The New Winds

Please conduct your match here

Before entering the ring, Kokyou removes his upper kimono showing his muscled up torso, then folds it neatly to place at the bench. The same is done with his hakama as he wears his sumai fundoshi.

He takes a step up to the rings and prepares himself to meet his opponent. A bull of a Unicorn, in fact. Glad to have been paired up with the toughest of them all, Kokyou keeps opens a good grin before beginning the ritual.

Salt is sprinkled, and he walks into the ring. As they crouch, Kokyou bows with fists on the ground and fierce blue eyes locked at his opponent before unleashing the Tsunami

Ichiro entered the ring stoic as ever he bared himself similarly revealing his muscular body. He grunted to Kokyou shaken slightly by nerves but he wouldn't show it and his performance didn't either as he rushed the Mantis.

D2 sumai round 1 damage: 5d10o10k1 1 keeping low

Kokyou notices that Ichiro shook a bit, but wasn't expecting it to be a source of strength hidden within. With low chances to block the earthquake, as water, the Mantis receives the hit in equal measure to gauge his next move.

Then, widening his eyes and popping muscles that people perhaps never saw before, Kokyou uses all his might to try push the mountain of the Moto a step back.

Pausing because Kokyou gets to inflict damage but Ichiro retakes initiative round 3

Ichiro was strong and a good wrestler but he just might have met his match. At least this day.
----------------------------
d2 sumai round 5 jui/str fr for +5: 10d10k5+5 43

With a last –– and depleting –– push, Kokyou makes Ichiro's ankle touch the border of the ring just enough.

Total
+22 TP

Ichiro frowns before bowing to Kokyou "You may dance around singing your own praises but at least you can back up your words Kokyou-san." Ichiro gave the Mantis a deep bow with grudging respect.

Later after match Ichiro took a moment alone reconciling his feelings of disappointment and inadequacy at failing. But he calmed his mind and found his center. He had performed well and had one thing gone differently he may have won. He just had to work harder.

+9 topaz points total

Kokyou bows as soon as Ichiro bows to him, nearly shouting, "Thank you very much for the lesson! Moto-san!"

He keeps the bow steady and low until the Moto is out of sight, failing to concentrate at his next task due the noise and excitement of the match.
