"If I'd known they were going to refer to me just by the title, I'd have picked something less pretentious." Atsuro shrugs slightly. It had seemed appropriate at the time to pick a verse out of the Christian Bible.
"Good luck to you, too." He fingers the gun - the Evoker - in his hands as he begins to take his steps. It wasn't difficult to guess the concept. His Persona had first emerged when he'd been in mortal danger, and on subsequent occasions, only after he'd suffered a few blows. The rush of adrenaline, the sense of imminent danger, that moment right before receiving a blow when you knew you were microseconds away from writhing on the ground in pain... This was what was required to draw forth the Persona.
Still. Wasn't this a little excessive?
He can hear the simulated gunshot before he even has a chance to take his tenth step. Atsuro whirls around in an instant; there's no time for further reflection. "Hey - I'm not your target here." He wonders if being struck by Narasimha would disqualify his opponent, but that's not quite what he's going for. In the space of... well, a gunshot, a young man wreathed in rushing streams of water appears before him to defend, holding up an iron rod to defend against the blow. The force of the clash causes it to stagger back a step before it recovers, retaliating with a sharp blow to the head. A Skull Cracker, with the chance of Confusion amplified by Enki's first Passive skill.
