Torio Yasuyuki

**Torio Yasuyuki** (鳥尾 康 行, *Torio Yeesuuuki*) this army-tailored teen has a thirst for adventure and action. Now having the freedom from his life at the Cambium Knights Naval Base, he has taken up home with a group of powerful mercenaries, earning him the title of Cinder despite Torio thinking of himself as "a spirit free from control". Being a warrior dealing with strength, speed, and intellect, many of the city's citizens have come to call him the **Golden Banshee** (黄金のバンシー, *Kogane no Banshī*) for his keen use of Sound Magic to take down foes. With only one year left of freedom before the Cambium agents take him back for recruitment Torio hopes to have as many adventures as he can with his teammates and make as many fun memories as possible.

## Appearance

A rather well built teen, Torio's muscular frame stands tall and proper with his arms at attention from years of conditioning in the family of Cambium Knights. With his break in independence, Torio let his golden hair grow out longer into a tousled spiked dew that is held down by special headphones made to block out the sound from his enhanced ears. Purple eyes set in a sharp jawline give him a uniquely handsome profile, as well as hint at the unique physiology that runs underneath his pale skin.

He wears a dark blue gakuran and keeps only one button in place, his collar upturned to give him an edge. The rest of the buttons are unbuttoned to reveal a yellow undershirt beneath the uniform. Torio also wears jeans and a pair of tennis shoes with black, white and gold tones. His casual attire help him blend in with the teen world, as well as give him a flexibility while running and fighting. The bottom of his tennis shoes are worn down from his constant travel on skateboard, a past time he has come to love.

## Personality

Although Torio would be considered an “Army Brat”, only one of those words are actually true. His father was actually a member of the Cambium Knights, an elite organization akin to the Navy Seals of other nation, with his home serving as a naval base off the coast of Fiore. The “brat” part of the statement is a bit more towards the truth, if you ask any of the soldiers who were tasked with keeping an eye on him. Because his father was an O-3 Lieutenant, Torio was left alone a great deal of time while being forced to go to advanced education courses, as well as the military’s own soldier classes to prepare him to “follow in his father’s footsteps”. Although Torio does enjoy learning, and rather excelled in the areas of combat, science, and mathematics; his free spirit did not sit well with the structured sense of behavior expected of a soldier. Torio was well-known throughout the base for his mischievous behavior and troublesome attitude. He is rather crafty, enjoying himself when pulling pranks and verbal traps to make others feel dumbfounded. His loud, and somewhat obnoxious, rants drew attention of many soldiers during the silence of being at attention.

But Torio has been known to ease the tension within a group, earning a laugh or two and his own expense. His confidence in a matter, albeit wrong or not, causes a sense of ease with his fellow comrades as he is always optimistic and believes in the best of his teammates and their capabilities. Despite his “trouble making” and independent personality, he has a great respect for his teammates and their abilities, believing each and every one of them has their own special talents, and will often be seen hanging around in their company with his headphones on.
He is shown to be skilled in fighting, trickery, and manipulation, and takes great pleasure in showing his strengths. He excels at using weaponry, foul play, and any manipulation of sound; having taken a vested interest in the sonar technology at his naval home. He can be seen rather relaxed most of the time, but when in a fight his persona changes to a fast paced devil who has no qualms about hurting others. His ability to pick up on subtleties in a person’s demeanor, and his enhanced hearing capable of seemingly “reading their mind”, makes him a sinister opponent who won’t hold back in punches or in verbal humiliation. Torio likes to humiliate his opponent, resulting to childlike deeds as stuffing ghost peppers up a defeated opponent’s nose; or gagging them with a thick ball of wasabi.

Despite all this, Torio actually has a good sense of moral justice and belief in the people. Like his fellow outsiders he aims to help others realize their own strengths and act on them, rather than follow the rules set forth for them by the Toranku 15. He enjoys his new life away from the naval base, and has mentally adopted his teammates as his family; continuously training in secret to better protect them when it counts.

## History

Having been taken from his mother’s arms into his uncles, after his mother passed away in childbirth, Torio had become attune to the military lifestyle that his now-father had placed him into. He had no trouble seeing his uncle as a father figure, and called him “dad” from the moment he could speak. He became in sync with the fast pace intellectual challenges, and physically demanding workout regime taught to him in the Naval Base of Cambium Knights off the coast of Hylion. When he began to walk, is when he began to run. Becoming as fit as a new recruit to the base by the age of nine. Due to his flexibility and lean physique, he could outclass even the most agile of recruits, earning him special marks in his father’s book. His education went hand in hand with his physical training. Sitting in on the Cambium Knights specialty courses, as well as attending his own private lessons. Torio excelled in the areas of mathematics and sciences, skyrocketing in these areas, even able to understand and shadow the sonar technicians in their use of the highly interesting sound wave location instrument. His intelligence and physical abilities were seen by his father, and other O-5 Commanders of the military branch, as one of the most promising individuals for recruitment when Torio manages to turn eighteen. This would put him on par with another outstanding individual who was recruited to the organization at a very young age, a man who later went on to be a powerhouse among the elite in another nation.

Given his prowess in both physical and intellectual areas, it was no sweat to pick up the art of using magic by the time he was ten. His understanding of the human body, and it’s integration with the magic system, made it possible for him to use this power to enhance his capabilities beyond their limits. His strength became stronger than an entire platoon combined. His speed became faster than that of a military grade speed boat. His body was constantly evolving and learning new ways to integrate his Ki to maximize his physical output, information processing speed, and metabolic processes. He was even able to apply his knowledge gained behind the shadow of sonar technicians to manipulate his Ki into producing sound waves. His new ability at Sound Magic was greatly researched, Torio spending countless hours in the library trying to figure new ways to improve it. But it was this ability that led to his personality shift, due to the overbearing persistence of his father.

His father had always stressed the idea that Torio would follow in his footsteps and become a commander in the Cambium Knights one day; and Torio was fine with this idea when he was younger. But as he entered his teens the push from his father, and other military men, to become stronger loomed over him and made things such as learning and training less enjoyable. They always told him it was to better prepare him for when he was a legal adult and would join the ranks of the Cambium Knights, but Torio stressed that he had been watching it his whole life and knew what to expect. This didn’t stop them from pushing him past his breaking point. Torio revolted by lashing out with bad behavior and not holding back his thoughts anymore. He pulled pranks on the higher officers and verbally taunted and humiliated the lieutenants that dared challenge him on obstacle courses. Anything he had to do to show he wasn’t fit for the military life his father so hoped for him.

