[hot_handed]

I'll get straight to the point. Since a lot of you are NPCs with barely any fighting skills and I'm at the point where I might blow something up because nothing fucking happens on my patrols, I'm gonna be incredibly generous and offer hand-to-hand lessons at the Arena in the afternoons. If you really care about getting better at it, the more days ya show up, the stronger you'll get.

If you already know how to fight and wanna spar so you don't get rusty, I'll be there for that too.

[They are old...enough??? Actually no that is a very good question to ask. They are quite small and all.]

[But rather than answering, there was just a headtilt. So they're not...going to fight after all?]

[hot_handed]

[What the fuck?? Bakugou looks like he's about to yell, but he stops and pinches the bridge of his nose. They said they could fight, and he's not going to look down on them just because of their appearance, but...]

Can you understand me? Nod if you can. First thing I gotta find out is how strong you are.

[voidbug]

[The bug nods, they're listening!]

[They got a sweet looking, albeit kind of small sword though? That should be enough indicator that they knew how to fight. Or at least they thought so.]

[hot_handed]

...Tch. Come at me whenever.

[Bakugou finally gets into a fighting stance. He wants to see how well they can fight anyway, especially since they have a sword.]

[voidbug]

[Well normally when someone was waiting for the other to attack first, they were just going to counter back, but...]

[They charged in! Briefly turning into a shadow as they dashed to Bakugou at an alarming rate. Nail out and ready to hopefully get the first slash before he had time to react.]

cw: blood

[hot_handed]

[Ah. Crap. They're fast. Bakugou tries blocking with his arm, firing off an explosion meant to stun and blind, but the slash connects with his arm, slicing through skin and drawing blood. They're fast, and small, which makes blocking them more challenging than say, someone around Bakugou's height. He tolerates the pain and uses his free hand to throw an explosion in their direction.]

It's been a weird month for me, sorry!

[voidbug]

[Almost surprised that actually worked. Many of their opponents were more reactionary than that, but perhaps it had something to do with different training and all.]

[...Actually that may be the case after all. The warm glow startled them, in more than one way. And well, even with another fast dash it wasn't quite enough to prevent the cloak getting singed a little. And stumble a bit too from the shockwave.]
