Welcome to Gaia! ::

The orange eyes watch Genshin run forward. It may have been large, but it wasn't slow, yet its movements were limited in such a small place, compared to its preception. Its right hand would strike down toward Genshin from above, open palm, attempting to crush him into the sand and stone below. He wouldn't be able to cause any craters, but the landing impact would be able to cause a great wave of air to shoot out from around the impacted hand while pinning Genshin underneath, if it hit.

Although not seeable, Kawaii felt that, the impact causing spurts of shadow to fly from the spot. He retreats his right hand as his left comes from Genshin's right in an attempt to smack him to the wall in one quick wave, darkness trailing the moving hand.

The hand takes the hit, but is not cut in half, showing that the fingers, although connected, easily stood in place by the abnormal thickness of this darkness as the hand would impact into Genshin and send him to Kawaii's right, straight for the wall.

Anti-Kawaii's left hand moves quickly back as the feet of it starts to do the same, the light seeming to be more of a bother to it than anything, this manifested darkness becoming afraid, but also angered, its right hand moving to the side as a dark orb starts to form within the hand, showing a slight violet glow in the middle of it.

At the same time, a light shines in the middle of the arena, showing the appearance of Kawaii's Ultima Weapon, stabbed into the sandy ground, as if hinting to Genshin about something.

A portal would open in the middle of its chest before suddenly, Kawaii leaps out, grabbing his weapon by his right hand as the Anti Kawaii starts to disappear into the air, as if it was evaporating. The kid somersaults forward until he lands onto the ground, his left hand touching the ground before he raises his head and stands slowly back to his feet, his left hand now coming to his head as he shakes it. He looks toward Genshin and smiles a bit.

"Thanks. I needed that. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."

He sits onto the ground as his right hand stabs the keyblade into it, his face putting on a questioning look, shaking his head.

"I came here to test my strength. That is my only purpose in this tournament. I don't want to hurt anyone, unless it is someone who has hurt me or someone close to me. You're just an opponent who wishes to advance through this tournament, just like I. And the only way to defeat you is by death or submission, or ring out. But we both know we will go to great lengths before giving up, and ring outs are nearly impossible since we are careful. So the last thing is death, something I am not a fan of. So..."

He stands back to his feet.

Kawaii looks at Genshin as he spoke and then closes his eyes before reopening them, nodding, a smile coming to his face. He spreads his arms to the side as a sudden glow flashes outward, enveloping his being. When it disappears, Kawaii would now be in a yellow colored attire, his right hand gripping Ultima Weapon as his left gripped Oblivion once more, however, his left hand was glowing as both keyblades crackled with mystic energy. Kawaii crosses both keyblades in front of him as he bends his knees, his eyes reclosing. He was now meditating on his own strength, continuing to remind himself to trust in his heart. It was one of the reasons why he went Anti Kawaii, trusting in power rather than what his heart was telling him. And now, it was time to make up to himself and fight this battle like he should.

When his eyes reopen, he dashes at Genshin, his speed even quicker than before, kicking up sand behind him as he approaches, his left arm back, positioning Oblivion more behind and his right hand forward, Ultima Weapon across his front. And on his face was a confident smile. If Genshin wanted his best, he gave it to him: Master Form.

Kawaii raises Ultima Weapon higher in altitude, causing the kick to impact into the side of the blade, the flat side angled directly toward Genshin to have the sole of Genshin's feet place against the level of his blade nicely. That way, he could place a balanced standstill between both of them, yet Genshin could easily bend his leg to remove his foot.

Kawaii feels the shockwave against his blade, sending a force down his right arm that wasn't very pleasant, but at this stage, he didn't take it as something that was considerably painful. When Genshin moves his body again to send his other leg in the direction, Kawaii will move his blade in a wheel like fashion to his right side, with the blade still fixed in its current positon in Kawaii's hand to just slide the blade away as Genshin's foot tries to slide up it. The left leg of Genshin would be left with nothing to grip, which can result in an easy off balance fall. To Kawaii, the incoming kick needed to be blocked, even though it wasn't close enough to hurt him, Oblivion now moving around to have the left foot instead just hit into the flat side of the black spiky keyblade, Kawaii's left hand right in front of himself while he had Oblivion held in that its tip was pointing to the left and angled toward the ground, likely at a fourty five degree angle, much like he was holding a dagger in a backhand grip. Since this was a force to go against the kick's direction rather than trying to deflect it away, Genshin would probably just fall back a bit from having lost balance.
