"So you actually have the guts to challenge me to a Kentou?"
"Kin, did he just sneeze?"
"Kentou means honorable combat. It's one of the rules..."
"Yes! I challenge you to Kentou. Show me what you've got!"
"This will be most amusing. Please, do your best not to die in our match. I'm sorry, but I just don't think I can hold back enough not to hurt you."
Kuro dropped into his hand-to-hand stance right where he was standing, a good five yards back from the hall monitor. The monitor smirked at Kuro's poor decision not to cover more of his bo's ground, but he didn't much care.
"Let's just get this started. We have a lot more to do today! You've been talking so much about how easy we'll be to defeat, yet you continue to stand back."
The hall monitor's face began to change from smug to infuriated.
"Don't confuse cowardice with mercy you insect!"
With that, the monitor spun around drawing his bo at the same time, moving towards Kuro just enough to come in for a powerful strike. Kuro smiled and jumped without reserve into the attack. A small "thud" was audible coming from Kuro's ribs where the staff made contact, but the actual impact was fairly weak. Kuro had covered most of the distance before the strike was dealt, and now stood face to face with his opponent.
"Nasake Kobushi!"
Kuro brought his hands back to his hips, then, opening his palms, thrust them forward into his opponent's abdomen. Energy could be felt pouring out from his opponent, and an almost visible aura of energy was forming around them. His opponent was caught off-guard with a look of great surprise. But, just as quickly as the aura had appeared, it went back into their bodies and vanished. The monitor began to laugh.
"Are you joking? All that flare and your attack fell apart? That was pathetic! Let me show you a real advanced move. Dance of 1000 Staves!"
The monitor jumped back from Kuro and began to move his Bo. At first it didn't even seem to be fighting, more like a delicate dance. Then out of nowhere, with incredible speed, the Bo came flying forward towards Kuro, who dodged it at just the last second. Another brief moment passes, and two more blows come at Kuro. He feels the breeze blow over him as the bo passes by.
"What's this?"
The monitor really turned it up, and Kuro was enveloped in a whirlwind of crushing blows. However, the faster the monitor moved, the faster Kuro moved. Not a single blow was landed.
