Today was the big day, where it would finally become clear wether or not obtaining those psychic powers made him stronger, or not. Learning the ins and outs of PSI wasn't easy, especially when your own Burst tried to burn you to ashes just as much as the opponent - Prometheus Flame was dangerous and wild. But Ryoji was strangely confident in his prowess with the flames now, confident enough to be here today, in order to face his first opponent in a battle that would determine wether or not we would be granted control over his powers he normally could only dream of.
Stretching his body in order to get his muscles ready for the Rise he was likely to use, he waited for the first enemy - he didn't know who it was, but it was certain it wouldn't be an easy battle. Ryoji was standing on top of a mostly collapsed bridge, on one of the highest parts. The light was dim, as usual within Psyren, but the air here seemed to give him wings, even if not literally. Little did he know that all PSI users, including his opponent, grew stronger in the atmosphere of this place, since it enhanced the minds and brains of people here.
"Well then... it's show time." Looking up, towards the direction where his opponent was supposed to show up from, a smirk was on the face of the normally daydreaming boy, his scarf covering half of said smirk. With the yellow piece of cloth and his clothing epically fluttering in the wind, Ryoji did look like quite the badass at the moment. That he could also look like a total idiot at times, was another story.
