Tora v Zetsubo DEV FOR AFFINITY

Toratori frowned as it seems that he would once again fight another battle.

With a calm and steady hold on himself, Toratori took his time to inhale a deep breath before lowering himself into a stance. With one foot infront of the other as he held his left hand out infront of his right fist, he'd finally exhale.

The pup grew concentrated as a blazing inferno burned around his body, quickly rising as it enveloped his entire body.

"Everything I got . ." he repeated softly before taking another deep breath. Azar had once told him that in order to have mastery of fire, once must control their emotions first. Which was something that Toratori was working on for quite some time now.

"Alright." he'd say as the flames around his fist grew more brilliant than the flames that hugged his body. Toratori would finally rush after Zetsubo.

Toratori rushed in towards Zetsubo.

The pup wasted no time delivering decisive blows as he came to contact with Zetsubo. Toratori created his own stance with the sole purpose of delivering punishing blows to whoever dared to risk their own lives in battle, by gambling to do a risky blow for high rewards.

and that's exactly where Toratori relished.

The two unarmed combatants went back and forth, both giving it their all as they traded blows, no once yielding to the might of the other as they continuously gave it their all.

However it was only a matter of time before Zetsubo got risky and attempted to send an energy beam in Toratori's direction.

The pup couldn't help but smile at Zetsubo's determination. Their might and their experience. Toratori purposely backed up to let Zetsubo believe that they were exhausted. To believe that they needed a moment of rest before going back into battle, the bait was just way too good for anyone to pass up on it, and then there was Zetsubo.

Toratori spun around on his heels as Zetsubo flash stepped behind him for jab before releasing an energy beam, which would've been a hard blow if it had landed.

However, Toratori knew this as he danced around on his heel with his right fist already cocked back. His eyes light up as he released his fist, connecting it with Zetsubo's jawline before taking another step in. Ducking closer as the pup got in close to Zetsubo's body, he'd deliver three more more swift blows to their body before sliding around the older teen once more before pulling by his right arm one more time. Toratori's mana circuits burned from within him as he focused all his mana into his last blow. The flames grew larger and burned bright on his right fist just as he delivered a crushing blow to their head. Creating a shockwave from the blow before sending them spiraling into the clearing.

Toratori exhaled before his flames would die out once more.

He'd then raise his fist, looking at them perplexed as he had once again had that odd feeling of synergy flowing within him. "OH SHIT!" he'd then exclaim! "Zetsubo! Are you okay?!" he'd yell after running after them.
(Toratori)
As Zetsubo came face to face with his partly injured comrade, he'd blur almost out of existence, his speed unrivaled only by one other within the Guild. Though, even with his Speed, his power was no match to that of Toratori's insane damage!

As the air around him rippled, and exploded with passion, the Blonde would be sent flying as he tried to stumble back onto his feet. When he went in, and Flash Stepped behind the pup, he was certain it had landed. "WHA-!" Though he was indeed shocked, and impressed at the same time that Tora was able to pull off something so Grand!

He would go in again, this time, determined to finally lay wasted towards the Ookamis attempts... only, to fail once more. He wasn't at all the best fighter of the Guild, not at all actually, in his eyes? He was there to show the others that they CAN overcome anything they set their mine to. When Toratori showed his extreme talent within the Flames, sending three blows right to the Blondes jawline! Zets knew that he had been surpassed by one of the greats, though, he was quite glad, that the next 7 in line were so... so strong!

Getting up on his feet, he'd nod his head furiously towards the pup! "You betcha! That was insane! That fiery roar you displayed! It was incredible, I'm so proud!" He's laugh a bit, shaking his hands infront of him to show Tora that all was good!

"You did indeed, do quite well, pretty chill isn't it?"

Then a breath... as he nods his head once more, "Chill... Relax... breathe... just... chill..." Then he'd look Tora dead in the eyes.

"I and the others have something big planned for those that have earned the right to ascend to a Grand Silver, eventually, if you keep this motivation up, you'll succeed in doing so, I hope. I'll be rooting for you, okay?"