But his father wouldn’t give up. He attributed this “new” attitude to Torio’s lack of exposure to the outside world, and deemed that a few years of freedom would give him the outlet he needed to express himself and clean up his ways before returning back to the base. So with the condition of return on his eighteenth birthday, Torio set forth in his fifteenth year to explore the world and stumble his way into a group of likeminded individuals known as \_\_\_\_

## Magical Abilities

**Strengthening Magic** (激化の魔法, *Gekika no Mahō*): This magic is a considered to be one the simplest magics a Mage could possibly learn, and so Torio has come to master such a skill from his young age. But because of such simplicity, it's considered to be one of the most useful and flexible by-far. The only way to properly utilize this form of magic is because of the fine control Torio has over his magical energy. By flowing magical energy to certain parts of his body, the function of said parts become enhanced so long as magical power is flowing through it. This allows Torio to enter hand-to-hand combat, his specialty, making his blows much more devastating. It also allows him to become so-called "superhuman" — allowing him to perform feats that no normal person is able to do. Aspects such as enhanced strength or speed are common, using the Ki to enhance physiological processes, but with Torio his magic gives him a great concussive power.

It's been discovered that the magic is not only limited to just certain body parts. It can be used to enhance Torio's weapons, clothing, and other objects as well — increasing said properties to a certain degree. This means the defensive power of something simple as clothes can be increased nearly ten-fold; or the cutting power of a sword can be increased to astronomical degrees, letting Torio cut through objects he couldn't cut through before. This is because the high amounts of concentrated energy is compressed at a single point, increasing its given stats respectively. Through the use of this magic, even the simplest of weapons can carry the most danger, something that's effective for Torio in battle. A trait of this magic that Torio takes advantage of for long range combat, is that the collected energy can be fired off in small bursts. This turns it into a long-range weapon, carry great piercing power. It's been seen that Torio has been able to break through the Defenser of many other mages by using this method. Albeit, it could be done through the enhancement of their given parts. Because its' simple Ki Manipulation taken to the next level, this method is possible. Because the blasts are concentrated, even a small burst can cause major damage to the target in question. It should be noted that the blasts can be fired from his body part or a weapon. Not only that, because it's pure energy, it can be manipulated in any way Torio sees fit. This mean that the blast can shaped into spheres, shapes of animals, arcs, or other forms. It's shape and usage is only limited by Torio's imagination. This particular trait makes this magic even more feared, yet at the same time, simple in nature.

* **Fist of Honos** (ホノスの拳, *Honosu no Ken*): Named after a god of war, this is Torio's main punching style attack, serving as a main transference of the energy obtained through his strengthening magic. This requires no stance or incantation, making it highly unpredictable in it's use and execution. Torio only needs to clench his fist before concentrating a deal of Ki obtained from the activation of their magic into to extremity. This energy, unlike many aura attacks, is actually kept beneath the surface of the skin, continually circulating within the extremity to build up a great deal of kinetic pressure. When Torio launches his fist forward in a smooth and seamless motion, he is able to transfer his weight into his thrust like a typical punch, but as soon as contact with a target is made, Torio releases the stored energy in his fist directly into the targt. The expulsion of such contained energy directly into a being releases a powerful concussive force, with the energy from the Ki molecules moving thousands of times per second, spreading out in a concentric flurry of shockwaves. The force can be likened to be struck in the body with a speeding cannonball, and the shockwaves seemingly break apart the blood vessels in a human's body, leaving them with severe bruising and potential internal bleeding dependent on the charging time of the fist; the attack is actually derived from Torio's understanding of Kenpo and can devastate even the largest of opponents. This can be used in combination with his High Speed magic to give him additional force, and can also be used with a variety of martial arts.
	+ **Virility Blast** (男らしブラスト, *Otokorashi Bura Suto*): A modification on the Fist of Honos this powerful energy attack is on of the more sparingly used attacks due to the amount of etherano it takes to perform. Following the same steps of concentrating Ki into his fists, Torio will charge up a great deal of Ki. He will presume a wide stance with his legs to give him optimal balance and will put his wrists together in a similar fashion to his sound magic. Thrusting his arms forward with a great deal of force he will release a highly concentrated blast of energy that could completely decimate entire portions of cities in an instant. Virility Blast has the devastating ability to destroy organic material it comes into contact with such as blood, skin, and the like. When used in close quarters, Virility has the propensity to obliterate the target from existence, leaving nothing behind. This is due to the heightening powers of Strengthing Magic on Torio's immense Ki, making the particles of his energy highly adept at effectively "blasting through" any sort of molecular construct. This attack, depending on the duration, drains Torio's magic levels to almost zero and leaves the skin of his hands raw to the elements, as the blast itself eats away at the skin of its origin. This move has been called by Dragon Slayers, "a roar of a dragon"; making it highly fearsome to any of those who happen to be on the receiving end. Though organic matter has been proven ineffective, magical constructs such as a slayer's roar or a barrier spell, have been seen to be useful in slowing down the Ki's virility to help prevent it's devastating effects however.

* **Sangha’s Fury** (サンガの怒り, *Sanga no Ikari*): This technique is powered by Torio’s keen aura manipulation skills to give him incredibly destructive force. The sudden increase in strength results in Torio’s Ki to shoot out from his body in a flame like aura that he then concentrates in his fists. With skillful precision, the aura around his fist takes on a tiger-like appearance with its mouth poised open and ready to bite. It is as this point that Torio has two different attacking methods. One, by thrusting his clenched fist toward his target, he is able to utilize the tigers themselves by expelling the Ki attack towards the opponent; causing it to strike down on the target's location with the full force of their bite. The unique shape of the tiger’s mouth, when combined with the incredible speed of the throw, will actually create a vacuum pocket within the mouth. When slowed down, or when the pocket is disrupted, it will actually pull nearby objects into its highly explosive Ki. The second method is a more traditional combat strike with the tigers stationed on his fists. Torio will traditionally combine this with his High Speed Magic to give it a higher chance of success. The blow carries not only Torio's impressive strength, but the added concussive force carried by the speed and explosive power of the Ki. The force of the punches is so strong that it creates a shock wave that passes through the target's form and emits outward, damaging those in a linear direction.

