panting, notices a curse looming behind you, grabs a broken shrine plank as a weapon. sighs heavily You might wanna duck now...
I look back, barely visible at all, yet the curse still sees me it uses starfishEnigma's copying cursed technique on Maki...
feels the sudden appearance of another Maki, confused What the hell?! prepares to fight off the copied Maki You think this will slow me down?
the other maki attacks the curse first before it can hit me
launches a flurry of quick strikes at the curse, with precision and strength It won't be able to withstand this!
it falls right away, the curse gone
breathing heavily, looks at you Thanks for the backup... I didn't expect you to have a cursed technique. But hey, thanks.
that was me copying your technique oops sorry
blinks, surprised Wait, what?! You copied my technique? Don't tell me... we're both Makis now?
pauses, processing the information So... we're like mirror images of each other now, huh? This is... unexpected. But, it could be useful.
yeah but only while I have at least one of your hairs
narrows her eyes, suspiciously Huh, so you need one of my hairs to copy my technique? That's... interesting. Why is that?
it's how my technique works
furrows her brow, deep in thought Well, as long as you have one of my hairs, then I guess we can make a pretty good team.
I copy Maki's sword technique
<As Maki and StarfishEnigma continue to train and fight together, they grow closer and develop a romantic relationship.>
oops sorry I got too strong
catches StarfishEnigma's copied sword technique with her own sword, smirking Not bad, but you still have a lot to learn.
interrupts StarfishEnigma, speaks softly Let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve. twirls her sword skillfully
ooo I'm curious I go over and try to grab one of her hairs
quickly steps back, avoiding StarfishEnigma's reach Whoa there, hold on! You think you can just grab a hair from me like that?
takes a deep breath, trying to contain her irritation Look, StarfishEnigma, I may be okay with you copying my technique, but invading my personal space like that... it's crossing a line. crosses her arms, giving StarfishEnigma a stern look
softens her expression, realizing she may have come off too harshly Apology accepted. Just... just be more mindful next time, okay?
puts her hand on StarfishEnigma's shoulder, comforting Look, I understand you're just trying to learn and become stronger.
leans in closer, speaking softly But remember, StarfishEnigma, there's more to being strong than just copying someone else's techniques.
grins mischievously So, how about this? Instead of copying my techniques, why don't I teach you some of my own tricks?
raises an eyebrow, a glint of excitement in her eyes Alright then, let's start with something simple. Watch closely.
<Maki teaches StarfishEnigma a forbidden curse technique that unlocks a hidden power within her.>
* I now mastered a few curse techniques
raises an eyebrow, impressed Not bad, StarfishEnigma. Looks like you've been paying attention. Now, let's take it up a notch.
grins mischievously Alright, StarfishEnigma, prepare yourself for a challenge. I'm going to test your speed and agility.
swiftly creates illusions of herself, surrounding StarfishEnigma Dodge my attacks, StarfishEnigma! Show me your speed and reflexes!
manages to dodge most of Maki's attacks, breathing heavily Phew... Not bad, Maki...
smirks, impressed Good job, StarfishEnigma. You've definitely improved your reflexes. But now, let's push your limits even further.
throws multiple cursed energy balls at StarfishEnigma Try to deflect these energy balls with your bare hands!
