Jin Suzuka |
Here the two were, preparing to spar. The black-haired man had never done that before. “Spar,” that is. Was it not too dangerous? Couldn’t he hurt the other person in a way they might not recover? The man had an affinity for nothing, will eventually return to nothing, and uses his magic to return others to nothing. So why would he ever do such a thing as “spar?” However, something drew the silent man to do so - spar, that is. It was just such a fascinating idea on the surface level, fighting without the intent to apprehend someone. His father told him to never fight others pointlessly, as fighting without a cause was comparable to committing a sin. Of course, this was coming from a priest, just as the black-haired man was growing up. He hadn’t settled on being a priest because he thought that the profession was too small in magnitude. It couldn’t change the world as he wanted to - or at least, as much as he knew was impossible to do. Of course the man - Jin Suzuka - wasn’t trying to change the world… He just wanted to do his part. Regardless, this was well outside of his grounds as a priest, so today he had to shed that title for a little while, despite how he was dressed. Of course, Jin was dressed in his normal casual attire, if one could call it that. His priest’s garb, the long black cloak he normally wore as custom for the priests in his family. It covered his hands and extended a little past, but not enough to restrict movement. The same could be said for his legs, and the only thing resembling his actual profession was the pendant around his neck, the Rune Knights’ emblem. This was tucked under his shirt as per the norm, as his position when off the job was better kept a secret, to not unnaturally intimidate anyone. He could pull it out any time he wanted, but now wasn’t one of those times. Now he was just - ah yes, he was sparring. Why was he doing that again? It was 2 days ago, Jin was challenged by the man who stood across from him. It was almost out of nowhere, but in a lazy sense. The man’s demeanor put it forth in that way, at least. Jin got that the man didn’t really care enough about the sparring match to ask for it without that much laziness and lack of care, but he cared about it enough to ask it in the first place. Maybe that was why the priest accepted his challenge. The man across from him was stronger than he, so it wasn’t because of confidence in victory. Jin knew right away - he was outclassed in raw strength, and in magical strength. His opponent’s aura was larger than his own, and Jin wasn’t one to casually fight those he knew he had a high chance of losing against. Who would want to lose? So then, why did he say yes to this challenge? Was it because of some external force that was controlling his actions? Forcing him to say yes to a challenge that ultimately meant nothing at least, and could cost one of them their lives at most? Who knows? All of these questions meant nothing, just as this sparring match meant nothing. And as much as Jin could be working now, something told him that he - he WANTED to go through with this. So he stood there now, ready. ”My magic is not used casually, like in a simple spar. I delete things, physically and spiritually. They no longer exist when they get struck by my spells. I will probably not be using my spells often, just so you know. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore than necessary - especially not a fellow Knight.” Jin stood still, completely motionless aside from his hair and cloak blowing slightly in the wind. However his expression said nothing other than that he was ready. Even if he wouldn’t move a single muscle, he was ready for his opponent to start their friendly spar. He was giving his fellow Rune Knight the first move. |
