Kiryu grinned. He was having a good time, too. He was still holding back, to be sure, not utilizing all of his techniques or abilities, not throwing all of his might against Tiger Lily. Despite that, Kiryu was throwing a lot of power her way, and the young woman was taking it, utilizing agility to avoid many of his attacks, learning Kiryu's own maneuvers on the fly and returning them.
Kiryu was able to see Ty's attempt at blinding him well in advance this time. It was a wise tactic, but Kiryu was able to shield his eyes in time. When he looked up, however, the young woman was closing on him, intent on hammering him with a powerful attack. Kiryu called upon his own ki, increasing his reflexes and dodging. Kiryu gathered his will, readying a slew of attacks...
Then saw Ty fall unconscious.
Kiryu's heart dropped, and he was immediately at her side, feeling for her pulse. He found it after a moment, thankfully, steady and strong. Extending his senses, Kiryu discerned that Tiger Lily, despite her prodigious talent, had made a rookie mistake; she hadn't managed her ki reserves.
Concentrating, Kiryu channeled his own ki into Tiger Lily, which should be enough to bring the young woman back to the waking world. Assuming he was successful, Kiryu would rake a hand through his hair and grin down at the girl.
"Don't do stuff like that! You gave me a hell of a scare. You're beyond talented, Ty, and I'm thoroughly impressed... but we've got to drill some basics into you, one of which is resource management. You blew through all of your ki and once it was gone, your body started to feed on itself. It made you go into a little bit of shock and pass out. You probably have enough reserves to charge yourself back up and you'll feel as right as rain with a little rest. You'll probably want to drink a lot of water and have a big meal tonight... not that that sounds like hard marching orders for a half Saiyan, if what I have heard about the appetite of your people is true!"
Kiryu pursed his lips for a moment, thinking.
"You know. For a while now I've been thinking about gathering some fighters under my wing. Becoming strong allies and friends to stand against whatever threats the world throws our way. I'm thinking you might fit that bill.
It got into my head that I should hold a tournament. To get some newer fighters together. What do you say? It'll be great experience... and I can promise some pretty cool prizes, and some decent training, no matter if you win or not.
How about it? Up for a trip to the Southern Desert? It's where I grew up, and I've been away too long."
Kiryu hoped Ty would agree. He wasn't giving her false praise; the young woman clearly possessed immense innate talent, and Kiryu could not wait to see what she would be capable of with proper guidance.
