Through his lenses, Dimitri looks on, watching the young man limber up. A smart move on his part. With young bones and joints, it is less likely to have an injury when performing a high pace activity such as this, but it doesn’t prevent it. Perhaps the young man wishes to go all out against him, regardless, Dimitri does nothing still. His position stands motionless, becoming like stone yet capable of instantaneous movement should he need to move. However, while nothing happens on the outside, on the inside Dimitri channels his Reiryoku into the cane. No glow, no tremble, nothing happens but the subtle deposit of his Reiryoku into the item within his hands. It goes on even when the young man begins to allow his own spiritual power to spike and taper off, causing his image to become obscured somewhat.
Still limbering up, he’d allow for his movement to disguise his transition to Hirenkyaku. Such high-speeds do not go unnoticed by Dimitri, yet his eyes do not spend time trying to keep up, he simply allows his senses to take care of that. Arriving at his blindside with the use of his spirit weapon, he releases two sets of arrows and Dimitri rotates fluidly in conjunction. Wielding his cane in just one hand at this point, he used it to deflect each projectile away from his position, moving it through consecutive strikes in order to do so. Finishing his 180-degree turn like so, the young man is gone, repeating the same process with rapid movements. Switching locations, from the ceiling to the wall, to the ground, etc. He’d take advantage of the building they stood in and his past training would show. However, Dimitri stands capable of not only following his movements and remaining in this singular spot but also being able to deflect each Arrow that comes his way. Each motion came without any effort, not a bead of sweat coming down his head. His movements became something similar to dance as if he had played these motions for years.
Dimitri remains in full control of each action, and finally, the young man comes to a stop just a few feet out, no longer supported by his weapon or any reishi licking the tips of fingers. Whether he could conjure his weapon as fast as he did before, it made no difference to Dimitri who had moved, via his own Hirenkyaku concurrently to him ceasing his rapid movements. The Elderly man is now upon him, likely catching him off guard due to his speed. Standing at his front with the bottom of his Cane heading towards his torso as if meaning to strike him with blunt force. Before it could ever make contact, a force of spiritual energy is released outward from the cane at point-blank range. A shockwave is produced, spreading outward in a 360-degree radius and at such speed and with such force the young man will be blown off his feet and into the very wall, ultimately crashing through it with minor injuries to come.
