[color=aquamarine]"Well, uh, I wouldn't say I [i]ran[/i] out of the guild..."[/color] Tone sheepishly muttered to himself. He had already completely forgotten about the horrendous stench that almost made him sick. In fact, that was Akemi's drink! With that realization he looked back down at her with a slight look of fear. [color=aquamarine][i]She must be quite strong. Stronger than she looks to stomach something like that![/i][/color] And while Akemi was perfectly willing to go along with the sparring idea it was Zen who proposed a revision to Tone's original idea. Not before giving Tone some criticisms first. [color=aquamarine]"Hey I pay attention to my surroundings,"[/color] he complained, pointing a thumb back at his chest. [color=aquamarine]"I bet I can work with a team just fine! I used to work with my brother all the time!"

"Oh no, wait, actually we only ever trained together. But in [i]theory[/i] I can do some teamwork."[/color] With that Tone dropped into a stance with his knees bent, his elbows in, and his hands clenched into fists. Akemi and Zenith would both immediately feel his magic power rising and likely realize at about this moment that Tone was intending on starting the spar right now, still in the middle of the street. [color=aquamarine]"Alright Akemi, let's get stronger!"[/color] Jets of flame erupted from behind his limbs just as before, propelling him through the air towards Zen. But unlike before the flames entirely ceased once he reached striking distance and his feet touched the ground, where Tone immediately dropped into a low stance and attempted to sweep Zen's legs and bring him to the ground. In his mind he just assumed that Akemi would be right behind him and be perfectly able and willing to follow up on the opening strike, but much like how Zen criticized him earlier he did not actually check to see if she was ready or even on the same wavelength as him.
