Refinement is a Process (Closed)

So, Ichiba had decided to try his luck at attack Raisu. Well, he thought, he figured this was coming. It was the Saiyan blood after all. Raisu sighed to himself and watched as the attacks came towards him. He did not even attempt to move as the left hook collided with his waist. It stung a bit, but Raisu held true against it, though he shifted where he stood. Next, the boy followed up with a roundhouse kick, one that made Raisu step back a bit as it collided with his chest. Now that one stung even more Impressive, he thought. The boy knew how to fight. But still, there was a big difference between their power. If Raisu was feeling the full extent of this boy's power, he was not even a tenth as strong as Raisu was in his weighted state.

Raisu waited a moment, looking at Ichiba expectantly. Was that it? The boy certainly knew how to fight, but he was lacking raw power.

"Not bad, kid. Though you could do with a little more muscle behind your attacks."

As raisu turned the boy's blows, Raisu watched as he flipped away and prepared for something. So the boy was going to launch a ki attack of his own. Well, Raisu figured, he would answer with his own ki attack. That was the point of training, wasn't it? It wouldn't do either of them any good if Raisu just sat there and took it each time. No, best if he countered.

Raisu through up both his hands and immediately discharged a small, white burst of ki in the shape of cone. It was his White Sunburst attack. Nothing fancy. No time to charge or refine it, but it would for an immediate answer to this attack. The white energy overwhelmed the black and continued towards Ichiba, hoping to give him a taste of his power.

KP: 0/3, after this round. To be fair, I'll count the attack Raisu used to destroy the boulder in KP.

[N1] White Sunburst used, overtook Angel's Roar with a potential damage of 12,609 after substracting the PL of Angel's Roar.

An afterimage, thought Raisu. So this kid had some tricks of his own. Not bad, Raisu had to admit that much. Not bad all. But Raisu believed he had made his point. The kid surely knew the extent of Raisu's power now.

"So, you believe me that I'm pretty strong?"

Raisu grinned at the boy, looking at him expectantly. What would his next move be, if any? Raisu was kind of curious now. It seemed everybody these days had a fancy new technique or the like. What was this boy's secret? If he had any at all, that was. Though Raisu had felt a burst of power there, though it had quickly faded. What in the world had that been? Maybe he did have a few surprises after all.

The boy launched an assault right after he spoke. Raisu sighed, he never had time to answer questions before people just started fighting. It was kind of annoying. He thought it was rude. People don't have any courtesy, he thought. Oh well, once he was done with countering this assault, he'd answer. Raisu let it unfold, the boy punched Raisu's cheek, Raisu's head barely budging. But Ichiba's assult wasn't over: he grabbed Raisu's hair. Now that was something that hurt. The boy was behind him, and Raisu could feel the ki pf the boy growing, an attack forming. Raisu was more concerned with his hair. The ball of ki burned into him, and now that hurt. It was like someone had pricked him with a needle. Raisu grunted.

"Not bad, Ichi," he admitted, "But yeah, I do train alone. I've got friends, but I train alone most of the time, if that makes sense."

And with that, Raisu twisted his body and lunged his fist at the boy. No time to charge, but he was already pouring ki into his blow, readying his Concussive Fist. His hand hurtled towards the boy's chest, closing the short gap between them.

KP: 0/3

[N1] Concussive Fist used. PL of attack = 13,631.

Raisu watched as the boy slid back. Damn, he thought. He hadn't meant to hit him that hard. Was he out cold? Raisu walked over the boy, stepping over him and looking down. It sure looked like it. Carefully, Raisu tapped him with his foot. Yes, definitely out cold. Great, thought Raisu, just great. Now he felt bad. He'd have to apologize to the kid, whenever he woke up. He was still breathing, so that was a relief. For now, Raisu sat down next to him and waited for the boy to wake. He'd pass the time some how, maybe by looking for shapes in the cloud.

He began to hum, some popular tune he'd heard on the radio in a conveinance store somewhere.

The boy next to him stirred. Finally, thought Raisu. He was beginning to think he had really hurt the kid. Well, he had, but he was starting to think that maybe he had broken the child or something. He was relieved to see that he had not damaged Ichiba too badly. The kid was built tough, as quirky as he might be.

"Yeah, I'm still here. Sorry I hit you so hard. You okay?"

"Sure, anything's possible if you try hard enough. You keep on getting stronger, bud, and maybe you'll catch me someday."

Raisu shot the boy a thumbs up. He was glad to see the blow hadn't dampened any of the boy's enthusiasm or quirks. He certainly had Saiyan blood in him, for better or for worse. Hopefully as he got older it would be more of a blessing than a curse for this halfblood in particular. But still, something about the boy did not quite sit right with Raisu.

"Say, why are you out here all by yourself kid?"
