> Continue kicking the asses of all Oni that start attacking us.
> How powerful are we physically? Are we more powerful then an Oni in term of pure power?
> What makes us think the theif went to the Underground?
> You meet an oncoming Oni's rush with your own, your right arm stretched out to your side to land a bonecrushing clothesline, spinning the Oni round head-over-feet.
> Your momentum barely halted, you leap feet-first, spin yourself to fly sideways through the air, wrap your leg around an Oni's neck, wrap your arm around
another Oni's neck, and send both crashing backwards into the cave wall, using their bodies to soften the impact for yourself. You leave a vast crater in the wall.

Brawling:
5++. You are able to perform superhuman feats of strength beyond even those granted by magic or supernatural ability - you could easily arm-wrestle a typical Oni. You are absurdly tough, able to shrug off blows that would knock down stone walls. Your endurance allows you to keep going for days on end.
>
Martial Arts:
2. Your vast physical power comes at the price of limited technique. To counteract this, you are proficient in wrestling moves and powerful takedowns, which do not require many attacks to incapacitate an opponent. As a practitioner of magic, your Martial Arts also determines the maximum Potency of magical effects used.
> Your Hakkero went missing at the same time you were visited by the mysterious Inside Informant, who claimed to be operating temporarily from the Underground.
>Marisa: Contemplate the Enigma of Steel while keeping the pain train coming.
>Akyu: Into the Caverness!
> You are not a God, not an Oni, but a mere human. In this world, there is little you can truly trust. But in these - your muscles, strong and tough as thousand-folded steel - your trust lies absolute!
> Akyu is currently too busy braving an arduous, but ultimately uninteresting, initial descent down the path to the Underground for you to be her. Furthermore, your ability to use [S
] has not recharged yet.
Wow. Marisa just became a little more Cho. It is a wonderful thing.
>Assess combat durability of Broomstick. If good, become the Tempest, mule kicking, back knuckling, swinging, spinning, thrusting: anyone within a 3 meter radius should feel threatened. If it is becoming overwhelming with the bodies, jet away.
>How does losing our spell focus affect our active spell repertoire?
> Your Broomstick is a faithful and loyal friend, but it is like a twig in your mighty hands when you go all-out. Best to rely on tried-and-true techniques.
> The horde of Oni does not lessen. You squat down, then, with a thrust that turns the rock beneath you to rubble, launch yourself dozens of metres through the air towards the vast structure in the distance - the Palace of Earth Spirits, quickly leaving the largest mass of Oni behind.
> Your Hakkero vastly boosts your magical aptitude, enabling you to use the Potency:
4 Spell Card Love Sign:
Master Spark, and its Potency:
5+ variation. You are otherwise able to use Potency:
2 danmaku and Spell Cards normally.
> A vast boulder, twice your height, comes barreling at you from the side as you are in the middle of another prodigious leap. You dodge just in time to see the red-horned Oni, who had been holding on to it mid-flight, her fingers embedded deep in the rock, leap off straight at you, winding up a punch crackling with energy, screaming a battle cry.
