"So this is the dojo...."
Levi was standing at the front door of the school's dojo, taking in as many details as she could about it before going inside. However, the details she was looking for was not in the structure of the building or its architectural design, she couldn't of cared less about those things, she was looking for signs of life. While Levi was the powerhouse, Manami was the social butterfly and each of them carried out these roles as they went throughout their shared life. At the end of the day Levi was awful when it came to interacting with others and a majority all her interactions with others began or ended with a violent fight. As such as she moved towards the dojo she wanted to be absolutely certain that she wasn't going to run into anyone when she went inside. For a few moments she stood unmoving, listening intently for any sound behind the door but after a few minutes her ears were met with nothing but silence.
Just go in already, for a self proclaimed Empress of the Sea you are being quite the coward. Honestly, what's the worst that could happen? Easy for you to say! You're used to interacting with others, I'm just suppose to beat down anyone who tries to mess with us You see that's your problem right there. You don't trust anyone and you don't even put an effort into getting to know others. Instead you just try to beat up everyone we meet. I don't have a problem! You just trust everyone to easily and don't stand up for yourself so I have to do it for you!
Levi hated when Manami was the one criticizing her, it was suppose to be her job to criticize Manami not the other way around. It was Manami that kept running into dangerous people not her and so what if she fought almost everyone she met, almost everyone couldn't be trusted. Levi blocked out her other personalities voice as she stepped threw open the doors of the dojo and walked in. She had never actually practiced martial arts before but she thought hitting the punching bags a few times would help release some of her built up aggression and Manami had agreed to give her control of the body to do so. However, now that she and her split had gotten into a argument she had even more frustration to vent into the poor punching bags that were waiting inside.
She didn't actually have any martial arts equipment or outfit so she had just come to the dojo in a pair of blue sweatpants,simple black t shirt, and a pair of sneakers. Approaching the first punching bag she took of her shoes and socks standing in front of it bare foot and began to shift her weight from one foot to the other. In the next moment her feet and hands would be engulfed in a tough layer of scales, who needed boxing gloves when your own skin was armor, and her venting began. There was little to no form to her kicks and punches, her fighting style was barbaric and focused more on pure strength than it did on technique or finesse. She started out using about one twentieth of her full strength but as she began to fall into a pattern she slowly began to increase the power. She practically entered a trance like state and didn't even notice as someone else arrived in the dojo. This trance continued until she slipped up and put to much force behind one of her kicks. In one fell swoop the bag was disconnected from the chain that held it to the ceiling and went flying into the nearby wall.
"Damn"
Levi was still completely oblivious to the new arrival in the dojo and would continue to be ignorant of their presence until they spoke up or she happened to catch sight of them in the corner of her eye. Either way they would be spotted eventually, the method by which it happen, however, was completely up to them. @aaron

War is a hell of a thing Try to fight it, try to run. But it's arm is long, and you're just what it needs.
Aaron set down his duffle bag quite silently as his eyes would roam over the scaled female form laying absolute waste to the bag in a rather dynamic fashion. He analyzed her body movements, her structure. He determined something critical in those first few moments. Something that put him far more at ease than he would have been had her forms been different.
He settled in his own head that she knew nothing about fighting.
There was no measured pace, no outstanding posturing or foot movement. Aaron had been in this game- the game of training, of fighting, or sparring- for as long as he could remember. It was kinda his thing. He blamed that as the reason he developed the abilities he did. Immense strength and indomitable physical presence. As the girl would super kick the bag clean off it's chains, he'd stand and put his hands on his hips.
"Nice hits."
When she turned toward him, she'd notice he wore loose shorts, his sleeveless shirted frame indicative of his own desire to work the bags. He was bare foot, his turtle necklace still hanging loosely down to his sternum and his black ring on his left middle finger reflective just enough light to be distracting. He brought up said hand and put it behind his head, giving his hair a little scratch as he sighed, eyes closed
"But....and I mean this in the kindest way possible...unless you're fighting a statue or a punching bag, you're gonna have a bad time."
He was blunt, but non-threatening, and would finally open them, green hues searching her face.
"Want to have a go against me? I'll show you what I mean."

