Chikao was outside of his tent and decided to go for a short walk. It was odd to see the boy out at such times, as normally he'd be sleeping the hours and days away in any spot he chose. To be up and moving without explanation would either mean he was going to train, or he was looking for someone to fight. It was hard to tell, but he had a joyful smile on his face as he strolled past the other tents of other competitors. Eventually, he reached a more secluded location a bit far away from them all, but not very far at all. He just needed a more open area, to take a couple of swings, train his body, and let out any anger. Many could take note of Chikao's broad shoulders and slightly larger build compared to the other students attending this summer event. He wasn't called an Oni for anything, and some actually presumed the boy might have been part giant due to how much of an oddity he was.
Some would think he's a muggle or even a half-blood with his nature to focus more on his physical strength rather than his magical aptitude. The reason for it all was just family-related stuff, and he never felt ashamed for his lack of magical prowess. He could still craft medical balms, and potions, and cast spells perfectly. Were any of them strong? No, but he always made up for that with his own strength. He wasn't born with strength, he earned it. Even now, the boy performed a hand stance and kept figure controlling his breathing and focusing on himself rather than his surroundings. He kept hold of this position, with little to no trouble. Still, why was he even practicing? The quidditch match for Mahoutokoro was over and they luckily won. Well, it was because Chikao had a small fear that if he didn't keep training, he'd eventually fall behind and wouldn't be able to take care of the snobby blue robes that taunted him and his friends.

They/SheBeing a beater meant upholding excellent form and strength. It was never a position to be taken lightly in a quidditch game.
Pax knew that. It was partially why they loved the high-action position. But it also meant they had to stay on top of their physical health. If they let their health slip, their performance would slip. And they had so much to prove that they couldn't throw away.
So, even during summer, they'd had to keep training. Yes, summer was a time to relax, but relaxing was for those who wanted to lose.
It seemed Pax wasn't the only one who had this sort of mentality. A boy with a larger frame had arrived at the same training spot they had found within the campsite, and Pax watched on silently with interest for a little bit as he trained. From his build, they could assume he was also a beater for an opposing team.
With a lighter version of a beater's bat (for safety purposes of course), they tapped the guy gently on the shoulder.
"Heyyyy," they stretched out the word. "Hate to interrupt your...raging, but this is my spot. Also, on a completely separate note, you ok?"Reducio

Chikao opened his eyes, surprised and losing concentration on his training. Falling over on his back, he gave the newcomer a slightly curious but devilish grin as well. He stood up, familiar with the English tongue that his parents taught him well to learn. "Your spot? Unfortunately, I don't see your name on it." Chikao decided to turn away and return to his training. Positioning himself in a push-up formation, he began to move up and down at a steady and unrelenting pace. He was ignoring this other person who was present, feeling he had no reason to cause a ruckus or mishap for now. As much as he would have loved to get on his Senpai's nerves again, he wasn't exactly feeling it today. Even after such a treacherous match, he hadn't felt as tired as he normally would.
After a couple of push-ups, his eyes did linger for a while at best trying to avoid and ignore his surroundings, but he couldn't help but notice the beater bat in this other student's hand. A joyful smile rather than a grin appeared on Chikao's face, and he swiftly lifted himself up to face them. Chikao's body was typically larger in terms of broadness than many other magical students. However, this particular student seemed more familiar in a sporting sense: "Ah, so a fellow beater has come to swing." Chikao chuckled a bit, till he realized he automatically used Japanese rather than English. His memory must have been becoming worse, or he was having more difficulty with what language to turn off and on, "Oops, my bad. Anyways, nice bat you got there. Care to take a few swings?" Chikao, without warning, took a jump back from this other student taking a martial arts pose but also similar to boxing. It seemed hostile, but his smile also seemed playful: "Wanna take back your spot?" Normally Chikao would stand still if he was being serious about fighting, but this was more of a random playful match. Arms up, fist ready to jab, he bounced his feet back and forth ready for this student to take the first swing. A test, Chikao was curious as to what the other beaters of other schools were like. Were they truly as strong as he? He wanted to know badly, and he wasn't gonna let the opportunity slip from his grasp. Smiling again, he knew other students weren't just gonna engage in a fight. It would cause discord, mischief, and possibly detention. However, to Chikao it was different. A language among warriors, to show and display each other's honor and even friendship. He dragged so many into such troublesome acts, so he knew how to start the game.
He dashed quickly and threw a quick jab at this stranger purposefully missing by a couple of centimeters, but with enough force to show he wasn't gonna hold back. Even in games, Chikao never understood how to hold back his strength. Reeling his arm back, and creating distance between the two, he smiled once more: "C'mon, show me what a weak beater can do. Or is that bat more for show?" Entice, enrage, and let the fun begin was how he saw this turning out. If they didn't, then they were certainly an interesting person who'd Chikao would still like to know more about.

