Post 2 ?/30 Zlat hurtled the lightning bolt at the wall, leaving a a scorch mark and causing a sound like thunder. "This justu has some decent stopping power, but it's gonna take a decent amount of chakra to prepare and launch." Masar opened his hand, then closed it, "Fine by me just teach me how to do it." The Kyoudo could almost swear that the old man smiled at this. "Very well then start by gathering some chakra for me."
A minute or so later, Masar felt that he was ready to work on the justu. "Ok so what you have to do is very, very slowly release your raiton energy through your palms and force it into the form of a lightning bolt. Don't try to go to fast, or too slow. Just at the exactly right speed." Masar chewed his lip. "Ok sounds simple enough." Masar turned to face the wall, and straightened his arm, palm facing towards the wall. Ok so just push out my raiton chakra right?
A bright light flashed through the room as Masar concentrated, and a large amount a lightning burst forth from his hand. Unfortunately, he was unable to control it, and it spilled out, crackling, and slammed into a nearby dummy. Zlat raise an eyebrow. "You see, that's what's going to happen if you don't shape the chakra. I would recommend being more careful."
Post 3 ?/30 Masar blew his hair out of his face, focusing hard. This was his third attempt, the previous ending in failure. He really needed to be more careful, but the chakra exhaustion was making things rather difficult. Nevertheless, he again released the raiton chakra keeping a careful hold of the energy and slowly manipulating it, shaping it. This time, his efforts bore fruit, and a crackling lightning bolt formed in his hands.
Zlat nodded, "Good, now throw it." Masar hefted the glowing lance, then hurtled it, the impact scorching the wall he aimed at. The Kyoudo smiled, that was one more justu he could add to his arsenal.
"There is one more thing you need to do though." Masar turned to his apparent mentor, curious. "What's that? It works doesn't it?" His voice carried only the tiniest hint of irritation, but the old man still picked up on it. Zlat raised an eyebrow, apparent one of his favorite expressions, "Controlling the power of course, you don't want to just poor every last ounce of chakra into every bolt after all! You have to learn how to do it with minimum expenditure." Masar was initially rebellious, but when he thought it over, it wasn't such a bad idea.
Masar drew forth another spear of incandesent lightning, this time carefully feeding energy into it until it reached the minimum size required. He then chucked it, then made another one, then another. Each time he grew better at estimating the bottum limit required to perform the justu. Eventually he fastened upon the limit, and was able to control the voltage much better. Masar had to admit, it was probably a good addition to the justu.

Ryutatsu side-stepped as Kimi tried and almost succeeded in Shunshin. This was interesting for Ryutatsu for Kimi was taking a different method of training he had. But it was admirable that Kimi was trying to match his speed. But few ever catch up to him and of those few they were still a step behind. Ryutatsu shook his head and reset for a much faster pace fight if Kimi could keep up.
For Shunshin fights were very fast paced indeed. Luckily for Ryutatsu he had been training Shunshin following movements but even Shunshin dodging. He could have the sidestep from hell using Shunshin. But that wasn't by itself true speed. No one must have efficiency and smooth movement for true speed. Knowing how and where to move beofre the opponent does is true speed.
Ryutatsu was just now getting this lesson. For there was speed of foot and speed of mind. Both need to work in concert to be truly good. It is what weeds out the professionals from the amateurs. Ryutatsu now he was on the cusp of becoming a professional about his movements. Though he never truly had a childhood he has been a child in his understanding.

Kimi was tired using that and failing had almost drained him. But he had almost succeeded in pulling off that move, he would give it one more go trying to keep up with Ryu. He knew he needed to increase his physical speed by a lot. He had the mental abilities to follow Ryu and to figure out were he was going. Heck he even had the eyes to see where he was going, but he didn't the physical speed to keep up.
This time he had the measure of the Jutsu and was ready for the full strain that it put on his legs. He focused and activated it, he would push off and move so quick it should be impossible to see. He would stop a few feet in front of Ryu, it was clear that it had taken a lot out him using it twice like this. But the determination was clear on his face as he came to a stop in front of Ryu. He took half a second to control his breathing and his emotions as he readied his stance.
Kimi decided to see if he could use the other fighting style he was working on. He shifted out his stance to should length apart, his right foot facing forward with his left off at a 90 degree angle to it. Bending his knees slightly as he turned his body to face the angle created by his feet. He kept his off hand close to his chest keeping his sickle in the off hand grip, while his main hand was forward with his other sickle in its normal grip. He was ready for anything that Ryu could throw at him. "I can't keep up with you in the least yet, but that won't stop me at all."

