Taiyo watched as his opponent walked parallel to him and while he watched with his hands in his pocket, the boy decided to use ki blasts. The small after images of Taiyo's movements as he shifted to the right for the first one, his hand gently brushing against it before he thrust outwards, the blast suddenly shifting direction last minute to fly off into another direction. His hand acting as a funnel to deflect it and protecting his hand using his own energy.
It was the second two that Taiyo had to worry about, but if he was worried his expression showed no signs of it. Both hands thrusting forward right between the ki blasts before using his palms to push them slightly wider and towards the floor. The blasts exploding behind him before he returned his hands to his pockets, his smile still present as he got ready for the next assault. The boy then commenting on not wanting to use weaker attacks in favor of hitting people. The sword monk chuckled his amusement to that comment.
"All forms of attack can be useful at the right moment. Those little attacks might not do much damage, but I bet a foe who is charging or resting would find it mighty distracting to be attacked."
With that Taiyo sighed, his breath carrying thin wisps of smoke and mist from the corners of his mouth. He maintained his posture but ultimately did not attack. He simply waited patiently for the next lot of attacks. He was demonstrating that if Arlo did not attack, Taiyo would regain some of his ki from before. He said nothing, but it was clear by his stance and posture he was simply resting. Though whether it was bait or not was up to the kid to decide.

Arlo would laugh surely he did not think he was going to allow him to rest the game was to keep going until one of them didn't have enough energy to grab a beer and with a head tilt Arlo would note that there was only one beer left his teeth would grit cause well he wanted that beer and if he could help it he would get it. He would hold his hand in front of him and begin charging energy the blast forming in the palm of his hand. The ki would be Arlo's normal blue color but he would strain for a second veins becoming visible in his arm and his eyes would flash red for a second if anyone knew anything about demons they would surely know that Arlo was one now. The Ki ball in his hand would have a black streak of energy enter it and then another one, Arlo knew exactly what he was doing this added power would make Taiyo have to really block like when they were really sparring if he did not well this would hurt a hell of alot. Arlo would launch the ki ball of but the ball would be crackling with black power as it made it's way toward Taiyo Arlo would not send another one this time instead he would crouch down and watch to see how the man would handle this hopefully he did not over do it. one basic Ki blast added 2 levels of Mayko power to it for 30% added in total Ki Blast damage- 4699
Makyo Power: The Makyo star is the main source of power for all demons, given that Demon's are capable of unleashing more power unto their attacks. A demon is capable of increasing the power behind their attacks by 15% for a Maximum of 4 times. [All four charges can be used at once.] This number is increased to 20% if fighting in Hell or during a Solar Eclipse.
Ki- 17900

Taiyo watched with calm eyes as Arlo charged his attack, the sword monk saying nothing as more power was added to it. His hair blowing back as he felt the sting from the sand striking his cheeks. His posture was still relaxed but Taiyo slowly adopted a different kind of stance. A stance where both feet are parallel, both legs slightly bent with the width of two foot between them. With both his knees bent, his stance as solid as it was, Taiyo could feel his balance perfectly right itself. His torso right up as he closed his eyes to relax.
Abruptly the ground beneath Taiyo began to shift ever so slightly, the sword monk's breathing emitting fire and mist from each corner of his mouth. The twins spirits of summer and winter were with him, he could feel it. Their strength added to his own, the human's eyes slowly opening to reveal the red glint in his brown eyes. As the blast came for him, the human lifted his hand high above his head before blue energy could be seen forming along the whole of his left arm.
Quickly Taiyo brought it down, the shield of ice that normally formed a flat wall suddenly forming an edged shield. The ice deflecting the beam off into harmless air while it sprayed the front of his defenses. The shield slowly melting as it took more and more punishment. The human holding his posture of having used his hand to chop, sweat beaded the sword monks forehead as the beam tore into his shield. Chunks of it breaking off until finally the left side broke off and Taiyo's shoulder was exposed on that side. Thankfully the beam ended before any more harmful damage could be done.
With that Taiyo stood up before waving his hand. The Shield turning to water before following his hand like a whip, the sword monk throwing the water to the side were it landed in the grass nearby. Taiyo looked down at his shoulder before laughing his amusement at having been harmed. Arlo sure did back a punch, even if he was a young man. But thankfully Taiyo wasn't a weakling either. Dusting his shoulder off and returning his gaze to Arlo, Taiyo's eyes had returned to their calm and composed self. His posture just as lazy as before. While he didn't have his swords with him, he had managed to use his magic thanks to the bonds they had.
His shoulder hurt a little, the beam had given him some nasty little surface burns and torn his shoulder open on his jacket along with the shirt beneath. Training sucked.... He didn't understand why people wanted to torture themselves to get stronger. He didn't mean to judge but... with a burnt shoulder, a kid with a sliced open shoulder. This kind of sucked ass. He didn't like training at all but he supposed sometimes life didn't care what you liked. He was just glad Arlo was having fun.

