Tara takes a walk

"It's always so boring around heeeerrreeee," Tara the Destroyer complained as she kicked a rock into the distance farther than she could see, "Why can't anything useful show up and keep me entertained." the hollow entourage following her had one hollow who chipped in, "Why don't you take a trip to the human world then Mi'lady?" At the thought she clapped her hands and giggled, "That's a wonderful idea..maybe I won't eat you today after all Mizer!" which made sweat show visibly on his face but he quickly regained his composure.

Having entirely forgotten that unlike herself these hollow were not cloaked and did not look human. She opened a garganta to New Nork...New....Tork? New York! Yes that was it. New York in the human world and stepped through bringing them along with her. She merely took a stroll in the dark night of the world and was entirely oblivious to the fact everyone was avoiding her due to the hollow following her around.

Someone was bound to notice before she did and they would probably kill these hollow.

What a waste of food. But she didn't care because she felt and looked like a regular human to anything and everything and was going to have fun tonight even if it killed thousands.

Jun smashed into those hollow and tore them up with relative ease. He was the closest to them and people had been avoiding the strange woman. As a member of the Coalition, he had a duty to perform. The five foot six teenager faced the stranger with a very suspicious look on his face. She felt human at least. How she made hollow into pets was beyond him.

"Ma'am...who are you? And why were those hollow following you like they were your pets?" It was really strange. She could be an advent human with some sort of hypnosis ability. But something about her didn't say that to him. He was nervious around her, but didn't show it. He was ready to fight her if necessary.

"So what shall we do tonight.." Tara muttered to herself before her hollow escort was utterly destroyed by a lone young man who then proceeded to question her. ...Cha ching. "They were waiting for me to drop my guard. I had fought them earlier but it was a stand still. They've been waiting for me to fall asleep and stalking me since. Though I doubt they had enough brains to realize I was leading them through Coalition territory or they might have backed off sooner. Thanks so much for the assistance!" She said cheerfully as she perked up almost immediately. She had found a way to cure her boredom and it had even delivered itself right to her for her without her lifting a finger! yay.

"Now that you've helped me I simply must return the favor somehow. Oh! Poop. I just realized I ran out of money when I bought this new skirt!" She rummaged through a bag she was holding and pulled out a schoolgirl skirt that matched the one she was already wearing, "Can never have too many in my line of work these days! Always getting ripped and torn and made utterly useless." Funny thing was she hadn't lied so far other than about the hollows and even that lie wasn't super outlandish. Making her far more believable as a human. She was very pleased with herself and since she was already in happy schoolgirl mode it didn't really change how she already looked outwardly.

"What do you think? Have any ideas? I can't pay you with cash or food but maybe I can do something else?"

The camo jacket, blue camo shirt, jean wearing (profile pic for outfit) teen blinked a few times at the explaination and her. Did she really just offered to whore herself to him? If he was a normal teenager, it might have worked. Especially since teens like him were notoroius for being hormonal. But he wasn't a normal teen.

"Why is it I somehow doubt that? There would have been signs of a struggle on both parties even if it was a stalemate. I didn't see any signs of those hollow being in a fight previously and you look completely unharmed. Plus, no matter how infatuated a hollow or sinner can be, it should be pretty damn obvious for when they're about to enter New York of all places. Even the feral ones tend to avoid this place.

Oh, and before I forget...don't try to whore yourself to me...just because I'm a teenager doesn't mean I'll be an easy catch. So try again." It was merely a hunch due to the inconsistencies in her story. Nothing concrete...just extremely suspicious to him. He didn't like it at all. She seemed like another teenager in outward appearance, but that didn't always mean anything.

Tara blinked a few times. How in the world did this kid think she was trying to seduce him? She never once offered sex or anything. Maybe it was the way she offered to repay him somehow.. oh... using the word somehow must have given him that impression.. well she'd better fix this quickly especially since whatever he thought wouldn't have worked anyways.

