Jirin bursts forward in a flash and kicks Marcus in the center of the chest, sending him sliding for two dozen feet, "Empowered Technique: Flash Kick!"
"You had another trick?" Marcus brushes off some dirt, "You may be young but your intuition as a fighter is decent, better than most other people I fought from your country. However..."
Marcus leaps forward, vanishing for a moment as Jirin frantically looks around, trying to locate him. Marcus appears behind Jirin and kicks him on the back of his knee, grabs him by the face, and slams him into the ground while restricting Jirin's ability to use his Earth Affinity.
"You aren't going to beat a Contalian in marshall combat," Marcus sighs while leaning back, avoiding an attempted kick from Jirin who uses the momentum of the kick to spin around and get back to his feet, "I won't pretend that your skills aren't impressive, but they aren't comparable to someone who was born to fight."