If the kept going like this they would take forever and even with the little damage he had dealt that was not the goal of this little training session the real goal was to outlast the other one, and with a quick gauge of the two's energy Arlo could tell they were pretty even but Arlo had the advantage cause Taiyo was not attacking if he was Arlo would not be able to continue from the sheer amount of damage he would have already taken. "i don't declare you my teacher, i declare you my first rival. I know you don't yearn for battle but that is why you are so dam interesting!"
Arlo would charge down his energy suppressing it, he was prepared to go all out for most physical bouts and it was just the type of person he was but thinking back he was impressed with this man before he even had meet him, the swordmans saving the people from the bakery without ever even taking responsibility and surely he had more things to do but he moved to civilians aid as soon as he had heard the explosions from the robbers at the store they had dug their tunnel at in order to get into the bank. And even though Arlo could have handled himself the man helped a strange painted naked boy without asking any questions knocking out each robber without killing them, this man was the type of hero's no one would write about. But their story's just as great. A man content with drifting in the ocean where as Arlo was a swimmer making his way both usually ended up at the same destination. "Taiyo i wan't you to promise me one thing. Don't give up on the idea of training it is not simply hurting yourself, it's unlocking things you never knew you had and finding your true self. Is that not why you travel? To find yourself."
And with that Arlo would apply a technique he had been working on in theory it was something he had already knew but it was well faster and better he would throw paint into the air and it would cover his body in a instant Arlo would vanish and start walking around, he didn't have to lay down to remain unseen he just didn't have to attack but the moment he did his energy would be detected. Arlo would circle Taiyo and begin whistling a slow tune as he tried to get a mark on the best location to attack maybe he could play a bit. Arlo would pick up in speed and begin charging energy in his hand this would surely get Taiyo's attention but Arlo would not attack instead he would lower the pent up energy then move again. He would do this three more times and then the last time Arlo would burst from camo having moved behind Taiyo he would aim a Falcon punch at his chest. Learning this technique in this thread [ST2]Improved Camouflage- A improved form of camouflage using the terrain in order to blend into one's environment, when mixed with ki suppression one can be rendered invisible to the naked eye. This version allows movement during the technique, with it costing 5% stamina per post to maintain.