"Well I wasn't trying to whore myself.. I was just trying to offer repayment for the help.. Sorry that it came off that way. As for the rest of your accusations that's a bit harsh. my powers are mostly defensive. Observe." And on cue two blades which had been "nearly" invisible to begin with now appeared floating around her as if having amind of their own. Both looking like dirks except one was white and one was black, "These are part of my power. I'm still working on getting strong enough to make something better than these two blades." That last part was a total lie but her expressions and her body language would never have given that away, "As for the other part I mentioned." She points to her neko ear headphones," I use these to generate sound waves which I then control."

She rubbed her chin and sighed a bit, "You got me on the hollows thing. I was controlling them. I can't exactly keep that a secret now can I. But I can at least explain how I did it though I'm sure you'd prefer I didn't demonstrate on you." She said as she sat cross legged to prove she wasn't going to do anything, "I used sound waves to manipulate the pleasure centers of their brains and make them my pawns temporarily. I had intended to find a coalition member by attracting attention to myself. As I wanted a field agent and not a desk jockey this was the fastest way to do it in my opinion. No one was in any danger as I could have blown their heads off at any moment."

It wasn't entirely a lie this time. She had intended to find some random coalition member to play with. She did not however intend for her servants to be slaughtered. oops. She also wasn't able to manipulate the pleasure center... well. She could.. but it wouldn't let her brainwash people. Her control was too lacking for that as the power she had was meant to destroy so she could have easily blown their heads off as weak as they had been.

"So now I've explained my unharmed appearance and how come hollow were following me..and even cleared up the misunderstanding about the sexual stuff.. I do still intend to repay you for having killed the hollow though." She thought a bit and started patting her arms and skirt a bit and did indeed manage to find a twenty dollar bill under her arm sash which read S.O.S in japanese. She also stood back up so she could hand him the money, "I was saving this but how bout I let you use it for food instead. I just ate and shopped for clothes so I'm good."

"Yeah...it came off as that very well..." Jun listened to her intently. Mostly defensive powers in nature wasn't uncommon. Though the power shown wasn't entirely defensive in his opinion, but what did he know? He never fought her. He listened to the rest of her story, taking out his cell phone to record the explaination.

It was interesting. When it was done, he stopped recording and sent it to Kerensky-sensei along with a request of a backlog report on her reiatsu. She then gave him a twenty. Jun blinked at the twenty and shoved it back underneath the S.O.S in Japanese armband. "A twenty wouldn't be enough to pay for the meals that I get. The world should be glad there isn't more than five of me. I'm doing a backlog check of your reiatsu and sent in your explaination. Until I hear back from a higher up, I'm sticking with you."

The blond was going to be thorough. The last thing they needed was another crisis...better to be safe than sorry.

"I don't understand what a backlog check for my reiatsu is but alright." She giggled a bit at the mention of his appetite, "I hear ya there. I've known some people who just can't be satisfied with a normal meal." So he was going to stick to her until he heard back from whoever he sent things too? Well alright. She'd play along then. Worse case scenario she tried to kill him and whoever else came to help him.

"I'm still new to this whole mess of hollow and fighting. Got any tips or anything for me in the future? Other than not starting another panic attack in the middle of new york?" She asked fairly innocently before stretching and looking around, "Also would you like to do anything while we wait? Or are we just gonna sit around and do nothing?"

"Basically, a check to see where you've been and the happenings in that area based on your reiatsu. We can monitor spiritual activity all over the world, send agents where they're needed most, and so on." He thought about what she said. Honestly, he wouldn't be where he was today without some help. "Socialize with someone with powers, hopefully one stronger than you are, become friends, do friendly spars. Otherwise, physical training helps and generally working out. Having a personal tutor helps. You'll find very few strong people out there that got there completely on their own. I know I wouldn't be where I'm at without some help."

His cell phone dinged before he can answer the rest. The blond looked and narrowed his gaze on her. "Yeah...there seems to be some...interesting inconsistentcies. There are very few if any dead spots in our sensors, and no one can keep their spiritual pressure completely contained for long. In one country with a vizard, go to another with said vizard who disappears, you suddenly disappear, an arrancar showing up soon after with a shinigami fighting them, then doesn't show up again until not even ten minutes ago. That is really strange. Surely you have an explaination of what happened then?"

