Senbonzakura's actions were mostly ignored by Raiden, as he was focused elsewhere! However, it did<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>escape the attention of the one in the straw hat who had been watching. The noble would feel a strong wind around him, cold and sharp. Interestingly, no dirt or leaves blew around him, indicating the wind focused only on him.<br/><br/>He would then find a sword held up to his neck, wielded by the straw hat wearing man, who appeared to be in his late teens, early twenties. He seemed unaffected by the pale hair man's power, or at least able to hide he was. "I wish to watch this fight." The man said, his voice monotone and emotionless. The fact his hand was shaking showed the extent of his rage, however. "After this fight is over, you will dig a grave. I want this grave to be big enough to hold two dogs and a human. If I see such an act again, you<span style="font-style: italic">will</span>be joining the animals whose lives you have taken." He said, placing his sword back into his sheathe, on a hip that held two such sword-holders.<br/><br/>He moved forward, ready to join the other villagers in watching the fight, before he stopped and laughed. "Whoops! In my trying to threaten you, I forgot ooooonneeeee little fact!" He said, raising his finger and waving it in a circle, a high pitched giggle punctuating  the sentence. "It only needs to be big enough for two dogs and a wet bag! Because if you do that again, my UNRELENTING ANIKI OF THE  NORTH is going to put you into one!" He said, spinning around and pointing at Senbonzakura, obviously in a better mood than before. "I mean...you look like you need an ass-kicking anyways. You nobles, you're a noble right, always look so<span style="font-style: italic">weird</span>to me." He shrugged, spinning back around and going towards the fight, clearing his throat. "Why does he make me<span style="font-style: italic">yell</span>when I call him that?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Damn it, Aro, you messed up again."</span>He thought to himself, placing his hand on his cheek.<span style="font-style: italic">"You're supposed to STAY all quiet and threatening, like mom! Not turn into a giggling annoyance right after you make the threat!"</span><br/><br/>---<br/><br/>"How old are you?" Raiden asked, raising an eyebrow in an amused look, with a toothy smirk being flashed at Enryu. "Because you're acting like a little brat playing adult. And before you ask, I'm twenty-one." He said, nodding his hand.<br/><br/>Somebody yelled "bullshit you're like fifteen" but he ignored that.<br/><br/>"Now, I think it's obvious the people want a show!" He started, before somebody caught his eye. A blacked hair woman, towering over everybody.  She looked strong<span style="font-style: italic">and</span>cute. She had doubly caught his interest!<br/><br/>"Well, sorry cutie, this isn't Takahira town!" he told her, smiling, spinning around and looking for somebody. "Buuuut! I think I'm heading there next, and I need strong looking people like you! And also cute people, I only have one so far." he said, gesturing to Mitsuhide.<br/><br/>"That's a guy!" Somebody in the crowd told him. "I know!" Raiden answered. He then turned his attention back to the newcomer, flashy a big smile. He DID seem to be flirting, in a way, but he was speaking nothing but the truth about how strong she looked! "So, just take a seat and watch me kick this brat's butt, and then we'll get ya some directions!" He said with a snap of his fingers, turning back to Enryu.<br/><br/>"Sorry about that, I'm easily distracted." He apologized, counting his blessings. He just knew his opponent would have strike normally while he was distracted, he just seemed to be that kind of guy. Was it the crowd that stopped him? Fear that Raiden would have dodged and he might endangered a villager? A matter of pride, the blacked hair warrior not wanting to defeat an opponent due to him being distracted? Raiden doubted that, but he couldn't be sure. No matter the case, now it was time for their fight to begin!<br/><br/>"Anyways, like I said! These people want a show, but we don't wanna hurt them, right?" He said, spreading out his arms, gesturing to the growing crowd, like a circular wall surrounding the two fighters. The two idiots, if you asked about fifty percent of people in said crowd.<br/><br/>"You, the guy who formed the ice!" Raiden called out, pointing towards Sven. "If you would be so kind to form a small wall of ice around us?" he asked, his voice loud and clear, much like a general issuing orders. It appeared he was beginning to become a bit serious about making sure nobody was hurt that didn't need to be.  He then, in a single motion, swung his arm towards Enryu, pointing at him. The way he moved his arm, the tall stance he took, the look in his eyes like a raging fire.<br/><br/>Raiden had zero doubts of his victory. "I am Raiden Hokkaido! If you win, then you may have my life!" he exclaimed, no hint of fear or nervousness in his voice. He delivered his words clearly, showing he had no seconds thoughts in his terms. "If I win, however, you must claim your life to me! To follow me to purge this world of Tamashii no Mori!"
