*CLANG*

(Y/n) deflects an attack, taking a deep breath to calm himself down 'He's a swordsman. Since weapons naturally have an edge over fists I'll dismantle his fighting style move by move before dismantling this scumbag.' With critical eyes (Y/n) analyzes his opponent's stance

Akio's foot shifts slightly "RAGH!" He swung his Katana at the sorcerer yet his Katana met air 'He's good at dodging. Could he be weak physically? Must be why he's avoiding confrontation.' 

(Y/n) watches as Akio draws his foot back, slowly repositioning himself 'Yemon brothers? I must've skipped the part in my books mentioning them. If they're curse users then they must be strong to have lasted this long.'

Akio glares at the sorcerer 'I thought he'd have been more aggressive when I told him that. I don't want to use my cursed technique yet.' He attempts to strike low only for (Y/n) to lock his Katana on the ground, stepping on it lightly

*WHAM*

Seeing the opening, (Y/n) decides to strike. Landing a strong kick to Akio's face, sending the curse user skidding across the ground before returning to his defensive pose

Akio's momentum slows, leaving him to pick himself up 'What's up with that power?!' He held his left hand to his nose only for it to fill with a hot liquid 'Blood?! The little shit nearly broke my nose!'

Abandoning his wishes to withhold from his cursed technique, wind swells around Akio forming an invisible cocoon-like structure 'Wind Manipulation: Gale Armor!' He shoots forward with more than double his original speed. Slamming his Katana downwards with all his power

(Y/n)'s eyes shoot open as he barely catches the Katana with his palms 'That messed my palms up. The speed increase shocked me.' With a firm glare (Y/n) attempts to kick Akio back only to be met with resistance knocking him off balance

Acting quickly, (Y/n) rolls to the side avoiding potential death as the Katana embedded itself in the ground 'I see. This new... Armor... doesn't open up opportunities for new moves. He just enhances the speed and power of his original ones. No matter, I'll just have to put more force behind my attacks.'

(Y/n)'s eyes shot wide as a slash appeared stretching across his chest 'What the- Did the winds do this?' He ducks under a slash before throwing a punch that stops just before hitting Akio yet sends him flying back 'If Yuji were here he'd have no trouble ripping through this!'

Landing on his feet, (Y/n) slides back 'Tch, I'd use blood manipulation if I could deal with whatever comes after this.'

Akio appears in front of (Y/n) his front foot firm before he shifts his toes to the right

(Y/n) ducks under a horizontal slash, having already grown accustomed to his enemy's attack patterns 'Although it's obvious what attacks he's going to execute I'll keep his moves in mind for myself. I've gotten all I could learn from him. Time to end this.'

A dark look appears on (Y/n)'s face, his body shifting from a defensive pose to a boxing stance 'Now to dismantle him.' Seeing no reason to hold back on his opponent he rushes in, dodging another horizontal slash with ease before sending a hook punch to Akio's side followed by a quick combo of jabs shattering Akio's defenses

Akio's eyes widen in disbelief unable to do anything as (Y/n) clinches him and proceeds to release a hail of knees to his gut ending off the barrage of attacks with a front snap kick into Akio's jaw transitioning into an axe kick to the torso

The concrete shatters as Akio's body makes contact with it, bouncing him up for (Y/n) to land a full charge throat punch, crushing his windpipe followed by grabbing his arm and slamming him into the concrete again