Ryutatsu didn't even blink in surprise when Kimi appeared before him. Actually he had a feral grin on his face as he stood ready to receive anything from Kimi. One hand was on the sword on his back while the other was slipped to the Tanto sheathed on his lower back. It was an interesting pose that mixed the readiness of Busosen Battojutsu and Tensora Efficiency. This was Ryutatsu the master of the sword having fun.
Ryutatsu could move and evade in the blink of an eye if he needed but he knew he didn't need to. For he could read Kimi and even that Shunshin very well indeed. Ryutatsu lookedat the exhausted Kimi waiting to actually continue fighting. It was obvious that he was allowing Kimi to set the tempo just because Kimi was the weaker of the two of them. His year as a blacksmith made him very strong indeed.
Ryutatsu knew the least amount of movement to avoid most strikes from a swung weapon. There was just so many angles a weapon, especially a sword could come from. It would take an innovative foe to come up with one he didn't know. Besides Kimi's Shunshin was in it's beginning stages so easy to predict. "Don't exhaust yourself to badly before our round two even really starts. "

Effect: The user inverts their stance, gently dodging a straight thrust or strike.
Special: --
Drawback: Cannot evade wide-radius attacks.
Description: The user steps forward with their off-foot, twisting it to face forward. As they do so, they turn their main foot perpendicular and away, creating a mirrored version of the normal stance. As they do this, the user rocks their body backwards slightly, allowing any attacks coming from the front to simply ghost past them. Learning the Tentou teaches one to be equally skilled with their main-side and off-side.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki (Drifting Snow).
Kimi was getting tired but he would not let that stop him. He had pushed through a lot of pain and grueling days of training before this. So this was nothing new to him, being in this state meant he had to be ten times more focused and careful. Any wrong move here would lead to serious injury or worse. But with his Krav Maga training he knew he had to practice in every state possible to really be effect.
Kimi flipped his right sickle into a backhanded grip to mirror his left. He would attempt four attacks though he would be lucky if any of these actually hit. The first was a slash to Ryu's shoulder, but as it would land he would then extend his elbow for a strike at Ryu's neck. He knew that either attack by itself would have little chance of landing a hit on Ryu so he would chain it with his off hand. He would aim the left sickle at Ryu's side on level with his midsection, as the strike would land he would extend his elbow and aim for Ryu's ribs.
Master Shaw watched as Kimi kept stepping up his game. It was a pleasure to watch two such gifted Martial Artist duel, both were growing at an extraordinary rate. They would leave her in the dust soon enough. She was proud to call Kimi her student Shaw was glad she had seen more in him than some scrawny little ninja. She would have been quit upset to miss this opportunity to train him and witness their paths. They would raise high and go far as long as they lived long enough to realize their potential.

Ryutatsu's sway if anything was getting more efficient as the fight went on. He was tiring but at a much slower rate than Kimi and that was because of his conservation of energy. He seemed to almost be in a zone of zen as he swayed away from the first attempted strike. It would miss by mere inches but might as well have been miles by the calm Ryutatsu displayed. It was obviously a planned move to dodge by so little.
The second attempt on Ryutatsu would have just as little effect even though it too was quite close to Ryutatsu. Even his foot work was minimal as possible. This was Ryutatsu's training which was to make the least movement for the greatest effect. Busosen taught him flash like speed but Tensora was different. It had similar flash movements but the importance was minimal effort.
This meant that Ryutatsu wasted less energy in a prolonged fight. He already had incredible stamina from working in a forge. But now Ryutatsu would seem to not need a rest for a great while yet. Ryutatsu seemed to be enjoying this exchange even though he had not gone on the offensive, it seemed his attack was that of attrition. Ryutatsu would simply outlast his opponents.

Updraft Rank: C rank short range offensive(0-5m) Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A three hit combo attack designed to knock a foe into the air and keep them there momentarily. Special: No hand seals are required to perform TaiJutsu Drawback: None Description: The user rushes an opponent and performs a very fast back flip, aiming to kick the foe in the chin with one leg, then in the torso with the other to knock them into the air, followed by a swift uppercut to the chin or torso, depending on whether the foe dodged the first part of the attack, or whether they're in the air already. The speed of this technique is higher than normal because the momentum of a full speed run is transferred into the back flip, then into the upper cut; however it is C ranked because of the speed, and the skill required to maintain the momentum through the movements. Limit: Universal TaiJutsu Technique
Kimi knew that he would need to try something different than before. He was starting t run really low on energy but was not trying to show that. He would ignore the pain he was starting to feel from his fatigued muscles and keep going. He had read of a technique that allowed the user to knock a foe into the air using a three hit combo. Kimi really doubted that something as simple as this would work but he would try no harm in trying something new.
He looked at the placement of both Ryu and himself, he needed to be sure of his path and were Ryu would land. He knew that he could injure both parties if he could not control this new attack. But that should not be a problem it was not like the Shunshin that was pure speed with finite control. Here he was just making sure they had enough clearance to pull this off, which there was with room to spare. He wanted to pull this off more than he wanted to use the Shunshin before this.
It was with those thoughts which took about half a second he smiled at Ryu. This was where he would turn the tables on him. His hard work would start to show here, he may not be as fast or as graceful but he was hardworking and smart. That had to count for something right, that should make up the difference there? Kimi didn’t know the answer to that at all, but he was about to find out one way or the other.

