Himari Spiral Bomb Dev 1

[03:06] Amber hues lock with Zachary's; a hand rests upon the Kurokaiyo's thigh briefly.

"I've been looking for you but we can warm up a bit first if you want."
(Himari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:13] Solon looks between the two? Why was she looking for him? Did it have something to do with the talk they had at the dojo? Most likely. His thoughts pause for a moment then it gets back into gear.

Maybe she can put me out of my misery too?

What the hell sorta beef so they have... The knight shakes his head in confusion. "Uhhh what?" Still in a tad bit of shock. Why the hell does she want to kill him? Or does Zach want her to kill him?

Of course the two of them have enemies. Though this close to home. Huh. He decides for now its best not to dwell on it and watch... whatever happens.
(Solon Tofusin )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:13] There was some life finally returning to the remaining eye he was born with, but the other just held an ominous glow.

He would begin to walk past her. His neck had bruises in the shape of thin fingers and there was blood. It was dried and not enough to raise immediate concern, but it was smeared on his face and down his neck. He smelled of the iron in the blood and a hint of something else.

"I can't really assume for what the honor would be. I've had people look for me in all sorts of manners. Hopefully I didn't do something to upset you as well."

He raised a hand to her and flicked all of his fingers together. A gentle wave of energy passed her visage and waved the unruly strands of her hair that wasn't tied up.
(Zachary Retinea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:19] There seemed to be a bit of a misunderstanding. Himari would've corrected it soon, but for now she would only eye the Retinea as he passed her and headed onto the mat. The signs of dried blood and hints of iron that resided on him didn't not raise alarms within the Kurokaiyo one bit.

Things were just better left without asked.

The gentle wave of energy that caused the strands of her hair to blow up a bit past her face would acknowledge the moment she raised her own hand to put them back down. Her body would move and she would lock eyes with Zachary momentarily.

"Oh, no. I'm not upset about anything but I can see why you'd think so in a world like this. See, I've seen your skill from when you fought that woman we talked about. I only ask of you to be my teacher.. in a sense."

She followed the boy more onto the mat, facing in front of him, and leaning to side of her body. "I hope it is no trouble."
(Himari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:30] The Rhoynishman eyes Francois.
(Arthmael Dioltas)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:32] The eyeing intensifies.
(Arthmael Dioltas)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:34] His pace was slow as he strides towards the center. His hand went to his neck to feel the bruises. They still hurt like hell and he was sore.

I only ask of you to be my teacher.

Those words sat on his mind as he looked up from the floor. In his imagination, his master was standing and watching some yards away from him. Her dainty demeanor and stoic expression spoke to him in spirit.

She needs those qualities. Hope, observation, thoughtfulness, ambition.

His mind turned back time to five years ago when he heard those words himself. She had shown promise already being a true friend to someone he really cares about.

"We can talk about concurring in private. Let's demonstrate our resolve."

It was a stern suggestion that was backed by his serious tone. He turned back to her. There wasn't a hint of exertion or an obvious activation. The pluming wisps of energy gathered around him. It was calm. He was already prepared for the match.
(Zachary Retinea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[03:43] Himari lets off of one of her legs to straighten her posture. The green-haired Kurokaiyo continued to watch as Zachary heads towards the center of the mat. She's seen what he can do and if anyone was more skilled in the area of expressing your power through raw energy and mana, it was him.

Not even Id, who has possessed something that was equal or stronger than her Family's Hidden style could match how skillful he was. That is why he was the better teacher to ask.

"Just say a date and we can discuss. Now, I can't say I'll prove much of an opponent but I'll try my best."

Himari would head towards the center and be just a few feet away from Zachary. She pressed her hands against her hips and began channeling her mana throughout her body to burst them and raise her power. The ground shook slightly and her hair flowed slowly above her head.

A vein protruded upon her temple until a blue veil would wrap around her frame. The Kurokaiyo now full charged to her liking. The difference? Her hair had transitioned to blue from green.

"Alright, I'm ready when you are."
(Himari Kurokaiyo)

[05:27]
{LOAD GAME}

[05:27] Francois cos Duran says, "Have a good training."
[05:28] Zachary Retinea says, "Whats that supposed to mean"
[05:40] Himari noticed the strength that Zachary upheld constantly. It made sense to why he was knight and was considered one of the strong ones. He expressed his power better than most of the raw mana users that came to the dojo.

