[center][h1][color=92278f][b]Niko VS Kyro[/b][/color][/h1][/center] So, after his 'What am I so stressed out over?' moment, Niko seemed a bit more relaxed. He still wanted to win, as that would make things hella-easier, but like any soldier...it's good to have a back-up plan. Let's just say that the thought of any contengency for after this tournament put his mind a bit more at ease so that he could focus more. He still had to fight, regardless, and Kyro was a serious opponent. Not one line of opening banter. He was as real as his master, in that respect. With the gong sounded and the two of them now prepared, it was Kyro that did the opening move. He was testing the waters, exactly what Niko and any number of other competent fighters would be doing, at this point. Now, we'd like to make a joke here about the water about to get a little [i]choppy[/i], but that wasn't our boy's fighting style. Right now, it was Niko's style to see if he could bait Kyro into following an action he could predict, and so as the man charged forwards looking for an attack, he got one. Niko threw himself forwards at the man's left, to quickly get himself out of reach, but in the midst of that somersaulting motion launch out his foot to kick the man in his hip.