"Huh?"
Levi turned around rapidly as she heard the comment from the man behind her. The moment she made eye contact with the man her scales rapidly spread from her hands and feet to the entirety of her body in a defense mechanism very similar to how a cat's fur raises when startled. She was almost certain that she had been alone when she came in here... where did this guy come from? Wasn't one of the reason she came here was so that she could be alone and wouldn't have to interact with other people?
This whole scenario was quite frustrating to her and it didn't make her feel any better that he had come in just in time to see her destroy the dojo's property. Sure, people were suppose to hit the punching bag but she doubted that the school would be very happy that she went and broke it. The chain had even torn out a very small part of the ceiling when the force from the kick disconnected it from the bag itself. A quick scan of the intruder's appearance made it quite obvious that he had come here to work out as well and that fact only made her feel worse.
Well that's just great, I broke the bag just in time to ruin this guy's workout. Why did I even come here? It would have been so much easier to just go pick a fight with some random person.
This odd self loathing that Levi was experience would only last a moment before the man in front of her sighed and she quickly returned to her normal self. She was irritated now, she was pretty certain about the meaning behind the sigh that escaped that man's lips. He was judging her and this thought triggered a chain reaction that caused a complete gear change in Levi's mood. The moment the man made his comment about her fighting style he had broken the last straw.
Going to have a bad time unless I'm fighting a statue or a punching bag?! I'll show you! We'll see what you think when I've broken a few of your ribs and maybe even an arm or two.
Aaron had done nothing wrong and hadn't acted in a hostile manner in anyway. Yet Levi felt that he was insulting her pride and poking fun of her and after Manami's earlier criticisms she wasn't going to patiently listen to them anymore. The mechanic was simply going to become a victim of Levi's short fuse and bad attitude. It didn't help that her defeat the the lighthouse was still fresh in her memory, how could she call herself the meanest creature in the sea if she kept getting beat up and critiqued on her fighting technique by complete strangers?! She was thrilled when the man challenged her to a match.
"Yea, I guess I'll have a go at you"
Before turning to face him Levi reached into her pocket and took out a hair tie. While she didn't know much about fighting she did know that it would be for the best of she could get her hair out of her face and as such she had made sure to bring the tie. With a quick motion she gathered up her long silver hair and tied it into a ponytail. Once she finished fixing her hair she turned towards her opponent.
"You ready?"

War is a hell of a thing Try to fight it, try to run. But it's arm is long, and you're just what it needs. "I am."
He'd raise his hand, waving her forward.
"Come hit me as hard as you can."
Aaron wasn't one to sound cocky. He didn't even sound cocky there. More...self assured. He wanted to get the female riled up so that she would give him everything she had, like she did to the bag just a few moments prior. His assessment was, in his own opinion, an objective opinion on what he saw from her. Still, perhaps she was just letting off some steam and needed to go at the bag hard. Perhaps he was underestimating her. It would not be the first time he had done so and he was sure it wouldn't be the last.
He flexed his hands, legs spreading to just past shoulder width apart. He dug in his heels, hands tightened into fists with arms bent and near his hips. He left his chest and midsection wide open, purposely, so that she could strike at him without worry of reprisal. He was gonna help this girl to become a serious ass kicker, and he felt like he was just the right man to do it. Those scales, that strength....she was a mean mamma jama.
He would give her the easiest of smiles, and wait patiently.

