It was really starting to get close. Kogami was at least glad he was able to give himself some breathing room. But again, he had to give these two some credit for forcing him to use a more advanced technique, though it was hampered by his promise to go easy and his knee injury. His degree of movement was going to be hampered, Kogami was pretty sure about that. Though his speed wasn't going to go down as much. He easily noticed Asher was trying to heal Shaw, in order to keep him in the fight. And that was fine, but to use a healing technique, which normally takes so much time to pull off for even the best Ki Arts healers in the midst of battle? Kogami wasn't so kind that he would utilize this opening for his own benefit. So he made his move forward and conveniently the dragonkin was performing a kick in the air just as Kogami moved. Asher's speed wasn't bad, but that still left him vulnerable. Of course, Shaw was coming to the left to keep attacking his legs and to directly attack his right calf. A bit late at this point, when he really should've done it a long time ago. "Let's wrap this up." While noticing Asher's trajectory, he simply dashed to the dragonkin's right side where his kicking was done with his right leg as he evaded with more precise dodging with his head bobbed down and up once to avoid the blow. Thus, Kogami was able to both make use of a blind spot given to him while still evading Shaw's slash as he dodged the kick and continued to move forward. It hurt his damaged knee, but his own sense of timing was still able to allow him to pull through. Before Kogami completely passed Asher, his right palm slapped straight into Asher's face and smashed him down headfirst into the ground. The momentum of his kick would leave him little options to retaliate, especially when he was in the air. If this was successful, he probably was going to be knocked out or at least staggered by the combination of his own weight and Kogami's blow. Whether or not he was successful, he simply backed off afterwards at about three meters for now while keeping an eye at both of his opponents that would be in front of him as he quickly turned towards them. Kogami wasn't going to allow them to get the drop on him.

It was all looking good. Asher had a good kick lined up when He would suddenly. Would be slammed downwards with kogami's palm in his face. This was it. There was almost no fight left in Asher at that moment. However Asher was defiant to the end. As he'd conveniently activate his scalar blades, but on his face as a sudden Prick that would stab Out and then back in. Kogami given the force he had just pressed onto Asher's face in order to slam him. Would also be pressing his hand into the equivalent of dozens of needles. Albeit they were very small and would sting . They'd retract quickly as Asher would collide with the ground. Pain surged through his body. This was it. There wasn't much else he could afford to do. His entire back stung like hell and was pretty fucked up at this point. His body was Ailing and his Ki was running out. Shaw had nearly went down under as well. Perhaps this was their limit for two novices. Ah shit Heh.Asher would say nearly lieing flat back. Clearly damaged. It wasn't going to be easy getting up. Alright alright Kogami. I'm done for, And from the looks of it my partner over here seems that way too almost. Asher would say attempting to stand up, albeit staggering like hell and clearly injured. His head hurt and he couldn't do much complex thinking right now either. That was one hell of a fight. Damn. As Asher would now heal himself frankly. To at least relieve some of this. Stats OD:3/20 Strength:E Agility:E++(Turn 5/5) Endurance:D Damage:Entire back side of Dense scales is Utterly Fucked up. Body is damaged practically all over. Head is like a migraine nearly.

Shaw realized that they have definitely gone a long way with this bout and sheathed his weapon. After that Shaw would make a sharp bow to Kogami. “We resign, the gap is apparent, we honestly have a long way to go. Thank you for taking the time to spar with us. “With that being said, Shaw helped Asher up and asked him about his wellbeing. “Are you alright, can you stand at least?” Whenever Shaw got his answer or not, his mind was fully set on training now. He was also aware of his limitations, Shaw was almost afraid of being parted with his katana.

