another spar?

As Hysterio blocked her vertical slash, he was hit in the face with dirt. AAARGGGHHH!!!! It was like this kind of move was super-effective on dojutsu users or something like this was a universe that had a lot of little weird creatures contained often within little round capsules that mostly resembled spheres magically near perfect in shape, with little buttons and different colors adorning their exteriors. As he was trying to recover from the dirt, his eyes tearing up, his head quickly turning from side to side and his eyes blinking to try and get rid of the dirt, he was punched in the chest. Woah!!!

He began stumbling backwards, his swords flailing in front of him in an effort to block any potential attacks, fortunately out of range of the opponent, whom he could sense with his chakra sensory still. His eyes streaming, he blinked rapidly, his glasses a hindrance since to wipe his eyes completely clear, he would have to use a hand to do that and he did not want that to happen. So far this would be good experience, assuming he survived. However, he was panicking for nothing, his opponent was not approaching him for a brief moment.

His vision returning a little, he sensed through his chakra sensory, that his opponent was rushing him again. Opening his eyes completely again, he was barely able to see past some of the dirt that was being washed away by his tears. “Dang, I literally did not see that coming. Good thing this is not on the battle field, that probably saved my life there already.”

Seeing Youta’s arm below, with one of the swords not visible due to the dirt in his eyes, Hysterio did a mostly blind swing downwards and to the left with his left arm, as Youta’s blade was coming upwards. His elbow was bent to the maximums, his sword initially held just in front of his chest, the blade sweeping out in front, with his upper left arm held still, the elbow straightening to provide the swing. However, his attention was directed solely at trying to deflect the first attack, he did not see the other attack coming, and would most likely get punched in the face, his body rolling backwards, his glasses falling off. Good thing he was able to see ok without his glasses, though not well. Unless stopped, he would stand after one complete roll head over heels, breathing a little heavily.

The fight was rather one sided. And though it was to be expected that Youta would have the upper hand, it felt like the boy was not even trying to mount a proper defense. Once again he life was up for the taking and he would instead end up in the dirt. This time it seemed he would lose his glasses. Youta was not rushing this, punching him like a dummy was not interesting to her, she wanted a response, she wanted him to actually fight back. That's what she would tell him, while giving the boy his chance to find his glasses. "...Fighting you like that is no fun. With the next attack I'm going up a level. You better try to keep up because face in the dirt might not be how it ends."

With that she would assume a different stance. One that seemed like a predatory cat prepared to pounce on its prey. Both of her legs were slightly bent, spread, her left one in front, right behind. Her body was leaning forward and her left hand holding the ninjato backwardly was put in front as if she was intending to put it on the ground and lean on it, like an animal that walked on four. It was however at her knee high; her right hand holding the blade normally was by her side with the elbow bent at 90 degrees. At this point Youta's eyes seemed to start glowing a very faint blue, which was the indication of her Seigan being activated, for those who knew it, that is. On her lips would appear a faint smile and a distant look. She was already enjoying the fight that was yet to happen. He better no disappoint.

I will post on the kiri topics later tonight, maybe even the blood games

Interesting...

Hysterio was quite fortunately allowed to grab his glasses, if allowed, he would put them on, and look at his opponent.

Assuming his opponent had not interfered, Hysterio would grab hold of his swords again, and adopt a sort of fighting stance again, his body facing, and about 3 meters away from Youta's. His legs were bent in a ninety degree angle, his right foot behind his left, by about a meter. Each of his swords were held pointing upright, about half a meter in front of his body, his elbows bent and near his sides. Her position meant that it would be easier to attack the side with the sword she held normally, slightly, since the other sword could not reach as easily.

So far Youta could not detect anything more than a defensive stance. She would give one final warning. "Bring all the power you can muster..." As she said that, as if to give weight to her words the blade in her right hand would buzz slightly, an aura appearing on it as it was coated with the use of chakra blade technique. Although she did not use it for that, maybe the sight of her using chakra would give him the idea of the caliber of attack that she was planning. With her grin widening even more she would lung forward, closing the very short distance between them in a moment. Withdrawing her left hand with the ninjato to her left shoulder the girl would extend her right hand with the chakra coated blade into a straight thrust at the boy's left shoulder if he would not defend.

From Hysterio's stance, with the blades close in, blocking would be easier. As Youta was withdrawing her left hand, it would be likely that an attack would be from her right, and his left, instead. The chakra on the blade did not go unnoticed but it was hard to know what exactly it would be for. She began a stabbing motion using her right side, so he twisted his elbow outwards, by flexing his shoulder, while extending his arm out slightly, keeping the parts of his arm at the same relative angles otherwise, to each other. The end result being that his left elbow went outwards and his left wrist went in slightly, his left sword angling in a lot, this finishing shortly after Youta had begun her stabbing motion, due to the minimal effort it required.

As Youta's blade approached, (assuming she still went through with the same attack), Hysterio swung his left sword out, straightening his left arm, the middle of his blade would push against the middle of Youta's right blade, pushing it out to the side away from both of them. At the same time, his right arm would extend out, his blade also stabbing towards Youta's left shoulder in a straight line, as she approached, his blade would reach her near the end of his maximum reach. He would keep watching her movements, including her legs, now though, and possibly change his actions if necessary, given any cues.

Well, she expected more. The female was absolutely serious when she said that he would have to give it his all. A mere parry like that would not suffice. And now he would pay the price. As her stab was parried and moved away and as him right blade began to move towards her, the ninjato in her left hand would start to move as well. And as it did it would chime and sing. The singing blade technique of death by a thousand cuts would strike at the boy with an image of him being stabbed through the heart as his guard failed completely, it would be accompanied by the pain making it seem very real. While the illusion played in his mind, Youta would duck slightly, avoiding the blade coming for her shoulder and swing her left at his chest, making a swift slightly angled slash. It would be timed to land just a split second after the genjutsu, given that her swing was already underway while it was still taking place and given the shock and pain caused by the vision she fully expected it to land. The wound caused by it would not be deep though as she only meant to slice the skin.

(just noting down here that we decided to let hyst be houred, and be knocked out or such, to end the fight and the topic.

sorry for all the delays yousei ;-; )

After the slash Youta would follow up by releasing a sudden blast of wind with the gale palm technique. Having just staggered the boy with her attack, the blast would knock him over without much difficulty. Continuing on with her endless sequence of attacks the female would disappear out of sight with a body flicker leaving behind only dust as she appeared directly behind him while he was still in the air after losing his balance to the blast. At that point it was time to finish this. The boy did not heed her warning and had not withstood her attacks. It was only the tip of her power, she could have been even more devastating. Even now she had the power the end his life in a single stroke. But there was no reason to, no reason to injure him further. Hopefully the fight served to show him that his power was nothing in the grand scene of things. So merely by raising her right knee she would impact him in the back of his neck as the boy was falling to the ground. It would shut him down for now. Then it was only a matter of gathering up his stuff and then bringing him to the hospital. It was ironic though, that he would end up next room from Mitako.