**Sound Magic** (サウンド・マジック, *Saundo Majikku*) This magic allows Torio to perceive, generate and manipulate any type of sound, attacking the opponents with sounds of various intensity. The way that Sound Magic is initiated is by Torio projecting their magical energy outwards through his mouth with a yell or even a whisper, causing the magical energy to react with the ambient eternano within the atmosphere, triggering the usual fusion to manifest a spell—but in this case, it will produce the sound-manipulating effects that the user desires. With it, Torio can create and modify sound waves to mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as powerful physical force and high-speed movement. Torio can create powerful sound waves from any part of their body or anywhere in the nearby surroundings, making it effective for mid-range to long-range combat. With it, Torio is able to increase sounds, for example when they use their power, it allows them to increase the sound of their voice to be so powerful that it can create craters and move heavy objects.

Depending on how much sound is generated, and the pressure in it, Sound Magic can easily deafen Torio's opponents. In addition, the sound waves can even be strong enough to destroy buildings with ease and can kill multiple people. A proper use of this magic is to hear a person's very soul, allowing the user to tell if they are scared, what are they going to do next, and even their thoughts. This ability is so accurate that it was actually confused as mind reading; though this only seems to work when the person's "voice" they are listening to is thinking, or has memories. Sound Magic produces high-speed vibrations which can be applied to several techniques. This can be applied into many situations, including the ability to enhance the cutting power of her blade or activating a high-pitched sound which can disable any opponent.

Torio is also able to increase his speed to incredible levels to the point where they are able to move at the speed of sound; when adding their spell speed into the mixture, they move so fast that it is an inevitability that the opponent will be unable to track their movements, let alone hit them. Sound Magic produces high-speed vibrations which can be applied to several techniques. This can be applied into many situations, including the ability to enhance the cutting power of their blade or activating a high-pitched sound which can disable any opponent. At low frequencies, sound is potentially fatal to living beings by causing internal damage, while high frequencies cannot be heard by normal humans but can be used for sonar-like effects. Since sound vibrations can travel through the air, ground, water and any form of medium, defense by using physical barriers is difficult. The vibrations can also affect at a molecular level. In essence, sound is an invisible, deadly weapon and a versatile tool. Taking the simple power of manipulating various sounds further, Torio is capable of exaggerating these properties, in order to grant them the ability to do all the same, but on a vastly greater scale. This allows him to emit sonic booms from their body, silence the area so that not even a single sound will escape, and allow various objects, or even people, to become "soundproof"—in other words, they can make themselves or their target immune to sound in its entirety.

* **Nekodamashi** (猫騙し, ねこだまし): A technique Torio picked up, and slightly altered, from watching sumo wrestlers in the ring. This technique is usually done to surprise an opponent by doing a loud, unsuspected clap in front of their face to cause them to lapse in focus as well as close their eyes to open themselves up for a strike. Torio has managed to amplify this technique through his Sound Magic by amplifying the wavelength and altering the pitch to cause a petrifying effect. Torio will read the opponents stance, facial feature, magical pressure, heart rate, breathing pattern, and muscle twitches to determine when there is a relative gap in concentration, or an opening where they let their guard down; as well as the state of mind in which the person is highly susceptible to outside stimuli such as Nekodamashi. This sudden release of sound resonates at a frequency in the brain that is an inverse to the natural synaptic transmission frequency, cause the opponent to lose mobility for around five seconds; a time ample enough for Torio to execute a hard hitting kick or a one-punch KO.
* **Voice Mimicry** (音声擬態, *Onsei Gitai*): Used heavily in reconnaissance and jobs, Torio is able to adjust the output of his vocal chords to mimic any sound he has heard or is able to listen to for a duration of fifteen seconds. This mimicry is highly effective in infiltration and bypassing vocal scanners, as well as confusing the enemy through phone calls and misleading directions in groups. He can use this to manipulate and scare an opponent by releasing large explosion sounds, or even throwing his voice to mislead the direction in which her attack is coming from.

* **Sonic Pulse** (音波パルス, *Onpa Parusu*): Torio can create a counter vibrating frequency to cancel out another object's natural vibrational frequency, thereby causing it to shatter. This ability takes advantage of the ideal that everything; including objects, living creatures, immaterial creatures, space, time, matter, energy, and so on, gives off a vibrating frequency, and by emitting an opposing frequency, both the frequency and the object are destroyed. However there is a limit as to what Torio is able to destroy using this counter-soundwave. Due to the limit in his skill right now, she is only able to determine the resonate frequency for static material objects after hearing their emission from hitting another object. This is extremely useful when it comes to battle during those who rely on weapons or armors, as he is able to determine the opponent’s weapon frequency when it clashes with his own, which allows him to emit a sound wave to help destabilize the molecular structure of the blade and cause it to lose its effective shape. This can typically be done through the emission through his hands, or his vocal chords. He is also able to let forth a scream to resonate against various structures such as stone walls, concrete barriers, brick buildings, and of course shatter glass.
* **Acoustic Wall** (音響壁, *Onkyō Kabe*): Using the same principles as Sonokinetic Flight, Torio is able to emit a frequency to help repel objects and attacks. This attack usual expands with a twenty-five foot diameter of optimal effectiveness, but has a five foot buff of effectiveness dependent on the strength of the offending attack and the dissipation of the sound waves in the medium. This can go one of two ways, with a high frequency wall or a low frequency wall, and is a choice Torio will decide when he is facing the opponent. Typically a high frequency wall is used, around 29,000 Hz to avoid hearing damage, as it can repel most physical items include those of the liquid nature; but when facing an opponent who uses fire, he will take on a low frequency approach. Ranging from 30 to 60Hz, soundwaves have been proven to extinguish flames, as the difference between the high-pressure peak and low-pressure trough in the sound wave is large enough to douse the flame.
* **Sonokinetic Flight**  (ソンッキネティクフライト, *Sonkkinetiku Furaito*): Through the emission of two unique sound waves to surround him, these sound waves will be at frequencies slightly above the audible range--roughly 22 kilohertz. When these sound waves are precisely aligned, it creates two sets of sound waves that perfectly interfere with each other, setting up a phenomenon known as a "standing wave". At certain points along a standing wave, known as nodes, there is no net transfer of energy. Because the acoustic pressure from the sound waves is sufficient to cancel the effect of gravity, he is able to levitate when placed at the nodes. This requires a great deal of concentration for his to maintain levitation. He will usually emit these frequencies through Ki emission in his feet, palms, and other various joints along his body to help maintain equilibrium in the air, as well as provide a method to advance his propulsion to that of the speed of sound.
* **Sonokinetic Shield**  (ソンッキネティク盾, *Sonkkinetiku Shīrudo*)**:** The most basic of his defensive spells, Torio can form a multitude of sonokinetic shields of varying shape and thickness, functioning independent of one another. This barrier is made up of highly vibrational Ki molecules, making it impossible for even mages of the highest skill to manipulate or consume. These barrier particles vibrate in such a way that, even though they can be broken with a fairly strong attack, they can withstand most weapon attacks, physical attacks, and projectile attacks from that of an average mage. The dimensions of this barrier is typically only two to three inches thick, but is fluid enough to cover a variety of objects in a 120 square feet area. They also are not bound by earthly ties, meaning that the barrier itself does not have to have an anchor and can freely float and move alongside Torio should he use it as a shield. This also means that even if a mage does happen to break out of the barrier, Torio can simply manipulate it to stretch back around the target, and then reinforce it so it doesn’t happen again. The benefit is that this construct can be made a multitude of ways, from the typical Sound Mage way of vibrating the Ki through his vocal chords; or he can use ambient sound waves made from a snap of his fingers to the stomp of his foot. This helps him avoid exposing his insides to the likes of poison gas or other inhalable substances before he can erect a shield.

