At first there was a gaze of curiosity. What would Tarou do? Perhaps it would even prove to be life threatening! Tarou’s power was something unique. Surely Zhiro had to stay aware. But… nothing happened. Maybe it took some time to charge up? Or maybe Tarou was going to catch him by surprise. But again… nothing happened. But what if it was already activated and he just hadn’t noticed it? Zhiro braced himself for a moment while scanning around. But again… nothing happened. “Are you constipated?”

Zhiro’s eyebrow began to twitch as his foot started tapping up and down. “Ehm… is this not where something is supposed to happen? What do you mean you cannot do it? Just make it grow!” He said impatiently while shaking his head and sighing with frustration. Zhiro had absolutely no clue as to how difficult creating a technique actually was, let alone with something such as the Wood Release, which meant that he had little reason for empathy. In truth, unbeknownst to Zhiro, it was next to impossible to simply ‘pop’ a new technique into existence without any work, trial and error. But it was clear that Zhiro didn’t get that. And his arrogant side was starting to show again.

“You made your wood grow inside of the brute right? How is this any different, or can you only control your own wood?” He inquired with a furrowed brow as he looked at Tarou stance changing. Zhiro then walked over to pick up his weapon before disconnecting the double-bladed Katana as the center of the hilt with a simple twist and pull mechanic which left him with a individual Katana in each hand. He then began to circle around Tarou while ever keeping a three yard distance.

“I got an idea. How about a game? You’re only allowed to use your spear, and you have to stay in that spot even when attacking. I’m only allowed to keep moving in a circle around you. However, I can move when I attack. I just have to move back to a 3 yard distance immediately after I attack you. Which means your only options of hitting me are counterattacking and extending the range of your spear.”

Zhiro smirked to himself, just a little bit, as thought of the two swords in his hands. He would always have one sword ready to stop a counter attack. Which gave him even more of a favor in this situation. But as much as he seemed like an asshole at the moment, Zhiro truly wants to help his friend succeed and this was the best plan he could currently come up with. In his mind the only way to get better was through sweat and blood.
