Natrelmon: Legends

"Done." Kasumi called out, recalling her Mythin as she did so and stepping out of the mist that she had created before it dissipated behind her. The two were obviously experienced in combat - and they both recognised when something stopped being worth the time it took. Their battle was one such occurrence. It was a learning experience for both themselves and their Natrelmon, however, and it could potentially lay the foundations for a strong (relatively speaking given how seemingly awkward the two were) relationship. Still, Kasumi was somewhat hesitant of Shio's motivations - but she did not think Shio the type to have a master plan when it came to social interaction. Still, it'd not be the first time someone had been fooled by an excellently portrayed facade, so she remained wary.

"Smart use of Restoration magic. You're better than I'd have thought from looking at you." Kasumi stated, offering the compliments in a somewhat carefree tone. As far as she was concerned, they were only observations.

Natrelmon: Legends

Without thought, as soon as Shio prepared the magic for her Word of Conviction: Blind, Kasumi used her Veil of Mists in order to lessen the impact that the spell would have on her, and used Mistwalker to teleport to the very edge of the mist, eight feet in front of her. This was a disadvantageous situation, as Kasumi had reacted to an incoming attack instantly and was momentarily stunned from the Blind. The additional Veil of Mists would be used due to Mistwalker, and Kasumi's being stood still would prevent her from being sensed by Shio or her Kujaku if it came closer. She allowed herself a second to recuperate from the blind before turning around to see where Shio was now that she'd teleported - given that she would now be in the mist, the ball was quite firmly in Kasumi's court, and she could plan an opportune moment to strike.

Mythin did what it had been told to do.

You'll not be quite as fit as Kasumi because she's a thief and trained in martial arts - she's got to be at the peak of physical fitness for her... Hobby. :D

You lived in the forest, though - you'll probably be fairly physically able. :D

Natrelmon: Legends

In a way, you're the best off for IC development because you have no set path. Most of us are very much locked into our current paths, and we can't be anything but what we are. You, however, can become whatever you want.

uh payl there's an edit function

you might wanna learn how to use it

Natrelmon: Legends

Shio's reaction speed was as impeccable as Kasumi's speed was - while that was bad for the battle, it was something definitely good to know if the two ever travelled together. Kasumi's roll would give her a brief period of grace with which to functionally avoid being blinded, but the aftereffects of the spell would still affect her - and her landing would suffer slightly for it, and she skidded a few feet past her intended destination. Using the change of posture to her advantage and recovering quickly, she sprung forwards in a low roll to avoid the knife. The conserved momentum would be sufficient enough that she'd easily leap six feet towards Shio - and in preparation for Shio casting another spell, she would use her Veil of Mists immediately upon landing, and prepared herself to cast as necessary depending on the situation.

blah blah blah mark 1s moving into sphere of mist etc. etc.

Natrelmon: Legends

As Shio started her movements, Kasumi vaulted forwards through the mist, rolling in order to cover as much distance as possible in as short a time as possible, and quickly achieved her maximum running speed as she emerged from the mist. Shio's movements would put her, as she carried along through the arc, about ten feet away from the illusory patch of mist (which was about to dissipate), and in a surprising display of agility, Kasumi rolled forwards towards Shio. Just after she begun the leap, putting her approximately seven feet away from Shio, she prepared to use her Veil of Mists in order to trap Shio and herself in the mist. She was highly aware of the entire situation, and ready to react as soon as she saw Shio even begin to make her move as soon as she saw Kasumi.

The roll that Kasumi performed was fairly low and only ever took her a foot and a half above the ground, so her final destination upon hitting the ground would be towards where she was moving along the arc - this would put her in a risky position, but as soon as Shio went to cast a spell or otherwise take an action, Kasumi would be prepared to use a Veil of Mists and Break One's Word to defend herself.

Mythin performed its obligatory moves and then moved again.

Natrelmon: Legends

1v1 is basically the only way to really do it when you're new. You don't know how a lot of things work, and the smallest possible situation will let you become acquainted with the moves and what they do, etc. etc.

Natrelmon: Legends

Due to the Kujaku's rapid acceleration, Kasumi elected to fire another Hazeborn Tears - this time directly at Shio - and followed it up with a Deceptive Bolt, also mimicking Hazeborn Tears. The orbs would be separately spaced in order to maximise the amount of mist that was on the field. The real version would be aimed directly for Shio, while the illusory version would bridge the gap between the two in order to create as large an area of mist as possible. Depending on Shio's movement, Kasumi would react in kind, potentially using the cover offered by the mists in order to become invisible to strike at her. It seemed that the battle would be decided by which trainer was forced to forfeit rather than whose Natrelmon got hit - at the lower levels of experience for Natrelmon, especially those of the Wind-type, there was very little that could be achieved. It was a much more efficient and effective strategy to go for the trainer directly until the Natrelmon got real offensive power.

Mythin would again fire three Mark Is at the Kujaku at various points along its flight path and change its location within the mists - though it was mostly for show, as the two of them knew. The Mythin would move further away from the Kujaku this time, retreating halfway into the cylinder of mist to provide itself with a better vantage point.

I'm not actually denying Payl lmfao

Also Payl Toran level cap is 20 so your Armkfish needs to backdafuqdown or I'll summon a Void Tyrant to kill you.