* **Techno Fist** (テクノ拳, *Tekuno Ken*): Cupping his hands together, this attack can be performed in various levels dependent on the level of strength desired from the output as well as the standing frequency of the target. For the first stage of the fist, an output of a low frequency sound is released into a contained space to resonate. For this, Torio will cup his hands together by holding the wrists together and keeping the palms open. He will then extend his fingers towards the center of his palm and begin emitting a certain frequency of Ki from them, keeping the force contained within the space in front of him. His fingers act like buffers for the sound to resonate back and forth, the waves altering their pitch until it reaches the correct frequency to disrupt the construct of the target in front of Torio and deal substantial force. This pulse of sound feels like a freight train hitting dead on in the chest, as well as having the potential to rupture the ear drum of a target that is hit. Once the correct frequency is reached, Torio will push forth a large surge of Ki from the middle of his palms, breaking the containment he had on the mass and sending the blast of sound forward in a beam towards her target at a resounding speed. The pulse is able to be sent out in a shot of three different bursts, and dependent on the frequency, it does not take long to repeat.
* **Song of the Lily** (ユリの歌, *Yuri no Uta)*: Hearing this progression of notes causes a mage to feel extremely drowsy and practically fall asleep. This attack relies on what is known as binaural beats to help slow the target’s brain wave pattern from a normal waking Beta frequency to a slower Alpha frequency, then to a slower Theta frequency (the brainwaves when we are dreaming), and finally to Delta waves (the brainwave frequencies of deep sleep). Scientists have stated that, “Within the sound processing centers of the brain, pulse stimulation provides relevant information to the higher centers of the brain. In the case of a [two different wave forms] the electron pulse rate in one part of a sound-processing center is greater than in another. The differences in electron pulse stimulation within the sound processing centers of the brain are an anomaly. This anomaly (the difference in electron pulse stimulation) comes and goes as the two different frequency waves mesh in and out of phase. As a result of these constantly increasing and decreasing differences in electron pulse stimulation, an amplitude modulated standing wave (the binaural beat) is generated within the sound processing centers of the brain itself. It is this standing wave which acts to entrain brain waves.” By emitting these two alternating waves from each of her hands, Torio is able to adjust the frequency slowly to lure the target to sleep. Because this frequency is in tune with the natural wave frequency of the brain, a target will not be able to hear the song start, only begin to notice as they are starting to get drowsy and sluggish as their brain begins to adjust to the emitted binaural beats.
* **Song of the Lotus** (蓮の歌, *Hasu no Uta*): A high pressure sound wave whose frequency and intensity can cause extreme nausea and disorientation in those who hear it. These sounds waves will shift the endolymph within the three semicircular canals of the ears, causing the hairs within the ampule to depolarize and send a signal via the vestibular nerve to tell the brain the position of the body. When these signals originating from the ear do not match up with the signals perceived from the visual cortex, the body cannot determine its correct orientation and the target will become extremely nauseous. Its effects have been described as being as severe as a Dragon Slayers motion sickness; forcing a mage to remain motionless unless they dare suffer projectile vomiting.
* **Death Song** (死の歌, *Shi no Uta*)**:** Though not actually causing death, this attack of infrasonic sound can cause an unfamiliar mage to go into a severe panic attack, as well as cause lasting damage to the eyes and eyes if sustained long enough. The low frequency of infrasonic sound and its corresponding long wavelength makes it much more capable of bending around or penetrating your body, creating an oscillating pressure system. Depending on the frequency, different parts of the body will resonate, which can have very unusual non-auditory effects. For example, Torio will start off the song at 19Hz. This will cause the opponents eyes to twitch; and as he turns up the volume to approach 110 dB, his opponent will start seeing colored lights at the periphery of their vision or ghostly gray regions in the center. This is because 19Hz is the resonant frequency of the human eyeball. The low-frequency pulsations start distorting the eyeball's shape and pushing on the retina, activating the rods and cones by pressure rather than light. Torio will then slowly increase the song and alter the Hz to allow for different effects. At 130 dB, the inner ear will start undergoing direct pressure distortions unrelated to normal hearing, which can affect her target’s ability to understand speech. At about 150 dB, people start complaining about nausea and whole body vibrations, usually in the chest and abdomen. By the time 166 dB is reached, they will start noticing problems breathing, as the low-frequency pulses start impacting the lungs, reaching a critical point at about 177 dB, when infrasound from 0.5 to 8Hz can actually drive sonically induced artificial respiration at an abnormal rhythm. This combination of infrasonic effects practically immobilizes a mage, robbing them of two vital senses as well as inducing hyperventilation. This allows him to easily bypass a mage’s defenses and subdue them.

**Speed Magic** (神足, ハイスピード *Hai Supīdo*):This magic allows Torio to move at extremely fast speeds. It has various offensive and defensive properties. Using its inherent nature of being able to increase their speed and reaction time proportionally, Torio is able to dodge virtually any direct attack launched against him.