Taiyo listened to the boy spoke, his smile remaining as the boy declared him his rival and not a teacher. The man didn't realize he was apply for either, not that he minded of course. He just was glad his opponent was happy, slowly getting back into position he got ready for the next attack. His hands sliding into his pockets while he adjusted his feet a bit, tapping his shoe against the ground to shake off the loose sand. Though the boy's compliment was well meaning, but Taiyo found himself less interesting and more just plain.
The boy then went on to speak about training, a very subject he had just been thinking on at that very moment. Perhaps it pure coincidence, or perhaps the boy was psychic. Whatever the case was, Taiyo said nothing back, keeping his eyes on the boy. The boy threw paint into the air, before then beginning to move. While Taiyo was not familiar with the technique specifically, the man's eyes instantly went to the ground where he watched carefully. Piece of grass, the sound of his whistling, before charging up a feint. The Sword monk turning to defend in his general location.
True Arlo was invisible to his eyes, but Taiyo was not without his other senses. His instincts, hearing, and perception of his environment, all of this built to a wide detection net. While yes the boy was covering himself in paint, Taiyo was simply had to pay attention to find his mark. They were in a sandy and grass filled area. Tracking was not difficult for the man, but he didn't know exactly where the boy was, he could generally keep his direction in mind so long as he was walking about or whistling.
Finally the attack came, the boy had moved behind Taiyo. Thankfully the sword monk was ready, quickly turning, the sword monk's own body weaving out of the way. Though he wasn't fast enough, the boy's fist struck his bicep on his already injured arm. The sword monk grunting before twirling away and landing some distance away, his arm hidden from view at first only to reveal a bruised bicep. His left arm was growing weaker with each injury it sustained. The man chuckled before standing upright.
"You sure are sneaky Arlo and hit hard. I dunno why you'd think that about me. I am having fun."
Taiyo stated, lying because he wanted Arlo to have fun. He didn't want others to find him uninteresting or unable to help. So even if he didn't like it, as long as it wasn't hurting anyone but Taiyo, he would do it. Thats just the kind of person he was.

Everything was going great but somewhere around the world someone would be thinking of Arlo would be just about to speak when his phone would go off and he would flip it open looking over what it said, he didn't think one would come so soon but his job was always priority. But he still was thinking on what Taiyo said Arlo would put his clothes on then come back toward Taiyo he would scratch the back of his head "Why would i think that? well you have not been taking this serious the entire time, your real relaxed about everything but at the same time your a very disrespectful fighter or maybe your not a fighter at all, i assumed the latter. But if you are a fighter than my idea of you is completely wrong, to put your hands in your pocket while sparring is not something you do while having a respectable match as true fighter, to anyone watching it would seem like the entire ordeal was not worth it in your mind just another thing your doing in the grand scheme of doing things.
Also when i came at you with a spar offer when you accepted it you accepted anything that came with it, i understand you not thinking i would take the hit but surely if you didn't want to hurt me you would have stayed inside when i was trying to have a basic spar but you wanted to take it outside when you noted destroying the building to me that meant you were gonna take this serious but you didn't or maybe you did i assume didn't. You only got into a proper stance when i pumped enough energy into a attack to make it lethal, if you plan to spar like that no one will ever take you serious, then you tried to train me, when i said i wanted to test my abilities against yours not learn from you, there would be no reason to learn form someone weaker than me and one who does not even mirror my style, you rely on your ki i rely i my true strength with Ki to assist me. But i have to go stay as long as you like John is dead anyway."Arlo would take off down the road with his belongings it was time to leave Ginger town and do something exciting.

Taiyo said nothing as the boy answered his phone before walking into the building. He then began to explain why Taiyo was the way he was. The man said nothing, letting the boy have his word and when he spoke of John being dead, Taiyo's eyes softened further. His smile disappeared while he waited patiently for the boy to begin leaving. He said nothing as the boy walked away, thinking on what the boy had said. Perhaps some of what he said was true, yet Taiyo felt as if the boy assumed much.
Running a hand through his hair, sighing heavily before gently touching his shoulder. It hurt to move his arm, but it was clear it wouldn't be lasting damage. The sword monk simply held his arm as he straightened up and looked towards the city. Perhaps Arlo was in need of someone else in his life. Taiyo certainly wasn't doing a good job it seemed, but he could only shrug when his efforts failed. Slowly walking towards the city, Taiyo reflected on his actions and the boy... In truth Taiyo shouldn't have spoken to the boy in length or accepted the fight. He was right, Taiyo shouldn't fight anyone.
Thinking back to the hands in the pocket, the martial art his master taught him. He had never considered it dirty or disrespectful. His fighting style was varied, as he collected them. The sword monk would huff and cause a few strands of hair to fly away from his face. Whatever the outcome, Taiyo knew to avoid Arlo till he got older. The boy seemed to want something from Taiyo it felt like, but he didn't understand what it was. While thinking on it, Taiyo walked along the road leading to a city. He was going to buy himself a gi, and hopefully that would keep him from having to get new clothing all the time.
