Chapter 31 - More preparations

Guerra watches Southern Ciudad on the highest part on one of the giant trees. He admires the progress the city has made through industrialization, metals clanking, hollows calling for each other, and adjuchas managers firing their factory workers for simply asking about needing better pay, the Hueco Dream.

On a garganta, Eusbio hands him a clipboard and says.

"Here are your requested analytics, my Emperor."

Before Eusbio left the garganta to do other work

In the training facility, Wilfred prepares to punch Ojog as he's also preparing to counter it. Once again, Wilfred partially activates his resureccion by only activating the gauntlets on his fist. Both Ojog and Wilfred's fist made contact and hit each other. Ojog's entire arm broke and caused severe bleeding, forcing him to grunt in agony, but his soul didn't give up yet. Utilizing his other unbroken arm, Ojog grabbed the exact same gauntlet and used endlessity to destroy it by making a pulling force like cero azul inside his hand. Wilfred gritted in pain seeing that his entire hand has been broken. In retaliation, Wilfred swung his other arm at Ojog, but Ojog was able was able to fire a very weak and unconcentrated cero rojo at the arm. Seeing the small window of oppurtunity, Ojog used sonido to get up close and personal to atleast get a hit on Wilfred's face, but Wilfred simply uppercutted Ojog's entire body, sending him to the ceiling and knocking him out of the fight as he fell to the floor.

Ojog lifted himself up and puked out blood afterwards while Wilfred approached him as he returned his fists from their previous form.

"I'll give it to you. For once, you're using your abilities tactically. I bet that throughout your life as an arrancar, you were just hitting, and spamming ceros to the pour souls that came in your way. That's great, we are seeing progress. Now get your ass up, I ain't done with you yet, you clearly lack something."

Ojog injects the needle connected to the healing machine and dusts himself afterwards while also saying:

"Wipes his mouth* Apart from my lack of spiritual energy, what else is there I lack of?"

Wilfred raises his eyebrows in disbelief of what Ojog said and replies dumbfounded.

"Are you that dense? Your cero is just not it, it's so weak and unfocused that it shows that you really just relied on raw power. 

Cero, the ability to shoot out powerful damaging beams is the power that only hollows wield and we take pride in it. That's why you shouldn't just aimlessly shoot it out whenever or else this is the result."

Ojog removes the needle and stands up and stretches and attempts to reassure Wilfred.

"I'm pretty sure. I'm already set on doing the cero thing, there's no need for-"

Wilfred fires a powerful cero but intentionally misses Ojog's body, breaking the wall behind him. Afterwards, Ojog screams very loudly at him, risking his life to prove a point.

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU DUMBASS?!"

Wilfred brushes off Ojog and attempts to convince him.

"You know, as a gillian class arrancar, I don't have much spiritual power compared to the others within the comandante rank. So far, compared to my spiritual energy, you're missing a 1/3 of that energy. But anyone could perform a cero at that level with enough training. So you better practice hard because I won't stop until you are deemed strong enough by the Emperor. So ready up!"

Ojog stands there silent and gives thought to what he's been doing so far.

"This day has been exhausting, I lose everything I have and I've been hrk-humbled numerous times. This is so damn annoying, I've been showed how reliant I am to my powers. I've got no choice."

With his experiences throughout the day, he decides to choke down his ego for him to finally improve. Ojog loudly calls out Wilfred, determined to learn.

"You've convinced me enough, so show me how a skillfully fired cero is unleashed."

Wilfred is slightly shocked that Ojog dropped his ego for a second, regardless, he still teaches him.

"Alright then. Despite what I said, the cero isn't also just a powerful beam, it's a gift and a nod to one's mastery over their control over their reiatsu. You need to put everything into your cero through emotions, the basic factor for strengthening spiritual power."

Ojog scoffs and questions the statement.

"Emotions? Really? What a dumb-"

Without any hesitation Wilfred flicked Ojog with his newly formed gauntlet, sending him flying to the wall.

"Let me finish! Emotion applies to every race out there when strengthening reiatsu. What I do with every fight is to simply just add a goal at the back of my mind. But let me ask you this. Do you have any goals?"

Ojog sits up and thought about it for a while, his mind was busy inside, trying to figure out what he wants."

"I want... to be greater than my previous self."
