Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kawaii will duck his head under the hook of the punch, while at the same time, slashing his keyblade for the right abdominal of Genshin as he dashes pasts Genshin's right, moving his right hand into an underhand position and his left into a overhand to allow the blade to move with the teen's motion and momentum. He was basically attempting to run past Genshin while giving him a very bad scratch while at it. His choice of position was also to avoid Fury in Genshin's left hand, as he still had it in his possession.

But in order to use full reach, one will have to have his or her arm out in full length and at a straight angle toward the designated target. For Genshin to have used this stab right during the punch, it would mean bending his left arm, halving his arm's total length, making it five feet. However, it was still possible at an angle toward the ground, so it was true with the length advantage. But it was Kawaii's movement that did give him the advantage to react, having him roll to the left, right after the clash, and during the attack of this shadow conjuration. Kawaii's evasion has him gain seven feet from Genshin as he faces Genshin, afterwards, only to spin his weapon and point it toward Genshin, flames swirling around his blade once more. It was time for him to take another "shot" at slowing his opponent down. But his left hand moves behind his back, out of view of Genshin, as static electricity gathers around the out of view glove.

But Kawaii was now wondering why the heck was a "P" next to Genshin's stationary blade? He was curious about that weapon so far, and now with that happening, he could only wonder what that item was going to do if it finally decides to act.

Kawaii sees Genshin sheath his blade, now wondering what else this mysterious guy was up to, but Kawaii did not let down his guard.

"P, is for pleasure," his opponent says. "For what I'm about to have in fighting you. Let's take this to the next level, and be careful... What you see... isn't what you get."

"Isn't what I get," Kawaii's thinks. It was possible that this guy was going to perform some type of illusionary move next, so Kawaii would have to keep his eyes open, but his heart intact, meaning Kawaii would have to trust in it and his keyblade if he wanted to survive now. If the guy has been merely playing, then Kawaii would also need to up his game.

The appearance of two shadow arms has Kawaii increase in wonder of what was happening. It was when the palm of one of them point toward him, having him step back a bit, as if expecting an attack. But Kawaii would not allow this guy to scare him. Heck, no one has ever did. Gaining courage, his left hand squeezes into a fist, the little electrical activity increasing a bit. It was time to take action. Kawaii moves his flaming keyblade to the side as he dashes to the right, performing a circular strafe on Genshin as his opponent is suddenly consumed in his own shadows. What was he doing, Kawaii did not know, nor care. He needed to take this guy down one way or another.

What catches his eye, however, was the beam of energy that fires from the down blade PAIN and strikes into Genshin, causing an explosion that has Kawaii roll away another five feet, stopping to look back toward smoke and now laughter, which was coming from above. The guy had seemingly leaped into the air and was now coming down toward Kawaii...and fast!! Kawaii instantly reacts by striking his flaming blade into the sand in front of him and leaping back, his left hand now lit with electrical energy, leaving his weapon in the ground.

When the shadows suddenly appear around him, a slight light comes from Kawaii as a quick evasion through a narrow opening happens for the kid, escaping entrapment. At the same time, his keyblade releases the charging magical energies of its flames, creating a large fiery explosion within the shadow caging itself. This causes the keyblade to launch directly into the air while sending great amounts of sand upward. With the speed Genshin was falling, the grains will shower the man as they rose high into the air like a tidal wave, likely blinding him visually. Whether Genshin would impact or not, the lightning bolt from the laughing man would easily miss its target due to Kawaii's evasion.

But Kawaii would have his own left palm go forward and the electricity around it will cease. Twenty five in the air was Kawaii's airborne keyblade, which would now point its tip toward the ground. The thing was, his weapon was having electrical activity, and it wasn't until a second later that it releases multiple thunder bolts down toward the ground at the same time.

However, the keyblade was positioned between two important points: the "destruction" happening due to Genshin's downward attack and the smoke that was caused where he was before. Both points would be struck by this thundery chaos because in truth, if Genshin was right, then he may have never left his initial position at all. And at the same time, maybe he did, so there was only one way to be sure: attack both positions. He trusted this, and knew his keyblade did, as well.

If Genshin was hit at all, he will suffer severe burns to his body and maybe damage to the nerves. But knowing this guy, probably electrifying him would not slow him down that easily. However, a few good jolts could have anyone feeling true "pain."

Kawaii's keyblade will disappear thereafter and reappear back in his right hand, which he takes vigilantly back into a ready stance again. It was when Genshin offers to have this all be determined by a hand to hand combat that Kawaii would raise an eyebrow in question, seeing the blades removes themselves from the back of his opponent, only to reappear on the wall. He looked to them before returning his attention to Genshin. A hand to hand fight? Well, it was obvious that this needed to be settled in another form. If they kept going at one another all day, they will remain at a standstill, unless one of them slipped up.

Kawaii spins his keyblade and thrusts it into the ground, causing the sand to spread out over the top a bit. But underneath, the tip had struck stone, and the keyblade will start to glow. "Alright. I accept." With that, he starts to walk toward Genshin, hoping to be allowed at least ten feet within range. After that, he would move his right foot back some, spreading his feet a bit, while putting up his fists. The ground will begin to slightly rumble as he stood there with a smile on his face before charging at Genshin. The quake was a signal that something was going to happen in a few moments to add another element to this fight.

Genshin stands there in his readied stance awaiting his opponent. His right fist showing in an upward fashion at an angle slightly beyond that of perpendicular to his facial expression of a merciless grin.

His left hand rises upward in the air having the cheering crowd to go into silence. Apparently, Genshin is waiting for an answer from his opponent.

Genshin is rather furious at the notion that apparently the agreement has been broken by his opponent. A simple statement would have been sufficed to have for him to realize that it'll be an all out battle. Truly, this is a mistake upon Kawaii's part.

But apparently, Kawaii fell for the trick that Genshin has given. With a smirk, the right hand didn't go directly towards Kawaii's chest, but directly towards the face when Kawaii tries to get under his arm that barely flenched in movement. It's a feint motion after all, thus it has for Genshin to catch Kawaii off guard at this point, his hand opens palm to catch Kawaii's face to send him back towards in front of himself nulling the movement that could have happened, but didn't.

He raises his left arm to send another punch directly towards the gut of Kawaii in a combo-esque fashion with chains quickly into a raising knee to the face due to the clenching position that has occured. Genshin merely wonders what type of fact Kawaii will be in now.
