Tanji throws a punch but Otto cocks back then Tanji takes this chance to aim for his legs. However, Otto crackles with masses of white electricity and flips right over his ploy for victory. He lands in front and Tanji is just confused. He thinks “How can I win this?! I’ve used everything. I put him in awkward positions but he still succeeds no matter what. I give up.” Tanji raises his hand and gives up. The master’s aura dies down and his hair returns to a greyish colour. He says “Well done. You didn’t succeed but you used intelligence to your advantage.”
“Your next stage is a weapon.” He opens the armoury door and Tanji strolls into it. He looks around, trying to acquire a perfect weapon. Shuriken, Mabo throwing knives, Katana, Gauntlets etc. He thinks “How do I even choose?” He then strolls upon the Thin Blade. A strong, titanium + iron fused swor
He gets up and shakes Fabian’s hand. He takes his sword and places it in his inventory secretively.Tanji goes into the weapon room himself to see the different weapons. He then notices some knuckledusters. They are very heavy, at least a kilogram a piece. He is surprised by its weight but takes it anyway. He rips the thin, black wrapping off and looks upon his still dark knuckledusters. He wears them on his knuckles and throws several punches. He is happy with it and makes it one of his weapons.He also finds a small bow. The bow is about 50% longer than a fist and has very small arrows. He looks at it and thinks “How is this even a weapon? A bow the size of a fist is bound to be trash. Bows need that size. I can probably find some arts for this but goddamn is this a terrible weapon. I feel like if I get some arrow arts it’ll be manageable.” He takes the bow from the wall and removes the black wrapping to reveal a wo
He thumps to the floor but he just grabs his sword and gets back up. He grips it tight and switches to the Guarding Stance.He thinks “This guy is strong! I can’t let him through my guard.” He grips the sword and his eyes glow golden. He thinks “Let’s do what I practiced.” He floods the sword with a lot of qi then claws grow from his fingernails. A translucent aura takes over his body and his strength greatly increases. He whispers “Thin Blade Barrage..” His aura begins to become more violent and he beams off towards Vaderuk with his newfound speed. He ducks under a punch and slashes his side. This cracks the breastplate then he slashes up his forearm. He then slashes down powerfully with his sword. Vaderuk’s breastplate saves him but the breastplate gets greatly damaged. The broken metal plates start dangling from the soft base of the breastplate.Tanji goes in with a kick then back step
Tanji reaches down and taps on Vaderuk’s shoulder. He says “Hello? Hey!” He checks his pulse and says “Oh.. okay. I thought something happened.” Vaderuk wakes up shortly after and says “Vaderuk is okay.” He stands and reaches out his massive hand. “Vaderuk thinks that was a good fight..” Tanji shakes his hand and nods. He leaps out of the ring and just makes his way to finding a new breastplate.Tanji turns and sees Lucas point at him with new weapons. Two katars on his hands. They are dark black with silver designs on each side. He has them tied to his wrist to stop them falling. Tanji smirks and says “Want a rematch?” Lucas says “Yes! Bor taught me some new moves and I want to beat you now!” Tanji says “Let’s go!”From mere looks, Lucas looks much m
Lucas nods then stumbles up to his unstable feet. His healing factor is currently racing towards bringing him back up to optimal health. Even his body temperature has risen by a whole degree celsius.Once Tanji returns home, he feels the immense pressure from the beaming moonlight. He thinks “Huh? The full moon!” He leaps out of the way of the moonlight then rushes back up to rummage through his wooden cabinets for his sedatives. His eyes flash golden while doing so. He opens the final drawer with newly grown claws. He sees a metallic casing with pills inside. He shakes his head to try and get over the moonlight and his control drops to a low 40%.He claws open the packaging and sees one pill. He holds it in his fingers and exhales calmly. He chews it then eats it. Once he eats it, he feels no difference. “I feel the same! I&rs
He then sees a new notification. [Leaps and Bounds. Made large improvements in fighting ability][NEW ART UPGRADE!][NEW POWER UPGRADE!][ART REFURBISHMENT!]The options then appear across the screen for his Art Upgrade.[OPTION 1: Qi Rush > Qi Burst [For 15 seconds, condensed qi rushes through the body and increases all physical stats by +25. OPTION 2: Dire Leap > Dire Slam [After a large leap, the user can slam one leg into the ground, causing a powerful attack that, if not defended against, can kill in one slam] OPTION 3: Qi Cloaked Palm > Qi Cloaked Claws [Qi formulates a clawed hand cloaking the hand that can be devastating for 30 seconds. Arm Power, Speed and Durability +30%. Power and Speed stat +14. OPTION 4: NONE]He analyses the different options. He thinks of his fighting style and how these different upgrades can aid him. He obviously will also look at how good the
He arrives at a massive hall with several gridded rings, just like at Farholde. He then sees the same spectator rooms sky high in the hall. The proctors then stand in a line at the front of the hall. A voice is then heard across the hall, announcing the first match between an ogre and vampire. The vampire stands onto the ring and says “You’re gonna rough up my clothes.” He stretches his feet in his church shoes then clicks off his golden watch. He throws it onto the side then a proctor blurs towards them. He picks up the watch then blurs back to the line of proctors. The vampire just shrugs it off and takes off his black suit top. He reveals his white shirt with a midnight black tie and then his eyes glow blood red. He grows large and sharp fangs then grows some muscle mass. He is about 6’1, 190lbs. Pretty much the average frame for the vampires and werewolves of the city. The ogre smirks and says “Zirek will put you in your place!” He is 6’
Tanji resides within the spectator room, with several other anxious teens. Tanji stands and thinks “If I find these other 4 people and measure their stats, maybe I can see what type of power I’m up against!” He notices the second guy and sees he is a Half-Blood Vampire and is of quite short stature. An outcast from the Bancroft and a human mother.He thinks “There are so many people that look like this! How am I supposed to find him?” He looks around then makes his way through the several spectator rooms. He doesn’t find him and just assumes he’s in a match.However, he finds his third opponent. A white-haired ghoul from the Firefinger Family. He thinks “This guy seems strong..” He just stands in the middle of the room, staring at the floor of the room. He is 5’8 and approximately 165lb
Tanji prepares for his fourth match and thinks “Do people just not train? That is real stupid. It makes no sense but if I get the wins then oh well..”He meets his opponent, a classic small werewolf. 5’8 and about 155lbs. He is slim but obviously wields some great power. His hair is brown and so is his eyes. Tanji quickly gets to reading his stats.Peter MarquessStrength: 29Speed: 19Defence: 23Constitution: 21Control: 71%Intelligence: 4(Average human male has stats of 3 - 6)Species: Half-Blood WerewolfTanji thinks “Easy work!” Peter says “Are you any good?” Tanji doesn’t reply and this irritates Peter. His eyes glow golden and his claws extend.