Jun can see her going into hiding when she saw or recognize a hiding arrancar. But the rest was really suspicious. But if she had a satisfactory explaination, then there's nothing he could do beyond keeping a close eye on her.

"Let's see.. Vizard.. Vizard.. oh! You mean Elly! We didn't have enough money so we snuck onto an airplane to get around while we looked for the magic user responsible for turning chicago into a wasteland." She frowned and sighed a bit at this part, "We never found the person though and in the end Elly had to go do other stuff because she was being asked by her..brother? I think? That was a long time ago..I don't remember clearly."

She giggled a bit now having perked herself back up, "Elly was really nice." she sobered though and took a stereotypical schoolgirl thinking pose with her finger on his chin while looking up, "Uhm... I don't remember running into an...arrancar? Is that some kind of hollow??? Still new to this.. Though there was this really scary armored person fighting some guy over a bridge a while back. I ran and hid because there was fire and energy blasts going everywhere.. The last thing I saw before leaving was some flaming chariot taking the scary person with the large weapon away maybe that is what you mean?."

Damn now her investigation into that mage was cancelled as the coalition would have been watching her more closely now. She'd never get away with killing him this time.

"Is there anything else you want to grill me on or can I be treated like a person again yet. I came here and purposely looked for a field agent so I could get some advice and help darn it. If I wanted to be questioned I would have found someone somewhere to take me to your boss or something." She was honestly starting to get annoyed with this game of 20 20.

Jun frowned. "Still doesn't explain how you disappeared so suddenly only to never show up again until today. To be fair, even we're looking for whoever was responsible for that too. When someone is able to do that, it makes us nervious. Anyways, give me a moment..." He again sent in the explaination of the happenings she mentioned. It was mostly consistent and seemed correct. But while she was let go, he was to keep an eye on her.

"Good news, I'm done playing 20 questions for the moment. Bad news that could be good for you, I'm to at least keep an eye on you. So I guess the roles can be reversed now. Care to walk? It's boring just standing around talking..." That is, if that is what she wanted to do. Still, he'll listen and answer accordingly to any questions she had.

She shrugged, "I got nothing for that one. I ran into Elly shortly after I gained controlled of my powers and we clicked cuz she was super nice." She frowned for a second then smiled as he delivered the good news, "Yay well what do you want to do? I wanted to find a coalition member and learn more about the coalition from the perspective of a field agent. Like I said I didn't want to find a desk jock. Only a field agent could give me the true view of the coalition and what it does. I was hoping I could join if there weren't any problems.. you guys do seem a bit paranoid though.. "

She started to fidget with her left hand a bit..revealing a ring. "To be fair I can probably explain the disappearances but you have to promise not to take it from me if I tell you.. it's very dear to me.. it's the only thing from my parents I have."

She stopped fidgeting with her hand, "I was reluctant to tell you because I was under so much suspicion and I didn't want you to take my ring from me to try and validate anything.. but this ring hides spiritual energy. But only if I first reduce my own spiritual energy to near nothing. Like you said.. no one can do it for long..and it is very very hard on me being new to all this.."

"You can't really blame me and I didn't mean to hide it I just didn't want you to take my ring from me.. Like I said you guys seem paranoid already. I guess that is to be expected but it was still shocking since I'm not used to all this like you seem to be."

Jun blinked and nodded. He couldn't tell if he wanted to laugh or cry. He texted HQ with the explaination, which was accepted. "If you don't want us to take a look at it, that's your choice. It wouldn't be suspicious either. Others have done the same thing. You keep your stuff. My own two rings *holds his hands up to show them on his middle fingers without flipping her off*, some other dude's guns and sword, some chick's dimentional storage and her two guns, another's spear, and other nifty shit. Now, if you actually did something illegal, it would be a different story, but you haven't, at least in this country, sneaking onto a plane is but is misdemeanor at best I think, so don't worry."

He started walking, going over in his head about what he can and can't say. "We've had spies attempt before, so we are thorough. Not all humans are as...accepting of the Coalition as the majority is. What you and what we are sometimes criticized as being paranoid is only for the organization's safety. And hopefully, for the safety of the people as a whole.

