The three-way fight between Ryusuke, Galivinth, and Joscene escalates to a point where the three are indiscriminately attacking one another, even if it means briefly teaming up with one to overwhelm the third. However, none of them go down just yet. Something Galivinth wants to change immediately, and he aims to do so by finally using his cryonean magic for an edge. He's a little out of practice, but all it takes is recalling all the magic training from before to get back into the basics.
An over the shoulder throw from Joscene sends Galivinth a fair distance away, but it's within his favor. While the other two return to exchange blows, the half-cryonean manages to land on his feet cleanly and focus while away from the action. He inhales a deep breath while spreading each of his fingers, then exhales a heavy breath. Yvetal's , the cryonean Goddess of Magic & sorcery, gift of magic energy begins to accumulate within both of Galivinth's palms, building until bowling ball size spheres of faintly yellowish white form within them. The spheres then sink into his flesh, changing into vigorous electricity that harmlessly buzz around the half-cryonean's arms. From his fingertips and up to just below his biceps. He clenches his hands into fists and charges into the mix again, running nearly at full speed before kicking off the ground, lunging at the two. His first target happens to be Ryusuke, of whom he draws back his right fist for with every intention of hitting as hard as he can. Though, it wouldn't be that easy. Despite only recently getting space between himself and Joscene, Ryusuke's senses are still sharp enough to pick up on Galivinth's approaching presence. The Floto Karate student catches that incoming fist within his left hand, then reaches out to grab at Galivinth's shirt with his right. Even so, this works in the half-cryonean's favor. With his fist within Ryusuke's palm, Galivinth discharges his first spell before he can be thrown again.
"Ligh-to!" The student of Tiger style Kung Fu exclaims and sends the weakest form of lightning magic through his opponent's body, visibly shocking and rendering him into a daze. Ryusuke's eyes go wide as he struggles to keep his balance. Meanwhile, Galivinth lands on solid ground again and takes full advantage of the moment. Striding forward with a slight crouch to land an upward palm strike to Ryusuke's chin, the impact giving off that familiar flash of white light. Then follows up with a barrage of pokes with both pairs of his point & middle fingers, and those too give off that same flash. In a quick moment, Ryusuke's soul essence output drops from times-3 to times-2.1, and then further down to 1.7 when Galivinth ends his combination attack with a lancing punch to the abdomen he delivers with a striding stomp forward. The impact knocks the taller male off his bare feet and tumbling 12 feet away, where he lays softly panting.
"Guh... What... what a technique...!" Ryusuke comments with a grin before shutting his eyes.
"Haha... okay... I think I've had my fill for the day. I concede." He adds, verbally tapping out of the unorthodox brawl.
"You fought well, man. I had fun getting to know you through the way you wield and throw your strong fists." Galivinth praises with a genuine smile on his face.
"Likewise, my friend." Ryusuke huffs out while giving the half-cryonean a thumbs-up. It's then slow applauding fills the air, which comes from none other than Joscene herself.
"Oh, bravo, bravo. Such a display! When were you going to tell me that you're a P.I, too?" She questions and places her hands upon her hips.
"I'm not one." Galivinth simply responds as he turns to face her.
"Come off it now... What, are you an experiment, then?" She prods.
"No. I'm not that either. I'm... normal. Normal as I can be considering I'm only half human." Galivinth explains.
"Half human? You're just full of surprises, aren't you? Well, tell ya what! If I beat you, you have to go on a date with me and tell me all about yourself. I wanna know why you can shoot lighting from your hands, and why your eyes look the way that they do. I wanna know about the other half of your DNA, too." Joscene declares with an almost warm smile. In turn, Galivinth arches a brow.
