       Nikolai (Mini RP, sparring with the NEW BESTIE)
       By: Gav Date: September 2, 2018, 4:02 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The sound of a minor struggle resounds, bringing life to an
       otherwise dull warehouse in the slums of Moscow. Clashing fists
       - exchanging blows, thud after thud echoing throughout as
       Nikolai and Konoma engaged in a scuffle, a one sided sparring
       match. Nikolai's expression, overall, was blank, not a single
       bit of emotion escaping the fit and trained killing machine. His
       gaze, however, held within it a startling ferocity, brought on
       by the rush that only battle could bring. Conflict - all he was,
       all he would likely ever be, and all that would bring about
       change. To stagnate would be to fall short, to fail, and that he
       could not allow, and it was for that very reason he sought out
       Konoma's teachings and assistance in understanding the martial
       art he wielded. To bring life into his boring and predictable
       fighting style, to drag it further, and to turn Nikolai into
       more of a force to be reckoned than ever before.
       A pause, a brief moment of calm in what was otherwise a hard
       fought and ruthless endeavor. The two figures exchanged a
       glance, distancing themselves from each other - Konoma panting,
       bruised, and beaten while Nikolai seemed relatively unphazed -
       if not a bit winded.
       "Konoma." Nikolai spoke, a single word - to the point, clear, so
       as to draw his attention. "Try harder." he added, rising up and
       shifting form to uphold the makeshift stance he had copied and
       slowly, ever so surely, been adapting to suit his advancement in
       the art. He could not grow - not learn, if Konoma were to drag
       him down. It was he who he based it off of, but on the very same
       - Konoma was...frail. Weaker than Nikolai. A bit debatable, but
       perhaps slower too. He could harm him - but it paled in
       comparison to the unholy assault he would face as per
       repercussion. With every fight, Nikolai expanded his knowledge -
       his technique. He struck out at openings, bringing into the fray
       alongside his crushing strength a variety of half-hearted
       maneuvers and techniques. Grapples - knee strikes, jabs,
       punches, kicks. His effort was in place, and the fight hard -
       but Nikolai was made for this. Made to hurt. Made to win, and it
       was almost as if he had something to prove.
       "Alright." responded the filthy Jap, as he marched on to
       re-initiate the brawl. Clear, and to the point. Nikolai like.
       And so, it continued. Konoma - a jab falling forth, with Nikolai
       extending a flattened palm out - pushing at the fist, casually
       tossing it aside as he tilted to avoid it in its entirety.
       Konoma shifted past, startled by the deflection, and Nikolai
       leaving his battle-worn opponent no time to react. An elbow
       fell, carrying with it a mediocre level of force - not enough to
       cause..permanent harm, but enough to perhaps bring their little
       charade to a halt for the time being. It collided with Konoma's
       back, sending him tumbling forth in the very same motion - every
       single ounce of momentum brought on by his assault and tumble
       being enhanced further. That was that, and Nikolai had bested
       him yet again...and again...and again. His brave attempt, cut
       short in one swift maneuver made possible. The abuse of the
       opponent's openings - usage of it to strike to the fullest and
       counter everything that would come his way.
       He did not get weaker. Konoma, once capable of putting up the
       greatest fight, was becoming lesser compared to the Synth. His
       technique, passed on, copied, imprinted upon the Synth and
       utilized for nothing more than the sake of sheer growth. His
       capacity would be at its maximum, and he would not allow the
       opportunity to become stronger than ever before to escape his
       grasp. The battles became shorter - quicker, by all means. The
       Synth, with his already superior physique, would maximize his
       opponent's openings - although few and far between, and utilize
       them in tandem to deliver strikes that nothing could hope to
       shake off. He countered. He abused. He learned, and he adapted.
       He grew. It was all he knew how to do, all he could do. He would
       fight. Get better at it. Get better at destroying, better at
       killing. He would serve his superiors to his fullest, and above
       all else?
       Strength increased the odds of survival.
       "We will continue at a later date. Rest." spoke the emotionless
       Synth, gazing back for only the slightest fraction of a second.
       He stepped off without waiting for a response, perhaps to
       reunite with his superiors, and prepare for what was to come.