A cocky grin would spread across her lips as the man waved her towards him. However, she was in a school facility so the person in front of her had powers she wouldn't know about, while he had seen both of her abilities. She was definitely at a disadvantage when it came to the element of surprise and part of her wanted to wait for him to reveal his power before she made her move. Her instinct told her to be cautious but she wouldn't be able to take down the man in front of her unless she took the initiative and she knew it
Slowly she began to take a fighting stance, she was leaning forward on her right leg and she was on her toes. It almost looked like she was lowering herself into a sprinter's starting stance but her arms never touched the ground. If one could see beneath her sweatpants they would notice that the muscles in her legs were tensing significantly as she prepared to attack. Her plan was very simply, she was going to try to catch him off guard with a quick charge to close the distance between them and hopefully even force him to use his power. As her own excitement at the idea of a conflict increased, the extent of her transformation increased as well. Two small horns would rise out of her forehead, her teeth would sharpen to a lethal point, her eyes would snake like and yellow, and her once delicate fingertips would seem to have transformed into small scaly claws. Her eyes were focus on the man's stance, eyeing every muscle movement and flex as she tried to anticipate what he was planning though her thoughts were dragged away upon his second comment.
Hit you are hard as I can? Is he taking me light lightly?! I'll make him regret underestimating me
In an instant she would push off the wooden floor, apply a small percentage of her super strength to her legs as she propelled her self towards him. The wooden floor cracked underneath the force of legs but she had accomplished her desired results, she had launched herself towards him at a high enough speed to catch the average person completely off guard. The same as before she had no actual taught form to her attack and it was completely driven by fighting instinct, it would almost look like the assault of a wild animal. As she came within arm distance she would plant her right leg on the ground slowly down her approach considerably only to quickly attempt a grab at his shirt. The purpose of this move was to further destroy her opponents guard but altering the speed of her attack, if this was successful and she managed to get a grip on his shirt her next move would be to pull him down towards her head and deliver a brutal headbutt. Being hit by a super strength headbutt was bad enough on its own but Levi's forehead was also covered in her armor like scales and thus the impact would be far more dangerous to its victim. Levi may have never received combat training but she had gotten into plenty of fights, which gave her a considerable amount of experience. @aaron

War is a hell of a thing Try to fight it, try to run. But it's arm is long, and you're just what it needs. As she stopped and grabbed his shirt, he knew exactly what he needed to do to show her what he meant. She was intending to either strike with his other hand or pull him forward. She'd find him retaliating promptly, however, as her fingers closed around the cloth on his torso. His left hand would aim to grip her extended arm just above the elbow while His right fist would slam forward, intent to punch her square in the face, hard. If she was thrown back by it, his shirt would probably have a hole ripped out of it, but he would try and keep that grip on her right arm, which he would try to use to lift her and throw her bodily at the wall, intent to create a small crater with her body.
Assuming all went according to plan, he'd frown and look down at the knuckles of his right hand. If he'd been successful in punching her in the face, he'd notice the scales were hard. Unforgiving. She was extremely well protected within those shells. If he didn't have the strength he did, he doubted she'd have felt a thing.
He didn't want her thinking he was underestimating her. But he also wasn't one to hit someone while their down. So he'd keep his fighters stance, waiting for her return to the "battlefield".

