[Yeah, I got questions about that smoke breathing... But maybe it's how it takes Katsuki's blasts a while to affect him. Who knows. Anyways!

Katsuki's standing still, watching the smoke. If doesn't actively attack Izuku, then Danger Sense shouldn't target him. He's still not sure about Danger Sense. Because technically, Katsuki's not "dangerous" to Izuku. Not anymore. (Unless he still has some deep-seeded reflexive PTSD regarding Katsuki and associating him with pain and danger.) So if they're just sparring, it shouldn't go off.

But if he aims and AP Shot into the cloud...]

[defendure]

[ At the basics? Yes absolutely. But the fourth could use it to avoid the non-lethal attacks of the fifth, so it's more a matter of nailing down the sense of attacks at all. No attack at all will of course circumvent it since there's nothing to do about it...

Though there's a huge strain using it still. He gets better later from his canon point but he's still fumbling now.

AP Shot he can sense, though. If Katsuki fires one off he has a direction, but doesn't attack - dodges to the side to get a different angle and sends black whip out the OTHER side of the cloud as a decoy...

So he can attack from this other side. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki does fire it, but has no expectation or even intention that it will hit. It's to make Izuku move and force some kind of reaction out of him. The best Katsuki can do is punch into the cloud, but going inside himself is a fool's decision.

The main issue is, Katsuki's expected both decoy and motion, so he's back far enough that he can see the entire cloud in his vision. Well, maybe not he entire cloud, but enough a sweep from left to right won't take long.

Something snaps from the side and that mass of black he instantly recognizes as Blackwhip. Meaning Izuku's coming out from another area. Above, the other side, behind...

He'll listen. If Izuku wants to get in close and hit him, he'll hear that. But if he doesn't, then he's probably aiming an air shot at him...

Katsuki shoves backwards, bounding away in a jump as he charges an explosion in his hand.]

[defendure]

[ There's always an explosion coming, but Izuku's half distracted, half focused - he does try to land that kick, but if he doesn't he backs off a bit, muttering to himself.

Analyzing what he needs to do next...training wise, he thinks he has an idea for a new "game", but probably Katsuki won't listen to that until they're done - which is fine with him. ]

[blastedass]

[He hears and feels the "whump" of a foot past him, landing in the sand, but he dodged the kick regardless, putting the needed distance between them.

Straightening up again, he regards Izuku with some speculation. So far, there's no defined limit to the smokescreen... so that's something he pays attention to.]

[defendure]

[ Only limit is his energy and manna...so that's something he's trying to keep tabs on, although he circles back to see what Katsuki does this time... ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki's not privy to that information, minus the manna, so he's assuming he can just go and go and go. Until he runs out. Of what. Manna likely.

He's judging the size of the smoke cloud, but keeping an eye on Izuku in case the fucker decides to jump back in there.

Although... Katsuki hauls a rock off the beach and tosses it a few times.

Then slams it off towards Izuku, complete with explosion fueling the speed. Rocket Rock.]

[defendure]

[ Considering Katsuki has done ice snowballs before this isn't too shocking.

Izuku dodges that one, snaps out Black Whip to maybe try to knock it back? ]

[blastedass]

[He fights to win. If you can't handle ice snowballs, you shouldn't be outside your fucking house. (He pegged Izuku with so fucking many of them for no reason...)

Katsuki sees the rock go by, blackwhip snap out to grab it, and yep, the rubber band Spider-Man 3 sling of rock at him gets him dodging to the side.

For all Izuku's Quirks, he finds Danger Sense to be the most fucking annoying... Doesn't help that One For All augments Deku's speed and reaction time.]

[defendure]

[ Was the reason liking to see Izuku yelp and cry, because...

Well, he doesn't do that anymore. He just accepts it as a Katsuki tactic and does his best to adapt to it. ]

Kacchan, what's the win condition?

[blastedass]

[Yes. So he'd know he wasn't special and didn't deserve to be "safe" with the normal people. Those kinds of bully thoughts.

Now he knows that rock likely wouldn't hit Izuku and is more gauging his reactions and how he operates with his Quirks. Bakugou knows blitzing Izuku isn't a smart thing at the moment. So he's studying him first. Figuring out counters for multiple opponents wrapped in one person.]

None. This is exercise, not a competition.

[Without All Might here, Katsuki's somewhat slid into the "coach" role alongside his "sparring partner" position.]

[defendure]

[ Honestly, it's surprising to hear it's an exercise but Izuku won't argue the point. Just brightens up and - ]

Can you attack me a bunch while I'm in the smoke?

[ - ask for that, so. Apparently he finds that helpful somehow? ]

[blastedass]

[The main reason Katsuki's pushing for that is they're on a resort island and technically, large-scale fights can call the Diamond Guards. If they're not already on their way now to find out what the fuck all this smoke is on the beach...

So keep that in mind, hm? Reality check you two.]

How the fuck's that gonna help if I can't see you in the smoke? You want me to wail away at nothing?

[defendure]

It's that or attack me without always hitting me?

[ Wait, he should back up. ]

It feels like the best way to train Danger Sense is to not see what's coming, but it isn't useful to just have a constant barrage thats all aimed directly at me - more diffuse, I guess, and with pauses so I'm not sure if there's something or not? The smoke was blocking your ability to be constant, and my ability to see anything, but we can take that away if we just adapt how much you're attacking and how directly...

[ #NerdRambles ]

[blastedass]

[Seriously? He didn't ask for this fucking diatribe.]

Why don't we just blindfold your ass again.

A smokescreen's not hard to use. But if you want to test Danger Sense, I need to be able to see you to strike you. Otherwise we're wasting our energy trying to simulate battlefield chaos.

[Which he understands, completely. There's a difference in dodging an unseen sniper and dodging accidental friendly fire or haphazard debris.]

[defendure]

Do you have anything we could use for that?

[ He doesn't exactly carry around blindfolds in his swim trunks and shirt. ]

[blastedass]

I've got my shirt.

[It's not going to be a very wieldy blindfold, but it'll work in a pinch?]

[defendure]

Works for me? [ A shrug. ] Or I guess we can table that part for later?

[blastedass]

[Don't fucking "table" shit when he's halfway out of his fucking shirt.

Katsuki finishes stripping it off, glaring at him the entire time, then twists it between his hands and

'toing'

pulls it taut.]

Get over here.

[defendure]

[ A year ago he definitely would not have come over...but he does now. ]

Okay, okay...

[blastedass]

[This is a bit easier since his shirt's still damp from the water. But he folds it a few times to get an even-ish strip before wrapping it around Izuku's head, covering his eyes behind the material. It's not a perfect blackout, since his shirt's white and not the thickest thing in the world (casual beach shirt), but for impromptu, it'll work.]

There.

[defendure]

Okay. I'll tap out when I feel too low?

[ Or at like a reasonable time for a change... ]

[blastedass]

Yeah.

[Still hates the fact they're limited due to that fucking Manna issue.]

Your smoke's dissipating. Want to wait for it to clear or go now?

[defendure]

Now's fine if you can see.

[ Katsuki's the one aiming after all. ]

[blastedass]

[Fun fact. There's no answers when he says that.

It's all quiet. Katsuki's left while Izuku'd been checking the blindfold and answering.

Yay for soft sand underfoot.

Meaning he turns after several paces, takes aim... and snaps out an AP Shot right at him.]