I understand where you're coming from, I see it from time to time with new recruits. I haven't been there since most if not all of my family have spiritual powers of some sort...and we often revolve around how strong one is. Doesn't help my parents are a Lawyer and the Chief of Police right here in NYC. So I was already sorta used to it when I officially joined and consequently pissed off my parents in the process. So long as you understand it, you'll be fine.

Ask away. I'm not the most active agent due to said parents, but I do have some experience in the field, even casual hollow hunting."

He was taking her to a training ground, though the nearest one wasn't exactly near. So the blond decided he'd answer questions and put her worry to rest.

Tara sighed with relief both real and fake. So he wasn't going to check her ring and that meant she had no reason not to remain hidden. Good. That also meant she was safe for now. She followed him to wherever he decided to take her and listened very intently to him talk about the organization and about himself. She didn't really care about his personal things but she smiled nodded and listened intently anyways just for the sake of appearances.

"Well that was really about it.. Like I said before I was interesting in joining the coalition if no one minded. I could always use some extra training even though I seem to have gotten the gist of my powers down. Sometimes I even surprise myself at how quickly I learned it.. but then again my mom always said I was a bright girl."

Sunny day kind of bright if you asked someone but that was a different thing all together.

"Where are we going anyways?" Tara asked politely as she continued to follow him, "Also why did you join the coalition if you don't mind me asking? Since by the sounds of it your parents didn't approve of it . I'm 18 so I don't have to worry about that yay me!"

"We're always on the lookout for new talents. And don't we all need a little training?" He gave her a small, teasing smile. He continued with answering her two questions. "All potential recruits get tested for their combat abilities, whether or not you have experience. We don't go too far in the sparring matches, though you're encouraged to give it your all. There's a training ground about two to three blocks from here." He hoped that didn't freak her out.

The blond grimaced at the second question. "They didn't. They're...not fans of the Coalition. Due to their recruiting practices. I joined because I wanted to become stronger. Not because I wanted to protect people, that's just a bonus, but to eventually take on and defeat my Great Uncle, who is a shinigami captain, and make a name for myself within my family. All I hear is Riku this and Riku that, it's annoying and it's like I don't have an identity because we look so much alike. I could go on all day about it..."

He really could. They found the place soon enough, the guard merely nodding at the two, and then they were in an elevator. "Kerensky-sensei records the fights and put together a file based on what he sees. Including a possible training regimen. He does it for everyone, including me."

"Seems like the coalition plays Spy with the entire world." Tara said with a giggle, "Sounds very James Bond." She giggled again and waited for the elevator to stop before following Jun to whatever spot in the area he decided to spar with her at, "So I just have to show you my best? As long as she didn't go into second form her ring would keep functioning so that was fine, "I may not have mastered my powers but I'll warn you I can get crazy fast."

She pulled out a golden key looking dagger weird object from seemingly places you don't need to think about and spoke one more warning since this was all in fun and fairness, "Don't let this fool you either it cuts just like a dagger." She took up a weird silly looking position and waited for him to say to begin, "Whenever you are ready I suppose!" she said cheerfully as she wondered what kind of powers the boy had. She couldn't sense things worth crap so she didn't know she was actually much more powerful than him yet.. and Arngrim kept beating it into her head, sometimes literally, to be cautious in all things to make up for that weakness. So she was going to play the innocent noobish fighter for now and kick it up a notch or three when she needed to start being better.

Jun couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Sometimes we do. Depending on the section you decide to go to, some do it more often than others." He hadn't. He was mostly light support or the tech specialist. The area the elevator led to was a desert, sand and cacti. But just a couple hundred feet away to the left was the beginnings of a beach, which led to a foresty mountainous area.

He simply walked out, smiling at what she said and shrugged. He watched her pull out an odd...key dagger thingy from an area that he really didn't want to know where. Blinking twice, he spoke. "Yeah...I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve too. When I toss my cell, be ready." Pulling out his cell, he waited for the ok. When he got it, he tossed it over to the elevator.

In an instant, he was at her left, keeping watch on the odd dagger while aiming a slap to her face as a type of test to see where she stood. Speed and strength were him. Right afterwards, he blurred away from her, kicking a rock towards her to see how she reacted.