Updraft Rank: C rank short range offensive(0-5m) Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A three hit combo attack designed to knock a foe into the air and keep them there momentarily. Special: No hand seals are required to perform TaiJutsu Drawback: None Description: The user rushes an opponent and performs a very fast back flip, aiming to kick the foe in the chin with one leg, then in the torso with the other to knock them into the air, followed by a swift uppercut to the chin or torso, depending on whether the foe dodged the first part of the attack, or whether they're in the air already. The speed of this technique is higher than normal because the momentum of a full speed run is transferred into the back flip, then into the upper cut; however it is C ranked because of the speed, and the skill required to maintain the momentum through the movements. Limit: Universal TaiJutsu Technique
This technique would use his own power of a three hit combo to launch Ryu into the air. From there it would depend on what Ryu does before Kimi would know what to do in response. He had a few ideas as to what to try. He had been reading up on a few master of Taijutsu that could chain together amazing combinations and create moves during combat. He hopped he could get good enough that he didn’t have to worry each time he made a move as to if it was the right one.
Though this felt like the right move, though he would know if it connected in anyway. Kimi tensed his body getting ready for the attack. Just as he tensed he realized he was giving away his intent to attack with that. It would give Ryu more than enough warning to be ready to counter his move, so instead he relaxed his muscle. He kept his fighting stance but now he was more fluid and ready for his attack.
Kimi hoped it made his attack harder to read, he would need all the help he could get to pull this off. Kimi rushed Ryu head on not even hiding his intent to charge him. What he did hide was his intent to to flip backwards at the last moment, this flip was so fast that it was hard to follow. When he did he would attempt to land a swift kick to Ryu’s chin. That was followed by an attempted kick to the torso just after the one to the chin landed.

Updraft Rank: C rank short range offensive(0-5m) Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A three hit combo attack designed to knock a foe into the air and keep them there momentarily.

The speed of this technique is higher than normal because the momentum of a full speed run is transferred into the back flip, then into the upper cut; however it is C ranked because of the speed, and the skill required to maintain the momentum through the movements. Limit: Universal TaiJutsu Technique
It was right as he right himself that he finish the combo up. He would attempt a hard and fast uppercut to either the chest or the chin. If the attack succeeded in knocked Ryu into the air the uppercut would be to the chest. But if Ryu was still on the ground the attack would be aimed at the chin, still attempting to off balance him. Kimi knew that if he would get Ryu off his game even in the slightest he could actually do something.
That was what made Kimi remember this technique in the first place. It was something to off balance and reset the battle. Especially when one was at the disadvantage and need to land a few blows and turn the tide, certain moves were created just for that purpose. This was one such move that would give Kimi something to work with as long as even one of the three attacks hit. He had three different moves planed for if it hit. But he also had five moves planned if it didn’t, Kimi had been relying on his instincts to guide him to this point.
But that was not helping him too much buy its self, so he would have to evolve here and now. He would starting to understand how fights really worked and how Ryu fought during a duel. This helped Kimi plan his moves out based on what his instincts where telling him to do. Not a lot of people would be able to turn instincts into a plan while fighting but Kimi had to.

Ryutatsu smiled as Kimi came at him with yet another combo. But like always he could sense the move before it came almost. Though Kimi did give away less this time after he settled down. It was entertaining watching the older boy focus on giving the minimal movement information. But each part of the combo was a big move meant to off balance and strike with power.
Nothing with such wide swing arcs and large motions had a hope of touching him at that speed. It was an easy sway to avoid the kick to the chin. It passed right in front of his face. Then Kimi pulled back for another side kick to his torso. Such inefficient movement thought Ryutatsu as that movement was easy to read and just take a step back from. It would have been more efficient to axe kick down and use the momentum already there.
Ryutatsu mentally shrugged and made it a note to tell Kimi later. His instincts were alright but the inefficiency of movement and expectation to hit is telegraphed loudly. Ryutatsu never expected to hit, he expected to miss and planned to hit. Ryutatsu observed coolly even such a close quarters fight how Kimi moved. More so it was when Kimi moved what tell tale signs he had.

Ryutatsu saw as Kimi followed up by a uppercut. Now that had some chance it the arc was shorter. He was still just too much movement for to little gain thought Ryutatsu. It was another sway allowing it to pass in front of him again. Minimum movements and maximum effects make for better efficiency. It wasn't about elegance or speed though he had plenty of both at the moment.
It was about reading the very movements of the combat and reacting just enough. Ryutatsu was getting that lesson down pat. He wasn't perfect at it yet but as time rolled on his sways became smaller. He was doing just enough to get by no more and no less. This was a key to his use of Tensora. But all the other skills from the other styles helped as well as he trained with Kimi.
