"Warning before we continue… the next one taught me to be ruthless. Far harsher than the others…" Ritsuka called out to Koneko who had taken her stance once more.
"Bad?" Koneko questioned as Ritsuka took up a far different stance. Both arms were raised palms open facing forward. His right leg shifted weight onto the pad of his foot.
"Slightly… the match goes for three minutes. I don't want this to get out of hand." Ritsuka winced slightly.
Koneko charged in fist first only to be knocked aside by a flurry of punches. Rolling out of the way as he stomped his foot down, Koneko went on the defensive. Neither side took it easy on each other letting themselves get hit as they traded blows.
The impacts made each spectator wince because neither side expected such fury behind each blow. As they continued their battle Akeno got antsy and immediately stepped forward.
"Time!" Akeno called out. She wasn't in time though as both sides cross countered each other. Their bodies fell to the ground panting heavily. Ritsuka was bleeding slightly from his lip and there were bruises on Koneko's cheeks.
"Oh no!" Asia was nearly in tears with how brutal that battle had been.
"I won… that… Senpai…" Koneko called out even though the pain made her wince nearly every word.
"Yeah…" Ritsuka called back licking his lips to stop the blood from leaking too far. "You… drew… first… blood…"
Asia healed the two quickly letting them take deep breaths. Koneko showed no qualms about resting near Ritsuka. In fact, she started cuddling into him… which the other ladies noticed… and puffed their cheeks up in jealousy.
"Half an hour this time… I'm tired…" Ritsuka mumbled as he drank some more water nearly draining the entire bottle.
A half hour passed as the two stretched out for the final bout for the day. The elation Koneko felt was a bit disconcerting… since she had never shown herself to be such a blood knight.
"I'm really tired… three minutes, okay?" Ritsuka chimed in, rubbing his eyes with his fingers and letting out a yawn.
"Yes Senpai." Koneko answered. She was swaying slightly but as soon as the challenge was set perked up slightly.
Ritsuka's eyes took on a red amber tint to him. A large overcoat materialized on his shoulders as well. When everyone noticed, he really could pass for a yakuza member. He stretched his wrists slightly rubbing them in each hand one after another.
"Ready…?" Ritsuka stated, his tone sharp and eager. It also sounded much older than he was.
"Yes." Koneko answered.
Ritsuka stepped forward not even taking a stance which immediately made Koneko backpedal. His confident stride only made her worry what fighting style he was employing now.
She was a kitten facing a tiger now. The irony wasn't lost on her, nor was the metaphor lacking in this situation. She couldn't just charge ahead recklessly. She could tell the moment Ritsuka placed his hands behind his back.
"What's he doing?" Asia whispered to Akeno who was too busy watching the fight to help her with her endurance training. Though at this point the spectacle was far too amazing to look away from.
"Hunting." Akeno answered. It was the only way to describe his eyes at the moment. Whichever spirit Ritsuka had called was a fighter, an old fighter who had reached a peak that mortals called divine in martial arts.
"Noticed, huh?" Ritsuka chuckled slightly.
Koneko immediately blocked a high speed forward punch sliding back. Not taking the chance she ducked low dodging another high speed swing. She countered with her own punches only managing to catch his arm.
As soon as that flurry of punches ended both sides backed up. Ritsuka returned his hands behind his back once more. Koneko had to shake her arms. The speed that each impact was thrown at had caused a slight pain to build up.
She had noticed the moment that Ritsuka had attacked. He was utilizing chi to increase his strikes not unlike what senjutsu would do for her own strikes.
He took a step forward again.
Koneko immediately tensed up and backed away again. The pressure of this particular spirit residing within Ritsuka was a master practitioner.
"This is Bajiquan?" Koneko called out wanting a little leeway before he struck.
"Yeah. He taught me higher levels but even at my best I would only last thirty seconds against him." Ritsuka paused which Koneko immediately capitalized upon.
A quick leap forward ready to strike with her foot… only to be caught and slammed onto the ground. She rolled to the side as Ritsuka took up an actual fighting stance.
"I think I get what I should work on with you later." Ritsuka stated finally looking a bit more eager for the fight.
"Yes Senpai?" Koneko let her curiosity get the best of her.
"Technique and tactics. That would benefit you most of all." Ritsuka mumbled under his breath… something only Koneko could hear.
Koneko nodded in understanding. The two were about to charge forward when Akeno stepped forward.
"Time!" Akeno called out.
Ritsuka relaxed his guard once more and slumped down against the wall. Exhaustion heavy upon him and Koneko stumbled wearily next to him. They ended up sitting against the wall falling asleep. Asia did her best to heal them once more from the minute damage they both took.
Rias sighed out finally letting that anxiety she had held on while Ritsuka and her Peerage battled it out in an intense sparring match. She was especially glad that Asia had joined her as well. Her healing was far and above the best addition to their group.
As she took a vested look at her mage and nekoshou too exhausted to even rest in the living room, she started wondering. The Evil Pieces created by Ajuka were capable of turning anyone into a devil. The problem was that if a person was too strong for the devil in question, the piece would fail.
Ritsuka would have been a Knight, something that would have benefited his already noticeable strength when not using his magic to enhance himself. She started to think that if she had tried a piece on him it wouldn't have taken hold. Though the only reason her thoughts had turned in this direction were because of the spectacle of a match he showed them all.