Tara blinked as he left her vision only for him to show up on her side trying to slap her. She crouched down and aimed a flat side key strike to his cheek in return for trying to slap hers and then proceeded to keep pace with him while smiling and giggling making sure to skip over the rock he kicked her way she turned that skip into a cartwheel and was jumping up to do an overhead heel drop to his skull without missing a beat or even trying really.

but she screwed up last second on purpose and missed him entirely with the kick and crashed into the ground with a big thud. Coughing cuz of the sand and dust cover that kicked up she quickly stood up and brushed off the dust and sand best she could. He hadn't used a weapon yet.. odd.. so in response she put her own key dagger zanpaktou away, somehow, and took a weird looking boxing stance.

"Momma said knock you out!" She said loudly before seeming to leave an after image in her old  place while uppercutting into Jun's chin, or trying to anyways, all of a sudden. She then did.. nothing. She took a fighting pose of near no guard and waited.. or so it seemed because a sound wave crashed into existence and aimed itself for Jun's left side after she snapped the fingers of her left hand a moment later. Following that she did actually sit and wait for him to move this time. Watching him very carefully as she was a genius for battle and loved seeing if she could learn something new.

Reaction time seemed pretty good. She ducked and aimed a cut at his cheek. Jun stepped back and backed off. The woman also skipped the rock he kicked while going into a cartwheel. Jun grinned when he noticed she messed up and missed entirely. Through the dust, he aimed a kick at her face as she was coughing. He'd long since gotten accustomed to the hazards of combat.

The blond backed off again, waiting to see what she would do, though this time, he moved closer to the beach. He nearly cracked up when she put her weapon away and got into a wierd boxer stance. Jun was surprised when there was an afterimage where she just was and was in front of him. He dodged it easily enough, aiming a punch of his own towards her face.

However, she stopped with a lowered guard, confusing him. Then he heard it. The blond jumped back and into the water by the beach. It came up to his waist at the deepest, and that was where he was at. This time, she sat and waited. All at once, he was starting to doubt her noobish fighting. Then again, Kerensky-sensei did say sometimes good instincts prevailed.

He stayed and thought. Water wasn't a good place to be for sound as water conducts sound so much better than air. Let's see what she does. The young Tomoshibi backed off again, landing farther away in water. "You know...I just realized we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Jun Tomoshibi."

After he heard her name, he ducked into the water, and jumped out. Once he met his maximum height, he started to cartwheel in mid-air. And slammed himself and his foot into the water, creating a tsunami that would uproot the varius plants in the desert portion and do a good amount of damage to the forest.

He didn't expect it to do much to her though. But he also spoke softly. "Hado 4: Byakurai." A white beam of energy speared out of his finger. It wasn't very strong, he was terrible with kido, for multiple reasons, mostly the fact that he was human. Which if she recognized the ability or knew anything about shinigami, should be surprised.

The boy was soon above her. "Bakudo 4: Hainawa!" A yellow string of energy was fired from him that would entangle her if it hit. When he landed, he aimed a kick to her gut, followed by a chop to her collor bone.

Each time the blonde attacked her face her blades would appear, flat side showing, and blocking the punch and kick counters. The same two nearly invisible blades she had shown him earlier were now acting like their usual combat selves and appearing and disappearing as needed while staying near her at all times. Now perhaps he would understand why she said the power was more defensive than offensive.

"My name is Terra Trezo" She said as she stopped and blinked during the sparring match. She felt like she was being tested because he had known about her sound powers and was now sitting in a body of water. She thought for a moment and decided it was simple science that sound traveled better through water and she would know such a thing having already stated her mom thought she was a smart girl earlier as well, "Bad move!" She snapped her fingers in his direction and hurled a sound wave from infront of him heading his way within the water.

He created a tsunami with what seemed to be his foot and she merely tanked it..probably surprising him as much as she intended it too before she realized he had fired a bolt of lightning at her and it struck her wet body as well electrocuting her... But she was up within moments and shaking it off as well. Tara was a speed tank. What she lacked in power she made up for in these regards.

