnt Adam looked at Bambietta worriedly, as she looked stunned and is looking off into the distance.

"Bambietta… are you okay?"

Bambietta then came to her senses as she hugged Adam and smothered him with affection.

"I'm okay. Are you worried about me? How cute! I was just contemplating on teaching you how to use Vollstandig and Shadow as it is some of the only things I think I can teach you."

"It's okay. I am just happy that you want to teach me."

Adam responded to Bambietta with his voice muffled.

"Well…. I have 1 month free at the moment that I can teach you within. After that sadly I will have to go back to the Wandenreich."

"Okay, let's first have something to eat as it is time for dinner. Do you want to come to my house for dinner?"

"Sure, let's go. I will hold your hand to keep you safe."

Bambietta told Adam about how long she will be free, and Adam invited her for dinner. Bambietta agreed but gently grabbed his hand and started to walk with him towards his house.

At the house Uryu is waiting for Adam to arrive and when he saw Adam, he also saw Bambietta holding his hand. Uryu ran up to Adam and gave him a hug.

"Adam, what happened to your hair? And who is this?"

"Me? My name is Bambietta Basterbine, I am a Quincy and also Adam's new mentor."

"Hello, my name is Uryu Ishida, Adam's brother."

"Uryu, my hair has changed because I have awakened my Fullbring powers. Bambietta is going to have dinner with us so please tell Uncle Ryuken, Aunt Kanae, and Granpa Soken."

After some time, everyone has finished dinner and Bambietta went to find a hotel to stay in for a night.

It has come to the next day and Adam is checking all of his systems, which are: Skill Proficiency, Mission, Favourability, Mental Space, and Point Mall Systems.
