Strikes landed against one another, some making evident sounds that had to have been solid combinations of attacks. Kori had been actually panting as if he had been tired but who he was fighting against was a mystery, whoever it was seemed to hold his own against the Arashikage King. Kori deflected an oncoming attack only for his own counter to be stopped, soon the two were continuously countering one another. After a few long minutes the two stopped and bowed to one another respectfully. "I think I'm getting better than you master Kori..." The mystery apprentice spoke up, smirking lightly, receiving a playful punch on the arm. "Maybe, only time will tell Cassius..." Kori said to the man, the two continued to fight with one another in the training room immediately after.