They/She"Your spot? Unfortunately, I don't see your name on it."
An eyebrow raised, Pax (surprisingly) let the comment slide. Watching him closely as he did his push-ups in almost perfect formation, they tried to resist the temptation to match his pace with the exercise. Arms were not their strength. It would likely end in humiliation, something they were definitely not looking for.
As the boy rose to face them again with another grin, he spoke in a foreign tongue that Pax could vaguely recognise.
"Ah, a Mahoutokoro student, I see. I wish I could speak your language, but unfortunately languages fly over my head."
As the boy assumed a fighting stance, Pax laughed a little. To many, the instant assumption into a poised stance would symbolise a large threat to be worried about, but any hostility was lost to Pax. All they saw was an opponent who wanted to challenge them, and a chance to prove themselves worthy.
"If I'm gonna take my spot back, then I'm gonna do it fairly."
Letting the bat thud to the ground, they assumed a similar stance. Even though the bat was still effective, they weren't going to take a hard swing at this person's head when they'd just met. Give them a reason to hate him, then perhaps. But for now, no.
The jab the boy threw missed, but Pax could sense it was a purposeful miss. He wanted to bait them, see how they'd react.
"C'mon, show me what a weak beater can do. Or is that bat more for show?"
Scoffing, Pax lifted the bat again. As clever as the play was, Pax was going to prove they weren't going to be an easy opponent.
"Have it your way. But don't say I didn't warn you."
With a small smirk, they stepped forwards and let their back leg swing round in a sharp kick. They didn't see it, but they heard the connection on the guy's arm as they swung back round, landing with a little wobble (but playing it off completely smooth). Before he could recover fully from the hit on his right arm, and using the momentum from the swing back, Pax had thwacked him in the left.
"Hope I didn't hurt you," they apologised, trying to hide their proud smile after executing the move almost perfectly.ReducioRolls:

At Mahoutokoro, students would back down before attempting to fist-fight with Chikao. Many knew his antics were out of hand at times. They listened to instinct, their fear, and back away before even attempting to throw a punch or even a spell. The sudden kick caught him off guard, as he didn't expect Pax to go ahead and listen to his words. Chikao took a bit of splitting pain in his arm. His smirk faded to a look of surprise, and before he could process what was occurring he felt the bat from Pax slam into his left side. Chikao could feel the pain resonate through his body, and some would think he was all talk from how frozen in shock he seemed. Yet, after the swing of the bat, his casual grin reappeared on his face. His voice became a bit guttural and deep as he spoke in the tongue of giants: "hehehe, Ulllusdiledarirr. Acaise'r rfarrr haid hesnas dhel dhed, shaifai."hahaha, Unfortunately. Akira's spells hit harder than that, chibi A quick laugh at first could be told from it, but anyone could tell what he spoke was not some normal language that could easily be recognized. For Chikao to speak in such a tongue, could mean two things. Either one, he was really angry, or two, he was having a lot of fun. Luckily this was the latter, and he was going to show this student how to have fun in battle.
Luckily, his graduation to 2nd year allowed Chikao to join extra curriculum activities, like Judo and other forms of martial arts. Without hesitation, after his words were spoken, Chikao knew he was facing a real opponent for once. He immediately dashed forward and threw a punch directly into Pax's stomach. It connected, hard and Chikao knew it must have hurt and this person was probably going to back down soon (which in thought disapointed him a bit). He went for a kick right after as repayment for the one Pax had thrown, but he felt a surge of pain stop him and lose his footing a bit. He fell to the ground, but instead of cursing like some, he laughed.
"Kekeke! It seems you did manage to hurt me." He lifted himself up slowly, Chikao could certainly tell this student hadn't held back, which he enjoyed. He did a mimicry and mocking scoff to the one Pax had done a little back, and took his martial stance again: "Hope I didn't hurt you."

