Sho stood in front of a large cherry tree. He was looking up into the air watching the petals fall one at a time. There was a cross breeze that danced across the field carrying petals across the area. The thing was Sho could feel each petal as they fell from the sky. Electroreception as he liked to call it was something else entirely. He had yet to test in combat though so it was going to be something rather spectacular. Sho revealed one of his hands to catch the petals flowing through the air. The petal landed in his right hand. He looked down into his gauntlet and let the petal return back to the wind current carrying it. He was here for a reason he was waiting for someone. He had gotten stronger since their last encounter so he wanted to test his strength against her once more. First, it was in a tundra but now it was located in an oriental location. The area was fairly clear of any obstructions. Outside of this one large cherry blossom tree. This tree was massive, several meters in size, and stretched high into the sky with large branches. Sho could only admire the beauty of the landscape but it was about to become a heated battleground.

Sho reached into his pocket and pulled out his trusty flask before unscrewing the top and taking a swig while he waited. His cloak began to flow as the wind picked up and swirled high into the sky. The thing was Sho wasn’t worried win or losing it was about how he bettered himself and how he could get stronger in the grand scheme of things. He was going to need all of his strength for the upcoming battles with the monsters that go bump into the night. He had no choice, in this world, it was killed or be killed. It kind of rocked Sho to his core that he knew that at some point he would have to take a life for the greater good. Nothing could prepare him for taking a life without mercy. He had been so used to sparing people or just maiming them. But to take a life with his own hands would be something he would have to deal with as he crossed that road. Even though he always fought intending to knock someone out. Thankfully today was not one of those days to take a life. “She should be here soon.” He said calmly while taking another swig and screwing the top back on his flask.

He placed it back in his pocket and then removed a small case with a tiny latch on it. He opened it revealing rolled-up blunts. They were filled with a special plant that was homegrown. Sho removed one and placed it on his lips. He reached into his back pocket and revealed a lighter before he cupped his hands close over the blunt and began to click the lighter to bring it to life. The light kissed the end of the tightly wrapped paper and Sho inhaled deeply. The end of the paper lit on fire and began to burn ever so slightly. He closed the lighter and began to smoke. ‘Hopefully, I can finish this before.’ He thought to himself while admiring the tree.
