( FOUR. ) - backdated tournament log, round two.

[kuichigiru]

[ There was only one reason that Hibari signed up for this tournament in the first place - "to fight strong people." There were, he'd learned, plenty of people in Mayfield worth his time and effort, and he expected his opponent this time to be no less qualified than the last

( THE MATCH )

[kuichigiru]

[the_bloody_road]

[Dias shows up right on time, his hair still extremely short in the aftermath of the party. It's still bothering him, somewhere in the back of his mind, but he's firmly pushed that aside in favor of his next match.

He isn't expecting his opponent to be in the stands at all; while he does spot Hibari, he chalks the man up as a spectator who's merely arrived early. With no one making themselves immediately evident, he opts to spend his waiting time warming up, drawing his sword and beginning his self-taught kata.]

[kuichigiru]

[ He watches for a while, observing the other's swordplay -- it's unlike any he's seen before. Though, he isn't counting on it to help him much; actual fighting is different from training, after all.

After a few minutes, he approaches, tonfa in hand. ]

... You're my opponent?

[the_bloody_road]

[Dias finishes his current movement before straightening and sheathing his sword; he fights from the draw anyway, so there's no need to keep it out, even if his opponent has materialized.] Guess so. [He sizes up the tonfa. A double threat, but of shorter range than a sword, and bludgeoning weapons at that; harder to cause serious injury unless the user is proficient and accurate with them. Depending on how sturdy they are, Dias isn't even sure how they'll hold up to a sword, although he's not about to underestimate Hibari so quickly.

Still, he's gratified to see actual weapons. After the ridiculously unbalanced match that was his first round, he's hoping that the presence of physical weapons indicates a more straightforward fight.]

Dias Flac. [He gives the boy a slight nod.]

[She sits in the stands to watch him and offer emotional support or something.

The good thing is that she's at least not wearing a cheerleader uniform]

post-fight.

[kuichigiru]

[ After the fight is over, Hibari is just barely hanging onto consciousness, but he manages to hang on to trudge his way into the stands on his way out. Upon seeing Chrome, he pauses for a few moments. ]

Chrome Dokuro. [ a pause. ] So you came.

[ And then he blacks out for a few minutes. ]

[mosorgans]

Hibari!

[She literally jumps over benches to get to his side, yes leaving out the respective '-san' in her haste. ksdjhgdkld she moves him onto his back and hurries to begin patching up the minor wounds.

Good thing she brought a first aid kit]
