Ah shit~ Even trapping him ain't it? This is gonna get difficult for her.

The very moment she heard him shout a move, Shou didn't hesitate to quickly take a leap backwards away from him as he blew the whole damn hole up before she herself would get blown away alongside with the debris with that amount of force if she didn't react in time. Seriously, this is sparring? Fun as it is, her ability to improvise solutions on the spot was being put challenge against an opponent that far outclass her on everything.

Still, there isn't a time for her to catch a break. There wasn't many options on her to use her power to properly guard herself and her first instinct was to put both her arms up in front to guard herself to take his attack head on and get blasted right off of the ground she stood on. She wasn't sure how much force he puts behind his attack but her body was just above average for a human, leaving some bruises on her arms she guarded herself with.

Waving her arms as if she was trying to 'shake off' the pain, Shou was just giggling with a smile on her face without saying a word.

It was her turn to respond in kind.

"MUDA!"

Slamming both her palms against the ground - instead of a hole, this time she sold off a large patch of land underneath Kenichi, a good 100 meters around him. In exchange for that land, while not worth much, it was enough to get herself a pretty weak ability to manipulate wind but firepower didn't matter to her that much.

Instead, she used wind to propel herself forward like a rocket to quickly close the distance between herself and Kenichi.

"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!!!`"

Swinging punches after punches with force of a hammer at rapid succession, each with mini-blasts of wind behind it to speed up her fists and make up her lack of strength to try and deal 'something' against him.

What's up (Shou/Kenichi) - Page 3 ASSp7Iq

KENICHI MURATA | Rising Dragon

Kenichi truly couldn't understand where uselessness factored into Fu Shou's exchange ability. The phenomenal showcase of a performance unfolding before his very eyes spoke to a potential that was difficult to ignore, far from the dismissible light Shou had painted it in so far. His intent wasn't to strike her with the absolute extent of his force, but her ability to remain upright despite even half of that was something that deserved praise. As she is sent back a few meters by his attack, Kenichi is darting toward her in hot pursuit of his opponent.

Like a racecar running at full ignition, he's already soaring in prepared to strike at her again---only to gleam another use of her ability manifested to defend against him. Exchanging a piece of the land in return for a momentary boon granted by the wind? Hahaha! How exciting! The moment they connect, she's assaulting his eardrums with an endearing wave of Muda. Ever the showman himself, it is his duty to respond to her Jojoism in kind.

"ORA!"

His fist enter into a fierce rhythm with her own, each hit being met with equal resistance as Kenichi strikes against the miniscule blasts of wind that momentarily shroud her fists. To add to the spectacle, the fiery martial artist instantly decides to employ his own ability - Goshoku Ryuuken!

"Shouryuu Ken!"

Now, clearly, given the context of their parody-filled clash, it was easy to take this as a sign of Kenichi going off-script by including Street Fighter in the mix, but if Shou ventured to focus with her eyes, she would see azure wisps of electrified reiryoku billowing around his fists. Each swing of his arms now carried with it an electrical discharge, and Kenichi was executing a myriad of blows to match his enemy stand user!

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!!!"

Hahahahaha! Shou couldn't stop herself just grinning ear-to-ear and laughing joyfully in the midst of trading blows with him, finding this situation a lot more entertaining than she had anticipated. She thought she was gonna get one-sidedly pummeled but they were both just responding to each other's antics at this point in the fight - and this is what life is supposed to be: fun!

Still, there is something she can't ignore. Hearing him shouting a street fighter-esque move and see his fists shrouded in electricity? It was gonna be a tough one. Shou is still able to keep trading blows with him when it comes to raw speed but it was starting to take a toll on her as now, each time their fists clashed, she was able to clearly feel the shock just stacking up, numbing her body and slowing her down. If she keeps this up, she'll just drop down by paralysis. After all, her buying power doesn't grant her any sort of elemental resistance.

Gritting her teeth with a smile, there was only one thing she can do in this.. pinch.

"Excuse my rudeness!"

Suddenly halting her punches, she immediately took a step forward to a point-blank distance between herself and Kenichi to catch him off-guard and hopefully surprise him, both in distance and sudden stop in trading blows. From here? Shou took a leap upwards and headbutt him right in the chin in an attempt to throw his balance off.

"Hadouken!"

Going off-script herself to street fighter as well just to amuse him, while Shou has no way of manifesting her own spiritual energy to do the actual hadouken, at least she's got a knockoff version. Thrusting her palms forward into his stomach, she musters the little wind power she had left to slam right in, blow him off the ground and send him crashing into a few trees.