The yellow rope of energy bound her shortly after and once again she called upon her blades to defend her, flat side again to keep him from lacerating himself, stopping the kick to her gut just barely while the chop to her collar bone was stopped well before it reached her. Giving her time to raise her spiritual power to the maximum her current form allowed, without endangering her ring, and power break the kidou she was bound in. Though she recognized the spells she was absolutely baffled that a human had used it on her, and it was showing on her face.

"How did you DO that?!? I've never seen anyone do that before!" She said slowly regaining her composure as she took another weird boxing stance. She shook her head and shivered a bit as she shook the water off her body best she could, "I hope I'm not surprising you too much I have a lot of power even if I'm not fully in control of it yet, but what you just did was so cool! How did you do the water thing and the lightning bolt thing and even that rope thing!?"

Jun was starting to understand what she meant by defensive now. The flats of those blades. He wondered good they are at taking on hits from multiple directions? Either way, he cartwheeled out of the remaining water and onto the beach. She knew her power's properties. Then again, she did say she was 18...good to see she didn't lose all knowledge from her high school days.

His kido worked, but those blades got in the way. Jun backed off as her spiritual pressure rose and broke his kido spell. He couldn't help but chuckle at her surprise. He decided to humor her a little. "My own natural strength with a bit of momentum did the water thing. I was a bit nervious because of your sound abilities, but you were a bit slow on that. The other two were kido spells, something only shinigami and vizard could use. Under normal circumstances. My family has shinigami blood in their veins, so some have been able to learn some of the spells thanks to some diaries left by that particular ancestor. However, when compared to an expert and even those that might be average in that art, we'll never fully measure up, despite that some of us have learned some hefty spells.

Also, don't be too proud of breaking that rope. I suck at kido, so they're actually kinda weak coming from me, even with full incantations. And all I know are some of the weaker spells. But still, don't underestimate their usefulness, especially the Bakudo series." He warned her.

Jun backed up towards the forest, sticking his hand out at her, but ready to dodge should she fire any more sound waves at him. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado 31: Shokkaho!" A red ball of energy fired from his hand. Stronger than it would be if he simply used the name of it, but still fairly weak.

Right after, he went deep into the woods, thinking about what to do next while seeing if she would follow or not, and if so, what she would do. So far, she seemed like a very...tanky fighter. Defensive in nature with high durability, but low speed and a semi-troublesome offensive ability. He could barely hear the sound bubbles and barely sense them. He wasn't the best of sensors...far from it, but at least he can sense.

He ended up leaving his camo jacket by some bushes while he stayed up, hiding in the canapies. The boy wanted to see if she can sense spiritual pressures at all...

She grabbed her white dirk from it's place around her and used it to slice the red ball of energy in half with little difficulty before releasing the blade and letting it return to it's defensive measures around her. Hide and seek was it? She couldn't sense worth a damn but she could hear very well and was faster than he seemed to be giving her credit for. She crouched down marathon runner style and bolted off at her current top speed, which was amazingly fast and was zipping around the forest listening for any sound of his breathing and movements in general.

After what she believed was too long she did locate him somewhat, at least his general direction and distance from her, and responded to this knowledge by clapping her hands and releasing a big burst of sound waves from them towards him busting up tree's and knocking them over in the process. The second, nay, instant he moved she would have been on top of him. Activating her hyper-speed combat ability she would have attempted to deliver a dozen punches to his stomach and chest in the blink of an eye before de-activating the ability and hopping back.

"I liked this game of hide and seek" She said while tapping her headphones, "But I'm so used to my sound abilities that I have super hearing. I can't sense you but I can still hear you." She giggled a bit and shook her head, "I don't have much else to show you sadly. you've seen my endurance, my speed, my abilities. So unless I strip for you," She quickly shook her hands at him and laughed, "I'm just kidding!! Kidding I swear!"

She took a stance again this time actually one resembling her own unique fighting style. One leg forward. body tilted. one hand up and one hand low. Both open palmed.. Much akin to other martial arts. except she seemed more..fluid..not rigid in the stance.

"Whether we continue or not is up to you. I can keep going for a while."

