"So Koneko… full contact or merely training in fighting styles?" Ritsuka called out catching Koneko by surprise.
"Choices?" Koneko questioned clearly confused about this. "But Kiba…?"
"Kiba has training already and I've seen him fight and fought him as well. I got a good idea about what he can do and what he needs from those moments. I've actually never seen how everyone else fights yet. I've been told but until I see all of you in action I can't really judge what needs to be done." Ritsuka calmly explained.
"Ah… full contact Senpai. I want you to treat me like a threat." Koneko answered and if he didn't know any better he thought he saw her eyes twinkle with sheer confidence.
"Okay… you know what Lucha Libre is?" Ritsuka chuckled.
"Performance wrestling?" Koneko questioned but she couldn't actually commit that idea as truth. Ritsuka's eyes changed once more. They actually looked reptilian… draconic even.
"Claro que sí… pero no es tan simple." Ritsuka stated in perfect Spanish as if it were nothing. He noticed that he was being stared at again. "Sorry, the spirit I chose was from Mexican territories."
Koneko nodded. She didn't really mind the different language even if she didn't understand it. What made her worry was the sheer power radiating from Ritsuka. While everyone seemed aware that spirit magic was at work, she was shocked that he didn't mention to have divine spirits as well. Her senjutsu wanted to explode out of her body just to make certain she would survive but she couldn't chance that. She didn't want to be the weak link in the Peerage.
As she was, Koneko was only good as a blunt object. It was something she was aware of. She didn't mind since it kept her slightly content with her life. But, Senpai was different. He strove towards different goals and she wasn't going to be the one to drag him down.
"I'm ready." Koneko put up her dukes keeping her arms in a slight boxer stance. Her arms were slightly lower though making Ritsuka think it was more so Muay Thai instead of boxing.
Ritsuka smiled and waited with his arms at his side. Thanks to Quetzacoatl's card he knew to make this more of a spectacle since he had an audience. He didn't dislike the fervor of her feelings within the card… but he was worried about having to go all out to satisfy the feelings that came from the card.
Koneko dashed in faster than Kiba with several lashed out kicks. Ritsuka kept up his guard knocking each kick from hitting him. Forcing himself forward, Ritsuka adjusted an arm bar trying to knock Koneko in the head. Her arms came up at the last second launching her all the way to the far wall.
Koneko skidded to a stop before she could slam into the wall. Jumping to the side, she dodged a flying leg kick and charged forward with her own spin kick knocking Ritsuka back. His body twisted in the air before landing back on his feet.
Koneko got into the swing of the fight as the two would constantly knock each other around. She was sore after every hit though. The divine nature that radiated off of Ritsuka managed to add enough power that even though she was a Rook, her defenses were still faltering.
Ritsuka looked highly bruised. His clothes were ragged and scuffed. Even then, his smile wouldn't stop. If Koneko didn't know any better, it looked like he was enjoying the constant fight.
Ritsuka flew into a forward bicycle kick managing to land back on his feet. Koneko had her guard up as she was sent flying up slightly.
"Time!" Akeno called out. Both Ritsuka and Koneko were ready to strike each other once more stopping mere inches from punching each other.
"Senpai… fought before…" Koneko breathed out. She was actually tired since he had gone much farther combat wise for her.
"I… only know Bajiquan… I never… learned other styles… well." Ritsuka answered in kind. He was far more tired than his fight with Kiba and his eyes returned to normal. "Everything hurts…"
The two sat next to each other against one of the walls leaning against each other. Both were sweating profusely but no blood had been drawn.
"Having spirits… helps a lot… doesn't it?" Koneko whispered as she glanced over to Ritsuka.
"If I didn't… I wouldn't have survived here… at all." Ritsuka answered quietly. The solemn stare on his face made Koneko worried. She couldn't tell why. "Twenty minutes… is that fine?"
"Rest?" Koneko pointed out.
"Yes. Very much, yes." Ritsuka answered as he took another deep breath.
"I'll get you back up!" Asia let out as her Twilight Healing got a good workout.
Twenty minutes passed as Kiba got the two water bottles. It helped though neither drank much. Just enough to keep themselves hydrated since the second match was coming up.
"Rias… Akeno… Asia… I'll handle your training tomorrow… if that's okay." Ritsuka called out to the three who had decided to push off training to watch the sparring going on between the other three.
"I'm a little worried about what you have in store for us." Rias chuckled though her worry was still palpable enough.
"You're all magic users more so than Koneko or Kiba. I have some ways to make sure your training is tailored to you." Ritsuka assured her as best he could. Ritsuka was still looking tired though. "I don't know how much so I've been thinking about what you need."
"You seem to think a lot." Rias noted taking stock of Ritsuka's eyes. While he remained stoic most of the time, his eyes revealed how he actually felt at any given moment.
"It's kept me alive… not always in safety but alive." Ritsuka chuckled. His eyes were staring straight ahead though. They seemed locked on a goal farther away than even she could fathom.
"Same here?" Rias mentioned as he stood up ready to spar against Koneko once more.
"Yeah… some things never change… and I don't know if I can ever let it return to normal." Ritsuka let out a breath he was holding as his eyes changed once more. They were now a yellow shade… and seemed far more ruthless.