Himari however, was looking towards the ball of mana that Zachary seemed to output from his palm. A burst of energy that would erupt into her abdomen and send her backwards while Zachary kept the momentum. It was quick and unexpected and Himari hasn't had the experience until now to be hit by one of those.

Albeit, she was completely overwhelmed and but her way of being a martial artist would shine through. Against a sword? It might've been useless but her determination burned just as bright as the bluish coating of mana around her frame.

Her soles slowed her skidding across the mat and she'd look up reassuming her stance after being pushed back by Zachary once again. She said no words and only kept her concentration.
(Himari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:54] An ominous glowing blue eye watched her from behind the visor of his helmet. Himari wanted to learn, but it was easier to just say that, but the truth is that Zachary would then have to teach. He found that to be difficult with his lack of real social skills. He would already begin to teach her by watching how she moved and used the energy.

It was inefficient. All of it.

Zachary himself, even in dark armor, danced around the field quite literally. No step was out of place or lost momentum as he swayed through the raging battle. Every swing of his sword, spell cast and gesture had a purpose while he fought. Zachary gave the remains of his entire spirit and focused them into his actions. That is what continued to persevere in strength even after having his essence taken.

With a swing of his sword he would miss and he would turn only to fire a blast of energy from his foot. As an energy magi, your magic was you after all. Its limits would only be bound by ones imagination.

There would be space between them and a moment to rest before continuing.

I see observation and ambition. I may need to take up another approach to see if she has the rest of those qualities, Master.

"I'd be happy to call it a date. When works best for you?"

He knew full well that is not what she meant and he was being flirtatious and coy. Regardless he entertained the thought and amused himself by saying it nonetheless.
(Zachary Retinea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:17] Himari was noticing how inefficient she was getting with her skill. It wasn't how she fought but how she utilized her mana to fight. She was more focused on how Zachary used his own pure mana to dominate her throughout the match. There were obvious flaws in both but a lot less in Zachary and a bit more in Himari.

As a martial artist, Himari only used her body. While that tied in with her raw mana which was herself, she could say that she would be so much stronger if she tried harder. She just couldn't find the hole in her progression that was causing her to seem so less of what she could actually be.

Maybe it was the ability to control metaphysical things like gravity itself. It benefited her little unless she was at the tavern and needed to carry out a bit more orders but this wasn't the tavern. This was the dojo where she could show and test how much progress she's gain throughout her lifetime.

She lacked the ability to really respond when she was focused and concentrated on her opponent. She heard him prior to continuing but she didn't give him an answer until afterwards.

That would be soon, as Zachary was continuing to overwhelm the Kurokaiyo. His raw mana was much more extreme. He's had it longer than he and knew how to make it flow to his own liking.

She wanted that...

If Zachary was willing that is. A ball of raw mana even seemed simple enough but when Himari felt it for a second time, she knew the difference in its shape, power, and control. Somewhat felt like it took way longer than it should.

As her hair faded to green from her mana taking a bit of toll on her body, she'd kneel on the ground in defeat. She was catching her breath but got up nonetheless.

"Right.. Whenever I am free is fine," she voiced, finally answering his question from before.
(Himari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:26] * You have been awarded 1 Roleplay Points! *
[06:35] Himari was a quick learner. Or was it instinct to fear pain? She moved around more and had watchful eyes on him. It would show she was at least attempting to see something new from himself. He would slow down and show her a few things then.

When he generated mana, there was no sign of calling on anything. No stress or physical indication he was doing it. It looked like it simply appeared. The mass of energies were also dense because of how he exuded it. Through yarn like tendrils made of his mana that amassed in extreme numbers, his spells would be woven together. It was like distilling mana to its purest form.

…

The fight was quickly finished again.

Zachary saw the cost she payed to will her spells into existence. This is something he could teach. If a magi were straining their bodies and souls to cast spells based on ones self then it was done wrong.

It could be her attunement to another school ofmagic. Energy magic was vastly different from all other types. Having to focus on purifying mana at one stage then attempting to give her mana an actual characteristic in another spell sounded like a hassle. It takes up too much time and the strain is evident.

"I'm not allowed to leave Osrona due to my actions in the past for now and I'm not under any other orders."

"Just ask me now." He stopped beating around the bush, but he wanted her to say it.
(Zachary Retinea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:45] The knight just watches Zachary showcase the might of is skills. Nothing shown was surprising to him. Though the dark knight did have better control over his matter of magicks. Solon still relied quite heavily on his emotions to evoke. Luckily for him that has started to fade off.