* **Flash Strike***(フラッシュスト Furasshusuto)*: With his tanto at the ready, he will use his High Speed to charge at an opponent head on. Because of the unusually high speed, and afterimage is created that makes it appear as if he is running normally, or even slower than he would usually do. With his opponent usually distracted by the afterimage, as it appears to be still running straight on, he runs past the opponent and slashes them in the back. The opponent is almost always caught off guard and unable to counter this move without expending a great deal of energy.
* **Falcon Heavenward** (隼天翔 *Hayabusa Tenshō*): A fairly basic High Speed spell in which Torio will rush in head first, gradually lowering his body position to get more power in his upcoming strike. Once upon the enemy, a feat that typically is accomplished in miliseconds, Torio will spring up to unleash a kick upon the target's body that is strong enough to send them flying up into the air.
* **Omnidirectional Assault** (無指向性暴行, Mu Shikō-sei Bōkō): An attack that relies heavily on the ability to change direction, meaning that it's speed is slower than normal to allow for quicker changes, but still registered at around 105 MPH, a speed far greater than an human's ability to alter their body's direction. Torio will use this to continuously circle his target, unleashing a barrage of hits and kicks on the body of his target. He will typically aim at the pressure points of his target to render them ineffective in battle, or even unconscious if he is able to have enough time to hit the correct pressure points

## Physical Abilities

**High Magical Power**: Torio has an enormous amount of magical power which is finely controlled and developed over years of high level training granted to him from some of Ishgar's most elite mages. This level of magical power is reflected in its ability to enhance Torio during combat as well as its ability to affect the surrounding environment on a controlled level, allowing Torio to produce spells of startling degrees. While he usually keeps it under control, when sufficiently angered, he can release it to its full extent. This magical energy explodes in the form of a powerful pressure; causing an overwhelming force to be released from his body, and causes a shockwave to crater the earth; infecting the ground around him to enable small chunks of rock to float upwards just by his mere presence. This technique certainly allows Torio to appear incredibly fearsome, as even those with poor magical sensing abilities will feel the strength of the power contained within him. Because of his mastery over spells, Torio has a natural control over the exertion of his magical energy, keeping it contained to the point where it is virtually impossible to detect him by normal means, though the constant effort can be taxing. This precise control over his Ki extends to his skillful manipulation of his magical energy and regulated output during spell casting, enabling him to control it to soaring heights that many other mages could never imagine.

* **Magical Aura** (*魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki)*: A Magical Aura is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of Torio's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation. A magical aura is created when the body's container of Eternano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by Torio. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. A single magical aura can have a wide variety of effects dependent on the power an individual exerts, which will be outlined in the following sections. A standard aura is produced by mages with a moderate level of magical power within their body. By exerting it outward, it forms a thin layer of pressure that can cause one to be intimidated if they aren't a mage, or if they are a rather weak mage. This is generally demonstrated by individuals of Gold Rank strength when they are holding back, or when standard mages are showing that they are entering their full reserves of power. It should be noted that the density of this aura, by a Gold Rank mage, can cause physical attacks to be repelled with notable ease. Torio, being that of only a novice mage but an expert in Ki manipulation, is able to give off an aura capable of repelling so projectiles or morphing into a fearsome beast for intimidation. Although typically not resulting to such wasteful measures, Torio's aura has been seen to be a blueish white color that is somewhat translucent, although when he is truly angry and giving it his all, his Ki takes on a more of a red orange color.

* **Expert** **Ki Manipulation:**  From the get go Torio had been somewhat of a protegee when it came to drawing in ambient Ki from the atmosphere; even able to do it kinetically, rather than through traditional means of meditation. He has the additional capabilities of absorbing Ki into his \_\_\_\_, as well as manipulating the Ki for offensive, defensive, and supportive purposes in any way that he wishes; although it still requires a great deal of concentration for him to harness ambient Ki, and so it isn't used in battle frequently. This manipulation plays a crucial role in his ability to pull off his Strengthening Magic Generally, a magician has an easier time collecting this stray Ki in environments with higher concentrations of it such as the area where a vicious battle between others has progressed. He has however, been able to manipulate his own Ki reserves with great skill, allowing him to execute attacks without excess waste of Ki. At the absolutely highest level, a master magician's eternano prowess functions as a defense against illusions due to their sheer mastery over it, making them all but immune to everything except the strongest of fabrications. Torio is even able to channel his Ki in a way similar to his Strengthening Magic to enhance the properties of an object, just as a stone, and use it to cause insurmountable damage.
	+ **Physiological Meliorism** (生理的な改善説, *Seiri-tekina Kaizen-setsu*) :Through the use of this magic a user is able to alter the efficiency of particular cells to allow for greater efficiency of a certain physiological process. Particularly used on the endocrine system, nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system; this ability is able to effect all anatomical systems to improve a mages performance. This is done through the manipulation of their Ki, allowing their magic to act as a catalyst or substitute substrate in various reactions in the body. This can greatly increase the output and efficiency of cell, as the body is able to use a form that can be replenished slowly through the means of ambient absorption; which is far less finite than the traditional metabolism and production.
		- **Aldo Mena: Vigilant**- Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands; especially in conditions of stress, increasing rates of blood circulation, breathing, and carbohydrate metabolism and preparing muscles for exertion. So once the mage is able to get control of the glands that secrete adrenaline Torio may experience effects such as increased blood pressure allowing Torio to react faster and become faster in general. As vasoconstriction occurs, Torio may feel a bit stiffer afterwards using this.
		- **Aldo Mena: Unleashed**- The manipulation of norepinephrine can be used to treat oneself and give Torio on final push if Torio is extremely wounded or fatigued. Once Torio seems like he/she is about to faint or lose a fight due to fatigue the norepinephrine can kick in to increase blood pressure. As norepinephrine is referred to as a "stress" hormone, using an excess amount can lead to organs being worn down faster than usual.
		- **Aldo Mena: Propogate**- Using Ki as a substitute, a Mage is able to disperse Ki through the epimysium of the skeletal muscles and cause massive depolarization of the muscle fibers which causes the body to utilize all myofibrils during contractions. This can give a Mage an extra 20% increase in brute force, but this comes with a cost. Because a Mage is overriding the bodies natural defense mechanism of not utilizing all muscle fibers, prolonged use of this spell can result in extreme tearing of the muscles and related torque injuries.
		- **Aldo Mena: Nutriment**- but utilizing substrate substitution or Ki catalysis on the adrenal gland, a Mage is able to increase their levels of cortisol, a steroid hormone. One this spell is in effect, the body will begin gluconeogenesis, allowing the body to have an increased supply of "fuel". Although this can increase the output of muscles, but giving it the copious amounts of energy it needs, it is one of the more risky spells to use; as prolonged use can increase water loss, increase protein and bone degradation, and decrease immune and healing functions. So this spell is best used for a quick boost in power on a final hit.
		- **Aldo Mena: Inspiration-** By increasing production of erythropoietin in the kidneys and liver, the body is signaled to begin erythropoiesis, or the creation of red blood cells. With physiological meliorism a mage is able to increase their erythropoietin levels to hypoxic condition, which is about 10,000 mU of the hormone per milliliter of blood. This increase red blood cell production by almost 1000 fold, giving the mage a greater capacity for gas exchange, allowing their muscles to perform aerobic respiration and prevent the build up of lactic acid, which causes soreness.
		- **Aldo Mena: Vitality**- Activating this spell will increase metabolic rate, protein synthesis, bone growth and repair, and increase the body's sensitivity to hormones like adrenaline. The manipulation of these hormones, via substrate substitution or Ki catalysis, will increase protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism of the mage's body and improve how cells use energetic compounds.
		- **Aldo Mena: Vigor**- Manipulating the hormone produced by adipose tissue, a mage is able to increase the concentration of Leptin going to the hypothalamus. Using this spell helps slow down appetite, speeds up lipolysis, and maintain energy homeostasis allowing a mage to fight without fatigue for a greater period of time, while still maintaining substantial enough energy to fight at peak performance.
		- **Aldo Mena: Overhaul**- Concentrating their Ki on the anterior pituarity gland, a mage can stimulate release of Growth Hormone (GH) to stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. This allows a mage to recover from injuries and minor wounds within a matter of seconds. The effects of this spell is only highly effective on superficial wounds, yet it can help with deep wounds by increasing the healing process exponentially related to the amount of Ki output.
		- **Aldo Mena: Alleviate**- This is a two fold modification that helps with releasing greater concentrations of enkephalin, a pain suppressant. This is one of the more difficult spells to master if Torio wishes to grant instant pain relief. This can be done as a localized spell, or a generalized spell. Torio will modify his Ki to act as a substitute preproenkephalin, a signal peptide that will cause the cells to release proenkephalin. If wishing to use this a precaution, a user can stop this spell in the first stage and allow their body to naturally create enkephalin through the post-translational modification of proenkephalin. If wanting to grant instant pain relief, Torio may enter the second stage and use their magic to catalyze the proteases used to cleave peptide bonds on proenkephalin and greatly reduce the time for the opioid peptide to take effect.

