[Akihiko's been spending almost all of his free time in the sparring area, but to be completely honest, its been getting kind of dull. He's been kicking a fair number of asses, sure, but that's mostly because said asses belong to people who couldn't throw a punch to save their lives. Aki's been lecturing people on how to fight, but nobody's really been listening to him. Maybe because he sounds like a smug judgmental jerk when he tells people they need to go home and study the basics??
This face tattoo guy doesn't sound like a smug judgmental jerk, though. He sounds like a bro. Akihiko's been listening to him from a distance for a while now, but it's the word supplements that reels him in and makes him stand to attention. Akihiko drops everything he's doing and pushes his way through the group of fighters circling the Bro-spouting punk-wrestler, and he's totally unapologetic about any toes he steps on or conversations he interrupts along the way.
When he gets to the front of the crowd, his eyes light up. He's been waiting for this. Someone strong, someone smart. Someone who knows their shit.
e-2!!

It's time to make a god damn friendship.]
