Gareth slowly lowered into a stance as if he were about to start running, a flicker of green circling about his legs for a moment before he shot forward like a bullet, the shock-wave causing the ground to tremble. The speed made his figure grow instantaneously in Silvia's eyes as Gareth's eyes maintained contact with her own. His nonchalant expression hung from his face as he finally landed on his left leg only a few feet away from Silvia. In a continuous motion, Gareth swept his right leg behind his left, avoiding the roundhouse and opting for a back roundhouse instead as he bent at the waist and his torso went parallel to the ground. The sweeping kick maintained a trajectory toward's Silvia's waist, but changed directions nearly instantaneously and barreled towards her lower jawline in a surprising show of skill for Gareth's brutish nature. Silvia could hear a threatening whistling noise coming from his leg as the force of Gareth's entire body and momentum was spearheaded by his foot. As one would expect from a berserker, he went all in from the get-go.

Gareth nodded happily as Artura affirmed that the next bout would be his, brushing past Silvia with a grin, "Don't worry Guild Master, I'm not usually one to disappoint. Let's have fun, Silvia." He undid the pin to the harness on his back that held his 3 blades, allowing them to fall to the ground outside of the ring. Gareth waved towards Kaito as he passed, helping him pick up one of the blades stuck into the grass. Facing Kaito, he pushed the sword forward as if it were an olive branch, "You're ability is as skillful as shadow girl's are peculiar. Perhaps we'll have an opportunity to exchange pointers later." He offered in a more sympathetic tone.

With that being said, Gareth leaped into the ring and punched his fist to his palm, strands of green light shuddering out from the impact, his wolfish grin returning to his face in full force. "Let's do this."

Gareth could only smile bitterly at being called a brute, but he couldn't say the name was undeserved. He watched the fight, sympathizing with Kaito as he stormed out of the arena to retrieve his blades. Although in his eyes, Kaito had lost the match since he had left the marked arena, he wasn't entirely convinced of whom the victor in a real fight would be, thus his features formed a slight, dissatisfied pout.

Gareth stood up with a sigh, patting off his trousers, "I take whatever I can get." He answered Silvia with a wink over his shoulder. "Now, let's see if we can't help tuck the shadow girl into bed, she's fought hard and I believe it to be well past her bedtime. Who knows, we might even free up the space for a bout of our own." Gareth proposed as he walked towards the flagged arena. While moving towards the circle, he waved at Artura with an attentive greeting, "Good morning, Guild Master. Could Silvia and I possibly make a bid for the next fight?" His amiable smile turned into a wolfish grin at the thought of imminent fighting, Gareth's canines bared.

Sorry for the short post; I'm tired and there wasn't a ton for Gareth to react to.

Gareth chuckled at Silvia's rhetorical inquisition, simply shrugging off the rejection to her past without pressing further. His wistful countenance aligning with the twirls of his wrist as he worked out the strain in his arm. His smile turned playful as he looked towards the sky, "I think they should be able to fight until the last straw, I think I would feel unsatisfied if a fight was prematurely decided even if it was my win. As for Artura, I think there's a reason she's our Master, my initial impression of her is that of a shrewdness that I lack." There was a moment of pause as Gareth reviewed the conversation in his mind, followed by a sudden amused laugh as he faced the fighter looking up at him, "I am also extremely excited to stretch out my muscles a little bit too."

Leaning forward so that his elbows rested on his knees, Gareth watched the fight with his chin resting on his forearms, his eyes focusing on what he could learn, specifically, Kaito's swordplay. Eventually, he spoke without turning his head towards Silvia, "If Kaito teaches me swordplay, and you teach me unarmed combat, wouldn't I just be too powerful?" The question was posed more as a joke but it almost seemed as if Gareth was genuinely worrying about it.