Seriously, sparring is one hell of a workout. She was starting to work up quite a lot of sweat, panting and arms shaking from the shock of Kenichi's punches but heck, this isn't going to stop her from continuing to have fun.

Standing upright and tilting her non-existent cap, she would look towards the direction where Kenichi is and spoke a sentence.

"Yare yare daze."

KENICHI MURATA | Rising Dragon

The next sequence of attacks, even for a studious warrior like Kenichi, was far from expected. Unpredictable yet incredibly entertaining! The headbutt didn't particularly affect him all that much, but it served as a fine minor distraction that left him defenseless for the palm strike infused with the element of wind as a boon, sending the man flying through the forest, creating a minute distance between them. Kenichi could hardly contain his mirth as he tapped at his firm musculature with his hands, chuckling heartily in response to her smooth Jotaro sequence.

All things considered, it was pretty damn cool. The adorable sequence was honestly cool enough that it justified Kenichi desiring to give her the win... at least in the Jojoism department! Yes, yes! He could definitely tell he was going to enjoy being in this woman's company. Dusting himself off a bit, Kenichi strode forward, leaning down to offer his hand so they could slap it together in celebration. Far as he was concerned, there was potential in her ability. If it took several battles to draw that out, he had no complaints whatsoever.

"Alright, we can call it here for a minute after that. That was too cool, Fu. Hadouken headbutt and finishing it off with a Jotaro sequence! Tres Bien~! Tres Bien~!"

Offering his best Polnareff expression, Kenichi awaited the woman's answer with a wide grin curved across his lips. Rita sure did know to pick em'.

Phew.. That seems about it?

Shou was about to brace herself for Kenichi's counterattacks but the sparring seems to end here for now? Well, she won't hesitate to take this break as a W on her part even though she knows full well that she'd turn to mush if he really had been a quarter serious in the spar.

Winning or losing aside, it has been awhile since she had a lot of fun and this! This is seriously fun indeed. Not solely just from sparring itself but its like meeting a kindred spirit who just shares the same sense of humor, gets the same, dumb reference and knows how to have fun. What do they call that nowadays? Trying to recall what term was being used.. ah, yes! A "homie", that's what they call them!

When he offered his hand? Shou didn't hesitate to give it a good slap at it as she laughed heartily in joy, giving him a peace sign afterwards.

"You were hella cool too! Those punches! Those jojo follow-ups! I can tell you're gonna be one heck of a fun dude to hang out with!"

After that, Shou plopped right against the ground on her back. Exercising and a sparring no less, was something she rarely ever does and her body gave out once it relaxed. She was tired but still, she couldn't stop herself from laughing a little more before she continued.

"I'm glad I met Rita, and end up meeting someone as interesting as you."

KENICHI MURATA | Rising Dragon

"Thank you, thank you. I do try my best. You were pretty cool yourself, Fu! I mean, did you see your Jotaro pose at the end after that cool attack? I conceded defeat right then and there. It is truly a joy to find those with a likeminded flare for dramatics like me."

Chuckling heartily, Kenichi would sit down beside the woman as she plopped onto the ground in exhaustion. While it was true that he could have continued their bout, Kenichi wasn't aiming to push her any harder than necessary. Since she would be working alongside him under Rita along with Vanyel and whoever else decided to join her. Honestly? He was looking forward to what the future had in store.

"Likewise, Fu. Here's to hoping we can have many more fights like this in the future. Rest assure, I won't let you think that ability of yours is a sham at all."

"Hahahaha! There's no need for flattery here! You could've easily whooped my ass if you wanted to!"

Laughing away with her back laid against the ground, it is true that if Kenichi gets a tad bit serious, she wouldn't be able to stand her ground at all. Though, thanks to the sparring, she did gain some insights to her own abilities and.. a lot of limiting factors to it especially when she ran out of money to spend. It relied a lot on luck, creativity and the environment around her to 'spend' so her mindset remained the same about how heckin' useless it is.

Still, she'd like to see him try to convince her otherwise.

"Well, I look forward to your future attempts to make me think about my ability differently."

Looking at him with a mischevious expression, she continued on as she waved him off as if gesturing him to go ahead first.

"You can head back first and do your business. I am having cramps all over."

For someone who barely worked out at all and only good with running away, moving her body and using her abilities in ways she has never done before, it was taking a big toll.

And this sounds like its gonna be a common occurrence in the future too.

Wah~