Levi truly had no idea what she was getting herself into when she had decided to charge in for the attack, she may of had experience street fighting but this was nothing compared to the fighting skills of the man in front of her. The moment that he grabbed a hold of her arm it was over. She didn't have enough time to avoid his punch or even reposition herself to reduce the impact and a moment later her forehead and his fist collided. If he had been a normal person hitting her scales would of been the equivalent of punching a brick wall as hard as you could. His fist would have been cut to shreds and his wrist/knuckles would broken, however, he was not a normal person. Instead of hearing the cracking bones or scream of pain she was expecting Levi felt a sharp pain spread throughout her entire face. She didn't even have enough time to question what had just happened before she felt him pull at her arm as he pulled her back and threw her across the dojo into a wall.
As her body hit the wall the impact created much more than a crater as she went straight through the wall instead of just cracking it. The wooden walls of the building were not nearly strong enough to stop the combined force of Aaron's throw and the scales durability, she carried the force equivalent of a wrecking ball in full swing and an imprint of her body was smashed into the wall as she went through it. Once outside the building she found herself tumbling across the grass outside the dojo until she came to a full stop approximately fifteen feet away from her wall imprint. Her head was throbbing in pain and she felt a bit dizzy as she rose to her feet. It took her a few moments to even comprehend what happen as she look through the hole to the inside of the building. She had been stopped dead in her tracks during her attack only to be completely defenseless when her opponent had released his own attacks. However, instead of getting nervous a thrilled smile spread across her face as she began to walk back towards the building. She had found herself an opponent who rivaled or even surpassed her own power and was willing to hit her back. This man was nothing like Callum who refused to engage in conflict even after he had gained the upper hand as such she had nothing to fear from him. Leviathan was a being that fed of the thrill of conflicts and fights, to make the deal even better she knew she could learn a thing or two about fighting from her current opponent.
As she reentered the building, through the hole she had made in the wall, Aaron would find her smiling like a madman and filled with an immense amount of energy that she had not been expressing before. This wasn't to say that her wounds didn't hurt, because they hurt like hell, but the desire to grow stronger and to fight far outweighed the cries of pain from her face and back, which had absorbed the impact with the wall. She wasn't certain yet but Levi strongly felt like she had finally found her self a proper rival, someone to call her equal when it came to raw strength and someone would could be around her without ending up severely harmed in the end.
"That's quite the arm you have there, that actually stung a little. Tell me, what's your name?"
As she asked she would approach him once again until she was within arms reach. She wasn't in a fighting stance and instead had her right hand on her hip while she was stretching her left arm out to the side. She had no intention of continuing the fight until she knew the name of the man who managed to throw her through a wall and Aaron would find her yellow glowing eyes staring into his until she received her answer.

War is a hell of a thing Try to fight it, try to run. But it's arm is long, and you're just what it needs. As her body smashed through the wall, Aaron's body would release some of the tension. She was right- his hand would be a mangled mess, were it normal. He had sheer invulnerability on his side, a purely durable physical form capable of handling far more damage. Despite this, he still felt the pain of the contact, and knew her body was as hard as it looked. He stood straight, hands going into his pockets as he let his guard down entirely. She was coming back through, not on an attack vector. She seemed to want to talk, and he was more than willing to indulge her.
"Thanks. It's Aaron Hemlock. You?"
He absolutely respected the force she could generate. The sheer damage she could take. He'd not yet met someone who could take a full punch like that from him and get back up to walk it off after. Mad respect. He'd offer his hand to shake, and she'd notice despite the impact velocity, his skin was not the slightest bit broken. He'd gesture at the bag.
"Hitting that thing is impressive....but fights rarely go how we expect them to. I'm sorry if I sounded insulting earlier- I respect your strength, and those scales...some seriously scary shit."
He wasn't necessarily out to make best buds with everyone, but it also wouldn't serve to make every person he met his enemy, would it? He gave a smile, despite not really feeling it behind his eyes, putting a hand at the back of his head to give a little scratch.
"I hope I didn't....hurt you too badly."

As Aaron introduced himself and offered out his hand Levi would become enchanted by it. It was completely unscratched and there wasn't a bruise on it to be seen. She was startled, this was the hand he hit her with right? She couldn't think of a single reason he could of gotten out of punching her scales without gaining a single injury. She would still answer his question but she would sound half hearted and it would be pretty obvious she was staring at his hand and not at him.
"My name is Leviathan, though you can just call me Levi"
She observed his words carefully as he talked about how fights never go as we expect them to and her grin extended a bit as he complimented her strength. However, most of her joy came from the fact that he called her scales scary, she just loved it when she could scare people simply with her appearance. Her scales were her pride and since she was suppose to be the intimidating personality, hearing that she was scary was almost like her purpose for existing was being verified. Despite his compliments, however, Levi still had one singular thought on her mind. She wanted to fight him, a person who could punch her without severely injuring themselves and a person who could reverse her attack were both rare occurrences and she wasn't going to lose them. It was almost laughable that he was asking if she was okay, while she was spent this entire time trying to think about how to overpower him. Yet she still had an immense amount of respect for the man named Aaron and even if somehow she gained the upper hand she had no intention of causing him any serious harm.
"Don't worry about me, it would a lot more to actually hurt me. These scales of mine are basically like a suit of armor, which is why I am curious about this hand of yours"
At this point she had grabbed his hand, which had just been awkwardly sitting there as she never reached out to shake it, and would lift it up to eye level. She was scanning over it like a forensic scientist trying to look for any extra clues left at a crime scene and her eyes search for even the littlest detail that would reveal how his hand survive the impact with her scales. It would probably be incredible awkward for Aaron but Levi was never good at social interactions so how she made the man in front of her feel meant nothing to her. She respect his immense power but that didn't mean she was willing to open up to him, he was just an opponent she could learn from.
"I've never seen anyone hit my scales at full force and come out completely unharmed... Tell me, how is your hand not shattered right now?

