-OOC: closed between me and Tr"Ace" Kazuha aka Trace Kazuha, you can read along if you like but no other posts in here plz-
Masaru was patiently doing his daily ritual of meditation while thinking over strategems and quotes as usual, but this time in a new environment. Instead of purposely chosing a place that is loud at random times to challenge himself, this time he picked a nice quiet place under a tree in one of the seemingly empty places on school grounds.
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.
Masaru continued to meditate, increasing the strategem amount while coming up with new strategems for everyday life, without battles... Eventually Masaru became ultimately unaware of his surroundings as he was submerged in peace and tranquility...

As the man went through the strategems, slowly a figure loomed overhead of the man, and with this, two green eyes watched below towards him, he chuckled. "Look at this, meditating in the middle of the afternoon, is a good thing, I think I'll join you." He said quietly as he sat next towards the man, and quietly began to meditate as well.
As he found his center and crossed both his legs, he looked towards the man once more and slightly smirked. "Your quiet, too quiet, are you gonna do something?" He said in a hum of his own voice silently sighing softly looking forward. "Hm." |

"Your quiet, too quiet, are you gonna do something?"
Masaru heard these words as he was along the borderline of consiousness...
"Hmm? oh what the!"
Masaru fell backwards, just noticing a young, spikey haired guy sitting right next to him.
"Sorry, didn't notice you there, must have dozed off. Meditating is a good thing to keep a mind clear of bad thoughts, but if you meditate too long you may find yourself waking up hours later not remembering when you fell asleep!"

He sighed and rubbed the back of his head, he then made his way, getting up, with a slow glance, he then gasped and stretched. "Look, if you do that, someone will attack you, in that state you can't sense danger in any way." He said as he watched him.
"You would be placed out of commision, and inwards to death, or near death." He said as he watched the boy, this time quietly. This guy isn't really to conscious of his actions, hm? |

"You would be placed out of commision, and inwards to death, or near death."
Masaru wondered who or what it was that made this man untrusting of other people, but then again everyone could be like that. Masaru was brought up by his parents to respect peace and only use his martial arts in defence. Masaru himself was sheltered and protected as a kid so he does not know why anyone would just randomly attack someone who is defenceless.
"Why would we have to worry about people attacking someone defenceless, its dishonorable to attack someone who isn't ready to defend themselves. Though some people may have to worry about that, I try to turn possible enemies to friends as soon as I can."

"I see, you are rich, you obviously aren't much of a fighter and have lived a life of guidance and un-exact truth." He said as he rubbed his hair, and then as he watched him his eyes arose slowly. "People here will do what you call, dishonor, no one truthfully cares for honor here, no matter what.
" He said slowing his hand towards the boys head. "You must be a fresh, freshman, so stick with me for a while and you will see what I mean."
He said as he rubbed his head and chuckled. "This will be so fun, I must admit." He said as he watched the man. "What is your name?" He said calmly. |

-OOC: brb family dragging me to the beach... for the fourth time this week. may be a while back-
"You must be a fresh, freshman, so stick with me for a while and you will see what I mean."
'this might be an interesting way to separate the 'un-exact' truth from the 'real' truths which this guy was talking about' Masaru thought to himself.
Look for people to fill your voids of knowledge, rely on them but do not become captive to them.
Masaru now knew the meaning of this strategem his tutor taught him, or so he thought. Either, as Masaru's 'en-exact' truths leed him to believe, this guy talking to him is trying to help him with no strings attached, but if he is already ruled by his distrust in society, he may have some ulterior motive.
"Masaru, nice to meet you."
Masaru stretches out his hand towards his new found friend(?), and waits for him to say his name, and shake his hand, completing this American custom his tutor taught him about.

"Ok then." He said as he began to walk straight and then placed his hands within his pockets. "Now that we have met, we must see what your skills are, and what you must excell in." He said as he slowly went forth and stopped, turning as he sighed. "Spar with me." He said with a smirk. |

"Spar with me."
'Well, that wasn't polite,' Masaru thought to himself
"Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays, so I will not just sit here wondering why you would randomly wish to spar with me and accept your challenge."
Masaru walked up to face the rude fellow, waiting for him to make the first move. 'I am not very strong, but I have excelled at counters and parrying attacks, using the opponents strength and momentum against him. As a master of Musabetsu Kakutô Ryû, or Anything goes martial arts, Masaru has learned to counter countless different styles, down to the most dishonorable attacks, so Masaru was confident that he would be able to atleast challenge his opponent.

Kuzai leaped within the air and quickly spun towards Masura with a kick, and with this, moved his body and planted himself on the ground, he then came towards Masura with his fist. Leaping forward, quickly, he attacked with a barrage of fist attacks and with a leap in the air, he flipped in the air, and then utilized a strong kick forward. His eyes were then open towards him as he watched Masura. |

Geez, Agressive, much? Since he didn't give Masaru a name, Masaru just decided to call him 'Steve'. Masaru was slightly shocked by how soon Steve applied a combination of attacks and didn't so much as start out slowly. Talk about unneccesary haste in battle. Luckily, Masaru was ready, and faster. Masaru easily ducked the jump kick, followed by blocking the fist attacks with open palms and twisting his arm around that guys to alter the path, even so, some of the punches went through his defences and landed, but Masaru had a lot of endurance and they were weakened by how much he blocked in the first place.
As Steve flew towads him yet again with a jump kick, Masaru decided to do the offencive by running under him and doing an upper cut.

Kuzai then sighed as he was hit by the attack, though it literally was as if the attack was from a child. "You know I expected more from someone so quick." He said as he then leaped backwards and watched the boy, smirking. "That had absolutely no bite to it." He said as he watched him. |

"That had absolutely no bite to it."
Masaru let out a long, drawn out sigh... It was true he had absolutly below average strength, that was one main reason he never got into fights, but since he is fast and has alot of endurance, if he had to, he usually could tire out the opponent by continuously parrying his attacks.
"Yeah, that is true, 'Steve', thats why usually I'm not the fighting type, but, since my parents were and still are obsessed with attempting to start world peace, it works out for me. You still haven't told me your name, Steve."

Kuzai quickly ran forward, and with a simple glance he then with a leap within the air, he flipped backwards and then appeared quickly behind him, though not at such an extreme speed. He quickly went forward now and then with his fist closed he went forward towards the boy, Masaru and grinned. "Ace." |

"Ace."
An interesting name, with a flashy delivery. 'What an interesting fellow', Masaru thought to himself. Maybe it would be fun to hang out with him sometimes, though judging from his personality, this Ace would probably be in fights fairly often.
"nice to meet you Ace."