Jumping from his little hiding spot, initially wondering how she found him so quickly. He didn't have time to ponder it when she was suddenly right there in front of him. No time to activate his rings. The blond couldn't dodge real well in midair, so he tried to block and redirect. However, he still took about half of the blows. He hit the tree he was aiming to bounce off of with his back and landed on his knees and arms. That hurt quite a bit, his bare, skinny arms bruising already. He didn't want to look at his torso.

Getting up, she explained. Sound huh...that she barely needed any sensing capability to detect things was a mild surprise...even his Kyokko could block sound. He did go crimson when she mentioned stripping down. Thankfully, she was kidding. Jun looked up. He knew there was a camera here somewhere. A loud voice boomed. "Please. Just because what's all you can do, doesn't mean that's all we need to know. Jun still has to use his actual powers among another set of tricks. I'd like to see how you react."

Shrugging, the teen spoke. "You heard him. It's not much more though." The boy bent his knees and put his right side towards her. His right arm up, bent at the elbow for his fist to face up. His other arm was bent, fist facing the front of his body. He closed his eyes for a second. When they reopened, they were more...focused. At the same time, the muscles in his arms bulged and buffed. Underneath his clothes, the same happened. He was still thin and lean, but his muscles were a lot more prominant now.

Darting forward with his right foot, he turned his full body and swung his left fist out. A shockwave of his fist fired out. With his focused state, his strength increased, doubled. He still continued forward, a kido spell activating when one of those daggers showed up. "Hado 1: Sho!" Hopefully that would push it away as his fists suddenly lit up in flames. Or so it appeared.

Hwajeh was what he was using, so one attack was actually two. And he gave her two dozen punches total. He had to quite with that attack though. Friction burns often happened on both the spots he hit and on his own hands afterwards. The last attack he did was another punch right below her breasts, in the center of her body. Patoh Pah caused massive blunt force trauma to whereever it hit. Often making craters if it missed and hit the ground instead. It would certainly do a shockwave on the person's body, though damaging a good 3 feet or half their body, depending what was smaller.

He backed off a bit after that. Shaking his hands a bit as they were sore from using all three right in a row and in quick succession like that...and from her tough skin if he hit her...which he would find odd...

"Then I guess I'll show you my version of Go no Sen the fighting style I was taught to use.." She said in response to Jun and she took a slightly different stance. She had both fists open palmed and tilted but bent back to be at her side. This would let her quick jap her palms faster to start and is better for countering incoming attacks.Only for her to get hit by a sudden shockwave he launched at her and force her to retake her stance as she regained her footing after sliding back some from the hit. Suddenly he closed the gap between then and uttered another Kidou spell at her which her daggers, on their own naturally, moved together to block, which she realized quickly is what he wanted because he was attacking her head on with his fists.

She was indeed burned when she moved her hands to counter the first couple of strikes and her palms kept being burned every hit thereafter but she was diverting them all to the sides until the very last one which hit her full force and actually made her gasp for air as it activated it's area of effect attack against her upper torso and part of her lower torso as well.

She slid back quite a ways but managed to keep on her feet and shook her hands as she stared at the ground for a long while trying to keep her calm. She hadn't been hurt like that in a while and she knew it was because she was holding back but geez.. that still stung. She coughed a couple more times and smiled a bit as she looked up at Jun and kept slowly shaking her hands, "That's quite a technique you've got there.. if I could see it but a few more times I bet I could do it too.. Like I said.. I'm a pretty bright girl.. I learn quickly.."

"If you have anything else I'd start using it now cuz I'm about to get serious!" She said this and fidgetted with her headphones, more for appearance than actually doing anything since they weren't real headphones, before smiling a bit wider and speaking again, "I'm going to make you dance for me~" and then she began to sing Mozarts requiem with La's in place of the tones. It sounded quite nice considering but was actually very dangerous because she was a sound power user.

"Laaaa laaa laaaa la la laaa lalala lala la la lalala laaaaaaa~" Each time she sang a note the air around her would burst with her spiritual power and try to slam into Jun while continuing to sing and continuing to use this power she would move to rush him at her fastest speed and attempt to merely stay near him as her daggers began to assault him and her fists moved in direct opposites of the daggers to make a more confusing pattern of attacks.

