Author's notes at the end...

Kurousagi was standing next to each representative of the first round. Ryo stood with an annoyed look on his face as he casually glanced at his opponent. Tsuki had a simple smile on her face, but she just sighed as she held her hand on her hip. The two of them glared at each other as Kurousagi started to confirm their condition.

"Well then, are both representatives ready?"

The caramel-colored boy with long black hair and the young girl with canine traits had both nodded simultaneously in confirmation. Kurousagi lifted her hand into the air before bringing it straight down in a swift chop-like motion.

"Then….BEGIN!"

As soon as she said those words, she jumped offstage as fast as she could while the two representatives jumped back in opposite directions to put some distance between each other. Tsuki was a bit closer to the edge than Ryo was, but that only served to show how much physical strength the young leader had. She smiled before she suddenly disappeared from Ryo's view. He momentarily paused and glanced around for a hint to his opponent's whereabouts, but just as he heard the sound of her feet kicking off the ground, Ryo felt something thrust into his back as he flew forward towards the edge of the stage. Trying to ignore the numbing feel in his back, he got back on his feet and started to run towards the middle of the stage.

"If I can just reach the middle, then it'll be harder for her to push me off" he thought to himself.

However, he only made it halfway to his destination before something slammed into his right side. He spun on the ground as he traveled a short distance from the spot he was moments ago. Gritting his teeth, he quickly got back up and started to dash back towards the middle. However, he ended up spinning away again towards a corner of the stage. He would try again and again to reach an advantageous point, but each time he ran to his target area, he always ended up flying somewhere else. It took a few more times before he started to understand that she was using her inhumane speed to just toy with him until he grew tired, so he decided to take a different approach.

Ignoring the throbbing on his body, he started to run wildly towards the middle like before. Like last time, Tsuki had suddenly appeared right next to him with her leg raised for an attack. However, this time was different, because as Ryo grinned, his doppelganger suddenly appeared and nearly landed on top of the young girl. She leapt back at the last second to dodge the attack, but the doppelganger followed up with a few quick swings and a couple of martial art-style attacks that kept her at bay.

Tsuki was a bit surprised. She expected something unusual from the [No Name], but she didn't expect a [Doppelganger] user to appear in their group. However, she grinned out of amusement before quickly reaching into her pocket and grabbing something. As the two of them started to reach the end of the arena, the doppelganger started to lunge towards the wolf-girl, who proceeded to toss the thing into her mouth and bite down.

Ryo (the original) had already reached the middle of the arena, and was watching his doppelganger fight with the wolf-girl while slowly recovering from his injuries. This double was made to focus on speed and fighting instincts, so as a drawback, it was a bit more straightforward and less sturdy than his usual self. But that was fine, he just needed to make sure that this one could stall long enough until he could create a second doppelganger. So at the moment, he just watched. He watched, and waited until he could recover more strength for another doppelganger, and take down Tsuki in a 3 to 1 battle. He flexed his hand as he checked for signs of any problems.

"Looks like I'm all set…" he thought to himself as he started to imagine the blueprints in his mind…

*Blueprint of body, check*
*Altercations, Sturdier build and decent speed*
*Purpose, fighting*
*Results, acceptable*

"Now then…" he was about to begin the "creation" process when suddenly, he felt pressure pushing down on him, like a few rocks had just chained themselves to his body, making it difficult to move around like normal. He looked up to see something fly right past him and land just a couple of feet away from the edge. He slowly turned to see his doppelganger's body, bruised and nearly lifeless as it lay on the ground like an animal that was going to die. He turned back to Tsuki, whose presence now seemed change the very air around her.

Her hands grew a bit longer, and the nails were significantly sharper, making them resemble claws. Her hair was still silver, but they extended just past her hips. Her ears became more pointed, her teeth were sharper, and her eyes changed from a calm green to a bright yellow, as the pupils suddenly grew smaller, like an animal that went feral. Ryo tried to hold his ground as he felt some sweat drop from the back of his neck. It was kinda obvious from everything he saw during their first meeting, but it didn't really hit him until now.

He was fighting a werewolf.

Author's n... you know what? I'm just gonna stop repeating this everytime. It seems to be getting annoying.

So we've finally reached more fight scenes. I wanna try to milk out as much as possible, tell me if something's wrong, and I'll use that to improve my next chapter. Let me know what you think in the reviews.
