narrows his eyes You think you're ready? Prove it. Show me what you've got. lunges forward with the wooden staff
Griffin dropped low to the ground and dodged his strike, then counterattacks with a punch
grins, blocking Griffin's punch Not bad, rookie. But I've seen faster fists. swiftly swings the staff, striking Griffin's chest
Griffin grunts in pain but quickly recovering and moved out of the way of the next attack Nice hit, fast too. What's next?
smirks You've got some guts, kid. But if you want to be the best, you gotta dig deep. lunges forward again, aiming a swift kick at Griffin's abdomen
Griffin took a step back to avoid the kick but got caught in the staff strike that way, he fell to the ground Damn...that one hurts.
stands over Griffin, smirking You think that hurts? Just wait until you face my special training methods.
Griffin grunts, getting up to his feet, wiping blood from his lip Alright, hit me with your best shot...or should I say, your best kick.
grins, cracking his knuckles Oh, you want my best kick? Alright then, prepare yourself, rookie!
Griffin braces himself, muscles tensed, waiting for the kick Bring it!
raises his leg high, preparing to deliver a powerful kick Here it comes! Keep your guard up!
Griffin watches closely, seeing the kick coming, he grabs Ichinohe's ankle and trips him, causing him to fall flat on the ground
laughs, even as he falls Nice move, rookie! But don't think you can outsmart me. swiftly flips onto his feet, regaining balance
Griffin smirks Not bad. But not good enough! Griffin tries to knee Ichinohe in the stomach
quickly blocks Griffin's knee strike, using his staff to deflect it Haha, nice try, rookie! But you're gonna have to do better than that.
Griffin's face hardens, he charges at Ichinohe again, trying to tackle him to the ground
swiftly ducks and spins, evading Griffin's tackle Ha! You won't get past me that easily, rookie! launches a series of rapid punches
Griffin blocks some of the punches, managing to grab Ichinohe's arm, and grappling him to the ground
laughs, using his free arm to sweep Griffin's legs, causing him to fall Nice move, rookie! But you still have a lot to learn.
Griffin grunts, managing to regain his footing, he throws a smoke bomb, and while Ichinohe is blinded by the smoke, Griffin tries to flee
quickly removes the smoke bomb from his eyes, grinning Ha! You think you can escape me, rookie? Think again!
Griffin sprints away from Ichinohe, heading towards the forest I need to find a way out of here!
pursues Griffin through the forest, his footsteps barely making a sound You can't run forever, rookie!
Griffin stops running, turning to face Ichinohe, breathing heavily Alright, Ichinohe. You got me. But I'm not going down without a fight!
smirks, cracking his knuckles Oh, you think you have a chance against me, rookie? I'll show you what a real fight looks like!
Griffin readies himself for the fight, taking a stance Let's see how you handle this, old man!
laughs, launching a series of rapid kicks You're in for a treat, rookie! Prepare yourself!
Griffin dodges some of the kicks, attempting to counterattack You're fast, I'll give you that!
blocks Griffin's counterattack with ease, smirking You're no match for me, rookie. It's time to end this.
Griffin steps back, putting his hands up Alright, alright! I surrender! You win, Ichinohe!
laughs triumphantly, lowering his staff Good job, rookie. You fought well. Now, it's time for the next phase of your training.
Griffin lowers his guard, looking at Ichinohe with a mix of exhaustion and curiosity What's next, master?
grins mischievously Next, we're going to work on your agility and speed.