His training had been useful towards that goal. His mental limit expanding to allow him to better himself as a magi. The more limits you pass the less you need to think of them. Eventually you will hit a point where magic is natural. It just happens.

It seems Zach is already there. Solon doesn't have long himself. With a grin he notices the conversation taking place. Zachary is really pushing it. Those he doubts she won't except. To be honest it is a easy way to DO that.

"Your soooo~ needy Zach." He openly teases him. Something he doesn't do often. Solon isn't really wrong. What is he going to ask for ever women in Osrona to lay in bed with him...? Wait lets not think of that. He just might...

The knights eyes shift towards the but for a moment before he looks back up. Oh god....
(Solon Tofusin )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:46] Chuck says, "Hey there Solon"
[06:47] Solon Tofusin says, "Hey, Chuck."
[06:47] Chuck asks, "Up for a match?"
[06:48] Solon Tofusin says, "Nah I'll pass."
[06:49] Chuck says, "Alright"
[06:54] Himari was stretching out her arms and had her eyes clothes throughout the action. Her body noticeably flexible through the movements she produced. Her upper body reaching towards the side in almost 90 degree fashion. Of course it was still human looking.

An eye peeked open at Zachary's words with her stretching halting for a moment. "Ah? Just ask you now. Well.."

The Kurokaiyo straightened her form after pushing some of the strands of her hair back behind her ear. Dull amber eyes rest on the energy swordsman to go ahead and finish her sentence.

"I'm asking you to be my teacher. And probably specifically for that ball-like attack that you used. It's powerful," she states, hoping that is what he meant by ask me now. Albeit, there was a sense that that wasn't all to it. However, she just stared and awaited an answer from the male.
(Himari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[07:09] Click.

Zachary clipped his blade back at his side. It didn't have it's own sheath, then his hands raised to removed his helmet. He pincered it in-between his arm and the armor to his right. His left hand soon rose up after to show her what she wanted.

Without even calling on his shroud, strings of energy swept in from the air around them at an impeccable rate and twisted. It was very quick, no more than a few seconds. A spiraling sphere of energy sat in his hand. It's brilliance radiating light between it and all it sees.

"To master a technique like this is to master your understanding of what being an energy magi truly is. To understanding yourself and the mana that flows through you."

The orb dissipated quicker than it was conceived and the strings of energy flew into Zachary's arm. No mana conjured was wasted.

"This isn't something I'm going to beat into you like I could for Fran and her lessons. All the while it is a new approach I have to take to teach you-"

He paused.

"It can't be specifically for the Sphere. You will have to understand what I say to you then attempt to apply it on a newly set basis for all of your energy magic. You may even need to severe your attunement to the metaphysical magic schools as well." His words may have sounded harsh by his tone, but it was sound advice and he was willing to help her over countless others who approached him.

[07:12] Nero Albein whispers something.
[07:16] Paca Kuma says, "Hey Clancy."
[07:17] Clancy Osshor says, "Hey."
[07:17] Clancy Osshor asks, "How're you?"
[07:17] Paca Kuma asks, "I'm good! About to go wander around hehe, yourself? Also I was wondering, did you ever develop any crazy holy techniques? Or learn light magic?"
[07:18] Clancy Osshor says, "Not yet."
[07:18] Clancy Osshor says, "I was about to have a match."
[07:18] Paca Kuma says, "Ahh I see... Well Chuck is always down for a fight I think hehe."
[07:18] Paca Kuma exclaims, "Cya around!"
[07:20] Himari held a hand to her chin. Thoughts pondered in her head while she grasped at the words Zachary had released from his mouth. He wasn't just trying to get her to learn about the sphere that he had used in battle but more than that. The foundation and start of understanding energy and the pure confinements of mana itself that they both expressed.

Her eyes rested on the sphere that Zachary produced. The connected line that swirled in a multitude within its center and gradually all within the sphere. She could see the literally layers of mana within the ball.

"I understand myself entirely but.."

The kurokaiyo would look to the side a bit.

"...I could use a bit more time to gain the knowledge of understanding the mana that flows within me better. At the moment I just know I can exert it to my liking."

She'd digress but it was basically her understanding on it. There would be more time to get the full intellect of energy magic.

"I can do that. I'm already aiming to sever the attunement I had with metaphysical magic. It is the reason I'm going on an expedition soon. When it is over, I will be able to focus more on my mana alone. That is the plan." Himari didn't mind the tone that left and mixed with the words Zachary had said. She was used to it being a martial artist and coming from a family of them. But Himari could tell this was going to be a new path that she was about to embark on.
