Crow vs Yakob IV ( A lesson in compatibility)

"I don't get it."

Sai remarks with a confused look.

"let's take an example into consideration; say a reality warper and an earth user were to meet in battle, if their paths were both at their tenth, who would you root for??"

Mae asks as the battle begins to get explosive with more craters being formed and dust clouds forming around the clash between Yakob and Crow.

"Naturally I'd go with the reality warper as at his tenth path he'd be capable of changing the very fabric of reality, what would the earth user want to do against that."

Sai replies.

"Exactly ,so basically their abilities are incompatible, but then say a water user and an air user were to do battle under the same conditions as the first example, who would you root for??"

Mae asked as she put up another net barrier to block the projectiles being shot from the fight before them so it won't hurt anyone.

"Well that battle would be inconclusive and would be much harder to declare a winner as both variants would be evenly matched in terms of abilities, thus the battle would be won by whomever is more skilled and with more battle experience as well as smarts to use his ability."

Ilara replied not wanting to be left out.

"Exactly, that would mean that their abilities are compatible."

Mae remarks.

"So does compatibility decide if a battle is won or not??"

Sai asked.

"Not all, it doesn't decide the outcome of a battle between variants out rightly but it plays a major role and is what determines in which direction the odds are placed."

Mae responds.

"Does compatibility affect Weaponmasters as well??"

Ilara asked.

"Not really, as Weaponmasters don't exactly have a particular ability to take into account so they are wild cards in the test of compatibility."

Mae replies.

"Now enough with the questions, we have a battle to get back to."

A loud bang with the earth exploding, Yakob plants his feet into the ground and sprints forward with the earth breaking as he ran forward, Crow was sending out repulsive blasts to avoid a close encounter with Yakob as he continued to maneuver through the air staying as far as possible from Yakob while also keeping up his barrage of attacks.

"This guy is really starting to get on my nerves."

Yakob mutters to himself as he tried a last ditch effort to reach Crow but that didn't work as well.

"You have no hope of beating me so just give up already."

Crow remarked.

"Yakob!!"

Mae called out.

"Don't worry, just what for my signal, I'm going to bring this guy down now."

Yakob says as he gets into a shaolin position with his breath getting into a calm flow and his eyes peeled on the price.

"Tch you won't give up huh, alright then I'll just kill you along with my intended targets."

Crow says as he faces his palm to attack Yakob.

"Torēsoun ( trace on)."

Yakob says after which a pulse leaves his body encompassing a large part of the area they were in, Mae notices the pulse with Sai feeling it as well.

"He's actually going all out in this fight, kids step back this fight is about to get explosive."

Mae remarks as she turns and connects her strings to Dan.

"Isn't it already explosive enough, how much more explosive can it be??"

Ilara asks as they begin to move back.

"Don't ask, just do, now go."

Mae orders after which they move a few meters back, Crow sees this and faces his palm to them, Mae notices the attempted attack and immediately swipes her hand releasing a net towards Crow with the latter blasting it away, he tries to blast another repulsive force at them but realizes that they are out of range, he squints his eyes and is about to move towards them when…

Yakob opens his eyes with a colorless aura enveloping his being, he let's out a breath after which he plants his legs in to the earth and moves towards Crow at massively hypersonic speeds completely blindsiding the latter.

"He's gotten faster, way faster."

Crow thinks to himself as he tries to dodge the charge of Yakob but is unable to avoid the attack as Yakob comes up close to his face and releases a powerful barrage of punches on his body with each punch getting heavier has the assault progressed.

"He is actually overwhelming me."

Crow mutters to himself trying to repel Yakob's blows though he still got the full brunt of the punches has Yakob was moving faster than he could react, Yakob suddenly stops the barrage and swirls around with his right leg connecting with Crow and sending him flying into the dirt, Crow gags due to the force Yakob had put into the kick.
