"Right~! That is what we are here for today, ne? ♥"

Adopting a serious posture, he took out his fan and strode back and forth before Shiro-kun as he lectured. "Kido is simply focusing your reiryouku - that is, your spiritual energy - for some sort of purpose. A chain, a barrier, a fireball." He grinned, knowing which one Shiro-kun was most interested in.

"You already know how to do Cero." (Saw it first-hand, thanks.) "So now we'll work on other forms for your energy to take rather than that. There are chants to help you focus and form the energy properly."

Stopping his pacing he faced Shiro-kun with a most serious look on his face.
"The first one I'll have you memorize is for the level one hadou, Shō.
Repeat after me: 'Barrier of love and justice, repel my foe! Hadou One, Shō!"

Shiro was a surprisingly attentive student, those feral eyes trained on Urahara, sort of like a predator watching its prey. Indeed, he grins a little when Urahara mentions fireballs. Of course, barriers and chains had their uses, too.

"Wait, it's all the same energy?" Kidou wasn't some special thing that had to be... he didn't even know. He thought it was somehow inherently different than Cero, but it actually sort of makes sense. "... Chants?"

His face falls at the sound of that... really stupid chant. "... Love and... justice? Really? Do I really gotta say that?!"

[so_heretohelp]

"Yes, same energy! ♥ One reiryouku per person!"

Keeping his face straight, he nodded. He then added a dramatic, heroic pose for effect, a strong crouching stance and one arm thrust out. "Yes~! Just like this. The stance will help you too." He smiled encouragingly. "Go ahead and try!"

[holeheart]

Shiro growled and rolled his eyes again, facing the target. He crouched, though not quite as extremely as Urahara and he swallows, obviously feeling self conscious about the incantation. His face, sneering as it is, is probably also a good indication. So he speaks that part as quietly as he thinks he can get away with.

"Tch... Barrier of love and justice, repel my foe," a bit louder as he thrusts his arm forward, palm out, "Hadou one, Shō!"

Surprisingly, the only thing that blows up is the target. Even a simple hadou like Shō, coming from one of the hideously powerful Kurosaki twins, results in the wooden target exploding into a shower of splinters from the shockwave and sends Shiro himself staggering back and on to his ass from the recoil.

Urahara's vast, vast amusement that he'd gotten Shiro-chan to do the silly chant dissolved into surprise as the target exploded into splinters. Looking down at Shiro-kun, who had ended up on his rear on the ground, he grinned broadly.

"Ohh~! Shō is supposed to push something, not explode it~♪" He frowned critically. "Clearly you need some finesse to your reiryouku manipulation. Next time, imagine yourself using a tiny breath of air to move a feather."