It really stung a lot when he slapped into Asher's face with that palm strike. Kogami hissed through his teeth at the sudden stabbing sensation and it was throbbing as the blood started to seep through the small wounds on his palm. Regardless, he was able to make some distance and actually had expected the two kids to keep going... until they decided to throw in the towel. "Huh, really? Well, good job. I really underestimated you two." He sighed and looked back at his hand. What was that really? The Ki Artist didn't actually feel any Ki from anything that would've caused that pain. Sure, there was some flows going on, which probably was some form of physical reinforcement. Not exactly rare, but uncommon nevertheless. Yet, Kogami didn't actually feel any noticeable spikes in his Ki flows at the moment of pain. Come to think of it, that punch to his knee, he never felt any noticeable spikes in Asher's Ki flows either. How curious. He spoke to the both of them, "For a bunch of novices, you're not bad. I think you two will go far. By the way, what are your names again? I know you're Shaw. And yours?"The Ki Artist looked towards Asher curiously. There was a certain glint in his eye that was noticeable. He was starting to catch on about something, but he still didn't know enough. And when Asher gave his name, Kogami nodded as he experimentally gripped and flexed his bloody hand to the side as if trying to relieve the pain a bit as blood started to speck over the grass below him. "Asher. Shaw. Good. I'll remember you two. Looks like things might get a bit interesting here after all," he smirked at the two of them as he looked back into his hand and knee, "You two might get a little bit of fame from today. Savor it. And--"The abrupt noise seemed to emanate from Kogami's direction. With a sour expression and his unscathed left hand, he was able to draw his cellphone that continued to ring. "Aw shit. Dammit. Gimme a minute," he groaned upon seeing the caller ID on the LCD screen before answering it, "Hey, Vera! How-- Oh. Yeah, so I'm just chillin' out here like a balla' and... Oh. Yeah about that... No? No! Fuck! I thought I did that this mornin-- Alright, fine. I'll get there. Don't get your panties in a twist, lady... Yes, mooooom."Kogami finally hung up with a defeated expression. He looked back with a pained and sheepish facade. "Yeah. I oughta go head off somewhere. I'll see you two later. I gotta some shit fixed... and this too."He looked back at the damage to his knee and his hand. Kogami could already imagine those nasty times when he got back to the offices. A trip to the bathroom and maybe bothering some magician to do some healing would be his first priority. Better than pissing her off more with dirty carpets. He started to move to leave, but then stopped as if he remembered something. "Hey, Shaw. Was it? I'd probably look for someone to work on your style. I think I might know the guy and you probably know him. Nogami Kotaro. Boring guy, but he's good. I'd look for him if you can." With that said, he waved with his uninjured hand and left as quickly as his feet could get him.

Name: Wings of the Crane, Fangs of the Tiger Description: The primary advanced characteristics of the Tiger and Crane style. While being known for slashing people into pieces with their bare-handed attacks, it goes to a whole new level as they are capable of doing the same thing and with greater effect through a degree of manipulation of air pressure with their attacks. This also allows them other useful combat applications. Rank: C
OOC: Forgot to post this up earlier, sorry.
Ability Used: Name: Ki Sense Description: From being able to control the body's Ki, the user is now sensitive to Ki signatures around them. Through such sensitivity, the Artists can now sense people's presences by this and be able differentiate one signature against each person. The term "killing intent" comes from this as usually one's Ki rises with the intent to cause harm. All Artists have at least E rank at it and sometimes do not increase it as they are busy trying to perfect their fighting techniques. This is why some of them go to the I.A.C.S.B. for experience. Extremely high levels of this ability may even lead to a blind man being able to fight better than he could actually see if he had working eyes. Rank: C
BATTLE HAS ENDED Rewards: A D rank Improvement.

Well Shit Shaw.Asher would say looking towards Shaw now that Kogami had left and after everything he pretty much had said.That was a thing, and now we're both fucked up to some extent. Though. At the very least. Because of what I did, This won't be too bad after all.What do you say we go check out what your were going on about with that mcrib?Asher would offer towards Shaw. They might as well go get something to eat right now. That was one hell of a Training Session. Man. They both felt their mettle put to the test as they fought against a clearly superior Opponent. Asher himself could feel more renewed and with purpose from this experience. However. he clearly required more work if he was to accomplish what he had in mind right now.This Nogami guy though. I'd say he's worth checking out for you Shaw. Maybe he can teach you something. Whoever he is.
Though maybe, He'd stick with the Little steps for now. Such as all these Martial Arts.
He would begin to walk away. Indicating for Shaw to come with him. Looks like thigns were starting to pick up alright in Asher's Life.
[Exit]

Alright, Nogami Kotaro. I should take a look into meeting this guy. Thanks for training with us once again. “ Shaw would say with one final bow as he looked to Asher. “Looks like we made an impression with a member of a school that has a bit more of a political pull in the martial arts correlation. This turned out to be better than expected. “ Shaw then nodded and followed Asher. “I’ll find a way to look the man up, its obvious that I have a long way to go and a lot to improve on. But first, I did say I was buying you lunch didn’t I? I’ say that a low-calorie diet would be better to adopt, but I’d rather enjoy myself for the rest of the evening after this bout, wouldn’t you say?
