One of the problems of being up this early, is the lack of food choices. One must rely on their own personal stash to avoid training on empty, luckily Malix had a few protein products to tide him over until the mess hall opened. Chasing down the tasteless bars with a breakfast shake, he made his way out of the barracks. Careful as to not awaken any of the sleeping lumps upon his departure. Bearing only his Shitagi as to not ruin any more of his outer layers, it made feeling the brisk morning air easier.
With his destination and scheduled meeting time clear in his mind, the young looking soldier set out early to ensure a warmup. Kasumi was pressed for time given her new position, so anything he could do to save time would likely be appreciated. The streets of the Seireitei were empty yet peaceful in this brief window before dawn, for those like himself that enjoyed solitude. For now, he'd have to ignore his urge to stroll, using this time to get a good jog in. With a steady pace, the man began his track towards the First Division's training ground.
With his head start, Malix took some of the time to run a more indirect route, only pausing to work in some stretches before resuming his run. Still he managed to arrive early despite the detours, so with his remaining time he laid down in the middle of the grounds and looked up at the sky.
Recollecting his life up till this point, he found it funny that he had to die in order to become more dedicated to his work. True he spent most of that time wandering the fringes of the Rukongai, but it was his time there that started him on this path. Picking fights with thugs, who thought the weak were their personal punching bags. Helping others who struggled to maintain the shacks they called home. He spent nearly a century standing up for the little guy, before deciding to become a Shinigami. His only real goal, to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.
He soon realized, after the recent invasion, that he had a long way to go. Since then his passion only grew stronger, which is why he was here now. Learning Shunko would surely help him achieve his goal. Thankfully Kasumi was kind enough to offer what little time she had to help him on this quest. Something he would definitely try to repay her for, how would remain to be seen later on. Until then he simply awaited for the young lady to arrive.
