Myrtlle Beach Battle!

Eriko made sure to stay on the sidelines and observe this battle, as he told them. He didn't care if they chose not to believe him and wasn't in the mood for battle. Instead he'd judge from afar at the two who chose fight to test their powers. In truth he was not interested, but comparing the two warriors to himself, their power levels seem to be equal to his. In an even fight he could probably take James and they would be on even ground. Izumi on the other hand was a higher level than him, though not much higher. He dedicated this day to relaxing himself from all the work he'd done lately and would not derail that for pointless sparing he didn't want to do.

"Don't worry, you two can rest assured I won't sneak attack you after one falls. It's almost an insult to me because that is completely against my morals for fighting under normal circumstances." sure he was a former member of the Stealth Force, but he was no coward.

He stood on the air watching the water users work their craft. Ice projectiles, clones and the like, these two were throwing every thing they had at each other as if this were a serious fight or decisive battle. Did they realize that they'd tire each other out and needlessly waste spirit energy they could need if a some kind of enemy attacked out of no where? Eriko could understand training at full power for progress, and he could also understand grudge matches where the point was to see who was better, but those situations were between already acquainted rivals. These two were just a couple of Joes who met each other and decided to fight for no reason. If it was fun for them than have it, but Eriko was not going to get involved in that. Not that he was better than them, he just didn't feel like it.
