X805 Grand Magic Games: Shocking Magics of the Two Fighters

As Ebisu Zakat entered into the arena, adjusting the straps on his vambrances as necessary, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement as he hear the crowd roar up with energy and vigor as they stood up to applaud the newcomer guild who had already shown that they could stand up to the rest of the more veteran guilds around here. Ebisu waves to the audience that stood protected behind one of the most advanced barrier’s in all of Fiore, something that eased Ebisu’s mind, as he knew that with that in place he could go all out and truly show his master the skills he had; hopefully doing her proud as a thank you for taking him into the guild. His body was alive with the electricity that coursed through his veins and was aching to get out and show its black form in the radiant sunlight that shined down upon them. The ground below was still saturated with water from a flood that Ebisu had seen one of the Salamander Shade mages perform, and made him a bit happy that the ground was now more of a cushion than a hard slab of dirt. His muscular arms flexed up to make sure that his sword guard was still latched in, eager to draw it, but wanting to keep it safely tucked away in its tanto form until he could better assess how to get in close and strike. He knew it wasn’t the event match that he was assigned to, so he had free reign to do how he pleased, but Ebisu was up for a challenge and wouldn’t mind trying to keep it close range if possible. The sound for the start of the match had yet to ring, and so he waited patiently about a third of the way into the middle of the ring, keeping some distance between him and his opponent. Ebisu could tell through the use of his Enumeration Eyes that his opponent had a decent amount of power, the value of his magic reserves hanging over his head like the price sticker on a car window. From the value he saw, in comparison to his own, he didn’t think it was anything he couldn’t handle with some skillful tactics in drawing out his opponents magic and avoiding it; as he knew his reserve was greater than that which his opponent showed. Knowing that it will be a game of counters, outlasting magic, and staying one step ahead of his opponent, put him more at ease thanks to the power of his ocular magic. Putting his hands behind his back and giving a slight bow to his opponent across the way, Ebisu used his broad chest to hide the fact that his hands had pressed down on his INDO ring behind his back to bring out six disc-like objects from his equipment storage that he would be able to use as a surprised once the bell tolled. He then waited in the “at ease” position that he had seen many soldiers do before, as he bounced slightly on his toes in his excitement to start.
