Zerori watched as the two seemed to prepare themselves for their game, looking between the two of them as they went the three rounds before it was eventually determined (to apparently Zero’s shock) that Ryme was to be her proctor. That was an interesting enough turnout for her as well since she hadn’t really got a good read on him since back at the bank. Either he was a really good actor or he was simply built differently than his brother. Zerori cocked a cocky eyebrow at Zero as he spoke to her, not expecting any sort of vote of confidence but she wasn’t one to look a gifted horse in the mouth, either. “Wouldn’t dream of it… Boss.” Giving the two of them space as Zerori proceeded to find a good spot on the ground for their bout, Zerori would stretch herself out a bit before waiting on Ryme. They had shared some words, likely something secretive that Zerori didn’t need to know, before Ryme approached with about a meter of distance between the two of them.

Thankfully, the snowy mountains didn’t have much wind - the howl of the cold ceasing for now into a calm breeze. Rhyme took this moment to explain briefly that their game wasn’t just a way to decide things, but some kind of metaphor. “Really? Well, can’t complain there. It’s pretty easy to overthink things, so if that’s what works then who am I to judge?” Lowering herself into a stance, her tail sneaking from out under her jacket to lash back and forth in a display of excitement, the hybrid woman would keep a keen eye on Ryme as he made the final statement for her to impress them.

With money on the line… how could she refuse?

She narrowed her eyes, taking the briefest of moments to think of how she’d start this. Then, with only the slightly shift of her foot in the snow, she would launch at Ryme - kicking up snow behind her violently. As she approached, sprinting toward him, she’d given a sudden stop mere feet from his place in the snow to swing her body around sweep at the ground. Once more kicking up snow but intentionally trying to obscure his vision long enough to spin around him to be at his back and jab an elbow into his spine. “Eye on the prize!” She yell with laughter before attempting to follow up with a dash toward him and a left swing into his cheek and final, electrifying right hook aimed at his other cheek!

It was a simple but creative way to start things out. They wanted to see what she could do? Well, she wanted to see what they could do! It was only fair!

It wouldn't take much prodding for Zerori to come charging at Ryme. It was only surprising that she used the snow as cover because of her Sayian lineage. It was a pretty standard move, Ryme pretended to fall for it, though he did lose sight of her on her second obfuscation. Ryme considered activating his armor, that was what he would have done if this wasn't a test. No one talked about the plight of the employer the decision one had to make a snap judgment on a person's whole character. With a small list of their available requisites, you'd still hear the foolish speak of their labor being stolen when they had such an advantage. He hoped that Zerori's punch would be at least 3/4 as strong as his with the expectation she had set. The number of times Ryme had taken a face shot would increase shortly, or so he thought.

Instead, as Zerori's elbow connected to his spine, Ryme would use the momentum to dive forward, then he'd take off burrowing himself in the snow. He saw that she would use the elements to her advantage why shouldn't we be allowed to do the same? He'd fly at his top speed creating an array of tunnels before starting his offensive, he wanted a place he could retreat to. Ryme would emerge 3 meters south from where he started his initial tunnel system in the tundra.

Once he shot through the snow he'd fly up to 5 meters in the sky. On his ascent he'd be scouting for Zerori, if she was above ground he'd fire off a Ki barrage at her. Then he'd shoot a second Ki Blast at the snow to create a mist from the evaporation and dive back down into his self-made tunnels. It was obvious from her opening and how she spoke at the bank at that time. Zerori was like his brother, a close-range fighter. He would want to make sure he took full advantage of that fact. Ryme didn't expect it to take long for Zerori to sense him out or at least start to explore.

His brother had a discerning eye in the sky as the battle unfolded. Ryme believed in testing their skill in improvisation while Zero just expected his employees to be very strong. As long as their strength was something that could be relied on the other qualities of character could be compromised. Ryme didn't feel that way, but Zerori had caught his brother's eye. He hoped she wasn't like some of his other pet projects.