**Swordsmanship Specialist**: Torio's most practiced weapon is that of a tanto blade, something he tends to keep three of on his person. Torio is noted to have a very unorthodox fighting style with his blades, as he will bend his knees and will separate his feet at a shoulder distance to make him a bit smaller and wider. He will keep a front face to the opponent, rather than the convention side face, making him appear to be a larger target to the enemy. However this opening stance allows him to execute an uppercut kick before switching over to a side stance, as many enemies tend to rush in after seeing the broad target Torio makes himself. He will then draw one of his three blades, typically one on the side sheaths, and will leave the horizontal back sheath alone in case of emergency. Torio is seen to use three swords, although he is most frequently seen using one sword he has been shown to be able to simultaneously draw and sheathe his blades at different times making it look like he is holding three blades at once. The speed between his transitions is so great that many cannot see where the next strike is coming from, even higher tier mages struggle to predict and counter the strikes. Being able to use three blades, each with their own infused property, allows Torio to attack rapidly from most angles with a great amount of force, speed, and magical diversity. One of Torio's most frightening features with the sword is that he can use his knowledge of the vital points in the body to pinpoint fast and effective strikes, rendering a mage in critical condition in a matter of seconds. His swordsmanship skill, combined with his immense speed and enhanced strength, become deadly and a definite threat to whoever comes across it.

* **Iaijutsu**: One of the principle sword techniques any mage has at their disposal, this technique is by far his most proficient. Iaijutsu is a combative sword-drawing art, but not necessarily an aggressive art, because iaijutsu is also a counterattack-oriented art. Iaijutsu technique may be used aggressively to wage a premeditated surprise attack against an unsuspecting enemy. This fits in well with Torio's own style because of his multitude of tanto blades and his speed switching combinations. This style would be the basis for his attacks with the three blades he carries.
* **Jikishinkage-ryū**: This is mainly learned to teach a mage footwork and breathing. The footwork used in the Jikishinkage-ryū style and can be translated as *law, rule or method (for) transporting, conveying or carrying ('walking')*. It is stressed that both feet stay firmly planted on the ground at all times. The kiai consists not only of the shouting, like most martial arts, but of the proper way of inhaling and state of mind as well. Every kata has two distinct roles called uchidachi, the striking/attacking sword, and shidachi, the doing/receiving sword. Roughly, the swordsman draws a semicircle (upwards or downwards) with both their right hand (holding the sword), and their left hand (free). They finish the movement with his arms extended, the sword pointing upwards, and the free hand's index finger pointing downwards. They represent all the things in heaven and all the things in earth, and the practitioner in the center of everything. Another typical technique is both arms movement in which uchidachi raises with both arms and receives the subsequent uchikomi with the side of the blade. This results in thrusting the left arm forwards and turning both arms outwards to allow to absorb shidachi's cut which is in kiritsuki style like performed by a kaishakunin.
* **Hokushin Ittō-ryū**: Hokushin Ittō-ryū is a very intense dueling style, which focuses on simple and fast techniques where no unnecessary movements are made. Controlling the enemy’s center line with the Kiri-Otoshi and dominating him with extremely fast tsuki-waza are the signature techniques of this ryūha. The principles of this style are that a perfect technique should contain defense and offense in one action.

* **Marvelous Combination** (マーベラスコンビネーション, *Māberasu Konbinēshon*): Marvelous Combination is a unique sword technique, as it consists of four different attacks chained together. The attacks simply change the motion trail of his sword, but swiftly moving the blade along with alternating wrist and pivot movements, it is extremely challenging to tell which angle the blade will be striking from. If the first hit connects, it is nearly impossible to escape the rest of the combo. This is a combination based on speed and misdirection, making it one of the most versatile moves for Sloane.

