"Very well-eth. Let's see what you can do-eth." The man says, shedding his jacket.
"If you insist..." Karma breathes out, his eyes narrowing. They stare each other down in a deafening silence before Karma makes his move, swinging the potted plant at the man. He catches it effortlessly in one hand.
"Too soft-eth. You'll have to find-eth a better weapon." The man says, tightening his grip on the trunk of the small tree, crushing through it.
"Don't need one." Karma says, dropping the other half of the poor plant by his side. The man scowls and lunges forward, punches flying at Karma. My classmate focuses on dodging an blocking, not being able to get another hit in with his opponents skill level. I know we aren't close or anything, but I would prefer to not see you die, especially since we also need to save our other classmates. The two dart around so fast I can hardly perceive what they're actually doing besides trying to get the upper hand.
"Wow..." Kayano mumbles. "He's dodging or blocking every blow!"
"That's your defense technique, right, Mr.Karasuma?" Korosensei points out. Now that he mentions it, it does look familiar. I don't ever remember learning it, though. Suddenly, the man stops, glaring at Karma.
"What's wrong-eth?" He asks, straightening up. "You'll never get past me if you don't attack-eth!"
"You think?" Karma asks with a cocky smile. "I mean, I could be doing my best to distract you while the rest of us slip past, a few at a time." The man tenses. "But relax." Karma reassures him. "No underhanded shenanigans here. Now... it's my turn. Barehanded, like you. We'll settle this fair and square, man to man." Karma says, cracking his knuckles. That's hard to believe, coming from you. But I get it, this is your character development scene.
"I like-eth that face of yours, young warrior." The man says. "With you, I've got a chance—a chance to have-eth the kind of fair fight I can't experience in the world of assassins." He says, getting into a fighting stance. Karma aims a kick at him, and this time their battle seems more even, both of them trying to hit the other instead of one just dodging.
Not too far in, Karma finds an opening and knees the man in the thigh. The man stumbles to the ground, turning and exposing his back to Karma. Karma smiles and moves in to seize his chance, but the man holds up a canister of gas like the ones the other guy used earlier. Karma is caught directly in its path, slumping to the ground. The man catches him by his hair.
"It's over-eth." He says, dropping the device onto the ground with a clatter. That's not fair! You can't expect any more from a professional assassin though, can you... "I'm not fond-eth of drawn out fights. So I thought I'd give-eth Smog's paralyzing gas a try."
"That's dirty!" Yoshida shouts. "Ain't nothin' fair about sneakin' that into the fight!"
"I never said that I only fight-eth bare-handed." The man replies, adjusting his grip on Karma's head and pulling him up into the air. "One mustn't get-eth too particular about one's hangups. That's another key to sticking around-eth in this business. A spray of gas at point-blank range-eth... You'll never defend-eth against it if you doubt see it com—" As if to confirm his words, a plume of the gas is shot directly into his face. The culprit? Karma, of course. The man coughs, lowering Karma to the ground.