War is a hell of a thing Try to fight it, try to run. But it's arm is long, and you're just what it needs. Leviathan. Like the water dragon? He still held his hand out as she examined him, trying his best not to chuckle at her surprise. This one was a curious girl. He'd let her take his hand and search it over, not feeling awkward in the slightest. It took quite a bit to put him off his game. He'd give a little half shrug, taking his hand back gently and flexing his fingers.
"I've always had an iron hide. It takes a lot to get under my skin, I guess. I've never broken a bone, and it's been years since I've seen my own blood."
He couldn't remember a time when something had been able to injure him in any big way. He was, in his own opinion, a human tank. He could take just as well as he dished out. This girl wasn't far from that either, considering the power she held in her corner and the suit of armor she pulled over her skin. He would reach up and remove his necklace, walking over and hastily stuffing it inside his duffle bag. If they were going to continue, he didn't want to risk the piece of jewelry getting ripped off or destroyed. He left the ring on, fairly certain he wouldn't have to worry too much about it. Then, he returned to his feet and would walk over to her, tilting his head in order to crack his neck on both sides.
"You ready to continue?"
Assuming she gave him the affirmative, Aarons left leg would shift further left, his left hand open and lifted up, palm facing out while his right hand would clench and dart out for a snap jab into Levi's face. It was direct, intent to do fast and sharp damage so that he could try and keep her at close range. She wanted to continue the scrap, he'd make sure she'd learn quick with a fast punch while maintaining defense.
That was the idea, anyway.

From what she could tell it sounded like Aaron had some sort of ability that give his hide incredible strength just like her scales. The fact that he had gotten out of punching her completely unharmed made much more sense to her now but the issue still remained how she was going to break through this armor of his and gain the upper hand. She didn't know whether his protection was like her own, where it protect from serious damage but pain could still be felt or if his whole body was reinforced through and through. These were the kinds of question she would have to answer by facing him and combat. Testing attacks and seeing what worked and what didn't seemed like her only option at the moment if she planned on even attempting fighting Aaron.
"Is that necklace something important to you?"
She had watched and he quickly went over to his bag to put it away before returning. She was curious since he took of the necklace but left the ring on his finger. Was he removing the necklace to make sure it didn't get in the way? Was he afraid it would get damaged? Did he just care about the necklace more than the ring? These kinds of question where the ones going through Levi's head and while they were completely unrelated to the current situation she was trying to gather as much information as possible about her opponent before they started again. At least that would be her explanation for her current train of thought but the real reason was that even though both Manami and Levi were to separate personalities they both had a innate curiosity for everything around them, especially when it was someone or something they knew nothing about though Levi's curiosity gets thrown out the window once she becomes angry. Her internal question about the necklace were quickly abandon, however, as Aaron ask her if she was ready to continue.
As if it was an instinctually reaction she perked up the instant the idea of continuing the fight was mentioned and she quickly assumed a fighting stance, she had turned her body so that it was perpendicular to Aaron giving him less of a target to aim for when his attack did finally begin. She made direct eye contact with him before opening her mouth.
"Lets begin"
In the moment these words came out of her mouth Aaron attacked began and she almost didn't find enough time to react to his rapid attack. She would shift her weight causing her balance to break thus moving her head just out of the path his punch as she fell towards the ground. As she fell she would plant her right arm on the ground and swing her left leg around towards the back of Aaron's legs in an attempt to knock his legs out from under him. @aaron