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combat**: His most astounding ability, and his most fearsome, Torio is an expert when it comes to close range hand-to-hand combat. His training with members of the CLAS-16 allowed him to learn quite efficient ways to disarm and render mages incapable of combat. He had trained initially in the complex art of Ki no Michi, giving him a ideal build and strength to be extremely sturdy, yet flexible during combat; he later went on to study a variety of different martial arts to become a more well versed fighter. Torio has repeatedly shown his prowess in agility and speed, and when coupled with his impressive strength, his punches are unexpected and bone breaking. Additionally, he is quite inventive in his combat style, coming up with creative attacks on the spot to launch against his enemies, finding ways to use the targets own body against them. When using his Strengthening Magic, Torio excels in raw power, using strong and precise punches, such as power packed jabs or piercing uppercuts, to deal damaging blows to his opponents. Once he catches an opponent in his combos, he keep them trapped by increasing the rate of his strikes with his Speed Magic in a seemingly unpredictable manner, not allowing his opponents a chance to block or counterattack. He has proficient understanding of various martial arts, and will use these techniques when evading blows and countering, as he has a sophisticated understanding of how the body moves in various styles of combat.

* **Ki no Michi** (木の道, *Ki no Michi lit. "The Way of the Tree"*) is a martial arts style created by the monks of the Minstrel Mountains. It is said that the monks created it to be an integration of their martial arts practices and the personal expression of their philosophy to "live like that of a tree. Staying sturdy with deep roots, even in the face of a growing storm or scorching sun." This fast paced, flexible style of martial arts focuses on neutralizing an attack early on or using the users momentum and predicted trajectory to dodge said attack for a counter. It emphasizes a majority of throwing techniques and joint manipulations, although the use of a mages *Ki*, later realized to be Ki, is of great importance when delivering an effective block or counter. Also of particular importance is the timing of a defensive technique, either to blend or to neutralize an attack's effectiveness and to use the force of the attacker's movement against him. This means that a mage must be of fast body and mind in order to read an opponents intentions and movements in order to effectively block.
	+ **God Cedar Cranial Descent** (神杉頭蓋降下, *Kamisugi Tōgai Kōka*): Working best as in immediate counter move to follow an opponent's momentum, however, this move does require a great deal of strength to aid in the execution. As an opponent comes in for an attack, the mage will target the leading foot and scoop one the opponents thighs with their free hand. Using the opponents momentum to aid in their ascension, the mage will lift their opponent upside down so that their head is the closest point of contact to the earth. The mage will then proceed to drop to their side or back, driving the opponent into the earth on their neck and shoulders, or on the top of their head. If executed properly this move will follow one fluid motion and can leave the opponent with severe dizziness, a concussion, cracked cranium, paralysis, or even death if the opponent happens to land in such a way.
	+ **Great Banyan Dance** (大きなガジュマルの踊り, *Ōkina Gajumaru no Dansu*): Beginning with an Ki pulse from a low rise kick to the opponent's sternum, a mage is effectively knocked up into the air. Afterwards, the practitioner's moves will differ based on the opening they see. They will typically swivel gracefully to land a kick to the left side of their opponent. This will shift the opponents center of gravity on their fall to cause them fall on their side. On the opponents decent, a backhand strike to the face will shift the opponent's body to be parallel with the ground. It finishes with a Ki infused punch to the gut upon the opponents impact with the ground. This final blow has been seen to break ribs, and never fails to knock the wind straight out of their lungs. Mages have been seen infusing their own magic into the hits to make this dance much more lethal and powerful.
	+ **Jaya Sri Maha Kick** (ジャヤスリマハキック, *Jayasurimahakikku*): Once the practitioner is able to see an opening, they focus a great deal of Ki into their leg for power, while also maintaining their center of balance and delivers a kick at the opponent's weak spot. The only major weakness of this technique is that the user has to focus a great deal of Ki into their legs, forcing them to lower the power given to their arms; this can be covered by an X guarded stance, or use the free leg to block as well. With the swiftness and power concentrated into the leg, this is easily break bones if an opponent holds no defensive protection. This is also a versatile skill that can be used to launch a practitioner into the air with a vertical distance of 45 feet.
	+ **Jōmon Sugi Thrust** (縄文杉の推力, *Jōmon Sugi no Suiryoku*): This technique begins with an open palm uppercut to the opponent's chin at close range. Once the hand is placed against the opponent's chin, the free hand is then used to strike the connected elbow. The force created from both hands is now behind a single point that's in contact with the opponent's chin. Since the hand is already in contact with the opponent's chin, they won't be able to evade the second hit. This is a skillful move to evade a grasp, as your opponent is within range and would not be able to stand the backward force to their spinal column without releasing their hold.
	+ **Chankiri Revenge** (チャンキリ復讐, *Chankiri Fukushū*): With one arm cocked back, and the other extended forward, the practioner throws a punch from the drawn-arrow stance. The mage delivers an swift punch forward to the chest, using a pulse of Ki to knock the wind out of the chest. A swift turn of the hips will send the other hand to dig into the heart with wrist bent and elbow facing downward. The end result can lead to cardiac arrest from blunt trauma to the heart. This move does take a great skill of precision to deliver the second blow through the spacing of the ribs.So a mage must practice on a multitude of targets before delivering such a fatal blow.
	+ **Kannimara Chord Cut** (カニマラコードカット, *Kanimara Kōdokatto*): while in a fighting stance, the lead fist is thrown straight ahead and the arm is fully extended. With fingers extended outward, the user covers their hand in a coat of Ki; at the moment of impact, the pronated hand is generally held in a horizontal orientation with the palm facing the ground. The power of this attack comes from it's ability to cut the vessels of it's opponent when executed with enough force. Using two fingers can cut off blood flow until the pressure is released, three can cause severe bruising, four fingers can cut superficial nerves and vessels, and 5 finger can damage muscle fibers.
	+ **Tembusu Mania Blitz** (テンブスブリッツマニア, *Tenbusu Burittsumania*): This strike follows a downward push of the target's own strike by applying fierce pressure to the joint's of the target's striking limb and causing it to lose it's consecutive momentum. Afterwards, fighter had to stiff his body to it's utmost limits on the moment of impact. When the practitioner uses it at the right moment in a strike, all of his joints will be fixed. Although difficult, if done correctly,they will strike with the weight of their whole body. When the strike is covered in Ki, and comes in contact with the water that makes up the human body, it sends a shock wave through the body that can temporarily paralyze the target.

