Huff... Huff...

Uryuu was kneeled on the ground while panting. His forehead was covered in sweat.

He stared at the spiritual wall with a cross hair on it's center with a a dumbfounded expression. It's been a month since he started to train. Every day he would shoot arrows till he ran dry, then rest and shoot again. This would continue till the sun set.

However, no matter how many times he shot at the spiritual wall, it never showed even the tiniest crack. At some point he doubted if his teacher was fixing the spiritual wall every day. However when he asked his teacher's wife she smiled and reassured him that it wasn't the case.

Then that would mean he couldn't even break through a spiritual wall set by his master a month ago. Even though he has experienced this feeling of being dumbfounded several times, he couldn't help it.

The spiritual wall that was his practice target didn't even have a scratch on it's body. It looked as good as it was when it was created.

Leo walked out from the house and came beside him.

"Your spiritual energy isn't condensed enough. Have you been doing what I've asked?"

Uryuu nodded. He showed a strained expression and said, "Draw an arrow and a bow ten thousand times before I sleep. I've been doing that."

Leo smiled and said, "Don't look so distressed. It's for your own good. When you condense an arrow, it should be flawless, and it should come to you naturally."

Uryuu nodded.

Leo explained, "Whenever you create your weapons your spiritual...

"Orihime, your offensive strength isn't worth mentioning. But don't be disheartened. You have a role that only you can do."

"Ichigo is a fool who charge head into trouble. Chad a bit man with brute strength. As for Uryuu, he is too proud."

"All of them needs someone who could cover their shortcomings. They all need a shield that could protect them at critical moments."

"Be that shield."

"Realise your potential and your worth. They all need you."

Orihime bit her lips. Her emotions surged when she heard the recognition in Leo's words.

Leo smiled at her, "You are not weak, Orihime. Just a bit lost. Your ability is your biggest aid, protecting your friends is your greatest wish."

"Those are enough for you to stand tall on the upcoming battles."

"And if that's not enough, you have me as your teacher."

"That's all you will ever need."
