The usual cockiness dragged with it a befitting rolling of the eyes, slightly disturbed as the Sinese tried
hard not to take it seriously. This was the usual way with Raymus, he'd have to get accustomed to it at some point. "
Yeah, yeah..." He dismissively replied; "
As you say, sir." Truth be told, he did play along, but the thought lingered in his mind. The werewolf
could go feral if he wanted to, he just
wouldn't. Suggesting ultimately that the difference in power was, as expected, quite vast. And naturally, having come from this belief set in the first place, Jan Ren had bought into this charade, his morale just slightly damaged before the fight even started.
Psychological warfare?
He was already hinged towards a loss.It was time to get focused on the battle, much as he hated to get to that point. Studying the blue-haired's positioning and stance, and still lingering under the aforementioned mindset, Jan Ren viewed himself as outclassed. The werewolf was battle-hardened for sure, and he himself, has barely every fought anyone before. In the first place, their current state seemed like it was headed towards hand-to-hand, rather than a full-on battle between wizards, which would put the Sinese at a disadvantage; he was used to using his magic to solve violent conflicts, even if it didn't always net him the result he sought.
Eyes kept closely watching the other, the young man didn't move as he traced the wolf's movements. Encircling him, but still keeping fair distance.
Seems both of them assumed the same, reactory position for a start. This only further enhanced the Sinese' anxiety, knowing it was up to
him to make the first move, if they were going to get anywhere. But that meant... Certain pain. And that was what he had wanted to avoid the most. But... Alas, such is how battles are structured.
Around 10 meters apart? ...Very well.Moving as his leg muscles tensed up, knees bending down a bit as he angled to properly move, the Sinese was caught by surprise when all of the sudden, the other had already leapt forward, straight at him. "
!?" Forced on the defensive, Jan Ren immediately moved to the right side, the werewolf's hand barely grazing over his collarbone left.
That, alone, hurt!! He winced lightly, but with this, the distance between them had closed. Building his Magic Power in his arm and palm, the Sinese aimed to punch at the blue-haired with his free left, but ultimately backed down; watching how his opponent made a quick flip back, once again covering distance.
Hit and run. Stay safe, but strike fiercely. If that's the case, all he needed to do for a proper comeback was... Neutralize the distance. A blue magic circle would appear by his right fingertip as Jan Ren made the shape of a gun in his hand.
"
Drop Shot: Qang!!"
Aligning his body to face Raymus perfectly, Jan Ren fired from his fingertip a small drop of water, jetting at high speed towards the werewolf's torso. This alone would be his current move, though used in some stress; as he could already feel his hurt pumping.
Damn, that scared him... But there was no time to rest! Eyes kept wide-open, watching for the other's next antics; whatever they may be. He felt like the first strike made was putting him to a test, and in a way. His own prematurely-fired spell, acted as a test of his own. While if it landed it would definitely damage Raymus somewhat, it would also tell just what kind of effort either had to put in.
...What? Don't judge me. This is an Anime RP, attack names need to be stated. Otherwise it's just not cool.