**High Intelligence**: Torio is an exceptionally keen individual possessing great wisdom and intuition. He demonstrates a surprising level of knowledge in regards to the workings of mages and combat tactics, and is known to be a renowned tracker and intellect. In many instances he shows an incredible level of intuition and can accurately deduce the events spiraling around him along with correctly analyzing the goals and motivations of those around him. His social intelligence is only complimented by his academic intelligence in the fact that he is well verse in mathematics, science, literature, and history due to his schooling that took place in the Cambium base. His curriculum was compared to that of a high end academy, though he voluntarily endured classes tailored for the soldiers of the base in topics ranging from military strategy to weaponry.

* **Medical Knowledge**: Torio was forced to sit in on the military classes of the Cambium Knights to further advance his knowledge and become a better recruit, being skillfully trained in the art of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). This gave him the knowledge to perform preventative treatment under pressure, as well as without proper medical equipment. Because 90% of combat deaths occur on the battlefield before the casualty ever reaches a medical treatment facility, Torio was sure to study all he can of human anatomy and physiology to better provide for his men on the battlefield when he joined the force; a skill that translates to his abilities on The Outsiders. On record, Torio has been trained in the following courses: Basic Life Support/Automatic External Defibrillation (AED); pharmaceutical calculations; anatomy; physiology; pathophysiology; medical terminology; basic physical exam techniques; medical documentation; pharmacology; basic airway management; medical patient assessment; advanced airway management; pre-hospital trauma emergencies and care; tactical combat casualty care skills; minor surgical skills; obstetrics/gynecology and pediatric emergencies; cardiac pharmacology; and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
* **Enhanced Discernment**: Through years of watching mock interrogations Torio has developed the ability to read people's expressions and intentions with ease. There are occasions when he can detect if a person is lying or not being entirely truthful by listening to their heartbeat as well, making him somewhat of a walking lie detector. After honing his skills in Sound Magic, he is able to almost "predict" peoples attacks just by listening to the sounds of their body and watching the expressions on their face. Some people have even accused this of him being able to "read minds", though the fact is far from that.

**High Pain Tolerance and Heightened Sensation**: Through constant training in Strengthening Magic, as well as High Speed, the flow of Ki has altered the construct of some cells and has given Torio an excessively high pain tolerance, with markedly decreased endogenous concentrations of nociceptin (pain-activating neurotransmitter) and extraordinarily high levels of enkephalin and anandamide (natural biologically-occurring pain relievers), which both serve to decrease pain reception. Furthermore, his thalamus show super-threshold afferent and efferent innervation, especially to the eye, ear, nose, and somatosensors, thus increasing the ability of his central nervous system to receive and integrate external sensory stimuli. This increased perception time has given her a reaction time of 0.054; a time twice that of the average human, and one of the fastest reactions among The Outsiders.

**Enhanced Stamina**: His muscles express extensive and continual neovascularization and increased mitochondrial proliferation, accelerating both short-duration and long-duration muscular contraction by capillary perfusion and readily available creatine phosphate. This physiology grants him greater stamina when compared to an ordinary human, allowing him to operate at peak capacity for several hours without fatigue or assistance from his magic

**Enhanced Durability**: His joints and bone structure have adapted to such strain he puts on his body, as the cells within his joints produce a higher amount of hyaluronic acid, lubricin, proteinases, and collagenases to increase the replacement of synovial fluid at an unimaginable rate. His body has also undergone extreme ossification of his bones due to the weight pushed upon them from constant training and Strengthening Magic. A punch against a concrete wall would be an easy feat for Torio, where as other's fingers would break as if they were matchsticks.

**Enhanced Hearing**: In humans, sound waves funnel into the ear via the external ear canal and reach the tympanic membrane; the compression and rarefaction of these waves setting this thin membrane in motion, causing a cascade of vibrations through the bones of the inner ear and the basilar fluid in the cochlea. These hairs line the cochlea from base to apex, called stereocilia, are stimulated by sound waves, and the intensity of it, to give an indication of the nature of the sound for the brain. The commonly stated range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. But the influence of Sound Magic alters the physiology and anatomy of the cochlea, allowing a mage to hear as low as 12 Hz with an extended upper range of 28 kHz due to modified and multiplied stereocilia. This upper of 28 kHz is similar to that of a cat’s acute hearing, which allows Torio to register ultrasound; something cats are assumed to use in hunting to track the ultrasound emissions of rodents. This is particularly useful in echolocation, as he can send out a pulse of ultrasound and register the distance of particular objects. This also prevents the reverse from happening, as he will be able to hear if any enemy is attempting to use sonar to locate him, although he will not be able to tell the direction of its epicenter. But can emit the same frequency sound to help hide his location for the enemy’s sonar.

**Immense Speed**: Torio is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the average mage due to his physical prowess and High Speed Magic, in combat this speed has allowed him to take down foes in the blink of an eye. He has shown to be fast enough to travel from city to city within a matter of minutes when in the zone of his High Speed. His natural physical speed has been documented at around 63.4 mph, but is able to achieve speeds of Mach 1 (767 mph) while in his High Speed mode, though he has topped out at 782 mph when traveling in a straight line. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems have become far more efficient than those of a normal human due to repetitive training and conditioning. The chemical processes within his muscles are so highly enhanced and efficient that his body does not produce lactic acid or other harmful byproducts of respiration, or rather, it produces so little of it that it is almost negligible. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently, as well as increased tensile strength on his tendons and muscle fibers to better suit that of high speed exertion; preventing him from getting injured due to the strain High Speed potentially places on his body.

**Enhanced Strength**: Torio, despite what many of his opponents think of him due to his lackluster physique, has unbelievable amounts of physical strength, due in part to both his physical training and his potential with Strengthening Magic. It's known that he can easily lift three times his own body weight (384 lbs) without the assistance of magic, though with the help of his magic he is able to lift that almost ten fold. With a single punch he can shatter large portions of concrete and earth without any recoil. When punching he can cause a shockwave within the object to leave a crater impact and can crush most metals with a single hand, something that looks as if he is crumpling paper. In single jump he can reach several stories, catching many airborne opponents off-guard and attacking them in a normal fashion, albeit its limited to his endurance. Though many say his tremedous leg strength, when coupled with his agility and flexibility, would put him on par or above world class athletes. These feats are without the use of magical enhancement, meaning that his magic can give him immeasurable strength that many would never be able to see in their lifetime.

## Trivia

* Torio's appearance is based off of Sakamaki Izayoi from the series "Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru So Desu Yo?".
