I'm probably making a character for this linked with a friend's. Is that ok?

It just dies in 24h.

@Eklispe I specifically wrote out only how it looks for an onlooker who doesn't know how that works. Takumi tends to guide people to believe he has some sort of teleportation or super-speed. His panoply is lacking in direct attack options, so he's compensating by being a walking mindfuck.

That is, it wasn't intended to make sense (at least unless you devote yourself to learning about his powerset more, or do something else about it.)

@Eklispe It's a similar thing to how Gloria keeps the gainz from Ship of Theseus even while powered down. A subset of Perception Intrusion showed him the principles required to attack the visual cortex, but after memorizing them by rote, he doesn't need the Arm piloting his actions anymore to do it.

● Trackless Step: This technique combines breathing patterns, erratic walking, body posture and specific motions to make the human mind dismiss most of what it sees of Takumi as extraneous information, making it seem to the victim that he teleports or moves lightning-fast, although nothing of the sort actually takes place. This is a technique Takumi developed based on the principles Breakdown showed him, but it is not predicated on him actually using the Arm; it can be taught, if with difficulty.

Nnnope.

Do note that I explicitly unsummoned it.

Academy of Noble Arms

No Noble Arms, — Takumi smiled, unsummoning Vox Vulgaris with an effort of will.

Taking note where the three boxing him in were, he then did a weird hopping half-step backwards, swinging his arms erratically, and vanished from view as people's eyes slid off him, not being able to find purchase on his form visually.

He's suddenly out of the "box" twenty, then thirty feet to the side, flitting around like a coked up colibri — always just a tiny bit out of reach, drawing people away from teammates.

Takumi allowed himself to be grabbed. Gloria's proximity was sudden, but not really unexpected — he saw her idea-form in the quadrangle's social system flare into a nova of golden light, connecting her to him and King (and weaker still, to other people present, who perceived the change in the social atmosphere) a moment before it actually happened.

"Please don't crush my ribs," — he muttered under his breath.

Academy of Noble Arms

As for the groupings, I want you all to form groups of three. I advise you to avoid pairing with friends, however it is not prohibited!"

Takumi imperceptibly shrugged. He knew that the advice was sound — in a combat situation you don't always have the luxury of friends — but if he were to learn something, he'd rather group with people who care about getting something out of the process.

He stayed hovering at the edge of Gloria's privacy zone, without overtly moving anywhere, and brushed his hand along the sword's hilt.
His awareness shif̀te͡d̨, splitting into overlaid real world and highlighted links between objects and subjects.

@TheHangedMan

"..And the practice, sir?.."

Takumi wasn't so easily swayed, and so he stayed back for a second while the others went to the classroom.
