Mugen had been overpowered in the clash, something that, while it pissed him off he couldn’t be that surprised about, when it came to physical strength Keldran was above him, not by much but enough it would seem. Raw power was not the way to win this fight, he stood up slowly, wading out of the water and rubbing his knuckle Duster fist. The rotation of the wind release had really caused some hurt, it was more like severe irritation but it still hurt. He shook it a few times and began to assess the situation again. Keldran was stronger and was using Jutsu to amplify this, making it almost impossible to hit him; however, Keldran didn’t constantly absorb chakra. ''So one option is attrition. If I can wear him out I can outlast maybe, I just have to be careful to not spend more chakra than I’m absorbing''. This plan was okay except that it was hard to tell how long Keldran could last. He considered the tanto tied to his waist, except that Keldran was a much better swords man than he was.

One of the things he had noticed was that his punches were losing their power due to the effort he had to exert to swing the fist. Forming thrusters on his back came naturally but forming them on his arm seemed tougher. He managed to create a few small thrusters on his arm to help push it forward with greater velocity. It was handy being able to change your body up on the fly. “I’ll admit, your Jutsu makes it pretty hard to get a hit in, it pushes back unnaturally and prevents my initial impact which this” he waved his right arm “Is all about” He paced as he pondered his options. In a real battle Mugen would either be dead or in Stage Two by this point. Mugen stopped pacing and looked over at Keldran “I think I need a weapon. Or at least some variety”

Regardless this training session wouldn’t end until he had either landed a hit or they gave up. He rolled his eyes and boosted into the air, it wasn’t as high as before but he was aiming to slam his fist in His general vicinity, he would repeat the process slamming into the ground near Keldran every time he moved in wild and erratic ways. Anytime he went underwater he would power his thrusters in another direction before emerging from the water and slamming into the ground again. It was wild movements that left him open occasionally but at the same time was difficult to predict perfectly.