They/SheAt the boy's surprised face, Pax couldn't help but let their proud smile slip. It was amusing to them to see how he'd react, and his words in a language that was quite certainly not Japanese did not seem to surprise. Everyone defaulted to something when surprise, they supposed.
However, they had let their pride blind them from the counter-attack that really ought to have been expecting. A quick punch from Chikao (they finally recognised the boy from the quidditch match) landed right in their stomach, and Pax recoiled a little, winded. But their guard was now up, and they managed to anticipate another attack, this time a kick, and move out of the way.
Taking a heavy breath out to let the pain in their gut subside a little, they maintained hunched over a little, using this as a hopeful element of surprise.
Similar to Chikao, they darted forwards and threw a punch to the gut, quick and sharp. They easily shifted their weight to the back and used their front leg to deliver a swift kick to the knees, seemingly catching Chikao off-balanced enough to watch him topple to the ground.
Hoping he didn't notice them wince slightly as they straightened (that punch had been pretty harsh, but they'd never admit it), Pax crouched next to Chikao. This time, they felt no need to hide the smirk of pride. After all, he'd decided to underestimate the skills of Pax Zhang.
"It seems to me that I'm doing perfectly alright, actually. I'm not sure if I could say the same about you however. I'm happy if you'd like to call a truce. I'd hate for you to get beat up by someone you just met."ReducioRolls:

A truce? Never, the boy enjoyed fighting too much to call it quits now. As he lay on the ground from Pax's swift punches and kicks, Chikao could only wonder who exactly it was he was dealing with. Their strength was unlike the many other students at wizarding schools. He recognized strength besides magic from the other schools, but it mostly seemed a lot of students focused on their magical prowess rather than their own physical aptitude. This student seemed different, and despite how things started a bit negatively, Chikao couldn't help but enjoy the time the two were having. "Please, you show dishonor to think a warrior like I, Narumi Chikao, would ever back down." Giving his name in full, in the typical eastern style of family name first.
His body ached, and honestly, this was a more motivating workout than just his usual sit-ups and push-ups. It reminded him of the home where he'd help his parents with gardening and handling certain animals from going wild. It was the main reason why Chikao was so physically adept and a bit why he could be considered a wild animal himself. As badly as he wanted to sleep, he couldn't just stop right then and there. His blood was pumping, and he wasn't gonna lose the moment to throw a couple more shots at his new opponent/friend: "So, what is the name of the fierce warrior I shall take down today?"He asked, before swiftly jumping off the ground to take an advantage and slam Pax's head into the ground with his fist.

Sorry it is so so so late'Dishonour?' Pax raised an eyebrow. They didn't realise that was how this guy, newly named as Narumi Chikao, would be like. But they weren't complaining. It was good to get into a friendly fight every now and then.
The sudden impact of the ground against their head got their blood pumping, as a grin spread across Pax's face. Adrenaline was a great motivator. Though, it did definitely hurt, and it would be pretty clear (if it hadn't already been) that they'd gotten into a fight by now. Letting go of a breath they didn't realise they'd been holding, they did their best to shrug it off as they leapt back up to their feet, swinging for another punch in the guy's stomach.
"I'm Pax," they answered as their left fist connected, preparing to swing for a second with their right. As the second blow landed, they would nod, meeting his eye. "Pax Zhang."
That was horribly cheesy, god. Maybe it was the classic movie fighting talk that was getting in their head. Straightening a little more, they squared their feet and prepared in case of another rough hit.
"Ignore that I said it like that," they visibly cringed. "I swear I'm not that stupid, at least not all the time. Especially when I'm fighting."Reducio