After a few moments of this she hopped back and stopped her singing.. going down to a knee and panting as she exerted a lot of her power to do that while holding the main focus of her power, her hollow forms, back so that the ring still functioned. Not once did it stop working and she was very proud of that as she treasured that ring as a gift from her Lord Arngrim.

Being weaker than she was was a lot harder than people might think!

She had just enough strength to deal with whatever he had left to throw at her..but she didn't have enough strength to keep throwing all of her limited might at him like that without risking being detected.. so she was going to go back to her playful defensive demeanor.

"I could keep going but I think we should stop before one of us ends up seriously injured." She said as she regained her composure after dealing with any, if there even were any to begin with, of Jun's counters to her little onslaught there.

It worked! Not as well as Jun had hoped, but it was still a fairly good success. Although...normally, his hand didn't hurt like it did when he practice the lower tiers of the techniques. It was like he hit something more than just muscle, skin, and potentially bone. The boy didn't have time to ponder it, however. He didn't that she might copy the moves...but she needed to focus first. Rena did not put him through hell for no reason.

Sound attacks...in rapid succession. There was no way he could dodge them all. He attempted anyway, and punched and kicked at the spiritual blasts of sound. In the end, he had to activate his two rings. Both of them turned into chain whips with a single blade at the end and a band that was tight around his forearm.

Firing out a fire wave and a lightning wave to take some of the attacks, he still got hit in left shoulder, right knee, clipped both sides, and got smacked right in the chest. His body was aching and shaky afterwards. But her onslaught was far from over. She was already on top of him...probably closing the distance as he was busy dealing with the attacks, despite the thick forest.

Letting go of the whips, he controlled them telepathically to block and trap the daggers while attacking with the blades, aiming right for the shoulders or the back of the knees. Meanwhile, she assaulted him with her fists, and he did the same, trying to match blow for blow and attacking her at the same time. Again though, she got him sporadically. He was definitely near his limit on taking attacks. If this fight lasted any longer, he'd have to use his trump to win...but that wasn't the objective here.

Terra backed off soon after, though he didn't let go of the daggers. The blond nodded his agreement and let go of them then, the chain whips going back into their ring forms. He also defocused, the muscles not as bulky on him anymore. "Agreed. I'm reaching my limit...if I'm to win, I'd have to use my trump...and that tends to end things one way or anything and is often not pretty. Let's call this one a draw. You look a little beat yourself."

Smiling, he walked over and put his hand out for a handshake. Admittedly, he was still shaky from the sound attack. He lead her off to a new door after recovering his jacket. After a check on him, he got some paperwork and handed it to her. "Fill these out and turn them in asap. Then we'll do a background check and see where the best place to put you. Included are the divisions and their current heads, temporary or not. You have a place nearby or what? Oh, keep in mind that you'll also undergo a physical too..."

He'd answer any questions for her...

He had managed to chain up her daggers as the back of her mind felt them tugging viciously at their new bonds and then he began to match her punch for punch as best he could. He was fairly strong physically but she could tell his body wasn't going to be able to keep up with the beating he was receiving. When she backed off he proposed a draw, which she graciously accepted as a means of stopping the match, despite the fact she knew and was annoyed that she was capable of winning.

She brushed her skirt off a bit and sighed softly as she took the paperwork from Jun. As she rummaged through the paperwork. He mentioned a physical..which made her brain swim at new strategies she would need to do to pass that exam.. first thing that came to mind was magic..and the first magical place she thought of? Amesbury Library.. it was run by werewolves but that shouldn't be a big problem. They didn't tend to dwelve too deeply into situations as long as it wasn't something forbidden and she just wanted a racial change temporarily.

"I don't have a place as I travel around a lot.. but I'll work on this and return within three days. I have to go talk with my parents so they don't worry and there is an errand I want to run before I start working." She smiled and went to shake Jun's hand, "Soon as those are done I'll be at the coalition with these papers and I'll make sure to tell them you sent me so they don't get upset at my sudden appearance."

Assuming he didn't want to talk more, she would turn to leave and begin to do so. She remembered the way out so he wouldn't need to escort her..though she wouldn't object if he offered to anyways. She had lots to do now and she had very little time to do it.
