"kanji? what do you have against him?".
"everything now shut up and just give up".
*kaze runs towards akira getting ready to punch him*.

*akira said*.
*kaze then tries to land a straight punch at akira but akira blocks it with his arm*
*wind blows at the impact*
"tsk your annoying".
*kaze said*
*akira backs off*
(her punch almost breaks my bone,not only that her fighting art is strong but she is also very strong in hand to hand combat...this is not gonna be good).
*akira thought*
"well then how about this flame arts: flame blitz".

"what the hell is he doing".
(by spinning like this,thi hit will be critical if it lands)
*akira thought*
*akira then stops spinning*
"what did you do?".
*kaze ask*
"when i launch my attack at you earlier it merges with you tornado and it makes the fire much larger and stronger".
"so what are you planning?".
"if im understanding this correctly if i spin constantly the air will roll over my body creating my eruption more powerful!".
