[Leon]

Leon watched once more as Deacon got up again. He liked it more when they got back up The guy used his metal sand as armor to blunt the blow from before, which was special in its own way. The guy was in a charge ready to blast through anything the blonde monster put in front of him, good move, ditch the safety precautions go in for the fight. Leon would catch the attack with his left hand as it rippled through his magnetic field doing damage it felt like to his whole form, physical and spiritually. It was a new pain, but not one that was overly problematic, Leon would wave his left arm outwards towards Deacon, throwing blood in his face, before stepping to the guys left side, Leon would throw a right kick upwards for Deacon's stomach. After if it worked or not Leon would step back a few paces.

"You are already almost as strong as I was when I decided to join Cabal during the war."

[Deacon Graves]

In Deacon's wake as he moved, the debris and fragments that had broke away from him had began to snake back toward it's host as he had moved to clear the distance to strike Leon. Deacon would connect, unfortunately it was with the palm of his opponent as he grabbed it. His strongest attack was brushed off and in a way, it agrivated him. He still had much to progress.

Leon swung his hand, flinging blood forward into the trainee's face, however he wouldn't blink. The blood splattered on his face just before the fragments behind him swallowed his body whole again. Once again, Leon struck. This time it came in the form of a right step and a left kick, which landed square with enough force to send Deacon reeling once again."Gaaah-!"

For the second time his armor shattered, leaving a pile of metal dust as Deacon's body bent with the blow and was thrown away again. "Ooof-" He hit the ground, fighting for the air that had been forced from his lungs. This man certainly possessed extraordinary abilities, this much he had become aware of. But he wasn't finished, not yet. In a way, he was unsure if Leon's words had been a compliment or an insult, regardless it seemed to light a fire under Deacon.

The trainee reacted as quickly as he could, sitting upright while gritting his teeth and throwing his hands forward from his sitting position. The shards of metal and debris from his armor, upon the ground in front of Leon, would jettison itself forward angled upward intent of assaulting him with a hail of jagged metal edges.

Seeing it last second he would curl his torso into his arms formed into a cross as the metal shards would fly into his skin cutting him up even worse now, this time however Leon would burst forward. Cutting straight through the hail storm of metal, pulling back a right fist as he got close enough and throwing it forward with all he had. With Deacon's armor going a different direction Leon just had to aim for a spot where it wasn't, and since Leon had destroyed it around Deacon's mid section thats where his punch was aimed. He liked Deacon, his abilities were straight forward, but versatile. He also seemed to have enough training or understanding of how to use it appropriately. Once he made Adept and joined the military outright, Cabal would be all the better for it.

[Deacon Graves]

"Shi-!" Leon had seen a weakness and he was moving in to exploit it. The majority of the sand was free from the bag and he would be unable to activate his armor this time. Leon was far too quick for him to pull it back in time. Deacon's extended hands only had time to cross before the fist connected. A sharp, stabbing pain erupted as his left forearm that took the brunt of the blow snapped.

Deacon's body bent yet again from the force behind Leon's strike and send him off his feet to land upon the ground again. Swearing through grit teeth, Deacon's mind went hazy. You could say he had blacked out. Pure instinct drove him, now as the young man found himself out there again. Surviving.

Deacon's left arm was busted, his tight arm numb and also just as useless at the moment. But he wasn't down and out. Despite using his hands often with his abilities, he didn't NEED to use them. He still had a chance to land another blow. Despite the blow, the metal sand flurry Leon had burst through, had remained hung in the air and was now forming into a jagged, yet circular mass of metal scrap.

Thrusting his head upward as he curled himself into a sitting position again, fighting pain as his arms remained limp at his sides. That metal mass would thrust toward him, from behind Leon. If it connected, it would burst into a cloud the greyish-black debris and surround them both.

Leon would be walking towards Deacon since he seemed to be a little worse for wear. Blood rolling around his flesh and dripping on the floor as he walked. He noticed the head motion and would quickly look around for more of his metal shit flying around. Sure enough one was heading right for him. Twisting around and throwing a punch for the metal ball meeting force with force for this one. Likely destroying it, or at least not being struck in the back this time. The guy had quite an ability, and could really use it effectively. He also had quite the energy reserve throwing it around so much.

[Deacon Graves]

Leon turned and punched the cluster of metal, successfully turning his attack back into debris, as the blackish cloud swallowed the both of them and rolled on past the point of contact. As it did, it would attract towards Deacon's body. He painfully adjust himself upward, bending his arms and knees as the metal club, solidifying and hardening his body one again.

Kicking off, he would thrown himself upward from his crouched position and forward, thrusting his yet unbroken right arm forward as he focused upon Leon's magnetic field and aimed a punch toward his head- The bqck of it, or the chin if he turned.

Of course Leon turned back around, and raised his good hand once more to catch the attack coming at him. Though it did nothing to protect his magnetic field which once again surged with pain that had become slightly familiar now. It covered his entire form and if Deacon's Qi were more powerful would likely leave him in an odd state of pain paralysis. However he was too slow to land initial significant attacks with his physical form. Leon would make no action to attack or retaliate, instead chose to speak.

"Your level of power and control over your Qi is above average, and impressive in most cases. However, it seems you have neglected yourself. Become powerful without your Qi and no one can stand before you as a threat. That is my advice."

(OOC: Got caught up in some OOC stuff. Should be good for now. I apologize)

Deacon had essentially hit the barrier of his capabilities. He might have been able to scrape by a tiny bit longer, but it was ultimately futile for him to do so. Leon did indeed live up to his reputation. Deacon had barely even managed to cause more than a handful of scrapes to the man.

His body pained him, both a exhaustion and a soreness swallowed his body as he stood there, fist cupped in the hand belonging to the war hero before him. Despite his own performance, Deacon still felt he had a huge gap to clear. Leon's words of wisdom wouldn't fall upon deaf ears. Instead, he would remember them and work to improve himself. He was right, after all. Deacon was still to physically slow and weak without his abilities.

Deacon's guard woule drop, shoulders slouching before the metal shell surrounding his body would revert to it's granulated state and snake its way up into the back-pack he wore. The blonde man would attempt to stand, before his body was wrought with pain. He would keep over and pass out, without being able to mouth anything else to this man before he ultimately collapsed upon the ground.
